GRAY CORDUROY GOWN
May he Made without Trimminss
Combined with Persian Lamb.

A very becoming gown and . very
practical one is of mouse color or steel
gray corduroy of good quality, much IN
vogue at the moment. Nothing gould
be more fit than a jacket bodice with a
rippling basquine. A smart touch
would be to line the latter with white
satin. though black or the same shade
Of gray would do quite well. As Tor
the trimming, nothing can compare TO
a bordering of black Persian lamb.
The bodice will need narrow blouse OF
gray, or black, or white plated chiffon,
with bretelles of black satin ribbon,
finished off on the shoulders in double
tabs, bordered with lamb. bishop or
gigot sleeve, with black satin cuffs,
narrow bands or gauntlets with FUR
bordering. To girdle the waist black
satin sash, with long ends tied in the
back, or black satir belt, with smart
bow on the left side faced with white
satin. or do without the bow. If hand
some gold buckle can be substituted for
belt. The neck OF the bodice may be
finished by corduroy. faring collar,
turned over. or q moderately high one.
bordered with Persian lamb. or simple
black satin ribbon passed round tee
neck twice and then tied In pretty
how. lace rutf or fat turned-down
band should be adjusted afterward to
break the harah line Of the ribbon next
the throat. For street wear Persian
lamb jacket or cape, with high collar
and muff. and a toque, with either the
crown of lamb or a waved edge, in COM
bination with black or gray velvet.

Everyone knows how to spell "hard
water" with three letters, but proba-
bly, some readers would be puzzled to
spell yesterday" with six. A Cincin-
natl girl could tell them how, according
to the Enquirer.
She does not yet go to school, but n
taught by her mother at home. The
other night her father was hearing hes
spell. One word after another was sue
cessfully disposed of, and then he said:
"Now, Annie, am going to give you
hard one. If you spell it correctly
III bring you some candy. How do
you spell yesterday
1t was hard one. Annie thought of
the candy, and just then her eye caught
the calendar hanging against the wall.
Then she answered, with a smile Of tri-
umph: "F-r-i, yester, day, day, yes
terday."
