VERY MANY Wells
IN SMART
MODELS

The adventures of the old time
dime novel who disguised herself by
spotted veil would be able to man
age better with the large patterns that
are the vogue this spring.
She could give herself quite a pain
less black eye or she could confer
upon herself the order of a broken
nose.
Should she have had any particu-
lar fancy for a hirsute appendage
on lip or on chin she could always
have simulated it by the veil pat
tern.
AS a matter of fact, the mode for
dots and designs on wells has been
exaggerated almost to the point of
grotesqueness in many instances
There are, however, many very
smart models and, needless to say,
these wells which make the most of
the faces beneath them are not in the
extreme of style.
But they are free from exaggera-
ton and are just what the well dress
ed woman likes to wear.
A word to the wise is sufficient So
even with the simplest of these pat
termed wells, beware of the way you
wear them!-
For the tricky things will play al
sorts of havoc with your features il
you do not arrange them cleverly and
take care that the spots are where yoU
want them.
Notice the curious, often comfca.
| effects achieved by some of the de-
| voices of the wells and pledge your
self to consult your mirror carefully
when you don yours.
Two entirely different types o:
wells are pictured here.
The small face veil is Of fine mesf
and single petalled flower in {
| threadlike design appears now ant
again far apart upon it's surface, be
tween which at regular intervals ar
tiny conventional squares.
The smart chip straw hat will
which it is here worn is developed il
| dark brown with novel arrangement
of satin ribbon in lighter tone. Al
odd feather fancy affords appropriate
trimming.
/ Designed for the woman who wishe
to show her patriotism in her dres
| was the long draped affair.
It has been designated the Libert.
Bell veil, for tiny replicas Of the ia
nous old bell combine with the lea
and flower pattern in the design o
this model.
A simple sailor half straw and hal
satin is the type of hat which whel
worn with this kind of veil is sur
to insure an effect that is striking.

sonal charm.
Exercise your neck if you wish it
to be graceful and nicely rounded. It
is very simple to bend the head for
ward and to lift it upward slowly 10
or IL times each day, and yet this
simple little attention will contribute
a greata deal to the beauty of the
neck. Bend it backward and up
ward number Of times, to the right
and to the left a number of tifes.
If you are not inclined to dizziness
the following is an exercise that IS
very beneficial for the neck:
Swing your head around from the
shoulders in a complete circle as
many times as you can do it without
discomfort.
Better still, is this mode difficult
exercise:
Lie fat on the floor and raise and
lower the head alone. Do this as
often as you can. Perhaps at first
you will not be able to do it moro
than two or three times, and as soon
as you feel fatigued you should stop
But if you can raise and lower the
head about 10 times in this way il
will help a great deal toward devel-
oping the beauty of the neck.
This position is very relaxing for the
whole body if done correctly.

EVER POPULAR SATIN.

Satin is fabric which is always
fascinating. Once in a. great while it
becomes a little too prevalent and
has to be dropped for a time, only
to reappear more trtumphant1y than
ever Time cannot dim rs 1ustre,
and for the present 1t is as popular
as ever. In the lighter colors it is far
too brilliant for use in most daytime
clothes, but at night these shades
have their turn. Combined with
navy and darker shades, beige and
gray satin are excel1ently suitable for
wraps and trotteur dresses, but SO
much has been written and seen OF
this costume that further mention is
unnecessary. Satin for capes and
long all-enveloping wraps has grown
in favor for the last few weeks and
it must be classified as truly smart
A good looking cape of tan satin had
a reverse side of very dark blue and
was bordered all the way round the
bottom with deep fringe of both blue
and tan. The collar rolling over be-
low the shoulder line was of blue
and the whole cape was reversible
showing the opposite colors.
Long black satin coats have deer
bands of quilted patterns, roses be-
ing a favorite pattern, and applique3
figures in gold were lavishly used or
the deep collar Of another model
Fiber satin is extensively used fol
capes and coats for motoring and fol-
semi-sports or utility wear.

may be astonished to know that the
skin, as it perspires, absorbs of. the
dyes of colored fabrics, which arc
both unwholesome and destructive to
the beauty of the neck.
Many women scrub the neck with
soap and hot water, dry it carefully,
and then think they've done all that
is correct. But it isn't so. If you

MAKING FOOD FROM WASTE.

