PLATING COMING BACK
BECOMING FASHION SURELY ON
THE EVE OF RETURN.
Prediction ls That Late Summer and
Fall styles VIII Show Revival OF
Graceful Idea OF Many
Seasons Ago.

Behold the sun.ray plating again
In the front place OF fashion and con.
vincing in it's softness and graceful
lines, and the countless opportunities
for draping n fllmy color over anoth-
err and obtaining the rainbow effects
that are always becoming.
Accordion plating Is coming with a
rush. 1t Ia here In a few advanced
models of clever makers; but the fash.
ion Is too beautiful to be ignored and
prediction is here made that the plait-
ed frock Is to be a feature of late sum-
mer and fall styles.
Can you imagine the grace Of n chif-
fon pannier edged by a deep band OF
embroidery? The fchu on this same
delectable gown Is accordion plated
and the waist defined by a wide cir
die of panne velvet. Plated ruffles
edge the sleeves and the bottom Of
the underskirt.
Silk in plain or changeable colors Ia
plated for entire costumes that are
adaptable for little runabout frocks or
for elaborate afternoon gowns. Here
is the fullness in decided form in skirt,
sleeves and bodice.
Little accordion plated jackets Of
soft chiffon and mousseline de sole are
now threatened to replace the coates
Of taffeta that have been such strong
features. Evening wraps and lovely
negligees are showing plating In eth.
er entire lengths or as rufles on the
berthas and sleeves.

ture OF the modes can more clearly
exemplify the vagarics than the plait.
ed dresses that are invading the realm
OF dress. But one thing must be re-
membered. Fullness there Is In all the
new frocks, but balloon skirts are not
the type to which we have resorted.
There Is still the straight line of the
figure to be adhered to, and It must
be admitted that the designers have
given fullness in the plating without
bulkiness, flowing lines without ugii.

shock.

Matter OF justice.

Where shall justice begin, with
those who have power or with those
who suffer wrong? II exact and Ideal
Justice were done, the weak would
make an effort to give to the strong
all that Is their due, and the strong
would try to put their affairs In order
SO that no Just III Of complaint
should exist anywhere. The unhappy
element in the relations Of the strong
