BLoUSES IN WIDE VARIETY
Wash Fabrics Figure Prominently
Among Materials EmpIoyed-Pend-
ant Decorations Highly Favored.

The shops are really aIluring in their
display Of warehouses in fabrics and
STYLES suitable for summer wear. II
is perhaps an interesting thing that
wash fabrics have been made to serve
so admirably for these blouses-for
there was q time when 1t seemed that
only chiffon and georgette and soft
crepe would do for them.
But now linen, Organdie. batiste. ra-
tfne-lots Of ratIne, too. which is an
other Of those interesting evidences
of a return to favor Of fabric or style
that has seemingly gone by-all these
and other summer fabrics, heavy,
homesDun, crashlike-looking things, are
used for the OverblOuse.
One thing that marks many OF the
blouses Is little tasseis and hanging
buttons and fringe. There are all sorts
Of these pendant decorations from
sleeve ends and hens and just hang
ing down from any other part Of the

IN SPORTS SUITS
Splendid Assortment for Woman
Fond of Athletics.
Pastlme Apparel Very Much English In
Cut and Fabrie-KnItted Suit May
Almost Be Called In
dispensabIe.

1t is established that onr most de-
lghtful fashions come from Paris. and
II is becoming equally well established
that our sport apparel is English in cut
and fabric. We come to speak of the
English walking hat. meaning the rath-
er clOse-fitting hat with tall crown
curling up at the sides. English tweeds
and hannels are a part of every sports
woman's vernacular, as suits Of these
materials are of her wardrobe. We
diferentiate between the onlOOkers and
the real adherents, and recognize the
rights Of the latter to be as plainly and
unbecomingly dressed as the most rig
OrOus exercise demands.
During the last year Of the war the
knitted sport suits made by hand APP
neared, first in Switzerland at st. Nor
itz and such places where winter sports
abound. They were instantly accept
ed and were a boon TO French and
Swiss makers also, who could thus en-
ploy remuneratively their long winter
evenings heretofore given over to lace
making or the fine emhroideries, the
demand for which was interrupted by
war. Now the knitted suit is indis-
pensable. The great vogue over here
for tricOlette and jersey cloth has fur
ther stimulated this demand.
The wool jerseys are ideal. for they
do not rumble or crush and come in
such splendid cOlOrs that every taste
nav be gratified. Hunters green Is
favored color for some reason-it al
ways looks well and does not always
fade as do other brilliant and decided
shades. Nothing Is more picturesque
than the fashion Of topping white
skirts with jersey coats Of the most
brilliant tones acknowledgement, yell
low, and scarlet seemingly preferred.
Undeniably they make gay color
splotches on the landscape and add to
the summer picture.
Less serviceable than the wool jer-
seys are coats Of fine faille and silk
pOplin. They are as delicate and re-
fined as the most conservative woman
could ask, and come In such pretty, soft
colOrs as French blue and pale rose.
The coat usually has rather wide
sleeves which open over the blouse
sleeve underneath and are not too
tight. Deep revers cut away In front
as a mans dinner coat rolls back at the
sides and now and then one finds a
sash finely fringed and betting in the
waist-New York Sun.

Some Effective Hand Touches
for Headgear.
Any Number Of Simple Designs May

II it's the old straw hat that is look
ing pretty much the worse for wear,

Usually the hat that begins to look
seedy so early in the race is a light

as the background Is cOncerned-or
treat II to any kind Of hat dyes on

effective when it's first Of all a black
hat, as witness the stunning examples
in the millinery shops. So you will
do well to let the new coat be black
one, or at least a deep blue or purple.
One appreciable thing about this fad
for trimming a bit of headgear with
of colOrs is the effectiveness Of big.
simple, rather splashy designs as com
pared with the inSlCnificance Of more
tedious decoration. particularly If the

choices. They may be placed pre-

PRETTY THINGS IN FOULARD
Partisan Dressmakers Are Turning Out
Acreations" That Are Much More
Than Ordinarily Attractive

An excellent piece Of advice for the
summer is: "When in doubt, choose
foulard." FOulard has again come
into it's own kingdom; never has this
delightful silk been more lovely, never
has it been produced in more delicate
and original cOlOringS- The Paris
dreSsmakers are doing rather wonder
full things with spotted fOulards. They
are using the spots as a groundwork
for silk or wool embrOideries and pro-
ducing really amazing results by sim
pie means. For example, a little
chemise dress Of black fOulard was
dotted over with large white rings.
At the hem, for depth Of twelve
inches, these rings were worked over
on the outside with JapOnica pink silk
and cOvered-that is TO say, the inner
round-with a miniature lattice Of sill
yer threads. The same embroidery
was applied to the front and back OF
the bodice and the sash was made Of
japOnica pink satin ribbon with black
and white taSSels- Ii was charming,
this little dress. and so simple; any
one could achieve it. Rings or stripes
may be decorated in this way with COL
ored silks and metallic threads. IrTeg-
ular designs, too, can be outlined or
filled In.

adopted by the league Of nations commits
sion, in Paris, on March Is. 1t afirms the
right OF any country in the league to control
matters solely within domestic jurisdiction.
This amendment, it would seem. afirms
the right Of the United States to exclude
japanese and Chinese, as is done at present.
Japan has been pressing the peace confer
ence to incorporate in the peace league cove
nant prohibition of racial discrimination,
but, on March u, the announcement was
made, from Paris, that the amendment had
not been included in the covenant as sent to
the drafting committee. It was stated, how
ever, that it might be offered later at p1en-
airy session of the peace conference or be-
fore the council of ten.
There has been much speculation as TO
Japan's chief reason for pressing the racial
discrimination amendment. It has been sue-
gested that it was aimed not so much at the
immigration question as the ownership Of
land question. japanese officials do not con-
ceal their dissatisfaction with the results of
the controversy over the California anti
japanese land ownership law.

then invited him to the Zion picnic in Shiloh
Park. He gladly accepted, taking lunch at
the noon hour with his newly found friends
and joining heartily during the day in the
various games.
Soon after, he sent for his wife, who lived
in Michigan, and they rented rooms in Zion.
Both the young man and his wife were
church members, and he had never INDUCED
in drinking, smoking or profanity. Through
the kindly interest of Zion people, they
gradually became intensely interested in the
Zion literature and attended services reg
ularly in Shiloh Tabernacle. Recently, both
received the Right Hand of Fellowship as
members of the Christian Catholic Apostolic
Church in Zion.
This is related merely to show the result
of few kind words spoken to a young man
away from home and friends.
