of silk or wool jersey in white and colors are, of course, very smart this
 season. A new model developed in
 green wool jersey is shown in the ac- companying sketch. It is made with
 a plain panel in front, and the side !
 and back are slightly gathered. The
 novel feature of this skirt is the
 pocket section at the side. Many of
 the new skirts show this feature
 treated in various ways. In the de sign illustrated, the pointed ends of
 the lower section are buttoned to the upper section. One of the smart
 blouses of the season which would be
 welcome addition to any woman's
 wardrobe is pictured with this skirt. | It is of fine handkerchief linen with
 an embroidered spray across thu front and collar and cuffs edged with
 narrow crocheted lace. This is a
 blouse that slips on over the head, and
 as it has no opening, there is nothing to interfere with the embroidery which spreads itself across the front Laces and hand-drawn work are other decorations used for summer blouses with charming effect.
 voile and Gingham
 The success of gingham has been
 quite amazing and it is interesting to follow the development of frocks of this material. The tie-on frocks of gingham with white pique collars and
 cuffs have been exceedingly popular,
 and now those of voile and gingham
 combined seem to be making as strong
 an appeal to women as the former. The striking contrast of white voile with brightly colored plaids is appar- ently very much favored In some
 models the waist is entirely of white and the skirt, collar and cuffs of the
 plaid gingham.
 In other designs a section of the waist, as well-as the skirt, is made of gingham. The model for misses illus trated here shows this effective devel-
 opment with collar, sleeves and sides of the dress of white voile and the
 main part of the dress of gingham. The draped skirt shown in this design is a feature which should be noted for draperies of this kind are very prominent at present. This style of
 drapery is quite practical in tub frocks and is not limited only to silks
 The side draperies on the skirts offer
 very refreshing change from the
 straight lines, though they have by no
 means supplanted them. Draperies
 are not only placed about the hips but
 often fall as low as the knees and
 even a little lower at times. There

STAND BEHIND OUR
 FIGHTING MEN

America today is filled with young men of the country who wear their country's uniform and who have of fered their lives to the service of the country. Every city, every town, every hamlet, every country community has some of its boys in the military uni form of their country. They are the very flower of our young manhood.
 They are the men who are to go to the battle front. How effective they will be there, how safe they will be there depends on the support that their country gives them. The slower the United States is to exert it's full power and put an end to the carnage in Europe the more of those Ameri- cans who are now in France and those who soon are to join them will suffer death and the greater number of American homes will be made desol- ate.
 It is not to be believed that some national catastrophe, some calamity that will be shameful to us if it comes from lack of preparation or from our failure to stand behind our soldiers, must occur to awaken our people to their duty.
 The soldiers of the United States are standing by their country with steady courage and devotion to duty that should inspire the Nation with pride and patriotism and loyalty. Some of them now are facing death for their people, are participating in the great battles in Europe to make the world safe for Democracy, to in sure our own safety and to vindicate our honor. We who remain here ir peace and safety must surely do our part.
 The Liberty Loan of 1917 was authorized for the purpose of, and its proceeds are being spent in arming equipping, supplying, and carrying for | the soldiers of the United States and to assist our Allies who are fighting by their side in France. In support ing the Liberty Loan the people of America are supporting our soldiers, are standing behind the men behind the guns. We should support our 1 soldiers with all of our means, all of our resources, all of the combined might and power of the great nation 1 that we are.

it is worn with white or colored skirts. In the shear blouses, voile, organdie and handkerchief linen are the mate rials must used, but this summer they are wearing blouses of China silk, which material launders perfectly and is just as cool as possible. To ac- company these, there are skirts O. white tub satins and sports silks which are made up in pleated or gathered models. These soft wash skirts are especially practical in the gathered styles. They are shirred at the waist and sometimes finished with heading and belt. A number of these have pretty gathered or shirred pockets which make them ever so much more attractive.
 For service as we'll as smartness there is nothing better than the white gabardine skirt, which has no fear of the tub. It is very much in demand this summer and sometimes comes with colored stripes or dots. Skirts

A Long Dry Spell

Gov. Livingston Beechman, ot Rhode Island, said in Providence, apropos of the gigantic strides that the temperance movement is taking.
 "The whole country now seems to look at excess as the young wife did.
 "Jim dear," said young wife. Il do wish you'd stop drinking. Every time you go to one of those banquets of yours you get up the next morning pale and silent, you eat nothing, you just gulp down ten or fifteen glasses of water. Do stop drinking, won you? I know it cant be good for you, dear"
 "All great men have been drinking men," said Jim. "Look at Poe, at Charles Lamb, look at Burns, look at.
 "Well, Jim," said the young wife, "you just swear off till you become a great man, too, and I'll be satisfied

are draped tunics, also, which are particularly pretty in soft evening dresses.
 Organdie as a Trimming
 A dress of ruffled organdie or bat iste is one of the smart things to have this summer. Organdie collars with rows of tiny hemstitched self ruffies have been very popular to go with dresses and suits of wool material. Now they are being used on summer frocks of batiste and null. On a dress of deep rose-colored null, this ruffled organdie, in white, was used for a large collar which extended down to the waist and crosses in front. It was also used for the cuffs and gathered pockets and even placed at the hem of the skirt with the ruff fles in up-standing position. These tiny ruff1es are about half an inch in width and placed close together, al- most overlapping one another. Collar and cuffs sets in this style, of white or light blue, are worn with dark blue dresses, and sometimes fine lace takes the place of the organdie ruffles.

New York, August 6, 19l1
 Vacation time brings the need fol more than the usual number of prac' tical clothes-this, we all know b! experience. Among other things those who plan their vacation ward robes with foresight will include 6 goodly number of separate waists ano skirts. The waists may even be plan ned with a view to wearing them ir the fall with the coat suit or with separate skirts.
 From the comfortable morning smock to the sheer and dainty blouse for afternoon wear, there is certainly a very large variety of interesting blouses this summer. The practical white blouse that launders nicely is deservedly favorite, for when fresh from the tub it never fails to give the wearer that crisp, fresh look, whether
