Combined Effort,

The great artist who paints picture which compels the admiration of the world does not do so with one sweep of the brush in one moment of inspira- tion. The great masterpiece is the product of thousands of strokes of the brush. of inf1nitesimal- bits of pigment put on the canvas layer after layer, each done with consummate art. Every tiny bit of paint, every swift stroke does its tiny part toward what becomes at last a marvel of ages. So must we work, stroke by stroke, bit here and a bit there, until our masterpiece has been completed. ..s

#, Great strides have been made in our country in weaving and coloring mate- rials, since the war has thrown us on our own resources. And among the novelties that demonstrate how suc- cessfully cotton has been turned into lovely dress fabrics, there is the new cotton foulard. It is very light and supple, has a pretty sheen, and is printed in the same smart and striking patterns as silk foulard. Two dresses are shown above. one of silk ,foulard and crepe georgette and the other of cotton foulard. figured and plain, with sleeves of georgette. The cotton dress is in every way match for its silk rival.
 The dress at the left combines geor- gette crepe in a warm tan color, with foulard in the same color. covered with a lacelike pattern in white. Whether the background is printed in on the foulard. or the figured pattern is bleached out, the fern leaf and flower motif that covers the surface is very delicate and beautiful. In the skirt the foulard is set on over the georgette crepe but in the bodice the order Is re- versed. There is a short plain bodice of the silk with an overbodice of crepe. This has sfort kimono sleeves length ened by a broad band of foulard and finished with shaped flounce of crepe.
 In the cotton frock low-necked slip of dark blue foulard serves as foundation for a sleeveless overdress of the figured material in blue and white. The sleeves are of georgette

Hats Not Doing Things by HaIve5.


 Hats are not doing anything by halves this season. If small, they are tres petit. If responsiveness of trim is their ambition, they go the limit in breadth and to emphasize 1t add a flatness in crown and trimming, says the Dry Goods Economist.
 When they are of straw they are the toughest straw, and if they started out to be tailored. the severity of their lines is perfection. At the moment. they wish to simulate perfect purity in all white creations. Wings, breasts, straw, ribbon, fiowers-all are in spot less white, not even dimly shadowed by an unpleasant thought of how long they can remain clean.
