Jackets Are Belted.

Every one of the coats / have seen has
a well defined waist line by means of
belt. This is from two to three inches
wide and is made of many fabrics, chief
of which is thick suede or rough kid
The ornamental belts are not used at all
and one does not buckles. The belt is
a part OF the coat, in color If not in fab
ric. and it's fastening is quite simple.
1t is too early to tell what colors will
be chosen by the American buyers from
the offerings made by the French design
ers, but it looks very much as though
brown and black would again be chosen If
one judges by the approval given it by
the early American customer
Sometimes two shades of brown are
mixed in one suit, as. for instance, a coat
of khaki-colored velours de laine which
has collar and cuffs of skunk and self
colored army belt of suede.
No matter III what manner the waist
which has a straight line from shoulder
to hem is out of fashion. is one can Judge
by what is happening today. IF the de-
signers spring any surprises at the COM
ing opening, then it Is possible that these
experimental coats of the hour may be
discarded but as a rule they are admi-
rable guides as to what will follow.

high, and piece of this added to a gown

were Just about the length we wore in the
spring. Mime. Paquin may be depended
upon to bring out long coats again, for
she did it last spring and last August. hut
her followers were few and she found it
quite difficult to persuade women into
wearing them.
Those that have the godet flare at the
hens and the elaborate Louis XIV waist
coats in front proved entirely too cumber-
some for the American habit of dress, but
If Nine. Paquin Introduces them again she
may have more success. This is a we'll
known fact in fashions-that designers
will have To strive sometimes for two
years before compelling the public to ac-
cept any change of silhouette
The accepted silhouette of today, which
came into prominence last February in
Paris and last May in America, is some
what in its infancy yet and now that
women have learned to pull all the dra-
perry up In front and bunch it in the mid
die of an extraordinary waist line they
prefer not to learn anything new for a
few months. at least

New Idea in Silver Lace.

The novelty which the dressmakers are
using in silver lace has a foundation of
Lyons net on which is embroidered a
formal French pattern of open baskets
and tiny flowers. The design is we'll
known and is always called French.
This comes i'm bands and fiouncing. There
are other kinds of silver lace which are
more ornate and oriental
Because of the success of the Persian
play, lie Minaret,' there has come about
the use of much metal gauze in the lri-

foundation are embroidered heavy designs
in silver and gold.
There is a distinctly new metal lace
which is coarse filet net of silver or
gold. with insertions of floss embroidery
made into large. round open patterns that
give the appearance of lace having been
inserted i'm net. These are plentifully
mixed with silver thread and sometimes

has been fiattened by Il rolling mill, and
the meaning gives YOU an exact idea OF
what the lace is. The metal thread is

simplicity of the method delights the

admirable result with minimum OF Ell

The thread is carelessly run In and out

or a point. Lyons net Is used for the
foundation more often than any other
kind and there Is a metal gauze on which

For the dweller in an apartment there
are really capacious sliding boxes that
can be fastened to the under part of the
beds and pulled out on runners. They
stand several inches above the floor, SO
they do not collect dust Flat boxes on
wheels-the boxes made of wood. some
times covered with matting-can also be
used under the beds. but they collect
dust. Divans and touches that open are
also useful for the woman in crowded

CALLS OF THE WILD
ON DISC RECORDS
Thompson Seton, Famous Naturalist,
Uses Novel Methods to Address
Boy Scouts of America.

II, perchance you hear the below of a
bull moose, followed by the hoarse bark
of a seal and the call of a dog fox,
emanating from the parlor next door,
don't get excited. Keep your seat and
cogitate upon the enterprise of modern
science; for 1t probably will be nothing
more than your neighbor trying out a
new disk record.
There are in this country alone more
than 10000 boy scouts. Each scout pa
troll has its Individual call, and most OF
these calls are based on the cries of
wild animals. Although the scout man.
ual describes these calls as well as is
possible, "hah" is the nearest thing you
can get to the bark OF a seal, and bah"
is the best that can be done to suggest
the call OF the moose. Obviously, there
are some things that cannot be written
on paper. Equally clear. too, that un-
less the boys are fortunate enough to
live close to the homes of game they
have very little chance of getting these
things right.
The Columbia Graphophone Company
offered Ernest Thompson Seton the IA
cilities of their recording department,
and he carefully prepared a speech, not
only explaining these calls, but demon
strating them. He then made a record
of the speech, and ii is easily the most
interesting thing in the July list Of new
recordings issued by this company. 1t
is record which is going to appeal not
only to every boy scout, but also to all
those who have learned to love the great
out of doors and the inhabitants of the
wild.
Another important announcement in
this same July list is the first record
issued in the United States by Morgan
Kingston. Kingston is the English coal
miner who made a sensation some two
years ago when 1t was discovered that
he had voice that rivaled Caruso's. At
that time he was earning about shill-
ings a day as colliery foreman. Last
year he was approached by the Royal
Opera of Covent Garden with an offer
Of leading role. However. Andreas
Dippel. at that time manager of the
Philadelphia Chicago Opera Company, Sc
cured him for this country, and he will
make his debut with that operatic or
ganization this fall. His first double
disk includes ]. L. Molloy's famous Irish
song, ''The Kerry Dance" and a con-
temporary English song of widespread
vogue, 'Ianthe."
George Barrere. probably the most ia
nous flute virtuoso in the world today,
has at last succumbed to The lure OF
science, and hes too, has records in the
current list. The flute lends itself par
ticulariy well TO good recording, and the
result 10 double-disk Of unusual beauty.
There IL plenty of operate and instru-
mental matter. and the new summer re-
cordjngs include all the latest ragtime
and Broadway hits.
