Cool Summer voiles

Cool Summer Voiles
Cool and refreshing summer
violes in dainty lowered effects are
charming for the informal cotton
frocks, Of which every woman re.
quires several for the distressingly
hot days. Now is the time to get
them made. The styles are gener-
ally simple. Pleated, tucked or
gathered skirts combine with the
simplest Of waists having a little full
ness at the shoulders with an attrac-
tive collar edged with lace or ma
chine picot edging.
Soft pleats finished off with a head
ing at the top Of the skirt are unusu-
ally pretty, as shown in the sketch.
The pulled pockets are a charming
novelty especially suited to this type
of summer frock. A long collar of
white organdy provides the finishing
touch in this dainty hot-weather
frock.
1t is the collar that makes the
blouse in great many cases. Large
cape-like collars falling in points
over the shoulders and continuing
down the front of the waist are now
being worn. A blouse with one of
these new collars is illustrated. 1t is
fashioned of white organdy, which Is
being used a great deal for blouses
The skirt that accompanies this
blouse is of one of the smart wool
plaids. 1t has pocket sections at the
sides, giving a grateful draped eff

Plaids are lovely for sports skirts
and for other kinds of skirts, too.
They are worn with short coats Of a
plain material and with slip-on

400" PAPER IS EXCLUSIVE
The Chronicle Of New York Probes
Ones Family History Before TAX
' lnp Subscription Money.

Every once in q while somebody
does something nobody else ever
thought Of doing, and puts 1t over. All
of which leads us to the Chronicle,
the latest magazine published in New
York, which has been called "of, for
and by society,""
The publishers won't admit this
phrase is the proper one to apply to
1t, but the fact has leaked out that
certain persons who sought to become
subscribers were turned down because
their family histories would not stand
the close scrutiny of the social MI
croscope.
The Chronicle Is published monthly,
at the rate of $12 year, and is not
on public sale. Just who the hackers
Of the project are no one seems to
know. 1t has been said that q certain
group of well known women got to-
gether and said, Isn't II about time
that something be done to kill the idea
that society does nothing but engags
in butterfly balls monkey dlnners,'
all night bathing parties and the
like? Let's get out a magazine that
will show we have real thoughts and
are doing real things. And let's keep
II q secret"

icle office at Fifth avenue. eyes, I'm

"It's lmmaterial who the publishers
of the Chronicle are" he answers to
the direct question.
"Oh, no, 1t would be impossible for
you to see copy. They're for our
subscribers only, and, you know, our
subscribers are invited to subscribe.
Our contributors? Well, they're our
subscribers. That is one of the basic
ideas concerning the Chronicle. The
terms contributors and subscribers are
synonymous"

THE BOYS ARE MARCHING

In 800, 900 American homes the
war has become not merely a ma
tlonal issue but a personal matter
of vital Importance. For 800, 900
American men have answered the
call to the colors and moved from
peaceful homes to the sixteen great
training camps where they are to
be transformed from civilians to
soldiers. They have gone with
cheers and smiling faces, with
flying flags and the inspiring mar
tial music of many bands, but
they have left pain in the hearts of
gray-haired fathers and mothers
and anxious-eyed wives and sisters.
That pain will not die out entirely
III spite of all the bravery and pat
riotism with which these loved
ones are meeting the crisis of sep
aratlon and uncertainty. 1t will
linger in every bosom until the
boys ire home again, if home they
come-or until the anguish of It'd
ings that somewhere in France
another American soldier has laid
down his life on the altar of free
dom brings the climax of sacrifice
and the blessing Of hallowed res
,gnatien.
With each hour now the reality
of wal comes closer to us. 1t is
no longer merely somewhere in
France" 1t is here, at Our fire
sides. 1t has reached out and
plucked from us some Of our brav-
est and best. Few, it is hoped
but will return yet we must, and
do, realize that thousands of our
gallant young men who have gone
to the training camps, SO willingly
and eager to do their part for their
country, will never return to their
homes. That thought must sober
us, but it must not cause us to
falter. We + i'll this war not
lightly nor inpulsively, but sober
ly, regretfully, deternlin edly. Our
consciences are clear and II ideals
are high. We are ready to meet
the sacrifices, bitter though we
know they must be. With the
spirit of our forefathers who won
for us the glorious heritage of lib
erty we shall defend it to the death

A SECOND LIBERTY LOAN

Another Liberty Loan bond sale
IS to be made in October by Uncle
Sam, who must raise millions of
dollars to finance the war. The
first bond sale was over subscribed
and the second should be. Those
who cannot fight should send their
dollars to help their country win
the war. 1t is the idea of the gov
eminent to sell many small bonds
to small investors and get every
body interested in the war.
There is a drawback to the
small bond: Just now some of the
owners of s0all bonds who join the
army or need their money for other
reasons have to accepta small dis
count to convert their bonds into
cash because of the small lot and
amount. This discourages them,
and future bond sales occurring
several times each year for the con-
tlnuance of the war, will find it
difficult to interest small investors.
The government should guaran-
tee the price when millions of
small bonds may be sold, due to
the fact the buyer knows that he
can get his money out at any time
without sacrifice. North Dakota
is asked to take four millions of
dollars in bonds for the October
sale and we should do so. Every
dollar loaned the government helps
that much to end the war.
