CAVALRY VERY IMPORTANT.
The cavalry branch of the army has
been found to be highly important and
useful In the present war-England and
France using them in furious charges
upon the trenches Of the "Boche." It
Is matter Of record that while tho
"Boehe" is immune to artillery and
rifle fire, he quails before determined

that the intrepid cavalrymen went thru
with hardly any opposition and cap

The "buckaroos" who enlist now Will
be sent to Fort Douglas, Utah, and from
there to one of the large cantonments.
They will be thoroughly trained in sci

 The Fashionable silhouette in Paris seems as variable as a weather vane. The main thing. these days, seems to achieve individuality, where evening costumes are in question; in sport dress styles are much alike-there is variation in color and in material but Nnes give a composite silhouette.

These smock- k-blouses are usually of chiffon, ornamented with bands and motifs of bead trimming and some of the color com binations are indescribably beautiful. For example one smock is of Nile green chiffon with framing Of blue chiffon embroidered in silver threads. the blue chiffon joined to the green under lines of turquoise beads A silver girdle of the type shown in one of the Illustrations, finishes the blouse. By ''framing''-above re- ferred to, the couturier means out, lining a blouse with trimming or con trasting material. There is, for in- stance, the trimming band around the flower edge of the garment and the bands or cuffs that edge the sleeve A circular, square or " shaped band outlines the neck according to the way it is cut, and extensions from this band run down around the arm holes, framing" them and the neck opening with the. contrasting trim
 ming. This is a very effective way, of  finishing a smock- blouse, and the framing material may be set in with hemstitching if extra daintiness is de- sire-. ~
 A woman who has made herself sev- eral of these dressy srnocks for wear with separate skirts, one skirt of white wash satin and the other of black tafA feta, has used the framing idea with excellent success. white chiffon smock is framed with white satin and has a girdle of crystal beads this for wear with the white skirt. A black chiffon smock is framed with jet band trimming, and there is a smock of electric blue chiffon with bands of white milk bead trimming, and a smock of cerise chiffon with framing of the same chiffon used in double thickness and hemstitched at the joining edge.

~HOUGH the tunic. or smock- ~ blouse is at its best on a tall
 and slim figure. the woman who
 is not slim can wear 1t if she is careful about the way it hangs below the waistline, and about it's length be- low the waistline, also. The shorter the figure. as a rule. the longer should be the tunic; any line bisecting the skirt between belt and knee should be avoided by a too-short woman, especially if she Is also too-stout woman The very short woman who is also very thin can wear any sort of smock-blouse she chooses, for in her case proportions are not distorted. and usually the more trimming her costume shows below the waistline. the more pettss and youthful she ap- pears.
 If, however, one Is unfortunate enough to possess both enbonpoipt and yearning for a smock-blouse, the only advice possible Is: Be care full Have all trimmings on the smock follow up-and- down lines; keep the silhouette as straight as possible by wearing the belt loose and rother low; and choose a snock of soft. slimpsy

Over the white tuniS lengths of black satin trail downward from the left shoulder and clasp over the hips with cut steel buckles, one end of the drapery trail-. ing on the floor at the back while the other end forms a short over skirt. The material gives no sugges- ton of cutting or sewing anywhere, yet the lines of the gown are marvellous. As in the case of most c1everly cut French gowns, what stitches there are, hidden away in the skeleton of the costume, are placed with consum- mate skill. Every stitch tells in a French frock you may be sure-and you may be sure to, that every stitch is set with silk; no French couturier would stoop to using cheap thread in the seams of creation going out to express his or her Individuality and genius.

 l Lace LavishIy Used This Summer.
 So many of the summer dance frocks are made of lace that the un-

are formal affairs suitable for after noon wear. There are also smock- blouses for sport wear. and for morn material. A pretty smcck of. the lat ter type is of white cotton lawn with trimming band, collar. cuffs and belt of lowered cretonne; and there are smocks of white lawn trimmed with dotted lawn; and of dotted lawn with plain white lawn or pique trimming. There is wide variety of choice in material and in manner of trimming when it comes to smock b1ouses, and so many different ideas are represent ed in the shops that one need not fear to meet duplicate of ones own par ticular smock all summer. A useful smock of sage green crepe de chine is pictured. Cool, light. easy to get into and comfortable to wear, this is the ideal smock for a mornings shopping in town; or for the business woman. It gives a better dressed appearance for the street than al frock of tub ma terial, yet the latter could scarcely be cooler to wear. The very loose, baggy lines of the smock are cIeverly man aged to give an effect of trimness. Elongated points run up and down from the narrow belt. and the full sleeve is gathered into a slanting cuff. Another good feature which you must not miss is the row of closely placed, tiny buttons running the whole length of each point that extends from the belt. These buttons are green, like the. blouse material, and the belt. cuffs and narrow collar turning down at the back of the neck opening are of green and cream printed crepe. The girl who wears this green smock over her white tussah sport ekirt wears green straw hat with white and green silk covering, and carries a green parasol striped in white.
 There are some very good looking smock blousestof tan pongee. pleated below a shallow yoke and with a deep trimming band attached below the pleats. The blouse falls to the knee and may be worn like a coat over a skirt of tan pongee accompanied by some sheer little blouse of lace or chiffon. A deep collar and cuffs of dotted foulard silk will make the pongee snock. or coat, entirely up to the minute.

 The June Wedding Gown Becomes A ] Dance Frock. ts The average bridal gown is such an impressive affair that it. is very un-.
 conifortable to dance in-oae simply cannot feel free and easy in it, or yield to the spirit of the dance. 4
 handsome wedding gown costs a deal
 of money and few girls can afford, for the sake of sentim ent, to put away | their bridal robes in lavender as heir looms for their grandchildren. Soon-
 CT or later the costume is remodeled I into an evening or dinner frock. and the reconstruction had far better be laccomplfshed immediately. The long. close sleeves may be removed and floating wing sleeves achieved with part of the tulle.veil. The train can I be partly cut. away and looped up |so that. 1t may be easily lifted for l dancing; and the bodice may be made more decollete than would be con- I sidered correct for a bride on her ] wedding occasion.

yelled silk costumes are in the minor ity Perhaps because of this, however, frocks of other materials than lace, stand out with a difference that makes for distinction. But the lace dancing froeks are very loyely-and oh so becoming! The woman does not live, no matter what her age, who does not look better for the wearing of a lace evening frock. Lace brings out the freshness and bloom of youth, and adds grace and charm to old age. A notable lace gown for the matron.
 pictured on today's page, owes it's dis tinction to the unusual color scheme pearl gray and cream. The model
 is so simple in construction that it
 could almost be managed at home, yet this gown came from a very i'm portant house--W Worth, no less. The gray satin skirt falls to the. ankle and the satin bodice rises only to the bust of gray silk net.s, Over, this pearl gray foundation is draped cream em-

 Through this casing is run gray vel

 be drawn in to fit tlleS figure trim1y.
 The lace founcing. which forms the

 made on each side of the skirt.
 Trouser Skirts Even On Evening Gowns.
 Since woman has been emancipated by preparedness occupations and may now wear trodsered garb whenever
 and wherever she wants to. she is
 showing her new independence by all sorts of bifurcated costumes. Even ] the evening gown is not escaping the craze for trouser effects.

 much about evening frocks as 'ND she is about sport clothes, poor
 indeed-in prospect of summer diversion is she who finds no neces- sity for planning at least one or two pretty evening costumes.
