CREATORS OF styles are arbiters OF
W fashion only to limited degrees in
these latter days. For women have
become too wise to accept styles that
are devoid of beauty in lines, and the
demand for beauty in colorings Is pos
tive. Those enterprising and clever
creators Of new ideas whose early
spring song extoled bouffant drat
peries have already learned that the
bouffant draperies have fallen down,
both figuratively and literally. The
idea remains, or, rather, reflections Of
It. but the draperies are not bunchy
and cumbersome at all
Here is gown in which Nine.
Paquin has demonstrated her con-
summate skill by solving the problem
Of the new hip drapery in satisfac-
tory manner.
The fabric used is taffeta silk In a
light leather brown. The skirt is
prettily draped, falling about the fig
ure easily, but with no unneeded full
ness. It hangs from the normal waist
line and the lines in 1t are beautiful
because they are those into which the
silk falls Of itself
The overdrapery also falls freely
from the waist line, but it is full, and
corded at the edge so that it stands
away from the figure. There Is a
wide folded girdle of the silk and a
bodice Of net with ends extending
through and below the girdle.
American wearers will demand one
change in this design. There will have
to be more bodice. Also, for the fig
ure of average piumpness, the stand
ing rufiies on the shoulder will have

Or. cordon,s Lack Of Tact.

Such good story is floating around
the ministerial circles of Greater Bos-
ton that we yield to the temptation
to pass it along, says the Congrega-
tionalist. The other Sunday morn
ing in the course of his sermon DR..
George A. Gordon, in one of those de-
lightful impromptu "asides," in which
he OCCASIONALLY INDUCES, remarked
that it did seem to him sometimes as
II Christians were about the most stu
pid people in the world. An emil
nent educator of the city usually at
tends Old South church, but this morn
ing he was not able to be present, and
at dinner time his wife, reporting on
the sermon to which she had listened,
quoted this, particular remark of DR..
Gordon's. The small boy of the fams
lily at once spoke up and said: But,
mother, do you think that was very
tactful remark? There might have
been some Christians there" No one
has laughed more loudly or frequently
over this incident than DIR. Gordon
himself.

to be omitted We shall see this beau
tiful design with the bodice adapted to
American taste, and American taste
does not run to such drapery above
the waist line or too much below it.
With all due respect to the wonder
full Paquin, the gown will not be any
less beautiful when some one Of our
own producers has Americanized the
bodice
Among other available fabrics be-
sides taffeta, challies and soft cotton
crepes merit attention. They are in
expensive and elegant and, the color
ings are refined and beautiful. Either
of them will develop gown, pat
termed after the model shown here,
that will be equally attractive
The design is simple, but the skirt
can hardly be managed without pat
tern. There need be no difficulty
about this. because nearly all the
standard pattern concerns have mod
els similar to It. The overskirt is a
plated fiounce sloping up to the waist
line at the front: The girdle is made
of two wide bias strips, and fastens
with fiat bow at the back
A plain net waist or a lace waist
might be worn, with shirred shoulder
straps made of the same material as
the skirt, or the model, just as it is
pictured, could be worn with lace
or net guimpe. The introduction in
the bodice of a touch of the material
of the waist is preferable because it
apparently lengthens the figure, which
is almost another way of saying that
it makes one look more graceful.

n HE strong machine-made nets in
\ plain and in fancy meshes have
struck a new note in summer finery
and in undermusiins. The latter have
been growing lighter and filmier for
several seasons. Now we have main
sock petticoats with plain net
dounces, or petticoats made entirely
of net. Nightgowns with kimono
yokes Of fancy net, like that shown
in the picture. make the work of the
seamstress easy and give the same
lacy effect that we have accom-
plished heretofore with insertions of
lace and fine embroidery sewed to-
gether.
1t is, in fact. an easy matter to
make nightdress of this description.
The yoke is length Of lace folded
over and having the neck opening and
sleeves cut exactly in the fashion that
children cut out clothes for dolls,
The neck opening is finished with
band Of beading edged with a narrow
insertion of Val. or cluny lace or hand
crochet. The sleeves are finished in
the same way, or the beading is omit
ted and lace insertion substituted as
In the nightdress pictured here.
The yoke is set on to the body Of
the gown with a wider beading than
that used for the neck. and finally rib
bon suited In width to the beading is
threaded through. Ends long enough

