The Cotton Frock.

Prophets Of fashion are saying that
much later this autumn than ever be-
fore The reason suggested is that
owing to the lateness of spring and
frocks later than usual and for that
reason they will want to wear them
longer
AS a matter of fact. you know that
1t is seldom matter of weather that
leads you to lay aside summer cottons.
but merely desire to be in the van
guards as far as autumn fashions go.
But this year all this is to be different,
and while women will buy a few ad-
vanced autumn frocks or suits, they
will wear cotton frocks throughout
September. October and part of Novem-
ber. And there are so many interest
ing possibilities in cotton frocks and
cotton goods are so inexpensive at this
time Of the year that every woman who
has time ought to make four or FIVE
irocks of this description. or il she has
not time she ought to engage her dress
maker to do ii for her.
The cotton frock that is built on the
lines of what is known as the house,
gown is always acceptable: This sort
of frock slips on over the head and is
made in as few pieces of material as
possible. Quite often the skirt and
waist are made in one. the fullness be-
ing held in at the waist merely by
means of a stitched belt of the same
or contrasting material finished with
button and buttonhole or metal belt
buckle. The blouse of this sort of
frock is open part way down the front
and depends on q set Of lacings and
eyelets for fastening. Made OF blue or
pink chambray with pretty figured ere
tonne collar and cuffs a frock of this
sort is extremely attractive and ridic-
uiously cheap.

that We have. Too often they never
have learned to do things for them
selves, because they never, have had to
do things for themselves. They simply
comma nd that things be done for them.
And so. because they have this power
to command they too often have come
to think that they have a right to
command anything that Ethey please.
They cannot understand that other
people have rights.
1t is something this way'with King
Eagle. He likes fish, but he never has
learned to catch them for himself. SO
because he likes fish and wants nsh
and is big enough and strong enough
he feels that he has perfect right
to take them from P1unger the Fish
Hawk, and that Plunger should gladly
give them up at his demand because he
is the king If he were not the king
suspect he would be called tustta plain
robber. But no one thinks OF calling
he king a robber-that Is, no one but

and that way. mounted high in the air
and dropped suddenly, all the time
working toward the Green Forest. But
all the time King Eagle kept right with
ping his great wings in Plunger's very
face, and all the time commanding
Plunger to drop that ish. Plunger was
about ready to give up when Mrs.
in King Eagles way and did her very
best to interfere, all the time scream
ing at King Eagle and ealing him a
robber and thief and everything bad
make King Eagle so angry that he
would leave Plunger alone and try to
punish her.
But King Eagle is altogether too
smart to be fooled in any such way
as that. He knew exactly what she
was trying to do. and he paid no atten-
tin to her except to threaten her with
his great claws when she ventured too
near. He wanted that big, fat fish ana
he meant to have it. At first he was
want to hurt Plunger, not that he cared
particularly for Plunger. He didn't.
His reason for not wanting to hurt
Plunger was purely selfish, I suspect.
He wanted that particular fish, but he
would want more fish in the future.
and If he hurt Plunger and disabled
him, who would catch those fish for
him in the future? So his whole idea
was merely to frighten Plunger into
dropping that fish.
Plunger knews this. for Plunger Is no
fool, and so he held on and hoped with
all his might that King Eagle would
lose patience and give up. And at last
King Eagle did lose patience. but with
no Intention of giving UP. He began
to lose his temper. Plunger saw a sud
den change in the fierce eyes of King
Eagle. They grew still more herce;
Plunger's heart failed and he shivered
with fear.
"stop fooling and drop that fish"
hissed King Eagle.
With a scream of rage and disap-
pointment Plunger obeyed. He didn't
dare do otherwise. The king was no
longer to be denied. 1t was might and
not right that gave him his way.

