OIL NEW COUNCIL
stands indicated, so far as ballots
can do it, of the charges Of treason
cooked up during the campaign.
Though it's hard to replace the
ability and experience of Merriam,
Buck, Sits, and KeaTns in the new
council, the dope is it's going to be a
worse council for the gas-tTactiOn-
Commonwealth Edison gang to han
die than the previous council. Plenty
of oId-timers in the municipal owner
ship movement today said the new
council looks good to them.
If Mayor Thompson reappOints
Jake Loeb to the school board he will
start a rumpus. Jake is supposed to
be a Democrat, and his appointment
by a Republican mayor would be in
stantly confirmed if the councils
Democratic majority was strong for
the Jake Loeb brand Of politics. Not
only is Jake under fire for his savage
and reckless attacks on the Teach
ers' Federation, wTecking civil seTv-
ice. visiting peculiar pUnishments on
women who refuse to obey his orders
and rebuffing wOmen's clubs. Be-
sides this, Jake has spread the re-
Hgious issue around in a way that
isn't to the liking Of some Of the new
aldermen. Mayor Thompson has
said he and Jake Loeb stand for the
same things in the public school sys-
TEN and it is expected he will re-
appoint Jake.
Expiration of the street car mems
wage agreement this summer may

raise of 1915 was 1872 per cent.
Since then the cost Of living has

clothing.

FOR SCHOOL DAYS.
Fall Coat important Part of
Little Girls Wardrobe.
Modish Garment for the Child of Seven
or Eight Years Can Easily Be
Fashioned at Home.

School days will come around again,
and modish little coats and smart
sailor hats, each dressed and trimmed
up wee bit just to take the sharp
edge off of The serious business of be-
coming educated, will be in order.
The midsummer wardrobe of the aver
age active Juvenile is usually pretty
well ready for the rag bag at the sum-
mer's end, and when school begins
there are professions of Riddles in
brand new clothes.
The little coat shown in the sketch
is an excellent late summer or early
fall model, and it may easily be fash
Toned at home with entirely satisfac-
tory results.
Lightweight velour cloth, broad
clcth, wool Jersey cloth, serge or
gaberdine are commended as admir-
able materials, with an overlap collar
of faille silk or satin. Velvet is smart,
but it is much warmer looking than
either silk or satin and may be re-
served for use on winter garments.
The back of the coat is conferred with
panel extending from the yoke and
held securely at the waistline on
either side by the pocket strap and
button. The coat may, of course, be
developed in any preferred color, but
the high shades are favored for chill
dren, and if a somber color is chosen

DARK BLoUsES NOW WORN
Match Color of Separate Skirts of
TaiIor-Made Suits and Give One
Piece Dress Effect.

To go with the dark blue separate
skirts of tailor-made suits there is a
new blouse. That is to say, blouse
designers have created pretty dark
blouses that will appeal to those wom-
en- who must economic. Delightful
blouses of crepe de chine, chiffon and
georgette crepe are the result. They
match the color of the dark blue sepa-
rate skirts. This gives one-piece
dress effect.
So they will not look too dark and
will be becoming, the designers have
had the good idea to tighten them up
with vest and collars of lighter and
contrasting colors. Thus a dark blue
crepe de chine waist can have collar
and cuffs of white Organdie. A navy
blue georgette crepe waist can have a
panel vest of light sand-colored geOrg-
cite and a large spiral or oval motif of
blue and sand-colored beads each side
Of the front. Such waist may be
worn under or over the skirt.

PITFALLS FOR PLUMP WOMAN
Contrasting Materials and Distinct
Lines Must Be Avoided if One
Would Appear Slender.

The plump woman should avoid con-
traSting colorS and materials. Anything
that goes to form distinct lines is fatal
If one would look slender. Large pat
terms and wide stripes are equally bad.
A modest pin stripe is permissible, but
the awning effects are not for the we'll
developed. Do not draw in the lines at
the waist, this only makes more notice
able the fullness of the hips and bust.
The bodice should always be long. If
Josephine had weighed $50 pounds we
should never have had the empire
gown.
Short skirts are among the impos-
sibilities. Every inch taken from the
length of the gown is one inch deduct
ed from woman's height, causing her
proportions to become more and more
out of drawing.
Concerning hats, neither the very
small nor the very large will do for
Mrs. Adipose Tissue. Usually the mod
erately sized chapeau with slightly
rolling brim is best. Standing wings
and high loops of ribbon form the best
trimming.

Fall Coat for Schoolgirl.

the coat should be frightened by a
gay lining, either of one tone or plaid
taffeta or satin.
To make this coat for a girl of seven
or eight years two and one-half yards
of material SO inches wide will be re-
quired, with one-quarter of a yard of
satin or silk for the overlap collar.
The attractive sailor hat has q
crown top and brim edging of velvet.
The brim proper and major portion of
the crown are of satin, the latter, as
will be noted, shirred so that the hat
is really self-trimmed, although silk
pompon at the very top Is added for
good measure.

WATER WAVES ARE PRETTY
If Hair curIs Least Bit When Washed
This Style of Dressing Can Be
Adopted Successfully.

If your hair curls the least bit when
It is washed, you can have it water
waved most successfully, says the New
York Herald.
The hairdresser takes a small brush,
dipping it in bowl Of water, and vets
evenly all the hair. Then he takes
comb and draws and shapes the hair
into becoming large waves about the
face, sticking in hairpins here and
there. so the wave viii keep its
beautiful curves.
These waves are shaped somewhat
like marcel wave, but twice or three
times as large, and brought down over
the forehead and over in front of the
ears. The remainder Of the hair is
drawn into a small fat knot.
A hair net is pulled tightly over the
whole hair. The electric hair dryer is
then turned on and the hair quickly
dried.

but combed out 1t Is lovely
