Exceptions in the cases of such Se-

and Edomites it is difficult If not i'm.

BAR ELBOWS AND COCKTAILS

After 1t had been decided that ell

Jolly informal luncheons and dinners.
Women took up the custom at res

however, 1t is again bad form for a
woman to take cocktails at a public

Dark Blue Patent Leather.

Leaping from philosophy to detail,
there was never such a fashion for
patent leather as now. 1t has been
brought out in dark blue, an absolute
innovation. Belts, collar and cuffs,
hens to street suits. pockets and
many other accessories are fashioned
of it.
Khaki colored serge and gabardine
are in favor, more so than the khaki
itself. Short jackets that have huge
pockets above and below the belt, fas
tened over with a pointed flap and. a
brass button, are made by all the
tailors. And as for military buttons

Scotch EeIs.

When so many British trawlers have
been commandeered and so few Of the
others can venture out. why is there
not a more systematic slaughter of
freshwater eels and of the conger cells
that lurk about the masonry of old
piers and other breakwaters? The
rivers of Scotland swarm with cells,
which are almost completely neglect
ed as a means of making money by
the natives, who themselves do not
eat eels. Fish from the sea will grow
scarcer and scarcer, consequently
dearer and dearer. as the war goes on,

WHAT FASHION HAS CHANGED
Silhouette of Skirt Most Noticeable
Modification of Cllnglng Draperies
Is Most Apparent.

The most radical change is in the sill
houette of the skirt. From the narrow
clinging skirt of last year to the wide
flaring, circular model Of today is
long step, both figuratively and literal
ly. The change, nevertheless, is not
so difficult as it may appear at first
sight. For example. the long tunic
skirt can be charmingly disguised and
renovated by the addition of a wide
band of embroidery or of goods OF
some contrasting color at the hem.
This band will give tunics the neces'
sary length and flare of the new skirts
The draped skirt often has in it ma
terial enough to be entirely recut, or
it may be heightened from the waist
by the addition of a new, wide girdle
or yoke attached to the fullest part.
For the most scant and clinging Of
last years skirts only one renovation
is possible, but it is a charming one.
Using the skirt as a foundation, build
on this a series of ruffies or fiounces,
or veil it with frill. fiaring overskirt.

afternoon in the wearing of velvet
frocks. These usually have over
blouses or long-waisted effects with
the top skirt of velvet and the short
underskirt of saith or plated chif-

belt or sash completes a very smart
little costume which can be worn
