Self Praise, No Praise

Irving Cobb, the famous war.
correspondent, story writer and lee,
turer, was approached by a stranger
who asked him what sort Of a fell
low Cobb was. Cobb replied:
"Cobb is related to my wife
by marriage, and if you don't
object TO a brief sketch, with all
the technlcaliues eliminated,
should say that IN appearance he IS
rather bulky, standing six-feet high,
not especially beautiful, a light
roam IN color with a black name.
His figure IA undecided, but might
be called bunchY in places. lie be-
longs TO several clubs, including the
Yonkers Pressing Club and the Park
Hill Democratic Marching Club,
and has always, like his father, who
was a Confederate soldier, voted
the Democratic ticket. He has bad
one wife and one child and still has
them. In religion he is an limo
cent Bystander."

Where the neck is really low, the

thought. They are Frenchy, white
and made for warm weather; furth
er scrutiny seems a sacrilege. Since
they come from the great fashion
center, their long sleeves, and short
sleeves, graceful V.neck, soft frills
and delicate inserts of embroidery
will be copied, modified and twisted
about, again and again, in the
blouses that are made on this side
of the Atlantic.
Already the jabot frlll, which
originated IN Paris, is finding favor
here. One of the blouse above,
made of white Swiss in true French
fashion, shows this feature. 1t
also has the famous two-in one col
lar, which can be worn high or
turned low, and the raglan sleeve,
which has come to be regarded as a
staple. 1t is rumored from the
other side that drop shoulders are
the next step IN blouses; in view,
however, of the popularity of the
regulation sleeve, it will take con.
siderable time to bring about the
change. Certainly the comfort of
the high shoulder IN wash waists
will not be relinquished readily,
even if the drop shoulder style is
easier to make.
At the present time, the set IN
sleeve dominates the fashion, so far
as tailored blouses are concerned,
except for now and then a raglan.
The treatment of the neck marks
the real difference in styles. Stocks
and high collars were, in the early
season, the ultra mode, but these
have given way gradually to the
broad Quaker collars, especially for
the younger women. These collars
come detached, to wear with any
blouse or dress, IN sets with cuffs TO
match, The shops show them in

OUR WEEKLY

Separate Waists and Skirts as
Smart as One Piece Dresses,
When Topped With a Fashion
able Silk Jacket
New York, June 90.

New York, June 90,
In tins day Of reviyals, it is not
surprising that blouses again Gnd
favor, Summer suits foster their
popularity. Indeed the separate
waist aud skirt may be as smart as
the one piece frook, provided there
is a silk coat to top the costume.
Paris takes special delight in
turning out new surprises m sheer
waists. There isno name in blouse,
dom that quite covers these trans.
parent confeotions Of the famous
oouturieres. Lingerie is too frilly,
and tailored Is entirely out Of the
question, for who would ever call a
pin,tucked Swiss or organdy by so
harsh a name? They are original
in contour. Strange As It may
seem, coming from Paris, the
source Of true color, they are white,
pure white; orispness, the chief
charm OF the garment, bespeaking
loudly the midsummer they are
made for.
The mystic charm Of the French
white wear is woven IN every stitch
Of these waists; style Is a secondary

A Bodice Effect in Silk Under a Net
Waist, and a Military Model
with Strapped Pockets
MCCALL

The upper illustration is one of
the very newest blouses of this type
showing the use of satin IN a bodice
effect under the net. The short
sleeves are the flowing style, with
the circular cuff, used so much
where a dressy effect is desu ed.
Some of the extreme models show
Pocahontas star herald., 1915-06-25

hemsutched, or with an inch wide
strip Of oolored organdy or figured
eretonne around tie edge. Whole
collars Of cretonuo are offered, too;
they are extremely attractive on the
blue and pink linen houses. The
style of the waist must be- plain TO
carry these broad collars we'll.
Many Of the new striped blouses
show them. There is one model m
particular, a broad awning stripe,
which has been shown from one end
OF the town TO the other-not al.
ways m the same material, but
nevertheless always having the
same general appearance, for all Of
these waists are cut absolutely plain,
Sometimes the material is linen,
again MULE, aud even crepe; but the
stripes are ever the broad green,
blue, punk or black, and the collar
aud cuffs always the same Quaker
style Of sheer transparent orgaudy.
This craze for stripes grows more
pronounced as the season advances.
Not only are the wide awning
stripes popular, bat the narrow
blazer and candy stripes are featured
too, in crepe de Chine aud cotton
crepes. There is an especially at.
traotiye crepe de Chine on the
market with saun stripes. This is
made up mostly in the PLAIN tailored
blouses with the two.in.one stock
collars.
Pougees are also used in this
type Of waist, as well as white, and
baby flesh pink crepe de Chine,
Georgette crepes, and deeper rose
and soldat blue linens. One mii-
tary blouse is shown in pongee with
slipped pocket low IN front, This
waist has a stock.oollar Of black
silk, with flaring points of white
organdY. 1t is a stunning model
for a pongee coat suit, especially
when worn with one Of the new
white kId belts striped with black
patent leather. The roar Of the
cannon is echoed IN other waists of
the season. Rose and blue linen
are used TO carry out the effect.
Either the waist is made Of rose
linen, with the collar and cuffs
faced with blue, or vice versa, with
brass buttons down the front.
None OF these waists touch the
vogue of the chiffon, net OF lace
blouse. Not eAen the French waist
Of white can take their place, for
the dress waist must necessarily
blend in with the color Of the skirt
TO made complete costume.
When the coat Is removed at the
restaurant, theater, or church, many
of the new blouses give the costume
the appearance of one piece dress.
In chiffon models, black embroider-
ed III silver, brown and blue pre-.
dominate, as in the suits themselves,
while the nets and laces are white,
or gold, over hesh.colored shiffon.
Those are usually combined with
silk or satin.

GET RID OF.

Anybody got any extra Billy goats
or ostriches they want someone else
to feed for them this winter?
If SO, it may be possible - effect
some kind of an arrangement with
President Joe Cook, of the Mississippi
Normal College.
Prof. Cook has on hand now a small
mountain of battered and mashed-fiat
Itin cans. This mountain is growing

dents at the college. Before very
many more weeks, it will be some
mountain, and the educational direc-
tor will have to either find some pace
to dump the tins, or else turn lot Of
goats or other tin-eating animals
aloose out there. Fs
Prof. Cook has the proud distinction
of being the inventor of machine
for crushing fiat and smashing all
tin cans and buckets of all kinds that
accumulate at the college. When a
can is mashed fiat it no longer fur
nishes breeding place for mosquitoes
or flies. 1t is wholly unfit for any
further habitation. The smashing ma,
chimes are now being manufactured
and likely win be placed on the mar.
ket for general use after while.
Mr.. Cook is now working on some
plan to utilize the tin and other use
ful parts after the machine has mash
ed it flat. Until this is done. the til
mountain will continue to grow.
So bring on your goat.
