we choose red and green, we choose

There is also a soft leather tone in

qufsfte designs are developed in silver
tissues, cloth of silver, silver tulle or
used effectively to fashion a sleeveless

The bodice is Of the fish net over a

with bands of crystal beads which pass
over the shoulders and extend into

The proposition that the tendency
toward Spanish costumes means an
adoption of that scheme of dressing
may cause dfsmay among large ma
jority of women who do not care to
look like Spanish portraits. There is
no reason COR so deep a feeling as
alarm, even granting the fact that we
may take Goya and Velasquez as our
inspiration.
The French designers may have en-
phasized their aim by presenting the
new gowns in the manner of portraits,
but that is only an admirable and
artistic way to give an overemphasis
to an idea When the Russian ballet
set Paris on fire two years ago (that
same ballet that appears here this

clothes, and its influence died out only
a half year ago; but this does not

Important Rules For the Motor Woman
e - - HERE ARE GLOVES FOR SPORTS x x e

EVERY motorist should be made to
feel the responsible gravity OF
safely and sanely driving her car
across railroad tracks according to
some practical method, and it is only
when she does that the needless loss of
money and lives will be averted-
First, she should slow up at all cross
ings and, if a dangerous one, come to
full stop. In either slowing up or in
stopping it is imperative to have the
spark and throttle set at a point where
the motor will run its slowest without
stopping, as otherwise the unnecessary
noise of the motor may prevent hear
ing an approaching train.
Having decided that all is clear, she
should not attempt to cross the tracks
on high speed after slowing down, but
should shift into second" This will
give ability for a very rapid pickup if
necessary. After full stop she should
start on first" with the motor run
ming fairly fast, so that it is not liable
to "stalf' in starting. She should con-
tinue over the tracks on first and
not attempt to change into second
unless she is a very good driver, as the
motor might "sta1l'' in changing speeds.
to change is some advan-
tage, as once the car is under way it
can pick up more rapidly on second
than on first
Should the motor ever 'stalT' on the
tracks one should get out and push i'm
mediately and not try to start the mo-
tor unless there is an electric starter
with plenty of time.
Il The car must be pushed one can

Among white linen batistes are those
with polka dots the size of a very small
pea in emerald, wine red, deep purple,
burnt orange, brown or navy. These
colors give the charm of novelty to a
commonplace design. -
Heavy cotton fabrics in pop1in, pique
and gaberdine are in checks, bl ock plaids
and stripes. White corduroys, otto
mans, oxford weaves, waffle checks,
plain and fancy gaberdines and piques
are used for separate skirts.
The question of brocades has become
an important one. They are used in a
lavish manner for afternoon and even
ing clothes, forNgowns as well as wraps,
for hats as well as shoes. The price
of any kind of good brocade is beyond
the average purse, and the generous
amount of it that one sees floating
around all the costumes of the
moment gives reasonably clear idea
of the growing extravaganza in clothes
this season.
There is considerable variation in the
treatment Of the figure at the waist
line. A natural result OF the full gath
cred skirt is the normal waist line. Just
now the line is more in straight around
than in pointed effect. When the bod
ice and skirt are Joined together to
form one piece dress the belt is quite
narrow, or it may be narrow across the
back and wider in front.
Sometimes the fu1lness of the cut and
the stiffness of the material are all that
is required to give the crinoline eff
feet. Then again sometimes the petti4
coat, stiffened artif1ca1ly or made of
stiff taffeta or grosgraie, supports an
outer skirt of light and soft material
Separate petticoats of crinolina are
sometimes worn underneath the dress
skirt.
While sleeves are usually long, there
is tendency toward very short ones,
which accord with the full skirts now

CHILD HYGIENE.

INSUFFICIENT nutrition of school
children is only another symptom
of the general condition of the people,
a symptom which facilitates the dag
nosis of bad general conditions, reveal
ing them very clearly since compulsory
education has brought all the children
under general supervision
If it has been found that a child is
tnsufhciently nourished it is the task
of the mother to furnish the food that
is needed. But we must always re-
member, especially where the noon
meal is wanting, that two tasks are to
be accomplishments, the impOver-
ished child must be raised to the nor
NAL weight which corresponds to its
size, and the body must be put in a
healthy condition.; second. sufficient
food must be furnished to keep the
child at his normal weight.

Fashion Straws Showing
Which Way the Wind Blows

SILK and serge or any two materials,
especially in white, are selected
to fashion the suit for sunny clines.
Coats of the new, spring suits and
other coats will be quite as boxy as
they formerly were close fitting, and
seams will appear this spring.
Cape attachments will be considered
smart. while there may be few high
collars. The high ones will be of the
convertible order, for who wants to
swathe the neck in humid weather, and
our springs are usually very warm
New knitted materials form smart
sports suits. Glazed kid trims many
suits and is used in combination with
velvet and cloth when it does not form
whole garments.
Brilliant colors are employed in the
fashioning of the dance and afternoon
gown.
Long or e-quarter sleeves will be
seen on the spring frocks. White
broadcloth fur trimmed frocks for
southern wear are being shown Taft
fetas and Grape in sheer quality make
afternoon frocks to go in the trunks of
the nidwinter traveller to warmer
climes. VoiIes are holding their own in

