IN GRAY ATTIRE.

A lovely little gray wolfe was seen in
a shop recently that was one of the
best examples of model of this sort.
Its beauty was it's extreme simplicity.
The empire line above the waist line
was acccntuatCd by bands of gray taft
feta, constituting the sole trimming
The gown fell in considerable fullness
below the shaped waist line. 1t had
slight sweep all about, but could have
been shorter il desired There was a
turnover collar at the neck, which was
low, to be worn over a lace stock.
There is going to be great demand
for these plain one piece dresses for
general wear, just as the more clabo-
rate empire gown will be the proper
one for evening wear. And this fact
will create field for odd wraps of all
sorts.

LARGE PuFFs OUT OF STYLE.

1t is no longer considered fashion

fUre. 1t makes no difference whether
they are ones own or bought and APP
piled. They are out of style.

couture of three large puffs at the
back of the head, running to the nape
of the neck, should learn to do her hair
otherwise.

Y. CAN tell you one characterization

whole system of education, both for
girls and for boys, is on a wrong basis.
The high school under the influence of
woman teachers does not teach the boy
to be a man. 1t does not put virile in
fuences in his life at the time when
he needs them. 1t does not fit him to
battle with the world successfully. He
does not need poetry or history or
botany so much as he needs a know1-
edge of a useful trade, of men and of
life
It's the same with a girl. She does
not need higher mathematics or sci
ences, but she does want knowledge
that will fit her to be a happy, gra-
cious member of society. Education
should be based strictly on sex and
future environment to be any good at
all, and 1 hope by writing this 1 will
bring the subject to the attention of
good many mothers among my readers.
They need to have their eyes opened.
Two Suits Enough.
The dress and coat suit is one of the
greatest inventions of the age 1t can
be made either elaborate or otherwise,
but it is always useful. With two suits
of this description a woman can go
through the winter very comfortably

of deep red cloth. The dress will be
smart if it is made on the semiprincess
model, fastening down the left side of
the front with a long row of black but
tons. The sleeves are best of tucked
cloth, while the low cut yoke and talbot
are soft and pretty made of net. This
net yoke can be made on guimpe
foundation in order that it may be
changed often and kept immaculate. OF

MAY FRowN ON HUGE cHIcNoNs

Fashion is born in Paris" and
when attempts are made at trans
planting it can't always stand the
change. OF the fashion of piling on
false hair a woman said recently that
the time was long since past when
even a queen could lead womankind to
make itself ridiculous. 1t was Queen
Maria Theresa who introduced the
enormous headdresses, simply because
she was dumpy and wished to look
royalty diSnified. For the same reason
she wore high heeled shoes. But, after
all. what was the use of piling up her
hair with cushions when every other
woman at court proceeded to follow
her example. and Maria Theresa there
by looked as insignificant as before?

presents itself or becomingnes de-
mands. There must be no suggestion
of stiffness about the puffs If they
would pass muster with the fashion
able woman. When nature has not
blessed one with curly hair the straight
locks are waved ever so little in large
fluctuations, with never a hint of the
iron Under the Psyche knot the hair
is pulled out slightly to give a small
pulled appearance, but the line of the
hair at the nape of the neck must be
preserved and the teasing locks"
caught up with a barette. Different
arrangements of the evening coiffure
are shown in the illustrations. Puffs
figure prominently in one of the
models, with a ribbon bow stuck in
carelessly among them. And another
cut exploits the very low dressing help
ed out with fluffy curls, and still an
other more elaborate arrangement of
puffs has ribbon wound in and out
among the waved tresses. A half
wreath of flowers finishes the couture
at one side. There is nothing more
fetching than the ST. Cecilia effect as
shown in one of the illustrations, but
this very trying style absolutely de-
mands a purely Greek cast of features.
The filet adds the Hellenic touch.
The Correct Angle For the Psyche.
The angle in smart hairdressing this
season ranks with the line in the
dressmaking world and is the crux of
the coiffure situation. The Frenchwo-
man is more concerned about the mod
ishness of her hairdressing than she is
with the fact of it's becomingness, but
the Americana has her coiffure built
to suit her facial type. She has de-
cided that the present angle of the
knot-just below the crown of the head,
yet not in the neck-iS just her style.
Artists say that this position is the
only truly becoming one for the
American woman"

10 REMODEL OLD sLEEvEs

Girls who are filled with the eco
nomical idea of making over the
sleeves of last years gowns cannot do
better than to adopt the type of sleeve
which is merely a succession of wide
folds extending from shoulder to wrist
and fitting the arm almost tightly, for
by so doing many small pieces of ma
terial may be employed that otherwise
would be useless.

as the case may be. for an entire

pIREcToIRE ADVANTAGES.