SMOKE-BROWN CHIFFON AND FUR.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, July 22.-The chiffon OF
the moment used :or gowns resembles
Georgette crepe. The two are so closely
allied that even the dressmakers use one
name for the other. and as'the prices are
az similar as the appearance no one Is
likely to be cheated by ordering frock
of chiffon and getting one OF crepe.
The manufacturers have learned to
make both fabrics durable. They wear
well and clean well-dual qualities that
strike a glow in the heart of a woman,
rich or poor.
Mind you, the wealthy are as dis
couraged over gowns that do not last.
that do not give service, that do rot
meet the requirements OF their needs or
express the value of the money paid out,
as are the poor. If the facts could be
sifted down to a truthful basis, it would
probably be found that the poor are more
careless. less discriminating and less ex-
acting about their clothes than the rich.
The liberal spending of money produces
expert knowledge in buying. unless a
woman is entirely hopeless in the matter
of gaining experience in this life.
Those who have the money to try out
whatever is new and pleases their fancy
are the ones who will give the best
Judgment on what is durable and what
is not. A poor woman with her lack of
experience in every line of clothes finds
out few things, but not many.

Testing Chiffon Cloth.

The best test put to the modern weave

that gave to cloth skirt when joined to
il the appearance of a one-piece frock.
Recently we have worn the actual one
piece frock instead of this three-piece
combination whenever a touch Of cere-
n1ony was demanded by our social ac-
tivities. so the chiffon blouse. now modi-
hed in its weaving and called Georgette
crepe, is used for all the simple costum-
cry of the day.
At last women have found that this
type of chiffon is more serviceable and
far lovelier than taffeta. 1t wrinkles less
than satin and provides a frock that can
be worn for all emergencies.
From the way the smart French and
American dressmakers are turning it out
into one-piece gowns. it has proved itself
an established favorite. The frocks OF

MORE OF T. R. CONSISTENCY

Consistency is a jewel which does not
appear conspicuously in T. RS dia-
dem. Remember a few weeks ago
when he advised the American people
that they would do well to avoid nomi-
mating and electing him president I'M
less they were ready for heroic doings /?
And again little later he announced
that he would not accept the nominal
ton unless it came 10 him with virtual
unanimity?
Well, contrast the attitude these
statements implied with that Of yester-
day when the colonel told Wall Street
Perkins over the phone that he would
not consider compromise in favor of
a dark horse or a fayorite son until Il
am eliminated"
In other words, the colonel has for
gotten his previous assertions. He
doesn't care whether the people are
ready for warlike doings or not and he
IS out for the nomination on any terms
and conferred in any manner. per-
sonal ambition has overcome the prin-
ciples announced with such JUNCTION
but a few days since.

THE LOSS OF KITCHENER

Germany scored heavily in sinking
the warship bearing Earl Kitchener
and his staff. 1t was perhaps the most
effective stroke of the war. From the
British standpoint Kitchener stood in
almost as prominent a relation to the
prosecution of the war as the kaiser
does on the German side. He was
charged with possibility for the en-
tire task of raising, equipping and dis
posing of the land forces of England
Probably much that was most vital to
the success Of British arms went to
the bottom of the ocean with him
England and the world are wondering
if there is another big enough to take
his place. If there is shall the nation
be able to discover him in this hour of
need?
Kitchener was made of the ideal ma
teriaI for a soldier. Reserved, cold
emotionleSs, an interchangeable worker,
the highest tribute which could have
been paid to him was the unanimity
with which he was selected to take
charge of British military affairs. No
one else was even considered. And
this confidence was scarcely shaken at
any time during the progress of the
war. Though he was criticised, the
hero of khartOum did not even feel it
necessary to defend himself He stood
upon his record and the British people
stood back of him and never at any
time regretted the choice of a leader.

HUSBANDS CONFESSION.

Yesterday Mirandy voted,
But so far | haven't noted
That she's sprouted any whiskers or
adopted trouserettes
And she hasn't indicated,
Since she got emancipated,
That she means to start out riding with
bunch of suffragets.
Took her half an hour to do it,
And as soon as she was through it,
She went busting home without a stop
to scrub the pantry floor;
Cooked the dinner, did some baking.
Trimmed dress that she was making.
Mended socks and got the ironing all
done by half past four.
She appears to be as able
To keep victuals on the table
And to keep the moths from feeding on
my go-to-meeting coat
Just as handy with the baby
Or little more so, maybe
AS she was before they told her woman
ought to have the vote.
Far as I've observed, Mirandv.
She is just as fond Of candy,
And as keen to read the fashions and
the daily household hints
AS before she was my equal"
And-hoWever strange the sequel
I've been just a trifle prouder of
Mirandy ever since,
w. KEE MAXWELL.
