Any combination of plain with fancy materials that are harmonious can be used to produce the effect shown here. The skirt is one of the new, double ones. There is a com plete under skirt that is made in two pieces and a three-piece over skirt and this over-skirt may be left plain. as it is on the figure, or draped over the hips as 1t is shown in one of the small views. The design is particu- larly well adapted to heavier material for the under skirt and transparent one for the over-szirt although it is by no means necessary to confine 1t to such use. Crepe with silk or plain silk with a figured could be utilized with good effect. The deep girdIe makes a generally becoming feature and a handsome one. The sleeves may be gathered into cuffs or made in bell shape. Some women will prefer one style, some the other but both are fashionable. The open neck with the rolling collar is always pretty but the neck can be made high with d pltiu ilOiil III pidNC Oi hliG NiOooCd- over portion if preferred. In one of the small views there is a suggestion for utilizing the blouse for lace or for bordered material. That treatment is very pretty both for the gown and for the separate bodice to be worn with tailored suit. Here, the center or crossed-over portions of the blouse match the main portion but they could be made of Georgette crepe, of chiffon or of net if daintier effect is wanted. Silk voile would be charm ing made just in this way with taf- feta for the under skirt, the girdle and trimming. The draped skirt would be pretty made of lowered taffeta over a plain or of net over silk for the evening gown; the drapery gives the essentially oldtime effect, conse- quently it seems especially well suited to such materials although it can be utilized for any that may be liked.
 For the medium size the bodice will require PA yards of material 27 inches wide, I$s yards 36 or A with IH yards 27 or 36 for the girdle and trim ming. For the under skirt will be 4 with 6A yards 27, A yards 36 or A

THE UNDISGUISED TRUTH

It was only the other day th2t We came across man who apparently annoyed as he became very profane The undisgused truth is that he swore
 like a trooper whatever that means. Anyhow to us he was very profane because never swear-hardly ever and when We do foreign language
 Even the old saying that it helps one to get rid of pent-up passion is unsound and swearing is never becoming to anymore than the use of vulgar language is becoming to woman. If at the very \beginnng of the year have taken the good reso- ufion to be strong all times, We will be able to owe rcome that feeling of being nasty in the of q, n words and that much better off at the end of it. f1ot only in the saving of energy but We shall not annoy anyone.

AFTER PLEASURE
annoy anyone

This year with most of us, 1t was case of "peasure before business" We celebrated the frs. day of the year with abundance of ndoience, con sequenty have allowed work to accumulate ;hei v be done, therefore must buckle down and help to shove the wheel that makes the world go round as it were It is very we'll to be and amuse others but We soon get tired of that and turn to our work with pleasure. Without work life would not be worth living.
 Wealth has never purchased lasting happiness; and while wealth can purchase ideness, idenes is only 2 curse. As matter of fact, work is the greatest blessing of mankind; and when men come to realize that the great reward for labor is the consciousness of work well done instead of the a. mount of wage received We shall have ascended one plane nearer to happiness

OUT OF TUNE
(From theCcmmercial Appeal)

(From theCommercial Appea)
 We must fulfill earthly mission. We must put best in what edo, and when the door of old age is opened when grope in the darkness and wish to leave some pleasant reminder of what We have been, while hopelessly and helpessly ou! of tune, permit some to touch our dis cords and leave pleasant reminder of what have been and what we may hope to be.
 Do not abuse the family piano because it is sweet ly out of tune Think what it at time and live accordingly When the old instrument is sent to the scrap heap by unsympathetic people, it its dis cordant strings could sing again, they would sing with the sweet expression of the soul, the pas' would become rose-hued, the dark days would bt touched with the sunshine of pleasant recolections the drab days of the present would be pushed aside we would become young again, confident, bouyan and hopeful.
 The instrument of life that harmonZes early days may some time become sweetly out of tune This should not discourage us. We but lend listening ear to the dscordant sounds and imagine the exquisite harmony that has been lost amidst the crowding years.

NEIGHBORS

 Occasionally writer makes big hit by very simple device. He discovers his neghbors Most of us live door people for years and visit them on the front porch and in while we call on them. But rarely get really acquainted.
 And then McCutcheon along, Web ster, or Briggs or a George Ade Fatty Lewis and finds out that neighbor is human being. It is sewed on and that his children have the croup, and that the baby keeps the family awake all night, and that in general he is romantic character.
 It IS possible that your neighbors might be as interesting as those of the gentlemen just mentioned if you would take the pains to know them