One laudable accomplishment must
be set down to the credit of the direc-
toire dress-it has killed the vogue for
tight lacing. From this is to be argued
no lapse into slovenliness. The figure
must be trained to maintain a per-
lection of trimness if the gown that
does not define the wasp waist is to
look beautiful That is why suits Of
maillot are worn and why the princess
skirt and camisole all in one has es-
tabIished a reputation for elegance
that will not pass away from it for
some little time at any rate.
What the aim after a classical effect
has brought about is the manifestation
of a well modelled figure. There are
no exaggerations permitted. The
statuary of the ancient Greeks has
brought home to the instincts of the
modern drcssmalSer the true beauty
that has it's foundation in naturalism;
hence the draped effects that are now
so intensely admired.
Women who permit their figures to
be swathed in delicately thin and sup
pie materials have gone far on the
road toward the manifestation of true
beauty, but we may be sure that they
would not allow such liberties to be
taken with their appearance if their
figures were not elegant enough to
support the distinctly trying ordeal.

NEW MATERIALS FOR euIMPEs.

NEW MATERIALS FOR GUIMPES.
Instead of lace and mesh net there
will be a good deal of colored filet net
used stamped in the new way. 1t is
not unlike the flower net used for sum-
mer frocks and blouses several years
ago, although the mesh is many times
thicker and more open.
The ecru surface is covered with
flowers in all the new tones, some
small, some large. This material
makes yokes and long wrinl1led sleeves
for the handsomest kind of indoor
evening gowns.

 The wreck was a most complete one, though the loss of life was re- markedly small. Indeed that feature of it is the most marvellous. There were but three or four fatalities though several others were very badly hurt and many were slightly injured. Beside the locomotive and tender, there were three cars smashed almost to complete wreckage, and in one of them at least there were many people and several in each of the other two.
 No blame is attached to any person. A burned bridge was the cause, but it was merely charred and weakened, so the engineer could not have seen it until he was almost on it. There seemed to be a series of three shocks

They are using the flag for decorative pur poses just as it is intended the flag shall be used. If anybody thinks to the contrary he is invited to cause their arrest.
 The flag law reads as follows:
 Tt shall be unlawful for any per son. firm. or corporation to deface or in any other way show disrespect to the American flag. or to make. dis play, or exhibit for any purpose an American flag. or a pictorial represen- tation of the same, upon which there is printed or written any word or words for advertising or commercial purposes"

THt LAW AND THE
 AMERICAN C0LORS
Misguided and Evil Disposed Patriots Threaten Goldberg Bros. By Anony- nous Telephone Messages.

Some people~are loaded up to the muzZle with patriotism at the most unseemly times and give evidence of it in a way that lends color to the theory that in the real try-out they might be found wanting. Last night some one telephoned Aaron Goldberg that the firm of Goldberg Brothers was violating the law and desecrating the United States flag by exhibiting it in their show window at the corner of Washington and First streets. MT. Goldberg was embarrassed and replied that he would investigate and if that were true he would have the situation corrested at once.
 Yesterday he told the employees of the store that as Phoenix was going to celebrate the fourth the firm did not want to be behind in it's recogni- tion of the national anniversary. par ticularly as Dave Goldberg is chair man of the 4th of July committee. and directed them to begin the decoration of the windows and store and have everything in readiness by Saturday morning. In carving out these in- structions the clerks hung a flag in the show window. Fearing that they might have ignorantly or inadvertent- ly hung a sign across the flag or done something that could be construed as a dissertation he walked down and looked the situation over. He found nothing that seemed irregular to him and went home.
 About the time he got back he re- ceived d telephone message similar to the first one and little later another, apprising him that if he did not take the flag out of the window, a party of patriots was preparing to smash the glass. In all these messages MT. Goldberg sought to learn the name of the man who was talking. but without result The speaker refused to reveal hic identity
