The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1908-01-17

The American woman is most alert and enthusiastic, and has a fine in.
tuition when 1t comes to matters of dress. Just now she Is busy looking with
q happy forethought, after the question of wherewithal she shall be clothed.
The features that cannot be overlooked are embodied in innumerabe different
designs. Thus the skeleton bodice, which really deserves a name more In
keeping With its dainuneM, Is everywhere in evidence. 1t is about all that
is to be found in twopece dresses for indoor wear. It's use proclaims that
the lingerie waist will be needed morning, noon and night &
Princess gowns come in for as much consideration, If not more, than ever
before. Into many of them. the bretene idea in the waist portion Is intro.
duced. When the entire gown is of one material or color, a chemisette and
lace cuffs are added in white or cream. This touch of white is the most be-
coming and fetching" addition that eve was taken up by the feminine world.
In the twopiece suits for the street, skirts are clearing length o shorter,
What a pity that the great establishments who provide for every other need
in the world of women, don't have a department Of instruction in the wearing
of clothes o their adjustment at least. The observer is forced to the con-
clusion that money is a little worse than thrown away by the woman who
lavshes 1t on her apparel and has no style or carriage of person. to har-
monize with her hnery, A day Or o ago, a girl in a wel.tahored blue cotn
gown entered a street car, and, as usual all eyes glanced at the newcomer.

dressed hair, at just the right angle. A graceful and full cluster of coque

the best dressed woman, in a very well dressed little company.
Thirty minutes later, a lady preceded the writer or the pavement. She
had a round figure which was to be envied, entirely spoiled, however, by q
sloppy" carriage. A magnificent fur coat, shapely and we'll made, en-
veloped her. but 1t suggested instantly, a Indians blanket. She couldn't
have worn 1t worse. A handsome plumed tuban had lost its balance, APP
parenty, and was hanging on by a hat pin presumably, reinforced by a veil
tied In a ragged knot at the back. No n looked at her twice. She was
not worth while. A woman who isn't energetic enough to wear her clothes
well, Or doesn't know how to, isn't to be envied her fnery. She would look
better in the most inconspcuous of belongings.

Gases In Sewers.

City people who are occasionally
startled by seeing a manhole cover
blown from the pavement generally
ascribe the blame to leaking gas
mains. But there are probably many
other sources from which dangerous
gases find their way into sewers. and
one Of these is indicated by an inves,
tigation recently reported to the
American Chemical society by Prof. A.
A. Breneman. He showed that the en-,
trance Of a mixture of gasoline and
soap into drains and sewers from gar.
ages, factories and other places
where such materials are employed
for washing, is sufficient to account
for the liberation of much combustible
yapor, which may play a part In sewer
explosions.

Gorgeous Costume Worn
by Partisan Beauty

A perfectly plain tailor gown In cloth
Is being thrust aside for only simplest
morning wear. according to a Paris
letter to Vogue. For afternoon the
tailored costume Is enriched with
most elaborate braidings and silk en-
ing a mass of handwork, making the
cost of the costume something fearful
to contemplate. At the races the
other day beautiful Nine. Salvage
launched a long tight redingote in
baby lamb, its fronts pointed, its sides
slashed open, while the back breadth,
only slightly curving into the waist
line, falls longer again in ~cascading
outline. 1t has long close sleeves, and
long lines of black silk braid down all
the cams and on all the edges, while
the base of the tails and Of the pointed
fronts, as well as bust and sleeve tops,
are sompletely covered with heavy,
highly raised black elk embroidery
mixed with soutache. On the fronts
and all down the sleeve lengths there
were black silk tassels. This coat was
lined with white chiffon shingles, bor-
dered with a pretty colored EN-.
broidery, and 1t was worn open to
show a pale canary-colored suede
waistcoat embroidered in colors, and a
tight-ftting, long canary.colored cloth
skirt bordered with a band of sable.
Her hat was a tall Hugenot in rough
black silk felt with a narrow brim
rolled up very much on one side, the
whole rather big of crown and sitting
low about her head. The hat was cir.
cled with a band of sable and at one
side there was a large black tuft of
~aigrettes, This hat sat a very little
bit back On the head, showing the en-
circling braid of hair which pressed
low about head and ended In a bunch
Of puffs on each side of a black coil.

Mr.. John Munro proposed that wireless
telegraphy be utilized to send hour sig.

distance OF 200 or 800 miles from shore
In order that the captains OF incoming
ships might thus be enabled to rectify
their thermometers to Greenwich time.

morning the exact hour is to be sent
out over the sea, so that all vessels fur.
