Atlantic City. September 23.-The

LISTEN, LADIES: TWO
CHEMISfS IN FUTURE
Bolster Slip Gown Will
SUpplant IiObbIe Skirt.

Chicago, September 23.-"The fash
ionably dressed woman hereafter must
wear two chemises-one underneath
and one on top This is the latest
dictum Of those who make clothes fer
women said Miss Mullen, Of New
York and Paris, an authority on fasil-
ion, who is preparing to lay the
matter before the banquet of the
dressmakers' convention on next Fri
day night.
Officially" the new idea is char
acterized as the Greek Chiffon" bat
a Partisan artist explained that this
appellation was used for the purpose
of making it go down easily, much rs
Ia branded peach once helped a does
of quinine. The thing is really Al
outside chemise and has been invented
to help out the top end of a contrap-
ton just as new, which is known in
the dressmal1ing shop as the bolster
slip" gown.
One Of the star demonstrators at
the convention this year is Mrs. Mid
dleton, who has spent sixteen years
studying how fashions are created in
Paris.
The outside chamises fasten on the
left shoulder" she said. "They ar,
not a part of the dress, not a cloak
or wrap Of any sort. They will be
worn next year"
THE bolster slip gown" which is
coming along soon, say the modistes,
is the definite outcome of the hob
bic skirt. Among real dressmakers,
it seems, the tobble skirt never was
taken seriously in itself, but 'creat9d
tendency and the bolster slip"
is the result.
To make a bolster slip gown use
material with Oriental colors and fol-
low the general lines of a stove. pipe.
One should never sit down in a
bolster slip" gown. There would be
a noise like something ripping, and it
would have to be sewed up again.
TIE outside chemise" is to be hung
over the BOLSTER slip gown.

ONE CAMP FIRE FOR
BLUE AND GRAY


The suggestion of the communicating
chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public that henceforth there should
be one annual national encampment
for all veterans of the civil war, I'M
ion or Confederate, is so we'll in keep
ing with the spirit of the times that
there should be no question of it's
adoption.
Next year will occur the semi-cen-
tennial of the outbreak of the war.
The men who fought its great battles
in blue or gray are now bent IN
years. How better can they celebrate
the anniversary and to what better
advantage can they put their renlarn-
ing brief span of life than by frater-
nizing with their old foes around the
same camp fire?
The old issues that drenched thu
land in blood are part of a great
past in which all have their share.
The country long ago decided to let
bygones be bygones. 1t is now the
opportunity of the veterans to put a
final seal of completeness on the new
union which knows no sectional lines.

Scrofula is a disease manifested
