which Miss Phillips designed for her
self. In color it is the new putty
shade. and in material 1t is cravenette,
and right there are two samples of the
good sense Of the designers good ideas.
The skirt is short and moderately
narrow, with plaits at each side. The
coat is loose. although with nothing of
the box effect. with plaitS in the skirts
and with large patch pockets buttoned
on toward the front. The belt, of me-
on either side of the front, and the
sleeves carry out the same idea with
4 band buttoned on at the cuff. The
revers are long and wide, and the fas-
teninG is quite low. A roll collar of
geOrgette Grape gives a bit Of relief
to the monotone of the suit
With this is worn an English walk
ing toque of corded velvet in the same
putty color as the cravenette and cdg-
ed with beaver. 4 veil of Niger brown
(tete de nccre) is edged with a band
of the beaver also. And this veil is
one of the newest of the very latest
things" even with those who are al
ways a day or two ahead Of Them
selves. We have had the silk and the
velvet band. but the edge of fur seem

knobs stuck in almost at right angles
upon either side for its sole Ornamen-
tation. Boots are the first considera-
ton with those who love to walk, and
the ones belonging to this costume are
OF black kid and lace at the inner side.
Miss Phillips claims that this Is the
'Only living, absolute and original
neutral costume, and as she goes on
one is bound to admit the claim, for
the coat is English, the skirt is Dutch
and the high boots purely Russian.

surely must feel a surcrease from sor-
row when she dons the evening gown
herewith presented In No. 8. Built on
the lines of high WASTED baby dress,
this IS a very dream Of a gown. OF
pink chiffon over blue, which in its
turn covers layer Of lavender laid
over pink, with an overdress Of
opalescent net in a deeply embroidered
lace effect, with lacelike scallops at
the bottom and up the front, this lit
tie frock is as shimmery a rainbow

Baby pun sleeves that slip of the
shoulder down on the arm with an in
genuous air Of helplessness are aided
in their task Of keeping things up by
an opalescent band over the shoulder
These are tethered to the top Of the
bodice by so substantial thing as a
rosebud. The butterfly impression Of
futtering delicacy and daintiness is
augmented by a large fan Of flesh COL

improvements in Gas Appliances

II is common statement that mat =
tiers inside the house which are in
the nature of labor savers for women,
only come slowly, and long after their
need has been felt. Many houses are
not furnished with electricity, and
many women are envious of the luxu-
rious way their friends houses spring
into light by the mere pressing of a
button.
This button pressing can now be
applied to gas. and takes the place
of the two-chain system In which
ignition was caused by a spark. This
method was operated by means of a
dry battery placed in the cellar or
basement. and can be equally well an
piled to the push button.
These buttons. as for electricity. can
be placed in the wall and will Hight
just as conveniently. Few people still
use the oldfashioned flat gas flame,
for tests have shown that It con-
'sumes more gas than a mantle burner
and gives less light. In fact, il con-
sumes two-thirds as much gas, and
gives a quarter more light.
Housekeepers have been slow to
take advantage of the iron top for
gas ranges, which gives more heated
surface with less amount Of gas. To
light the burners on the range. you
can now have attached what is called
the spit-fire flame. 1t lis composed
of two lengths of conducting pipe
crossing at the center. The four ends
extend to the four top burners Of the
range, and at each. burns a tiny light.
when il is desired to light any burn
er. simply open the stop cock and let
the gas, flow into the burner. 1t
ignites Automatically from the tiny
spit-fire flame without danger Of ex-
plosion.
The cost of burning the spit -fire Is
only 10 cents month when s0-cent
gas IL used. No matches are needed
when this attachment Ia used. The
spit-fire can be attached to any range
at small cost -.

POLICE DEPARTMENT

Matters of Interest to Police Placed
Directly in Their

Norfolk, Va, March l5.-The local pc.
lice department has begun the issuance
Of a daily bulletin, to members of the
department. The bulletin is turned on,
on a hecktoGraph. which has been added
to the headquarters equipment
1t contains numerous items of interest
to the police and announcements the
heads of the department desire to place
before the men. 1t has an advantage
over the headquarters bulletin board, in

ever, and is very pretty. too, drawn In
tight about the neck, and very coy
as well when the day is raw and damp.
OF course, with a costume casting
such defiance to Jupiter Pluvius, an
umbrella would be an anachronism,
but habits are hard to break, and one
must carry something, SO there is a
very smart swagger stick, all Of pig
skin. which is made Just for that pur-
pose-that the weather defying dam
sci may put the cachet Of "chic" upon
her costume.
For an afternoon stroll on a fair day
we have the brown satin coat shown
in No. 3. This is cut to hang loose
across the chest, but Is drawn in by a
wide sash just below the hips. The
skirt falls in two graduated fiOunces,
both banded with the same silver fox
fur which forms the wide collar and
cuffs. The muff carried is also of the
silver fox and is the fiat kind with the
animal apparently folded over in the
Riddle with a meditative nose resting
above the hands, while the long fluffy
tail hangs down below. The small
round low hat Of brown satin has a
rim of the same fur at the top of the
crown and two large fur balls dangling
over the right ear.
| The walking costume in No. will
commend itself to all pedestrians who
want something to fit their peripatetic
needs and at the same time be quite
correct If they should happen, on their
tramp through the park, to meet 4 So
cially inclined friend who wished to
take them to tea-say, at the Plaza.
This one is n happy combination Of
satin and gabardine Of black, but not
of 4 somber hue.
| The hoop skirt Of satin Immediately
gives the lie to any suggestion Of
| mournfulness. while the soldier pock-
cts Of gabardine and the shoulder
straps worked in silver would make
strong appeal to any lass who loves
soldier. 4 white linen sailor collar
embroidered in silver puts in an added
