The Food Conservation Uniform

Have you signed the Food Con-
servation Pledge? If not, do learn
about it at once, for it is one of the
ways the patriotic woman can really
help her country. There is fascin-
ating dress apron wi.ieh you can wear
after you have signed it. The illus
tration here shows you just how very
practical (and becoming) it really is.
This is the official uniform, and is
being worn all over the country. The
dress itself is made of blue chambray
or plain blue Bingham, with collar,
cuffs, and cap of white pique. It is
extremely simple of construction, and
is also very easy to get into. There
is only one button necessary. The
dress closes on either side, the right
over the left or the left over the
right. The strap or belt is passed
through bound buttonhole, around
the figure, and is fastened on the op-
posite side. The big pockets are
conveniently placed, and altogether
it is a costume designed for the eff
cient woman.

The Vogue of Bingham Continued in
Fall Fabrics

There never has been a material so
popular as gingham! The history of
the Bingham craze, as it has been
called, is very interesting. It was
launched by American designers
without the assent of Paris. Palm
Beach first put its seal on it, and
since then, women have eagerly de-
manded it. Paris took it up, and the
bingham dress of 1917 was the
smartest affair imaginable Women
who had long relegated it to the
nursery and the house dress, wore it
at the beach, the country club, and
on the street in the big cities. Now
that cool days are coming, the de-
signers are reluctantly laying it to
one side, to be taken out next spring
however. There are quaint silks and
chiffon taffetas to take its place
with the Bingham pattern carefully
carried out. l saw most attractive
| dress on the avenue the other day
of blue and white check taffeta, with
large hip pockets and a surplice
waist.
