So Garments Difficult Describe Wraps-Short
~ Sleeves with Big Nfuffs Supp ement Them

ton Of an original touch Little scarfs and
coats add variety to white gowns One chic
little model though dignihed by the name of
bolero, was merely pair of bretelles made Of
pompadour silk and bordered with green velvet

but in front were separate and finished with
buttoned tabs attached TO the waist. The gar
ment did not meet under the arms. but was
spread out over the shoulders to cover a part
of the sleeve. The shoulder effect was drooping
an idea which seems to be carrying consider
able weight just now. A garment of this sort
is appropriate for any lingerie gown and adds
much to the effect OF even simple dotted
muslin.
A charming way TO make up one of the striped
gauZes so much in vogue is 10 trim IL with taf
feta in the solid color. One such gown was of
white silk gauze striped with old rose The
skirt was trimmed with bands of all-over va
lenciennes put on in shallow scaIlops and finished
on the lower edge with narrow pleatings OF rose
colored taffeta. The lace blouse was nearly
covered by a draped f1chu, which crossed on the
bust, with the ends carried to the back where
they were converted into long sash ends. The
fichu was trimmed with the narrow silk pleat-
ings.
Another gauze dress was made up with a
short-waisted tunic and trimmed with narrow
black velvet ribbon used to work out a pattern
after the manner of soutache. The skirt was
long and shirred under high belt Several
inches above the hem was band of an intricate
pattern, carried out in narrow velvet ribbon, the
design being repeated about the tunic. The
tunfc had no belt but shirred under the
bust The skirts were very open in 'front.' and
the top, which was crossed like a fchu was at
tached to the line of shirrings with bows and
long ends of black velvet. A point to be noticed
in this dress was that the tunic, or rather the
body of it, was much shorter than the blouse
beneath it,
A lot of velvet ribbon is used, both on gowns

'"The London Lancet has been warming its
readers aginst the table implements at restau-
rants, the door handles of public places and We
hicles and. above ALL the coin of the realm. The

While much has been said, from material
standpoint, about the effect Of dress upon the
health the spiritual side has been largely ig-
nored. The mental discomfort of an unbecom-
ing or badly fitting garment is probably greater
than the bodily Uneasiness OccasiOned by over
tight bands or footwear, and the former, per-
haps, causes more actual physical harm. 1t is
not the least of the hardships of poverty that a
garment that offends the taste cannot be dis
carded, but has to be worn, with all it's depress-
ing effect upon the mind until something at least
OF it's money value has been extracted from it,
Alterations may mend matters, but that means
the last state Of the garment will be worse
than the first.

line must always be little above Its natural

Tailored costumes of silk toile are much used

half-long fitted coat and plain skirt.
A model gown for afternoon wear which was
shown the other day displayed wealth and
style of trimming that WOULD have been con-
sidered in bad taste few years ago. The gown
was of delicate black Chantilly lace over white.
On the bottom was a wide band of white lace
running up into the black lace in points. lightly
embroidered with black silk and silver thread
and sprnkled with small silver beads. The
bodice showed yoke of the embroidered white
lace. and the draped belt was Of blue and black

A novel use of narrow ribbon was seen on the
yoke OF a lingerie gown. Ine r1DDOn was USED

entire top. The sash of blue silk matched the
ribbon and the sleeves were finished with little
blue bracelets. This simple fashion of finishing

A famous veterinary surgeon declares that
grass beats all the drugs in creation as a cure

a few quarts of grass daily from spring until

is the same as fresh vegetables and fruit 70 us.
Their craving for il proves their need OF it. Yet
ignorant unfeeling drivers yank them away
from il as il ii was poison instead of the life
