KHAKI-KOOL is SERVICEABLE AND
WILL NOT SHOW THE CREASES

NTUCH has been said about fall
Wl materials and colorlngs, but
l am going to bark back once
again to summer styles. and say
Just a bit about late summer suits.
The girl who is fortunate-or un-
fortunate-enough to go on
vacation late In August, or even
early September, needs a summer
or fall suit. depending on where
she chooses to vacate. The cool
seashore is seldom unpleasantly
cool II she carries an ordinary
serge or even silk coat suit. This
does very well for everyday wear,
and. of course, she can be right
up to the minute and comfortable,
too. If she wears white or rose
fox as an accompaniment.
One of the seasons most promi-
nent fabrics is a real "made-in-
America" material, and no one
would say 1t was inferior to the
imported goods in any respect,

khakl-kool. and it is both smart
and practical. 1t has all the ad-
vantages of linen at its best with
out the prime fault of linen-it
muses. so easily. Khaki-kool will
wear a whole season without being
pressed. II the wearer Is ordi-
narily careful.
This little street suit is simple
in the extreme. The coat Is a
beIted-in model, with a shawl col
lar and long, trimmed
sleeves. The front OF the coat is
cut away, with Sits at the sides,
trimmed with buttons and eyelets.
Notice the deep band, tailor
stitched, which trims the edge Of
the short coat. The ekirt is alb
solutely plain, with side plaits to
give fulness. The hat, by the way,
is a satin faced Panama, with a
grosgrain bandeau and tiny mer-
curry wings at the front.

A Game for the Stay-at-Homes

And what fun they did have! Such
secrets from father and whisperings and
poundngs-oh, dear, but 1t was fun!
The next Sunday morning father said,
why are you all in such a hurry to get
through breakfast? Anybody would think
you were going away for the day!"
I'VE are" replied Jack land how his
eyes did sparkleD; "and you are going
too. We are all going boating! Come"
They followed Jack into the back yard
and what do you suppose they found?
Back of the sun1owers screened by the
tall golden glows so that civilization
seemed far away, stood a broad, comfort
able raft! II was perched on rollers SO
that 1t rocked just a bit unless you
stepped carefully. On the raft wis a
dollhouse. a housekeeping cupboard and
every kind of comfort for a long cruise

told us how" cried the three happy chill
dren, "and we're going to cruise here all
summer!" And so they did, and such fun
as they had you will never know until
you make "yard-boat" for yourself.

French Fashions

Cheruit. who introduced smock-
ing this year, or should say re-
vived shocking, has scored an
other success, for 1t is used on
frocks and blouses for women.
Smoking has long been used for
children's clothes, and with charm
ing effect, and, indeed, there is
scarcely a cleverer method OF hold
ing in the bouffant fulness around
the hips than by shocking.
Bell-shaped sleeves and Elton
Jackets are equally smart.
Tuclks OF every width and ruff
fies, too. form the modish trim
ming on the fiaring skirts.
Foulard and taffeta frocks show
a liberal use Of chiffon, net, tulle,
lace or silk gauze.
White net and silver lace is a
favorite combination for summer
evening gowns. This usually
forms tunics or founces over
underskirts OF silk,
White lace frOcks for afternoon
are quite the rage.
White satin hats are considered
quite smart for summer wear.
White leather with patent
leather trimmings forms many OF
the modish belts and bags for
summer.

Style

Styles a queer and whimsy dame,
Odd the notions that she gets;
Freakishly she plays her game,
Strange the fashion that she sets.
Now and then 1t seems to me
Her DEGREES are wisdom's mockings;
Who'd have ever thought that she
Would insist on yellow stockings?
She has rigged up funny hats
For the young and old TO wear.
Ordered phony curls and rats
Just to supplement her hair
Narrowed skirts, or built them out
Like the wrapping on a cello;
Now she rules for thin or stout
Hosiery of fawn and yellow.
But II you are friends with style,
Mr.. Merchantmen, all is well;
If on you she's pleased to smile,
Anything you've got to sell,
II she says that it's correct,
There will be an end to knockings;
Who but Style would e'er expect
Them to fall for yellow stocklngs7

