1t is so difficult to refrain from
adding bow or frill or some other
useless dO-dad to a gown, that most
women are badly dressed. That is
the way the "stouts," as the CONNER
cial folk cruelty call them, are always
in despair. They are forever wanting
to frIlly and fluffy and petite, and it
simply cannot be. 1t is only the wom-
an who has no hips that may assume
the appearance of hips. Truly, life is
puzzling, my children.
The faShinos for the new season are
for the leans. There is no disputins
that Midnight blue serge suits are
coming in strong. and they are good
old friends, always and forever.
The arrival of cape effects in coats
means the return of the Medici collar
and all kinds of ripple lines for
sleeves and neck. Some of the new
neck WITNESSES are in chair colored
Orchidee is another favorite shade.
For guimpes, Georgette and crepe de
chine are the best. The Organdie col
lars are good with the picot edge.
For the girl with the slender figure,
which looks well in hearly anything
but an umbrella case the pointed
jacket is wonderfully becoming. These
jackets do very well also for the ample
form, except that the chopped off
sides and back tend to increase the
appearance of spread" With these
Jackets go the ever ascending collar,
which is no longer collar, but a roof.
Oh, miracles of fashion fluff, you
sometimes do appall us!

| One of the Topeka men who receiv-
| ed a very good commission from the
| officers school this summer, is so
much improved by his physical train
ing that he hardly looks like the same
man. At first he gained quite heavily
! in weight. Then he lost his extra
| pounds, and two or three that he had
| to start with. His waist tapered down,
| his shoulders broadened, his muscles
hardened, and his face took on the
firm look and the healthy bronze that
| are the gifts of the outdoor life and
| hard labor.
Besides, he never looked so we'll in
his finest toys land they were always
| right up to the mark in costliness and
fashion,, as he looks in his officers
uniform. 1t was made by a first rate
tailor, and they do say as how it cost
SOS. tho it looks like a thousand dol
lar.
The man is indeed in luck, for they
say that he is almost sure to get the
girl he wants in addition to all the
rest of his good fortune.
