The Party Frock

and as often as does the older contin-
gent and dancing can be relied upon to
create demand for fresh toilets as
promptly if not more promptly than
any other exercise known. There are
very charming ones shown in the illus
tration, some for the older girls and
some for the younger girls, and they
give suggestions for materials and for
treatments that will be helIful.
Before long we shall be thinking Of
commencement frocks and these same
dresses will be good for that use. The
pointed tunic that is shown on one
dress is made of taffets and the over
bodice is made OF the same material,
while the under.bodice and under
skirt are OF a pretty net. and you could
hardly find more charming costume
for the girl of sixteen or eighteen. You
could copy it in any color that you
may like but in the illustration the
material is rose color with white and
with little silk roses used as garnitures
Flowers of the kind are greatly used.
they are very pretty and they give
color note that often makes the dis
tinction OF the costume. They are
found i'll silk and in ribbon and in
chiffon. You can use lace founcins
for this dress just as it is on the figure
but the net is very dainty and the
edge of ribbon weights it lust sufi-
GENTLY while it makes a durable finish.
Taffeta and simple lace makes as
pretty dress as any that could be
offered. but you could, OF course, vary
the silk, or you could use a creme if
you like lighter effect. Crepe meteor
is good for it gives satin finish and
is not very lustrous. 1t is essentially
youthful and little more brilliant
than the duller crepe.
The two little girls dresses are sus-
sested for quite different needs. The
very dainty little frock shown at the
right is adapted to crepe dc chine and
to Georgette crepe and to chiffon
and also to soft finished taffeta and
it is pretty for dancing school and for
parties. The more severe dress is de-
signed for afternoon -..er

The Empire City Sees Costumes
of Various Sorts.

With large parties going South to
enjoy the balmy suns of Florida and
equally large ones going North to
seek the snappy cold of the Adiron-
dacks, extremes meet here in old
Gotham. We have seen silk sports
costumes until we are bit weary
and the wool which is, perhaps, de-
y signed for the North and the early
days of the Spring in intermediate
climates makes a greater appeal
from the standpoint Of elegance.
Very beautiful coats of the loose
sports order are made of soft woody

are Considered Here

This is a season at which new
designs are sure to appear.
Women who appreciate such
matters are on the keen outlook to
learn just what will and what will
not be fashionable for the coming
season. TUNES are to be extensively
worn both for afternoon and for even
ing costumes and usually they are
worn over simple circular or scmi-cir-
cular skirts of moderate fulness, the
idea being to make contrast between
the width Of the skirt and the width
Of the tunic
Crepe de chine is pronounced
favorite for afternoon gowns and it is
combined with satin and with silk and
with various materials of such sort.
For evening occasions, lace is liked
and net and all the diaphanous ma
terials over the richest silks and satins
and sometimes over brocaded silks.
The evening gown that is shown in the
illustration is made of lace over
heavy satin, but the same model would
be good for silk net over brocaded
silk or over a silver lace or over any
material of such sort. The metal bro
cades and the metal laces are greatly
in vogue and are very beautiful. The
bodice of this gown is especially note
worthy.

Strength Of q Flower,

One Of the most remarkable exhibit
lions OF plant force l ever saw, says
John Burroughs in 1.-THE Breath Of
Life" was In a western city. where. I
observed a wild sunf1ower forcing its
way up through the asphalt pavement.
The folded and compressed leaves Of
the plant, like a mans fist, had pushed
against the hard but flexible concrete
until 1t bulged up and split and let the
irrepressible plant through. The force
exerted must have been many pounds.
l think it doubtful If the strongest man
could have pushed his fist through such
a resisting medium.
Life activities are a kind of explo-
sion, and the slow continued explo-
sions Of this growing plant rent the
pavement as surely as powder would
have done. 1t is doubtful II any cult
waited plant could have overcome such
odds. 1t required the force Of the un-
tanned hairy plant Of the plains to ac-
cOmplish the feat.

The record for fasting, so far as our
best information goes, Is held by
CRANE, a French murderer, who de-
termined to starye himself to death
and from day to day after his arrest
refused to eat.
In spite of every effort on the part
of his keepers, who first tried to tempt
him to eat by placing the most dainty
meals In his cell and when that failed
attempted feeding him by force, he
held out for sixty-three days, at the
end OF which period he died.

Dandruff Soon
Ruins the Hair


Girls-if you want plenty Of thick,
beautiful, glossy. silky hair, do by all
means get rid Of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid Of dandruff is to dissolve
it, then you destroy 1t entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
firing: use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the. finger
tips.
BY morning most, ii not all, of your
dandrufe will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace Of it.
You will find, too. that all itching and
digging Of the scalp will stop, and your
hair will look and feel a hundred times
better. It is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need, no matter
how much dandruff you have. This
simple remedy never fails.
