pieces in serge, velveteen or whatever is
the heavy material of her winter every
day costume. extending from the shoulders
to below the hips and Joined across them
by silk lacingS run through large eyelets
worked in the fabric. 1t is worn over
any ordinary white blouse which, to-
gether with the walking skirt. may be
slipped of before entering the gym
nasium. and be made to answer for the
upper portion of a costume of which
the short petticoat is the lower half
The Sasque-blouse completely covers the
trunk of the body yet allows perfect free
dom of movement to the arms and tile
shoulders when in the gymnasium and 1t
gives a unique touch to the common
place classroom costume.
In black satin this casque-blouse worn
over long-sleeved guimpe in malines
or chiffon, and above a black satin skirt
helps to make up ! pretty house costume
for a slender young matron. Or. If
there is an extra skirt in white or light
cloth. il may. with the aid of the casque-
blouse, be used for a simple afternoon
get-up. Its value as a part of a mater
nifty wardrobe is obvious.

LITTLE ADVENTURES IN MARRIED LIFE

and dates Julie entered into the plans
with responsive ardor: but under cover
of her earnestness there was little in
dulgent smile tugeing at the corners
OF her mouth: and behind the eyes that
Obediently ran down columns OF train
schedules, tears Of solicitude lay ready
to spring TO the surface. Dear old Jack.
Poor old Jack, Year after year now he
had been revivinE the plans for his
southern vacation. Always when the late
winter sunshine frs took on the peculiar
softness his thought turned southwark.
The wanderlust seized him and he began
to talk about breaking away" He never
did break away"
Il don't know but what we'd better
make il Bermuda" he said at dinner
one night. The protracted discussion of
plans gave him pleasure. and Julie en-
couraged il. knowing in her heart that
it was all the pleasure he was likely to
get out of the project.
'All right, dear" she answered SYM
pathetically. Anywhere you say"

piled, but as the Bramhalls are going
there, l thought it would be pleasantcr

ORIGINAL InEA IN MAX

Right in line with the new shaded

shops, and it has the distinction that

may be seen at any dance. and their
popularity portends that the seaside
promenades will show a continual fIutter
of these shaded chiffons, protecting the
shoulders of. or adding a touch to the
summer girls outfit. The SO variety
may then appear as low as sl9S, who can
tell?
This particular scarf is made Of two
shades of chiffon. one over the other,
which adds to its strength and gives
more protection. Two yards and half
of delicate pink chiffon and the same
quantity of peacock blue were used. They
were spread out on n long table and
placed one on the other and arranged
so that hem of the blue, three and
One-half inches. was turned the entire
length and appeared as the double of
that color. This, of course pushed the
pink along, so it, too, made an independ-
ent hem of its own color on the other
a
half inches when done. so that a good
balance appeared with the two colors.
as when the scarf was worn. the dainty
pink hem rolled over at the neck, and
the more solid blue hem formed a good
base around the shoulders and over the
arms down the entire length of the scarf
on each side. The iridescent color form
ed of the two colors between the hens
was charming. \ fine line of gold paint
Is drawn along the hem where the
blue is finished at the bottom. and the
pink is merely slip-stitched. The ends
were turned in evenly and slip-stitched

scarf is as attractive over an all black

used as pink and gray. cherry and gray, |
or French blue and pink.

Arm yourself with fly swatter and
