WELLS ARE NOW THE RAGE
nence That Has Not Been EquaIed in Many Years.

In looking over present modes, notes fashion correspondent, we can sure ly say that the uccidrntals seem to be more important than the key itself. Take vcilS for example. Perhaps you have not been addicted to veils for some time No matter This year you will go out and buy yourself one. Veils are now raging with Il virulence not known for many a day. For morn- ing wear those of the best taste are fine mesh varieties, often with a georgette hem attached with French knot variety. For more elaborate oc- caslOns this accessory becomes more and more skittish.
 Thus we have all sorts and condl- tions of hems for wells. It may bo chenille clover leaves with jet blos- sons, 1t may be ostrich blue embroId- cry, and again, your hem Is apt to be edged with duvetyn matching the duvetyn of the turban. Another pop ular conceit at present Is to border the veil with the same material and color which face the hat brim. So one can take the black veil with hen na or with taupe. There is no end of tlavorings for this accessory.
 Hats. too, are doing much to enliven the dress world. Feather tams are seen occasionally now. So Is the hat trimmed with cock feathers-a pleas ant little souvenir of the gay Italian bersaglieri who, with their flutterlng plumage, marched down tfF avenue during the Liberty loan drive. Many of the smnrtest hats are of black and some of them show little trimming.

OILCLOTH FOR GAME TABLE
Demand and Serving Numerous Good Purposes.

The vogue for using oilcloth, or any one of the new compositions which go under the same name, in place of linen is growing apace. And now comes the most serviCeable game table cover of the OilclOth StenCiled in the corners with appropriate designs. The advan- tage of such cover can easily be ap preCiated when one considers how easy it is to wipe off the cover with a damp cloth after strenuous game. Tapes stitched across the corners tie 1t to the legs of the table.
 And again comes cilcloth In the very place where you might expect to find it-for n tablecloth and bib for the kiddie. This time the sanitary mate rial Is light biscuit color and Is sten- ciled in brown with nursery charac- ters. A band of the brown paint around the edge of bib and tablecloth which Is really only place cloth, large enough to fit the tray of the high chair-is the only finish necessary.

QUARANTINE TO BE STRICT AT
 OCEAN DOCK

At a joint meeting of the city coun- cil and the Council of National De fcnse. held yesterday afternoon. the question of the proper quarantine against the influenza, both at the ocean dock and in Cordova, was thor oughly discussed, and it was the unanimous opinion that every effort should he made to stamp out the pres ent epidemic and to prevent, as far as possible, any further outbreak In order to accomplish the latter 1t was agreed that strict quarantine should be maintained at the dock.
 Inasmuch as the Carlisle Packing Company's buildings will shortly be occupied by their own men, it was suggested that the Castle Inn might be available, and Superintendent Ca leb Corser of the Copper River X Northwestern railroad, who was pres ent, stated that as soon as it was definitely determined just what regu- lations would be put into effect he felt that the Copper River railway would be only too glad to do anything within it's power to assist in the work undertaken. and if suitable arrange ments could be made for the care of their men now housed in the Castle Inn that building would be turned over for use as detention hospital.
 Dr w. w. Council stated that when the epidemic first broke out in Alaska, last October, the surgeon general of the United States army had wired that the period of incubation was five days. Since then. however, the med ical officers at Camp Dodge and Camp Humphrey had advised that fourteen days isolation was necessary at iso- lation hospitals.
 Dr. w. H. Chase thought that he and Dr. Council could formulate a set of quarantine regulations which will be effective. He suggested that all boats be inspected and guards be placed on the dock to prevent contact between the longshoremen and boat crews.
 It was finally decided that the Council of National Defense would communicate with Governor Riggs in reference to securing the funds for maintaining the quarantine, and that in the meantime the city council as- sume and finance the expense; the two local doctors to look after the de- tails of the quarantine, the lifting of the ban to be left to the body then in session.
 In compliance with this program Drs. Council and Chase decided to en- force a ten-day quarantine on the dock

oI all arrivals for here, the expense of same to be borne by the individ- uals until such time as provision had been made by the territory for this payment. No through passengers or members of the boats crews are to be allowed 10 land on the dock or come up town.
 People desiring to leave Cordova may secure a clean bill of health by going into a prescribed detention for period Of ten days, they to pay all expenses.
 No boats will be allowed to land at the city dock unless by special permis- sion from the health officers.
 All incoming passengers will be re. quired to have their temperatures taken twice a day, and the employees on the wharf once q day.
 Crowds are forbidden to Congregate and the police have instructions to enforce this rule. and if necessary to cause the arrest of offenders.
 There are at present ten cases of influenza in Cordova. all of which are in quarantine.

AMONG THE NEW SWEATERS
Sleeveless Garments Made of Ribbon; One With Long Ends Which Tie
 In the Back

Ribbons and laces and feminine graces" have been so continually linked together in verse that one suggests the other to the mind of the average per son and in consequence the new sleeve less sweaters made of ribbon seem the most delightfully."- feminine of all such garments.
 They are by no means as impract- cal as they sound either, and can be recommended both for beauty and for warmth. The very narrow baby ribbon in any shade can be used and with large knitting needles one could easily duplicate the sweaters now on sale in the shops. Most of them are purlcd about the waist and are finished off with bow-knots, but of course they could be made as elaborate or as plain as one desired. The ribbon being so much heavier than the average wool, 1t requires fewer stitches, but as 1t does not stretch as much as wool does one must be careful to allow plenty of leeway to slip 1t on over the head.
 Another new type of sweater that is proving very popular IS the one With long ends which cross in the front and tie in sash at the back. These are newer than the slip-on sweaters, but are a little harder to make They should be very loosely knitted. of course, and the sleeves may be knit ted kimono style or made afterward and set in. As for the sweater itself 1t starts at the waist line in the back, and is knitted like the ordinary sweat CT up to the neck. Then when the stitches are cast off and the shoulder knitted, the fronts are done separate ly, adding on two stitches at every row until the bottom Is reached, anu then narrow sash Is knitted and fas- tened to the end. These are only pretty when they are done in what some people call "in and out" stitch, that Is knit row and purl q row, so that there are no ribs to show, and should be done on very large needles. Needless to say, these are made of one of the new wool substitutes.

FOR STREET WEAR
One-Piece Dress Important Part
 of the Wardrobe.
Tailored Frocks, Not Suits, Predom- mate in Fashion Thoroughfare Dur
 ing Shopping Hour.

The one-pleCe dress for street wear is by far the most important single item of a well-dressed woman's wardrobe. Selecting garments for wear at home whether for morning, after noon or evening, is simple task. Making these garments Is equally sim pie; but woman's reputation for be- ing well or poorly dressed depends upon the selection of her street appar- el. The suit long ago took second place. The fact that many suit manu- lecturers have includcd dress lines in their output during the past few sea sons helps to prove this, If any proof Is needed. A glance at any fashion able thoroughfare is another proof. Fully So per cent of the women seen during any popular shopping or prom rnade hour will be found garbed in tailored frocks, not suits.
