TUllE AND NET
ARE MUCH USED

The makers Of tulle and net should be
busy this season because women have
taken up the twin fabrics with an en-
thus SIN never shown to them before.
The looms have turned out rather
amazing variety of net that washes. of
tulle that looks like net, of net that is
fine enough to be substituted for tulle
and of tulle that looks IS perisha BILE as
a soap bubble and wears for many
day.
White and black have been augment
ed by all the fashionable colors known
to the dyers. and also in the fiat pri-
mary colors beloved of the cubistS. Such
a wide range of tones has given wom-
en- chance to substitute net and tulle
for all the things for which chiffon has
been used.
1t is true that tulle loses its fresh
ness somewhat sooner than chiffon
does, blu. it has stronger quality in
the beginning and is more novel. 1t
first came into fashion several months
ago for blOuSes. and although women
were apt to laugh at the idea OF wear
ing anything SO exceedingly sheer
this fabric under coat suits. the first
warm weather made every woman re-
consider her decision concerning it.
which was made when the first net
garments appeared on a winter day.
Every one by this time knows the
success Of such blouses: they are sold
in the most exclusive shops as well as
in the cheaper ones ard they are the
first choice today of any woman who
is looking for comfortable and
fashionable waist. For the net blouse is
both.
Not only are blouses worn made of
these fabrics which are so closely akin
that they should be called one, but
suimpes and neck ruffs and Robes
pierre collars have all been taken UP
and given new life because of new

STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
The Strange Voice.
BY Thornton w. Burgess.
Copyright. 1919, by J. G. IJoydo

Listen 1t was Jimmy skunk speak
ing He had just met Peter Rabbit half
way down the Crooked Little Path just
where the moonlight was brightest. But
he did not need to tell Peter to listen
Peter was MISUNDERSTANDING with all his
might. He was sitting up very straight
and his long ears We're turned in the
direction Of the strange sound Just then
IT came again. a sound such as neither
Peter Rabbit nor Jimmy Skunk had ever
heard before. Peters teeth began to
chatter.
" ha-"ha what is it, he whispered.
i don't know unless it is Hooty the
Owl gone crazy replied Jimmy
No. said Peter, 1t isn't Hooty the
Owl. Hooty never could make such a
noise as that
Maybe its Dippy the Loon. I've heard
nun on me Big River and he sounds just
No, said Peter. looking behind him
nervously No. ii isn't Dippy the Loon
for Dippy never leaves the water and
that voice came from the Green Meadows.
l wouldn't be surprised Peter didn't
finish. for Just then the strange voice
sounded again. and it was nearer than
before. Never had the Green Meadows
or the Green Forest heard anything like
H. IT sounded something like Hooty the
Owl and Dippy the Loon and a little
yelpng dog all together. and there was
something in the sound that made little
cold chills run UP and down Peter Rab-
bits backbone. He crept little closer
TO Jimmy Skunk.
II believe it is Farmer Browns boy
and some of his friends laughing and
shouting together. said Jimmy.
No. it isn't. Farmer Browns boy and
his friends can make some dreadful
noises. but nothing so dreadful as that
It makes me afraid. Jimmy Skunk said
Peter.
Pooh. You're afraid Of your own
shadow. replied Jimmy skunk who isn't
much afraid of anything. Lets go down
there and find out what it is Peter s
big eyes grew rounder than ever with
fright at the very thought. "D-ddon't
you think OF such thing. Jimmy Skunk.
D-d-dont y-y-you think of such a thing."
he chartered. II know it's something
terrible. Oh dear, l wish l was safe at
home in the dear old briar patch.
Again sounded the strange voice or was
il voices. 1t seemed sometimes as il
there were two or three together. Then
again it sounded like only one. Each
time Peter Rabbit crept little closer to
Jimmy Skunk. Pretty soon even Jimmy
began to feel little uneasy.
I'm going home said he. suddenly.
II want to- but l don't dare to-. said
Peter. shaking all over with fright.

CAMPING AT HOME.

