Yes, to the very end.
Will the day's journey take the

From morn to night, my friend. But is there for the night a rest--

A roof for when the slow dark
hours begin,
May not the darkness hide it
from my face?

Jane Gordon is helping you to choose your winter wardrobe.
To-day she discusses everyday clothes, advises a four-piece outfit as both economical and smart, for town or for country
wear,
CCORDING to my calculations your winter wardrobe contains by now a four-purpose evening model, which we chose last week;
a winter top coat for town or country, and an ankle-length tunic frock. The moment has now arrived when you should add a four-piece suit to your collection.
These four-piece suits are eminently practical whether you live in town or in the country. The model Angrave has sketched for you is designed more for country wear:. The voluminous top coat will keep you as "snug as a bug in a rug.” The plaid will be equally smart in the amall shopherd variety or the large bold type so dear to the heart of the bounder,
The skirt of this model is plaid and the jacket in plain cloth.
If your plaid is of the thick rug type, then, chose a heavy duvetyn, suede, or leather for your jacket, and wear a ribbed jumper underneath, of wool or heavy silk, with or without a collar, and let the sleeves be elbow length or long.
you live in town let your top coat be of the seven-eighths or knee length, and have it
in the same plain colour as the sull snoerneath, only in a thicker material. It will be the last word it It is lined with heavy taffeta of a brilliant shade, such as tangerine or violet-blue, to match the blouse of the same material and colour.
The jacket of the tailored sult must at like a glove, and it will look less bully under the cont if you choose a single-breasted style, belted or unbelted, as you like.
The skirt must be slim ond straight or flared in the new skating skirt fashion,
These new skating skirts are the most important feature of one of the leading London shows, and you are going to see a great many of them this winter. They are short, reaching only three to three and n half inches below the knee. They are cut tight over the hips and then flared out to the hem.
They may be pleated or plain, and they are worn with tight-fitting jackets, some with pockets, some plain, and all with leanings towards Norfolk jacket style.
One suit with a black pleated skirt has a tightly draped sash ground the waist and is worn with sulphur tweed jacket. There is any

Some of the smartest four-piece suits this winter are made of a mixture of cloth and velvet.
For instance, a fine face cloth is used for a plain skirt and jacket with wide revers of deep royal purple velvet. The short-sleeved shirt is made of the same velvet, and the knee-length top coat of cloth has an enorius front piece with slit, at one skle which can be slipped over the arm to make a one-shoulder cape.
The wide-brimmed Mexican hat is fn black felt with the turned-up brim in purple velvet.
A three-quarter length coat of olive green Jersey Is worn over a suit of the same shade with a winc- coloured velvet scarf and velvet hat. A navy blue top cont cut on generous lines is worn with a skirt made with a really bulky box panel in front and worn with a blue and white cashmere fringed jumper, The hat has a great tassel on one side.
.
VELVETEEN and Jersey are two more
materials that are going to be very much with us this winter. You can find jersey thick enough to make the heaviest kind of top coat and One enough for the stimmest tailored suit or day
frock.
Velveleen is used for dresses and swing conta Uned
with taffeta, or else for smart sults with hip-length jackets cut in light at the waist and flared out into a basque, worn with straight or flared skirts,
