Some Patriot

CINCINNATI, Jan. 3.-This years
fight for the honor OF entertaining
the American Bowling Congress and

Tournament in 1919 promises TO be
the hottest battle in the history OF

other candidates in the field during
the next few days, eXhorting dele
gates to the Cincinnati tournament to
refrain from making up their minds
until the full quantity and quality OF
the ssniIk and honey" to be found IN
these respective cities is revealed TO
them
Meanwhile Cincinnati is making
preparations TO give visiting bowlers
a welcome and a series of entertain
ments that will completely over
shadow anything ever offered the
Pin knights OF America anywhere
Under the able direction OF Hon. Au-
gust Hermann. chairman OF the Ma
tionaI Baseball-C and for
mer president OF the American Bowl
ing Congress, the local committee has
already made remarkable progress in
laying out the entertainment pro-
gram, as we'll as making prepara-
tions for the proper and perfect con-
duct OF the tournament on the six

Now that women feel 1t duty to
make afternoon gowns do service for
evening wear, the ingenuity of costum-
ers is put to the test. From one of
the great Paris designers comes the
lovely gown pictured above and it is
triumph of Trench discernment and
good taste; for it is quiet enough for
daytime wear and distinguished
enough for evening. 1t is of black
satin with embroidery in silver thread.
This combination appears also in
French millinery from the most au-
thoritative sources, but in hats black
frame velvet is used instead of satin.
We may accept this gown as critic
rion in hues and general make up of
styles for the coming season. 1t has
a narrow, plain underskirt of moderate
ength and a straight hanging over-gar-
ment vaguely confined to the figure by
an easy girdle terminating in sash
ends. The girdle is made of satin
and that portion that encircles the
waist is embroidered while the sash
ends are plain. The skirt portion of

There is really an endless assert
ment of blouses all ready for women
who look to the blouse more than ever
to provide them variety In their ap-
Iparel. Since we may not have 50
many frocks, what with the scarcity
of wool and labor and everything, we
must turn to the blouses made Of cot
tons or those of silk to add the spice
Of variety to skirts and suits that are
serving overtime.
Blouses are of two characters
those that are moderate in price-any-
where from about three dollars to
eight or ten-and those that employ
lavish or difficult handwork that
brings their value up to two or three
times the outside price of those in the
other class. 1t seems inconsistent to
talk Of wartime economy In the same
breath with these extravagantly priced
affairs, but 1t is not always so; some
of them are remarkably durable. The
blouses that most women will buy,
however, are the moderately priced
models that are new and smart in de-
sign. French wolfe, fine batiste and
georgette crepe are the materials to
seIect-no matter what the price-for
1t is not In the materials but In the
laces and other decorative features
that take much time to make, that the
high value lies. Women who know
how to do exquisite needlework have
the ADVANTAGE because they can do
this exacting hAndwork for themselves.
Fine organdie ID another material that
helps solve the\ problem Of dainty
blouses at moderate prices.
Georgette remains great favorite
and the two new models shown In the
picture for M, are Of this delicate
and beautiful material. They are
slnoux the considerable number that

the overdress is as long as the under
skirt at the back and considerably
shorter in front. This is new de-
velopment of the tunic skirt which
is destined to reappear in winter
gowns. The embroidered band on the
back portion is not so wide as it is on
the front.
The sleeves and collar are especial
ly interesting because they are both
new departures. Both are as plain az
possible but each is original. The
sleeves are cut full length and f1aring
but are trimmed away at the wrist I'M
til the upper portion extends only
few inches below the elbow. The up

cite and is supported by few very
small, unnoticeable wires.

promises to be of all fabrics the most
used for afternoon gowns. New drap.

in conjunction with them.

When You Put Lace on.

We are not doing much in the my

q little roll and tie 1t with a thread SO
that 1t will not unroll. Then dip the
straight edge In hot water. Just the
edge, and about half the width Of the