Keep this thought in mind in con-
sidering the growing of more pou1-
try as war necessity: Poultry is
a means of converting into good food
materials that cannot be utilized by
man, that cannot be eaten by any
other kinds of stock, and that with
out the poultry would be absolute
waste. Very clearly it becomes ma
tional as well as an individual duty
to keep enough poultry to take up
all such waste materials. AS long
as fowls take the bulk of their feed
from such sources and require to be
fed on grain or other garnered feeds
only as a finishing process. additional
food is being created

~Secks cannot remain lovely or be-

The tight collar not only causes
some unsightly lines around the neck,

of some such fabric through which
the air can circulate.

CATHERINE OF RUSSIA.

Catherine Of Russia rose from the
station of peasant girl to that of En-
press, having been the daughter of d
peasant of Livonia- When a young
girl she married a Swedish dragon
who was killed in battle on the day of
his wedding. Catherine, who was very
beautiful, came to the attention Of the
Russian general Bauer, who made her
his mistress. Then, one day, along
came Prince Mentschikoff and at
once was captivated by her. She
transferred her affections to him, thus
rising another step. All this hap
pened before her seventeenth year.
At age of seventeen she became the
mistress of Peter the Great, emperor
of Russia, who later married her and
presented her with the diadem and
sceptre. After his death she was
proclaimed empress of all the Rus
sias and showed herself worthy OF
her high fortune.

IRONING BOARD HINT.

Most women find ironing a very
back breaking and firing occupation
freed from tired back and aching feet.
This is accomplished by sitting in a
comfortable chair and placing the
ironing board low enough down SO
that the knees pass easily under it.
If one uses an electrically heated iron
this is especially easy as it is unneces-
sarv to get up to change irons.

WEDDING RINGS.

The platinum wedding ring is fast
replacing the gold one. This is a
natural consequence of the popular
platinum engagement ring. The gold
wedding ring will not look well with
it. Realizing this fact, one engaged
girl was in a quandary. She liked
the effect of the platinum wedding
ring, but felt she wouldn't feel really
truly married with any but gold one!

on the flow of men and munitions to
France, Secretary Daniels said to-day.

carry our men and munitions to the
great battlefront and TO guard food sup.
plies for our cobelligerents. That has
been accomplished thus far and we will
continue 10 keep the road open"
The navy department had no further
advices at noon to-day from the patrol
feet hunting down the submarine that
was last heard from off the Virginia
coast.
Naval officials are proceeding on the
theory that many submarines may be off
the coast or may be expected 10 arrive,
although they have nothing TO indicate
that more than two have been operating.
When American destroyers and other
small craft were sent abroad for work in
the war zone. it was fully realized that
submarine raids in American waters were
entirely possible and the entire coastal
patrol service has been built up on that
assumption.
Viewed from a purely American stand
point, officials believed the despatch of
the swift naval craft to foreign waters
was unwsrranted, but American troops
could not be sent TO France with any de-
gree OF security and the United States
,ould not take its fair share of the bur-
len of the war unless they vert. That
was the consideration that impelled the
government to east prudence aside and
'ush ships abroad.
Without question it was felt the key |

The report of operations along the
British front fails to show any notable
activity on the part of the Germans. At
Morlancourt, between the Ancre and the
Somme, south of Albert, the Germans,
supported by heavy artillery fire, at
tempted to raid the British positions but
were repulsed, leaving prisoners behind.
In the defense of the bridges across the
Marne, the allies repulsed the enemy and
with their rifle fire prevented the Ger
mans from making any serious attempts
to cross the Marne
American machine gun fire has con
verted the northern part of Chateau
Thierry into No Mans Land. The Ger
mans, to hold their positions under a
storm of bullets poured into them by the
Americans, have withdrawn to the out Il
skirts of that section of the city.
