Wars and rumors of wars failed to
divert June brides from their determi-
nation to have as lovely weddings as
ever were staged upon this distracted
but beauty-loving planet. The great
war has hastened many wedding, and
brides have been more than ever In
clined to make themselves and the
wedding cortege something superlative-
" beautiful picture to linger in the
memory Of the groom, even though
Mars snatches him away and fings
him to the other side Of the world.
Here are three hats from a wedding
cortege. They prove that 1t takes
more distractions than we have now to
dampen the enthusiasm Of designers Of
the most beautiful of all headwear. At
the center Of the group there is state
ly hat for the matron Of honor. It is
made Of sand-colored malines and
pale gold lace and there is a mantle
Of the malines flowing from a collar
Of the gold lace. This mantle Is very
full and Is to be worn with frock In
the same color.
: Below and at the left the small hat
made of Val lace over pink crepe
georgette may be worn by either
bridesmaid or flower girl. It has a
short veil of pink tulle and cluster
Of small pink rose buds for trimming.
At the right a hat is shown made of
white malines and lilies of the valley.

Logic, having lodged itself in the
mind Of modern woman, makes it easy
to explain why she finds so many good
reasons for taking to trousers. She
still walks In skirts, but she rides.
swims, hunts, keeps bees, gardens
and farms In bloomers or over
alls or breeches. But there Is no
logic that explains her taking to pa
jamas for sleeping garments or to
replace other negligees, unless it is
that she has discovered them to be
most becoming.
Anyway. the fact stands that in
every representative collection Of lin
gerie pajamas, in two-piece and one
piece styles, have as prominent repre-
sentation as night dresses and negli-
gees. Also there are about as many
garments made Of wash satin, crepe
de chine and other wash silks as there
are Of fine cotton. The heavier cotton
weaves are a thing Of the past in un-
dergarments, excepting petticoats.
Among these must be some that are
heavy to wear under sheer dresses.

Knitted Braid.

The vogue for knitted trimmings,
such as collars and cuffs, pockets and
belts, has gained such headway that
now one comes upon a frock trimmed
with knitted braid. Truly, it is a
bright idea with capital letters. How
easy it will be to make the new TRIM
ming for your jersey dress. You need
not have 1t necessarily of wool. Ell.
ther, though a combination Of wool
and silk is lovely, especially If done
in two colors.
Braids of silk, twine, cotton and
even ribbon can be knit on needles
with the plain knitting stitch or a
variation of purling and knitting to
make fancy patterns. Twine braid for
linen suit will be very good looking
and cheap. too.

Another fascinating suit is shown In

In the spring a young mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts of new suit. Thus Charlie Emerson emerged one Sunday morning when the sun was swelling the buds, and gentle spring wind was playing tunefully in the porch lattices, arr0yed in suit of pale gray with hat to match, gloves of y modish tan, English shoes of most ex pensive leather, and walking stick
 Charlie's thoughts haf. lightly turned to thoughts of Love long before the snow was off the ground, and ths spring regalia was intended to impress the recipient of his affections.
 Louise Jones was the girl he adored, but Louise being pretty and everything girl of nineteen should be had not reciprocated the feeling with the in. tensity that Charlie craved. It is so unsatisfactory to be told that you are a dear nice fellow and that you're liked all to pieces, but that some one hasn't time to be bothered these busy days.

BRITISH AIRMEN DEMONSTRATE HUN
 BEATEN IN AIR

London, Friday, August 23.-British air fighting on the western front dur ing the last week provides a striking indication of the difficulty now con fronting Germany in the air, which must increase in the near future as the growing ir superiority of the al- lies makes itself felt In the battle area, enemy scouts are compelled to operate in large formation at much greater height than formerly.
 Severe air fighting has occurred on the front between Albert and Am iens-Roye road resulting acording to latest reports, in the destruction Of 62 enemy machines, and the driving down of 21 airplanes out of control. Twenty six British machines have ben reported missing.
 This superiority has been attained without any elimination of the aerial activity on other sectors. Attacks on the Rhine provinces have been press ed with utmost vigor.

