A
SHORT warm coat is one of the best of all autumn buys: you can wear it with a skirt or a frock, on days when it is cold or when it is still mild.
This one is wrist-long, squarescut, with a stitched panel making a deep yoke. From the yoke the coat hangs straight and full, with a stitched panel each side to match the yoke and slit pockets. Square neck will take any kind of scarf; sleeves are long, plain except for slight gathers at the shoul- ders.
Four big leather buttons fasten it
There is a certain type of coat which is always in fashion: the classic tadored sporta cont. Here is one version of it a short, boxy camel-hair coat which will look an smart over a black frock for town as it will look right over a tweed coat for the country. To convince you of this we show it here on four widely different occasions-for travelling, for town, for the country and for sports. You will see that cach time it looks as

For TOWN, wear the coat over a fine black wool frock, with a straight slim skirt. Hat, gloves and bag should be black, too; a cyclamen silk scarf would lighten the neck.

the
Correct Posture In Young Children
By A TRAINED NURSE
MOTHERS should always bear in
mind the importance of prow-
ing children being taught to sit and stand und walk correctly, Right posture in school children will do inuch, to develop strong men and women.
In good schools care is taken that the seats and desks are of the right height for the pupils, that the children stand and sit correctly, take certain exercisen, breathe deeply, and are not allowed to slouch over their books. In selecting n
n school the mother should inquire Into the amount of time and thought given to the physical development of the child. She should then do her part by neeling that the good rules at school are followed at home, other- wise much energy may be wasted.
Carrect posture in standing con- sists in having the chin held in, the chest high, the shoulders well back, and the abdomen held in. The feet should point straight ahead, and the slight forward curve in the inwar part of the back should not be in- creased. The trunk should incline a little forward from the hips, the weight being thrown more on the front than the back of the feet.
Correct posture in sitting is the same as u standing for the upper part of the body. The child's feet. should rent comfortably on the floor, and not dangle in the air, There fore the chuir he sits on should not be too high.
"Winget!" Shoulder Blades
Most mothers
are familiar with children habitually standing or sit- 1 correctly. Very soon
the shoulder blades look like "wings" the chin is thrust forward, the al- domen protrudes, the chest is flat. the lower part of the back is very noticeably curved, and the feet back very noticeably curved, and the feet often turn outward when the child stands or walks.
All these errors in posture may lead to round shoulders, tagfoot, and sagging Abdominal orgins hence indigestion, under-neurishi- ment, anul anaemia. The child often feels tired and restless without knowing the reason.
Some years ago the children were all taught to for out when they be- gan to walk, but this has been found to be a wrong iden, und often leads to flatfoot later on. The natural way for a baby to begin walking is to toe in a little. This should not
