the skirt was tucked in clusters, the
tucked lower part being attached under
scallops. The girdle was of soft black
satin with white and black buttonlike
ornaments up the center of the back.
The novel feature of the second gown
was the use of soutache braiding on soft
pale blue batiste. This idea of using fine
braids and cords on thin materials is very
new, and is charmingly effective and un-
usual looking when cleverly applied. The
gown pictured was braided with fine
white soutache, the little braided collar
or rever on each side of the front being
finished by a tassel in pale blue and
white. Cluny beading was used in con-
junction with the braided insets, the yoke
and sleeves being of fine Valenciennes all
over. DOROTHY DALE

are several very desirable models. Most
of the new skirts of this description are
made in plated style, with tucks, or ap-
piled bands Stimulating tucks trimming
the lower part. Some of these models
show three deep tucks with a group Of
narrow tucks above the first wide tuck
being set In just above the hem of the
skirt with group of, say, three narrow
tucks above, the top group being at about
knee depth, with the second group equi-
distant between. Another variation of
this style is especially adapted to checked
and striped materials, this model show
ing three double bias folds stitched on to
simulate tucks set on at distances of five
or six inches. These skirts show the
plaits stitched well down below the hips
and pressed in sharply to the bottom of
the skirt.
For linen and other wash materials
the gored skirts are liked. great many
cores being used so that, though very
close fitting about the hips, the skirt
falls very full in the lower part.
AS to bodices, the majority of the mod
els show very deep yokes of lace, en-
broidery, fine handwork, or transparent
tucking, and the sleeves, too, or rather
the undersleeves are also, as rule, of
lace etc, so that In many cases really
very little of the material of the gown
proper Is used about the bodice. This
use of a deep guimpe of vest and under
sleeves of lace is also seen in the two
gowns illustrated.

STEEL COMPANY
RAISES CAPITAL

NEW YORK, July 18.-Financial
circles are considerably interested In
the action of the Midvale Steel COM
pany to increase it's capital from
S750,000 to $9,750,000 the final step in
the plan being taken today when the
stockholders meet to give the neces-
sary formal approval to the proposal
of the board of directors. Additional
cash will not be realized by the COM
pany for any of the 100000 of new
stock The plan is to issue the So
100000 of new capital in the form oe
a stock dividend to the holders of the
present s750,000 stock
BY this readjustment of capitaliza-
ton the Midvale Steel company loses
one of the things for which it has been
unique. While other steel companies
have been capitalized often high up,
the Midvale, heretofore, has kept
along with a nominal capitalization.
For nearly 10 years it paid no divi-
dends. even on its small stock, but put
profits back into the plant Recently
big dividends have been paid.
