SPORT TOGS PASSE
Death KneIl Sounded for a Once
0verindulged Fashion.
Question of Proper Footwear Now Alb
sorbing the Attention of Women
Seeking Most Sensible Shoes.

A curious phase of fashion during
the second year OF the war is the
passing of sport clothes, observes q
fashion writer. This does not mean
that they weren't worn in tiresome
profusion at summer resorts. Wher-
ever women gathered from East, West,
North or South, they came with trunks
of sleeveless jackets, colored sweater
coats, separate skirts and the other
paraphernalia that goes with the
beach, the mountain and a motorcar.
But through all these costumes ran
a thread of different dressing, which
was quite noticeable to those who had
seen other summers at American re-
sorts. Few of the women wore white
linen skirts, white shirtwaists or
sweaters. Few wore flat-heeled shoes.
The majority of them made the mis-
take of wearing sleeveless jackets and
separate skirts with pointed pumps
and Louis XIV heels.
That's the kind of thing we do quite
badly over here, and which is a de-
parture from the good sense which
characterized our sport clothes ten
years ago. In fact, the whole shoe
situation in America is SO extremely
bad that one would like to write down
rules and regulations about shoes and
have them enforced by the govern
ment. We used to pride ourselves on
the best shoes in the world, worn in
the most suitable manner and differing
for each occasion. We laughed at the
French for their eccentricitieS.
Today, although we do not seem to
realize it, the majority of women in
the world are looking askance at our
feet. We demand absurd shoes, unless
a uniform demands sensible ones. The
whole condition is topsy-turvy. Wom-
en- stand behind the counter in pumps
that should be worn in a limousine at
fivs o'clock in the afternoon; others
wslk up Main street in shoes that
should be used for a restaurant dinner
at seven o'elock-and thus it goes
through the string of hours. Rarely
except in the evening, is the average
American woman properly shod. She
has lost her Head completely concern
ing her ieet.

By WILLIAM A. RADFoRD

What constitutes good plumbing in
the modern home is question that
comes up to every present-day home
builder or house remodeler. 1t is
ques ;on that can be answered in
numAer of ways, and my purpose here
is n to tell you how you can install
your OWE plumbing in this good look
ing house design and make a sanitary
job of it, but, on the contrary, to give
you such information that you will be
able to see that the plumber gives you
the best job he is capable of for the
amount Of money which you give him
for that purpose, for l do not believe
that any man, however handy he may
be with tools, can do as good a job of
plumbing as a licensed plumber can,
nor should he attempt to do so.
However, there is no doubt that any
one who contemplates installing plumb
ing on his premises can effect an ap-
preciable saving both of patience and
money by learning for himself some
of the fundamental rules about plumb
ing.
With reference to the design illus
trated, we have a floor plan which
meets the needs of American standards
and customs for the modest home. 1t is
only % feet wide, and so will go on a
narrow lot if necessary. There is a
comfortable porch across the front A
gOod-sized living room takes up about
half of the main floor, and wall bed
with wardrobe closets occupies one
end of this room, providing third bed
room. The dining room and kitchen
are well arranged. A stairway to the
second floor, and also the cellar stairs
work in well both for economy and con

