ADVANCE MODELS IN
GOWNS HAVE TRAINS
Some Hang Loose From Above
the Waist Line-More
Material in Gowns.

The new models for evening wear,
and even those for the afternoon. that
are coming over from the other side
Some OF these are cut in q point long
enough to lie in graceful curves be-
hind. end many hang Independent from
the skirt, as a rule from a point well
above the waist line. little idea bor-
rowed from the court dresses that have
been SO widely described on account of
the recent coronation festivities. There
Is always some one idea that governs
the new models, and this year the I'M
porters say that the London fetes are
responsible.
There is a good deal more material
In the long gowns OF this season than
was the case last winter. The close
fitting princess gown defining the
past. The waist line now is much
higher than II has been before. 1t Is
no longer what might be termed q
natural round waist" but Is q real
First Empire effect. There is gener-
ally some form Of belt. which often ends
In fiat bow behind, made simply Of
two loops and knot, and this bow
answers as the heading Of the back
drapery, which serves as the train.
Dancing Gowns.
A charming evening gown with a
train not too long for dancing is Of
white chiffon over pink. with a deep
border OF lace applications and a scroll
pattern Of black mousseline do sole, the
whole decorated with glass beads and
finished with a deep bugle fringe. The
back drapery Is gathered very full into
the black velvet belt, another feature
that makes the dress quite different
from those of last season, and there Is
an odd arrangement Of the sash. This
consists Of a single width Of wide black
velvet ribbon passing down the entire
length of the slight train and then
turning under 1t, lifting up the mater
ial to form slight fullness at the bot
tom Of the train.
The waist is so high and the decolle-
tage SO low that there is little material
required for the bodice. This shows a
drapery Of the pink and of the lace, and
the short sleeves are entirely OF lace.
These are novelty because they are
set in with concealed seams instead OF
being made in one with the bodice, as
has been usual for some time. They
are cut in two points, with tassels OF
the bugles ornamenting each point.

THE SL.IP-ON.
From Harper's Bazaar.

The "slip-on" dress, gown of white
serve. surah silk, or marquisette, is
one of the decided novelties Of the
summer season. 1t slips OH over the
head. and doesn't have to be hooked
or buttoned. One of the prettiest of
these frocks is made of plain white
surah silk, trimmed with white silk,
striped at one-inch intervals with navy
blue and green alternating. This
striped material forms the yoke ap-
piled beneath the low-cut round neck.
This yoke opens about three inches In
front and Is laced with a blue cord.
A fine net yoke. gathered on cord,
fills in the low-cut neck.
Both bodice and skirt are cut in one
piece, the fullness being adjusted by a
draw-string at the waist-line. A belt
of the material is worn over this shir-
ring. A twenty-inch fiouncu of the
striped material finishes the bottom of
the skirt.

THE PEASANT BODICE.
Harper's Bazaar.

The peasant bodice continues In pop
ularity although in modified form, with
much of the former simplicity and Sc
verify relieved by the application of
Introduction OF one-inch pleats or pin
tucks across the tops of the shoulders
and sleeves. Simulated jumped effects
applied over the peasant bodice are an
other variation. The waist-line Is still
raised slightly, and is usually finished
with narrow belt placed upon the
bodice. The long, straight tunic, reach
ing almost to the bottom Of the skirt, is
q smart cut. both for the one-piece
dress and the skirt of the tailored suit.

POINTS FOR CAMPERS.

Provisions should be of the dry va
riety. 4 Avoid canned goods. Navy
beans-or army, IL you have preju-
dice against the wet branch Of the SER
vice-or even dried Limas, are indis-
.pensable. Dried fruits are today pre-
pared so well that the prejudice
against them is removed. Dried peas
and rice are among the staples. Ham
and bacon are pre-eminently the meats
for camp. Perhaps you can pick ber-
ries and catch fish to vary the menu.
Ship your supplies to camp in water
proof canvas bags. Manufacturers fur
nish all sizes. Bedding and some
clothing may best be rolled In your
ping.

had discovered box of bonbons that
she bad forgotten, and we divided
them around. Aunt Selma asked for
the candied fruit and got it-quite q
third Of the 6ox. We gathered In the

Betty and Dal were helping him, and

with me on the stairs. Mr.. HARRISON
had Just unscrewed the telephone box
from the wall and was squirting into
It. when Bella came downstairs. 1t
was her first appearance, but as she
vas always late, nobody noticed.
When she stopped, just above us on
the stairs, however, we looked up,
and she was holding to the rail and
trembling perceptibly.
