EGYPTIAN MOTIF

Have you yet noticed the Egyptian motif in clothes?
 The Paris dressmakers. some of them at least. seem to be working with this idea. and 1t has already reached this country in some forms. One smart shop shows bathing suits decorated with Egyptian motifs in contrasting colors. They are very ef- fective, too. And there is every req son to think that an influx of Egyp- tian ideas might be most welcome in the world of clothes. To us moderns. Egyptian art menas a little stiff, per haps. so far as painting Is concerned. And of course, it is partly from the old wall paintings and the designe that we may now draw for inspira- tion. But the Egyptian had a good idea of the use of colors. an idea that many of our designers and dressmaK- CTS might well adopt. Witness the fine line of black or white that they so usually placed between the more vivid colors.
 Yes. there Is much that is good that might come out of Egypt.
 And, aside from the appeal to beau- ty. isn't there certain psychological reason why Egyptian designs might word Egypt occasionally occurs in the war dispatches, but only occa- sionally. And doesn't the Nile Just now sound about a desirably calm and untroubled as anything you can imagine?
 We spend so much of our energies on war work these days that we like to see a peaceful motif in our clothes. l just for the sake of contrast.

NO WAIST LINE IN
 SIGHT

So far as any change that one might predict in the matter of new corsets planned for the coming season, the novelty all depends on fabric, trim ming and workmanship. Perhaps pink will be used rather more than ever before. But as far as silhouette goes things will go on much the same as ever. Designers and dressmakers who hoped to have more shapely-or one might say a more substantial--foun- dation upon which to fit the gowns of the coming season are doomed to disappointment for the woman of fashion will still go with her figure very little confined. The woman who likes to be very comfortable, and who knows that in comfort is grace will be glad to know that among the new corset models there will be rather more rubber inserts to give elasticity where 1t Is needed most, according to the tpye of figure for which the par ticular corset is designed

beginning to get and it provides.a a way out of wearing the universal coat.
 THE NEW PLAID FABRICS
 The person who does not like plaid need not feel that the autumn will bring a release from it. Just the op- posite is likely to occur There Is no law that will make one wear plaids and checks, if the taste is opposed to this design, but the designers are go- ing to see to it that the world that does like plaid has plenty of choice to make among the costumes that em- body it.
 There will be a continuance of sep arate skirts in plaid. The accepted fashion of -pleated plaId skirt below a black cloth coat which has collar and cuffs of the plaid, has set tied this kind of costume on the fash ionable highways.
 New suits and frocks which will soon be shown in Paris have unusual cravats. gauntlet collars and girdles of plaid, silk and cloth. There are patri- guaze which show faint outline of national colors running across blue background
 The marine cravat. in Scotch plaids, will be widely offered as an enlivening note on f.ocks of somber colors, such as blue, beige and sand colors, jersey and serge.
 Tn chiffon and other fragile fabrics, the plaid design is not as alluring to the woman with artistic tastes as the sumptuous bouquets of half faded flowers known as the Pompadour and Dresden designs, but 1t will be of- fered as a variation from the com monplace. Heretofore we have not seen the Scotch plaids in afternoon and evening gowns. for their Imprint has i been made on sturdy cloth suitable for street use, but it is prophesied from high quarters that this state of af- fairs will change.

TIME TO THINK OF
 JABOTS

It would be bootless to try to pre- dict the cut and style of the suits that will be most in favor In the coming
 autumn, and the wise woman never makes any definite plans at this time of year for next seasons wardrobe. But one thing is certain concerning the street attire. and that Is that the smartly dressed. woman of the autumn will wear jabot and collar combina- tions with the tailored suit. During the weeks that remain of the summer the woman with nimble fingers could make very good use of her time in planning a few smart pieces of neck wear. Large mesh fillet lace will be extremely good and one thing she can remember. and that is that there will be nothing "dinky about the smart iabots. Simplicity is the keynote and 1t is mistake to attempt to use up odds and ends of lace and embroidery.

HAIL THE NEW
 BLOUSES
More Attractive Than Ever, They Hold Many Novel
 Ideas

The shops are full of new blouses,
 and the woman who needs more clothes
 to see her safely out of the summer
 months of heat can do no better than to invest wisely in some of these charming new blouses. They are really very attractive and their prices vary
 so that every pocketbook can be satis- fled. Although some of the imported French lingeries blouses cost $20 or $30 1t Is quite possible to get lovely blouseH for s4 or $5 and very wear
 able ones of rheaper fabric sell for s2 or s3. So find out how much money you can afford for blouses. and set forth content that you will be satis- field.
 One noticeable feature of many of the new blouses is the tucked front. This usually appears on the more conventional shirtwaist type of blouse for sports or street wear. The tucked front Is of the same material, In this case as the blouse. For in-
 stance, new sport shirtwaist of white linen shows a tucked front,
 edged with narrow pleated frill of linen. The same sort of frill edges collars and cuffs.
 | Sometimes this tucked front is used l on blouses not of the strictly tailored sort. Then 1t is usually of a contrast 1 ing material For instance, one blouse of sheer white vOile has Q | tucked front of red embroidered voile, I and a collar of the same material Narrow frilling Is used on many of ! the tailored blouses of linen. It makes | a decidedly trim little finish for these
 simple blouses that are worn for sports with white or colored skirts and | in cooler weather with sweaters | Although the colored sweaters. of | all the hues of the rainbow, have I CT desirable. still there are some sports | blouses of color Some of these are of striped wash silk, in white striped with color-yellow, rose, green, red or I tan. These are made on the conven- tional shirtwaist order.

 In the new garments which will be shown in mid-August, in Paris, this new movement of the skirt will be ac~ centuated. As fragile velvet and fur will be the combination of the autumn, these swinging panels from the waist will be made of both fabrics.
 THE SLEEVELESS BODICES
 It may have been known by the de- signers in this country that the Amer ican army in France would be sup piled with medieval. sleeveless jerkins, fined with wood, for the trench fight ing.
 Whether or not the designers were aware of this fact. it is curiously in- teresting that they have introduced that garment in women's costumery. |. is minus the wool. but it is cut in the same manner and worn outside of the hours devoted to sport.
 It began it's career in leather and it ended in Lyons velvet and Russian kolinsky. It has made wide appeal to women and designers. because it was introduced at the right moment It Is what our Sammies will wear in France.
 It is in keeping with the emphat tic trend to hide the waistline when it is sharply marked by the joining of the shirtwaist and the separate skirt. It caters to women's delight in the juXta- position of bright colors during the summer season.

to bore in, landing solid blows to the
body but at the bell showed the effects
of the punishment received.
Weinert fought pluckiIy in the sec

obedience to them.
In point on the question of the in
adequacy or the schooling facilities Of
the state, and failure to obey the COM

eral cited today to your representative
the condition prevailing in one county
Of the state where, year ago. Of the
102 schools in the county, only e6 held
seven month terms, as required by

cent did not hold certificates OF any
kind. During the year, this condition
was improved to the point where IL
per cent of the teachers were without
certificates.
Attorney General Hanger had his
first experience in the enforcement Of
the school attendance laws In Morton

and he now proposes to place that
campaign on a statewide basis.
