quarrels with this purpose. On the
other hand, the opinions of experts
on social betterment do not agree as to
the wisdom Of trying to secure this
purpose through so-called pension leg
islation, as will be seen by an examina-
ton of the discussions referred to In
the photography. The methods and
standards prescribed in the different
States vary. 1t Is impossible that all
should prove equally valuable in serv-
ing their common purpose. At the
present time it is impraeticable for
this bureau to undertake any field
study of the operation of these laws
(even were it not premature), but in
view of the immediate legislative I'M
portanee of the matter, and of its va
rious bearings, it is believed that the
following compilation of American
texts, together with the New Zealand
law passed in 1911 and a translation of
the Danish law passed in 1918, added
for purposes of comparison, will prove
timely and useful. The photography.
while not exhaustive, contains most of
the significant recent material"

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1914-05-02

DISTINCTLY in the new French
- mode, this gown eXemplifies how
far it has departed from the clinging
fabrics and long lines that have pre-.
vailed through many seasons. Com
PARSONS are odous, but, like the
Athenians, the moderns are always
looking for something new, and hence
the new modes. Some Of them are
destined to die an early death and
the best that can be said of many of
them is that they furnish a cue to
designers who take them up and i'm
prove upon them.
In the gown pictured the employ
ment of wide, plaid ribbon in bodice
and skirt is a feature that is destined
to live. The easy and comforta BILE
adjustment of the bodice, and its use
fulness for outdoor wear, are commend
able. 1t answers the purpose Of
little coat, finished with a standing
frill of double taffeta about the neck
and sleeves, and the suggestion of a
basque in the narrow frll about the
waist.
The plaid ribbon forms yoke
slightly full about the waistline, to
which the lower part of the skirt is
sewed. The seam shows a piping in
the ribbon. Except for the yoke the
skirt is made of taffeta laid in mar
row side plaits, and finished with a
double frill of taffeta about the bot
tom. Two similar frills are placed
just below the knees
The skirt has novelty to recommend
1t, but is not graceful. The yoke is

almost plain about the hips, and all
the lines made by frills and Jennings
extend straight around the figure, less
ening its height. No natural curves of
the body are followed, and in fact the
body Is encased in the skirt instead of
being draped with it. The design is
suited to a slender figure Of medium
height. 1t would be grotesque on
short, plump figure and awkward on
tall, slim figure.
The yoke with side plated skirt at.
tached has been worked up quite sue
cessfully by making it an overskirt
finished with frill at the bottom,
falling over plain skirt. The over.
skirt is weighted a little and slopes
downward toward the back. The un-
derskirt is full enough to admit of
freedom in walking.
One Of those hats with fiat, fiaring
brim mounted over the side of crown
is faced with chiffon which extends be-
yond the edge of the brim In frill.
The bandeau is covered with rib.
bon finished with small bow at the
right side. The plateau is of straw
braid and trimmed with wreath of
small flowers in vivid colorings. 1t is
smart and attractive model.
Plaid and figured taffeta ribbon play
very important part In the con.
struction of gowns and wraps. They
are formed into flounces, edging wraps
shaped like short capes and other
suggestions of the dolman Of days
gone by.
