Trimming
Most Popular 80

quaint trimming, very suitable
trimming that historically belongs with
the costume, but it also is trimming
that represents a fabulous amount OF
labor. The full gathered skirt shows
five Of these bands and the little bodice
is cut to form a half low neck, and
short puffed sleeves. 1t is finished
with rather close fitting circular cape
that is trimmed with the same little
bands, but there is girdle OF navy blue
ribbon with picot edge and real En-.
rire scarf of navy taffeta that is edged
with band Of this ribbon which gives
a finishing touch. All the quaint
trimmings Of the sort are in vogue.
It is essentially a season of fine work.
n,anship for trimmings of the sort re-
ouire care and precision and all kinds
Of made trimming are to be seen.
Bands of velvet ribbon are used too.
and frequently. the very narrowest
POSSIBLE put on row after row while en-
broidery of every known sort is en-
ployed. An exceedingly smart and
attractive three-Diece costume met at
tea hour in fashionable hotel was OF
blue taffeta trimmed with narrow
velvet ribbon and with lace in a quite
novel and exceedingly attractive wav.
The skirt was the simple STRAIGHT full
gathered one that is so much liked but
to- the edge Of the hem was sewed
narrow valenciennes lace dyed to
match the silk approximately three
quarters Of an inch in width. F inish-
ing the hem were five rows OF tiny
black velvet ribbon. The blouse was
Of white Georgette crepe with rolled
over collar showing bit Of bead EN-
broidery that gave wonderful touch
of color The skirt was cut no about
the waist line to give something of
pinafore effect. The coat was Of the
simple belted sort that is so much liked
finished at the lower edge with lace
and banding to match the skirt and
with sleeves similarly trimmed and
short enough to allow the white ones
of the crepe to be seen below. At the
waist line was a girdle embroidered
with beads and this embroidery took
the form of little vine Of fiat roses

TUNE Is not usually a season during
which we may look for anything
j like important developments in the
matters of fashion. Women, for the
most part, are making ready for the
summer and designers are taking a
needed rest. There are variations.
however, that meet one and if one is on
the outlook, it is always possible to
CLEAN items of interest.
Without doubt, the really salient
feature of the summer fashions is to be
what women usually know as the "Old
Fashioned" effect or adaptations Of
the Victorian era, the styles Of which
period always appear old fashioned
Jet them be as new as they may, and
the student of conditions is constantly
Impressed with the marvelously clever
! way In which the really great designers
are utilizing the ideas and at the same
time giving new and up-to-date
effect. French models will not come
rs frequently as we are wont to look
for them, but nevertheless, new ones
appear now and then. Two seen to-
day give evidence Of the condition.
One comes from the house of Lanvin
and one from the house of Paquin.
The Lanvin gown is Of taffeta combined
with organdie and the combination it.
self is suggestive of that earlier period.
The silk is very beautiful rich shade
Of brown and is trimmed with pipings
Of blue. The skirt is full and shirred
at the upper edge to open over panel
of organdie which is attached under
wide hens. This panel consists of a
succession of little frills and embroid-
cred bands and is delightfully."- re-
miniseent, although our forebearers
would have worn an under-skirt with
the taifeta over it, consequently en-
during more weight than is desirable
in our summer climate. The blouse
is open at the front to form a narrow
vest which meets the panel of the
skirt and is finished with little cir
cular cape. The neck and sleeves are
finished with futed frills of the or
candle that are turned down over the
cape at the neck edge and up over the
sleeves in q very interesting and quaint
fashion, just little suggestive Of the
Puritan age. There are fittings Of

Dir1ity Dainty Material ,

T'HE simple gowns
that are loose
enough for free
dom and comfort yet
which give smart lines
are the desirable ones
for morning wear. The
gown that is illustrat-
ed here. is designed
for young girls and for
small women. If it is
worn with a sash as it
is in the picture, it
becomes somewhat
more dressy in effect
than if it is worn with
a belt, but it can be
treated in either ways.
Here, the material is a
dainty muslin with
trimming Of lace and
the frlls give a very
graceful and even
dainty effect. Funda.
mentally, it is a per-
fectly plain garment
and can be Worn either
asa morning dress or
as a neglisee, also it
can be cut to form a
sacque and the break
fast sacque makes such
a desirable acquisition
to the wardrobe that it
will be in demand as
we'll as the gown. If
the elbow sleeves that
are made in slightly
bell shape are not liked.
long plain ones can be
substituted and these
plain sleeves are finish
ed with cuffs. also
pockets can be applied
over the front. If a
trip either by boat or
by car is in prospect
and a slip on gown is
needed to carry in the
suitcase, it would be
we'll to use this model
for such material as
cashmere or pongec and
to make with the belt
and with pockets and
with plain long sleeves.

