DRESS SHIELDS NOT NOTION
An Accessory that is Entirely Indis,
pensabIe to the Neat and
Careful Dresser.

It doesn't make any difference how
fashionably one is gOWned nor how
expensive are ones clothes if there is
the slightest suggestion of careless
ness in the care Of the clothes.
, Dust in the folds or pleatings will
ruin the appearance of the most ultra
smart frOck.
Stains of any character-a slight
splashing on the street crossing, the
trace of powder at the neck of the
gown, the unsightly evidence of per-
spiratiOn-are all things that are I'M
necessary if one uses the ordinary
precautions in obviating them.
This year we find the extremes in
sleeves. Paris has abbreviated
sleeves for every gown apparently that
is to be worn in the house, but among
the multitudinOus models for street
and all the occasions taking one out
of the home we find the long close
sleeves featured very extensively. With
such frOcks or suits or blOuseS there
is only one sure road to constant
freshness and stainless beauty, and
that is by way Of the well selected,
welI-adjusted dress shield.
It has a very nice significance-the
shield: it means to ward of, to de-
fend, to protect.

charge of a hospital boat that con-

was with her on that boat. "There
was really nothing for us surgeons to
do but dress wounds and administer
medicines. She drew out clean shirts

ever they were needed. Nourishment
was ready for every man as soon as
he was brought on board. Every one
was sponged from blood and frozen

PARIS GOWNS GROW BUNCHY
Sash Is an important Adjunct to Some
Garments-Wrist Length Gloves
Again in Evidence.

The imported gowns from that dear
Paris are not pretty as to line and de-
sign-not even the most enthusiastic
admirer of French creations can en-.
thuse over the very short skirts and
sleeves and the rather bunchy look
most of them seem to have-but they
are decidedly interesting and, more
than that, even they are different from
anything we see hereabOut, observes
a writer in New York Sun.
Now, for instance, comes a white
silk Jersey evening gown, and from
Doucet. 1t is a charming thing, with
long lines SO very graceful that it is
distinctly novel.
The sash is an important thing on
every gown, as it appears in many un-
usual and interesting arrangements,
sometimes placed high up under the
arms and crossed in the front and
again in the back, where it loops be-
tween the shoulder blades and then
falls the length Of the entire frock.
In this instance the sash is not more
than four inches wide and appears on
Lige satin frOck made with the SIM
plicity of a little girls school dress,
falling long and straight from the
shoulders, with only the little crossed
sashes at the bust and in the back to
hold in the fullness. The sleeves are
very short, just the length we would
call awkward, as they stop far short
of the elbow.
By curious freak Of fancy it seems
that Partisan women wear the short,
wrist-length glove, just as people used
to do before the days of 1860, which
sets us wondering If we shall see the
old-fashioned lace frills appearing
again at the tops of gloves or shall the
thin meshed mitts return?
At any rate, if q French frock among
the new arrivals shows sleeves at all
1T is this curious half-length-of course
it remains to be seen whether our max
ers will adopt these funny sleeves.
Americans have as much cleverness In
adapting these fashions as the French
display in creating them, and for this
reason the French things always look
well on our women.

CHOICE OF FROCKS
Wide Variety From Which MiIady
May Make Selection.
Suggesting Tanagra Silhouette
Of Pre-War Days.

The several new silhouettes which
their appearances in the shops. The
many interpretations given them al
low one a wide choice in the selec-
ton of frocks, suits and wraps. Per-
haps the most interesting frocks are
those which suggest the Tanagra sill
houette of pre-war days, says Vogue.
The fiat back and the concentrating
of the fullness of the skirt at the front
give a very pleasing line when worked
out In the correct materials and col
.OrS.
In tricOlette frOck the pliability
of the fabric is brought out to the
best advantage in this manner. The
skirt falls in soft folds from under
the bib-like front of the blouse and is
cut so that 1t narrOws away at the
feet under the back panel. This frock
is charming, either in a new shade of
brown, called maduro, a shade which
is very dark although little lighter
than tete de negre, or in a dull light
gray, called walnut, or in black. The
embroidery on the blouse and on the
back OF the skirt is done in self color
heavy silk in a simple stitch. The
neck-like is rounded In front and is
finished with a fiat collar made of q
straight fold of the material.
The same effect of fairness at the
back is gained in a blue serge frOck
by continuing the center breadth of
the blouse into separate panel which
turns under the hem of the skirt. The
rest of the blouse is cut on the lines
of jacket opening over satin vest.
Many of the new topcoats of this
season show the tendency to the mar
rowing silhouette that one sees in
frocks. Beige tricotine is used for
three-quarters length coat which is
lined with blue and tan pussy-willow
silk. The coat hangs quite smoothly
from a small yoke over the shoulders
to the wide band which finishes it by
buttoning across the front. The bone
buttons are of beige color.
The softly tailored lines Of a light
tan Poiret twill suit suggest the Rus
sian blouse. The pepIum of the Jacket
Is plated in three sections with
straight sidepieces, which have three
small slot pockets. The collar rolls
back i'm a most becoming fashion to
the waistline. The belt is of duh soft
leather in narrow stripes of beige and
red. This suit also comes in navy
blue with blue and red belt.

