Fashion, Reflections

Dotted foulards line and in some
instances trim many OF the separate
coats for spring.
looped or draped skirts are sure to
come, and we will like them, too, for
as advance models they arc graceful
and becoming.
Delightfully."- crisp, clean-looking
collars Of organdie, and sometimes
cuffs as well, give the final touch OF
smartness to navy serge dresses.
Expect TO see many mannish-tail-
ored suits, severely plain in cut and
finish, and principally in gray and
navy. Scrges, twill and jersey are the
most generally used fabrics. rs
Never were more picturesque styles
in veil draping adopted by brides than
those in vogue today, The old coronet
arrangement adding height to the fig
urc has given way TO flllet and cap.
Stunning skirts are of oyster white
silk, made in gathered style with ex-
! aggerated pockets, the openings OF
the latter stitched in many rows with
colored silk. The skirt is hemmed.
Separate vests or vestees separate
or attached to the coat or jacket are
a spring novelty. These vests permit
OF an effective touch OF color that i.
very pleasing, because so many of the
suits are somber in tone.
Beads, silk and cotton floss, braid
ing and chain stitching are used sep
arately or in combinations of two o,
three on dresses and blouses, aus
sometimes on suits; and not infre
Equently on coats, especially of ;
dressy type.
Tea gowns are numerous and beau
tiful. Many are composed OF two con
trasting colors, and most of them ar,
enhanced by heavy Oriental girdles o
beads or metal, or combination o
both Of these with heavy silk cord O
ribbon.
When il comes to the bridesmaid
frocks there is no end to delightful
1 possibilities, Models quaint, pictur
esdue, artistic, or merely beautiful il
conservative fashion are to be sect
on every side and extravaganza is no
necessary, for some OF the most at
tractive things for bridesmaids pur
poses are comparatively simple.

Swears Falsely
About His Age TO
Enlist in U. s. Navy

A worried mother appealed TO
Lieu enant Waddell to get her son
releajed from the navy.
Tears formed in her eyes and she
went away bordering over the best
course to. pursue.
The lad had furnished a forged
paper, purporting to be the mother
consent to his enlistment, she said
The boy is under 10 years OF age, but
swore he was past 10, because he was
anxious to join the fighting forces
If you do not press the case said
the lieutenant, your boy will stay in
the navy and have no trouble. But il
you do want TO get him out on the
grounds that he misrepresented his
age and forged your consent, he will
get out of the navy only TO go to
prison for his offense."

Things to Can.
Beets, corn, rhubarb, peas, beans
and Swiss chard are the best vegeta-
bles to can, said the club women, al
though two women from Germany
yentured luscious recipes Of picked
pumpkin and picked prunes, which
