are dealing with facts. not theories. An
other public statement made by suffra-
eists, that the anti-suffragists OF Me-

Recently, a progressive store in
New York City advertised an exhlbi-
ton of six gowns made by the ia
nous Poiret, to be shown on living
models. whose hair in each case
would match the gown she wore.
AS a setting to these Poiret crea-
tions. a space was set apart and ar
ranged as a salon, with Cubist furn-
ishings The rugs were woven in
cubes of brilliant contrasting colors.
The furniture was built upon the
simplest, sQuarest lines, painted a
foggy gray and ornamented with a
small stiff floral design. The jardi-
nieres were square. and held plants
carefully clipped in conventional
squares and circles, reminding one of
the trees in child's Noah's ark.

there are guests at a meal.
In pressing articles. instead of

A good furniture polish is eight

After washing a white knitted ier-

ONE OF THE NEW PLAIDS.

Plaid materials were never more beaur
iful than they are this season, and fine
singham and other washable fabrics
show an especial variety. This dress is
made from one Of them trimmed with
plain color and is really perfect for
scnool wear and for any simple occasion.
The plated skirt is made in three
pieces and provides comfortable freedom
at the same time that it gives pretty
lines. The wide belt is always becoming
and the double collar makes a pretty
feature. Any one of the pretty cotton
rlopes could be treated in the same way,
OF. for heavier frock for the early sea-
son, linen. ealatea or some fabric of the
sort could be substituted for the ging-
ham. Challis makes some of the pret-
test possible girls dresses, too, and chal-
lis. while not a cotton fabric, belongs in
the list of washable materials. In the
back view. white galatea is trimmed
with rose color and the combination Is
always pretty one. Simple stitched
edges are much in vogue this season, but
cords also are used as finish and the
frock made of plain color, as blue or rose
color. with the edges corded with white
would make a good effect.
