 Even the syrup jug for the matu- tinal pancake is distinguished affair of panelled cut glass with a top of hand wrought silver, monogramed or initialed like the rest of the break fast service. Of course there are many small conveniences of silver and also of white metal; egg cups, toast racks, muffin plates and the like. One plate, for serving soft-boiled eggs, Is particularly graceful in its leaf shape with a stem-like handle. In the center of this picture is a new type of tea strainer.

in Paris now. The Jenny frock is very dark blue in tone and the mohair is combined with taffeta of the same shade, the upper portion of the skirt being of the taffeta, with lower DOT ption of mohair attached to it in car fridge pleated effect. This frock has trimming of white pontine, the new reversible waxed fabric with satin, silk or velvet as a backing. In the Jenny frock the collar and cuffs are of white pontine with a dark blue silk backing,> the white waxed surface being turned outside. From the col lar downward, tiny edge of the white pontine follows the surpliced line of the bodice fronts and this tiny line of white brightens the dark frock sur- prisingly.
 An Alpaca Frock From Bernard.
 Following the vogue for alpaca and mohair between season costumes, Der nard has brought out a model of stunning simplicity. The overskirt, which falls to within an inch or two of the skirt hem, is p1eated in small boxpleats, we'll pressed all the way down and is attached by a stitched hem to straight, young-girlish bodice that makes no pretense of fitting in at the waistline or revealing the curves of waist and bust. Over the ,terial that is strapped together across the front, at the throat, by mar row, buttcned strap of the alpaca. This frock is black. with buttons of gunmetal and smoked pearl. Above &l, ,,fPc e1 row bands of steel colored metal rib bon and rows of the fancy buttons run up the outer sides of the sleeves to the elbow.
 Indeed. one can scarcely have too many buttons on the new frock; but tons are as fashionable on frocks as they are on blouses. Everything is buttoned these days, from the trim ming on ones hat down to ones cor rect buttoned boots. Fringe is also a new autumn trimming-new that is for the moment while fashion whisks it temporarily on top. One couturier has a frock with wide bell sleeves trimmed with three-inch silk fringe; no other fringe appears anywhere on i the costume.
 The A1ways-Lovely Lines Of CaIIot. l Callot's lovely lines are unmistak- able. Somehow all women in frocks from this house look graceful, slender and willowy. This is partly due to l the rich. soft-draping materials em- ployed and partly to the favorite Cal lot trick of outlining the shoulder and arm, with loose-fitting sash and clinging lines at hip lower in the costume. The frock Illustrated today is of nasturtium yellow chiffon and satin- striped taffcta in the same tone and lighter shade of yellow. Amber beads outline deep yoke on the bodice and the buttons at the belt are of amber and rhinestones. The trim ming of dark fug accentuates the yell low tone of the frock. Though the lines seem so loose and graceful, there is carefully fitted foundation frock of yellow taffeta underneath, the bod i ice as trimly featherboned as any I tight-6tting little basque of the mo- mcnt.

kins at breakfast time, and many housekeepers will not use doilies or even square on the breakfast table, preferring the fresh, all-covering tablecloth as a background for the silver coffee service and dainty break fast china.
 At the luncheon table color may be introduced ad libatunn. likewise embroidery, hemstitching and even lace in the doil;es or lunch-cloth that on-y partly covers the polished table 1 top.
 The blue willow ware, so long a favorite for breakfast use, has gone out of fashion now and is preferred for bungalows and country cottages. The blue ware is provided for kitchen service in the town house. Breakfast china in old English patterns is charming and there are various new art patterns equally attractive. White and gold china, the most formal sort, is used for dinner and for luncheons | of the more formal kind. Blue can ton ware, however, is always dis tinctive and many housekeepers still prefer this china for the breakfast table. With this dull blue china nothing is prettier for a centerpiece than a delft blue flower bowl, low and broad and filled with water, a glass block holding a few fresh flow | CTS.
 Smarter than the conventional sil- yer coffee service for breakfast use 1 are reproductions of old English silver wrought by hand after models of the Queen Anne and Georgian periods. Low covered dishes of'silver in mated pairs hold the hot cereal and the one hot dish and some of these covered dishes have hot water receptacles un- derneath, after the English fashion, so that breakfast is kept piping hot, no matter how late some member of the family may be. If the dish with a special hot water pan is not used, a silver trivet is a delightful addition to the breakfast service. In6aitAls

