HE dance has been made such an
 important feature during the

X important feature during the
 summer that suitable gowns and suitable wraps are quite certain to be needed at this season. This last coat, is one of the prettiest and most graceful that could be suggested. It gives something of a cape effect, yet it is made with raglan sleeves. It is easy to slip on and off and it is ex- trcnaely pretty and becoming. As shown here. it is made of moire silk in 2 pale shade of yellow with black velvet collar but it could be copied in light colored broadcloth, in char mouse satin or in golfne or in any material suitable for wrap and soft enough to take graceful folds. The wide frill makes a most effective finish but it is not necessary for the plain edges also are smart and the sugges- ton in the back view is good one.
 The skirt is just plain two-piece one with deep founce of lace arranged over it and the material of the skirt is crepe de chine while the lace is the pretty dainty shadow sort which is specialv youthful in effect.

THERE is something exceedingly
 graceful and attractive about the simple flaring coats that ne 60 fashionable this summer. The pne to the left Is made from soft silk moving flower design. It is charm. ngly summerlike in effect and is trimmed with ribbon frills.
 NNE of the pronounced features
 of the season is the use of
 contrasting materials or colors in gown and here are two designs hat illustrate that point in quite diff erent ways.
 The gown. illustrated on Figure 2. lhows a combination of plain material kith Roman striped The plain color s soft tan and the ground of striped 'abric;matehes it perfectly. The blouse Is gathered and joined to a plain vest portion. This vest is rolled over to form a collar and second collar is arranged over the first. The sleeves are joined to the blouse at the long shoulder line. The skirt is in two pieces with straight gathered Aounce arranged over it at yoke depth.
 The next gown shows very beautl- ful shade of blue crepe de chine com bined with black satin. The blouse is simple one, the fronts are faced and turned back to form the revers and the plaited collar is attached to the upper edges of the revers and the neck edge. The skirt is cut in two pieces. In this case, it is made with ssaped tunic and insets at the sco.,.. These are both fashionable f. but may be omitted if a plain s, preferred. :.

TT has been well and truly said that
 the accessories often make or mar
 the costume and this season the statement might almost be narrowed down to collars. Collars are exceed ingly important. They fill really big place in fashionable dress and xnew ones are in every way distinctive in style and cut. In the picture are three good styles. The one on the figure is made after the Normandy fashion with big points and, as shown here. it is made of organdie lined with itself, that being favorite material for collars this season.

REFUSE TO PROSECUTE
MEN WHO RAISE CHECKS
Secrecy Thrown Around This Form OF
ThievfnE. believed by Police 10
he An Encouragement.

Although several cases OF raised
checks have been brought TO the at
tention of the police recently, prose
cutions have been impractical BILE be
cause the parties drawing the checks
have declined to allow their names TO
be used. Several times the banks
ca hing the raised check have shown
an equal rcticence and declined TO
prosecute. The police have been in
formed that recently wclI-known
plumbing concern gave an employe a
check for $3.50 for wages due. When
the plumbing company had its bank
book balanced, this check was found
marked paid for $3.50, and the thief
had left town. The plumber was un-
willing TO throw good money after
bad. and would take no steps to prose
cute. Cases of this kind. II Is stated
are not infrequent. In Washington
recently we'll groomed young man
entered jewclry store to select a
bracelet for his wife. He took two,
paving So for each. with the under
standinEvthat either could be returned
Later he requested the jeweler TO send
him check for s. for the bracelet
returned. which was done. When the
jcweler balanced his account he found
the check had eeparaised to $500.
In Norfolk a cheak of p. Simonds
was recently raised from 81 to 800
The police believe that the secrecy
which usually follows efforts TO raise
checks. and the unwillingness OF the
victims TO prosecute, has been an en-
couragement to this form of thievery.
Methods OF preventing this mode of
stealing have been carefully sought by
banking associations. 1t Is stated that
the general public is very lax in the
matter OF drawing checks, leaving
possibilities OF open changes or the
removal OF the writing by acids in the
event that the paper falls into dishon-
est hands. The police are OF the opin-
ion that there arc many such cases
which are never reported.
