EVENING GOWNS OF THE SEASON

ducible minimum. Even the balloon
skirt of the hour, which has created
the sensation of the season. pays
tribute to the narrow line at the
ankles by admitting Il hobble hem as
finish to its extreme fullneSs.
But this new skirt made by Callot
has no intention of permitting mar
rowness to pervade it at any part of
it's long line. VIII it be the skirt to
rule? That is the question asked by
the woman who is trying her best to
be a prophet in fashions and not
waste money. VIII the hobhle band
gradually disappear from the full
skirt, and will the straight line re-
appear?
No one believes that there is to be
a revival of the straight line that hugs
the figure. Shrewd dresSmakers think
that the gathered skirt which does
not go in at the hips or waist and
ence down to the hem. will be one of
the popular skirts for the street as
we'll as for the evening.
This skirt is not new to Paris. The
ca bles from that city have accentuat-
ed the absurdly narrow skirt which
had to be cut off five inches below the
knees in order to let the wearer walk:
and in America the ready tow ear
shops have impressed upon the pubic
the fashion of the sheath skirt. which
is so tight at the ankles that there is
little chance to do more than toddle
like a Japanese. But running through
the narrow skirts in France, although
not in America, there were straight.
full skirts made by such authorities
as LanV.n, Premet, Beer and Callot.

1t much as you would any sort of
wool, rinsing in soapy water.
If your yarn is of color that no
longer appeals to you, or if it was of
inferior dye that has faded in the
light or that comes out in this wash
ing. it is not difficult to dye it after
it is washed following the directions
on the dye that you select for dyeing
any other sore of wool. Be sure to
follow them exactly and you will have
good results.
After it has been dried it should be
wound o into balls again and it is
then ready to use. Most knitters pre-
fer not to have knots in their finished
work and so then the loose knots that
have been made may be united or cut
and the usual sort of splicing made
instead. 1t may be that your old
sweater was worn. Then a good idea

something in your knitting bag for
pick up and the answer is easy. Get
to work and do over one of these
old sweaters. 1t is really not diff
cult. To begin with you should rip
the old sweater apart, carefully wind
ing the wool into balls as you SO and
knotting it rather loosely where you
come to a break in the thread. Break
the thread as little as possible. and
unless you have great deal OF wool
to work with rip it all up. even the
rather difficult and small pieces
When il is all in balls proceed to
put it into skeins. To do this you
should select stiff board of wood
or pasteboard about three quarters of
a yard in length. This is convent
ent size. though it may he more or
less. Now wind the yarn off onto this
board. When you have wound off as
much as forms a good sized Skein tie
it at one end with bit of yarn of
another color and take from the board
and continue to wind another Skein.
The wool is now ready to be washed.
To do this you should use white soap
or soap flakes of some sort and wash

Material Must Be Soft.

Be on your guard about one thing, If
you adopt this peasant skirt with Its
thick gathers and its widely reaching
hem. See to it that the material is
soft and that it clings to the figure.
Do not choose it in thick serge. in
brocade. or in any of the fabrics that
do not fall easily and cling without
effort
The sketch today shows this Callot
gown which aCcentuateS the new skirt
and brings it home to the majority OF
American women 8 IL comfortable and
possible compromise for the summer
The material is satin arranged in
panels embroidered at the edge. 1t is
these panels that are closely gathered
to the broad Waistline, above which
extends a fiat transparent blouse of
chiffon. Over this is a square drapery,
a kind that has persistently appeared
in the fashions for the last six weeks
There is a hole a t the top for the head
to go through, and that's all. The
short sleeves belong to the under
bodice, and this upper drapery is
merely a foundation for brilliant en-
broidery done in shades of tan, with
a. flicker of gold thread to accentuate
the edges.