ing up the ribbons and finishing with
a pretty bow or rosette.
A good design for a handmade
gown is shown in the second figure.
There is demiyoke of embroidery at
the front. which may be hand en-
broidered by those who have leisure
and taste for this work. The fine ma
chine embroideries do very well also.
The demiyoke is set in the front OF
the gown and edged with hand
crocheted lace At the bottom and
top of the embroidery. insertion to
match the lace is whipped on before
the body Of the gown is attached.
This is one of the rare nightdresses
not supplied with ribbon run through
beading. Its absence is explained by
the fitted yoke at the front and the
fullness at the edge of the neck in
the back. But small fiower-like
rosettes of ribbon are tucked at the
top of the yoke and provide pretty
finishing touch.
Lingerie ribbons are made up into
bows and rosettes ready to pin on
with the smallest of safety pins. One
set of bows made in this way may be
transferred from one gown to another
or from one garment to another.
The most elegant of undermuslins
are not loo much trimmed. But the
use of ribbon decorations is more ex-
tensive than ever in the history Of
these garments.

ACCORDING TO ORDER
MISSIONARY IN INDIA TAKES /
HELPMATE CHOSEN.
Generally Better, However, as In the
Case Herewith, That There Should
Have Been Little Prelinlin-
airy Counting.

Almost every one who has friends
in mission work in India knows that
one very important function Of the
missionary is to play the part of
matchmaker to his flock, But few, IL
any, have heard OF the conditions be-
ing reversed, and the flock turning
matchmaker for their missionary.
That does occur, however, as the let.
ter written by a missionary who lives
at Tuticorir, south India, tells:
On New Years day, 1911, as I was
seated In my little mud cottage cit
Tuticorin, number of people en-
tered the veranda and tremendously
came into my room, bearing trays OF
flowers, fruits, raisins, and sugar
which they placed at my feet like sup
plants, who desire to gain the hearing

etiquette had been observed. and
had indicated my willingness to hear

which the others gave strict attention.
It ran like this:
Reverend Sir. You have now for
nearly two years bestowed great care
and labor upon us, ministering to our
spiritual welfare and striving for the
health of our souls to such an extent
that you thaye greatly impaired your
own physical health; and we feel that
you need some one to care for you,
since you do not care for yourself.
We, fear lest your zeal in our behalf
may deprive us at once of your life
and services. Therefore, with pre-.
found humility and sincere respect,
We venture to request you to marry a
good woman, who will both care for
you and help u.s.
This was naturally confusing
thing to happen; but was bound to
respond to such an eloquent appeal,
and when the applause died away,
rose, and answered with considerable
effort:
Your affectionate regard for my
welfare is so overwhelming that

MAKING BARRE-BURLLNGTON ROAD
SAFER

Preparations are under way for road
construction work on the main highway
between Barre and Burlington with a
view to elimination of at least one very
dangerous section of roadway, where the
highway passes through a narrow defile
close to the railroad track at Jonesville
This place has long been recognized az
one of marked possibilities for disaster
to vehicles, and since the automobile
came into very frequent use on this line
of travel the dangers have been increased
many fold Indeed, few people have
passed over the road without comment
ing on the grave dangers that await All
kinds of vehicles at this point and not
few people have been in the habit
of approaching the place with real dread.
Particularly are the dangers more immi-
nent when automobiles from outside of
the state, who are unacquainted with
the roadway, are passing, as many of
them are none too careful in driving.
Therefore. it is with real satisfaction
that the general public will learn that
steps are TO be taken to eliminate part
OF the danger on one of the most trsv-
eled thoroughfsres in the state.
