smartest Of the imported frocks shown
in New York this season was a dark
blue taffeta, trimmed with those white
opaque beads arranged in conventional
designs on skirt yoke, cuffs and collar.
An extremely simple, ng-lined dress
of Lanvin's, in tan garbardine, was
effectively finished by narrow woven
Eirdle of beads in the vivid Indian col
Orings; this girdle was weighted with
two heavy tassels, and was caught
loosely about the normal waist line
knotted and allowed to fall nearly to
the skirt hem on the left side. The
girdle composed the only bit of contrast
on the dress and the effect was charm
ing.
A white bead girdle on an afternoon
or dance frock of net is most effect
i've, too; the China beads may be used
or the glittering crystal beads. These
woven girdles give an excellent OppOr-
tunity to put into use the knowledge
of bead weaving which the majority of
us gained when bead embroidery was so
popular u form of fancy work, some
years ago. One may use her own ideas
as to color combinations, this being
another chance for developing person
ality in dress. The use of-e0lOr is I'M
doubtedly the greatest factor in obtain
ing the desired note of the season;
therefore one should not hesitate to use
color in effective combinations, in rib
bon, braids and embroidery of all kinds;
the touch Of handwOrk is introduced on
frock, blouse and suit, anywhere and
everywhere possible.
The daytime dress of serge, natural
linen or taffeta, is rendered doubly be-
coming by bit Of vivid wool or bead
embroidery, and the evening frock, no
matter how simple, is thing Of glitter
and sparkle. One should not be afraid
of oddity, so long as it is harmonious.
The Return Of Belts.
As girdles and belts of all descrip-
tions are smart again this year, it will
not be difficult matter to introduce
the required bit of color. Wide and
marrow girdles of ribbon are smart;
narrow strap belts of colored suede, soft
or vivid, according to the tone Of the
material, encircle skirt or coat of the
sport costume, and the simple serge or
linen frock may be girdled as soberly
or as-gorgeously as Fancy dictates, and
Fashion advises Fancy to be gorgeous

Especially are these bluebirds fav-
Ored for the little girl white frock
The only thing to bear in mind when
using these motifs is that the design
must be small and the effect dainty.
Feather stitching and cross-stitch are
both being used effectively on chill
dren's garments and here again we see
the effect of color for in children s fash

brightness. Fashion says that small
people shall be dressed quantity and
prettily, that is all, and leaves us to
work our own salvation. This is not
difficult, as materials are so charming

Breakfast Gown and House Dress.
Not the least important detail, by
any means, in the well dressed woman 3

be the morning dress of the woman who
merely supervises her household, or
it may be the workaday dress of the
woman who really keeps her own house,
but it is as necessary as the afternoon
frock or the evening gown. Fashion,

COVERED STOCK
YARDS WANTED
WANT RAILROAD COMMISSION TO
COMPEL RAILROADS TO
COVER STOCK PENS.
CATTLE SHIPPING INHUMAN
~ Farmer Should Care for His Stock
AS Shipper Does, He Would Be
Brought to Court and Fined.

Lansing - Twenty-Five representa-
lives of Michigan railroads heard their
corporations attacked, and themselves
referred to as inhuman because stock
yards in the state are not covered.
Speakers on behalf of the live stock
shippers did not mince words. They
wanted the railroad commission, be.
fore whom the matter was heard. TO
issue an order compelling covering
of stock pens. AS a compromise the
shippers will furnish the commission
with list of points where they think
covers should be placed. The COM
mission will turn this list over to the
carriers and another hearing will be
held
f.. +. Mcconnell, of Allen, president
OF the Tri-State Livestock Shippers,
contended that the losses sustained by
shippers in shrinkage by reason OF
sheep and hogs being left in uncovered
pens and dying of exposure was enor-
nous. 81 know that If farmer should
care for his stock as a shipper has
to in the yards, he would quickly be
brought to court and fined. On behalf
of the railroads the statement was
made that the expense would be too
great, that money spent in that way
would better serve the patrons Of the
the road in other lines. General Man
ayers Alfred, OF the Pere Marquette,
and Towsley, OF the Ann Arbor, both
insisted that the amount of live stock
shipments and the revenue accruing
therefrom, would not justify the enor-
nous expenditure.
Last year our road" said Mr..
Towsley, received a revenue of six
cents a car mile for the handling of
live stock shipments. The interstate
commerce commission has said that a
railroad should get IA cents a mile for
any commodity"
