The wide bands of blue satin around the hips are embroidered in blue and gold Chincse motifs. 10 xEarly Paris Openings in (Extra complimentary copy) For the woman interested in clothes for the more formal occasions. Paris Fashions NUMBERS OF VOGUE Some of the new tunics flare all round, over their smart little narrow skirts. Others are full in front only; others again are as straight as a string. ... And which is yours? Suits, too, are as varied as the minds of men. ..And though the cloche still rules the mil- linery mode, it trims itself upward, downward, sidewise—which lends all the difference in the world to its effect. ... And which is yours? Paris is all very well, one sees. But Paris does so many, many things! .... One needs a guide. | To visualize the mode—and yourself—and your- self in the mode—there’s nothing like Vogue. Vogue isn’t edited for women who want to look like everyone else, but for women who want to look their individual best, smart, distinguished. Vogue isn’t just a collection of models—even of the best models. Vogue is a viewpoint. Vogue is an education in how to dress. Cost? Just $2 for two entire seasons—10 issues—straight through to the Spring Mil- | linery Number! Isn’t that what you’d call a| bargain? .... And just about the only kind of education that’s an entertainment in itself! | $2 Invested in Vogue a tiny fraction of your loss on one ill-chosen gown Will Save You $200 True economy isn’t in going without, always a hateful process. Or in buying fewer or cheaper things. True economy is in getting the right clothes in the first place. Then you don’t discard, later on, and have the | expense of buying again. You get full value for every cent expended—if you spend the first two dollars on Vogue. «Eleven if you mail the coupon now October 1 Motor and Shops | Motor fashions > Features of the motu.

The mem- ory of the extremely aged is remark- able, if somewhat tricky. I knew an old gentleman who could remember sitting on the knee of Lafayette, but could not remember exhuming La- fayette from his grave, which in view of their respective ages would have been, for the purpose of any knee sitting, an operation of the highest necessity—yes, and even higher than that. Mr. Harrison also states it as his ninety-one-year-old opinion that the automobile has destroyed the beauty of Normandy, Switzerland, the Grande Corniche and the rest of the Rivi and this reminds me that in Sumner's “Folkways” there is an account of stone axes which hung behind Scan- dinavian church doors about the time Olaf introduced Christianity into Nor- way. These stone axes were used by Scandinavians in their simple carly , Christian piety as a means of putting Grandpa into a Home for the Aged without the formality of a lot of red tape. Professor Sumner does not exactly say so, but it may be deduced from all the circumstances that the actual number of his years didn’t con trol the fate of an ancient Scandi- navian.
