CELDOM if ever have we had =. season that was SO perfectly
 adapted to the home dress makers needs. Even to hint at such a thing as the possibility of the great designers considering such question savers little of the absurd and 1t is probable that they would be somewhat scandalized to learn that they have SO far benefited humanity but, never theless, the fact remains. lfyour gown is smart, it must be loose: therefore, no particular fit is required and, if you have good pattern, the work is easy. It is always the plain. simple things that are difficult. Draped skirts and tunics, frills and ruches are compara- lively simple to handle. While it might require an expert to create the design for one of the fashionable costumes, 1t requires only the skill of the ordi- nary needle-woman to manufacture the gown when the design is supplied.
 Also, if one may dare to hint at such thing, the tendency towards the use of two materials contributes to economy. So many women have gowns left over from last season that it is desirable to renew that such a fashion can not fail to be practical one.
 Look at the costume at the extreme left of the picture. Suppose you have a skirt left over from last year, how easy to make the tunics and blouse of some pretty lowered material that harmonizes with the plain one and to create new costume. To be sure this skirt is draped but you could use the tunics over a plain one or perhaps the skirt could be re-cut. In any case, the suggestion for blouse and tunic of a different material is good one but be sure you do not make the mistake of losing the costume idea. Nothing must appear to be remodelled and no hint of patch work must be apparent. In this illustration. you will notice that the frills of the blouse are of plain ma terial, so connecting the two and some such treatment is important. This particular gown is made from lowered ! crepe and plain taffeta but there are SO many materials that could be put to- gether in the same way that it would require deal of space to enumerate them. So long as the plain and flow- cred materials are harmonious all the essentials of fashion are served. Incidentally, the kimono blouse could be run up in an hour or SO yet it is one of the smartest models the season has to offer.
 Roman stripes are so much used that they are really important. On the second costume of the group, they are used in contrast with plain colored eponge and the eponge is light weight wool while the stripes are silk. It would be hard to find smarter effect than the two make and, besides serving for this particular costume, they make a good suggestion for others. Stripes

claim that taffeta is being somewhat overdone and will not be worn by the most exacting of womankind but it is doubtful if that statement will stand. Present fashions with their ruffles, their frills and their bouffant effects make taffeta almost a necessity, in combination with some other material if not for entire gowns. The softer silks, such as charmeuse satin, crepe meteore and the like are wonderfully beautiful but they do not lend them selves to the puffed tunics and to the general flare that is necessary for the latest fashions.
 Among interesting materials of the crepe weave are very quaint and attractive fabrics woven in certain old-fashioned flower designs. called in some instances Dolly Madison crepe and in others Colonial crepes, and which are charming by whatever name they are called. They combine with taffeta to bring about really perfect costumes and they are greatly used in that way. All the styles of the season have a general youthful effect, which is perhaps one great element in their fascinating and the models lend them- selves to young girls costumes with the greatest case.
 Recently one of the important French designers has sent over some interesting designs evolved especially for the younger contingent and, while they do not differ materially from those of the more mature folk in cut and general style. the color treatments are essentially youthful and worthy of consideration. The puffed tunics with upstanding frills finishing the edges of the skirts suit the girls to a nicety. A very fascinating little after noon dress is of white taffeta made in this way with blouse of lace flouncing the design of which is outlined in cerise. A most fascinating dress of slightly simpler sort is made with skirt of white crepe and double puffed tunic and blouse of Dolly Madison crepe showing wonderful little punches of flowers on pink background. The crepes showing quaint designs sug- gestive of the Cubist idea suit the girls well also and very lovely cos- tunes are made with skirt of white

are to be found in cotton and line, as we'll as in silk and in such varici of coloring that some one can be four to harmonize with almost any pia color. Whether you are making new costume or whether you are making an old one, the stripes are [ smartest of all things and they used in combination with almost eve seasonable material. This particu gown happens to be brown witht bright stripes on a brown founda, and brown is exceedingly smart the season offers a great variety colors.
 Crepe finished materials and moir effects are extremely fashionable It is almost impossible to go amiss in choosing either one or in combining the two or in combining one or the other with contrasting material
 The dress of moire that is shown here is designed especially for small women and for young girls but the models of a similar sort are quite as fashionable for the more mature folk The circular founces over the plain skirt give just the flare and breadth that spring fashions demand The crepe de chine that makes the sleeves. collar and little vestee makes charm ing contrast with the moire and thcrt is still another effect of contrast foun! in the girdle of satin ribbon.
 For spring, the all silk costume is an excellent one but, for the warme- weather of real summer. one of tho beautiful cotton materials would be desirable and they are shown in wor derful variety, in plain co!ors and lowered and embroidered effects. Taffeta is combined with cotton crepe in a great many handsome costumes and this one would be pretty with the skirt and lower hounce of taffeta. :he upper hounce and blouse of crepe show ing an embroidered design.
 In a general way little girls cos tumes follow the trend of the season but there are always certain modified tions made with reference to their needs. This year Japanese sleeves are favorites and the skirts take rather straight lines but plaits are in vogue, nevertheless, even though they are pressedhat. The little frock shown is both smart and practical and it is just as pretty with blouse of white worn over a colored skirt as it is of one material. The skirt is joined to belt but the blouse is slipped on over the head and held in place by belt which, in this case, is black patent leather.

Uniformly the blouses are closed at the front and those for afternoon occasions made with " shaped necks and soft collars or fiills of lace or net finishing the edges while the sleeves are just little below the elbows, the length that is slightly abbreviated three-quarter being the preferred one of the season.
 Everything that is bright IS fash ionable and brightness belongs to youth. A most attractive little tango gown is made of silk crepe in cerise showing a broche effect in self color. There is simple little skirt that is slightly draped in burnous effect at the back and there is short circular tunic that flares we'll just below the hips.

EXPLOSION STARTS BAD FIRE.
Blaze in Business District Of ksokuk
Causes Loss Of $25, 900.

keokuk, Aug. 1S-An explosion OF
gasolene in vulcanizing machine in
the Gate City garage here yesterday
afternoon started fire which threat
ened for time to wipe out an entire
block OF manufacturing concerns. The
garage was a total loss. together with
the machines in 1t. and fire spread to
q vine gar plant and a livery barn be-
fore il was controlled. 1t is estimated
that the damage to buildings and con-
tents will be $4,000. Only one third of
this amount In insurance was carried.
Explosions OF gasolene and oil endan-
gered the flremen who were fighting
the flames, but there were no casualties
altho several firemen were overcome
by smoke and heat The buildings
which were burned were across the
area away from the old Estes house,
famous civil war hospital. but the de-
partment was able to keep the flames
from jumping to this old relic. The
heat of the blaze was so intense as to
burn electric wires running thru the
alley. and it was necessary to cut off
power currents for a time in order not
to endanger lives.
