New Sports Skirt Made Of Striped
Wool-New Chiffon Fabric-Straw
Fiowers-Plaited Tulle.

One OF the new sports skirts is made
Of striped wool, the stripes running
up and down. The skirt is so cut
that the stripes are mitered, begin
ming Mt hip depth In the back, and
they meet at the back seam in a cross
wise direction. The two stripes oil.
rectly in front run from waist to hem,
forming a panel. The two next stripes,
one on each side of the front, are
mitered at hem depth, and SO on each
two stripes are mitered higher and
higher until those at the back are mi
tered at hip depth.
One Of the new chiffon fabrics is
made with a deep border running along
one side of silver embroidery, in a
rich and intricate design. .
Straw flowers, not a novelty this sea-
son, are shown on some of the new
hats. The very fact that they are not
a novelty has given them a chance to
show what they are worth, and we all
know from experience that they are
durable for summer hats that will get
hard wear.
Tulle is sold all plated, by the yard,
to place about the crow and brim of
the straw hat. This tulle comes with
a wide %fOuncing, laid in plaits, to
place owe the brim of the hat, and a
narrower flouncing, likewise laid in
plaits, to stand upright about the
crown. A soft folded band OF tulle
that goes about the bottom Of the
crown connects the two widths of
loumcing. With a big flower, perhaps
placed against the crown where the
tulle is joined, the hat trimming Is
complete.
We have heard and seen much of
braid this season. One striking suit
Of sand-colored gaberdine is made with
all edges, including the hem of the
skirt, bound with self-colored braid a
couple of inches wide. The sleeves,
long. and flaring over the hand, are
slashed at the outside seam and this
slashing, of course, is also bound with
the braid.

BLUE SILK JERSEY
Wlnsome Design of Material in
High Favor.
Best Suits Embroidered by Hand or
Are Decorated With Braidinus
Worked in Silk Soutache.

The sketch shows a je%rsey-cloth cos
tune of the latest design. It may be
accepted as a fact that jersey cloth,
In silk or wool, is as popular as ever
It was; even more popular, according
to a prominent fashion correspondent.
Several OF u leading dressmakers
state that Jersey cloth has come to
stay. That it is as much a necessity
In h world Of dress as serge or satin.
This particular model was expressed in
dull blue silk jersey and embroidered
In smoke-gray silks and soutache.
This combination of blue and gray is
very fashionable. For quiet afternoon
dresses, navy blue jersey cloth is made
up with smoke-gray satin, and with the
best results. The model sketched had

FOULARD FINDS ITS WAY

Into bathing suits. OF curse it is a
little previous for most of us to talk
of bathing suits, but in Southern re-
sorts are already to lie seen the modes
that will be in favor with us all later
on. These foulard bathing suits are
usually in dark blue OF black and
white.
Into millinery. Some Of the new
sailor hats have crushed bands of
foulard silk to match the gown with
which they are Worn. Sometimes the
foulard is in batik design, and some
times it is simply dark blue or black
fOplard with white polka dots.
Into coat Innings. Sometimes in the
spring suits that combine the mini
mum of wool with enough silk to sup
ply the wool deficiencies the lining of
the coat is of foulard to match the
underskirt or other silk part of the
suit.
Into collar and cuff sets for serge
dresses. The pattern showing polka
dots and ring dots are especially
chosen for collar and cuff sets to be
with navy blue or black serge
street frocks for spring.
Into parasols. Some of the newest
parasols are made Of foulard in black
and white or blue and white in all
sorts of designs. The silk is shirred
and sometimes ruf1ed and tucked and,
because of its softness, it lends itself
especially well to this sort Of treat
ment.

In No Hurry.

A rookie a Great Lakes was noted
for being late. He was always the
last to be dressed and the last to turn
out. At last the company commander,
cXasperated by the rockies hardness.
called him to the front of the com
pany and said: "Say, are you with us
in this war or nOt?"

