and the sleeves are especially smart,
with deep shaped cuffs. The tunic is
bordered with a braided band-the
braid in the color of the dress and the
neck finished with small, covered but
tons set In a row at each side. 1t will
be noticed that tailored hat is worn
with this daytime frock.
Silk jersey, for which satin or foul
ard might be substituted, is shown in
the skirt and coatee design at the right
of the picture. The sailor collar and
tunic are finished with embroidered
bands, and they define the sides of the
bodice also. The much-admired COW
cred buttons in precise rows add their
neat charm to this exquisite dress.
All these frocks have wide, crushed
girdles, adjusted easily to the figure
below the waistline, and are worn with
pumps and silk stockings-footwear
that Is In keeping with them.

The high boots for street wear have
sensible Cuban heels and moderately
heavy soles. Perforations along all
the seams and at each side of the fac
ing at the front, give them q hand
some finish and they look altogether
dependable and smart-just as women
themselves aspire to look In these
times. White canvas oxfords for wear
with summer street suits and frocks
are very plain and may be had with
either Cuban or French heels. They
are easily kept clean and are very
durable. Where street shoes will
strike the wrong note and something
more dressy is needed, kid pumps,
similar to those shown in the picture,
will ill all requirements. They are of

The smart woman Of today improves
each shining hour Of summer by TAX
ing her knitting everywhere she goes,
and by wearing frocks much like those
that help to make the three graces pic
tured above, look so lovable. These
frocks are Of sort to make even the
jaded millionairess grow interested,
and everyone else, who knows any
thing about clothes, to grow enthusi-
astic. They have everything that we
aspire to in our apparel-simpllcity
style, refinement, originality-all with
in the boundaries set by the seasons
modes, and they are not out Of the
reach of women Of ordinary means.
1t is hard to point out just what
gives distinction to a frock as simple
in design as that worn by the girl sit
ting at the left. 1t lies in the choice
of material, in good hues and In the
wide band of embroidery about the
skirt with its motif repeated to finish
the neck. Khaki-kool, or similar fab
RIGS, would be a good choice for 1t,
or some Of the heavy weaves In silk or
satin that are supple like those made
for the handsomest sports skirts. The
embroidery is done in the color Of the
dress with touches of black or dark
color introduced. Oyster-shell white,
gray or sand color are good choices for
this dress.
The one-piece tunic dress at the
center appears to be Of satin with
over-bodice and apron drape, at the
front, of georgette crepe. The two
long tassels at each side of the apron

Just how few pairs Of shoes can we
get along with this summer? That's
the question that women are called
upon to settle for themselves, now
that wartime economy calls for re-
trenchment on all sides. Secretary
McAdoo says he has his shoes half
soled when they need it-and appears
to be proud Of II, recommending this
course to every one else. Leaving out
house slippers and evening slippers
that need not come In the reckoning at
all, three pairs Of good shoes will see
one through. This will seem an i'm
possibly slim allowance to the woman
who usually buys from six to Twelve
pairs, but three pairs will answer.
There Is no economy in having only
ono pair Of street shoes, because they
wear much longer and look much bet
ter when two pairs are worn alter
nately. Shoe trees keep them in good
shape when they are not in use and
are as necessary to shoes as hangers
are to coats and frocks.
A wartime summer outfit In shoes
might follow the suggestion In the
group Of three pairs shown in the pic
ture. These do not include shoes
made solely for sportswear, which can
be considered beside the question Of
shoes that are Indispensable All the
shoes pictured are In the best mate
rails and workmanship, which are
matters Of real economy in footwear.
They include a pair of substantial
black kid street shoes, a pair Of smart
white canvas oxfords and kid pumps
for dress.

Lester Jobson is one Of the
FIRST Tacoma boys to be honored
in the great war. His decoration
did not come in the form of a
medal or a badge of honor, but
in a hearty and congratulatory
handshake with General Pershing.
Young Jobson enlisted from
Tacoma with the aviation corps
over a year ago and has been in
France for severl months. He,
together with one other Ameri-
can from his company, is working
on the French railroads as engi-
neer. These two boys are the
only Americans who are doing
this sort OF work. He tells of his
meeting with General Pershing in
a letter received here by Miss
