SHEPHERDS PLAID
THE SEASONS FAVORITE
SKIRTS OF PLAID COATS FAVORED FASHION
YEAR-coLLARs FicHUs REQUEST

Even the tyro at needlework can make
some of the pretty things for herself.
Costumes for afternoon wear will,
this season, divide themselves into two
classes, those which are. worn with a
short coat and those which prove suf-
ficieDt unto themselves without an ex-
ira wrap. Many women vigorously OBJ
ject to departing from classic models
and prefer the simple tailored costume,
which for elegance and style depends
upon the perfect line and impeccable
workmanship. In this the graceful
lines OF the figure are shown to best
advantage, while the flowing robe, no
matter how perfect in material and
design, quite mars the beautiful silhou-
cite. The so-called one-piece gown is
distinguished by the transparency of
the corsage, which is smartest when
the upper section, sheer as that of
the evening gown, is used. Mousse
line de sole and shadow lace may form
an undermining, while fine embroidery
is used to accent the beautiful curves
of the shoulders. The upper edge of
the skirt or the girdle is carried to the
top Of the corset cover.
1t is, by the way, just this adherence
to the small details of fashion which
gives the smart finish to ones clothes.
For either morning or afternoon
wear the frock of wash material re-
mains in favor notwithstanding the
popularity of other fabrics. An attrac-
tive frock, both in material and de-
sign, Is seen in this illustration. 1t
was developed in handkerchief linen.
The bodice is hand-embroidered in
dainty fashion. and the sleeves and
skirt are trimmed with bands of open
meshed insertion. A girdle of blue
messaline is draped about the high
waist and fashioned into a large bow
at the left-front. The calculated sim.
plicity of this garment heightens its
charm. This simplicity is the one
feature most sought for in dresses that
are being prepared for the summer
resorts; especially for the seashore
where the susceptibility of mousselines
and chiffons to dampness render them
almost taboo. Embroidered frocks OF

rected. Not only do these materials
make handsome coat suits: they are
equally effective when made into
frocks.
Nothing could be more stylish than
the frock in the first Illustration. 1t
was developed in stripe gray and white
agaric. Bodice and sleeves are fash.
Toned in one, and the skirt is distin-
guished by slender lines from waist to
hem. Hand-embroidered collar and
cuffs Of handkerchief linen are an
alluring addition to the frock. These
accessories have lately had a remark
able renaissance. They give a de-
lightful appearance of softness to both
dresses and suits. Sometimes only
the collar is used, or an attractive
fiounce of lace, either plain or pleated,
sounds the necessary note of individ-
uality.
The collars worn this summer are
much more attractive and. elaborate
than those of former years. They come
in many shapes and cuts, both round
and square, and frequently end in a
pleating or the long ruffie which is
now so popular Others are similar in
shape to the fichu. Not only are they
generally becoming, but they also
serve a useful purpose, that of pro
lection to the waist underneath. With
an open-neck or collarloss blouse, they
are almost necessary to obviate the
hard and unbecoming line of the coat
collar. Women OF limited means are
apt to consider neckwear an extrava
gance. This season, at least, it has
become an economy, for waists thai
are passe may be brought smartly up
to-date at little expense by the add
ton of collar. frill, jabot or fichu

sTENoGRAPHER SAYS
EMPLOYER KISSED HER

Pittsburg, Pa, May 23.-Mrs. H.
Vessels, who was Alice Lang, a steo-
grapher in the office Of Superintendent
of Schools, Sylvanus L. Heeter, yester-
day, on the witness stand before the
committe of citizens named to probe
rumors rejecting of Heeter, told her
story of the educators alleged mis-
conduct.
She said the superintendent had be-
gun his attentions by patting her on
the shoulder and playfully kicking
her feet beneath her desk, and later
had forcibly kissed her. She said she
did not resign at once because her
salary was needed at home and she
feared If she complained to the board
of education, her story would be con.
tradicted.
A week after the kiss she said she
revolted against working at night and
the superintendent discharged her.
Superintendent Heeter and his counsel
sat through the recital, and Mrs. Wes-
sells was subjected to cross-examina-
ton during which she became con-
fused as to dates.

New York, May 23.-The ebb and
flow of fashions, in style features and
color combinations, is an interesting
phenomenon. 1t was thought some
seasons ago that shepherds plaid had
run the full gamut of popularity, and
had been assigned for good and all
place with the "by-gones." But not
TO- 1t is again with US, and in greater
favor than ever before. 1t came with
the first breath of spring, and promises
to linger on through summer and fall.
1t has proved to be one of the fabrics
which grows in our liking the longer
we have it with us. Shepherds plaid
confronts us this season at every turn
and in every conceivable shape; as
suits, as waists, as separate skirts for
wear with black jackets having cuta-
way or rounded fronts These suits
have a distinction and an appeal diff.
ficult to Withstand, but the woman who
may have but one suit should not yield
too easily to it's seductions. 1t might
be better for her to choose fashion
less likely to be initiated.
Agaric, eponge and ratine are ap
proved fabrics and have the advan
tage of being really new, not resur

one formed by stitching the wide
fichu of the shoulders underneath the
arm. In the newest waists the arm
holes are very deep, and much fulness
appears in the back and about the
underarm. When the arms are ex-
tended. the appearance of waist and
sleeves is that of an inflated balloon.
But even in this exaggeration there is
hope, for the pendulum of fashion as
of time, may swing out only so far
before it must swing abck The
climax of the bizzare must now be
reached, as already narrow shoulder
lines and close-fitting armholes are
predicted by fashion critics.

Many Delicious Connections May Be
Prepared for the Late or SUM-

formal Sunday night supper. Dreamed
salmon is delicious and is easy to pre-
pare in chatting dish. Use the hot
water pan first, brown a little butter
and sprinkle crumbed bread into it,
turning over until crisp. Set these
crisped crumbs aside and proceed,
with the blazer pan, to make a sim
pie bechamel or cream sauce, first
melting tablespoon of butter, stir
ring in a tablespoon of flour and add
ing a scant cup of milk. Season this
fairly-thick white sauce with salt, pep
per and a few drops of lemon juice.
Stir in a can of salmon and when
steaming hot and ready to serve, shake
over the top the Drowned crumbs The
creamed salmon may be served with
out the bread crumbs, but they add an
appetizing flavor, suggestive OF the
Drowned crust over hot dish pre-
pared in the oven.