T is poverty stricken soul indeed
 who may not indulge in a new
 frock when summer merges into U fall. Even one charming new {, costume gives one revived feeling at this season when all feminine in- terest is turning from half passe-or entirely passe-summer frocks to the interesting new models for autumn wear. It is the season of seasons for new frock and such a frock counts for vastly more just now than half a dozen frocks later on when everybody is coming out in new toggery.,
 Cheruit, always to be relied upon for the delectable little demi-saison ; frock that shall set the feminine world a-futter, has not disappointed her clientele this year. Cheruit's pretty frock-like all the models Of this couturier. exquisitely ladylike-is of navy blue serge with a pleated skirt just short of the ankle and revealing the prettiest part of the foot-its in step and the slender ankle buttoned neatly in a smart boot. Over this pleated skirt is a very full ripple overskirt attached to the bodice only with cording and dividing at either
 
 effect in line with the double row of buttons which give the bodice a double breasted suggestion. The rip pie overskirt is lined with white satin and the bell sleeves have rolled back cuffs of the white satin and. a row of the buttons-whfte and blue but tons-up the outer side of the sleeve. The double-breasted bodice has a rolled shawl collar, not very wide, of the white satin. A delicious little frock this. in Cheruit's best tailored style and with youthful chic and dash that is irresistible.
 Jcnny's One-Piecc Frock.
 Jenny has new between season frock too, a one-piece frock of quite new type. One gets into it through the neck opening like middy blouse and then the waistline is drawn in by a narrow velvet sash drawn through slashed openings. The skirt spreads voluminously and Is pleated closely at the waistband and is of course cut separately from the bodice, also pleat- cd, for so much material could never be hung from the shoulders without bulkiness. The couturiers still advo- cate facing of stiffening fabric with in the skirt hem and tunic hem, and under certain types of hip draperies, pockets and the like. The olive green silk and chiffon frock pictured, with elaborate drapery over the hips is dis landed by pleatings of stiffening, laid vver the silk skirt and under the looped up drapery. This charming frock, by Klein, is of olive green faille matinee silk with a chiffon bodice in the same shade. over an undsr-bodice of flesh -oiorcd faille matinee. There is also Breton apron of the chiffon embroidered in bands with dull gold thread. Olive green and dull gold form a color scheme very fashionable with the incoming of fall and the tones are artistically balanced in this Klein costume, even the slippers-of glazed kid-matching the greenish- gold shade of the costume.
 Another bctween-season frocl1 from Jenny is of blue twilled n,ohair, a ma- terial that is having strong revival

Of blue also, are coats of pontine. waxed material that is perfectly weatherproof and has a reverse side of silk or satin in contrasting color. Pontine coats are slightly more ex- pensive than ordinary rainccats of rubberized silk, but they arc vastly smarter. for this material is in great vogue and is ultra smart just now. A coat of blue pontine with reverse of white satin is in mannish box-coat style with good flare below the arms. Rows ot silk stitching in white and big white pearl buttons emphasize the tailored effect, and the white satin side of the material is turned back to show like a facing. ir collar and cuff.

GERMAN HAD BEST PLANS; BUT FRENCH
 HAD BEST SPIRIT

BOSTON. April 2A.-The Germans had the best plan but the French had the best spirit at Verdun, says Robert Corey In the Globe Germany In January and February prevented undue French concentration at any point by a series of attacks along the line, while over the admirable German railroad system before Yer dun they concentrated guns and SUD- plies. The French had but two rail- roads, one from Chalons and the other-a narrow.gauge-from Bar-de- luc. The narrow-gauge was of but littie use and the other was within 1O kilometers of the German guns. The aim was to hammer verdun until it collapsed from lack of supplies, but the French had a system of well metaled roads. and used 5000 motor trucks. which saved Verdun as sure ly as the taxlcabs saved Paris at the time of the Battle of the Marne. The French had to advance in open ground with threeinch guns to get within range Of the German l5-inch weapons. until their own big guns arrived

COST THOUSANDS TO EVOLVE PACKING CASE
 FOR WAR MUNITIONS

NEW YORK, April 24.-It cost an American firm S16O,OOO to evolce a satisfactory wooden packing case for artillery ammunition, and this exem- plifies how troublesome details have cropped up in war munitions manu- facture. One concern made the brass primer or cap in the base Of the brass cartridge case of too soft a composition of brass; 1t spread on firing and could not be removed SO instead of this three-inch case being reloaded 12 times, 1t could be fired but once Time fuses contain 14S parts. although they are not much bigger than two-inch bit of broom handle; they are more delicately made than the ordinary watch. Their whole safety ard effect depends on exactly the proper amount of fric- ton holding a tiny pin within split ring. These are all matters of course now instead of problems in Ameri' can factories.
