COMBINATIONS Of
TAFFETA AND vO|LE
New York Flower Show Draws Many Exhibits in Very
Pleasing Modes
LINGERIE WAISTS FOR
SUMMER POPULA

Afternoon dresses of wolfe are to be
seen with accordion pleated skirts.
One charming white dress was made
with a series Of box-pleats, the ma
terial accordion pleated between each
pleat. Others are shirred or shocked
at intervals of two inches from the
waist to below the hips.
A simple and serviceable model de.
veloped in gray taffeta is shown in my
Illustration. The simple waist with
three-quarter length bell sleeves is
trimmed with black-and-white striped
taffeta. A pointed girdle of the
striped taffeta is used around the
waist. The skirt is made with an ur.
per section, which is almost short
enough to be a yoke, to which the
lower section is gathered.

New York, April 16.
Two noteworthy events took place
in the New York world of fashion this
last week. One was the Flower Show,
the other was Lady Dutf-Gordon's
opening. In her wonderful studio, with
carefully arranged lights, her latest
creations were exhibited to few es.
pecially invited guests. Her dresses
are most original in line and daring
in color scheme, but she never errs in
effect.
A dress which showed strongly its
Victorian influence was made of laven.
der silk, with closely-buttoned pointed
bodice. A large fichu of softest maline
was draped around the shoulders,
with ends hanging to the hem of the
skirt, which stood we'll away from the
figure in truly crinoline effect.
The bodice with pointed front ap-
peared many times, and in the eve-
ming gowns was accentuated by a deep
v in the back, which sometimes ex-
tended to the waistline.

SHARPENING THE MORAL SIGHT

SHARPENING THE MORAL SIGHT.
If there weren't so many good peo-
pie in the world there would not be
so much educational matter written
and read. The fact that there are so
many readers of self-improvement.
writing proves the existence of a null
titude who want to do right. Often
mistakes are made or an unwise
course persisted in simply because of
failure to see better way. 1nadver-
tent misdoing may not be blamable if
the inadvertence could not reasonably
be helped, and failure to realize the
extent of wrong may greatly ex-
cuse the doing of it. But all people
are bound to improve their conscien-
tiousness,- to speak. They should
not become morbidly scrupulous but
their standard of conduct should al
ways be growing finer, just as spe-
cializing in anything will make for a
ton. There is no greater help to a
higher degree of goodness than learn
ing to discern wherever principle of
right living is violated, irrespective
of the accident violating it. We live
so constantly in the environment Of
seeing things estimated according to
their material results that we are
likely, if not CAREFUL, to forget why
certain things are wrong. The taking
of another's property is wrong, not
because of the property, which often
might have been given away, but in
the violation of the losers personal
right to it. Merely striking another
is not wrong when done in play or
to resuscitate when faint The indig
nifty is not in the blow but in the
contempt. The accidental fact of
wrong being done with material things
or with material consequences has
very distorting efforts on the mora!

THE GOOD SHEPHERD.

Throughout the entire New Tesla
ment there is no lesson surprising
this beautiful gospel as an evidence of
the Masters benignant, fostering care
for each individual human soul. De-
votion to His own is expressed to
the degree Of willingness to give His
life for His cherished flock as the
greatest possible proof of protective
love.
Two great lessons come Immediately
home to us in the story. First, the
important obligation of following the
great example in tender, loving care
for those in our keeping. There is
not one instance in the life of the Re-
deemer of His speaking harshly to His
intimately familiar associates, who
were virtually of His household. Even
Peters denial and the approaching
treason of Judas were rebuked in a
spirit Of wounded love. His severe
denunciation was given to His oppos-
ers. To speak kindly and to think
fondly of ones own household is the
way to initiate the Good Shepherd.
A second great lesson is conveyed
in the words, "Other sheep l have
that are not of this fold" Do we lack
opportunities, surrounded as we Cath
olics are by the separated brethren,
for manifesting spiritual solicitude
for them and for beginning this by the
compassionate regard for them that
would show an imitation Of the Good
Shepherd?-C. H. K.

