SEASONS COLOR is YELLOW
SkiIIfuIIy Handled, as 1t Must Be, II
Is Becoming to the Average
Wearer.

Yellow is much seen in these days.
Last spring yellow was first extensive
ly used in lingerie. Ribbons of yell
low were run into all sorts of under
wear and negligees. Then yellow
and crepe de chine were used for the
making of rest robes and petticoats
and chemises and night gowns Yel-
low waists of chiffon and crepe de
chine were next worn. And then eve
ming frocks and afternoon frocks of
yellow appeared. There are even
some yellow tweed street suits. Vel
low is usually becoming color, if it
is skillfully handled. But there are
not many skins that are improved by
coming into direct contact with yel-
low. This fact Is now understood by
most dressmakers. In almost all the
gowns and blouses of yellow there Is
generous use of cream of white
tulle at the throat. There is usually
a touch of black somewhere ON these
yellow garments. A little black vel.
vet at the wrist or elbow or belt or
a knot of black in the drapery of the
skirt, gives character to the color that
might otherwise seem monotonous.

Salutations!

Soon after Oliver p Newman was
appointed by the president last sum
mer as one of the commissioners OF
the District of Columbia, he and his
fellow commissioner, Mr.. Siddons,
went to the Gettysburg reunion.
AS the two men came into sight OF
the soldiers, cannon began to go off.
The noise was ear-splitting. Every
time gun popped. Newman jumped
at least a foot in the air. He was
gun-shy. Finally. the fuss was too
much for him. He glared at the artil.
lery, frowned at the officers. and
scowled at the privates. Then be
turned to Siddons and asked angrily:
What in thunder is all that dad
blamed noise about?"
Later somebody explained to him
that. as a commissioner of the District
of Columbia held the rank of a gov
ernor of state. he was. being given
the governors salute of seventeen
guns.
Then" he said, with evident relief.
