FRoCKS OF JUMPER VARIETY
Idea Carried Out by Bib Effect In
Front and Sometimes in Back, OF
Same Material as skirts.

Some of the afternoon dresses Tor
summer seem to be modelled somewhat
on the idea of a bretelle or jumper
dress. There is a bib effect In 'front.'
and sometimes in back, of taffeta, satin
or of whatever the skirt may be made.
This allows considerable of the blouse.

the dress. The sleeves often stop De-
tween the elbow and wrist. The loose
pagoda or coat sleeve type of sleeves
are most favored, because they are
new and particularly suited for sum
mer wear. They are not cut too Wiue'
about sixteen inches In circumference
at the lower edge.
Foulard silk In coin spots or pencil
stripes is the favorlte material Tor
these jumper dresses. The guimpes
are of lingerie or georgette crepe.
Jumper frocks of linen also are seen'
those made of washable satin combined
with net.
Georgette crepe is still considered
the ideal fabric for afternoon dresses,
and volles, both cotton and silk, which
have the charm Of newness. Plain ana
figured voile are combined with arts
tic effect in lovely afternoon gowns.
The upper part may be Of the figured
or checked voile with the lower part OF
the plain.

PUTTING IN THE SKIRT HEM
Home Dressmaker Can Do Job Smooth
Iy With WooIen Frocks by Means
of Shrinking.

Home dressmakers frequently ma 1t
difficult to put in the, hem OF Woolen
frock smoothly. This can be done with
little trouble by means of shrinking,
Place a damp cloth over the hem and
press from the lower edge OF the skirt
toward the top. All the extra fullness
can be entirely shrunk out, providing
the hem is not too wide.
This method does away with small
plaits usually found in hem, the lines
of which are almost sure to show on
the outside Of the skirt when the hem
is pressed.
In finishing the edge Of the hem do
not turn the cloth in. Baste the raw
edge fat to the other part Of the skirt
and over this edge lay fiat piece Of
seam binding. Sew the edge that does
not 20 through the right side with silk
or cotton thread, but the top edge
should be sewed with thread Of the
fabric, drawn from lengthwise piece
Of the material, not crosswlsa

WILLING to Be Good.

Albert Chevalier tells the follow.
ing:
zone night" remarked the famous
comedian, 'in a certain music hall
where there was a notoriously bad
orchestra, the manager suddenly ap-
peared on the stage and apologized
for the absence Of a favorite comic
singer whose name was great fea-
ture.
"The manager explained that he had
every reason to believe that the artist
In question would positively appear
later on; and then, by way of throw
ing oil on troubled waters, suggested,
in order to avoid wait, that the audi
ence should be favored with little
music.
"As he announced this, pathetic
voice in the gallery was heard:
"Oh, 1 soy, Mr.. Manager, Wen be
good If yer don't let the band play!"

TRUE BEAUTY FROM WITHIN
Beautiful Skin, Outward Sign Of In
ward Health, Depends Most Of
All on Perfect Digestion.

True beauty comes from within, In
stead of from without. A healthy
skin Is the outward sign and the natuI-
al result of inward health.
A muddy or dingy skin is evidence
Of the presence of poisOns-poisons
that are more than skin deep. 1t
means the accumulation Of tissue
wastes and particles of wornout mate
rial lying about the cells Of the body,
clOgging the tissues, interfering with
all the functions of the skin, clogglng
the brain, paralyzing the nerve CEN
ters and enervating the bodily ener-
gies.
A dingy skin cannot be cured by ex-
ternal applications. Cosmetics may
conceal the evidence of external grim
mess, but the griminess itself must
be got rid Of by a simple and pure
diet.
A natural diet of fruits, grain and
nuts is most conducive to a clear,
healthful and beautiful complexion.
Cheese, oysters, sausage, rich pas
tries, condiments and foods Of this
kind cOnduce to the production of
hollow cheeks, dark -circled eyes and a
leathery skin, which no cosmetics,
baths or external applications Of any
sort can remedy.
Clean living is required to produce
a clear skin-cne that is clean all the
way through, and transparent enough
to let the bright, pure blood coursing
in the arteries beneath shine through,
thus producing the bloom Of health.
A beautiful skin depends most Of all
upon perfect digestion. The processes
of digestion have direct bearing upon
the color of the cheeks, which usually
show pretty well whether a woman is
enjoying good health and is free from
digestive disorders.

ParasoIs for Summer.

The parasol, which has been some
what neglected for several summers,
is again high in favor. In its new
form it Is delightfully."- fanciful, and
both care and ingenuity have been ex-
pended upon it's fashloning. Those
most practical are, Of course, in the
plain one-tOne effects in dark or medi-
um coloring, and Of these there is an
ample supply in all the mOdish color
ings. To be smart, one Of these plain
parasols must have an effective ham
die, and in recognition Of this fact the
manufacturers have been bringing out
handles that are beautiful and ex-
ceedlngly clever in design. The bright
hued enamels are particularly effec-
tive, and they go well with the gay
hues of sports hats and sports cos
tunes. These cleaning enamels come
in beautiful reds, green's, blues, pur-
pies, yellows and rose tints.

CICUTA IS DANGEROUS
Little Known Plant Menace to
Men and Domestic Animals.
Uncle Sans Specialists Issue Warn
Ing Against Poisonous Roots Not
Generally Recognized.

