Secret Is in Proper Care.

| have a friend who has about one-
fourth the allowance that / have for
clothes, and yet she is one Of the best
dressed girls l know. learned the
secret last year when l spent a week
end at her home.
We went up to her room to take of
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 a 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 l saw her
clothes hanging in a neat row, each
hanger in its 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 of 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 theil
pockets and put them in their places
putting on a pair of house slippers
She then got into simple little house
frock, and as she stopped at the miT
ror to brush her hair she folded he
veil and gloves, and opening the tol
drawer, which was divided into com
partments by strips of thin board, pu
them in their places.
1t only took very few minutes t
DO all this, and it meant that when W
left the house the next morning sh
would look as If she had just steppe
out of one of her own bandboxes.

have found that my things last twic
as long, and l feel sure that al

PRACTICAL RESULT IN RUSSIA.

Since the prohibition Of vodka the
price Of labor in Russia has gone up
in remarkable manner, says Prof. J..
Y. Simpson in the British Weekly.
THE peasant banks are full Of money"
he tells US, loans have been paid off,
and agricultural implements pur.
chased on the installment plan have
been bought outright. Having sup
piled themselves with gramophones
and watches and new clothes, the
peasants now employ their money in
buying land and even securities, or
starting little businesses. One hundred
million roubles per month used to be
spent on vodka; today it remains in
the economy Of peasant life. On all
hands, the people demand that It shall
be banished forever. The last speech
heard in the duma was that of peas
ant delegate insisting that the perma
nent prohibition of vodka be embodied
In legal enactment now"

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 poDlin 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-
servative idea, 80 they adopt this
loose, plated, half-belted robe, with
its 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 bit of frivolity when they build
1t 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 short, box
plated skirt and a short, full, capelike
bolero that is worn over thin, half
low, white chiffon bodice. The bolero
has a shoulder collar of lace in bold
design, and the iaring 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
rufle. There is also a 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 a careless fashion
and finished at the lower edge with q
loose knot and tive leaf-shaped ends
For instance, dark-blue Irish poplir
has several of these sashes, one Of
which is in brick-dust red
Another one Of the tributes to ho
weather that fashion is making is IL
the jackets and bodices withou
sleeves. There has been tendenc!
toward this fashion running like {
thread through the whole fabric o
the winter styles, but it has come t
full strength at the approach of no
weather. 1t is carried out in variet,
Of ways, but it is especially accentuat
ed in the taffeta gowns which are be
ing worn at smart weddings, gardel
parties and country club teas.
The sleeves which come from be
meath these half-finished Jackets an
bodies are of chiffon, point d'espri
or silk muslin, plain or flowered.
There is one alluring rose-colore
taffeta frock launched for June. Thi
has a short skirt covered with smal
rufTles from hip to hem, and the JACKIE
which is easy and loose on the figure
is nipped in at the waistline at tn
sides. The material is slightly platte
there, and the consequent fullnes
flares straight out from the waistlint
The long, loose armholes are cort
ed to attract attention, and the elbo'
, sleeves, which fall away from tn
, arms, are made OF the white chiffol
! the same material as the high cola
, which opens to the bust.
