The Youthful Note Prominent
i'm Summer Fashions
Satin and Serge Combinations Favored,
Also Figured and Plain Materials


Perhaps the most noticeable thing
about the summer styles is their de-
cided youthfulness; this is both in
line and coloring. The straight lined
frocks and suits of serge, gabardine,
taffeta and faille, lend grace and youth
to all types of figure. For instance,
a yoked, pleated frock of dark blue
serge trimmed with black taffeta may
be worn by the large woman or the
small one with equally good results.
One particularly good model worn by
a large woman, at an exhibition re-

POPE PLEADS FOR JEWS.

lished the following cablegram from
a special correspondent in Berne:
II have learned from an absolutely
reliable source that the Pope has pre-
pared an important document of great
interest to the Jewish people. 1t is
understood that this document will
prove of the same Importance and sig.

Innocent Nv, denouncing the ritual
murder accusations against the Jews
as false and based upon cruel legend.
"The present statement by the
Pope, who has interested himself so
deeply in peace. is devoted to the sor-
rows of Jews in the belligerent lands
and contains plea for justice and
fairness to the Jews"

CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOLS GOOD

students won three out of eight prizes
offered to high school pupils and this
year four out of twelve. The Catholic
high school has but one-eighth the
number of scholars of the public high
school and but one-fourteenth of the

ance to rather heavy figure. A pref.
ty adaptation OF the same style of

Blue Serge Frock.
Satin is effective with serge; and of
course the combination of navy blue
serge and black satin is quite as
popular this season again as it has
been for several seasons past. One
sees many smart serge frocks with
sleeveless coates of black satin, half
skirts of satin, sleeves of satin, and
the various other notions favored for
the modish combining of two or more
contrasting materials. Scarcely q
frock appears these days made strictly
of one material. 1t is q fad which
makes for economy and becoming
ness.
Hand Painting on Sport Costumes.
The sport costume is another youth
full notion. 1t imparts a delightful
feeling Of freedom, both of movement
and spirit. There is something very
becoming and exhilarating about the
combinations of vivid colorings in the
wide striped, checked, and printed
novelty fabrics now being used in
skirts and suits. The middy-blouse
costume is popular with all; one OF
the new materials being used for mid
dys is an adaptation of the old-fash.
Toned jean. This material wears quite
as we'll as its old-time blue predeces-
sor, is reasonably priced, and a most
satisfactory material generally for
MILDLY blouse and accompanying skirt.
An effective combination for a MILDLY
costume is one OF the bright awning
striped linens or ducks, with blouse
of plain white, collared and cuffed in
the stripes. Ono of New York's smart
shops is showing q MILDLY blouse
which flares smartly over the hips;
the idea is novel and attractive in its
up-to-dateness, quite in accordance
with the seasons silhouette.
The hand-painted or stencilled hat
has been a fad for some time, It's vivid
parrots, chandeliers, conventionalized
flowers and fruits. harmonizing and
blending in charmingly with the sport
suit or frock. While many of US have
misgivings as t. tho durability of the
colors when the sun takes hand, and
beats down mercilessly on their gor-
geous tones, still the idea is most at
tractive and becoming, and so easily
carried out, that even il the colors do
fade they may be quickly and readily
restored; therefore, we may go step
farther and have hand-painted neck
wear to match hat, or complete the
suit. Georgette crepe is usually the
material chosen for these collars and
ties, with now and then one Of Chi
nese crepe or a loosely woven linen.
The motifs range in coloring from
pale. softly tinted blossoms to gaily
plumaged birds, and wildly colored
flowers and fruits of tropical origin.
The notion is not confined to sport
suits by any means; many simple

HARpsHIPs OF CAMP.


Writing of the homecoming of one
of the Vermont companies that has
just returned from service on the
Mexican border, a correspondent at
Fort Ethan Allen says: The mem
bers of the company are in good
health. There have been some slight
indispositions in some cases due to
the eating of delicacies which fond
parents and admifing friends have
sent down, but nothing more" How
difficult It is for we Americans to rid
ourselves OF the idea that plain food
and work in the open air constitute n
hardship? We are all proud OF the
record made by the Vermont rosi-
ment down in Texas. Tho boys didn't
have to face the bullets OF Villas
half-civilized bandits. They are again
on their way to their homes, no gaps
in the ranks and no manned in the
hospitals They have shown self
sacrifice that is highly commendable
and by the large majority the service
was made at financial loss.
The boys are entitled to every bit
OF credit than can be extended to
them but it is to be doubted If any Of
them have really suffered physically
because OF their enlstments. 1t is
more than probable that large ma
jority of them have come back to Vcr-
mont in much better shape than when
they left the state. They were com
PEELED to keep regular hours, they ex-
ercised daily and because their camp
bin Of fare did not contain many "ap-
petizers' few of them ate more than
was good for them.
Many of the young men who went to
the border We're inside workers, en-
ployed in shops. Offices and stores
where the air is more or less vtiated
at ali times and the change from con
fnement OF this nature to the pure at
mosphere OF the Texas plains must
have been beneficial. Because of the
strenuous efforts OF the officers to
maintain the health Of the men there
was but little sickness in camp.
While it IS, Of course, impossible to
prove any such assertion. one would
be safe in making the statement that
the percentage of illness among the
men would have been greater had
they all remained at home and con
tinued the daily routine OF their lives.
The boys endured the rigors OF
camp life. they did not collapse under
the terrible heat OF the southland and
they escaped the fangs Of the deadly
rattlesnakes and the venomous insects
and reptiles of southern Texas. When
they arrived at their home camp ana
encountered mothers cooking then
some OF them fell out OF the ranks.
Mothers the wcrId over, God bless
them, like to see William eat the
things that William likes. Their So
licitude is not the best thing for VII
liam's digestion but through mothers
watchful care in other respects he
usually overcomes the handicap and