Many deaths, both OF huMAn beings
and domestic animals, are caused every
year by clcuta, or water hemlock, .
poisonous plant. It is the most vio-
lently poisonous of temperate region
plants, yet 1t is not generally recog-
nized. Learn TO know II and look out
for II is n warning issued by special
lists OF Uncle Sans department Of
agriculture who have published cir
cular which describes this plant and
gives remedies, though cases among
domestic animals must be considered
as practically hopeless so far as treat
ment is concerned.
Cicuta is widely distributed. Unfor-
tunately, IL resembles n number Of
harmless plants and is not easily
recognizable. 1t belongs to the same
family as carrots and parsnips. 1t has
a number Of popular names, Of which
the most common is "cowbane," or
"water hemlock." In the mountain re-
gions Of the West 1t is frequently
called "parsnlp" or wild parsnip."
Other names, less common, are "snake-
root" 'snakewoOd," "beaver poison"
''muskrat weed" spotted hemlock,"
and spotted parsley"
The plant grows In wet places and is
especially common in some parts of
the West along lrrigating bitches. 1t
has a thickened rootstock with roots
which sometimes take the form of a
group of tubers. The cicuta is most
readily distinguished from plants of
similar appearance growing under the
same conditions by the transverse
chambers In the rootstock. These can
be seen by making longitudinal Sec
tion.
Only the root Of cicuta is poisonous.
Cases Of poisoning are more frequent
in the spring, partly because the roots
are more likely to be noticed at that
time and partly because they appear
to be more poisonous then than later
in the season.
In cases of the poisoning Of human
beings the recognized treatment is to
give an efficient emetic, followed by
cathartic. Some form of opium may
be given to control the convulsions
when they are violent. If free vomit-
ing is promptly produced, the patient
is likely to recover.
So far as live stock Is concerned,
about all that can be done must be In
the way of prevention. If the land is
plowed where the plant grows, care
should be taken that no roots are left
where stock can get at them. Where
the plants grow in great abundance, as
they frequently do along irrigating
bitches, it is desirable to dig them
out. When this is done the roots
should not be left on the surface, but
should be destroyed. 1t is seldom that
stock are poisoned when grazing, un-
less they Craze along bitches, where
the plants sometimes grow almost in
the water with very little soil and can
easily be pulled up.
Perhaps there is no way to prevent
some cases of poisoning Of children, 1t
is declared. Something might be ac-
complished, however, If parents and
teachers would attempt to make clear
to children the danger Of eating
strange roots.

French Lessons Part of
Marines War Training

"Ray-vay-yay mwha kong Ter
dee-nay ser-ah pray" is the
proper way to tell Frenchman
to wake up when dinner is
ready, according to a little
"French in one lesson" that has
been distributed among the
United States marines who are
going to France.
Every sea-soldier on the firing
line will be supplied with a
handy little pocket dictionary
that contains about a thousand
practical words and phrases, to-
gether with the phOnetlcal pro-
nunciation, according to Hanni-
bal, Charlemagne, or whoever it
was that originated the French
language. 1t is just the size to
fit handily into the breast-pOcket
of a uniform.
Doubtless the little poilu will
lend a hand to his American
comrade when it comes to a par
ticularly knotty problem. Should
the sea-soldier become peeved at
the intricacies Of the language,
he may say: "Ock-oo-pay"-
Just like that. 1t means,
''Busy."

USE LEATHER AS TRIMMING
Idea Is Expected to Be Extended From
Motor Coats to Suits, Dresses and
Even Millinery.

One of the possible results Of the
military styles being featured this sea-
son Is the greater use Of leather by
way of trimming.
While heretofore certain Of the
motor coats have shown collars, cuffs
and belts of suede, or of glazed leath-
er, 1t is now anticipated that suits,
dresses, wraps and even millinery will
be decorated with leather in various
colors, and in schemes necessitated by
the fact that such garniture will be,
in effect, the byproduct or waste of
large skins used for army purposes.
Thus, as has been proved frequently in
the history of dress, novelty will be
the outcome of economy and necessity.

WILL COMBAT FOOD INSECTS
New Branch Of the Department Of
Agriculture Is Gre
ated.

Another forward step in Uncle
Sans campaign to conserve the ma
TONS food as a war measure is the
creation of a new branch of the de-
partment of agriculture which will be
devoted exclusively to control of in
sects infesting stored food products.

A new BLOUSE TYPE

Peplum blouses have made rather
determined effort during two entire
seasons Immediately past to gain gen
eral favor. But they have been ac-
corded rather uncertain attention. In
the first place, 1t is difficult to wear
peplum blouse becomlngly. 1t is unbe-
coming to the average figure and
should be selected only by women with
slender and youthful lines.
However, the one now appearing is
different from It's predecessors, says
the Washington Star. Instead Of the

Sewing or hemmlng with a thread
of the material Is a little secret that
even dressmakers know of, and its
practice will give the most satisfactory
results.
This metAod makes the stitches as
invisible as the weave of the cloth and
should be useu in every part of the
suit or dress where invisible sewing
is desired. OF course some fabrics will
not permit of the ravellng Of the
threads, but wherever possible the
method should be tried out.

WOULD REDUCE FIRE RISKS
Insurance Companies Start Campaign
for Greater Precautions With Back
ing of Uncle Sam.

Fire insurance companies have un-
dertaken to obtain the backing of
state councils Of defense in a war
measure campaign to reduce fire risks
by educating property owners concern
ing the importance of cleanliness and
orderliness in homes, industrial plants,
and grain, food and cotton storages.
Director Clifford of the council Of
national defense sent to state councils
the offer Of the national board Of fire
underwriters to do this work, with a
recommendation that the offer be &C
cepted.