NOT QUITE TO HIS TASTE
Hunter Liked Bear, All Right, but
That Particular One Was Not
Done Enough.

Blenkins once joined a bear-hunting
expedition. During the hunt, as he
was resting by the side of a rock
and talking with another hunter he
began swanking heavily.
IF there's anything I dote on it's
bear. A slice Of bear steak nicely
done is just perfect I" he said.
'Well," said his companion look
ing up, "Tm hanged If there isn't
bear now!" -s L..
The man who dotted on bear
looked up, saw an immense grizzly
on the top of the rock, gave a yell
and leaped into the woods and dis
appeared. His companion soon over
took him and said to the fugitive as
he came up:
81 thought you liked lbearr"
"Well, I do" said the runaway;
"bdt that one wasn't done enough"

See Only the Glorious Future.

Like all observances of enduring
worth. Memorial day must take on
new significance with the passing
years. 1t no longer stands for the
"bloody chasm." That, happily, is a
thing of the past. The ugly wounds
of the Civil war have long since healed
over, and their scars even have all
but disappeared. Though some of the
survivors of that day may still feed
upon ancient rancors, their children
at least have turned away from bitter
memories and. forgetting the issues
of u day long past, have set their
faces toward the future with high
hope.

EARNED LOVE OF
ALL HER boys"
Mother BiCkerdyke Real Angel of
Mercy to the Wounded Soldiers
of the Armies of Both the North
and South.

wv YOULD you like to hear more
AAk about Mother Bickerdyke,
WV now that you know she was
''the soldiers friend" during
the Civil war? THAT homely figure,
clad in calico, wrapped in a shawl,
and surmounted with Shaker bon
net" was beloved by the whole Union
army. The soldiers saluted Mother
Bickerdyke as she passed by, and she
was especially honored and respected
by General Sherman, who, In return,
was her ideal of all that a man and
soldier should be. Here are some
stories told by those who knew her:
At Chattanooga Mother Bickerdyke
had a field hospital where, over huge
log fires in the open air, with the
help of convalescent soldiers, she made
great kettles of soup. tea, coffee aud
cruel, and cooked beef and mutton,
and baked bread. Often the flying
sparks set her dress afire, and the
soldiers who were helping her would
run ito put her out" as she laughingly
expressed, it. 'TThe boys were all the
time putting me out" she said. land
dozen of 'em were grabbing me
whenever / was cooking by the log
fires, for the fire would snap and my
clothes would catch" Now, 1t hap
pened that Mother Bickerdyke, clad
in spark-burnt garments-all that she
had-visited Chicago to procure sup
plies for her boys" The ladies of
the sanitary commission, seeing the
condition that she was in, presented
her with a box of clothes for her own
use. But they did not know Mother
Bickerdyke! Did she keep those
clothes, when her 'boys" were starry
ing?
No! AS soon as she reached the
South she traded those good garments
for eggs, milk, honey, fruit and but
ter. But not quite all the garments,
for among them were two night
dresses, very elegant, and embroid-
cred and belaced and befrilled. These
she kept for herself, as they had been
sent to her by friends. But as she
was returning with her load of good
things to eat, she came to shanty
in which were two soldiers just re-
leased from a hospital. Their wounds
were open and undreSsed. They were
starving, weak, and completely dis
couraged, and their shirts were dirty
and ragged. Mother Bickerdyke i'm
mediately washed their wounds and,
tearing off the hens of those pre-
cious nightgowns, dressed and ban
daged the wounds. But the mems
shirts were too torn and full of ver-
min to put ON again. Here. boys"
she said, put on the upper parts of
these nightgowns. They're just the
thing My sakes! but this is lucky -
The boys, naturally. protested loudly
against having to meet their north
ern friends in ruffles and lace, but
Mother Bickerdyke would not listen
to them. AS they were weak from
sickness and hunger they had to sur
render, and were soon meekly arrayed
in embroidered lawn, above which
their unshaven, faces grinned sheep
ishIy. But on reaching the North they
refused to part with the nightdresseS.
And but a few years since one of the
garments. marked with Mother BECKER
dykes name, was kept by Wiscon-

Millinery Novelties.

The current season in the millinery
HeIc is more than ordinarily productive
of novelties. Among the new things Of
fered are hats of wood fiber straw.
This straw is about two inches wide
and can be braided or arranged in
loops. The same material is seen
glazed. and in this form is called
chicklet straw. Among the newest
trimmings are large, fiat flowers made
OF dotted chiffon in all the pastel
shades. They are said to be especially
adaptable for use on dress hats.
Grapes, raisins and little rOsebuds
made of soft taffeta are also being
used for decorations, as are flowers
