SMAsAEs HER IDOL

For Miss Pretz the squat little fig

disappointment that he has been ban
ished from her home. She has
smashed the last of the idols she
formerly had priced. She turns aside
from the shop widows to avoid see

"Billikin"-and all because group
of men have, she believes, deprived
her of the profits which legally should
be hers. Not "Billikin" is allowed

BLoUSEs OF DRESDEN SILK
Many New and Effective Designs
Have Been Introduced by the
Costumers.

Persian silk is artfully utilized by
many blouse makers for the founda-
ton over which dark chiffon falls.
The lovely design of this silk is elu.
sive in it's coloring, and its uncer-
tainty adds charm which is always
striven for by those who shun fragrant
or conspicuous tones.
One underblouse of Persian silk In
which green and mauve are yelled
with a silver light is especially beau
tiful under a black chiffon bolero.
This is braided with black soutache
and falls to the top of folded girdle
of silk. Long silk sleeves are draped
at the top with chiffon, and emerald
buttons ornament the front and back
of the girdle and the outer line of the
sleeves. Tiny black satin loops and
a small cravat finish this blouse.
Persian silks are rising in favor be-
cause of their two-colored effects. max.

CHANGER"
81 certainly would"
Mrs. Pretz says her daughter has
broken the last of the "Billikins" that
stood on the family mantelpiece.
''She has dismissed the whole thing
from her life," the mother said. She
worried about 1t long time and her
father tried to make the Chicago peo-
pie pay her for what they had pre-.
empted. There is chance yet that
she may get what she deserves. I
can't talk about that now, however.
She still owns the patent She is reti-
cent and refrains from going into
court to enforce her rights"
But listen: One of these fine days
the creator of 'Billikin" will give the
changeful public another idol, some
thing to touch every human being
struggling along toward some goal.
She won't tell what it Is. One thing
is certain. when Miss Pretz has an
other novelty 1t will take a mighty
careful lawyer to get her signature to
any paper. The next contract offered
her, she says. will go with her on a
long vacation to be studied. After
which the bar association will be
asked to pass upon 1t.

More attention has been given to
children's millinery within the past
three years than ever before. The re-
fult is a greater number of designs
to choose from. This branch of the
Eilliner's art was neglected because it
was not profitable to the milliner. But
now the manufacturers of hats have
begun to produce numbers of pretty
and inexpensive shapes. which may
be quickly trimmed. and the milliner
has been able to show a variety of
models at price which her patrons
will consider.

mushroom shapes, with dropping brim
and full, soft crowns. Two of these
pretty and childish models are shown

crown of velvet is very cleverly mount
ed to the brim. Six box plaits laid at
equally distant intervals are slashed
SO that collar of soft ribbon is run
through them and is finished in rib
bon bow at the left side, toward the
bnck. The same ribbon is plated in a
rufile about the brim. Little original
touches, such as there are In trim

childrens millinery than any amount
