IMPART AIR OF sPRINGTIME
silk Floss Flowers on the Side Of
Marrow Collar Of Girls Suits
Look Like Fresh Nosegays.

Two advance models for misses have
a novel embroidered touch which lends
them distinct springtlme atmosphere.
silk floss flowers In natural coloring
embellish the right side Of youthful
narrow shawl collars, looking as
though fresh nosegays had been tucked
In, says Women's Wear.
A small pink carnation with foliage
is very chic on an Elton suit of navy
tricotine, which may also be worn as
a dress. Black satin folds are used
to define the tailored shapeliness of
collar and cuffs whose curves match,
as well as a horizontal barlike panel
which offsets the double-breasted
closing. Two flying panels, one piece
above shoulder blades, give an unusual
back to this Elton, for the ends of each
are finished with cord fringe.
There is a one-sided tunic on the
narrow skirt which completes this
model. The other, a nobby suit Of
navy Poiret twill, has a bluet embroid-
cred on 1t, traclngs of silver thread
simply marking the shadows cast by
the blending shades of floss.
Oblong inset panels on the narrow
belt and others of larger dimensions
arranged halfway between skirt Sec

other features that are different"

The Oldest Living Creature.

Among the oldest life forms on the
globe is the shellfsh, known as the
lingula, a specimen of which was tax
en- from Manila bay several years
ago. The genus, according to SCI
entists, has remained practically unal-
tered for more than a hundred million
years. With the extraordinary changes
Of climate and environment since the
world began most forms of life with
which science is familiar have been
transformed or have altogether disap-
peared since the geologic ages. THAT
the genus lingula," says the Journal Of
Heredity, SHOULD have survived for all
these ages, and undergone virtually no
change, is striking evidence of the fact
that the germ plasm, which under some
conditions, as in the case Of the horse
and the dog, is capable Of extraOrdi-
nary variation, is under other condi-
tons remarkably constant"

To Retain Freshness.

The care Of the skin is perhaps the
most imperative task in keeping up
ones appearance. The only way to re-
tain freshness and strength, especially
when 1t is being taxed by daily work,
is by careful nourishment and rest.
Many persons drink too much coffee,
especially those who work hard men,
tally and feel the need of a "bolstering
up" to continue their labor. Milk and
food are good substitutes, and a little
nourishment taken when one is tired
will allay fatigue just as surely as cor
fee seems to do.

RANKS WITH SERGE
SHORT CUTS IN NEEDLEWORK
Suggestions That viii Save q Few
Minutes Time Are Most Welcome
in These Busy Days.

Time is way above par nowadays.
Everybody is busy. No one has time
to devote TO fine stitches If big
stitches win do. Hence any sugges-
ton which will save a few minutes by
the clock are welcome. What about
these?
If you need a casing for the top Of
camisole or nightgown or Riddles
frOck in a hurry, try making wide
cat-stitch on the outside of the gar
ment with a heavy silk or mereerized
cotton. You can run ribbon or tape
through this and make it decorative,
as well as useful, in a much shorter
time than stitching on the usual bias
facing. There is another way, too, of
crocheting a row Of open filet mesh
and sewing 1t on. This takes a little
longer but wears wen for wash
clothes.
White-bone knitting needles slip
through the wool much quicker If they
are first fled on a plain kitchen file,
as you would a lead pencil, into a
long smooth point.
In hemming towels or table linen
don't stop to make knots. They are
unslghtly, anyway. Just run the
stitches for the first half-inch very
small with back stitch or two, and
do the same at the end of a thread.
With the new thread begin over the
last few stitches in the same way
and you viii never need a knot.
A loose feather stitch for sewing
tucks into dresses for growing girls
is much better than either hand en-
broidery or machine stitching. 1t
wears well, takes but q short time
and does not show the marks Of the
stitches when removed.
Don't pin patterns If you are in
hurry; you are sure to pin croOkedly.
Use weights Of books, heavy desk ar
ticles or small bags filed with sand
for the purpose. They hold as well as
pins and are much simpler prop0-
Siti0n.

VEIL DESIGNS ARE VARIED
Some So Elaborated With Outline or
Traeery Embrolderies That They
Resemble Lace.

While the scroll veil is very popu-
lar, it has a rival in the dotted veil.
The latter may show the dot in heavy
chenille spots, velvet pastelles or in
embOideries of silk. It's chief allure
ment lies In Its novelty.
Nearly all the new wells have geo.
metrical or irregular meshes, many Of
them so elaborated with outline or
tracery embroideries as to resemble
lace. Dark brown, taupe and gray are
favored colors, sometimes overweight
with white or black embroideries.
The veil shapes are almost as varied
as the colors and patterns. Some are
square, others circular, and there are
those that are oblong. Indeed, good
deal of pains has been taken to shape
the veil so that 1t will have an artistic
relation to the hat with which 1t will
be ultimately worn.

waist by the surplice section, which
extends into sash ends that tie at the
center of the back. The back Of the
dress runs in one piece to a point well
below the waistline, where the skirt
is gathered on, with fullness let in to
form a moderate side flare, The dress
fastens in the center front, fastening
being concealed by the surplice bodice.
This dress would be very effective
developed in tan or beige color, with
collar of green, purple or red broad
cloth.
Many surplice bodices are shown in
wool jersey. One model recently noted
has the bodice reaching exactly to the
normal waistllne and fitting rather
smoothly in the back. The front is cut
in conventional surplice style, with
ends that loop at the back. The skirt
is straight and gathered to the bodice.
The dress is collarless, sleeves and
neck opening, as well as surplice sash
eads, being piped with broadcloth in
contrasting color.

