For afternoon wear there are the
printed foulards in a very light, soft
weave, that are made up with plain
gcorgette crepe. or with organdie in!
accessories. Organize collars and
collars and cuffs or neck frills are
lovely on them. Very fine tucks and
fine, narrow Val lace edging reveal
their perennial beauty and popularity
in these accessories. Velvet and other
ribbon girdlcs finish the engaging
story of these froCks.

PUT HEALTH MEASURE FIRST
Value Of Proper Civic Conditions Can
not Be Estimated in Dollars
and Cents.

The cost of public playground parks
and similar recreational features for
/ the benefit of all our people drops into
insignificance when compared with
| the priceless value of safeguarding the
health of our men. women and chill
! dren, and the knowledge that we are
doing our full duty in creating cOndi-
tons which will increase happiness,
elevate morals and produce better citi-
Zens. The physique of people in cities
is 'deteriorating, and the only way it
can be safeguarled and made more
efficient is through proper provision
of light and air, which are hygienically
basic, and healthful amusement, fun
and recreation, which are the greatest
lubricants for physical welfare and the
greatest protection for moral health.
The ideal of a city, however, must
rise above mere commercial and in
dustrial supremacy, taking the higher
ground of becoming an attractive,
composite home for its residents, both
of large and small means, as well as
for the stranger within its gates.
While the weather. class of citizens
in any community can build up beau
tiful residence sections on well-laid-
out avenues and bOulevards, what will
become of those who have neither or
ganization nor money to aid them in
intelligently planning the most meager
comforts of ordinary home surround
