M0DISH IDEAS


Organize or batiste folds are In gem
eral use for trimming purposes on
cotton and silk dresses.
Hats Of Bingham are mentioned for
the little girls. They are usually of
the mushroom or poke shapes.
Filet lace trimming and hand EN-.
broidery are prominent on sheer white
wolfe and organdie summer dresses.
For dressy wear the newest black
satin slipper has a narrow collar all
the way round, Of cut jet and no
buckle.
Perhaps the most modish coat collar
is the one which is rather wide, softly
draped and merging into long revers
or an elongated vest front.
Black velvet handbags are to be
used this summer with the lingerie
dresses. These new bags also come in
very dark brown and blue, with ivo-
rine frames.
There are many sleeve innovations
some REVEALS of old fashions that are
quaint and pretty, while others are
new ideas smartly carried out in new
materials.

Church Mice Get Fat.

49,
Even the devout New York mice are
waxing fat on the war. That old say
ing about being "as poor as a church
mouse" is surely passe these days, be-
cause there isn't any such animal in
any of the houses of worship. They
are all rich, fat and well fed.
The cause is that most Of the
churches are offering free ''feed" every
Sunday night to the boys in khaki.
And these young men, try to be as
careful as they may, always let few
crumbs fall from the wholesome sand
wiches and tasty little cakes with their
rich icing.
That is where the transformation Of
the church mouse comes in.
A woman reporter dropped into the
chapel of the Fifth Avenue Presby-
terrain church the other evening ex-
pecting to attend prayer meeting, but
she got glimpse of a mouse and from
that moment until she reached the
street she forgot all about religion.
She, however, got a good glimpse of
the mouse. Never, she declared, had
she seen so large, so healthy, so pros
porous looking mouse in church.
All Of which proves that the war has
a silver lining even for the poor church
mouse

Pockets on the Decline.

Pockets have gone the downward
road prognosticated for them some
time ago. They still appear on frocks
of muslin, silk or satin and in coats
and suits. Perhaps they are not quite
SO usual as they were last autumn, but
for that very reason they are more eff
fective. And they are emphasized,
not merely placed with quiet idea
that they may be noticed or unnoticed,
as chance may direct. On some of the
new suits they are emphasized with a
band of fur at the top, and on some of
the silk frocks they are quite baglike
in shape and size. Of course, the new
calico frocks have pockets, some OF
them, but they are quite prim and fiat,
bound off, as BELTS calico pockets, with
bit of the same material, cut bias.

ALL WHITE GOWNS
Sheer Organizes, SWisses and
Linens Are Used.
Among the New Materials ArIette
With Texture Between Geor-
gette and Crepe de Chine,
Is Favored.

Looking at it from a fashion point Of
view, one realizes that after all there
is really nothing more becoming than
white, and summer is to see decided
prominence given to the all-white cos
tune, says correspondent. There is
| a smart morning costume of simple
tailored blouse and skirt, usually of
linen or one of the new cotton ma
terials; then for afternoon one
changes to- more elaborate hand
made frilIy blouse of batiste, with
just bit of fine lace, and completes
the ensemble by a skirt of silk Or
satin; and for the summer evening
frock nothing is lovelier or more sat
isfactory than white net sor point
d'esprit.
The charm Of summe7 frocks lies
not so much in anything s.artlingly new
or conspicuous, but rather in exquisite
dsintiness. Sheer organizes, summary
looking swisses and delicate nets and
geOrgettes are all fashioned into the
most adorable gowns, and as they are
usually put together with the finest of
handwork, the result is always distinc-
tive. Among the new materials n6he
is more beautiful than Arlette crepe
The texture is just between georgette
crepe and crepe de chine, and there
is q cross weave that gives character
without in any way detracting from It's
tilmy, delicate look. The range of col
ors is very wide, and it may be fash
iUned into the simplest Of morning
frocks or the most elaborate Of evening
creations. In dark shades it is adj
inirably adapted for street wear as it
is so delightfully."- cool.
Foulard and georgette offer unlimit-
I'd possibilities for combining different
materials in interesting ways, and they
are so summary and cool-looking even
In dark colors that they make ideal
frocks for warm days.
What could be more attractive for
Summer wear than the shirtwaist
frocks of crepe de chine or georgette
made in the simplest fashion with
.ucks and beautiful collars and cuffs
to give an air of immaculate freshness
SO essential at all times?
A very pretty model is of liberty
blue georgette; it has bands Of blue
and white foulard put on in very
effective way. The collar and waist
coat are of white organdie, beautifully
embroidered and an odd touch is given
by the bow and ends Of lighter blue
ribbon. Completing the costume is
hat, very chic and quite unusual. 1t is
made of dark blue taffeta and for trim
ming has a plated frill~ of white ba-
tiste.

WEAR GINGHAMs DURING WAR
Paris Takes TO the Material Which Is
Popular With Many in
America.