Kitty Sat Right Beside Him.

superior in the office, at a salary that quite warranted the extra expenditure in offerings at milady's shrine. So n kept Charlie busy trying to put his best foot foremost to keep up with his more substantial rival. The new spring suit was q happy inspiration. It was almost unseasonably early. but eral axioms in his courting, among others that the early bird catches the worm. There should be corollary to this, however, for foolish young lov- CTS, that he also sometimes catches cold. For of course with the sun and to eclipse the radiance of his new wardrobe with an overcoat. Besides Charlie had had to use the scissors on the stopping place of his overcoat sleeves several times of late.
 In church. Charlie gazing reverent. ly, not at the Reverend Mir. Smith In the pulpit, but at the back of Louise's blond head, did not see the admiration in Kitty Parks eyes. Kitty sat right beside him in the pew.
 Kitty Park had always sat beside him in church, and lived next door to him at home. So of course to Charlie she was just Kitty Park. She was taken for granted quite as much as the sycamore tree on the lawn, or the chimney on the roof. She was some- thing that had always been and always would be-a fixture.
 Kitty was very pretty. Up to the time of the Jones' advent to town she had been the acknowledged town beau ty. But being domestic and somewhat shy, she had affected none of the em- bellishments that usually attract the gullible male, as had Louise Jones So the palm had passed from Kitty to Louise without the former knowing that she had ever owned 1t.
 The fact that Roscoe Wright was not at church was both balm and net. ties to Charities soul. Kettles because his new outfit had lost half of its in. tended triumph. balm because he saw an unobstructed opportunity of walk. ing home with Louise.
 The bright colors in the art glass window toward the sun turned sud. denly somber and darkened steadily as a shadow crossed the path of old Sol's rays, followed quickly by another. Then a tiny whistle of wind became barely audible. increasing slowly and steadily. however, until the benediction tested the powers of Mir. Smiths al. ways powerful voice. An icy breath pervaded the church. The janitor had long before slipped in and closed the red and blue transoms.
 Charlie, with chill creeping slowly up and down his spine. tried to look stoically indifferent to the change of ten,perdtdt Eman Of the world, ha argued, always took things as they came. If the weather changed. that was up to the weather. He was all right.
 But Kitty Park noticed with alarm that the line around hts lips was draw.

GET THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE.

Boastfulness has long teen one of the besetting sins of the American people. We have alwav; had q ten dency to think pretty well of our atil- ities as a nation, much of which Was justified but whole lot more of 1t was not. While American troops were playing only a minor part n tho War this trait did not assert itse:.'. We realized that we were cnly students of modern warfare. But now that our men are playing more important part, we find growing tendency to overrate our own abilities and under rate those of our allies. The average man on the street seems to take the stand that the allies have muddled this war up long enough and that now the United States is going to step in and show them how to finish 1t in short order. He condescendingly ad- mits that the French, and maybe tho English, or pretty good-fighters, but
 Militant patriotism is just what we want at this time. But this attituce toward our allies is hardly in keep ing with their splendid attitude to- wards America. Think what it must mean to the Frenchman. with his deli cate sense of the fitness of things, or to the Englishnlsn. with his reserve that forbids him mentioning his own accomplishments.
 It is pretty good idea for us to re- call that 1t is the splendid fighting of the French, British and Belgians that has made our entry into this war possible. Recall that for four years they have been exhausting their own resources in wearing down the flow CT of the German army. Our men have done splendid work, they have covered themselves with glory. But so did the French at the Marne and the British at Mons and Ypres. When We are inclined to brag, about what we are doing. after having four years to prepare, remember how those heroic armies stopped the Hun at the heighth of his power. with no time to prepare.
 All of us will gladly admit that our French allies are wonderful fighters. but there is widespread tendency to underrate the British. Here again it is healthy for us to re- call that German shipping disappear ed from the sea few days after war was declared, and that we have been able to transport millions of men to France solely because of that great salient and unspectacular power, the British navy. It is significant, too, that the two branches of modern war fare which are considered the most dangerous and the ones which demand the highest type of fighting man, are the two that Britain leads all the fighting powers in-the flying corps and the tank corps. In this country men must go thru rigid process of elimination before they can qualify for either of these services.
 Don't let us spoil Americas splen- did record in this war by lack of appreciation of those with whom We are fighting. Don't let us lose any of the good opinion our allies already have of us.
 Let's get the proper perspective be- fore we blow the horn too much.

SeIf-Rcstraint Valuable.