This Partisan and London designer
came here shortly after the war COM
menced. In the Fall she introduced a
number of novel styles. One, the
Tommy Atkins suit, has had unexpect-
ed popularity, being copied and shown
with or without variations all over the
country.
The charming dress which she de-
signed for Mrs. Vernon Castle, the
dancer, has been a distinct innovation,
which showed the artistic skill of its
creator, in applying style to the in
dividuality of its wearer. Another nov
city is the dress which is held slightly
away from the figure by reed, and
lately she has introduced a Russian
head dress. These last have not been
accepted and whether they will or not
time only can tell.
Her collection showed a large vari
ETY. in the treatment of the skirt. For
instance, a. Partisan dancing frOck was
wired about the hips. A number show
ed pannier effects. A Louis Philippe
model was trimmed with two rows OF
ribbon loops, and Victorian model
had skirt laced part way down the
front. Tailored skirts have large
patch pockets on either hip. One
skirt had a round apron with a pocket
on either side. In the back it was
strapped below the waistline with a
belt. Altogether it was not unlike the
leather aprons worn by ironworkers.
At the Flower Show, the street and
conservative afternoon costumes were
in evidence and also many handsome
motor wraps. There were numerous
navy blue suits seen and many in the
light colors, such as sand and beige
A dress of sand-colored covert was
trimmed with black satin collar and
revers. Black silk braid is used on
the sleeves, on the, back of the jacket
and on the hips Of the skirt. Silver
ball-buttons were used in conjunction
with the braid.
Taffeta is used over and over again
for evening and afternoon dresses
sometimes, deliberately trimmed with
puffs and shirrings, flounces shirred
on cords, or a series of straight OF
bias ruffles from the high or normal
waistline to the bottom of the skirt.

FUNNY FAULTS.

Learning anything Is such a compli-
Gated, mysterious process that the
wonder of it is that mistakes are not
more frequently made than they are
and if anything could be learned with
out mistakes it would really be more
amusing than the most ludicrous
blunder because it would be so much
more unusual.
A toddling boy of four must have
wondered very amusedly why others
laughed when he expressed liking
for "easy boiled eggs" In choos-
ing the expression he was simply ex-
ercising his natural inference. An
other little fellow did likewise when
learning his alphabet by means of pic
torially illustrated words. It was easy
to determine that cat spelled "cat"
because of the pictured pussy near the
letter c. But how could he imagine,
further on, that urn did not spell
"sugar-bowl"? At any rate he said it
did, for how could he know anything
about an urn, neither his family nor
friends having had experience with
such vessels, as urns formed no part
of their regular household furniture?
But it is harder to determine what
leads to the mistakes of older pupils
than nursery-toddlers. What older
children draw their differences from
is a sore puzzle.
"The drunkards infested a key of
liquor" wrote young girl when told
to give correct instance of the use
of the word "infest." Did she imagine
that infest had anything to do with
festival and that "infest" meant to
have jolly good time and that that
was what the drunkards had had with
the liquor? At any rate she spoke
more truly than she knew of the mag
ined key and its patrons.
A ridiculous anti-climax was caused
in a reading class by girl reading an
animated description of a storm at sea
in which a ship, as she read, was
rushing along at great rat" Per-
haps she had recently been told that
babe is pronounced bad" and thus
instinctively inferred that rate fol-
lowed the same rule.
In a written examination in "The
Lady of the Lake" one of the students,
giving prose description of some of
the incidents of the poem, related
that the old harper followed Malcolm
to the edge of the river and watched
him swim across it with "his head
darting here and there" How could
Malcolm swim with such head?
What did the writer think that dart
ing meant? Who can tell? Occa-
sionally an answer is amusingly cor
rect.
"Can you name five kinds of wild
flowers that grow in Minnesota" was
a question on a small boys examina-
ton paper. And it did not take him
long to write the brief, truthful, COM
prehensive answer, EYES," Why
should he have inferred that more was
wanted?-C. H. K.

Best of spring vegetables is the
parsnip. Like the carrot the parsnip
is fairly rich in starch and sugar, but
unless care is taken these properties
will dissolve in the cooking and so
be wasted. The flavor of parsnip is
greatly improved by adding a little
to their natural sweetness.
