smirk Of fatuous pride on the face
of the fat mother Of family!
This classic and uncorseted figure
crossed the channel, and all virtuous
comes from those who do not, or can
not, indulge in a new fashion. But the
Greek costume and figure went on to
the summit of popularity. They were
mier. against whose character the gos-
sips Of that day, or this, have found
naught to say.
Over the undulating figure the loose
Grecian robes were called la Flores,
a la Diane, la Ceres.
There seems to be little disposition
to return to such frocks IN their en-
tirety in this fifth year Of the war, but
the high waist line Is gaining adher-
ents each week. 1t Is modified from
the directoire exaggeration. The short
sleeves Of that period have been re-
turned to fashion. but are not suf1i-
GENTLY approved to make q ripple on
the surface, although they were more
taken up in Paris than here.
The clinging effect Of the skirts is
as strongly accentuated now as then,

have discarded the chemise; yet it
must be quickly said that we use a
substitute. We are not going in for
the transparent drapery without a
lining. No scandals like those Of Nine
Hamelin's day for US!
No imposed drapery on the skirt Of
this winter is permitted to give It bulk
or bulging curves. Lines must follow
those OF the body. In SO much have
we adopted the classic. Therefore soft
materials are preferred. Satin, panne
velvet and chiffon velvet are chosen
more than other fabrics for those
frocks that are to serve for whatever
gala occasions we allow ourselves this
season.
Chiffon itself has taken a second or
third place, and dyed lace Is pushed
forward as substitute. Even cream
lace Is revived for entire frocks. but
it does not have the prestige of gray
or brown. Both these colors are draped
over tulle or satin in the same or
contrasting color.
One of the really distinguished cos
tunes Is built up in q level tone Of
gray with a faint glimmer Of mauve

vividness, as though a rainbow color

built to. go with it-one which has
silk beaver as its foundation, and a
struggling spray OF copper ostrich

1t is because the clinging skirt,
made of soft materials, IL at the
height Of fashion that lace is revived.
1t knows how to cling. It is used in
uneven fiounces as rule, dropping
a satin skirt. The accepted lengthen-
ing of all skirts this season takes
away any seeming immodesty in such
slender draperies, and one only thinks

Your vacation would start ON
June 10,
And you could have two weeks off
With pay,
You sat down with paper and pencil
And figured out just how much
You hand in bank,
And how much the fare would be
To the place you intended to go,
Because SHE was going to be there,
And you had also figured out
How much the new suit was going
to cost,
And the new straw,
And the new "dogs,"
And the silk sox,
And how much you owed on your
Liberty bond;
And you had it figured out to a
fraction
Which allowed you just so much for
entertainment
The kind of entertainment
That costs money;
Wouldn't il make you sore if

Stepped in and raised the travelling
rates,
The Pullman rates and everything,
And made it so you couldn't go
Or else would have to make the trip
