Consider We'll the Color
 Of Your New Gowns

MUCH of the success of gown de-
 bends on it's color. Soft, dainty tints predispose one at the start in fla vor of a frock, while shrieking, blazing shades are apt to repel on first sight. Only the most strikingly plain designs can carry off a vivid color, while pas tel shaded material can be done up in the most complicated of models.
 This years taffetas are so soft in weave that they resemble foulards. The colors, too, are beautifully soft for evening gowns. One sees a great many combinations in colors in evening gowns. For example. one little frock seen recently was done in two shades of pink pussy willow silk. a dark tone and a lighter one. The skirt was a se- ries of gores, alternating the light and dark shades to a very stunning effect. The scalloped skirt was finished off with rows of tiny ruffies to give it this years necessary fullness.
 Those who prOphesied that high neck bands would not really arrive till the winter have been proved false prophets. With truly feminine inconsequence we have elected to begin them in the sum- mer. and all the new blouses, especially those for afternoon wear, are cut with

THE SUNNY SIDE OF LIFE

turn our sorrow over and over in our minds, seeing in it ever new phases of misfortune? No! Let us stand up be- meath It's weight, no matter how heavy the load may seem, and, with our eyes nXed on the glimmer of light, let us walk swiftly out of the dark paths into the sunlight.
 once we have learned to walk on the sunny side of life darkness will have no further terrors for us, for we will carry our sunshine around with us in the depths of our hearts. The sunshine of the mind is far warmer and brighter than the sunshine which we see and feel with our physical senses. Once We have gained the true sense of real mental sunshine we will have the means to pull ourselves out of ev- cry slough of despond without any out side aid. For just as Bunyan's "Pil- grim's Progress was mental, so it is with all of our journeys through life What we really accomplish must first be worked out in mind.
 Learning to pick out the gleam of light from the dark path, learning how to avoid the sloughs of despond and how to walk in the sunshine is not easy, but even the attempt at learning these leSSOIS UIluSS LHe reward or happiness and peace. Every little effort in the right direction brings such beautiful returns that the only wonder is that so few of us make the effort
 Now is the time to try. Let us be- gin today the attempt which will lead us into the sunny paths of life In- stead of thinking of the petty annoy ances of the day, which stay in our minds, ranking and irritating, let us wipe out the memory of them. When a disturbing, unpleasant thought comes to trouble us let us so fill our minds i with lovely thoughts that there will 1 be no room for the inharmonious ele- ment
 | It is only a small beginning to wipe the discordant thoughts out of our minds, but by beginning so we grow ac- customed to harboring only beautiful ideas, and when the time of big trouble comes we will know how to meet it in the right way. Once the mind has learned to know only lovely things it will automatically seek the silver lining when the dark cloud appears an the horizon.

|srNHERE are several things which
 have made women pay more at- tention within the past few years to keeping down their flesh than they had been doing," says pr. Watson l.. Saw age. Dress had a good deal to do with it in the first place. There came first the sheathlike gown, which showed ev- cry superf1uous ounce of flesh, and about the same time came the slit skirt, exposing the ankle.
 Then about this time there came into the public eye number of persons whose slenderness was noticeable. There was Annette Kellermann in swimming, who was a slender slip of a girl. All those things influence persons.
 "No one need have superfiuous flesh. It depends upon herself. The flesh may be due to three things-to the manner of eating, dressing or the lack of exercise It does not depend upon the amount eaten so much as what is eaten or going long time without food and then eating a hearty meal. That is a great secret. We never keep a meal from fat man, but we put flesh on a thin one by letting him get very hun gry and then feeding him. Any re- striction in dress which affects the cir culation may produce flesh.
 Most persons who want to reduce are beyond middle age. The athletic girl of today may be among the women who will reduce tomorrow. It is usual ly the case with a man athlete that when he drops athletics he puts on flesh Go to any of the mems athletic clubs and notice the older men who are sitting around-the 'has-beenS' of ath-
 letics You will usually see that they have waists twice the diameter of what they were when they were in train
 ,g. The athletic girl will be likely to
 ., much the same thing. It is the wo-
 an who has married and settled down
 who begins to put on 1esh.''
 One of the newest methods for re- ducing flesh is in the form of mechani-
 cal rollers,' and they come from Chi cago They are the invention of a man who made a fortune in mining devices and retired to enjoy his wealth. In this recent invention he turned his skill to a flesh reducer to aid a friend. This was a woman who had been resorting
 to the practice of rolling. Most stout l women in the privacy of their own

high collars of organdie or batiste, with flaring points which dart outward from beneath the ears. 1t cannot be denied that they are exceedingly smart, and there are certain phases of them which tempt one to forget and forsake the more comfortable low neCked waists.
 A charming, dressy waist seen recent- ly had a deep yoke and front composed of plain forgetmenot blue georgette crape, fastening from the top of the col- lar band right down the front with a row of tiny coral buttons. The sleeves and whole lower part were of the mate- rial. finely accordion plaited.
 Fine tucks form the sole ornamental tion of many blouses and have a very pretty effect, while practically all fas- tenings are buttons, large or small As has been said collars will play the role this season as regards the smartness or the waist.
 Even the high "choker." carried out in finest transparent lawn and held up by invisible bonings. are among the novelties; also deep frill of wired chiffon or soft muslin rising up all round so as to almost conceal the chin.

chanical horses, rowing boats and as fine waist reducer which, if the work put into it was done on a farm, would nearly blow field, and there are all sorts of games which can help also.
 It used to be said that yielding a broom was one of the best flesh re- ducers known and that the only reason it was not used more was because it was useful and did not cost anything. With the 999 kinds of microbes that are now known to exist in dust and the use. of the vacuum cleaner, methods which used to be considered sane and sensi- ble are now taboo. Reducing of any kind, however, is not to be recommend ed to the woman of slender purse, for it means too many changes of wardrobe. To lose six inches around the waist means a new gown.
