SHOULDER SEAM LEFT OUT.
Paris Model Has the Sleeve Cut in
One with the Shoulder

A new cut of bodice shows no shoul-
der seam. The sleeve that tightly
molds the arms is cut In one with the
shoulder. The fitting is achieved by
the under part. The one-piece effect
wonderfully shapes the shoulder. 1
noted this new sleeve in a gown worn
by one of group of women OF deep
puce colored velvet the princess tunic
trailed beautifully limp in its slender
pointed tail. Instead OF buttoning In
the ordinary fashion at the back of the
arm, the sleeve closed on the inside
seam under a line of silk loops and
oval olives. tiny guimpe of tinted
tulle laid over gold net filled the small
round at the neck. Rich gold and sill
yer embroidery. mingled with pale
colored silk embroidery in relief
adorned the whole front of the cor
sage. Extremely chic was third
costume. Short and close, the skirt
was hemmed with band of skunk
fur.
The corsage, plainly cut to show no
seams, and loosely fitted, was held at
the normal waist line by a narrow
leather belt, the buckle covered with
leather. Epaulettes of coarse, leath-
er covered lace, framed a square
guimpe of tucked ecru null that
mounted into a high-curved choker.
From the edge of the square a mar
row tablier fell to the belt. Buttoned
on each with large cord loops it cum
ningly concealed the closing. with
the advent of the one-piece gown

Portable and untidy back closing is

gowns the closing is marked by line

1ime to Get White Goods.

The Little Collar Button.

Little, but oh my!" So annoying
when it is not fiat enough and jabs
into the back of ones neck all day;
and even more objectionable-for a
woman can endure good deal of
physical anguish-when it presses
against the outside linen Of ones
hand-embroidered collar and leaves an
indentation that rubs itself gray
against ones coat lining.
Just obviate the whole difficulty by
sewing to every shirtwaist collar band
at the center back small fiat linen
covered button that is of English man
ufacture. 1t is the fiattest button on
the market, and has metal middle

Not Afraid of a Ghost.

In village in England, month or
so ago. man came running into an
inn at nine o'clock at night and cried
out that there was a ghost in his back
yard. There were IA men in the inn,
and not one of them dared to go home
with the man and investigate. There
was a person who dared, however, and
that was the landlords daughter, girl
of IA. Some of the men followed her
at distance, and she went into the
yard and up to the ghost Tapping its
arms about, and discovered-what?
That 1t was no more nor less than a
mans white shirt Tapping on the
clothes line in a st. ing breeze. That's
about the way all ghosts turn out.
