That very graceful garment, the long
tunic, which appeared and took the
world of fashion by storm late last
summer, is with US again. Sometimes
1t is an overdress as long as the under
skirt, but often it hardly differs at all
from the runic of last season. The
skirt under it has grown wider, al
though it is often considerably mar
rover than the tunic But it may be
equally wide, and in either case is
good style.
One need only. to examine the gown
of embroidered wolfe shown here to
appreciate the charming outlines of
the tunic skirt and to realize that a
gown put together on such good lines
is something more than merely fash
lonable. The style is SO pleasing that
1t has lasting qualities. The bodice
is cut on simple and graceful lines
also. This is model that might be
safely chosen for gown of handsome
lace, with the expectation that little
change need be made in it from season
to season.
But the model as pictured is made OF
plain and machine-embroider wolfe,
not at all expensive. 1t is washable,
durable, and beautiful fabric. 1t can
be bought in narrow or wide widths,

and with embroidery in colors, as well
as white, on white ground. Wolfe is
manufactured in an endless variety of
embroidered patterns.
The underskirt, in the dress pic
tured, is fitted about the hips and cut
with moderate fare. It is finished
with a three-inch hem. The tunic is
fitted to the figure by means of tucks,
graduated in length and extending be-
low the hips. They are shorter at the
front. The tunic dips trifle at the
front, and this slight dip is repeated in
the bodice.
The bodice is cut like plain blouse,
with the fullness gathered in at the
bottom and confined under a girdle
made of the embroidered scallops. 1t
fits the figure vaguely like short
jacket The neck is finished with
turnover collar of lace, and the same
lace is used for the puffs and frills
about the sleeves.
A silk scarf tie finishes the dressing
of the neck. This design is one that
seems as well suited to the matron as
to the maid, and nothing prettier can
be found for graduation gowns or for
the useful white dress for midsummer.

Most persons in this country have

PEELED to eat bread made wholly or
partly of potato flour. Yet here come
experts of the home economics de-
partment OF Cornell telling us that
potatoes and meat may be better
food combination than bread and
meat
These experts declare that there is
good reason for favoring potatoes.
Meat, eggs and cereals, they say, con-
tain mineral elements which give an
excess of acids, while vegetables,
fruit and milk have an excess of
bases that neutralize acid. Meat pro-
duces an excess of acid and the food
that accompanies it should, there
fore, give an excess of alkali Rice,
bread, macaroni and cornmeal pro-
duce acid, and SO do not fill the need.
But potatoes are the natural accom-
panimenr VI meat, because they pro-
duce bases. Most persons" accord
ing to these experts, should make it
q point to eat more potatoes than they
are now consuming"

A young woman suing a young man
for damages after the Yale-West Point
football game of several seasons ago,
declares he broke her rib by kicking
her. The defendant admits the act,
but claims it was only friendly
kick. He should have reflected before
indulging in this style of airy per-
siflage that women have VIGOROUSLY
no sense of humor.
Every now and then a hazing, gen.
orally fatal, which includes torture as
well as death, is recorded in the daily
news. 1t is time that this peculiar
sort of humor should be stripped of
its jocular features, treated as MUIR
der and punished as such. A few
convictions and sentences would go
far towards lessening the popularity
of the sport.

Simplicity in skirts.

According to the Dry Goods Econo-

skirts are made very plain, with more
or less flare around the hem. This

In the dressy suits the skirts are

material silk braid or velvet ribbon,

P. p. Claxton, United States COM
missioner of education, writing to the
secretary of the interior on the further
development of the domestic arts and
sciences, says the American home is
the most important of all institutions
in the country. Commissioner Clax-
ton, who Games from Tennessee, said
of the home and family: "All their ac-
tivities proceed from it and return to
it. Therefore, of all the arts those
pertaining to home making are the
most important, and of all the sci
ences those which find their applica-
ton in the home, making us intelli-
gent about the home and it's needs, are
the most significant. If the schools
are to assist in making us intelligent
about the life we live and the work
we do, they must provide literally for
instruction in these arts and sciences.
Within the last two or three decades
educators and people generally have
become conscious of this fact as
never before, and gradually the schools
are being readjusted to meet the new
demands. Probably they have never
undertaken a more important or diff
cult task, and there is constant need
for information in regard to methods
adopted and results obtained"

TO HOLD A HUSBAND.

"A Chicago organization devoted to
the uplift By card index, the bureau
of social welfare, has been bending
its altruistic energies to the solution
of the highly important question,
why do husbands desert their
wives?" 1t has been answered in vari-
GUS ways heretofore by rash persons
nnacquainted with the principles of
sociology. But this survey" is Off
cial and authoritative. One of the
laws" discovered by it is calculated
TO pain and astonish The husbands
who "earn relatively large salaries
hold the record for loving and riding
away. The common laborer" is
more faithful Is this case of higher
morality or less money? Perhaps the
fault is mainly that of the women
whose lives are easy, says Philadel-
phia Ledger. The wife who is to rule
a husband and have a husband must
be big physically, good cook, sweet.
tempered, helpful, interested, affec-
tionate and loyal, and have children"
This, to paraphrase Lancelot Gobbo,
is simple coming in for one poor
woman. He would have a heart of
brass who would desert creature so
little lower than the angels Could
even one with relatively high salary
be guilty of such baseness? Yet the
conclusion that only the wives of com
mon laborers fill this enticing bill
seems little unfair to the thousands
of charming women in more exalted
sphere. The bureau of social welfare
should explain more clearly why
their husbands desert them.

IS QUITE ORTHODOX.

To not few readers Of the English
and American notes. the word ''iden-
tic which was used by both govern
ments, must have seemed a novel and
rather unpleasing substitute for or
shortening of the familiar identical.
The word has long been used. how
ever, in diplomatic correspondence
and documents, no doubt because of
the influence exerted by French, once
the common language of international
exchanges and still familiar to more
diplomats than any other one tongue.
The French say and write ''identique,
and of that eidentic' is a natural
translation. The shorter form, now
ever, has a valid claim for preference.
in that it says exactly what Identical"

The best values that have been
shown in shopping bags within the
memory of the Oldest shopper are to
be found in the leather goods depart
ments just now. These bags are shown
in many shapes, (most of them prac-

and morocco are the most popular
rieties to choose from. Black con-
tinues to be the favorite color, with
tans and browns next in Importance,

to match suit or some dress acces-

Four bags of pin seal are shown
here in black. Two Of them are sup
piled with very complete fittings They
are soft, and the leather in three of
them is gathered on to the frame, so
that they are more roomy than their
size would indicate.
The bag at the upper left-hand cor
ner is to be recommended to the tour

mirror fastened to the frame by bit
