PARTISAN DESIGN THAT IS BEAU
TIFUL IN EFFECT.
OF ivory White Jersey Cloth, with
Embroideries Of Soft White Silk
Coat Will Be q FavorIte for
the Winter.

My sketch shows one of Redfern's
new models for seaside wear, writes
1dalia de villiers, Paris correspond
emit of the Boston Globe. In this case
beautiful quality Of ivory white jer-
sey cloth was used and the embroid-
cries were worked entirely in soft
white silks. The smart coat, which
nodded the figure, was finished of with
large white linen collar and cuffs to
match.
This was really exquisite suit. In
the best of taste, In accordance with
the traditions Of the Maison Redfern
and very new in outline. These shaped
coats will be much worn all through
the winter. They are tight, without
being too tight, and the basque is CIV
en- a distinct flare at the hem. Red
fern is making coats of this order in
ine serge and in pale-hued linens, and
always with the greatest success.
Redfern, like all our other really
good tailors, is making a number Of
plated skirts-accordion plaits, box
PAoAtS, hhtcO PldltS. 10ueeO, the Dldlt-
ed skirt is now an established favor
lite. 1t will certainly play a leading
role In the world of dress all through
the winter.
The Parisiennes are asking for
white costumes, and white costumes
only. Very brilliant colors are being
shown by all the leading dressmakers
and tailOrs, but these are for the for
eign markets. The really exclusive
Parisiennes wear only black, navy blue.
white or gray.
And this Is easily understood.
France is in mourning for her brave
sons. Someone is missing in almost
every home. How then can one ex-
pect the Parisiennes to appear In CAV
colors?
But even for the foreign markets an
immense number of white costumes
are being made this year. Among
these white jersey cloth, white linen
and ivory white crepe de chine take
the lead.

Method Of Locating Guns.

SUIT ALMOST ALL WOMEN
Large hats Return to Favor Will ee
Generally Welcomed, for Very
Good Reason.

Almost all women are heartily glad
that larger hats are the fashion.
There Is mysterious allure about the
big shady hat which shadows the face
that Is wonderfully softening and be-
coming. To young faces the new ha
which curve deeply down at each sic
make really bewitching frames, esp.
cially when they are of some darl
color and lined underneath the brim
with some soft and delicate tint such
as egg-shell blue. oyster pink or the
pale putty shade that has proved so
valuable for the purpose. Never has
there been such catholicity Of choice
as now. For, according to your re-
quirements and what becomes you
best, you can have either the close-fit-
ting swathed toque. the tall. practical
ly brimless hat Of Cossack frame. sur
mounted by cockade or a chou of
ribbon; the dainty dropping Vatican
or Dolly Warden. the charming and less
exacting bell shape, or the great cart

Just the Amount Of Material That Ia
Required to Make a 80 by 40
Inch Oval.

The pretty oval braided japanese
rugs seen everywhere now suggested
to an ingenious girl the idea of using
up the odds and ends Of rags in the
house and crocheting them together
instead Of braiding them. While II
may not appeal to one as q summer
fancy work, still it's good time to get
ones strips together in balls and plan
for long winter evenings.
To make a rug 80 by 40 inches oval
requires "a yards Of material SO inches
wide. 1t is much prettier to choose
two different colors, white and another
solid color or II yards Of white and
the rest divided among two or three
harmonizing shades. 1t must, how
ever, always be remembered that In
rug designing, like bouquet making or
quilt patching. certain rules are infal-
lible. There must be q distinct touch
Of dark, black or very dark blue or
brown. Yellow and green set off all
other colOrs and the prettiest rugs are
divided equally between white and an
other color or group Of colors.
To make a white and blue-striped
rug, for example, tear 17-yard strips
Of white cheesecloth and blue calico
into one-inch widths.
Begin with a chain eight inches
long, crocheted with a heavy wooden
crochet needle costing 10 cents or
one Of amber which costs Is cents.
Turn and put in eight stitches mt the
end. Repeat at the other end after
crocheting back the eight inches of
chain. Add eight stitches at the ends
with every other row and this will

Not So Bad "a Il Seemed.

1t sounded like a small revolution,
but the sophisticated TOpekans on the
outside of the shoe-shining shop con-
cluded it was only riot among the
Greeks, and they felt sure the police
could handle it without the aid Of the
militia. There were six or seven of
them. headed by a particularly fierce
looking Athenian, who gesticulated
wildly and seemed about to strike his
opponent with his fist. A bystander
dashed away to call the police and
prevent bloodshed. Just then one of
the rioters came outside and was asked
what the row was about.
"Alexipolos say he believe he'll buy
a shoe-shine shop" he explained. 1--WE
all say it's good thing-make good
money. Go ahead."-Kansas City Star.

Large black taffeta hats are taking

worn with a neat linen costume-and
1t Is certainly true that taffeta Is more
suitable than velvet for the hot days
Of August. But this latter fact has
nothing to do with the popularity Of

How Harding Tries to Fool the People
ON PROHIBITION.

Harding was always with the vets
in the legislature. He fought the
Five Mile limit law to protect Iowa
City students; he tried to kill the
Moon law regulating the number Of
saloons; he has had correspondence
and dealings with the political agents
Of the liquor interests, and never
claimed to be anything but wet till
nominated for governor.
Since his nomination he said at
Oakland, dry community: III the
saloon attempts to return to Iowa 1
will call out the militia to keep it
OUT
At Carroll, a wet community, he
said, IF the saloon attempts to re-
turn to Iowa UNDER THE PRES
ENT LAW, I will call out the militia
to keep it out. ="
Then at Allison Harding said
the saloon was gone from Iowa and
gone to stay; at Ackley. which IS
wet, he lodged the issue and said
nothing on the subject.
Harding has no definite stand on
prohibition. He trims his sails to
the changing winds.