Now we may know that this is war
time. If we have not had it brought
home to us before, we are realizing it
now. For France has taken to ging-
hlm-bravely to bingham for the dura-
ton Of the war, notes fashion critic.
We wore ginghams last summer and
wear them this summer. 1t doesn't so
much matter what we wear. But
Paris in gingham is different mat
ter-and we bring out our last sum-
mer frocks with a new kind of feeling
;,nd look them over to see what can be
done to make them just a little more
Trenchy and complete.
In the first place bits of darker
color-black, or deeper shade OF the
same, help a great deal. Big hats go
with them, sometimes made of ging-
ham, roo, and a durable sort of para
sol is not amiss to finish the effect.
A pretty suit is made CT checked blue
and white, with a white lawn gilet,
and piain blue taffeta ribbon tie, and
white seam cording. 1t is cut higher
in front than in back, showing the
gilet plainly, and the white belt. The
way the tie crosses and comes down
through a slit on either side, hanging
well below the waist, is new and pleas
inc. The skirt is full, but somewhat
se.iil In at the hem. The White seam

Garden Apron.

The necessity Of some place to put
seeds when making garden gives one
this idea: Use any desired material
for an apron with plain bib to pin
on dress. Make a large pocket, reach
ing halfway up the apron and from
one side to the other. Sew this into
various-sized pockets. An apron nade
of heavy cotton cloth Will last for
years and be greatly appreciated by

A smart basque frock is made Of
gray madras or chambray, with white
linen collar, cuffs and gilet effect. This
is tight around the waist, coming well

which are full and daring at the bot

JEWS IN STRONG POSITION.

The jews of the world are looking to the ma
tions to restore their ancient homeland to them
and are in better position than ever before to
ask the favorable action of the governments I'M
der which they live. Never at any time since
that astute statesman Mordecai was prime
minister of Persia, next unto the king and
great among the jews were so many eminent
men of that race in high official positions or IN
fluential citizens of so many lands. Their serv-
ices to England during the present war have
been very great. Mond, Samuels and Montagu
have had cabinet offices. Nathan has been I'M
der secretary to the lord lieutenant OF Ireland.
Montagu is the present secretary for India, ana
Rufus Isaacs, Earl Reading, is now ambassa-
dor at Washington. In the French cabinet
Minister of Finance Klots is strong man. In
Italy Sonino following the policy of his core
ligia,sis. I szatti The minister Of final >r~ssss
largely responsible for Italy's entrance into the
war. In Germany Albert Balm is at the head
of the mercantile marine interests, Won Gwinner
is the head of the Deutsche bank, Rathenau IS
chief of the industrial army and Harden is the
most powerful Journalist Of the empire. In our
own country the list of Hebrews in high official
or advisory positions at Washington and at the
head Of great newspapers is long and too we'll
known to need repeating
These are the countries which will have it in
their power to satisfy the age-long aspirations
of the Hebrew people; and there are manifest
reasons why all the allied governments named
will find the restoration of Palestine to its an
cient owners desirable from many points OF
view The Zionists disown any desire for the
responsibility Of guardianship over the places
holy to christian and moslem as we'll as to them
selves They acknowledge the right of all
faiths and races to free access to them and ask
only that such of the jews of the world as may
care to go back to their fatherland may estab-
lish there government of the people under
which all inhabitants shall have assured and
equal rights.

BELIEF IN THE FUTURE LIFE.

Harry Lauder tells in the American
Magazine of his experience in France
and he says:
Il spent many days in the trenches,
the rest camps, the hospitals. and in
the surrounding towns, and the most
definite impression | carried away
was one concerning the spiritual at
mosphere which surrounds the
French and English soldiers in
France. l talked with some Of the
men for hours at a time about their
experiences in battle. about their
thoughts of home. about their feeling
toward the enemy, but the one thing
came away with, above all other Inn
pressions, was the conviction that
every single one of these men, no
matter what manner of lives they
had lived before, now possess calm,
clear conviction that If they fall In
the thick of the fight, they will pass
into the life beyond.

But the mquestioning obedience Of the soldier

to match autocratic government in efficiency.
Autocracy lives by what it acc2mplishes; de
mocracy lives by consent of the people, When
the two types meet in such a war as this, autoc-

As e'er Graded in the pine;
No bird had eye SO fearless,
Or wing so strong this of mine.
The winds not better love to pilot
A cloud with molten gold o'errun,
Than him. little burning islet
A star above the coming sun.
For with a larks heart he doth tower,
By glorious upward instinct drawn;
No bee nestles deeper in the flower
Than he in the bursting rose OF dawn.
No harmless dove, no bird that singeth,
Shudders to see him overhead;
The surge of his fierce swooping bringeth
To innocent hearts no thrill of dread.
Let fraud and wrong and baseness shiver,
For still between them and the sky
The falcon Truth hangs poised forever
And marks them with his vengeful eye
