TRIM STOCK SMART
Chic When Rising From Severe
Line of Tailored Coat.
Hl1h-colIared chemisettes, Resembling
Little Waisteoats, Seen in
Many Variations.

A tailored gown or suit is often made
or marred by the neck accessory worn
with 1t. 1t is almost If not quite as i'm
portant to this type of costume that its
wearer should choose correct and be-
coming neckwear as that she should
be topped by hat whose unimpeach-
able smartness is only equalled by its
suitability.
The chic of trim, dainty stock ris-
Ing from the severe line of the tailored
coat collar is unquestionable, and It Is
amazing how many women have be-
come at least ten years younger since
adopting this fashion.
There are, however, unfortunately
many women who are incapable of Civ
Ing the careful attention to the details
of the toilet which is required by the
high-collared neck accessory, for
stock collar of any sort must fit the
neck perfectly and be adjusted with
the utmost care at the opening either
front or back. This applies equally to
the high-collared blouse, the lace stock
with the jabot attached and the high
collared chemsette.
The high-collared chemisettes which
often have the semblance of charm
Ing little waiStcoat are shown in a
variety of materials and many ngeni-
Gus variations of shape and detail
There are very few in color, but
white Is apparently much more mod
ish, at least for the present. Ivory
satin stocks and chemisettes, while not
In the very front rank of novelties, are
still new enough and pretty enough to
be worth any womans consideration.
There are some extremely smart
white satin stocks either of the plain
wrinkled variety or with flaring top.
From these depend rather voluminous
jabots of chiffon, net or lace. The net
or chiffon is edged by two or three rows
Of fine silk braid.
Again, clever little Bingham waist
coat chemisettes are appearing, and
very enticing they are with their fresh
colors and trim tailored finish. In

Whoever designed the guinea hen
and composed the music for her vocal
organs must have used a rasp for q
tuning fork. Guinea hens and their
husbands are alike in appearance;
when you've seen one you've seen the
other. Their plumage is of one and
the same piece of goods, like the Quak-
ers'. If ever you have INDUCED in FL
Ing the teeth of cross-cut saw, you've
heard the synonym of her melody.
Nature did herself q dreadful injus-
tice when she produced this variety of
fowl and the farmer who gives her
board and lodging Is no good Chris

sells you guinea hen as youthful and
tender has designed to skin you. l

War and the Weather Man."

In this war the weather man." the
meteorologist, has come into his own.
No one laughs at him now. His in
formation is desired by the artillery
officer who has to know the tempera-
ture of the air and its moisture con-
tent, the strength of the wind at diff
ferent levels, and the like in order
that he may aim his gun. When the
temperature Is lowering about the
freezing point, the staff wish to know
IL the improvised roads will be frozen
sufficiently to permit the movement Of
guns or motOrtrucks. The captains Of
the air squadrons must know the con-
ditlon Of the atmosphere up to heights
of 10000 feet. The Importance Of
the information may be judged from
the fact that we were asked repeatedly
IL there was not some way by which
the American weather reports could
be kept from reaching Germany. Our
reply had to be that, with Mexico
where it was, nothing could be DONE

ET0N JACKET TO BE POPULAR
Sleeves on Spring Suits Are Tight and
Cuffs, More Often Than Not, Are
ExaggeratedIy FIaring.

In one Fifth avenue house, where
strong stress is laid upon the creation
of American-made suits and gowns,
there is decided movement toward
the Elton jacket as a standard for
spring suits, says the New York Times.
The argument is that, if wool must be
conserved, then this Is the best manner
in which to do it. An Elton jacket Is
graceful thing and 1t has had great
feminine appeal through all the ages.
In this, its latest adaptation, it has lost
none of its former charms and gained
new ones.
Three or four points are to be dis
tinctly noted about the new spring
things-Eton and otherwise. One Is
that the sleeves are tight and set into
normal armholes. There is little or
no echo of the sleeves that fall into
the waistline. Cuffs are, more often
than not, exaggeratedly flaring and are
cut as parts of the sleeves themselves.
Often they are faced with contrasting

Checks.

The fad for ginghams that was so
decided last summer has had good
deal of influence on winter clothes.
Some decidedly attractive frocks for
little girls-very little girls of five and
six-are made of checked washable
silk in red, rose or blue and white.
Sometimes these. frocks are shocked,
sometimes laid in plaits or tucks in the
bodice to give fullness to the skirt,
which is almost always cut in one with
the top part of the dress. Very often
the frock is worn with white wash

taboo. Either the collar is made Of
the same material as the gown or Of
one shade darker or lighter or of a
colored linen. There is great deal Of
talk among those conservatives who
become welded forever to q certain
style, about white collar softening
the line. There are white collars that
are as hardening as can be and there
are colored collars and plain finishes
quite beautifully softening. 1t is all in

the way that it is handled.
