DECOLLETE GOWNS AND LARGE HATS
A Most Charming Combination, Enabling All Women
to Appear Attractive When Dining

freshening them with the new ribbons,

is always in style and nearly covers part

Silk Innings
The idea is now firmly fixed in the fem
inine mind that all dresses, cotton, wool
or silk, must have a silk lining that In this
off season, when many bargains in short
lengths are to be picked up, we should
buy for future use. A taffeta skirt lining
gives dress a handsome appearance and
makes 1t hang so much better that the
cost is nearly made up to the wearer by
the saving on the outside material. When
buying, see that you get a firm silk; it need
not be heavy, but must be of the quality
that sells at from 75 to so cents yard. The
crackle is no longer wished sufficiently loud
to warn all of its presence.
Along the shades correct for these skirt
Innings are golden browns, tabac and mar
ron, triancon, porphyre and rose pink, roi
and refine red. orange, the two lighter tur-
nuoise shades, the emerald greens, the
pervenche blues Of medium tints, light
violet and the medium rose shades called
cyrano, which will line gray, black or
brown dresses beautifully.

WHAT THE CHILDREN SAT-

sound of scampering feet,
And find myself prisoner ere can beat
retreat;
The robbers seize my parcels and search
my pockets through,
And bear me to their castle spite Of all
that can do.
There the queen of these banditti gently
chides their boist'rous glee,
And asks how many kisses 1t will take to
Oh. is there any pleasure in all the busy
day
That's quite as sweet as listening then to
what the children say?
Helen thinks a hundred kisses are enough
TO ransom me,
II I'll change them all for pennies bright
as soon as am free;
While Harry claims that Papa Is mora
valuable than that"
And so the rascal confiscates my overcoat
and hat.
But tender hearted Josephine makes terms
for my release;
We'll let you go, dear papa, for Just one
kiss apiece"
When I've paid my ransom duly, this val
liant robber band
Escorts me to the table, with a guard on
either hand
There for a blessed hour I fling nv cares
away
And grow younger as listen to what the
children say.
From my prison in the study detect them
stealing by,
TIL they think they're ont Of hearing than
with shouts away they fly
All about the house they frolic-now below.

Little chance I'll have for study TIL theysrn

But at last there comes silence. and

Ihree little sober faces clustered at their

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-(Special Core
ypondence to The Herald) Artists discov-
cred long ago that a decollete gown worn
with large hat made the most of wo-
mans beauty. French actresses studying
the art of being beautiful have appeared
of late on the stage, at their stage dinners,
dressed in this manner and now the "ele-
Eantes" have adopted the vogue with en-
thusiasm. Brilliant evening gowns dis
playing beautiful shoulders are seen every
where at fashionable restaurants. With
these are worn large hats hitherto consid-
cred only appropriate for day wear or Tor
high gowns II is a delightful innovation,
and many a comparatively plain woman
has been made over into beauty by the
combination of low gown and large hat
We shall see the style here this winter.
Even now few society women have been
seen at Newport dining at the Casino
dressed in this manner
In the same spirit women are wearing
this summer muslin gowns in the street
which were until today supposed to be
suitable only to the house. How have they
been made acceptable? 1t is again by learn
Ing from the Partisan that touch Of black
makes everything possible These light
mt,slins are toned down by black. One of
lavender with a deep fiounce and round
waist and sleeves in diagonal tucks has
tiny black net ruche on the edges of the
ruffle and two above in wavy curves; ruff
He'd epaulettes edged with black give a
fluffy look to the waist which has full
yoks and collar Of white muslin edged with
two puffs of black. Belt of black ribbon
with buckle Of steel. OF course this black
net will not wash but no one makes up
thin gown nowadays with view to its
washing.
Here Is hin. which you will probably
thank me for. With these muslin gowns
you need not wear black ribbon around
your neck because you wear a black belt.
You can use white ribbon for the collar IL

piece, not at all expensive. Velvet is also
In use with these summer gowns and is far
more becoming han taffeta or satin ribbon.
Dressmakers prophesy that it will be

he'fa!l.
Velvet adds a richness to silk or woollen
goods, as we all know, and a small GUAM
tity is as effective as much more of an
other fabric. Here is another hint. Partly
worn cotton gowns can be freshened and
appear like new with new ribbon sashes.

A New Game for Summer Evenings

Information parties are the newest form
Of amusement. They are designed to In
clude all those persons who usually decline
anything in the way Of game on the plea
that they "are not intellectual, you know"
and "have only time to read the papers"
To read the papers is all that Is required
in this game. The war information is the
favored branch of this interrogative game.
To begin with, you must have good mem
DRY if you want to take the head prize, and
Of course you do, particularly If the'head
prize is a silver belt BUCKLE and you are
man, or a shaving mug and you are
woman. No civil service examination is re-
quired to test the said quick memory-its
presence or absence will be divulged later
on. The first person begins by asking some
leading question, as "Who was the Spanish
admiral at Manila?" ealing upon some
one of the party to answer. If answered,

unanswered, she continues asking until
she finds ready response. OF course 1t is
understood that no one may ask question
she or he cannot answer. You may think
you know all the war to Its minutest de-

how little, after all, one knows as to neces-
sary details. Lots of useful knowledge a nd

4 BUTTERFLY'S DAINTY MEAL

There stroled blithesome maiden
In cool and shady wood.
A butterfly came gaily
And kissed her where she stood.
"Forgive me-" prayed the vandal,
"Forgive me mine offense.
While was honey supping
Among the flowers dripping.
Thy red, red lips bewtching,
Like roses, lured me hence"
Then laughing spake the maiden,
For this time, little thing,
Will I forgive your shining,
But. mark, in the beginning,
These roses do not blossom

The New Wells Reach Just to the Eyes

A new veil that women are experimenting
with is a black net, heavily dotted, but only
up to the level of the eyes. On level with
the range of vision no dots are woven and
the effort of the manufacturer is obvious
and commendable. This new policy has
been most conspcuously pursued with re-
gard to the white wells dotted with black.
quite the most binding masque a woman
can wear. A thing even more evil than that
is the dark blue veil with white dots that
is selling like the traditional hot cakes.

A Word About Summer Luncheons

Do not have your flowers too profuse.
Do not oversalt anything, as it induces
thirst; and do not forget that the trickle
Of ice Is sweetest of hot weather music.
Use it, cracked, under olives and around
tomatoes If they be served alone; shave it.

other cold beverages; indeed, introduce 1t
wherever possible. -Woman's Home Com
