smart and unusually shiny, is car
ried with tailored suits, beaded or
embroidered bags with frocks, the
pale colored silks and satins with
evening dresses. The bags beaded
with steel beads are very smart in
deed and there are ways of using the
beads with embroidery which make
the steel-beaded bag a less expensive
matter. The colored beads are less
expensive and make very beautiful
bags.
Part of the effectiveness of bag
Lies in the lining. 1t is always of
contrasting color-a lighter color in
dark bag, usually brighter color
in light one. The fowered and
striped silks make very dainty lin

TIME now to take thought at the
beginning of the season as to
whether you will add or SUBJ
stract a cubit from the part of your
stature that is taken care of by your
corset. You will waste little time on the
subject of addition. The problem that
every woman ponders deeply is making
herself look as slender as possible.
That way lies youth and suppleness,
the joy and comfort of a slim, 1.-the
figure. The lines of the modern cor
set have been brought to such high
standard of perfection that little
change seems either possible or desir-
; ton, in curve, gives support and does
not even hint at compression. The
skirt is long enough to take care of
the flesh of the thigh, the bust suffi
GENTLY low to leave the figure soft
and natural looking. The brassiere
has replaced, most satisfactorily, the.
high-bust corset. 1t takes care of
the bust without resorting to the
boned casque-like medium of the
old-time corset.
The front-lace corset is growing
steadily in popularity. 1t gives a
beautiful line at the back and is very
easy to lace evenly. The good points
of the back lacing are too obvious to
require comment.
~OOD comes from all things,
u even comedy, musical or unmu-
sical as the case may be. For
are not our new pajamas directly
traceable to Billy Burke and chorus
ladies of lesser fame? Certainly no
musical show of the year has been
complete without these newest things
in nighties Some claim them for the
"sleep Of the just" but they seem to
warrant more wide awake admira-
ton. For who wants to take even
forty winks, for beauty, with a pair
of flesh-pink wash-satin pajamas to
ponder over? Sometimes the ire
sistible ruffles are blue, the palest of
blue to be sure, and then again they
gain confidence and boldly display
themselves in turquoise Georgette.
Crepe de Chine of a delicate flesh

~HE new modes are military, OF
if they are not actually braid
bound and brass-buttoned in
uniform fashion, at least they show
the influence of the war in their in
creasing simplicity and practical
character. One effect that war will
have upon American fashions will be
to make them more French than they
have been since August, 1914. This
is not due solely to the entente cord.
is not due solely to the entente cordiale.
Since the outbreak of the war France
has tried to create two distinct types
of dress-one to suit the conditions
in France, one to meet our prosper
ity here. Now the conditions and in
terests in the two countries have be-
come identical and there will be but
one fashion-the pure French, with
all it's fine simplicity and distinction.
French dress has never been more
attractive than during the last three
years, and we are fortunate in finding
all war problems and questions work
ed out for US by creators who are not
only past masters is designing, but
who have had actual experience of
war work and war conditions.
It is in the new suits, trench coats,
coat capes and cape coats that the
military spirit will be most felt in
fashion. These styles lend themselv-
es to service colors-the olive drabs,
horizon blues, dust and khaki colors
and navy blues and grays. They fall
naturally into military lines and take
unto themselves the belts, pockets,
buttons, braid and insignia of the
service. All coats are quite simple
and tailored, and the skirts that are
worn with them are narrow in line
and short enough for all business un-
dertakings, for every woman works
today. With the tailored suits the
new high stocks and jabots are smart
and becoming.
In the new suit materials the twllls
and gabardines are very popular be-
cause they can be had in the service
shades of drab and dust color. Navy
blue serge is more highly thought of
tweeds, checks and covert are smart
for the present tailored styles.
Dresses are less militant in appear
ance than suits. The one-piece dress,
with the long body is shown with an
incredible variety of effects. The
blouse dress meets the need Of many
women. Afternoon dresses and silk
frocks are made with softly tucked
skirts or simple draperies. On dresses
the neck is always open IN square,
V or rounded line. Sleeves have just
a little fulness except in some of the
simplest dresses, and are long for day
wear.
~HE neck is an essentially fem
inine subject. 1t is not wise to
L say too surely what, it will lor
will not do an hour hence. For the
last six or seven years it has shown
itself amazingly constant to the open
throat. Is it safe to predict that the
time has come when it will tire and
90 back to the high collar? Go slow
ly! 1t may indeed, and again it may
not. Paris has been trying to intro
duce the high neck for several sea-
sons, simply for the sake of change.
It is not as pretty and certainly 1t
is not as comfortable as the open
throat, but it gives the French
vendeuse the, chance to say: "Ah, but
madame, it is new" Last Spring it
appeared in more acceptable form
than before. The jabot, a bit of lac.

BIG IRRIGATION PROJECT
APPEALS TO RAPID ciT

Rapid City, S. D., July ga move
ment has been inausurated here and
In this vicinity to adopt some plan of
conserving the waste waters Of Rapid
creek. Estimates made from official
records show that the volume of water
which flowed down Rapid creek during
the first six months of. this year was
sufficient to cover $4,000 acres of land
with water to a depth of one foot. With
no storage facilities this water now
passes away through the Cheyenne
river and nearly all is lost. It is prob
able the government will be asked to
provide funds for building immense
storage reservoirs. SO the waste water
can be stored for Use during the dry
periods of the, growing season. This
would result in a great increase in the
crop production Of the Rapid creek
valley.
