Performers,

eve are confronted by the demand of the interpretative artist" says Will who places the function of criticism upon high plane would wish to say very little. Tine consideration of the performer is the least important office of real criticism, but unfortunately it is the one on which the public lays the largest attention. You may write many pages assailing the fame of Beethoven and no one will take issue with you; but expose the paltry pre- lenses of some, third-rate opera sing CT and the yials of wrath are opened"

from the use of tucks and ruf1es and there is perhaps no more notable fea- ture of the season than the way in which materials are handled to trim themselves. Very little lace and very little applied trimming is used. Fine sewing, fine tucks, shirrings and little ruffies are in every way charming and childlike. If you want to make this very dainty little dress use fine cotton voile with pretty little flower design and do all the sewing by hand. For the tailored dresses gingham is favorite material this season and there are linens and cotton gabardines and cotton cheviots and a long list of wash able fabrics that are pleasant to wear. They are not difficult to launder and they make very smart little frocks. Almost ever hing that ia made in wool is copied in cotton SO that there is very wide variety from which to choose. One of the dresses in the group shows plaid gingham trimmed with plain linen and one of the p'aited dresses is made of white cotton gabar- dine with trimming of blue and white plaid. The third one is made of a blue linen with trimming of white linen stitched with blue, and stitchings are used to give charming effects to very great extent. Contrasting color makes

8 very notable feature of the seasons fashions while fancy stitchery can be made as elaborate as embroidery or braid.
 For the sailor suit nothing is quite so good as white trimmed with blue or blue trimmed with white, but this is erock that is seen in cotton khaki as well as in these standard colors and it is very pretty in khaki trimmed either with blue or with red. For the grown-ups, simple blouses or shirt waists with separate skirts are much in favor for morning wear in the country and for all simple occasions. The skirt that is shown here is one ot the best possible. It is a simple straight one with soft plaits and big pockets and with very wide girdle that gives a smart finish. The model is to be seen in every material from the sports silks to the simple cotton fabrics, but since it is the lines that make the smartness, it will be good in whatever material you choose. The blouse makes very excellent model for everyday morning use. It is made in mannish style with simple rolled- over collar. A good material for such a blouse is Shantung in it's natural color with the collar and cuffs stitched with brighter color

"Neuritis is the latest bug bear to the modern up-to-date physi- clan, and when you suffer from. 1t he immediately orders all your teeth ex-. tracted-or at least as many as he dares. My physician compelled me to have six taken cut. Ky dentists office Is on the sixth foo. of a downtown building, but after my .aeth were gone I couldn't say sixth, bat thlcSth. This sounded absurd, coming from a grown woman of my weight and dignity, and l suspected the grins of my fellow passengers in the elevator. The next day told the elevator boy to let me off at the seventh floor. and this l did every day, walking down to the sixth. The boy noted my strange conduct and undoubtedly thought me crazy"