Tunic.
a long tunic coat, but this garment was
slightly punched up at the back to
form a sort of japanese sash. On a
tall, slight figure such an arrangement
would be very attractive, but for the
average woman a tunic coat which
falls straight all round is best.
Both Worth and Paquin are using a
good deal of a heavy make of silk jer-
sey cloth, especially for sports coats
Of elaborate design. Worth is making
these coats Of striped materials, beige
and white stripes, black and gray
stripes and SO on. Nearly all the best
~jersey-cloth suits are embroidered by
hand or decorated with braidings
worked in narrow silk soutache.
These em%brOideries and braiding are
in the am color as the dress ma
terial as a rule, but sometimes one
finds a beautiful model In which bright
colored embroideries have been intro
duced on neutral tinted jersey cloth.
Gray, in every shade, is the craze of
the year and especially popular is the
soft shade OF elephant gray.

But what used to be called modesty
is now listed as prudishness. The
average maid Of today doesn't blink
at a flock Of Cupids, Psyches, Venuses
or Dianas. She can mingle on equal

The object Of my affection was a
girl Of my own age who lived at the
other end Of our block. She had fiery
red hair and the sides Of her nose were
dotted with freckles, but she was beau
tiful to me and she was mighty popu-
lar with the boys. Nowadays she
would be called a good sport but q
wild fiirt. But she was always cheer
full and she was the only girl who had
not made fun Of my buck tooth and so
I loved her to distraction.
So also did others.

Preacher kept Hls Cap.
An old woman gave Lincoln q cap
which she had made out Of fox fur.
'It was his Sunday cap" said Mr.. Col.
laher. sAand Abraham was proud of It.
A journeyman preacher passed through
the country one day and stopped at the
Lincoln cabin. He decided to hold a
meeting In the neighborhood. During
the series Of reyivals the preacher lost
his hat, and Mrs. Lincoln loaned Little
Abe's' cap to the minister. It was
never returned. Abraham asked me
what thought OF the preacher, and
I told him that thought that the fell
low was rascal. Well, Austin said
Abraham, You know mother has been
telling us about the thief on the cross |;
I wish the Jews would catch this
thief Little Abe said that he would
always be good. but that he would
never Join a church. He never forgot
the preacher who stole the cap. and he
frequently said to me that he never
wanted another Sunday cap-one at a
time was enough"
Tom Lincoln was Of rowing dispo-
sition. He was frequently away from
home for days at time. During Tom
Lincoln's visits Into the wilderness
Little Abe" was his mothers only pro-
lection. He never left his mother
while Tom Lincoln was nway, except
to visit his traps. and Mrs. Lincoln
often accompanied him on these err
rands. Austin Gollaher told me. a
short time before he died. that Tom
Lincoln owned two flintlock rifles; one
Of these guns he carried with him and
the other he left at home. During

sion," said Mr.. Gollaher, 1.-THE leader in

the ground, and, since the nearest
neighbor Of the Lincoln's lived several
miles away, 1t was apparent to Mrs.
Lincoln that she and Little Abe must
find some game close to the Lincoln
cabin or perish Of hunger. Mrs. Lin
coin was courageous woman; she
faced a conflict with as much deter
mination as any woman in the world.
Early one morning she told Little Abe
Of the true condition Of the cabin

the hallooing kept up till daylight, but
no trace Of Little Abe was found.
Again the searchers gathered at the
Lincoln cabin to consult with each
other as to the best course to pursue,
but before any plan Of search was
agreed upon Little Abe and his rabbit
dog came moseying up.
Young Lincoln had left his sack Of
corn at the mill, and while waiting his
turn decided to stroll down the river
just to see how the ''land lay" beyond
the confines Of Hodgen's mill. He
found the cave, hurriedly dreamed a
dream Of hidden treasures, and in he
went, implicitly believing that he
would come forth with an abundance
of gold. He could neither find gold or

For the benent Of those to whom
the intermittent boiling or processing
may not be familiar, 1t may be ex-
planned that this consists merely Of
placing the cans or Jars Of material to
be treated in the boiler or Gamer, and
boiling for the required length Of time
ON each Of three successive days. By
many this Is considered . safer pro-
cedure than the use Of single long
period of boiling.
II you employ this method. when the
Jars are being given the second and
third boiling treatments, you shocld
loosen the clamps or unscrew the lids
slightly just before you place them
again in the boiling water. Tighten
covers at the end Of each boiling. As
the seal Of the Jars is loosened slight
ly during each boiling, the metal
capped Jars, sometimes called "her-

mittent work. Jars with self-sealing
wire-clamped tops are most satisfac-
tory to use in Intermittent canning.