What interests the average woman

nor looping. nor broken lines. The
frock hangs plumb from shoulder to

the gathers When the woman who

When Miller Blanks Quakers 1t
Marks Ten Straight
Defeats
PLAY CINCINNATI TODAY

Cincinnati, June 1S.-The badly Grip
Gus leader, Jack Coombs, arrived in
the palace Of the Reds this morning to
open four game series with Pat
Moran's fast going band Of athletes.
1t was a sad and crestfallen group
OF Quakers that made their way to
headquarters. Usually it is an honor
to equal records and to break one is a
rare feat. But in this instance there
Is no occasion for joy.
For the tenth consecutive time the
Phillies went down in defeat when Mil
Ter, Of the Pirates. blanked them in
Pittsburgh yesterday by 6 to 0. 1t
has been long time since the Phillies
won ball game-not since they CON
quered the Giants at the Polo Grounds
on June 4.
The western trip has been disastrous.
First they invaded st. Louis and
dropped four games to the Cardinals.
The next found them taking three lac
ings from the Cubs. The boys looked
for better treatment in Pittsburgh, but
Bezdek was not the least considerate
and annexed three more.
Now the boys find themselves in Gin
circuit where they could expect any
mercy. The Reds will offer no quarter
Moran now wants to have the Phil
lies shatter the Dodgerss record ant
make it fourteen straight-that will bt
possible if the Phils drop the four game
series here.

est in the IIoffner Sherwood match tIfan
IL the Gardner Newton setto. Further
more, it was felt that the winner of the
local pair was almost certain to win
the finals Unless the victor in the
lower half of the bracket Is decidedly
off his game he should win from either
Gardner or Newton, judging by past
performances.
The Real Dope
It is old dope that the winner of the
qualifying round never wins the tourna-
mcnt. There have been few cxcep-
tions TO this, but it is good dope just
| the same. At none Of the big tourna E
ments that have been staged this year
has the mccall winner come through the
J final round. and only once in the history
/ of the Lynnowood Hall Cup matches has
! this eyer occurred That was some years
! ago. when Jerome X. TravCrs dropped
| in, took the qualifying round, the finals
and incidentally the third leg on the
trophy.
Yesterday the dope was true TO form.
| Young Dean, who won the medal with
1J1 Monday, was eliminated by Shar-
wood in the second round, putting out a
dangerous man, who is nevertheless
likely to be heard from in any of the
big golf meets in which he enters this
season.
Until Dean was eliminated it ap
pcarcd as though the Lynncwood Hal
Cup might be carried by college
| player in spite of the many veterans
who were found in the entry list, fo
he is not the only collegiate represcn
tativc. Gardner, although otficiall!
from Buffalo, is at Yale. These tw,
players gave the tournament quite Il
youthful flavor. to say nothing Of giving
Philadelphia golfers a good scare by thcil
fine play. Even yet there is chance
for the cup to take college course, fo
Gardner is still very much in the run
ming.
When Gardner defeated Cameron B
Buxton, Huntingdon Valley. in the first
round yesterday morning, the SurprS'
created was almost a shock. According
to Gardner, he was one of tho mos
surprised of any. The Buffalo YAH
man played excellent golf, but the vie
tory was partly due TO overcontidcnc
on the part of the Huntingdon Vale.
Crack. Buxton no doubt believed thn
he could win easily, consequently hi
game was not up to the Buxton stand
ard. The result was that when Gard
n"r was two up with only II few NOR
holes TO go. Buxton woke up to the fac
that he might be beaten. His game i'm
proved, but Gardiner, realizing that h
had chance, and a good one, to win
also raised his game and the two wen
at it tooth and nail. or rather drive
and puttcr. until the eighteenth hol
was reached. Here Buxton lost tn
match one up when Gardner laid him
dead Stymic. Gardner had tried for
twelvefo put. The ball curc,
around the cup n couple of times, thel
rolled ont, directly in the path of Bux
tons ball. So the match ended.

France, expressing his willingness to

partners Immediately upon his discharge
from the service at Camp Sherman.
Scott formerly was sparring mate
of Willard's S. He returned from France
holding the championship honors of the
Sixth Division.
Admirers of Dempsey are surprised
over the weight of the challenger, who
tipped the scales yesterday at POI
pounds, wearing only his trunks and
boxing shoes.
Willard has new sparring partner
in camp who promises to be of valuabl,
assistance. The new addition is DO,

from all angles, and half dozen times
