The New Clothes

Separate skirts are more beautiful each season. Some few years ago a satin skirt was a luxury almost un- heard of, while now there are as many rich silk and satin skirts as there are linens or poplins or any of the more plebian materials. The silhouette is the thing this season, and nothing not even allurfng drapery, can change it from from the straight and narrow path. Hence the summer skirts ap- pear with just enough fullness to keep them from being ungraceful. And the cOlors. Exquisite results of do- mestic dyes. All the pale pastel shades that look good enough to eat besides more pronounced coIorings, extremely wearable.
 Crepe de chine skirts are practical as well as good looking, for they may easily be rubbed, coming out of the process fresh as new. Both pIaited and plain models are developed in this material in various shades. In almost all instances the plain models are tucked and trimmed with self covered buttons with satin backs. A pretty pink model has the fullness held in about the feet by means of rows of these self covered buttons A cream cOIored model is tucked and then box plaited and it's wide belt is also tucked.
 Organdie skirts are with us again, only more so. The variety or color ing and designs appear to be endless. A number of the models are tucked and a great many show huge butter fly bow-sashes. One flesh colored model as a border of inserted, hem
 
 above a wide hem.
 Of course the vestee. which has in vaded every garment and made itself a part of every coat and almost every dress, has found a way to become part of the sweater too, and appears in the Tuxedo models in many novel and pleasing ways. For instance, a turquoise blue si1ken coat model folds back with revers at both sides to re- veal a vest of oyster white knitted into place and removable just as is the vest of the new box coats.
 One very pretty boudoir gown of pink chiffon is made with a long waisted blouse girdIed at high waist line. Draped over the shoulders are wide bands of the chiffon, the outer edges of which are outlined with pink silk fringe. The folds of chif- ion are caught at the hip line of the skirt at back and front with a line of small pink roses. About six inches lower the skirt is shirred in and trimmed with a line of the pink roses.
 Another boudoir gown of pale rose chiffon has a wide panel at back and front of chiffon figured in large de- sign trimmed at the side edges with wide silk fringe. The garment is held in loosely at the waist with rose silk cord, finished with tassels.

the early stages and for some time
after the Arnirtice reliance could be
placed upon the generous and willing
help Of the large numbers OF profess

had taken commissions In the army.
But 1t had been decided at the end OF

EDUCATION IN THE BRITISH ARMY

London, May 30.--During the
course of the last few months the
Royal Colonial Institute has arranged
an important series of lectures upon
the educational schemes that have
been adopted during the war in the
forces of the British Dominions. and
papers have been read before the
members of the institute dealing in
turn with the Canadian. the New
Zealand. anr the Australian armies
says the Christian Science Monitor
, on Tuesday, February Is, the series
was closed by an interesting address
from L@rd5 G,orell, * ha ia IN. charge af

been undertaken in the great armies
OF the United Kingdom, both at home
and in many of the theaters Of war.
