women over the idea of cotton gowns

ecial Correspondence of The Star.

NEW YORK, November 5.--The first
thought that comes in this new de-
mand for cotton frocks Is the excep-
tionally lovely ones worn by our imme-
date ancestors. those frilly affairs Of
cotton net and organdie and val lace.
Why not revive them?
Cotton crepe is all very we'll for an
informal house frock and the ginghams
and calicoes that the artistic members
Of the patriotic southerners have adopt
ed for every day use in ones own heat
ed rooms are admirable and colorful
for just that purpose, but for evening
wear the fine organdie and cotton mus
lin are the best choice.
These are made all the more wear
able by the new fashion which calls
for ruff1es on the skirt and a bodice
without sleeves and cut on less formal
lines than those which have prevailed
for years. Even the great Callot lends
her art in September to frocks that
were nothing more or less than a
shower of flounces, often edged with
colored taffeta in the fashion of the
carly sixties.
At one Of the smart dances among
the younger set here, an informal
countryside affair. the hostess found a
gown that had served in a tableau some
years ago which had been made after
the hoopskirt, uncovered shoulder Pc
Rod, the fabric of fine cotton net, the
fiounces edged with blue ribbon. She
saw how nearly it resembled a Callot
frock her young aunt had brought from
Paris during wartime, and freshening
1t up a bit, she tucked in pink rose,
added white stockings and laced fat
heeled black satin slippers and found
herself the envy of the dancers.
She had done that wonderful thing
among women; she had invented new
style. or rather different style, and
she received due tribute.

A Gown All RuMes.

The sketch given today may be pinned
up on the wall of the sewing room and
followed without qualms in the fabrics
that the American looms turn out or
American cotton has supplied. There
are seven founces, each edged with
old rose ribbon. The simple blouse
runs straight under the arms and is
held over the shoulder by stripes of
rose ribbon. Whatever color is most
becoming may be substituted for 1t.

When Baby Can Use His Teeth.

Most year-old babies can eat tiny
piece of bread and butter. Some for
ward mites try to use their teeth even
earlier. Cut the bread and butter into
small squares and remove the crust
to prevent their choking. The bread
must not be less than twenty-four
hours old Rub the butter well into
1t; this makes 1t more digestible than
merely spreading 1t. When twelve
months old the average child may be-
gin to drink from a cup, and gradual
weaving from the bottle should then
commence. But should any wilful
rogue seriously resent the new way Of
feeding and stubbornly cling to his
old friend, the bottle, indulge him for a
time. Babies will be babies and have
their little fads, Why not? We grown
ups have. Take away the bottle and
probably large proportion of the
daily milk will be given up. The lit
tie ones should have at least two pints
per day.

CRUSHED
Was Conductor LawthGF'S
Leg In An Accident
At A Railroad Bridge East
Of Mt. Vernon

j. +. Lawther, freight conductor,
sustained badly crushed leg in an
accident that took place at Bridge "a,
near the Koons farm, between Mt.
Vernon and Gambler, Friday afternoon
at 4:30 O'Clock. He was caught be.
tween the boom of the work-train der
rick and the side of the bridge. Mil
ler's ambulance from Mt. Vernon was
called to the scene of the accident and
the injured man was brought to the
Mt Vernon hospital where the Penn
sylvania Ry, surgeon was called in at
tendance.
Conductor Lawther, whose home is
in Orrville, was in charge OF the work
train which was bound for Gambler
where a new railroad bridge is under
way of construction. He was riding
upon the derrick car. AS the car ap-
preached the west end of the bridge,
the boom of the derrick swung slightly
to the left for some reason and struck
the iron supports of the bridge. Law
theirs leg, near the hip, was caught
between the two and was crushed
badly.
At the hospital. an examination of
the injuries revealed the fact that
the sartorius muscle had been cut en-
tirely in two and that six extensive
flesh wounds had been sustained The
thigh was badly bruised and lacerated.
1t is probable that Lawther win be
crippled permanently to certain ex-
tent. He will be removed to his home
in Orrville as soon as possible.

WHITE HOUSE WEDDING
TAKES PLACE MAY 7
President and Mrs. Wilson Make
the Announcement.

Washington, April 1S. =, The mar,
riage of Miss Eleanor Rudolph Will
son and the secretary of the treas.
ury, William Gibbs McAdoo of New
York, will take place in the White
House on Thursday, May Z. The an
nouncement was made by the presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson. The announce
ment added:
"In accordance with the wishes of
Miss Wilson and Mr.. McAdco, the
wedding will be very small; only the
vice president and Mrs. Marshall, the
cabinet and the immediate members
of the two families are to be pres.
ent."
These plans are disappointing to
Washington society, which had hoped
for large and brilliant wedding. II
has been known recently, however,
that Mrs. Wilson's illness had caused
curtailing of the original plans. 1t
is believed that the ceremony will be
performed at noon and by a Presby-
terian minister, assisted by an Epis
copalian, as the McAdoo family are
of the latter faith.
Miss Wilson's trousseau Is now
practically ready. Miss Wilson her
self is at White Sulphur Springs, but
she made trip to Washington last
Monday to arrange for the final de-
tails Of her wedding. The most OF
the trousseau has been purchased and
arranged for in New York.
