WANDERL LISTERS TRAMP
ALONG POTOMAC RIVER

Seventy-three walk lovers went on an
outing Sunday. led by G. A. Gambs.
The walk proper started from Balls
Hill. following the main roadway due
north as far as Leesburg pike. The
general course of the river was follow
ed both roadways and trails being used
by the wanderluSters.
Several unusually pretty scenes, in
Guiding both woods and river, were dis
covered. The walk covered between
seven and eight miles.
Sunday afternoon the third anniver-
sary hike is to be made. The start is
to be made from the old Brightwood
Hotel, Georgia avenue and Military
road. This point may be reached either
by the 9th street car line or by a short
walk from the end of the 14th street
car line. The total walk is not to ex-
eeed five miles, terminating near Chevy
Chase lake. A camp fire is to be kim
died and a halt made for supper. Coffee
is to be provided, but each walker is
expected to furnish his own cup and
eatables. A brief program of talks and
songs is to be given. John Boyle, jr.,
chief wanderluster, is to be the leader.
Charles Knowles and Frank Lawson
are to be joint leaders of an outing
Wednesday evening, starting from the
terminus of the Soldiers Home car line
and going through Soldiers Home
grounds.

used The frock buttons from neck to
tons.
To make the frock five and a quarter
yards of material thirty-six inches wide
will be required.
Dresses made entirely of georgette,
usually trimmed with metal, silk or
bead embroidery. are to be very popular
for dressy wear during the spring and
summer. The material even in light
colors is serviceable. for it is easily
laundered. and is dainty and cool look
ing.
Some peg top skirts continue to be
brought out as part of sport suits or
merely as separate sport skirts, but
they are in the minority as compared
to the straight line effects. The che
mise frock is to some extent being re-
placed by models that show defined
or indicated waist line. Very tight
skirts may be the vogue next fall with
many "slit" models in evidence.
However, fall is too far off to be con-
sidered. except by style designers and
garment manufacturers. Women are
now interested in the summer ward
robe, In the development of this they
may follow the straight or natural fig
ure silhouette. with simplicity in cut
and design as the guide.
Lingerie frocks will be extremely
popular this summer, yoileS. organdieS.

OF Interest TO Women
NEW EVENING GOWNS FROM PARIS.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. April 16.-It was an oft
repeated statement In Paris during the
spring exhibitions of clothes that no
evening gown shown was intended for
a French woman. The English women
who do not connect any special gayety
with evening clothes, but consider them
a necessity of life after o'clock in the
evening, continue to exploit them, but
the American woman never deases to
buy them, and 50 France designed new
ones for her.
With the exception of the house OF
Cabot there was no serious attempt to
build evening gowns of costly and ex-
travagant materials. with a sensational
decolletage or lavish and expensive
trimmings.
Paquin, Cheruit, Doeuillet and many
Of the other great designers reflected the
edict against low gowns in Paris by
creating costumes which We're filny and
fascinating, but which covered the neck
and arms.

Evaporated Vegetables.

To the Editor of The Star:
Indications multiply that the price OF
keeping the human craw full the com
ing season will not only not reduce, but
largely increase.
The latest is the story told by the
Gamers. that If they could get half as
many more cans as their normal output
they could put them all out, but as it
seems they cannot get that many, they
will be compelled to raise the price on
what they do put out; presumably in
order to make as much money as If they
had put out the greater quantity.
A number of other reasons have just
about the same proportion of truth and
bluff as this one. so it strikes the writer
that the consumer should work back
bluff in the effort to take the starch out
of one or two of them.
A great deal could be done by getting
vegetables during the summer and
evaporating them at home. Any intelli-
gent person should be able to succeed,
especially when we consider the broil-
ing hot weather enjoyed by this town.

SEINE OVER ROSE-COLORED SAT-
IN. THERE is A LARGE DESIGN OF
SILVER THREADS ON THE MOUSSE
LINE.
to Introduce a colored velvet bodice cut
to the collar bones. but this was too
warm and stuffy for the American houses.
This transparent bodice, as Paquin
sees it. is admirable 1t is far more be-
coming than deeply decollete frock,
because the skin of almost every wom
an is really lovelier when yelled with
a transparent fabric that does not de-
stroy the texture of the flesh beneath it.

with the bodice of tulle or bullion net
or some exquisite bit of weaving that
gives dignity to an evening occasion.
When gowns are made of tulle or of
this new quality of fine mousseline, the
absence of bare shoulders is not det-
triment to a woman's looking her best
under the electric lights. Every one
knows that few women have good look
ing arms and that II they are yelled
with tulle they are enhanced. There
fore no one should cavil at this new
fashion, for it not only lends itself to a
certain sobrety of costumery which is
fitting in time of stress. but it adds to
the appearance of every woman who
adopts it.

daylight at that, was. to Nibbler's little
mind, nothing short of craziness. He
had done his very best to get them to
give up the idea of that long journey
and to stay with him in the barn. But
they would go. Danny had laughed at
Nibbler's fears. And now here ats the
very start his worst fears were likely
to be realized. At least that is the way
it looked to Nibbler.
But Danny and Nanny Meadow
Mouse were brought up out under the
sky instead of under a roof. and that
made all the difference In the world.
All their lives they had been used to
unexpected dangers, and they were not