PROUD AND HAPPY MOTHERS
OF KENSINGTON BABIES
Awarded Prizes for Perfection of Their Offspring IN Contest Hello
Under the Auspices Of Free OsteopGthc
Clinic

prizes to keep until the babies them
selves shall grow old enough TO know OF
their fame and good fortune.
The first choice of the judges was
Walter Newly, the son of William and
Anna Newby, of 225O Ritter street. Little
Walter, who is just % months old, weighs
27A pounds and measures 1874 inches
from the tip of his toes to the top of
his head. Out of 1000 possible points for
perfection Walter received 975. The prize
was SIS in gold.
The second choice was S-months-old
Viola Werner. whose parents John and
Phoebe, live at 2t09 Adams street. Miss
Viola weighs just 16A pounds and meas
ures 27h inches. The judges decided
that Miss Viola was only 40 points away
from perfection, and so awarded her $50
out of a possible 1000 points. The prize
for Viola was $40.
The third choice went to Emmanuel
Hansen. who is just a few days past 8
months old. His parents, John and Cath
crime Hansen, OF 2042 Martha street, have
six other children, but they readily agree
that Emmanuel Is the most perfect-in-
deed they think he is the most perfect in
Kenslngton. Emmanuel is 211k inches
tall and weighs 1874 pounds. The prize
for him was S..
The primary purpose of the contest was
to acquaint the Kensington mothers with
the work done by the Free Osteopathic
Clinic, and the contest was so success
full that it was decided to make 1t an
annual affair. The contest opened on
July II with religious health talk by
DR.. Alpha M. F1ack, dean of the Phila-
delphia College of Osteopathy. And
throughout the week and a half promi
nent physicians gave talks upon the
care of the baby's health and any ques-
tions that the mothers might wish to ask
were carefully answered.
The Rev. Dr. S. K. Mcconnell. pastor
OF the church, was directly in charge of
all the work and the clinic was super
vlsed by Dr. Ira Drew, professor of
anatomy at the Philadelphia College of
Osteopathy DR.. Irving w. Turner had
charge of the physical work and the
mental care of each baby was looked
after by DR.. Muriel Lichtenberger.
The other doctors and nurses assisting
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1915-07-21

were DR.. Edward Drew, DR.. Nettie Tur-
ner, DR.. Earl Huntington, Or. Irving
whalley, Miss katherine Fenlon and
Miss Blanch Price.
The Free Osteopathic Clinic was es-
tablished at the church a little more
than n year and half ago by the Rev.
Alexander Leo. When Mr.. Leo was
transferred to another church his work
was followed by his successor, Doctor
Mcconnell One hundred and thirty
seven children have been treated at the
clinics and in several cases remarkable
cures have been effected. The clinic is
open each Thursday afternoon at
o'clock, and each mother is required to
pay 10 cents to have her baby entered.
The medicine and the milk are furnished
by Kensington residents who have inter-
ested themselves In the work.
Perhaps the most remarkable case ever
treated by the doctors at the clinic is
that of 5-year-old Mary Slavin, of 2i25
East Norris street. Little Mary was the
first child entered, and at that time she
was unable to walk or play or do anything
that the other little girls did because
she was suffering from a displaced hip
bone She had been examined at several
hospitals and pronounced lncurable.
Then her mother heard of the Free
Osteupathic Clinic and brought little
Mary with the hope that she might be
benefited. Instead she was entirely cured
after 16 treatments and her mother and
all her friends regard her cure almost as
miracle. Today she can jump, romp,
run, and, in fact, do anything that any
5-year-old girl can do. And all this is
due to the free clinic, and this is just
one OF the reasons why the mothers in
Kensington regard the clinic so highly

H1HERE are three very happy mothers
l. in Kenslngton today. Perhaps there
are more than three; but at any rate
there are three mothers who are much
happier than all the others. The reason
and mother will agree 1t is good one-is
that their babies have been judged the
most perfect in all Kensington, The
Judges, too, we're alls doctors and nurses
and SO they certainly must know.
The three most perfect babies were
chosen from 1870 entrants in the contest
under the direction of the Free Osteo-
pathic Clinic of the East Montgomery
Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church,
Frankford and Montgomery avenues.
The entries were made on July 13, Ia and
Is. and the decision of the judges was
announced late yesterday afternoon, and
