PORCH FROCKS
AND CRETONNES
Two Midsummer Fads of Fashion That Bid Fair
to Be Even More Popular
LEATHER BELTSMARSHALL INMILITARY AlR

The cretonne is printed with lattice
work, flower pots, and flowers, and this
is used for the skirt, Quaker collar,
cuffs, and brim of sunbonnet, while
the null is employed in the waist and
gathered back of the hat
The cretonne is especially summary
and youthful. 1t is shown everywhere
in vacation clothes for misses and chill
dren. The misses dresses are jumper
effects and the children 8, slips and
regular garden smocks. Even little
boys rompers are shown in the ehintz,
and certainly the flowers are prettier
than the dull linens and chambrays of
past seasons.
In the millinery field the material
plays even more important role than
in dresses. Here, there are no sports
and playtime labels. The cretonne is
made in trim sailor shapes that are par
excellence in hatdom. These are worn
both with suits and one-piece dresses.
The figures in the material give an
elaborate effect. But little extra orna-
mentation is needed. A pleated rosette
at the side, or plain colored binding,
this and no more is the trimming.

Life on this side of the Atlantic
grows more methodical. AS distinct
style as motor toys and sports clothes,
porch frocks are primarily built for
comfort and GOODNESS. The necks are
low, either Dutch fashion or Vshaped,
the sleeves short and the material sheer,
Rose mulls, figured crepes, white lawn,
and striped and coin dotted vOiles pre-
dominate. An attractive pink null is
pictured on this page with the new
tucked skirt and yoke blouse. The con
vertible collar and turnback cuff of
black -and-white striped null give a
character to the dress, which is note
worthy in all of these new designs.
Generally speaking, the styles are plain,
the imaculateness of the material being
the principle charm Of the frock. How
ever, variety is not lacking in designs
There are V-necks with the collars that
can be worn high or turn low as fancy
dictates; the round neck with broad
Quaker and Puritan collars of white
Swiss, and the new, buttoned-in the
back styles, which have the square
Dutch neck finished with bias band of
the same or contrasting material, or a
bit of embroidery.
Fancy belts are often used with these
dresses. They are made of white kid
strapped with black patent leather,
trimmed with large buckle and some
times in the military models, brass but
tons are added.
| The surprising thing about these
frocks is that they are, one and all, in
expensive. Mulls, voiles, and crepes are
offered for five dollars and less. This
fact alone does much to account for
their popularity. At least it has been
a factor in their favor this season, when
every one andshis brother are preaching
economy. These light frocks, washable
and cool, serve their purpose and serve
it well. This we must concede to the
American designer.
CretOnnes are far more startling. It IS
a long jump from Ofa-pillows to
smOcks; smOcks bridged over the space
to hats, and thus opened the way to
neckwear, skirts and children s dresses.
This furniture covering, with it's quaint
wallpaper patterns, broad stripes and
checks, seems to have fairly bewitched
the town. Last year the fad was chintz
interior decoration and this season it
is chintz dresses. Indeed, at the beach
and mountain resorts you are conspicu-
GUS for the lack of it. Hats, coats,
| collars, bags and children dresses are
fashioned of this fabric. The designs
of the material, always in gay cOlOrs,
| range from wild flowers and butterflies
to conventional roses and stiff bouquets
One of the large stores is featuring a
combination of this material and null.

NEW YORK, June 30.-Porch frocks
and cretonnes are the present proteges
of fashion. The first comes as a ma
tural sequence to the veranda habit,
but the latter descends without reason
or Observation-Disclosures overnight in
vasion. The very mode of their entry
bespeaks their duration. It is not diff.
ficult to predict that the fad Of the
porch frock is destined to last to the
third or the fourth season; in fact,
as long as porches themselves endure;
but the craze of cretonne, volatile as
it is, is whirlwind fancy.
Both are American ideas. With the
handicap of Paris temporarily removed,
the American designer has awakened to
new activities and, as ever centers his
attention on the practical, salable side
Of dress. It is a season of simplicity
and conservatism. The one-piece frock,
which has long flourished under the
Made in America label finds a new
channel. Women to-day think quickly
and act quickly. There is no hesita-
ton, they like the idea Of the porch
frock; Of having a costume that fits
in with the swinging hammocks grass,
rugs, and wicker furniture on the broad
verandas Of their homes.

