DAY OF THE DOUBLE SKIRT
Vogue That Has Much to Recommend
It Seems to Be Decidedly
on the Increase.

The vogue of the double skirt seems
to be increasing. The under one, gen.
orally Of supple satin. Is often draped
and drawn in around the ankles. Over
this contrasting material is draped
or pleated. In the latter case 1t
might pass for an elongated tunic,
especially as 1t is often OF tareta.
The fancy for these double skirts
finds better medium of expression
in the sheer summer materials.
Through the upper one. which Is
transparent, one sees the colored gar.
niture Of the under one and the effect
is very soft and pretty.
Ribbons are used for this trimming

waists was introduced about a year

now reached the bargain counter

HE CARRIED AN UMBRELLA

A dear old lady who was very "sot"
In her prejudices was asked Just why
she didn't like a certain man. She had
no particular reason that she could
think of at the instant, but she had been
SO emphatic In her expression OF dis.
like that she knew she would have 10

moment she happened to glance out O,
the window and saw him passing by
He carried a neatly rolled umbrella
though it hardly threatened rain.
Quick as fash she answered her
questioner. He carries an umbrella
whether it's raining or not-he is
'softie'"
But" said her friend, also looking
out of the window, here comes your
son William, and he is carrying an UNI
brella."
This did not stump the old lady. But
that's another matter-I don't like him
anyhow-and besides, it all depends on
who carries the umbrella" she replied
triumphantly.
That is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome and
refreshing beverage Coca-Cola. They
have said good many unkind things
about 1t and in each instance have had
It proved to them that their tales were
not true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much Of its refreshing
ieliciousness from the small bit of caf.
.eine that 1t contains. They looked upon
that as a splendid argument against it.
Then. like the old lady who was remind
ID of son William, they were reminded
that it is the caffeine in their favorite
beverages, tea and coffee, (even more
than in Coca .Cola) that gives them
their refreshing and sustaining quail
\ lies.
But does that stop their criticism OF
Coca-Cola for containing caffeine? No
their answer is similar to the old
| ady's-they say But that's another
| natter"-what they mean is Being
prejudiced against Coca-Cola and lik-
| ing tea or coffee, 1t all depends on
what carries the caffeine"
We think the joke Is on them-for
| caffeine is caffeine, and IL it is not
harmful in one it can't be harmful in
another. We all know that 1t is not
| harmful in tea or coffee-that it Is
| :eally helpful in whatever it is-this
Is bound to include Coca-Cola.
OF course, the truth is, that having
started an attack on false premises and
having had what they thought were

down her cocktail manfully but with

flushed, that her eyes sparkled and
her face beamed. The hostess felt a
little concerned about her, but why, it
was hard to say, as she was not In

cause OF the loudness of her laugh and
