Those who design suits showed us
lust how adroit they could be when
they managed their early spring offer
lngs of wool. They had to be made Of
the shortest allowance of goods, but
the designers made virtue Of neces-
sity and the conservation OF wool
worked to the advantage Of styles.
Later they turned to several new and
heavy weaves in silk as substitute
Tor wool and for midsummer they were
able to forget all about saving ma
terials and design suits Of taffeta and
satin according to their own fancy.
These make the last Of their offerings;
for now they must begin their work
for fall.
No one could ask for more than they
have done this season In giving us va
riety in styles. In the pretty suit at
the left Of the picture there returns
once more the banished plated skirt,
with four double box plaits, to COM
mend 1t to the possessor Of slender
figure. The short coat boasts side
plaits below the waistline, the design
er apparently determining to make the
most Of the privilege Of using plaits
again. The coat opens over q narrow
white vest, the straight pieces at each
side Of the front having the effect OF
scarf ends finished with pendent. silk
covered balls.
The suit at the right Is Of black
taffeta with a plain, moderately full
skirt. Coats pointed at the bottom

Mend Your Shoes.

Repair your shoes. What you have
In your closets contain better leath-
er than the manufacturer can supply
you In the new shoes you intend to
buy" W. s. Anderson Of New York
told delegates to the annual conven-
ton of the National Leather and Shoe
Finders association, in session recent
ly. That is the only way to conserve
leather. He said that no country IN
the world has a fair supply of leather.
"This demand from all parts Of the
globe on the North American supply
imposes the necessity Of repairing old
Shoes" he said

Washable Walls.

Why should children prefer to write
on immaculate walls rather than on
writing paperf Because, first, their
mothers caution them not to do II, and,
second. because the walls are whittier
and the writing looks better on them
than 1t does on paper. But the time
has come when the mother need fear
for the white nursery walls no longer.
They can indeed, be changed from a
source Of irritation to education
al purposes By means Of finish which
makes them washable. In other words
all pencil, crayon and pen marks may
be washed away. Consequently, the
wall surface Is as good a place for
drawing pictures or making examples
as a blackboard. Although the finish
Is Intended primarily for the walls of
the nursery, 1t may be used in the
kitchen. living room or other part of
the house where children are won't to
try out artistic ability on the walls.
The finish may be In any one of
number Of different shades.

ChiIdren's Clothes.

There are many serviceable frocks
Of linen Of heavy weave. For some
reason, some Of the smart children's
outfitters have put out an unusual
number Of linen frocks in yellow and
lavender; perhaps because these
colors are off the beaten track Of
children's equipment. We must all
have grown a little weary Of the in
cessant pink and blue conventionally
selected for little girls few years
and more ago, observes a Paris fash
ion correspondent. 1t does seem q lit
tie odd to put lavender on two-year-
old, doesn't it, And yet one Of the
most charming frocks recently shown
by q children's dressmaker Of note
was Of white wolfe, with collars and
cuffs of violet organdie finished with
loose, coarse buttonholing.

An additional number has been added
to the program for this year-a
"Class Will''-which will be read by

number is very unique and will take
rank along side the salutatory and

Miss McGavock leaves to the teach
ers and undergraduates will excite
the laughter of the entire audience
and this number is destined to be
popular with all who hear it. The
public will recall with what interest
and pleasure they listened to the
"Class Prophecy" of last year. The
"Class VIII" of this year will be
equally as good.
