Does the road wind up-hill all the

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?
You cannot miss the inn.
Shall I meet other wayfarers at
night?
Those who have gone before. Then must I knock or call when

Jane Gordon is helping you to choose your winter wardrobe.
To-day she discusses everyday clothes, advises
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-plece 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 small 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 he elbow length or long.
IF 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 suit underneath, only in a thicker inaterial. It will be the last word if it is lined with heavy taffeta of a brilliant shnde, such as tangerine or violet-blue, to match the blouse of the same material and colour.
The jacket of the tailored suit must fit like n glove, and it will look less bulky under the coat if you choose a single-breasted style, belled or unbelted, as you like.
The skirt must be slim and 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 grent many of them this winter. They are short, reaching only three to three and a half inches below the knee. They are cut tight over "the hips und then flared out to the bem.
They may be pleated or plain, and they are "worn with tight-filing jockets, some with pockets, some plain, and all with leanings towards Norfolk jacket style.

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 enormous front piece with slit at one side which can be slipped over the arm to make a one-shoulder cape.
The wide-brimmed Mexican hal is in 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 wine- coloured velvet scarf and velvet hat. A navy blue top coat 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.
