Chicago fans concerning the poor

usual, Manager Clarence Rowland is
the target for the bad feelings Of the
fans, and rumors that Rowland, who
came up from the minors last year to
lead the Sox, is to be deposed are
current. On the other hand, Charles
Comiskey, owner of the team, de-
clares that Rowland is to stick. The
base ball-going public can take its

There are many pretty frocks on dis
play for members Of the primary class
In the school of social wisdom, and
they are calculated to develop her
taste. BY the time she arrives at the
"flapper" stage. with mind of her
own as to clothes, she will know some
thing about party frocks, anyway.
There are many dresses for the little
miss. made of plain and changeable
taffeta In light colors. And there are
others Of crepe Of chiffon much beruf-
fed. Some of them are short-waisted,
some of them are long-waisted, and
others have no waist at all. All of
them barely reach to the knees and
their sleeves are as brief as their
skirts. Necks are round or square,
and little sleeveless body in several
good designs is worn over a dainty
underbody with sleeves, made of tulle
or lace, in narrow ruffles, set close to-
gether on net foundation.
A new idea Is successfully carried
out when taffeta is the material used.
Short-waisted dresses. or slips without
a waistline. are trimmed with several
rows of narrow ruffies of the silk
about the bottom of the skirt and on
the sleeves. These ruffles are sewed
to the frock along their lower edge
that is, they are upside down.
Other styles may come and go, but

The waist sets nicely and is hloused
over the top of the skirt a very little.
Hemstitching serves to join the two
colors in crepe, together.
The blouse possesses two style fea-
lures that are new and especially in
teresting. The neck is round and fin
ished with a narrow band of white
crepe. The collar, of blue crepe, is
cut circular and In two pieces, making
narrow crescent-shaped cape at the
back and front. 1t fastens on the left
shoulder and Is edged with very fine
point venice lace.
The deep cuffs of blue are smart
and very practical, as they do not
soil as easily as white. Fragile and
dainty as crepe looks, 1t is in reality
durable material If given the care
1t deserves. The light colors wash
well and may be retinted when they
begin to fade.

One of those new blouses in which
georgette crepe in two colors Is COM
bined has several points of interest
for the seeker after new things in
waists. The two-color idea was sue
cessfully introduced in the spring and
has the Endorsement of women of fash
ion. 1t gives designers a chance to ex-
ercise a great amount of cleverness in
embodying both colors In the body of
the garment, and in carrying out the
color scheme in embrolderies, buttons
and ornaments.
The blouse shown is of white and
navy blue georgette crepe. A band
of the navy blue crepe is set in about
the arm'seye and 1t is used to make
the wide cuffs and the collar.
Small pendant silk-covered buttons
are placed down each side of the front,
and they are sewed to plat near the
arm'seye. They are In navy blue silk,
suspended by small white silk cord.

miss refuses to go at all. Here is one
of the latest creations for little girl.
1t is made of French batiste and Is
trimmed with narrow valenciennes lace
and little frill embroidery. The long
waist has front panel of five tucks,
and when 1t is set into the side body a
frill edged with lace is set on. Sim
liar frills finish the neck and sleeves.
The short skirt Is laid in fine plaits
and trimmed at the bottom with In
sertion and edging of valenciennes
laSe.
The girdle is made of wide soft
satin ribbon laid in plaits. At each
side there are double rosettes with
hanging ends Of baby ribbon In the
same tint as the girdle. Little bows
are tied In the ends of the pendent rib
hons. The girdle slips through strap
of batiste at the back and fastens I'M
der one at the front. 1t is tackled to
the dress at each side, under the
rosettes,

SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT HAP.
PENlNGS IN FAR OFF
NoRTHLAND.
ITEMS FROM THE OLD HOME
Resume Of the Most Important Events
in Sweden, Norway and Denmark--
OF Interest to the seandinavians
In America.

So great has been the prosperity OF
the last two years that 1t is reported
the governments of Denmark, Nor
way and Sweden already have paid
off, or have sufficient funds in the
state Golfers to pay off. all outstanding
foreign Indebtedness. So In brief
space of time the three small neutrals
lying In the very lap of the war, have
been transformed from the borrowing
to the lending class. When prosper
fty first came to Scandinavia it was
distinctly prosperity of the mon
eyed classes. People with money were
quick to take advantage Of the war
opportunities and not few Of them
have made fortunes by merely dealing
in foreign money. There were stock
booms that made the manipulators of
American war brides" appear as am
ateurs. But gradually the inflow of
money affected all Industries. Unem-
ployment became unknown and the
skilled laborers received high wages.
The farmers participated in the
prosperity from the beginning, and
their share has been steadily increas-
ing until this year they will divide a
crop yield estimated at more than
$400000.000, against normal Of less
than half that amount. The mid
die classes and the cities, the salaried
employees, have as usual been caught
between the millstones of high prices
and big profits, the salaries having In
no case kept pace with the increased
cost of living. Savings banks and
commercial banks show deposits far
in excess of any expectation. Luxu-
ries are in great demand and of course
bring fabulous prices. The summer
resorts report record season. The
governments of the three Scandina-
Wan countries were quick to see the
trend of the times and by special
taxes and heavy income levies have
filed the national treasures to over
flowing. Part of their enormously In
creased national revenue has been de-
voted to the maintenance of armed
neutrality, the naval and military ex-
penses having been very heavy ever
since the war began.

AVOIDING FRICTION AT HOME
Has Some Ideas Just
About Correct.

The wife of man just now very
prominent in national affairs has been
talking to reporters. She believes
that marriage is good for men IN pub
lie life. And she thinks there should
be no friction In the home. The lady
says:
THAT is what try most to do, to
avoid friction. My duty lies in my
home. Our home life is very happy
one. am chiefly interested in that,
as i have told you. / try to keep it
calm and normal, whatever the situa-
tion."
1t is not necessary for woman to
have husband who may be president
in order to put into practice the the
DRY thus outlined If it were possible
to discover the facts it would Be
found that most of the men who
amount to anything in any line of eff
for owe huge debt to the prudent,
skillful, calm and quiet care of their
wives In and out of their homes.
Man is usually an unreasonable and
often disagreeable animal. He means
well, and hopes for the best, but 1t is
easy to offend him, and those he loves
best are likely to suffer most. The
wife who can understand him and will
