TAFFETA FRlLL MOST USEFU;
Just the Right Thing to SuppIeme 1T
Hem Of Marquisette or
Chiffon Frock.

1t is on the hem of marquise tie
or chiffon frock that the brunt of the
wear comes, but now fashion permits
taffeta frill at this point, and the
skirt can trail without disturbing the
wearer's peace of mind. A lovely
chiffon gown is so finished, and to
countenance the scanty frill shirred
over cords at the hem there are two
cordings in the chiffon a little above
the knee and about two inches apart.
These pull in but do not hobble the
fulness Of the skirt. which is again
shirred over heavy cord at the waist
line. The frock, of course, is one
piece affair The surplice waist closes
with two gorgeous buttons and finishes
in narrow rolling collar of taffeta.
Over the taffeta collar Is second col
lar of filmy handkerchief linen adorned
with finest Madeira handwork, which
takes the shape of monks cowl at
the back. The taffeta again appears
In a quantity twisted bow and sash
ends which are attached at the waist
line.

Human Brotherhood and Universal
Peace viii Follow the Elimination
Of Ignorance.

Let us work for peace-worldwide
tranquility and universal brotherhood.
But We must remember that our only
hope of success lies in the education
Of the masses to plane of better
thinking Ignorance is the great
source of evil. From creation, through
the ages to the present time, we can
trace its effects. The battledelds, the
surviving ruins Of ancient splendor
and the weakened remnants of once
powerful nations prove it. All the ar
bitration treaties statesmen can make,
all the peace palaces wealth can build
will not prevent war, because they do
not remove causes that produce con-
flicts. So long as covetousness and
race prejudices dominate mems &C
tons. so long as self1shness overrules
their better nature, so long will war
and unnecessary suffering scourge hu.

Graduated Plating.

The introduction Of graduated plait-
ing removes the last hope that the
skinny hem will continue.
One Of the newest models in plated
dresses was seen recently, and it was
quite pleasing compensation, in
spite of the fascination of the slim
silhouette.
For the sunray skirt clings and
gives at the same time and all women
must agree in time that the more
graceful mode is the line which gradu-
ally widens, rather than that which
decreases at the foot.
The woman of ancient Greece could
not have maintained her graceful gait
in hobble, although in ancient Egypt
there was some such style. We are
never content and even fashion,
ever-changing wheel does not re:o;7e
quickly enough to please US all, and
so We shall go on from one generation
to another.

New York and It's Millinery.

Whatever may be said about the
dresses, which are for the most part
very freakish and unbecoming, there
is little or no adverse criticism about
the hats. which are really lovely and
Of great diversity Of shapes and color.
The demand at present is for the close
fitting hat, the durbar turban and
tiny pokes, but unquestionably large,
rather fiat hats will be worn for mid
summer wear. Many of these are
yelled with printed chiffon, net and
lace, and are very soft and dainty, al
though they have not the fluffiness
characteristic of the lingerie bebe hat.
