TRIUMPH Oh ART
New Gown the Mas-
terPf@ee Of the Fore
most PaFfsfaDe

Zimmerman, who was the creator Of
the transformation gown of last win
ter, is again to the fore with a similar
costume for summer, which is, if any
thing, more fascinating than the first.
1t is practical. too. and just the thing
for afternoon visits, teas or any func-
ton WHARF a pretty toilet is desired,
and yet wrap is necessity. 1t can
be made in any material that is soft
and will hang in graceful folds, such
as charmeuse, liberty satin, crepe de
chine, or toile de ninon, than which
nothing is more delightful to wear
The model gown was of the latter,
and in a color that is neither rose or
mauve. 1t was cut like a princess
robe. close fitting about the hips, and
with s->me fulness around the bottom
Here IL was finished with heavy cords
OF the same material, which gave
weight to the skirt and took away the
absolutely plain look. The lower part
of the tightly fitted sleeves was of dull
silver lace and so was the short high
yoke A little shoulder cape was fas-
tened in front with an arrangement of
cords, tassels and loops. An inch
wide trimming of loops and tassels to
match edged the cape, and also the
long sash ends which hung down over
the skirt in the back. This sash was
attached to the waist by some fine
shirrings. giving the long line that is
now the fashion.
When worn indoors 1t is charming
gown, simple in style and with moth
ing about it to suggest that it might
serve two purposes. When, however,
it is to be worn out of doors the little
cape suddenly becomes a wrap suf-
ficiently ample to afford protection,
and as coquettish as possible. 1t is
all done by simply taking the sash
ends and bringing them around over
the arms and to the waist in front.
Here they are knotted and the ends
finished with balls, and cords are an
additional trimming. In the back the
wrap extends to the waist, where it is
held in place by shirring.
1t is all cleverly contrived, for the
wrap can be adjusted in a moment
and without the slightest difficulty.
There is no striving to see If. ones
garment is straight in the back, for it
cannot possibly be anything else The
hooks which fasten it in front are of
the kind that work themselves and
every fold falls into place with only
one or two slight movements of the
fingers. The astonishing part of the
gown also is that there is not one I'M
necessary inch of material in it, nor a
bit of fulness that could apparently be
dispensed with.

PAINT EVERY YEAR.
No One Wants to Do 1t, But Some
Paint Will Wear Mo Longer.

When you have a job of painting
done you don't expect to have it done
over again very soon. But to make
q lasting job, several things must be
taken into consideration-the prope
time to paint-the condition of the sur
face-the kind of materials to use, etc.
ALI these matters are fully covered in
the specifications which can be had free
by writing National Lead Company,
1909 Trinity Building, New York,
and asking for Houseowner's Paint
ing Outfit No. 40. The outfit also in
cludes a book of color schemes for
both interior and exterior painting,
and a simple instrument for detecting
adulteration in the paint materials.
The outfit will solve many painting
problems for every HORSEPOWER.
Meantime while buying paint see that
every white lead key bears the famous
Dutch Boy Painter trademark, which
is an absolute guarantee of purity and
quality. If your paint dealer cannot
supply you National Lead Company
will see that some one else will.

SCARF Is LIKED
NaDy Wear Tbem So
Wide as to Re
s@n7bI@ a NaDtg@

There is no gainsaying the pOpu-
larity of the scarf. With both day
and evening costumes it is a promi-
nent feature, and there are many
new details of its use which point to
an even more extended vogue.
In the first place there is great va
riety- Scarfs are now shown in many
different materials-in nets, embroid-
cred and plain, In chiffon, crepe, satin.
cashmere de sole and lace. They are
braided, embroidered, beaded. SPAN
gled, printed in design and orna-
mented with hammered metal work.
Not only do they how increasing
length and ornameu on but increas-
ing width also, says, the Dry Goods
Economist, some of them being SO
wide as to assume almost the form
of a mantle.
With day dress the scarf often
matches the hat, and with evening
costume may be of the same material
as the dress. Both these points are
distinctly new and are indicative of
a far reaching vogue.
Scarfs which match the dresses are
made of chiffon, satin and cashmere
de sole. A notable instance of match
ing scarf with evening costume was
seen In deDutante'S toilet Oh pale
blue chiffon, with woven border of
broad satin stripes. This border
formed the trimming and the wrap or
scarf was formed of a full width of
the chiffon, showing the border on
either side draped in bedouin cape
style and worn care1essly over the
shoulders throughout the evening
Many of the new scarfs are fringe
trimmed Very beautiful are those
made of the coarse mesh nets of both
silk and metal trimmed with heavy
fringes made from lacet braid. Many
of the scarfs are draped in the bedouin
cape style at the back, the point being
weighted with a tassel. This drapery
gives a more graceful outline to the
scarf when worn and makes it more
becoming.
Other novelty forms show the scarf
shirred or plated in the center back.
where it is held in shape by a large
ornament of rich embroidery. The in
creased favor shown the hammered
metal scarf is very apparent. Entire
evening mantles and coats are formed
of these set together in artistic de-
sign.

New Banks Are Eligible.

Attorney General Jackson has rem
dered two opinions on the bank guar
anty law of great Importance to state
bankers who propose to participate in
the guaranty fund. One was to the eff
feet that all new banks organized up
until the law was published on March
10 could participate in the fund from
the very start. The other ruling was
in regard to the examinations. The at
torney general ruled that the bank ex-
aminers could begin examining at
once for the guaranty fund; that the
law was in effect now, although it
doesn't become operative as to the
guaranty feature until June 80.
