The daily morning oasis., 1918-08-02

Sport clothes, having come to stay,
have their growing strength constantly
REINFORCED by wonderful new develop
ments. Designers can be as daring as
they like so long as they know, how to
turn out beautiful, if startling, new
things that are ingenious and full of
style.
Stripes and checks, in strong con-
trasts of color, made up in combina-
ton with plain color, have occupied our
field Of vision this year, almost to the
exclusion of the odd, brilliantly colored
figures that were strewn over the sur
face of sport clothes last year. These
checks and broad stripes are most
cleverly managed, and now we have
hats and turbans.made to match coats
and skirts. One wonders where these
new by-paths will lead, at any rate,
they run in the direction of the smart
est informal clothes that we have ever
known.
The sport costume pictured leaves
nothing to be desired in the way of
good style. 1t has a skirt Of white
shantung, with panels at the side

Hats Not Doing Things by Halves.
Hats are not doing anything by
halves this season. If small, they are
tres petit. If expensiveness of trim
is their ambition, they go the limit in
breadth and to emphasize it add a
fiatness in crown and trimming, says
the Dry Goods Economist.
When they are of straw they are the
toughest straw, and if they started
out to be tailored, the severity of their
lines is perfection. At the moment,
they wish to simulate perfect purity
in all white creations. Wings, breasts,
straw, ribbon, fowers-all are in spot
less white, not even dimly Swallowed
by an unpleasant thought of how long
they can remain clean.
The daily morning oasis., 1918-08-02

Why the veil? Merely masculine
minds will never figure out the answer
although they will have the rest of
time to ponder the question. Wells
were and are and will continue to be.
They are a strictly feminine institution
and whether they are worn to add
charm. to the face or to call attention
to charms already there, or for some
other reason, these are mysteries only
the yelled lady can solve for us. But
they make opportunity for capricious
ornamentation and for variety-two
very good reasons for the loyalty with
which women favor them.
New face wells this summer are near
ly all woven with a large mesh; the
hexagon-shaped mesh appears to be
best liked. Two examples of this par
ticular weave are shown at the left OF
the picture. They are circular and
float about the face. The veil at the
top INDUCES in the caprice of little and
big chenille dots and little pasted-on
velvet leaves, all of them dancing in
all the hayward wandering breezeS
they chance to meet. A few dots splat-
tered over a lovely chin, make us think
twice of it's delicious curves. A silk
scroll wanders in the most aimless and
happy-go-lucky way over the veil be-
low, but it just misses the eyes and
lust hits very alluring pair of lips,
which goes to prove that veil should
be taken seriously and adjusted with
care.

At the left appears the ''war BRIDE
veil-one Of the small consultations al

is of navy blue chiffon and is draped
about navy blue or navy blue and
white turban. This one is finished
with a narrow silk fringe, but most OF
them are simply hemmed. They are
probably destined to a short-lived pop
ularity-but they are very charming.
Wells should be tried on and selected
carefully as hats are, for some faces
look best under a plain, close mesh
without figures. Scrolls or dots or 9TH
er figures in front of the eyes, are
never pleasing; they look and are IN
comfortable

Flowers on Our Hats.

The way flowers are used on the
new summer hats is attractive. Really
more ingenuity has been shown
this year by the milliners than
for several years. Sometimes large
velvet flowers are appliqued fiat
against the straw or silk foundation Of
turban or other hat. Flowers are
massed under tulle, all over the crown
and brim. Sometimes a wreath of
flowers is used around the edge of the
crown, with a band of tullo fastened
over them to keep them neatly in place.
Many field fiowers--daisies and butter
cups, with poppies and corn flowers
are also used on the summer hats.
The daily morning oasis., 1918-08-02

Great strides have been made in our
country in weaving and cOlOring mate
rails, since the war has thrown us on
our own resources. And among the
novelties that demonstrate how sue
cessfully cotton has been turned into
lovely dress fabrics, there is the new
cotton fOulard. 1t Is very light and
supple, has a pretty sheen, and is
printed in the same smart and striking
patterns as silk foulard. Two dresses
are shown above, one of silk foulard
and crepe georgette and the other of
cotton foulard, figured and plain, with
sleeves Of georgette. The cotton dress
Is in every way a match for its silk
rival.
The dress at the left combines geor-
gette crepe in a warm tan color, with
fOulard in the same color, covered with
a lacelike pattern in white. Whether
the background is printed in on the
foulard, or the figured pattern is
bleached out, the fern leaf and flower
motif that covers the surface is very
delicate and beautiful. In the skirt
the foulard is set on over the georgette
crepe but in the bodice the order is re-
versed. There is short plain bodice
of the silk with an overbodice of crepe.
This has short kimono sleeves length
ened by broad band of foulard and
finished with a shaped flounce of crepe.

The sweater, having inspired all
sorts of sweater coats and sport coats
for the benefit of those who like to
combine smartness with uniformity in
dress, has improved its own original
conception. In the new models now
being manufactured of sweaters pure
and simple we discover garments more
trim and more carefully planned than
in the time-honored old original. Much
more attention is given to the details
of finishing, and even the utility sweat
err makes a feature of color. Any
number of gay shades, as bright as
field flowers, enliven outdoor back
grounds.
Many women knit their own sweat
ers and sweater-coats, but these hand
made garments are few by comparison
with those knitted by machinery. And
designers of machine knitted garments
have shown themselves amazingly clev-
er In turning out sweaters that are
almost replicas of those knitted by
hand. They are responsible for the
best of new models and the introduce
ton of novel decorative features that
make them interesting. Recently they
have introduced caps to match-in the
case of utility-to be worn in keen au-
tumn days or whenever wind and cold
make a hat not practical.
In the picture, at the left, sweater
coat is shown in light color bOrdered
with white The range of colors in
cludes turquoise, orchid, rose, citron,
gold, emerald, amethyst, etc., and less
unusual shades that have come to be
recognized as sweater shades. The
picture tells the story of this model in
every detail, simple and effective de-

with cuffs of plain foulard and the
plain goods serves for the little vest
at the front and the short sash. A
white organdie collar, finished at the
ends with the smallest of pearl but
tons, is in harmony with the frock.
The same tiny buttons are placed in a
close-Set row on the vest.
So far as beauty is concerned, one Of
these frocks is as pretty as. the other.
The cotton frock is likely to outlast
its rival and costs less for the materials,
so 1t is worth considering where econ
omy or patriotism urge one to save
money.

If the knob on the end of one of
your knitting needles of bone or wood
comes off and is lost, as sometimes
happens, mold little ball of melted
paraffin, or of beeswax, on the needle.
1t will harden, and stay on quite well.
If you are knitting lace edging, and
have only long steel needles, cut
them short with a wire cutter, add a

showing broad bands of colOr-in this
case vivid green-on white ground.
The sleeveless jacket, with narrow
belt and patch pockets, is in the same
bright green, and large buttons on the
skirt reveal how perfectly big buttons
fit in with the character of sport
clothes.
Large checks, broad stripes and
fringes have joined forces with but
tons to give those who think up sport
clothes every possible chance of sue
cess. The slip-over styles in sweaters
and blouses play into their hands, and
other allies are the new heavy weaves
in silk and the fancy shaded striped
tricots. Long, wide scarfs that may
be worn in several ways, and scarfs
that are belted and pocketed to be
worn in but one way, are made with
companion pieces in hats that match
them. A white blouse and skirt find
themselves part Of sport suit in their
company.
