gether, with sometimes a bright cream lace
against the pure white. Another very re-
warding wrinkle Is to add quilted edge of

French knots go beautifully.
Lastly 1t stands to reason in this period
of automobiling that motor get-up of
some sort may sometimes be needed. The
most feasible summer motor garments seen
are the loose pongee coats and matching
hoods, which are used to draw a small
hat. The pattern places also sell models
for these, and many hints for extra touches
can be gained by looking at the imported
things. A loose coat, hanging immensely
full from an odd shoulder yoke, and a hoou
wnIch tied under the chin with immensely
wide strings suggested themselves as good
models for home making. these were shown
in deep ecru pongee. which, however,
comes in other automobile shades, blue red

For her lingerie frocks the young girl will

hair ribbons to match. since 1t will be smart
to have these touches OF color In white or
pale costumes. For her Powered lawn and
organdy gowns she will want belts and
sashes of plain color, and Powered en-
broidered ones will prove effective with her

will prove a necessity with colored gowns,
and with those worn with some color

her hats or frocks will be among the
necessities for the summer.
Gloves Of silk and kid, OF the colors OF
her belts and gowns, must be provided,
only that instead of white gloves she will
get pale yellow ones to take their place.
For visiting frocks she may choose be-

Written for The Star.
With the incoming of short-waisted
gowns fitted or partly clinging to the figure,
lingerie and underwear to accommodate
these new lines In dress have become a
necessity. We have the empire corset-a
cute little thing made of embroidery or
satin brocade or interviewer ribbons-that
just comes below the bust II is very
strongly built, since the set OF the empire
gown depends upon Its excellence of fit.
Quite the opposite of this is the long
slender corset intended for the princess
gown as well as for the more clingtng
varieties Of empire froeks. This style of
corset is also arranged to act as both cor
set and corset cover, so as to have the
waist line as slender possible An at
tachable top of lace with deep fiounces and
shoulder straps decorates the corset to be-
low the bust, and the lower part including
the long hips, Is handsomely embroidered
brocaded or inset with pieces of heavy lace.

most charming of these are in wash en-
broidery materials In white, or pale blue

be made of them. Along with everything
else. such dresses present a luxuriously
feminine air. which the business woman,
who is In a way set apart from the dainty

by many IN the evening, is necessary to
put such costumes together. and If the

a whole season without washing.

In the small picture are shown two frocks

SCHOOL BOYS ARE

Forty Per Cent IN Burlington High

Teachers viii Try to Stamp

Burlington, Jan. Ie.--An inveatiaa
tiun was conducted among the boys OF
Burlington high school recently iii an
attempt to ascertain what percentage Of
them use tobacco. Zach boy was asked
to make written answer Of 'yes" or
mo- to the question, DO You use to-
bacco in any form TO any extentgn and
in such a way that his name was not
used. And when the answers were com.
piled it was found that 10 per cent Of
them said yes
This means that out of about $50
boyssin the Burlington high school at
least 60 use tobacco. and this use OF
tobacco does not mean merely smoking,
but extends also TO chewing. Very few
OF the boys Use 1t to excess, more use
ii oftenef than occasionally and few
use it occasionally.
The teachers are determined to find
some means Of checking this habit. The
majority Of the BOYS Of the two lower
classes are strangers as yet to the habit
and the teachers desire not only to aid
the parents III stopping the use hy
those now using tobacco but to check
the growth Of The habit In those who
do use it now
The teachers are Of the opinion that
barring boys using tobacco from school
Offices and especially from school attn
letic teams would be effective in check
ing the tobacco habit among them. This
