stocks. The swift reverse of the
style from one extreme to another is
more than a mere within Of Fashion.
Women, by their grudging homage to
the high collar, were, as ever, the
the wedge that forced the mode. In
deed, the American woman has been
so humored by past fashions, it is not
surprising that she refuses to be mar
tyred to the stock. The broad Quaker
and deep-jointed Puritan of Swiss and
the lesser collars that grow out OF
these two, are far more likely styles
for the warm weather.
If you intend being really well
dressed, wear one of these and look to
your cuffs as well as your collar.
Gauntlet" is the live wire at present
the last word in cuffs. There is no
need to describe the style the name
implies it's sleeve-protecting looks.
Today this is the extreme; tomorrow,
when it's newness is rubbed off by
wearing, it will join the ranks of the
regular summer fashion, along with
the organdy and Swiss turnback cuffs
that match the Quaker and Puritan
collars and the sheer inner sleeves
that show below the "Castle sleeves of
taffeta.
Skirts mark the divergence of the
mode. These defy all known rules of
Fashion, and dip and hike; in fact, do
everything, except what is expected of
them. Open-front overskirts are long
er than the foundations they are
worn with, and fly back in the wind
to show bright inside facings. Full
dress skirts have bound, cavalier
slashes around the lower edges, and
even tailored skirts show deep points
front and back. These do not need
even the excuse of Flatiron or a
Times Square corner to show their
brilliant Innings and, incidentally, the
well turned ankle of the wearer.
Fashion is doing all kinds of queer
things these days, such as putting or
CANDY where taffeta belongs and tat
feta where you naturally expect or
CANDY. This is just what has happened
in one Of the new summer frocks,
where the soft, rolling collar, pointed
vest and inner sleeves are made Of the
organdy to match the voluminous ruff
fed skirt and the coatee, cut with a
peplum and held in at the waist, is
made of dark blue taffeta. The style
is really a crinoline, but no one would
ever accuse the silk coatee and cotton
skirt of being a carry-over from the
last season.
Despite the present popularity OF
plain, dark blue and black taffeta,
there is a growing tendency toward
printed silks checker-board patterns,
sprinkled with roses, wiggly stripes
and broad bars, prominent in black
on white or gold backgrounds.
The warm weather brings an enor-I

Who Changed the Flow of the karun
In Persia Is a Mystery.

In Persia Is Mystery.
Arabistan lies at the head of the Per
sian gulf, its western boundary being
the Shatel- Arab, the great river formed
by the combined waters of the Tigris
and Euphrates. the right bank of which
Is in Persian territory. while the left
is In Turkish Arabia. Forty miles
above where 1t flows into the Persian
gulf the Shatel-Arab is joined by the
Karun, and the town of Mohammerah
stands at the junction of the two rivers,
the former clear green stream, the
latter thick and red.
In ancient times the Karun flowed
into the gulf and part Of the river still
runs along the old channel, but the
main stream has been diverted, three
miles above Mohammerah, into an arti-
fetal channel known geographically
as the Haffar canal
II Is impossible even to make guess
at the date of this wonderful work, not

whose farsightedness realized the enor-
nous advantage of joining up the two
water ways. Alexander the Great has
been suggested. but apparently for no
other reason than that he is a con-
venient and likely person to credit with
any ambitious enterprise. and that one
Of his many Alexandrias was built on
