Captivating
Whoever thought up the morning
coat, or breakfast coat, ndded a new
joy to life. It has taken Its hrlght
place In our midst and Is welcome to
Btay, and destined to do Just that, for
the rest of time. It will take n great
Inspiration to create something equally
captivating to replnce It.
The morning coat Is a gay and pretty
garment, made of light-colored taffeta,
on the lines of a regulation coat. It
la dignified enough to appear at the
breakfast table and frivolous enough
to be charming. It Is long, reaching
almost to tho bottom of the lacy petti
coat that Is its companion for life.
It has a coat collar and a belt and fast
ens nt tho front like any other coat.
In tho matter of sleeves It Is wayward
refusing to go further than elbow or
three-quarter length.
In tho coat shown In the plcturo
there are pockets at each side edged
-with shirred. bands . of taffeta. This
i finish Is used on tho sleeves and down
Jthe front of the coat and the buttons
"Furward" March!
AIl millinery minds appear to travel
to an Inevitable goal, no mntter by
what road they go. When they nego
tiate with faBhlon concerning the mat
ter of mld-wlnter hats, fur and velvet,
fur and metal brocades, fur with metal
embroideries, fur with metal cloth, ap
pear to be the end of their Imagina
tions. One might think It contrary to
the constitution, to the realm of style,
to leave out fur; for U la everywhere.
But, If the designers haven't fur then
they use fabrics tluit suggest it, oM
feathers.
Very small neckpieces made to
match, nccount partly for tho partial
ity shown to fur. Just n touch of
fur on tho hnt, and a high collar, llko
a small muffler of tho same fur, to be
worn with the hat, leaves no doubt
In tho mind ns to tho smartest thing In
winter millinery. The neckpiece may
lo n scarf or cape, and both It and the
hut that goes with It mny be of clqth
and fur. Designers havo made many
variations on this themo and all of
them successful.
Three new arrivals in millinery are
shown in the group above. Something
botween a cap and a turban nt tho cen
ter of tho picture, Is made all of caracul
and It In draped up at the center of
the front rcvenllng a gleaming bit of
silver brocade on n black ground. This
hat Is soft and furnished with n chin
strap of the fur that extends from side
to side and fnotens with a onnp fast-
ener.
Very few hats are stiff, but there

arc covered with taffeta. They fasten
through cords, mado by covering cable
cord with the silk Instead of shirred
bands, full box-plnlllngs made of nar
row strips of silk, frayed out Into
fringed edges, make n lovely finish.
Almost anyone could make a coat of
this kind if it were worth while to
spend the time, but they are so Inex
pensive ready made that there Is noth
ing to bo gained by doing tho work
at home. '
Of course nothing could look bet
ter with n breakfast coat than the lit
tle lace cap that has u remote reseni-l
blance to a sunbonnet with Its capo of
lace behind and frill over the face.
The ribbon that extends across the top
of it ties nt the nape of the neck In
the back and Is of the same color as
the coat. Tho tiniest chiffon flowers
are set In little clusters on It. Pink,
maize, blue, lavender aind light green
are all used for these coats with the
preference at, present for pink and
maize.

are soft. The pretty hat at the lower
right Is of this description. It Is mado
of taupe-colored velvet embroidered
with silver threads. The coronet Is
edged with moleskin and the soft
crown Is finished with threo small
pompoms of this fur sot where the vel
vet drapery is fastened down.
The hnt nt the left Is of brotfn but
ters' plush with tho brim smoothly
covered and the crown draped with
this beautiful material. It dares to
be furless, Inasmuch as the plush la
much like a glossy fur, and Is trimmed
with a handsome flat band of feathers
that extends across tho front of the
brim.
Veils Have Magic Lure.
The lure of the veil Is second only to
the lure of milady's eye. For motor
use the veil- Is of thick substantial
chiffon almost too coarse to claim rcc
ognltlon to Its parent stem, and prefer
ably In taupe, befgo or gray, though
some of the darker brown veils are ex

grim winter landscape with a touch of
color. Where the veil Is nttnohod tn

the sepnrato veil the stylo that Ik liked
Is square about threo nnd n half bv
four yardH or even longer, and Is cleft1
nt one end or both for a short ways to
admit of close draping In helmet effect
about the head and face.

