HINTS FROM PARIS
WORTH REEVES INTEREST IN
SPOTTED MUSLIN.
Shows Some Wonderful Effects in
Young Girls Indoor Frocks-Lin-
en- and Taffeta Costumes in
Blue Are Popular.

Worth has revived interest in fine
spotted muslin. This delightful artist
has, of recent years, made rather a
speciality of young girls indoor
frocks, and in this connection he has
done wonderful things with cobweb
muslin, dotted over with black spots,
narrow bands of black velvet ribbon
and real Valenciennes lace inser-
tons.
Some effective muSlins have recent
ly been seen which showed heliotrope
and black spots on a white ground,
and others which had rather large
white spots thrown against a back
ground of eggshelkblue. These spot
ted muslins are worn over. plated,
or gathered, underskirts made of
mousseline de sole, and one almost
always finds an important looking
sash playing an important role in
the dress scheme. Black velvet rib
bon sashes are again popular.
These are worn with muslin, linen
or lace frocks. Shot taffeta sashes are
also very much in evidence. Doucet
is combining plain linen with spotted
muslin in highly successful way.
For instance, a model intended for
the Biarritz season which had full
skirt of white spotted muslin mount
ed over shell-pink pongee and a
sleeveless coatee of shell-pink linen.
The coatee was fastened up to the
throat with little pink quartz buttons
and there was a wide ceinture of
heliotrope suede worked over with sill
yer threads.
This costume, which was extremely
pretty, was accompanied by a shady
hat made of white pedal straw and
lined with heliotrope linen. The high
crown was circled by a trail of black
berries and rambler roses. Flowered
muslins and thin silks are also COM
bined with plain linen. In fact it
may be said that linen is combined
with every possible and impossible
material. In one of my recent articles
T spoke in detail of the effective linen
and taffeta costumes which the Parish
an tailors are making for midsummer
wear.
In various shades of blue, light and
dark. these linen and taffeta costumes
are amazingly popular l have also

Trench Dreams" of Wounded.

although in most instances its dura-
this trembling came after a soldier
had twice been buried in a mine ex-
plosion, had been through a charge
and under heavy bombardment in a
trench and finally was hit by piece
of rock, which, while not injuring him,
knocked him down. In his case the
tremor of the head was marked, and
lasted for some time.
Temporary loss of memory is a COM
mon thing with the men who have
been through some extremely trying
period or who have suffered a sudden
shock. In such instances the recov-
cry ofsmemory is as sudden as its loss.
One such soldier, after being near a
shell which exploded, could remember
nothing that happened to him until he
came to himself. walking along a
lane. some time later Another man
in the hospital thought himself back
in the trenches and became violent,
moving his cupboard about as though
it were a machine gun and pointing
it at his enemies. When he suddenly
returned to a normal state he could
remember nothing of his experience.
One of the most common. and at the
same time most pitiful, of the many
mental results of the struggle is the
inability to sleep soundly. and recur-
renee of so-called trench dreams. 1t
was not uncommon, DR.. Auer said. to
see soldiers start from their beds in
the middle of the night, crying out
and weeping. the bodies bathed in
perspiration as they dreamed of being
buried under debris following mine
explosion and of losing the trench in
a fog and being unable to get back.
The fear which is commonly found
is not the kind which layman would
expect. The soldiers do not fear in
Jury to themselves. They are rather
afraid of doing something wrong, a
fear of an emergency in which one
may fail or lose the confidence of his
comrades. In one instance the patient
was afraid to go to sleep for fear he
would not AWAKE. One man who had

HERE'S A USEFUL ARTICLE
Dressing Case That Is Acceptable
Gift for Man Who Travels
Much.

Our sketch shows a useful little ar
ticle that would form a very accept
able gift to make for a man who has
much travelling to do.
The size of the case to a certain
extent will depend upon the size of
the articles it has to contain. For the
exterior of it macintosh is used, and
for this purpose, as not very large
piece will be required, plenty of good
material may be cleaned from an old
macintosh that has become too
shabby to wear. The macintosh is
lined with strong linen and bound at
the edges with narrow ribbon, but
prior to doing this the pockets must
be sewn in place.
They, too, are made of strong linen
and bound at the edges with narrow
ribbon, and the pockets for the brush
and soap must be made full enough
to enable those articles to be easily
slipped into them.
The case is rolled up loosely from
the bottom, and tapes are sewn on at

