MET-TOP laces over foundation
~ skirts of taffeta silk are so excel
lent for making dancing frocks that
the girl who is devoted to dancing can
not make a better choice of materials.
The taffeta is just crisp enough and
the lace has just body enough to keep
dancing gown from becoming
crushed and Strengthening" and taf-
feta seems somehow especially well
suited to youthful wearers. 1t is an
unpretentious material with a shining
surface which looks particularly well
under laces.
The Quaker, or shadow laces, if Sc
lected in the right Patterns, look just
as we'll as the net laces and are lit
tie less in price. All of them are
reasonable enough.
A very fine model for a party gown
is shown in the picture. The under
skirt of taffeta is cut full enough for
dancing, with a slight flare. There
is full ruche Of the taffeta box-plaited
about the bottom. Three flounces Of
lace are set on the skirt with only
moderate fullness. There is a narrow
box-plaiting of taffeta at the head of
each one of the two lower fiounces.
The upper flounce terminates in the
waist line.

of hair. If it is short and thin she
will have to help out it's length with
a switch, but if it is long and thick
no extra hair will be needed. The
curious fact is that hair dressers pre-
fer scantier locks helped out with ac-
quired pieces, to very abundant natu-
raj tresses.
In this couture the back hair is
arranged in a French twist, which is
spread out so that it looks soft, and
pinned to place with small shell pins.
The front hair is "fluffed" and
combed back in pompadour, with the
ends pinned under the coil. 1t is then
parted in very shallow part at the
front and fastened with invisible pins
in pretty, soft waves about the face.
For the young woman with regular
features 1t is delightful style, show
ing off the abundance of her own hair
to the very best advantage.

PAPERS RAP FOOTBALL GAME
British Press Express Indignation Be.
cause Players Refuse to Enlist
Urge Its Eradication.

Indignation against the hitherto pop
ular game of football is expressed by
nearly the entire British press be-
cause almost no men enlisted as
result of the recruiting rallies at re.
cent matches.
1T is time to eradicate the football
cancer" says the Pail Mall Gazette,
in an article which goes on to say
that not a single man was recruited
at London's principal football match,
which was attended by $4,000 specta.
tors.
A colonel who lost a son at the
front and was himself returning to
the firing line appeared at this game,
says the paper, and pleaded with the
men to enlist.
Gas a soldier l ask you" said the
colonel. Il say come, your country
needs YOU"
Then his words were drowned by
shouts when the teams came on the
field, continues the paper, which adds
that in other parts of the country the
same stolid refusal greeted the bands
of speakers and recruiting officers. No
recruits were obtained at Nottingham,
where 1000 spectators attended a
match, and no one was recruited at
Brighton.
The Evening Standard says that the
total result of the countryside move
ment was one recruit.

ing on earth can stop it?" says the
Standard. Vigorous youth should be
powerfully persuaded that this is not
the time for the development of any
passion save love Of country"
The Westminster Gazette says there
is only one way in which the football
association can put itself right in the
eyes of the public, and that is by dis.
continuing its program.

AYOT all of the new coiffures are
~ waved and curied, but those that
are not are rare enough to prove the
rule that the new modes favor waves
and curls about ninety-nine times out
of hundred. Both types are shown in
the illustration, and both are beautl-
full, but the waved couture is far
more becoming to the average woman.
A very smart and elegant arrange
ment of waved and curled hair is
shown in the figure at the right. For
she who is not the pOssessor of much
hair it is an ideal couture. To dress
it, the hair is waved all around the
head and combed forward while the
back hair is combed up to the crown.
twisted in O. light coil and drawn
through an opening in light support
or pad that is pinned to place. The
back hair is then spread and pinned
over the support.
The waved hair is parted at one side
and brought back to the coil, where
the ends are either curled or pinned
under. If the hair will not curl sue
cessfully or is very short, the small,
soft curls may be bought ready to pin
in. They are very light and naturally
curly, and are used in many ways in
the new styles. They are pinned down
with invisible wire pins, making a
fascinating finish along one side of
the COIL

In the very simple draped bodice,
the taffeta silk is draped over the lace
underbodice, reversing the order OF
things in the skirt. The lace extends
beyond the silk, forming a short sleeve
drapery for the arms and chemisette
at the front of the bodice. The bodice
and skirt are joined at the waist line.
A very wide girdle and sash is made
of the taffeta. 1t is laid in folds about
the waist and extends from just be-
low the bust to few inches below the
normal waist line. 1t is kept in shape
with stays tackled to the front, sides
and back, on the underside. The ends
cross at the right and are brought
down below the waist at the back
where the sash is finished with two
big loops without ends.
For the too slender girl an under
bodice of plain net with long sleeves,
or one of chiffon, may be added to
this dress. Sleeves and guimpe of chif-
fon over net are still better, and the
arm may be made to look much more
plump by shirring chiffon over a net
foundation.
The model is better adapted to slen-
der young girls than to others, and to
the tall figure it is most becoming.

Never was a season so fraught with
Never were champions so harshly hum
bled or SO timely tumbled Of all the
champions who risked their titles this
year in America there was but one to
defend successfully. Jay Gould, the
court tennis champion of the world,
was the exception.
Since GOuld's victory over the Eng
'lishman early this year the champions
have steadily lost. The defeat of Nc
Loughlin was, without doubt, the big
gest surprise of the year. After one
of the most fruitful campaigns that
ever was the experience of a tennis
player, the Californian was netted in
his last game of the year.
r. Norris Williams of Philadelphia,
who defeated him, was absolutely un-
known two years ago. He suddenly
burst upon our courts in a startling
blaze of brilliance from Switzerland.
He learned his game in the little coun-
try of the Alps and learned it most
thoroughly. When he arrived here he
was substantially founded in the
science of the game and only needed
a dash of American energy to make
him leading player.
The tennis situation is considerably
damned by the victory. Who's cham
pion now? That's the question.
Conditions are quite plain, and there

it worked last year. The far Louisi-