null Nancy laughed.
"Of course," they said, an they
smiled. And Daddy's eyes twinkled.
"You know wc do It tool" said
Nancy.
"To be sure, to be sure, so you do,"
said Daddy. And both the children
laughed still harder.
"Well," said Daddy, "as you've seen
children waving to trains as they
whizz along through the country, nnd
us you've wnved yourselves, I must tell
you the story of Laddie.
"Laddie was a little boy with curly
golden hair and big blue eyes. Of
course when he grew to be big he
hoped his curls would nil be gone, for
die wanted to havo short hair and look
llko a big boy. But ho was only n lit
tlo chnp now and his mother loved
his curls so he said he would not
mind them until another year passed.
"Ills eyes wero very big and blue
land his cheeks very rosy, and ho was
round nnd chubby nnd fat.
"Laddie lived out In the country on
a farm nnd not far away were the rail
way tracks. How Laddie did lovo to
feee the great long trains go rushing
.by nnd the curling blue smoke coming
.from the engine 1
, "no would sit on the back porch of
his home and watch nnd watch the
.trains as they went by, and every dny
there wero sure to be trains pnsslng
live different times. Lnddle was al
ways there on the back porch, just as
jrcgularly as if he had to be there.
"And every time a train would pnss
Laddie would wave and ns he waved
ho would think of the people in the
.train and how they would go on nnd
on Into wonderful parts of the lnnd,
new parts he had never seen.
"Often people would wave back to
Jilra and then he would smile und run
Laddie Would Wave.
Into the house after the train had
gono saying, 'Mother, they waved to
me today 1'
"That always made him very happy.
Ho loved having the people In the
trains notice him, for he thought they
were so exciting those people In the
trains going off on adventures.
"Now one day he was sitting on the
back porch for it was almost time for
the twelve o'clock train to pass. He
had been up since early morning nnd
he had been working with his little
tool chest. He was quite tired but ho
wanted to see tho train that always
went by at noon.
"It wns not qulto noon yet and Lad
die was waiting. 'I feel bo sleepy,' ho
Bald to himself. 'I don't know wheth
er I will over be able to wave to the
twelve o'clock train.' And as he said
that ho nodded a little- and his eyes
shut.
"'Lnddle, Laddie," said n voice and
then a great, shrill whistle Bounded.
Later an engine was puffing, pufllng,
puffing nnd It went more slowly nnd
more slowly until nt last It stopped.
"Laddie, Laddie,' said the voice
again, nnd n man Jumped down from
the engine of the train.
"Tm the engine driver,' he sold,
and I've often seen you wnvlng to the
twelve o'clock train. Jump aboard
for I know you long to see the world.
I'll show you a part of It that Is I
will Bhow It to you with tho assist
ance of my powerful engine.'
"Ho picked Lnddle up and he snt
by the window of tho engine cnb.
They went along tho country bo fast
that Laddie wished ho had hundreds
of pairs of eyes.
"no saw farm houses Just like his
nnd yet a little different. He bow
cows and they seemed to be so tired.
They hardly even noticed the train
They don't care for the world much,'
flnid Laddie.
"They like n world of grain,' Bald
tho engine driver. They passed goats
nnd pigs nnd horses. They Bnw chll
dren who waved to tho trnln nnd they
enw fields and hills and valleys,
We'll send you back by the six o'clock
train which passes thlB one further
along,' said the englno driver.
"I never had any Iden there wns
bo much to see,' said Laddie as he
rubbed his eyes.
"Asleep, he heard his mother Bay.
'Goodness me, Lnddle, you've been
having n nap, and the twelve o'clock
train hns gone by.'
"Never mind,' enld Lnddle, 'I wns
on It,' nnd It wns several moments be
fore his mother knew what he meant."
