PONGEE GOWNS VERY SMART

Pongee gowns are only suitable for
hot weather. hut already dressmakers
are exhibiting among their model
gowns many made Of pongees, both in
the naturel color and the dyed. When
the pongee in its natural color is be-
coming there is no material that
equals It for summer wear. for not
only does 1t look cool, but 1t is cool,
and the light tan when becoming Is IN
tensely SO The newest styles show
that embroidery of the same shade OF
silk and worked on the pQngee Is TO
be a popular trimming, ah also pa
tiste medallions and embrolNhry are
used. The regular shirt waist style IS
also fashionable, made with pleated
skirt and waist and at the throat a
pointed yoke and collar Of lace the
same shade or white Persian embrol-
derry I'm bands is also a fashionable
trimming and is introduced in a mar
row vest effect with collar and under
sleeves OF the same.
ColOred pongees are very smart, but
in the darker shades are not especially
durable, however. as they fade under
the influence of weather and wear in
curionus graysih fashion; the col
oring is voted artistic rather
than shabby, and SO the In
vestment is not such a bad one after
all. The same styles that were fash
ionaIble last year are again popular

WOMAN'S REALM
The Women We Want

II is easy enough TO be pleasant
When life flows by like song;
But the woman worth while is the one
who will smile
When everything goes quite wrong
For the test OF the heart is trouble,
And 1t always comes with the years.
And the smile that is worth the praises
of earth
Is the smile that shines through
tears.
1t is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray,
When without or within no vice or sin
Is mring your soul away.
But it's only negative virtue
Until it is tried by the fire.
And the life that is worth the honor of
earth
Is the one that resists desire.
By the cynic. the sad. the fallen,
Who had no strength for the st.i ife
The worlds highway is cumbered to-
day,
They make IN the items of life
But the virtue that conQuers passion.
And the sorrow that hides in a smile
1t is these taat axe worth the homage
Of earth,
For we find them but once in &
while.

ial are not Thought so smart to trim
pongee as yelling or other materials,
perhaps because the dyed laces them

the pongee, especially in dark blue,
fading in one color and the lace in an

Light gray pongees and also the
light green are very attractive and are
trimmed with white or black and
white. Occasionally a gray is seen
with bands of pale blue or green en-

Worth Knowing

is explained by the silk manufacturers
as being caused by the weavers oiling
their hands to make them smooth so
they can weave faster. The practice is
not permitted, but sometimes the fore
mans observation Is eluded. and the
