that the former are quite long and
very straight, though one novelty suit
did have the rather queer-looking bell
sleeves. If you belong to the button

will please you. too, for most all of
them may be worn that way. But If
you want your throat unbundled you
may turn your collar down and still
be quite in the fashion.
Whipcords have come into fashion
again, and SO, too, have wool poplins.
Broadcloths are often used, too, and the
very sensible and good-looking tweeds
and mixed materials.
After the vivid colorings of the sum
mer, the new tones seem quiet and
subdued. There are soft, dullish
greens, dark violet shades and grays

the new African brown and many
blues, of course.

NOTES ABOUT FASHIONS.

If there is one thing above another
in her wardrobe In which a woman is
interested. it is her "tailleur." No other
costume is quite so important and so
often used, therefore the correctly
gowned woman likes the most useful
garment to be strictly IN keeping with
the mode.
Women planning journeys or starting
on early autumn holidays very fire.
quently like to get new suit for the
trip, and tailors' and women's clothes
shops are being asked for the very
newest"
Though these new models now being
shown are rather quiet in effect, the
new suits are really not at all simple.
Queer furs, unusual embroidery, wool
all these are used for the trimmings
and practically every suit has some
little touch or trimming.
Coats, almost without exception, are
rather longer than the late summer
models. And as to their style or cut,
there is great diversity. indeed. Do
you like straight lines? Then you may
have straight up-and-down boxlike
Jackets that will just suit you.
Something different you ask? Here it
is-the new fitted and fiaring coats
smart as can be, delightfully."- new and
most effective. But make sure that
they suit your type before deciding!

hops. wants his home to be a place
where no one will disturb him and so
tries to make 1t a secret. Some of them
keep it secret a little while, few keep
it secret always. and others cannot
keep 1t secret at all. That is just the
difference between Striped Chipmunk
ard Johnny Chuck. You have got to
have very bright eyes indeed to find
the home Of Striped Chipmunk. Peter
Rabbit hasn't found 1t to this day. and
he has looked ever SO many times. You
see Striped Chtpmunk very carefully
carried away all the sand which he
took out when he dug the hole where
he lives and he never goes home twice
the same way. SO there isn't even so
much as tiny path to lead one to it.
But Johnny Chuck just scooped the
yellow sand out in great pile right
In front OF his doorway. So every one
who happened to pass the far corner
OF the Old Orchard knew that Johnny
had made his home there.
Now Jimmy the Flying Squirrel pre-
fers hollow tree. and being a very
little fellow a small hollow suits him best.
So when he started house hunting he

looked for old holes. holes that Drum
mer had made so long ago that every
body around knew that they We're old
and that Drummer hadn't lived in them
since goodness knows when.

Jimmy, and shrewdly picked out an old

next potatoes are boiled. strain the
water and save it. Then pour the wa

the linen to stand in the water until

If the potato water fails to take the

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, August 14.-Lingerie
has assumed new Importance recently.
| Gowns have changed; the silhouette
has taken on new curve here and
strange line there. and the garments
worn beneath must correspond
The incoming of petticoats was not
greeted by any unusual buying of the
cotton ones, SO merchants say, although
soft silk petticoats have melted away
from the counters, especially those OF
crepe de chine, simple or elaborate. 1t
is necessary for women to have on
hand a reasonable amount of white
wash petticoats when the hot weather
comes with the advent of muslin frocks
and separate sport skirts. This num-
Der has not materially increased with
the individual. although there is
moderate increase by reason of the
vast number of women who remained
in America this year.
One often hears this statement pooh
poohed by those who imagine that only
the rich travel abroad; but an intimate
knowledge of the bookings of the va
roius steamship lines would show
otherwise. 1t is to the people with Il
slight amount of money. and of yearn-
ings, social, academic, ambitious, who
save every penny to take that trip
across the water. The sum of all these
souls makes fine return in coin to
the shipping companies. These people
have remained at home.
Can't Be Ignored.
1t is not possible to ignore this
change in the routine of travel that
has come about by the war dangers
as well as the stultifying of all gay
ETY. and transportation in Europe,
therefore no one wants to go unless
on a mission Of commerce or charity:
yet, notwithstanding this, it is true
that the hotels at summer resorts are
not we'll filed and thousands of dollars
have been lost by all manner Of people
who have put money In such enter
prises.
The cool summer has kept people
at home. The cities have no reason to
complain. New York hotels and places
of amusement are crowded. Each fash
ionab1e restaurant has patrons that pre-
empt the tablse and the shops look as
though it were late September. So the
evil days have not fallen on the town
and the country alike. The millions
have profted while the hundreds suf-
fered.
The shops are showing all kinds of
good looking petticoats not made of
cotton. The merchants believe that
the time has come to exploit garments
that will serve as a lining to diaphan-
Gus teagowns and frocks. The one-piece
frock has called out the one-piece I'M
derslip. There are all manner of
them to be had, some de luxe, others
simple and inexpensive.
Looking at these garments, one in
dulges in speculation. 1t may be that
soon we shall let our clothes burden
the shoulders and not the waist as
did the medieval ladies, for the tendency
of the hour is to carry every garment
straight up to the bust, if not beyond
it, by straps over the shoulders. This
