It has been the desire of many of the exclusive dress makers to substitute it almost entirely for the draped and ornate> bodice.
 It is not for every figure-ths bodice on the medieval line. The tendency of the average American woman to develop large diaphragm makes these snug lines rather unbecoming The picture which the artists give us of the truly mediaeval woman. uncorseted and of ample propor- tions. are a bit glorified.

TO FIND 'FRISCOS "COLOR,"
 YOU HAVE TO SNOOP AROUNl

1 San Francisco, July 22.-(Special., Once upon a time I knew a person who
 went to Paris intending to stay a month
 After spending a week he leaped to London, saying, T can't see why people rave over Gay Farce. It's full of Ameri- cans trying to enjoy things they can get much better at home.' was so dis gusted that ever afterwards this person stood in my mind for all that was hope less, drearily dub. I have thought of him several times lately as 1 tried to see in San Francisco the colorful place of my dreams.
 Please understand that I realize there is nothing the matter with San Fran cisco There is something the matter with me It may be the fact that I am always half frozen Since leaving Yuma, Ariz., I do not remember being warm one instant.
 I have longed for sealskin underwear, angora earmuffs and an Eskimo over coat. I have worn all the clothes had, could borrow, or could afford to buy. l have placed newspapers under by jacket I have drunk beakers of scala ing fluids. I have purloined blankets from beds. And still I shiver.
 In Yuma there is nothing but sand and a baking sun. But, oh, you Yuma
 have asked Californians about the climate, but I have still to understand it. The consensus of opinion is that, while 'it is never hot here and is always crip enough for wraps after sundown it is unusual to have 1t as cool as this in June"
 The trouble is, what do they call "hot" and "cool?'' I should call 1t cold in the daytime and freezing at night.
 Excuse me for talking so much about the weather, but outside of the lack of color in San Francisco the weather has been my greatest surprise
 Now as to ''color." I suppose 'color" exists largely in the eyes of the tourist who seeks it. My dub friend in Paris probably would not see "color' in Sor- rento or in Santa Monica. But, like those dear old boys, the Pharisees, have always been thankful I was not like oth- CT folks-that could discern "color," In short!
 BAY A THING OF BEAUTY
 What "color" I have found has been:
 1. The exquisitely beautiful bay, with rose and amethyst lights upon it's it's fairy islands rising from the waves, it's snowy gulls and the bright blue fisher boats.
