Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

It L. entirely permissible to do any
thing one wishes with materials and
trimmings so long as the effect Is pleas
ing. No fabrics are so contrasting that
the skilled dressmaker may not be count
ed upon to evolve something out Of the
combination. and, one may add. that fact
alone Is sufficient to stamp the season as
an interesting and peculiar one
In the model sketched for today ecru
batiste and brick-colored marquisette are
used. The batiste skirt is gathered scan
tily at the top and given three two-inch
tucks at intervals Of four inches. Over
this is hung the marquisette In redingote
effect quite plain and with only just full
ness enough to cause it to fall gracefully
about the figure. The batiste skirt is
long and is turned up in a deep hem
which weights It. while the marqusette
is cut three inches shorter. A plated
ruffie of hemstitched batiste outlines the
neck and one side Of the front, and a
sash grdle. started from either side of
the front. is draped through a buckle

SARTORIAL HINTS.
By Elizabeth Lee.

Cool simple morning frocks are a ne
cess1ty now the warm weather is here
but elderly women are apt to find the
choice of color, material and design
much more difficult than do younger wom-
en-, to whom anything fresh and dainty is
becoming.
Still. there is on reason why somber col
ors and plain-looking designs should be
selected just because one has passed
youth. I can imagine very pretty
morning frock made from white percale
with a tiny black dot. trimmed with a
little fine pastel blue linen or chambray
and dainty pearl buttons. This would be
suitable for any woman over forty. or
in fact, under 1t, for that matter.
There might be a plain skirt closed Al

Death Penalty Law Should be
Repealed

L is very gratifying to see the strong
tendency to abolish capital punish
ment. A former contributor states q
great truth when he says, History
proves that the more barbarous and
savage a country is the more crimes
are punishable by death. ~ We
must abolish the death penalty COM
pletely before we can truly claim the
highest civilization. This is abso-
,utely true. The murderer is as much
our brother as the murdered. and it
is our duty to try to save his soul.
Our prisons should be refOrmatory
and educational institutions. 1t has
been said that no really sane man
ever commits suicide, and | doubt
very much whether any ore who is per-
iectly sane ever commits murder.
