SMART COATS WITHOUT CANVAS.
Fashion eliminates Weight from the
Skirt AZ Well a. the Coat.

Not content with eliminating weight
from the waist, the fashions demand
that the coat should be as light as
Shetland wool Canvas Ia now elm
I mated except for customers who de-
mand it, Whether or not this Is quite
pretty on the American figure is not
the point here: the thing is that the
coat has been considerably hghtened
by its omission.
The coat Is not cut in what Is known
as skeleton fdshion. 1t does not pre-
tend to fit the figure. The rule is to
cut it Oh perfect lines. leave out the
canvas. put in lambs wool for inter
lining, and adjust it to the wearer. III
her figure isn't just like the coat she
at least gives the semblanc" OF per-
lection. because the lines of the coat
may deceive anybody.
Lambs wool gives the greatest
warmth in the lightcst weight. and
this is the decided advantage for lis
usp as an inter-lining. Therefore prac-
tically this light weight costume rests
on the shoulders. which are better able
to stand weight than any Otner part Oh
the body The sleeves themselves have
all fullneSS eliminated in the coat and
are reduced TO a mere handful OF net
on the blouse. Therefore weight Is
taken of the arm.
One can easily see how resttul IS
the modern costume by summary
OF its advantages. Women have car
red around too much weight and had
too little freedom of muscles for their
comfort. Now they are rejoicing in
the Grecian freedom the modern cos
tune gives They say they will never
change. This they have vainly said
too often for it to sound sincere.

HATS ARE TO BE SMALLER.
That Seems to Be Millinery Forecast
at Present.

There is system among milliners
of making up brilliant spring hats in
January for the people who are going
south. These hats are supposed to
,be the forerunners of the coming
styles.
If they ave. and even the milliners
cannot prophesy surely so far ahead.
this season. the hats that are worn
as the warm weather comes in Will
be smaller than the enormous affairs
OF this winter.
They are still large enough. follow
ing the sailor shape, but the brlms roll
more especially at the right side.
Flowers in great quantities are used
as trimming, especially the huge
shaded roses. Touches of gold ribbon
or gauze are put in among these.
The new touch, however, is the
wide ribbon placed at the sides well
hack of the ears. They begin in
rosettes, are drawn loosely over the
brim and tie carelessly under the chin
in a wide bow and ends.
Black velvet ribbon Is often used,
but all the new colors in satin are
drawn upon for this purpose.

ing light that is most trying to the
eyes. besides being inartistic and IN
beautiful. The most pleasing light in
n room is one that is cheerful and
sunny and yet snhdued and restful.
This very desirable quality OF light IS
gained by the choice OF color in the
curtains.
In sunny room white curtain
may be used with good effect. provided
II is combined with figured or flow
cred chintz or similar material. for
this breaks up the all-white glare.
The materials for curtains vary In
color and texture as in price. There
are all grades. from the pretty flow
cred muslin. for the dainty bedroom
to the gorgeous and beautiful satin
brocades for the drawing room.
Madras is a favorite material for all
curtains. and is used to great extent
in summer cottages. Rajah and pongee
silks are particularly good for the liv.
ing and dining rooms, with sash drap-
cries of net. Linen Is also seen in
these rooms. and some very unusual
effects have been gained by using SIM
pie. inexpensive crash with stenciled
or embroidered borders. Impossible as
il may seem. these same borders have
been worked out on cheesecIoth. The
effect is wonderfully individual.
The cretonnes are a bewildering dis
play Of gay flowers and lovely colors.
There are many, beautiful designs.

colonial patterns. such as our grand
mothers used.

pretty curtains. especially for bed

MANY women who have been at loss
as TO hox TO hide the buttons on cor,

Take as many strips Of lace six
inches long as there are buttons on

Of each piece and make rosettcs OF
them. Fasten them TO the upper edge
Of each button hole. When the corse'

hidden BY the rosettes.
A si,H better way Of hiding the but

KENNEDY Is OPTIMISTIC.
Sees Bright Future for Football Team
at State University.

Lawrence, Kan, Aug. Coach
Kennedy seems quite optimistic over
the football prospects this fall He
saws more men will be out than ever
before to try for places on the Jay
hawker squad. The great increase
will be due to the spring football prac-
tice. during which two squads were
working full time.
For the success of this spring prac-
tice the coach says a large part of the
credit should be given to Carl Pleasant
who will captain the gridiron warriors
this fall. pleasant is a wonderfully
popular man, wonderfully So" and this
will help him greatly In his work with
the men this fall. 1t was his popular
ity with the men that got so many out
for spring practice.
Fall practice will begin as soon as
the rules of the conference permit,
which state that no football practice
shall be held until instruction begins
in the university. However, Coach
Kennedy will begin work at the ear
Hest possible moment
The coach for the freshman team
has not been decided upon. At pres
ent there are three applicants for the
position Pat Crowell, the captain
of last years team, may get the place.
Hicks, who will be remembered as the
captain of the team of 'O4, would like
to coach the freshies. The other APP
plicant is W. ]. Coleman of Lawrence,
one of the older K. U. football men.
Coach Kennedy says more attention
should be paid to the freshmen play
ers and it is probable that either he
or Mosse will do some work with
them.

over Nebraska, the Cornhuskers Will
