two sport skirts may be matched and
the wardrobe augmented by two sep
arate sport costumes. There are COL
ors, also, that harmonic with other
shades; for example, a green silk
sweater will look well with a tan
tussah skirt and hat combining tan
and green; or with a sport costume in
pale yellow and black Some Of the
most expensive silk sweaters are in
changeable effect with one shade SUI
perimposed on another SO that you
see mails, looking at the sweater from
one view and pale blue or rose from
another view. Usually the band TRIM
mings are in solid color, matching one
or the other of these shades. Striped
sweaters are still fashionable, but this
years models show a decided prefer
ence for broken plaids, or for plain
colors with trimming bands in plaid
effects. Very smart imported sweaters
are in plain colored silk with a woven
stripe, check or plaid made in drop
stitch effect The trimming bands
are in close ribbed stitch.
The later models fit most beauti-
fully and there is none of the saggins
and stretching which used to make
q silk sweater too wide across the
back and TOO long IN the sleeve after
few weeks Of wear. There is also
sport silk in jersey weave which has
this excellent quality of not stretching.
It is called La Jerz and comes in all
the wonderful sweater colors that are
on the market now. Coat and skirts

sweater must have tailored look and
be finished inside as perfectly as with

enough at, home tailoring to fashion
good looking silk sweaters for them
selves and quite few pennies can be
saved in this way. OF course, such a

and Venice insertion, one used over
the other, and both used over black
tulle, make the Cheruit gown exquis-
itely airy and exceedingly rich. Black
velvet ribbons cleverly introduced,
make the lace all the more beautiful
by contrast. The sleeves of this din
ner gown are especially worthy of
study for they are the very last word
in sleeves for this type of costume-

though it is rather too opulent in col
or and too dashing in style for deb
utante-has well managed sleeves.
They are made of gold lace thrown
over the, arm, but while the points
fall short of the waistline in front the
drapery trails down at the. back and
is heavily weighted by golden tassel
so that 1t is more like a cape than
ordinary floating sleeves.
Floating enough in all conscience
though are the beruff1ed sleeves of
the restaurant dinner gown-and
these are the very latest sleeves of
Paris. Have I mentioned to you that
all feminine Paris is taking to elbow
sleeves? They are seen on all cos
tunes except tailored trotteur frocks
and silk blouses for morning wear.
The blouse is probably the last thing
that will be permitted short sleeves
so let no woman dream Of elbow
sleeved shirtwaists this summer! The
ruff1ed sleeved frock is made of sand
colored silk net over white soiree silk
and with 1t the black lace is very
smart. Another youthful dinner
dance frock is pictured in the quaint
model of wedgwood blue faille mat
inee which combines an 1880 decol-
letage with rose and MODESTO with
1917 sport pockets and one must adj
nit the combination is fascinating.

An equally handsome dinner gown
from Cheruit is of pale blue, gros de

skirt, and the skirt slashed to the hip
at the right side to show panel of

the inevitable scarf Of tulle-in palest

This year the agitation over war mat

Simple Linens for
the Dining Room

UNLESS one can afford very hand
some flet and cluny laces, it is
W better to omit lace altogether in
the dining room and have sideboard
and side table covers of plain white
linen, ornamented solely with hem
stitching. Cheap and snowy lace edg-
ing on such scarves and covers is in
the worst possible taste and too often
shames really good mahogany by its
presence in a dining room which
should not tolerate such lace trim
ming. a Filet lace is very fashionable
for dining room use just now, as 1t is
for bedspreads, curtains, and even for
collars, and blouses; but tiny in
sertion Of handsome fl1et will be in
far better taste than q broad strip Of
sleazy imitation. A very good looking
scarf Tor the sideboard may be made
at home for much less than one would
have to pay for the same sort of scarf
all made up in the shops. Always
buy good linen for dining room use, it
not only looks better at the begin
ming but will continue to look well
through long period Of use. Only
the housewife who must economic
risidly will permit part linen" covers
or tablecloths in her dining room.
Make the sideboard scarf therefore of
fine, rather heavy white linen, and do
not have 1t too wide; allow two inches
OF the polished top Of the sideboard
to show at either edge OF the scarf.
The ends Of the scarf may hang over
or be cut of to show two inches of
polished wood, like the front and back
edges. Trim the, scarf with an inch
wide insertion Of good flet and at the
center front place three square me-
dallions OF filet, two medallions, side

shake one iota on it's pedestal of fem

Sweaters have developed nightly

themselves against the summer land

the browns and tans crept in, but still
sweaters were thick and ungraceful
garments, warm and comfy enough to
be sure, but scarcely graceful or be-
coming. The soft, supple angora
sweaters ushered in a new era in
sweater-wear and then followed the
hand-knit sweater of Germantown
wool, which gave quite enough
warmth for summer wear and chung
to the figure lines in most graceful
fashion. And finally arrived the
sweater of silk jersey-and nothing
better has been discovered! SILK
sweaters are as charming as ANYTHING

have busted themselves with changing
the shape and minor details of these
admirable silken coats and have

WAR ECONOMY
IS OUTLINED
Suggestions Given by Miss
Josephine Berry Of Min
nesota University.

"A st. Paul, July 6.-Suggestions for
war economy in foods are contained
in an appeal issued yesterday by Miss
Josephine T. Berry, head Of the home
economics division Of the University
of Minnesota.
Miss Berry Is one Of five members
Of the advisory food conservation
committee appointed by Herbert g.
Hoover, national food administrator.
rs She returned recently from WASH

conference of food experts. Her ap-
peal for war economy is the first of q
series Of instruction papers under
preparation. with recipes for war
dishes. 3yS5 III III ss g4agg isst,.S
Here are some Of her suggestions:
.sUse oats, cornmeal, barley, -four
or cottonseed meal with the wheat
flour in making bread.
"Go strong on summer gardening,
and replace half the bread now con-
surned. by garden products.
Revive old-fashioned buckwheat
and cornmeal griddle cakes to save
wheat bread. 33si.} (:
sSlice the bread at the table as you
need 1t, and use the left overs as
crumbs in making up your next batch
OF dough. :, s. 81
Miss Berry appealed for co-opera-
tion OF housewives with retailers In
enforcing the plan, suggested by Mr..
Hoover by which bakers Will refuse
to accept stale bread from retailers.
The retailers cannot afford this un-
less their customers understand and
co-operate" Hiss Berry said.

AS there will be exemptions among
