gowns in the daytime are as obsolete as
mems dress clothes for the same hour,
together with the blazing diamond
studs that used to adorn the manly
bosom in the early days Of American
society.
Today one may go to the biggest kind
of affair Of an afternoon with ae little
preparation as one p!eases; in cloth
gown, made smartly. OF course. but az
simply az one likes.
This is blessing to Mrs. Little
Money, for under the reign Of simplicity
che may hope to make an appearance
equal to that Of Mrs. Lots O'Ducats.
At tea the other afternoon Mrs.
"Stuyve' Fish, who ought to have the
very latest thing, wore tailor made
gown OF red cloth. The skirt was
severely plain; the coat, which was
equally plain, was quite short in the
front and had long tails in the back.
With this smart costume Mrs. Fish
wore black velvet toque.
Mrs. Henry Burnett has been wearing
quite constantly FOR similar occasions a
snuff .colored cloth gown also made
quite plainly, with some embroidery on
the bodice, it's only ornament. One
could mention many other women who
have adopted the gown Of cloth for
their favorite day toilette.
There is one thing that Simplicity
exacts, aid that is careful detail in the

Gates. Every false note is unmistakable.
A great many women have not grasped
this point as yet. When they do, they
will understand that they must give up
buckles. and ornate fastenings OF all
des ,riptions, worn on the small of the
back and the pit OF the stomach. Both
OF these atrocities destroy the very effect
that simplicity would produce.
All the funny little fxinge at the back
of the neck will be tabooed also, as they
have already been by Smplicity's most
intelligent followers.
How a woman can, for a moment,
deceive herself into thinking that, by
destroying one Of the prettiest lines she
has, she increaseO her attn actions, is
beyond me; for l share the French
alteration OF the feminine neck.
Upon the treatment OF the neck Of
the woman's gown often depends the
success or failure OF her ensemble.
Another detail that Simplicity exacts
is perfect corseting.
The long run on the blouse had a
great tendency to make many we'll.
dressed women decidedly careless in this
particular, and some OF them do not
seem to have realized that the present
style is very revealing one, and. il
they are not careful in having them
selves we'll corseted, all the world knows
it.
have 40 often heard women make
tho statement that they are wearing
certain stays for which they were pay

they could not afford better ones; and
yet. at the moment they we're exploiting
this argument, they were probably wear.

White has been the prevailing color.
One girl, whose gown, l think, was par
ticularly good, wore white crepe de
Chine-the new kind that is heavy. and
hangs in clingibg, supple folds, and not
at all like the fiimsy, Auttering stuff
with which we usually associate the
name. It was made very plainly and
severely, with double skirt effect. The
bodice was also Llain, and showed tiny
guimpe OF white mule embroidered in
gold thread. The drapery Of the skirt
was outlined in an exquisite but fine
design, done in the gold thread, and this
design also appeared on the bodice and
sleeves. This does not sound well, but
it was exceedingly smart. And the girl
was tall and slight, and it suited her
tremendously.
Another girl whose gown liked wore
white Liberty satin. polka dotted with
Brussels net. wonder whether l can
make it clear how it was done? 1t was
as though the satin had u lot Of holes
the size Of penny punched out OF it at
intervals Of about three inches. Those
holes were backed, so to speak, by the
net. Machine Stitching outlined each
polka dot. The skirt was quite plain
and mounted over an under clip Of
chiffon. The bodice was Of the same
material as the skirt, draped 60 as to
give it princess effect, and the long
sleeves aud high guimpe were trans.

At the beginning OF the season l said
it was coming, but had no idea it would

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
Turpentine Saturated Waste, Carelessly
Stored, Starts Fire.
Flames, Smoke and Water Damage
the New City Post Ofiice-Con-
fined to Mezzanine Story.

The careless storing of waste saturated
with turpentine was responsible for the nre
at the post office building last night.
For some days painters have been en-
gagged in finishing the woodwork of the
building prior to its occupancy. The use
of hard oil and turpentine was required to
put on the lustrous finish Yesterday they
were working on the doors which inclose
the file cases on the mezzanine floor When
the day closed the clothes of the workmen
and their polishing rags were slowed away
in the file cases. Spontaneous combustion
resulted and soon all the woodwork in the
big room was on fire
The fire department was summoned and
by dint of hard work confined the flames
to the front room, where they were quickly
extingu;shed, and none too soon, for the
flames were attacking the ceiling, and al
though the latter is reckoned freproof,
much of it fell and it is believed the flames
would shortly have found ingress into the
second floor proper.
The room where the fire originated is in
the northeastern portion of the building,
fronting Pennsylvania avenue, and will be
used as a file room The files were con-
siderably damaged, as was the woodwork
about the windows and doors. Some few
desks were scorched. The building was
blackenCd in many places, and water and
smoke did some damage. 1t is estimated
| that a couple of thousand dollars will re-
store the apartment, and the work will not
| delay the occupancy of the building.
