General Carson, who Is a Canadian,
is one Of the British commanders who
are most active in the big drive against
the Germans in the Somme region.

For the first time in weeks no
change of importance was reported in
any theatre of the war Thursday. The
most violent fighting took place on the
Western end Of the British salient.
Six times the Germans advanced in
force in a desperate effort to bend
back the British lines northwest of
Pozieres. London reports that all Of
these assaults were repulsed with
heavy losses and that the British in
turn captured about 100 yards Of
trenches northwest Of Bazentin.

was, of course, one-piece affair, put
toning in the center back.
Straight-from-the-ne dresses dls-
tinguished by plated side panels or
panels Of contrasting fabric and fair
number Of little frOcks of the Kate
Greenaway type are also liked.
The little frock shown in the sketch
is the "jaquette" type, short wasted
and demure. Plain and plaid serge or
taffeta may be used for this frock, or
it may be distinctly summer model
made OF chambray, gingham or linen.
The dress is of the tailored type, there
fore better suited to a sturdy material
than to one Of the sheer fimsy weaves,
such as wolfe, handkerchief linen, ETC.
II desired, two materials or colors
may be used, the skirt and sleeves be-
ing of plaid, and the jaquette OF one
tone fabric. If this development Is
favored, or other trimming is really
required, although braid or narrow vel
vet ribbon may be used If wool or SILK
material is selected.
The dress might be made OF white OF
colored heavy linen or chambray ana
heavy embroidery In conventional de-
sign used to decorate the skirt and
iauuette and smart little pockets.
To make this frock for child six
years, if only one fabric is used, two
and half yards, SO inches wide, will
be required. If the jaquette employs
a different material two yards for the
dress and three-quarters of yard OF
material SO inches wide for the Ja-
uuette will be needed.
"A study of type, with the idea OF
harmonizing the individual and her
apparel, is quite as important In select
ing the wardrobe of the very young
woman as in choosing clothes for the
grown-up member of the family.
Setting the foundation of good taste
in dressing may begin quite early in
life, with profit to all concerned. and
the question of expenditure plays only
a minor part in the final showing.

Economy 1t Summer Wear.

There are two things to do to ar
ticles soiled or faded by the ravages
Of summer-dust, bleaching sun, per-
spiration and salt water. One, clean
them; two, color them. OF course. II
the color is actually faded out cleaning
will hardly do any good. Often, how
ever, things that are apparently faded
are only badly soiled, and thorough
cleaning is all that they need.
The market Is full of cleaners and
colorers of various sorts. So, II you
have soiled white straw hat, first try
cleaning it with some bottled or boxed
preparation and then, If it remains
soiled looking, try colOring 1t with
some other preparation.
So, too, If white frock or blouse
seems yellowish or grayish, boil it hrst
in water to which a little washing soda
is added. If it bleaches nicely. we'll
and good. If not, get some dye and
dye it to some pretty shade of pink or
blue.
Rag rugs that have been washed so
many times that they are losing tnelr
color can be satisfactorily dyed. The
color in them will modify the color OF
the dye, to some extent, so count on
that when you are choosing the color
to dye them.
There are many satisfactory hat
dyes with which straw hats can DE
colored easily in almost any shade.
Follow the explicit directions always
given with these commercial coloring
LIQUIDS to get the best results.
For faded pink lingerie, remember,
there are bottles Of pink liquid to re-
store It's original hue. A few drops OF
red ink to a bowl Of water, too, will
brighten pink lingerie, and so will lit
tie red dye well diluted with water.