Some time ago there was an account in
the papers Of an outing INDUCED in bv
some millionaires who took an unexpect-
ed trip to their summer house at New
port when it was closed. They took with
them several guests and a butler The
guests and the host broiled chops and
cooked other easily prepared food. and
the butler. so said the papers. played the
piano in the evening SO that the others
could dance. Altogether. the trip was
considered very amusing and refreshing.
There is an idea in this outing for many
weeks of the long and. in cities. tedious
summer Why not camp out in your own
house: The only reason it seems diff
cult to keep the house up through the
warm weather is because you try to keep
little entertaining of formal sort goes
on in the summer it is really unnecessary
to keep the house in winter trim
Try taking down all the curtains and
taking up all the carpets. Spread light
rugs instead. and il you need curtains for
protection make them Of swiss or fishnet
-fishnet is perhaps more durable. al
though swiss is daintier. Put linen covers
on the chairs. unless they are wicker: or,
if possible. put the heavier chairs away
and replace them with wicker and wooden
chairs. Keep growing or cut flowers
about the room. where they will sway in
the lightest breezes and suggest cool
ness and leave all the windows open all
the time. Even a formal. rather dark
city house is cool-seeming and inviting if
il is dressed i'll summer fashion.

Wells Are Denounced as
Dangerous BY Doctor

these silly fashions-they are really
sillier follies-are not only running
the eyes of our women, but impair
ing their bodily health in the bargain.
There is always a lowered tone to the
system when the eyes are seriously ar
fected; and modern wells do affect
them. one step further-thus we get
in this lowered tone much of woman's
latter-day nervousness.
To-d day the veil stands as nothing
more than an added vanity to vanity S
already ample wardrobe!
1t isn't worn to protect the lady's
face at all. 1t is frankly donned as
one more mark Of attraction; that is
all. Possibly it is worn to hide bad
complexion, not to protect it.
Causes Eye Strain.
No wonder we have so many neu-
rasthenics among our well-to-do
women
Because of the heavy lines, and
more particularly because of the
heavier dots in most of the wells they
wear, the light is not uniformly dis
tributed to all parts of the retina.
Does milady know that? No!
The result, of course. is that while
some parts of the retina are normal
ly impinged by the light rays, those
parts directly back of the dots and
dashes in the veil receive no light at
all, or only a little at the most. So
we promptly get an overstraining of
some parts of the delicate, most SEN
sitive retina and a weakening of other
parts.
1T protects the skin of the face
from dust and germs."
Oh, fallacy of fallacies! Actually a
soda water and stronger things
veil does exactly the opposite. The
mesh catches and hold tight to all
aust and bacteria. And every time
the veil shifts this dirt is rubbed into
the skin or into the veil, ready for
the next wearing And is any COM
ment necessary when we know that
women cough, sneeZe and kiss
through them without uncovering
their mouths?
A veil is a dirty thing

"Eusenlcs" and Mother and Child"
If the women of the twentieth cen
fury do not soon curtail their absurd,
ugly, dangerous practice of swathing
their faces in veils-veils dotted and
spotted, wells besplotched and bedi-
zened-the better part of the race in
the twenty-first century will be a lot
Of near-sighted, watery eyed, pur-
blind, squirting men, women and chill
dren.
This is not speaking in superlatives
1t is matter of cold, calm, physio-
logical fact. The truth is not hard
to demonstrate; the physical explana-
ton is very simple indeed
The wells of to-day if persisted in
will eventually ruin the eyes of the
women who wear them. And these
weakened, semi useless eyes are
bound to be transmitted to succeed
ing generations, both men and wom-
en-. The time has come now to call
halt. Plain wells are bad enough:
wells with huge polka dots, wells with
stars and Crescents, for all the world
like the armament in miniature; wells
with bars and grill work, wells bris-
Ting with rhomboids and polygons,
circles and cones, have got to go.
Or else our eyes will.

is slow to jump at conclusions. But

LONDON, July 12.-The evening
gowns the debutantes are wearing
are particularly attractive to the
fascinated man. For example. Miss
Iovial Hay, daughter of Lady Hay
equally charming in any frock, is
having two very beautiful gowns
made. One of periwinkle blue char
meuse. the skirt-ring is split up on
one side and draped over a petticoat
of fiesh-p pink chiffon covered with a
light yelling in periwinkle blue.
The little corsage IS of fine cob
web gold lace over the palest flesh
pink foundation, yelled with chiffon,
and this chiffon passes over the
shoulders and forms tiny sleeves.
over It again is drawn yelling Of
periwinkle blue knotted on the Shout
der and cut with very big armholes,
while the belt is made OF buttercup
yellow broche, headed with a fold Of
Oriental brocade in deep cobalt blue
embossed with gold, a huge bunch
of shaded "eveque" purple and wine
colored anemones being tucked into

Another lovely evening gown is of
pink chiffon, like the inner lining OF
a shell, the skirt is incrusted with
bands OF cream lace and bouillonees
chiffon and is threaded at the hem
with pale blue ribbon. while 1t is
yelled with an overdress of powder
blue chiffon edged with a sparkling
border of CRYSTALS.
