after the declaration of war last
spring the association, with 80 years
experience behind it in work for girls,
was in the field with its war work
council to meet the needs OF women
and girls everywhere, both here and
abroad, who are in moral or physical

USE TURNOVER COLLAR MUCH
Extends to the WaistI'1e in Many
Street Dresses-Trimness and
Simplicity Noticeable.

Loose panels or plated panels, in
Faried lengths, predominate in street
dresses, and there is a preponderance
of the turnover collar extending to the
waistline.
The regulation round or square col
lar also continues to BE popular. A
new cOat-dress shows a standing col
lar, the dress fastening on the side to
the waistline.
Trimness and simplicity are particu-
larly notable in street dresses. AL
though afternoon dresses may be cut
on similar lines, there is a decided
tendency toward the use of two mate
rials, silk, crepe and satin, crepe and
serge, ETC., and there is great amount
of drapery and plaits in evidence.
Richness of effect is added to many
dresses by the use Of a satin body lin
ing under crepe, in contrasting or self
color.

HANDMADE FLOWERS ON HATS
Newest Trimming Consists of Gala
Lilies, Orchids and CIematis
in Varied CoIorings.

Quite the newest and most charm
Ing thing to do with your hat is to
trim it with flowers that are hand
made. The shops are showing beauti-
full things made of chenille and fine
nets. For instance, there are Gala
lilies orchids, clematis and tiger lilies,
as we'll as butterflies in varied and
brilliant colorings. Many shades of
chenille are used to make the butterfly
look as if it were poised upon the
gown. The bride is included in the
new trimming vogue. Her wreath of
yore was made up of white wax flow
ers; now she wears adorable white
silk roses set in silver with long
spirals of silver. And her corsage
matches.
Nimble fingers can make most at
tractive flowers out of hand-tinted rib
bons. One sees morning glOries, pop
pies, pansies, sweet peas, etc., all of
the tinted ribbon.

Evergreen blooms all summer and its
flowers are delightfully."- jasmine-scent
ed. It holds its leaves until spring
almost and therefore should not be
allowed to shade windows which need
the winter light.
The various clemstls are all beauti
full and desirable climbers. 1t is not
generally known that If Clematls pani
culata is severely cut back after flow
ering 1t will form new wood which will
bear fine flowers and many of them the
next season.
Ideal plants for covering brick
stone and rough surfaces are the am
pelopss and hedena helix-the true
European ivy. The latter prefers
northern exposure as the alternating
thawing and freezing of late winter
is apt to kill it if grown where the sur
strikes 1t. The ampelOpsis, better
known as the Boston ivy or Virginia
creeper, is at all times beautiful. The
tender growth in the spring is delicate
ly shaded and in the fall the leaves
are gorgeous in vari-cOlOred Colds,
crimsons and scarlets.
Morning glories, cypress vines,
sweet peas, gourds, nasturtiums, Japa.
nese hops, with cucumber are among
our most desirable annual climbers.
Seeds of them do not cost much, and a
package of one or the other will yield
shade, beauty and grace.
The sides of a steep terrace or bank
may be transformed into q thing of
beauty by planting trailers among its
top. Rosa Wichuraiana, the memorial
rose, and its hybrids are desirable for
this purpose. 1t produces a profusion
of long wreaths of small thickly set
leaves, that look as though they were
vanished. In June it literally covers
itself with large, white single roses.
The Virginia creeper, the honey
suckle, nasturtiums and moon vines
are trailers rather than climbers. OF
garden plants the sweet potato and
the dewberry are genteel enough to be
grown as trailers. They give edibles
instead of flowers.