the stems but the roses alternated, one
in delicious shade Of pink shading
from the palest at the center to al
most red at the outer edges with
yellow centers. then bunch OF leaves.
then rose of yellow shading from
pale to amber then again the leaves
and again the pink. The bit OF
brilliancy on the otherwise quiet cos.
tune meant a truly beautiful result
and the costume was one of the dis
tinctive sort that fingers in the mind
after many of more elaborate sort
have been seen and quite forgotten.

cotton material, we realize to the full
that lingerie gowns no longer mean
washable ones, but exquisitely dainty
ones that call for the cleaners skill.
Oreandie is real friend. 1t Is
being used with costumes Of pretty
nearly every hour Of the day. The
afternoon gowns already mentioned
give evidence of some Of it's uses. but
it also appears on the simpler costumes

THE wrist bag makes an important
accessory Of dress this season
4 and the bag that is embroidered
with beads is perhaps the smartest to
be found. The. designs shown here are
good, both the designs for the bags and
the designs for the embroidery. The
latter can be worked either in beads OF
insilk but the beads are somewhat more
fashionable. A good effect could be
obtained by using cut steel beads on al
most any colored silk or jet beads on
black silk, or if something more
brilliant is wanted, by combining
colored beads to suit the fancy. The
conventional flower design can be used
for pink beads for the flowers With
green beads for the leaves and stems 70

the organdic that appear in the panel
at the front, too, and flute organdie
made one Of the important features Of
that Victorian age to which we are
looking in spite Of the many changes.
The Paquin gown is Of fine white
batiste embroidered with Stiny little
blue beads. The combination is in no
way suggestive of an earlier time, but
the style of the gown owes its in
SEPARATION thereto. The skirt is made
of the material with wide border Of
the beads used sparinsly to give
quite dainty effect and is edged with
full ruffle below which. one catches
occasional glimpses of the Auted ruffle
beneath. The little blouse is in no
way remarkable save for the slightly
Mousquetare sleeves which are made
entirely of the beaded border, but over
the shoulders are cape like bretelles
of blue velvet and the lines Of these
bretteles tell the source of inspiration.

PARTY SUFFRAGE RECORDS
Only Democratic congressman Appeal
ed for Action.

Congressman G. G. Dill, Of Wash
ington, cites the records Of the COM
mittee hearings on suffrage in Con
gress to prove that "the only Congress-
men who have gone before the Judi
ciary Committee OF Congress this year
to ask that suffrage amendment be
voted upon have been Democratic
members" He adds that mo others
have appeared to ask for consdera-
tion Of the measure. That is, think,
sufficient answer to any claim that
the Democratic Party opposed Woman
Suffrage"
This record need only be supple
mented with the personal voting his
tory Of the rival Presidential candl-
dates TO show who is the real friend
of suffrage. President Wilson made
two trips from Washington TO New
Jersey to register and vote for Woman
Suffrage when 1t wss submitted in his
State. Candidate Hughes did not take
the trouble to register or to vote the
same year-l9l5-whcn the suffrage
amendment was submitted in his
state.

Of the Chicago district OF the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce.
Normal l.. Anderson of Milwaukee, on
assuming charge. He added: 1T is
high time to prepare by adding for

ahead when the bureau Of foreign and
domestic commerce toresees a strug-
gle for commercial supremacy. Euro
pean nations even now are taking &C
tion to prevent or to carry out, as the
case may be. an economic invasion.
The European war will be succeeded
by a period Of world wide commercial
and industrial competition. II will be
a period of competition as between
the present belligerents TO recoup
their lost trade to further conquests
already accomplished 1t will be a
period OF competition as between the

Name or Number the Farm.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-"Putting the
farm on the map" with a permanent
number which locates it offhand for
the stranger is a task which Chicago
postal authorities are Informed has
been undertaken successfully in Colo
RADIO by John B. Plato, an inventive
farmer of Bloomfield, near Denver.
At a glance the farm number on the
mail box tells "he who runs and
reads" that he is a certain distance
and a certain direction from a certain
town. Thus the farm gets a perma-
nent number which Identifies 1t clear
ly for the present and future, all
through the patented plan of Plato.
Right now he is making a county map
in Colorado according to his plan and
his explanation to me was very sim
pie" said the secretary of the Amer
ican Opportunity League. "On al
most every road of the United States
one will find the farmers rural mail
box When this service was first
started each farmer put up box for
mail. The rural carrier then gave
each box a number The first box he
came to was No. l, the second No. 2,
etc. When several routes start from
the same town 1t makes many dupli-
cate box numbers. No provision was
made for new homes or new routes,
and the numbers had to be changed
often and were always an endless
puzzle to anyone trying to find a GER
tain address. Even the postmaster
does not know where the different
boxes are. In cities one hundred
numbers are allowed to every block
or square, and this method makes 1t
easy to find any given number on a
street. With greatly increased rural
travel the country is now entitled to
some better plan than that adopted
some fifteen years ago, and which is
still in use"
