SHIELD FOR CHIFFON SLEEVES
Protection Need Not BE pisHsurino or
Conspicuous " Made From
Fine Material.

Have you ever had any difficulty
with your sheer chiffon and georgette
sleeves drawing and wearing Into
holes across the upper forearms? Or
perhaps you have been afraid to risk
the danger OF their doing this very
thing, and for that reason have de-
MED yourself the pleasure and salts
faction Of putting transparent sleeves
In your silk and serge frocks. In
either event, you will be glad to know
OF simple little device which Is n
sure proof against this particular form
Of annoyance and waste.
The beauty Of transparent sleeve
Is the lovely soft line II gives the
shoulder Of blouse, and SO Its whole
object would be entirely refuted were
any bulky sort Of lining made for 1t.
But, as In most cases, II absolutely
refuses to stand the strain Of wear UNI
aided; something must be done to re-
enforce II. This can be done very
easily, and almost invisibly, by cut
ting n shield.like shape from some soft
and pliable material such as indie.
structible chiffon or china silk, and
fastening II into the armhole under
the sleeve and across the upper part
Of the arm. Then the transparent ma
terlal of the sleeve is tackled lightly to
the lower edges Of this piece, thus re-
moving all strain from the shoulder to
the middle Of the forearm. As this
Is the very area In which the greatest
strain is applied. the use Of this little
device will ensure just about twice
as long n period of wear for the sleeves
thus safeguarded. And the shield pro-
lection need not be ut all disfgurlnE
or conspicuous II It is made from fine
enough material Of just the right
shade, and set In carefully without
drawing or pulling.

Black frocks embroidered in gray
yarns and black embroidered In sill
yer are among the foremost successes
in the seasons showings Of new ideas.
It Is sedate combination even when
the embroidery is elaborate and in
bold pattern, and 1t proves to be as
effective when very dark blue-called
night blue--is used instead OF black.
The lovely gown shown in the picture
above employs this deep blue in dress
that Is rich enough for the opera and
quiet enough for anything else. Co.'S
tuners are giving much attention to
gowns of this type, for their task is to
achieve designs that couple distinc-
ton with quiet colors.
In the gown pictured there is an
underbodlce and skirt of night blue
satin with bodice Of georgette
draped to simulate a belted coat and
waistcoat, over 1t. There is q soft
girdle Of the georgette and, at the
left side. an unexpected and pretty
touch In two long ends each of narrow

Only a few of the coats and wraps
for fall and winter lay claim to novel
designing. For one thing, designers
restrict the amount of materials to be
used to definite lengths that do not
allow anything for merely decorative
additions to these wraps. and for an
other-simplicity is the fashion; the
public generally likes It.
One exception to the rule that al
lows a scant measure of goods for a
coat appears In the handsome model
shown at the right In the illustration
above. This is heavy, castor-colored
garment, of pom pom cloth, with a
shawl collar and deep cuffs of otter.
It is made with the approved double
breast, fastening to the left, near the
waistline, with handsome buttons.
These are square and match the coat
In color, with rims In the dark shade
of the fur. Four Of them are set on
each sleeve and one on each pocket.
The coat Is straight, but Is drawn to
the figure at the waistllne by soft
girdle Of the cloth. The designer
might have considered the coat COM
plete If nothing more had been added
to It; but there was the temptation to
add the charm Of the straight panel
and the smart suggestion Of military
cape all at one and the same time
and 1t Vas done. Therefore there Is
a long. narrow cape, banded with fur
and finished with buttons. which puts

easily worked. The effect Is good
and the work goes quickly, but the
wide bands on the handsome gown
pictured are not embroidered in this
way. Many Of the stitches are short
and set close together. This pattern
Is striking and exactly suited to the
yarn used for working It out. The
dress is simple In design, and needs

City of 1000, Among Others
Wiped Out Of Existence.

~ =
Newport lies upon the User, the tidal
stream that stopped the German rush
for Calais, writes William Townsend
Porter. in the Atlantic Monthly. That
June before the world went mad, the
peaceful town drowsed in the sun-the
pearly Belgian sun, that painters love.
The men went down to the sea in their
fishing boats, or worked their fields !;
old women, their lace upon their knees;
sat in a patch of shade before the door
and piled their bobbins children, with
sshrill sweet voices, darted about like
birds; the creaking vain went to and
fro piled high with the harvest. ~
-Four thousand simple folk! Not one
remains. Their houses, too, are gone.
Their ancient church, their. historic
tower, are mounds Of ruin. And still
the Kissing shells, hour by hour, day By
day, tear down the crumbling walls,
adding fresh ruin to scene most desc
late. US 3: :: - s,-z

Equalizes Men, Creates Spirit Of Broth

Music gives utterance, to something
within one which can never find ex-

ion of A. e. Westbrook, director of
music in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college. Choral singing is of,
great benefit to community.
Music is of great advantage to
men," said Professor Westbrook. fIt
equalizes them, creating spirit Of
brotherhood, and takes their minds off
business. It gives. them. new and
lifferent insight, which is accomplished
lot by singing the common popular
songs, but by really good music that

'The value of music in bringing to-
ether socially disorganized commune
les has never been fully realized. By
.horal singing, people in any one To-
:ality can be brought into certain SYM
pathy with one another. Wherever
here is a neighborhood there is a
chance for singing A leader is need

Where neighboring groups have been
singing the same kind of good music
they will find in any large community
gathering that they have something in
common and will be ready to take part
in choral singing on an even larger
scale. NJ.
eff an orchestra playing Beethoven
played in a community unused to such
music, there would break forth from
the audience an unrestrained applause
such as comes only from people who
are really hungry for good music the
kind of music that community musical
societies will bring to them.'' -.
