TURNED TO POpLIn
FASHION RECOGNIZES MATERIAL
AS MOST DESIRABLE.
Supplies the Something Different
Which Designers So Much Affect
and Which Are Frequently
Found So Hard to Attain.

The absorbing desire of our women
for one-piece frocks as opposed to
suits, gives poplin a good chance for
acceptance, for it is one of the coolest
materials to be used as a blouse, after
the wash fabrics. 1t is being made
up in those loose, comfortable gar
ments that look quite negligent and
informal to the conservative woman
who believes in a fitted waistline and
strongly outlined silhouette, but
the younger set have no such con-
servatiye idea, SO they adopt this
loose, plated, half-belted rope. with
it's slightly low neck and rolling
collar, as relief from all the summer
gowns that have gone before
Poplin has not lent itself very often
this season to severe suits, as alpaca
and pongee have The tailors intro
duce a bit Of friVolity when they build
it into jacket and skirt, and in such
guise it is accepted for afternoon
usage.
One of the excellent models is a
gray silk pOplin with a short, box
plated skirt and a short, full, capelike
bolero that is worn over a thin, half
low, white chiffon bodice The bolero
has shoulder collar of lace in a bold
design, and the fariag sleeves, which
only reach to the elbows, are slashed
back and front, the openings edged
with buttons. Beneath this sleeve is a
three-quarter chiffon sleeve that is ar
ranged in deep puffs and finished with
Tuff1e. There is also large bow on
the right side.
In many of these pongee and pOplin
frocks there are sashes of the same
material in another color, or extra
wide belts folded in careless fashion
and finished at the lower edge with a
loose knot and two leafshaped ends.
For instance, dark-blue Irish poplin
has several of these sashes, one of
which is in brick-dust red
Another one of the tributes to hot
weather that fashion is making is in
the Jackets and bodices without
sleeves. There has been a tendency
toward this fashion running like a
thread through the whole fabric OF
he winter styles, but it has come to
tull strength at the approach of hot
weather. It's carried out in a variety
of ways, but it is especially accentuat-
ed in the taffeta gowns which are be-
ing worn at smart weddings, garden
parties and country club teas.
The sleeves which come from be-
meath these haif-fnished Jackets and
bodies are of chiffon, point d'esprft
or silk muslin, plain or lowered
There is one alluring rose-colored
taffeta frock launched for June. This
has short skirt covered with small
rufles from hip to hem, and the jacket.
which is easy and loose on the figure,
is nipped in at the waistline at the
sides. The material is slightly plated
there, and the consequent fullness
flares straight out from the waistline.
The long, loose armholes are cord
ed to attract attention, and the elbow
sleeves, which fall away from the
arms, are made of the white chiffon,
the same material as the high collar
which opens to the bust.

Then the Star TWinkled.

Long had he worshiped her at a dis
lance, but his shyness prevented him
from proposing.
Then, one night, for the sweet sake
of charity, a theatrical performance
took place, in which the charmer was
the leading woman and more adorable
than ever Afterwards the shy ad
mirer drew near his sweetheart, made
valiant by the sight of her beauty.
You are the star of the evening" he
said, as they stood alone in a corner.
You are the first to tell me so, "
said the damsel, with happy blush.
Then" he retorted promptly, may
| claim my reward as an astronomer?
The woman looked puzzled.
What reward?" she asked.

to the star l have discovered" the
young man said, speaking boldly at
last.-Answers, London.

Secret Is in Proper Care.

l have a friend who has about one
fourth the allowance that | have for
clothes, and yet she is one of the best
dressed girls / know. l learned the
secret last year when I spent week
end at her home.
We went up to her room to take Off
our things. She slipped off her coat
and skirt, brushed them and hung
them on a combination hanger and
put them away in the closet in q huge
paper bag. Then she shook out her
furs, brushed her hat and put both
into boxes on the shelf When she
opened her closet door | saw her
clothes hanging in a neat row, each
hanger in it's own brown paper cover.
She said paper was much better for
these bags than muslin, because the
dust couldn't possibly get through it.
She next took off her shoes, took a
brush from a shoe bag hanging on the
closet door, brushed the dust from
them, fitted them over the shoe trees
that were waiting for them in their
pockets and put them in their places,
putting On a pair Of house slippers.
She then got into a simple little house
frock, and as she stopped at the mir
ror to brush her hair she folded her
veil and gloves, and opening the top
drawer, which was divided into COM
partments by strips OF thin board, put
them in their places.
1t only took very few minutes to
do all this, and it meant that when we
left the house the next morning she
would look as If she had just stepped
out of one of her own bandboxes.
l have prodted by this lesson and
have found that my things last twice
as long, and / feel sure that l am
always well groomed. 1t certainly is
worth the little trouble it takes.

Blue of the Hour.

Do you know all about the latest
shade Of blue? 1t is called Russian
blue, is Of greenish cast, and is ultra
smart when made into frocks Of chit
fon or taffeta or of the two materials
combined One model in taffeta has
tight sleeves ending above the elbow,
and is eked out Of tbs wrist with ex-
eggeratedly pulled undersleeves OF
chiffon matching a premet collar
joined low on the chest with a self
bow. Another costume in Russian
blue taffeta consists of a ruf1e-covered
skirt and an 1880 basque, carrying
collar and sleeve ruffles in chiffon. Il
is the blue of the hour and hard to
find in moderator priced fabrics.

Line Turns in Fire Alarm,

Albert Brewer, eighteen, of Reilly
avenue, went fishing q few days ago
at Ivory Slough. The fish did not bite,
so Brewer shOuldered his pole and
started for home
At Marceau and Reilly avenues he
passed a fire alarm box The door
was open. The line caught the hook.
1t was the first bite Brewer had all
day. The line jerked the hook down
with such force that an alarm was
sounded.
Brewer heard the jingle of the alarm
and ran home. The police arrested him
ten minutes later and charged him
with turning in a false alarm.-St

Russian Embroidered Dresses.

Russian peasant embroidery in
black and white cross stitch is ad-
mirably suited to summer frocks of
heavy line. Of course bright colors
and color combinations are also to be
much used, and there is new metal
floss said to resist washing. Bead
embroidery is specially good for crepe
