They do many things you never saw
elephants do before, because a lot
of their tricks are newly learned.
But, as the elephants have been act
ing at breakneck speed for a long
while, learning new stun is easy for
them. And they love to act. They
rush into the rings so fast that their
trainers have a deuce of a time
keeping up with them. They are the
original speedmerchants, these ele-
plants. Even if they have to push
wagons around the lot all morning,
they are ready and eager to show off

Now that women feel it a 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
q triumph Of French discernment and
good taste; for it is quiet enough for
daytime wear and distinguished
enough for evening. It 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 a critic
rion in hues and general make up of
styles for the coming season. 1t has
a narrow, plain underskirt of moderate
length and 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

skirt at the back and considerably
shorter in front. This is a 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.

" interesting because they are both

standing collar is of black crepe georg-

small, unnoticeable wires.
Satin in black and in dark colors,

used for afternoon gowns. New drap-

and silver tinsel in embroidered bands
is sure to be followed by silver lace
in conjunction with them.

When You Put Lace on.

We are not doing much in the way
of fancy work nowadays. Knitting
takes up all our spare time, and to it
we devote our energy. But perhaps
you will have occasion to sew some
lace on q curving edge-like that of a
centerpiece-and if you do. writes a
correspondent, here lis little trick
divulged by woman who is expert
enced in such things. Roll the lace in
a little roll and tie it with a thread so
that it will not unroll. Then dip the
straight edge in hot water. Just the
edge, and about half the width of the
lace. Wiring the water out and dry the
lace, still in the little roll When it is
dry the inside will be slightly shrunk,
so that it will measure less than the
outside, and so you will have less diff
ficulty In fitting it to the curved edges
Of the centerpiece.

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 apz
parel. Since we may not have so
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
select-no matter what the price-for
it 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 70 do exquisite needlework have
the advantage because they can do
this eSacting handwork for themselves.
Fine organdie is another material that
helps solve the problem of dainty
blouses at moderate prices
Georgette remains a great favorite
and the two new models shown in the
picture for tun are of this delicate
and beautiful material. They are
among the considerable number that