His head is about ten inches below the
wire during his flight, and his body is
often horizontal during the flight.
The spectacle of this man as he climbs

so thrilling and sensational az never

The last day of the carnival, Saturday,
July "a, is Pioneer Day, and on this
occasion a parade four miles long will

city during the morning hours and will
close at Liberty Park, where many free
exhibitions and contests will take place
during the afternoon and where the
crowds will be privileged to bring their
Isuppers and eat on the grass in the cool
shade of the beautiful trees of the
park.
The railroads running into Salt Lake
have granted reduced rates that amount
practically to half fares, and for four

THOUSANDS WILL ATTEND

| Exceeding in spectacular thrills and
dare devil daring all other feats ever
ARRANGED for free, open air exhibitions
at any western carnival, comes the
news that the wards of the Wizard of
the Wasatch have secured Senior Vas
sario Cameroni for the coming carnival
in Salt Lake. July 81 to "a, and that
Cameron will twice each day slide from
the top of the tower on the Walker
Bank building to point below Third
South on Main street and point above
First South on Main street, suspended
by his teeth from a trolley that slides
along a steeply pitched wire.
| Cameron is the man who performed
the death -defying feat Of sliding down
one side of Niagara Falls to the other
in a similar fashion, and it was only
two weeks ago that Cameron slid down
snow covered wire frem the top of
the tower of the Daniels & Fisher store
building in Denver to the top Of the
Central Savings Bank building, hun
dreds Of feet below.
| The wards Of the Wizard decided
weeks ago to secure the most startling
feature possible to obtain for great
outdoor free attraction during the car
nival week, and after the hardest sort
of work they secured Cameroni.
Cameron comes with a reputation of
having performed the most airraising
feats ever attempted on the American
continent. Niagara Falls from Goat
Island to the Canadian shore, dis
lance Of 100 feet, was made on July
4, 1901. This slide was made with an
American flag fastened to his back, and
Cameroni carried two revolvers which
he discharged as he flew through the
air, hanging only by his teeth, and SUI
spended OH a slender wire cable three
eigths of an inch thick. He has never
fallen, and his accidents have always
resulted from incorrect landings. He
will make his slide twice daily during
carnival week, regardless Of weather
conditions. The only thing that would
Interrupt his performance would be a
heavy fall of sleet that might so cover
his cable that it would not permit the
wheels of the trolley to work properly,
and he may, even then, correct this by
sending down a sand bag to clean the
wire. The wire will hang from the top
most point of the tower on top Of the
Walker Bank building, hundred of feet
above the sidewalk, to two points on
Main street, one above First South and
the other below Third South. It will
be nearly 1000 foot stretch and the
wire will hang with great sag in it,
yet it will be as rigid as iron with
no danger of breaking. Cameroni can
hang by his teeth longer than the aver
age athlete can hang by both hands.
The businator or buckle muscles of his
jaw are developed into knots of iron
like hardness fully two inches thick,
and when they are flexed his jaw has
the appearance and the squarness of a
bulldogs s. He has an unusually small
mouth and is using leather con
triva4ce which he had fashioned twenty
yearsago. Cameroni actually holds his
weight by the grip of his teeth into the
leather strap. The leather is fastened
to short swivel of steel with big
hook, which is connected with the ball

Latticed Cretonne Combined with Null
in Dress for the Garden or the Shore

In view of all these things, it is not
surprising that the season has been
called one of "Portrait Fashions.
Certainly, nothing could be more pictur
esque than the cretonnes. Yet, like the
porch frocks, they are simplicity per
sonified. 1t would seem that stability
steadies the whole mode. Nothing is
biazarre or extreme. These are left tC
Paris when she shall once again take
up the question of clothes in earnest
At present, we are satisfied with the
altogether wholesome and womanly
styles that the American designer gives
us and tremble to think that the small
waists of the Catherine deMedici periof
or the tight sheath skirts may again b.
thrust upon us.