NEWEST SPRING DRESS MATERIALS


EVERYTHING that is new in silks is
Of light weight, to comply with the
new full dress skirt New failIe silks
have wonderful hneness and 1uster.
Many are in glace shot effect, but,
though in two co1ors, they are not what
we call changeable.
= Tafetas are not only in plain weaves,
stripes and checks, but there are also
( beautiful brocaded patterns in pompa-
dour designs. Stripes in various widths
are used for skirts, waists and dresses
and also for trimmings and Innings.
Stripes Of one color are seen and also
narrow stripes in assembled colors
forming widely spaced stripe.
Among printed silks the patterns in
Glide small wild flowers in scattered
effects; also floral designs SO grouped
as to form stripes and full blown rose
widely spaced. Stockinet weaves in
silks printed IN wide and in narrow
stripes in a variety of bright colors and
also in ombre stripes of one, two and
three eolors are used for sport coats.
; new material of artificial silk in
pique Weaves is in a wonderful line of
shades. It is used as a trimming and
also for the making Of sport coats in
place Of silk Jersey.
Vofles are prominent for spring. One

and in Jacquard embroidery. A new
wolfe has finely corded stripes in black,

silk A fabric in wolfe and batiste is
woven in two colors in a series of pat
terms, with a border or margin in one

woven in white and coIored check has
the border in pure white. Embroidered
patterns are used in combination with
woven borders An openwork novelty

in vogue. On coats there are varia-
lars and fiat cape collars. Capelike
collars, with double and triple tiers, are
seen on few new designs.
Snug fitting collars, wrinkled and
very high, are used on dresses. Bias
bands of silk, boned and ornamented
with bows and loop ends Of the same
material, are seen. Simple, high stand
ing turnover collars are made of stiff
ened tul1e or mousseline de sole or a
sort of starched crepe 1isse. Other high
collars stand away from the neck in a
stiff, straight line. Some button straight
down the front in a continuous line
with the bodice.
White tulIe petticoats for dancing
wear are the 1oveliest things i'm
aginable. One of these petticoats is of
white tu1le in three layers, each a lit
tie fuller than the one beneath, and on
the outer very full petticoat are five
little ruff1es> Of white satin, each edged
with cord.
An afternoon frock was made in soft
cashmere, chosen in a useful but be-
coming shade of chestnut brown. The
style of the skirt in this case also was
one which, will be best suited to a slim
girl, since the four fat tucIzs which
start some little distance below the
waist will naturally add to the APP
parent width Of the figure. Tt would
be quite easy to arrange this skirt,
however, without the tucks if preferred
The bodice was designed on simple,
but becoming lines, with plenty of full
ness back and front, drawn down under
very deep waist belt of dark green
velvet, fastening at the side under a
close plating. The collar was of white
lawn, finished with a brown silk tassel
and opening in front to show a cross
ing vest of cream lace lined with gold
tissue. The pointed cuffs were of white

There is decided leaning in
the midseason styles toward a sim
plicity of cut and line for afternoon
velvet models. One evening frock of
coral velvet is daringly simple in its
long unbroken line from shoulder to
f1oor-yes, hoOr-for the gown is in
sweeping length and shows a long
train. The only trimming is a cincture
of gold and fine gold thread tracery
embroidery across the straight me-
dievaI shoulder line. An afternoon
gown of black velvet shows a side skirt
drapery, the only thing which breaks
the line of the gown to give lights to
the sumptuouS fabric. Several jet but
tons provide a neager trimming for
the gown.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-03-02

elaborate nnanti1Ias are ornaments9
with metal threads, and when they ar
provided with slashes for the hand
they assume the character OF a wrap.
Then the present wardrobe must
boast of an elegant wrap to be worn
over these fraiI, diaphanous frocks, 50
that the frosty air cannot bring dis
comfort to the fair dancer. Evening
wraps, of costly furs, velvets, brocaded
silks or finely woven cloths, are to be
had They are brilliant in color ana
of gorgeous materials that appeal to
the lover of snowy cloths. There are
also evening wraps Of pale tinted fab
RIGS that hint of youth, or again they
are of dark, mellow hues that suggest
the dowager or the woman of conserva-
tive tastes. All are beautiful in de-
sign and are sure to win your ap-
proval.
The cut illustrates a charming gown
of rose faiIle cIassique fashioned with
bouffant hip drapery and a princess
effect at the waist line. The top OF
the pretty bodice is of cream georgette
crepe and metal lace, while a fetching
little bunch of French flowers nestIes
just below the smoked waist line
The dinner gown of the extraordinary
back is developed in kings blue silk
net 1avish1y spangIed with silver
sequins. The skirt is cut rather short
with a marked flare, the only trimming
being a border OF Greek pattern. The
simmer of silvery tu1Ie falls from the
shoulder full length or may be used
a drape.
The next evening gown may be
classed as oriental, fashioned, as it is,
of an exquisite shade OF orange panne
velvet combined with a soft tone OF
yellow georgette Grape. The scant
bodice has bead shoulder straps and
is otherwise made of soft folds of silk
net with a deep girdle of crepe en-
broidered in gold beads and spangIes
in a crossbar effect. More girlish is
the dinner gown of black velvet with
Its clever use of spangled fringe and
silk net. The fyaway scarf OF tulle
gives a fascinating finish.

evening wrap of flame colored panne
velvet enriched with Russian sable

your taste, is most attractive to you.
So graceful in line, mellow in color
ing and charming in design are the
present day evening gowns that they
are reminiscent of the costumes made
immortal by the talented brushes of
F'ragonard, Natter and Vatican.
TulIe, Grape and taffeta are the ma
terials most in demand for the youth
full evening frock, and all of them are
shown in a wonderful range Of color
ings. The pinks are more popular
than usual, with the vivid, though soft
tones more in evidence than the very
delicate shadings. The poppy pinks,
coral tones and delicious French rose
tints are all liked, but there is the pale
rose petal pink, too. and some of the