Where Canes Are popular.

There is probably no country in the
world where the use Of walking sticks
Is so general as in the United King
dom. Practically every man carries
cane, not only in the towns and cities
but also in the country and, In addi-
ton, there is large demand for walk
ing sticks for women, these being used
extensively In the country and at sea-
side resorts, but not to a great extent
in the cities.
The winter months are always rainy
and even during the summer the
weather is often very unsettled, so that
the use of umbrellas is also unusually
great. These conditions have made
the manufacture of umbrellas and
walking sticks an important industry
in the British isles.

Jersey Cloth Staple Fabric for
0ne-PieCe Dresses.
Stands Much Wear and Tear and
Lends Itself to Either Straight
Lines or 0raperIes.

Wool jersey cloth now ranks with
serge as a staple fabric for the devel-
opment Of one-plece dresses. This
material has not been on the market
many seasons, but it has so much to
commend 1t that Its permanent popu-
larity seems assured. AS material for
dress for hard wear-that is, for
business or travelling wool jersey
cloth hardly has an equal. 1t stands
a great deal of wear and tear and
freshening up, and to a business wom-
an that is certainly strong point.
Then jersey, like serge, seems to
lend itself to either straight lines or
draperies.
The frock sketched is made of wool
jersey cloth, and has the surplice type
of bodice which is becoming to most
figures. A straight line front is fea-
tured, although this is broken at the

ALCOHOL DANGER TO AMERICAN

ALLIES.
1t is gratifying to know that there is
a sentiment in Paris which recognizes
the fact that Uncle Sam has thrown
safeguards around his soldiers which
are effective as long as they are on
American soil, and, out of respect to
this very evident hostility Of our gov
eminent towards drink, urges pr0tec-
ton for American soldiers on French
soil from the perils of alcohol. The
following Is from La Revue of Paris:
Sat the present moment France is
attracting the eyes of the world more
than ever before. 1t is not enough to
show our enthusiasm regarding the
English, Americans, Italians, Portu-
guese or Russians who are dwelling
among us. We must likewise watch
over their moral security. But alco-
holism menaces all in the same degree.
The "Sammies" who arrive from the
United States total or partial prOhi-
,bitiOnists are exposed to multiple dan
gers and temptations.
''The great American republic ac-
cepts with heroism the sacrifices in
men and money which the war against
the Germans may demand. But let US
take care We shall commit an evil
action If her children find themselves
exposed not only to the danger of be-
ing slain at the front, but to that Of
being poisoned by alcohol. Many writ
ers in the United States have already
manifested fears upon this point. A
few concrete cases would suffice to
cause an outburst of opinion ON the
other side. The Germans are watching
and they will not be slow to exploit
such sentiments, which are justified.
indeed, to paralyZe the noble popula-
ton of the United States towards the
sacred cause Of the allies.
"We cannot lay too much emphasis
upon the decree issued by the British
military authority, January Is, 1917,
prohibiting the circulation Of alcohol
in all the French regions occupied by
the English ARMY And this Sin order

WHY THEY SELL IT.

Saloonkeepers do not sell the drug
alcohol to man simply for the sake
Of destroying him. They give him
what Injuries him because they think
that is the way by which they can get
his money. They do not desire, on
their own account, to ruin his charac-
ter. take away his property, break his
wife's heart, and beggar and starve his
children. Their object is only to get
the mans money, and they do these
things because that seems the shortest
way. Yet It is the price Of blood.

In her distress and anguish at the

Young man upon whom he was asked

of his heart. He had not attempted
to curb the progress of the long WOO

He had tried to feel that whatever
faults the young man might possess
would be obscured by the renovating
power of the sweet, gentle influence
of Estelle. The beautiful young girl
aroused from her lethargy of grief
when Marvin Farr, a few days after
her great bereavement, came to the
,desolate house. He was subdued, she
noted. but that was natural. He ex-
messed his sorrow In tender terms. If
Estelle noticed that he was abstract
cd. that he did not refer to their fu-
ture. she traced It indulgently to con-
sideration for her troubles. He left
her without the customary parting
Kiss but he spoke feelingly of her great
bereavement and left her counting the

again.

His wish had always been expressed
that cremation, the scattering Of his

mark his fitting from one sphere into

world ego was a slowly ascending, va