venience. On the second floor are two
large bedrooms, bathroom and ample
closet space.
Every Fixture Should Have Trap.
As to the plumbing, perhaps you
have noticed under a sink a piece of
pipe bent to resemble the letter 'S'
laid on it's side. This is what is
known as trap" Every fixture, and
by that is meant the sink, the wash
trays, the bath tub, water closet and
lavatory, should have trap placed di-
rectly below the outlet of the fixture.
This is demanded by all the laws of
health and by practically every city
as a plumbing ordinance. The reason
for this trap is that all of the waste
matter from the fixtures passes
through this trap on the way to the
sewer, and in the bottom of the trap
there is always a small quantity of
water which absorbs the gases and
odors which come from the pipes and
sewers and prevents these gases and
odors from coming back into the
rooms, which would cause headaches,
sickness and other ills. So, primarily,
the first Importance of good plumbing
requires that every fixture shall be
trapped.
Traps are usually vented, that is,
| the crown or top of trap is connect
ed to a small pipe, which runs to the
outside air. This is done so that when
ever a large quantity of water or
waste matter is discharged through a
trap, or if another fixture nearby is
suddenly emptied, the suction caused
in the pipes by the sudden rush of wa
ter prevents the trap from siphOning
or running dry, in which case there
would be no prevention from the gases
| passing back from another trap into
the house. However, there are traps
which can be purchased which do not
require the extra expense of back-vent-
ing with an air line. These traps are
called non-siphon or anti-siphOn traps,
and are built in such way that it is
impossible for them to be entirely emp
tied of water, but the expense of in
stallation is almost the same in either
case.
Traps Should Be Cleaned.
The second important item is to see
that every trap has clean-out that is
accessible, and that they are used
For if every trap was cleaned out peri
odically by the user, there would be
considerably less plumbing bills to pay
for any plumber will tell you that
stuffed-up trap or one that is un
cleaned is the seat of so per cent OF
the plumbing troubles in every house
but no one seems to take the trouble
of cleaning their traps, because it is
an unpleasant job and will, instead
wait until the traps are stopped up
then call for the plumber and wonder
why the bills are large, when they arr
caused by their own negligence.

HAS FLAVOR OF OLD SOUTH
Sea-Island Region of the Carolina
Coast Still Reminiscent of Ante
Bellum Days.

The part of the South which is gen.
orally considered to retain most per
fectly the famous antebellum atmos-
phere is the sea-island region of the
Carolina coasts. 1t consists of about
$50 low, sandy islands, warmed in win
ter by the Gulf stream and cooled in
summer by Atlantic breezes. Here in
the old days great fortunes were made
raising long staple sea-island cotton.
and here the planter aristocracy of the
old South attained its finest flower
Beaufort is the leading city of the
region, and is located on Port Royal
island, which is connected with the
mainland by a railroad. Beaufort re-
mains a picture of the old South, for
| its water front is still lined with res
licences of that period, built of "tab-
BY" mixture of oyster shell and ce-
ment, their gardens filed with the col
or and fragrance of orange and mag
nolia
The island region itself has changed
little, although the old plantations are
not the busy places that they were,
and rich northerners, who have bought
up the lands as winter homes and
hunting preserves, have to some extent
replaced the old southern stock. AS
a sporting region, this is unexcelled.
| for deer and wild turkey and all small
er game still abound In the wilder
swamps.
There are many old people about
Beaufort and Charleston who can tell
you the tales of the old days, a bit
fwistfully, when the planters lived in
state on their island domains, and
journeyed to town in great galleylike
canoes, rowed by singing darkies.-

MUST HAVE DAINTY NECKvVEAR
MoGesty Vests of Net With Insertions
of Fiiet and Various Styles of
Guimpes Are Favored.

Little mOdesty vests of net with in
Gertions of filet are sold separately.
These little vests are worn with silk
dresses. They freshen the fronts of
these frocks, thus making it unneces-
sary to buy collars and cuffs. Some
of these have the vertical rows of
little vaienciennes friliings that are so
pretty.
Many high-neck guimpes are made of
georgette, some plainly tailored with
merely fine tuckings and others
trimmed by tiny insertions of filet.
These guimpes fasten at the back and
are in many instances trimmed by fine
drawnwork. This drawnwork is at
tractively used on organdie collar, vest
and cuff sets-just the plain material
with the drawnwork as the only trim
ming
Guimpes with round necks are ex-
ceedingly popular, it seems, made of
net, organdie or georgette. These
are embroidered in the daintiest OF
ways with little flower sprays and
much of the eyelet embroidery.

There are comic opera hats, but they
do not play the medy role on a wom-

They need a veil, and good-looking
one at that, for wells are back in fash

There are women who always wear

avoid both whenever fashion allows
the slightest loophole of escape. Even
the French forsook wells for four or
five years; but as the weather last
winter demanded that they use every
means of protection to their flesh and
blood, wells came back as q part of
costumery. They at once became orna-
