THE WORLD OF WOMEN

By Jonn Savoy

If you choose carefully, your prize football game costume will remain a prize outfit for all kinds of wintry adventures,

Cloth coats, with fur trim, vie with fur couts for. cold day wear when you stay out in the wind.

You can match your dress to your coat and hat and have a symphony of different tones of the same colour. Or it is smart this year to have a flaming wool dress to wear under your heavy coat.

One of the smartest cloth coats seen this season is a novelty wool tweed, with the broken stripes of brown against beige running diagonally. The irregular stripes are shaded dark browns which gives you a lot of leeway in the colour of your dress. The coat is fitted with no belt, has neat little self-materiai lapels and then a high elbow cuff and a scarf of raccoon.

Under this a two-piece dress of angora in the lightest shade of brown has à little scarf of dark brown velveteen. The dress has a sweet round yoke effect and it, like the coat, is unbelted.

Very different and nowhere near so demure is the swagger coat of leopard, with beaver trim. The dress is flamingo red, also two-piece, but belted with the shiny black satin which fashions the puffs of the sleeves, too.

While the brown angora dress is gored to give it flare, this flamingo dress has a kick plent right in front and one in the back. Both huts match the dresses.

WIVES' MISTAKES.

One such mistake led me discover what an understanding novelist calls the "Island of Sim- pllefly,"

This was the way of it.

As a spinster I had a well-paid post, giving me desirable indepen- dence at home.' In addition, fen- joyed good clothes, good seats at fentertainment, spent freely on

usents and the liko, travelled int every opportunity, and always hnd money in my purse.

Marriage made me financially the poorer. This occasioned the usual sort of acid comments.

But, and here was where I ferred, these comments stung my pride, making me secretly deter mined to prove that every house- wife need not live in a rut. 1 never stopped to query If spinsters ruts were superior to those of wives.

up

So I foolishly tried to run my old pleasures conjointly with my new, insisting on visits to nlays,

lectures, keeping with old friends, entertaining on far too extravagant scale-a conseless whirligig that I thought was "life."

All this was crammed in with my marriage and the founding of a home.

I know now that hundreds of oung wives attempt the same Herculean task. The only result for me was that I found myself in the worat rut of all: bounded on ne side by a stilted 'acquiescence with old ways of going on; and on he other by a refusal to make any new, stimulating contacts.

The life I imagined to be full and virile was merely so com- plicated that I hardly knew which way to turn. The sides in the narrow channel I had so busily deepended, hid successfully those wider horizons thut free 2 woman's soul.

Trying to escape, I was caught in the swirl of uncontent and dia- enchantment; till I chanced upon the lonely "island of Simplicity."

Lovely, secure, impregnable, an island of quiet joys-books, music, flowers, elildren, love and home- all the worth-while tags I had so nearly missed.

And now and then I voyage to this happy "Island of Simplicity" alone, always returning with serenity to meet the world.