My eyes fell before his earnest
gaze, and I felt my limbs tremble.
Mon dieu! Why? There was some
special cause?'
''Yes, monsieur-listen. Do not be-
lieve this is my thought, yet l must
tell you the truth. Hugo Chevet was
found dead, murdered, at st. Ignace.
Twas the morning of our departure,
and your boat had already gone. Cas-
sion accused you of the crime, as some
of the men saw you coming from the
direction where the body was found
late at night, and others reported that
you two had quarreled the evening
before. Cassion would have tried you
offhand, using his authority as COM
mander Of the expedition, but prom

you fair trial."

seen them in bright shades of red
and in deep purple.
Taffeta coates, worn over plated
linen skirts, will be ubiquitous this
summer at Biarritz and San Sebastian.
These coates are made in a variety
of different forms, but in almost all
cases they are short, with very full
baSques and elbow sleeves.
Cobalt-blue is the latest shade for
taffeta coates. Another fashionable
color is deep orange yellow. Very
lovely muslin gowns, for afternoon
wear, are made of lemon-yellOw muslin
and old yellow valenciennes lace. A
gown of this order would look lovely
if finished with a picturesque sash
made of black velvet ribbon.

That the horrors of trench warfare,
with its sudden alarms at night. the
bursting of shells and the burying OF
men by mine explosions, have last
ing effect on the men who undergo
them is the conclusion reached by DR..
E. Murray Auer of Philadelphia, Pa,
who for some time was attached TO
the twenty-second general hospital OF
the British expeditionary force
In a paper which was read before
the Philadelphia Neurological society,
DR.. Auer gave the results of his obser-
vations.
In practically all of the cases which
were observed by DR.. Auer the SOL
diers received no appreciate physical
injury. the effect being purely mental
One such instance cited by the ply
stefan was found in a boy 10 years
old. This boy had been for three days
under a sustained and heavy she'll ire.
At the end of that time he was threat
ened by his sergeant with court-mar-
tial for sleeping while on sentry duty.
This led to an examination and the
sending of the boy TO the hospital.
He was in a stupor for 10 days. The
same was true of another soldier who
had seen his chum blown to pieces.
During the time of their coma,
which in some cases lasted more than
n week, the soldiers gave the impress
sion that they again were living
through the experiences which had
caused the stupor to come on, This
was evidenced by their terrified ex-
pressions. They couched, started and
stared wildly when spoken to. One
such man rose from his bed in the
middle of the night and recited in a
one-sided conversation his experience
of a charge and burial by mine ex-
ulosion, and then relapsed into his
stuporous state.
Another result of shock, according
to DIR. Auer's observations, is a con-
tinued shaking of the entire body, &C
companied by various pains and IN
usually severe headaches. In some
cases this shaking has been observed
to last several days, and even weeks,

D'Artigny did not believe his own
words; l even suspected that he had
gone now. alone to explore the shore
line; seeking to discover the truth and
the real fate of our companions. At
first this conception of our situation

Skating, the origin of which is lost
in antiquity, was mentioned by a Dan
ish historian in 1884, and English au-

there was skating even before the
twelfth century, the custom having
been introduced there from Holland.
The Eskimos used bone skates when
they were first discovered by the
whites and probably had done so for
centuries.

Table Mats AGAIN,

And now enters the vogue of table
mats again! In certain surroundings
and under certain circumstances these
mats are good looking. They are braid.
ed from chintz in paisley patternings
and are easily made. The chintz is
torn into inch-wide strips, braided
carefully, so that all raw edges are
folded in and the braid rolled into
round or oval mats, from few inches
in diameter to larger sizes. Probably
the best place for such mats is the
room with furnishings on colonial
lines. They might also fit in with the
new painted cottage furniture, which
is far from formal, but quaint.

Imitation Frames.

The custom of mounting postcards,
pictures from magazines, ETC., for
use in summer cottages is growing
rapidly since the method is so simple
and such splendid effects may be Sc
cured. Reproductions of good pic
lures may be mounted in a way that
it is hard to distinguish the imitation
wood frame from the real thing. The
gummed binding used is finished to
resemble the different woods, oak, ma
hogany, ebony, etc. Fancy frames
are formed by placing bits of en-
bossed cardboard cut in designs to
initiate carving on the cardboard pad

Boudoir Capes.

An interesting rumOr from Paris
has it that for the lady of leisure who
likes to sip her chocolate or coffee
abed there is a new little cape made
of silk, or cretonne, or linen in pat
tern and coloring to match the wall
paper or hangings of the bedroom.
The cape is thrown about the semi
nude shoulders while the wearer par
takes of her simple breakfast. There
is less bother in the adjustment of
the cape than in the putting on of
the usual negligee. 1t is likely that
the boudoir cape will become popular
with American women of the leisure
class.
