POPULAR cAPES AND SAILORS
Garment and Headoear Combination
That 10 Having Favored Call In
All Sections

This season New York has two fash
ions which loudly proclaim them
selves: the cape In ! hundred di1ferent
shapes but always 1lowtog and becom-
ing, and the sailor hat, which may BE-
stin and straight a Of old. Or some
what modified by Just the right
breadth Of brim and the softness Of ito
scarf instead Of the old-fashioned
sitter ribbon band.
Everywhere we turn, says q writer
In Good Housekeeping, granddaughter
and grandmother alike have Z cape
and q sailor hat. And why mott It
takes the place Of q suit. and Ii worn
e a last-year's frock. or over a win
ter dress remodeled to meet the needs
Of the summer. For the hot months
It can be alike ove the silk frock
or v the cotton frock. It may be
worm In town or In the country, afoot
or In the motor. and 1t doubtless saves
more wool than a jacket and skirt. It
is most often Of blue or beige serge
and lined with satin. Sometimes It is
reversible-Or again, It may be Of
satin with the bottom edged with
fringe.
In times when we are all thinking
economy, the sailor hat appears as a
matter of course It Is inexpensive, al
most universally becoming, and is to
be had now In as many shades as the
rainbow boasts. There are dark mod
els for town wear, and pink, blue and
mauve types for country wear. Scroll
or chenille-dotted wells are worn with
them In town, and for the country
they r pretty with a white-figured
veil and the sleeveless sweater or
Jacket,

CAMERA IS REAL
EYE OF ARMY

over the narrow section Of ground
whose secret must be won, the pilot
steers, for the most part an even
course. Shells burst closely round
them. on this side and that. beneath
and above. At moments the pilot Is
forced to swerve. but he must quickly
get level and resume his ordered
course.
Meanwhile the observer studies in
tently the pitted earth below. which
would appear to the uninitiated as In
definite as a huge plowed field. But
his practiced eye picks out its essen
tial features. and. regardless Of the
shells, he presses his lever at carefully
timed intervals. At last the deed Is
done-just as q shell bursts close under
their tail and losses them upward as
a wave might lift a cork. Fortunately
the damage Is slight.
"Finished?" asks the pilot through
his telephone.
FINISHED" says the observer.
And they swing for home with an
Inevitable sense Of relief.
It Is all in the days work-a very
ordinary job. But even the airman's
most ordinary job is out Of the com
mon as a risky experience. As for the
knowledge obtained. 1t may prove Of
vital Importance. The camera is more
than an eye 1t Is a weapon. And the
hand that controls 1t must be as pur-
poseful and steady as If 1t held a rifle.

quired possession, as the sketch shown
herewith will indicate.
This skirt is abundantly supplied
with loose or flying panels, FIVE Of
them being used The underneath
skirt must be narrow, n and q half
yards being q good width for such a
skirt, and the panels may, If desired,
be finished all around with a binding
Of black or navy silk braid, or they
may be stitched or an invisible hem
used.
If desired a blouse matching either
Of the fabrics used In the skirt may be
made to accompany this skirt, and
a smart little street frock be the re-
suit.
Never have any seasons style de-
signs been so wholly friendly to
the subject OF alterations, and the very
fact that a fabric shortage exists also
contributes to this end. The tendency
is to use as little wool material as
possible, making up any shortage along
that line by piercing out with taffeta,
satin, silk poplin, etc.
Wool fabrics may be even scarcer
than at this time. The wise woman
will from now on put a good deal Of
time into solving the mysteries Of de-
signing and making her own clothes.
It Is an excellent wartime measure,
for women must continue to be well
dressed.
