VARIETY OF WRAPS
Short Garments Are Made Like
Attenuated Dolmans.
Use Chiffon Of New Egyptian Tissue,
Satin Lined or Trimmed With
Fur and Embroidered TuIIe.

Every letter from Paris lays stress
like attenuated dolmans. They are
of chiffon. of the new glistening Egyp-
tIan tissue, Of satin-lined or trimmed
with fur and of embroidered tulle.
They resemble elaborated scarfs.
Some of them tuck in at the waist
line In the back and drop long In the
front; others go over the front of the
figure in surpllce fashion, wrap around
the waist and tie with q huge hustle
bow ut the back.
They are worn In, the afternoon over
thick frocks; they are worn In the
evening over half decollete frocks;
they have taken tine place Of many
short, Separate Jackets for street
wear, and they are seen at all the
performances In the theaters and ut
the opera, as well as in the restau-
rants. They are not removed. They
are intended as half-concealing,
half-revealing and altogether subtle
and attractive garment.
A woman will come into restau-
rant with a dull lavender gown of
satin, beaded and cut out half low at
the neck, with the arms bare from six
inches below the shoulders, and the
whole top Of the figure and gown will
be covered by short, draTed, shirred
wrap with sleeves of cornflower blue
tulle, the ends of which may be
weighted with Chinese tassels In black,
gold and yellow.
There are dolmans of black satin
lined with fur, and others that have
bands of kolinsky or ermine which
form collar and outline the long,
pear-shaped armholes that often serve
without sleeves. And again and
again, the fur or the Egyptian beaded
embroidery or metallic tissue is used
to hold in these short wraps at the
waistline and to form a bow or ends
ut the side or the back.

Embroidered Chair Cover.

brown corded silk, and bound at the
edges with narrow ribbon of the same
color. 1t is lined with sateen, and
tapes are sewn on at the corners where
indicated.
The space enclosed in the dotted line
should correspond In size with the sur
face Of the seat Of the chair, and the
flaps should be large enough to entire
ly cover the sides. 1t Is a good plan
prior to cutting out the material to cut
out rough paper pattern from news
paper and fit It over the chair.
The design which appears upon the
cover consists of blossoms worked in
various shades Of pale pink, separated
with leaves worked in various shades
Of green.

SCOUT S
Conducted by National Council OF the Boy
Scouts of America)
WORK OF A scoUTMAsTER

A big work, this being a master
scout. What manner of man Is needed
10 do 1t?
First Of all, the scoutmaster must
be a real man himself, the kind of u
man boys will naturally follow, admire,
respect, emulate and obey. No amount
of book knowledge, no degrees In peda-
gogy will avail If he doesn't impress
the boys as the real stuff"
He must possess that indefinable
quality we call personality or person
al magnetism" He must be man of
proved worth of character. He must
stand four-square to the scout prlnci-
pies in practice as well as precept.
To be successful boy leader. a man
must know human nature in general
and boy nature In, particular. He must
be able to remember back to his own
boyhood clearly enough to be able to
get the boys viewpoint. He must be
enough of boy himself, whatever his
years, to put himself into relation
Of sympathetic comradeship with boys,
and at the same time be enough of
man and master to keep sufficiently
aloof, so that his boys will recognize
his authority and accept 1t as final.
He must possess tact, initiative, pow
er of quick decision and action, for al
most any emergency calling for the
practice of these qualities may arise
at any time in his work with boys.
The scoutmaster is also expected to
get in touch with such experts as his
community offers, and enlist their serv-
ices in scout training.
Boys have an immense respect for
anybody who can do things" The
wise scoutmaster frankly owns himself
an amateur, and learner If neces-
sary, at the same time keeping himself
In so far rs possible ahead of his boys.
Three hours week Is probably the
minimum time required. Nevertheless
1t Is true that some of the best scout
masters are otherwise the busiest men.
Just because they are busy men, they
are apt to be efficient men. men OF
power and personality, accustomed to
putting their margins of leisure to
profitable use. Certainly no better use
could be found for the spare hours OF
a good citizen and patriot than to help
In the process Of making men, men who
are to be the hope and salvation of our
war rent civilization.

CAPES NEWEST FASHION NOTE

The ultra smart clothes that are
worn at the Fairgrounds Of the South

quently, observes a Palm Beach fash
ion correspondent. The most recent Of
travelling capes has two or three dis
tinctive features which are worthy Of
detailed notice.
The new capes are made for actual
and unremittlng service, and, there
fore, have points of interest all their
own. They are, as rule, cut circu-.

exactly to meet the closely fitting col

Is cut so that 1t rolls and folds about

over the shoulders when the cape Is
unfastened.
Others of these travelling capes,

lines, have gathered af>the neck, so
that they float away in more graduated

of the most interesting variety of vel
ours cloth, woven in plum-colored
plaid, with citron-colored stripes max
ing the blocks. The cape had places
cut in the sides for the hands to come
through, provided with extra straight
pieces set on to simulate cuffs. Then,
just underneath, on the cape, other
straight pieces were set on to form
pockets. This slight divergence was
the only departure from undiluted
straight lines. With this cape It's

with a soft flange over the opposite

New Ideas In Hsts.

Hats change little every. week.
Crowns are lower and the wingline of
the brlm is more general than II was.
The tall, heavy sort of hat with a high
draped crown is less popular. The
newest hatpins are Of crystal, not
pearl, and aigrettes are not the best
wear as trimming, although one sees
them to certain extent. Tulle is used
a good deal in millinery. but practical
women choose rather plain satin as be-
