Observation-Disclosures
The Twin City star., 1918-05-04

Striped satins and taffetas, COM
bined with plain georgette crepe, for
afternoon gowns, are proving them
selves an unfailing source of inspira
ton to the designers. Just the many
variations that can be made in the
arrangement of stripes gives much
room for the play of fancy and for
good management of lines. Speaking
Of stripes, stout women ought to take
note that they are to be considered
special dispensation of Providence for
their benefit. The mOdiste who knows
how to manage them can do wonders
for her stout patrons. ..-..
The pretty afternoon frock shown
in the picture Is just one more Of the
happy combinations of striped taffeta
and plain geOrgette that is different
from any of the others. The dress is
mostly Of the striped satin and>always
the stripes run in diagonal. The
skirt is disposed Of by making it plain
with stripes running downward from
left to right. 1t has three-inch hem,
Is not quite ankle length, and for an
older woman should be made a little
longer Yaas ,,l. ga -,
The tunic Is of accOrdian plated
geOrgette, with a wide bias border of
the satin. 1t Is uneven in length all
round. The bodice Is very cleverly
The Twin City star., 1918-05-04

with crepe georgette. 1t has an un-
looked-for split in the brim at the left
side, that is odd and pretty. There Is
a band of blue crepe like the facing
about the crown and above this a col
lar Of narrow moire ribbon tied with a
bow at the front. Four jet ornaments
on the side crown proclaim the return
of Jet in millinery.
at the right there is small shep-
herdess shape, with sash in black on
q black hat faced with rose. The sash
wanders over the back brim and Is
fastened under 1t in a bow set against
a bandeau. The quilts are the odd
feature in this hat. They are shaded
in rose-color and black and curve over
the crown and about the right brim,
following the lines of the shape as
closely as possible. They are feath-
ers, of course, but so highly enameled
that they look as II they might be
made of porcelain.
The Twin City star., 1918-05-04

"Safe and sane" Is descriptive of the
shapes of hats and the management of
their trimmings this season. Those
who buy them in quantities and where
styles are originated, tell us that there
were never fewer bizarre or extrava-
CANT ideas in millinery than at pres
ent. The task Of the designer is made
more difficult by this state of things.
She must contrive little unusual and
unexpected touches on these matter-of-
fact shapes, in order to answer the de-
mand for distinctive and original
ideas, which women clamor for in their
millinery.
In the three hats shown in the group
above, the designers have met and
overcome their difficulties. At the top
there is a shape of black lisere braid
In the crown and brim Of black ma
lines that suggests poke bonnet with
its lifted point at the middle of the
front. We might look for quaint flow
er trimming and ribbon streamers on
this shape, but we find the unexpected

six braid buttons and simulated but
tonholes of hraid across the front,
This combination Of picturesque shape
and tailored finish will please the wom-
an who Is looking for hat that can
be worn almost anywhere.

but 1t Is never pleasant to have the
other fellow do all the shooting. As a
correspondent Harner was noncom-
blatant. He was shot at as much as
any Of the soldiers and a great deal
more than some of them, and he SIM
ply had to stand it without the privi-
lege Of returning the compliment.
But he had become used to it all
now, and the battle of the morrow
must be attended to. He knew the To-
cations of the commands; he believed
he had the plans of the fight, and he
wanted to get the field of operations
SO clear in his mind that his account
would be as accurate in its topography
as in it's other important particulars.
He had permission to rove within the
lines and he was ON his way to the
line.
AS he turned into a path which
would save him some of the distance
young soldier overlook him. He was
handsome and young, with the rosy
health of perfect physical manhood.
Harner viewed him closely and into
his mind came pity that such hope
should be used as food for gunpowders
"My name is Monson, Company G.
Eighth volunteers" he said, "and ]
want you to do me a favor"
"yery glad to do anything 1 can,"
replied Harner.
s.YOur paper goes to our town and
anything that is printed about us will
be read there" he went on. "What l
ask may seem little strange, but l
know that you can do 1t without much
trouble to yourself"
Nv ell, what Is it?"
I'm your dispatch about tomorrow's

Harner took a more careful look at
the young man, but there was nothing
In his ,coN,?tenance to indicate that he
was either insane Of insincere. But 1t
stemed to De q Jest and Harner

It was in the midst Of the Civil war.
Harner went out to take a last look
at the field. A battle would certainly
be fought the next day. His own in
ferences had been corrOborated by a
hint from the headquarters to which
he was temporarily attached.
When he first appeared as war
correspondent, full of the romance
that his work promised, he waited for
the fights and then threw into his
descriptions all the resources of his
ready pen and prompt vocabulary, but
1t would not do. He soon found that
by the time his copy was ready the
other fellows held the wires and he
was left to receive pleasant messages
from the home Office about dispatches
being quite good. but somewhat an
cient, with an occasional reminder
that the paper he represented was not
a monthly publication.
So he learned to gather and arrange
the preliminaries and then to dash in
the details where the cannons were
booming and the bullets were scor-
ing their points with human lives
In the great and glorious game Of
war. Even with the swiftness that
experience had brought to him His
lot was far from happy. He did not
mind hard work-that was a part Of
the business-but after he had run
through, one of the hottest and pret-
test skirmishes he had ever seen, had
witnessed wonderful deeds Of valor,
and had taken his own life in his
hands and made bold dash across
country to a telegraph station, only to
receive in acknowledgment Of his SUI
perb description the message. "Adjec-
tives are cheap and telegraph tolls are
not" his feelings were honestly hurt.
True it was that the skirmish was but
an incident in the mighty conflict be-
tween the great sections of great
country and history has not found
space to mention it, but Harner knew
that 1t was more savage and pictur-
esQue than many of the battles to
which pages were given, and he wrote
as he saw.
Then, too, there was the restraint Of
his work. When a soldier is fired at
he has the satisfaction Of firing back,

managed with the left side cut so that
it is extended into girdle of the satin
that is brought around the waist and
fastens under the arm at the left. The
sleeves are made Of geOrgette crepe,
with deep cuffs Of satin, and there is
a small shawl collar of the, crepe. A
lace collar partly overlays it, to pro-
vide BIT of white next the face.
This pretty frock is made with very
little material; stripes make other dec.
orations, like plaits and tucks, unnec-
essary. 1t takes much cleverness to
manage them just right, but the play
is worth the candle, for they make
very graceful gowns. They are all par
ticularly useful for remodeling gowns.

 About the streets of Bridgeport now and in some of the stores. are a large number of barrels and collec- ton boxes in which people are asked to drop their accumulated prune, olive, peach, plum and date pits, or walnut and Brazil nut shells.

WOMEN ADJUSTERs SUCCESSFUL

Among other duties in which women are supplanting men to some extent, because of the demands for man. powerpower made by the war, are those of adjusters in retail dry goods stores. They are said to be very suc- cessful in this work for the most part, being courteous, firm in their decis- ions, and less inclined to be imposed upon than men. While here and there women customers whose claims are not allowed take the matter to the men higher up, for the most part they are said to abide by the decision of the aduiuster. One of the faculties that capable women adjusters have which is not possessed by men is that of really putting themselves in the position of the customer. In this way they are not only able to serve the stores interest best, but give the cus- toner sympathetic interest and the best "deaP' possible.
