P0NGEE SUITABLE
TRAVELLING COAT
"Coat Pongee" Comes with
Rough or Ribbed Finish.

With summer coming so near and the
question of the-heliday trips by steamer
or train under discussion the mind OF
the average woman turns toward the
problem of a practical and yet attrac-
tive top-coat to wear during the warm
weather.
For lightweight travelling coat moth.
ufacturers have introduced this season
coat pongee" that comes with a
rough or ribbed finish that is excellent
for the long coat for warm days. Heavy
coat linens, almost like rough worsteds
are also being shown this season for
top-coats, and are made up with collars
cuffs, AID revers of black satin, which
are really most effective on the linen
despite their apparent incongruity.
OF course, where a wooden coat is
wanted for wear on board ship or some
place where extra warmth is needed,
there are novelty worsteds, rough mix
lures. stripes cheviots, shepherd plaid
materials, the doubIe-faced polo coating,
and many other fabrics from which a
handsome and serviceable coat can be
made at home
a good pattern is necessary, however,
and care must be taken to make it as
tailor would pressing open the seems
nicely. stiffening lapels, collars and some
times the shoulders with canvas, and
generally making tailored garment.
which is far more difficult than making
a stright loose coat of soft material
like linen or pongee.

Wells SHIELD FACE
FROM ROUGH WINDS

There are some novel wells that have
found favor in the realm of fashion
which. though they have been worn 10
some extent during the past winter, are
still holding their popularity, and will
continue to do SO during the spring and
early summer months
They are made. of Shetland wool, woven
in wide-mesh patterns, and they neither
crush nor tear easily. They are also
shown in heavy silk and siIkaline and
are said to be a great protection both
to hat and the complexion in inclement
weather. ~
They are particularly well liked for
automobile use and there is no end TO
their durability. Black or white are the
most acceptable colors. although they
can be had In a.yariety of colors to match
the hat and gown.

STRIPED M0HAIR FOR
THE SUMMER SUIT

The vogue for stripes which is shown
in all the new silks of the spring has
even reached mohairs. and this popular
and serviceable fabric now comes in
many delicate shades with shadow or
we'll defined stripes on II.
The striped effect is really far more
artistic than the palmer material and
is being used for many summer suits
in place of the linens.
Striped flannel will be another ma
terial much used this summer. and made
UP in a emi-tailored effect with broad
black satin sailor collar and cuffs, it
makes a far smarter costume than the
linen and has an equal advantage as far
as it's ability to be laundered is con-
cerned.

The Sick Rose.

Once upon time there lived in the
Kings flower garden a beautiful rose.
II was such a frail, siCkly little rose,
but It was very beautiful to look at.
People from the royal palace passing
along the garden walk often paused to
gaze upon the pretty flower and they
would comment upon the pure white
color and the soft velvet-like petals.
Now. in spite of the fact that the
little rose did not feel at all well. she
Was cheerful the whole day long and
the other flowers marveled because of

NOVEL HATPINS FOR

The outcry against long hatpins has
been effective in materially reducing
the length of the pins, and the new ones
for spring are only half as long as those
worn in the winter.
The rhinestone pins have been SUPER
seded in popular favor by plain gold
mesh hearts. or by the new French pins
with heads of straw TO match the hats.

the ones for lingerie hats with heads

A NOTED architect recently said
that the time will come when Chi
cago and other cities will be beauti-
iul in the extreme by virtue of what
will be accomplished through a
highly trained aesthetic taste and
the application Of true scientific
methods, No dirty streets, no dust,
no smoke, no foul sights or smells,
no smms, nothing but beauty, order
and prosperity, That, indeed, is a
vision that everyone hopes may be
realized in every place, But while
waiting for it to materiaIize, it
would be just as well for everyone
TO keep his own premises clean. BY
so doing he will make present con-
ditions better and will help forward
the municipal millennium.
