Plain Frocks Of Silk.

The best-dressed young women at
fashionable summer resorts are wear
ing, mornings, perfectly plain shirt
waist dresses of soft wash silk; waists
gathered into belt and trimmed with
graceful collars and turned-back cuffs {;
skirts deeply hemmed at the foot and
with or without patch pockets. Some
times collar, cuffs and belt are piped
with a contrasting color or the finish
is done with hemstitehing. These soft
silk frocks look very fresh and dainty
and are extremely graceful, blowing
about in summer breezes. Plain white
silks and silks with hairline stripes
in color are used.

The melancholy days have come, but
so have the new fall hats, and they
have brought along with them sure
cure for the blues. 1t is just out OF
the question to try on this ent1clng
new millinery and go on regrettlng
the passing Of summer at the same
fime. fer winter is foreshadOwed and
welcomed by the loveliest OF head
wear. The war has thnown Americans
on their ewn resources in designing, to
greater extent than ever before 1t
Is hard to tell just how much we owe
to our own homegrown" miliiners,
but there cannot be two opinions about
the new hats. They are excellent
from every standpoint.
There are shapes that are large and
there are small hats, and all OF them
are graceful. Lines are wonderful and
trimmings do not interfere with them
or blur them. Brims are Irregular,
crowns are soft, materials are rich
and trimmings simple. Much hand
craft appears in the making OF these
hats aad in the making of their trim
mfngs. The predoH1inating colors are
quiet. but nevertheless brilliance Is
universal in the seasons models.
A group of representative hats IS
pictured above. The shapes have style
and becomingness to recommend them

to be worn during the coming season.

Everything, from richest furs to
kitchen aprons and war overalls, was
given a chance in the recent style
show at the Hotel Morrison, Chicago.
1T was a real exposition of practical
garments of all sorts, designed by
Americans, for Americans, and not
merely competition between manu-
facturers to see which could exhibit
the most unusual, expensive and elab-
crate designs in women's apparel. The
garments were made to sell, not simply
for exhibition, and therefore one could
Judge from them the standards reached
and the progress made in public taste.
1t was a valuable and interesting ex-
hibit.
There was great deal of interest In
the new service suits for women who
have taken up work usually done by
menus work in factories, munitions
plants. gardens and the lighter farm
work. The suits are made with trou-
sers instead of skirts and usually in
one piece with blouse. Several varie-
ties Of overalls were among them and
these warlady clothes proved more
slightly than the usual skirt and blouse
that are so prone to part company.
Nightdresses and negligees were not
neglected for the, eternal feminine may

Nose Breathing Proper Way

Make Your Sport Coats.

The sport coat which has made fof
itself so important place in the
summer wardrobe is this season in all
sorts of materials, and, as a rule, has
dispensed with sleeves. In one case,
it is hardly more than two straight
lengths OF silk, folded under at the
bottom to form deep pocket and

Hoped edges and fine tucks across the
front. There is an embroidered me-
dallion at each side and full sleeves
that are much longer than sleeves have
been for several seasons. There is not
much needlework on this gown, but
what there is, is very well done.
The negligee is a long slip Of plat
ed silk with an overdrep of lace that
hangs from the shoulders, having the
effect of a short, full lace coat. 1t is
open down the front and is to be worn
over lacey petticoat or slipped over
the nightdress for bedroom wear. Satin
slippers edged with silk fringe are a
detail worth remembering for pretty
