New Dinner
Gowns
By Rita Stuyvesant.

NVTARM weather gowns for din
W ner are being shown in all
w their rich splendor, and the
matron will have wide selection
to choose from this season. Satins
and laces, fine net. lowered georg-
cite, sole taffeta and chiffon are all
represented at the tables of the
smart set and on the fashionable
roof gardens where the summer
tourist enjoys dinner. One can
can strongly feel the foreign in
fuence that has invaded women's
apparel, especially evening gowns,
with their subtle Oriental beauty.
Ostrich plumes are being revived,
but this time one wears them on
her gown and not on her hat. A
Premet model was recently worn at
a dinner party and was indeed beau
tiful. It was of black satin COM
bined with sparkling jet and orna-
mented with fluffy ostrich tips.
There was a foundation frock of
the black satin, nun-like in its SIM
plicity.
Over this was a net tunic, open
in the front and embroidered in Jet
beads and Upper with ostrich here
and there. The bodice was mere
wisp of black satin. bound snugly
about the figure and draped over
the shoulders with net. Instead of
a corsage BOUQUET there was an os-
trich plume thrust into the belt at
the bold angle of a cavaliers sword.
Coral pink taffeta and ecru tulle
combined their charms into another
inspiring creation for dinner~wear.
The skirt was so cleverly draped
that il in no way destroyed the slim
silhouette, for it was lifted to form
q puff on the right hip and held in
place by a bunch OF flowers. The
left side fell into a graceful loop
and narrowed delightfully."- at the
bottom.
Bands OF draped tulle in an ecru
shade over flesh satin formed the
alluring little bodice, while there
was a diagonal band OF velvet in a
deep coral tone that crossed the
figure to the left side. Transparent
sleeves of the tulle yelled the arms.
Turquoise blue brocaded in silver
created a very distinctive gown for
a LADY of Titan locks"
1t was semi-fitted princess
model. draped 10 form a cascade at
the left side. The top of the bodice
reached to a point. near the left
under arm. and was filled in with a
tight-ftting foundation OF silver
tissue. A deep red poinsettia was
caught at the skirt drapery and was
the only trimming save a few
strands OF pearl beads that held the
gown in place over the shoulders.
Among the lowered georgettes so
popular this summer is a smart
gown for informal dinner wear,
combining figured material with
plain taupe crepe. There was an
under blouse and skirt of the taupe
with tunic and jumper of the figured
material. The only ornament was
a string OF great wooden beads in
a peculiar shade of blue that gave
quite a distinctive air to this lovely
gown.

When You Go
Mentioning

HE object of going on a vaca-
ton is generally to restore or
build up ones health, but oc-
casionally it happens that illness is
contracted while away. How this
comes about. and how it may be
avoided. it may profit us to study
for a moment.
Probably most cases OF typhoid
fever are contracted in August. A
person goes away in that month,
seems to be benefited by his outing,
and returns home in September.
Soon after his return he begins to
feel tired and chilly. loses his appe-
lite, has some headache and back
ache, coughs a little, and perhaps
has a nosehleed. Then a fever be-
gins. which rises a little more every
day. and it becomes more and more
evident that typhoid has claimed
another victim.
Now what has happened TO bring
this about? The answer is that
there was something the matter
with the sanitation of the Summer
To. he specific. there was probably
something the matter with the
water supply. 1t had become con-
taminated by sewage. The patient
may have drunk this water, or milk
from cans washed with Il.
One typhoid patient in a country
district may be the cause of infect
ing scores of persons, the infection
being carried either by the water
supply in the manner described. or
by dies which carry infected filth
10 food, or by persons who have
had typhoid fever and who are still
throwing off the germs while work
ing as food handlers (the so-called
"Carriers."D
Aside from typhoid fever CON
tamination OF water by sewage
leads To the setting up OF various
types of acute intestinal disorder.
Shiftless methods Of handling
milk lead 10 illness unless the milk
is pasteurized.
Shiftless methods of handling
garbage and purifying material
swell the sick rate at some of our
health resorts" Such water must
be promptly disposed of and at all
times so kept as to exclude flies.
Don't take a chance on a summer
resort where the general sanitary
conditions are not good. You don't
have to be an expert to know when
things are not reasonably clean.

NO, I'd like to see that il you

continued. still in the same mood
for revealing what ! dared, and so
avoiding dangerous topics.
''We'H sit down and have our

ing" said Virginia. I'm glad 1
thought Of a smatinee. 1t won't
do for you to get rusty on the
theater-every one you meet will
be talking about the latest sue
cesses. We must go to a matinee
at least once week "
I'D love to be with u, Jeanie,

1t seems so nice and 'girly.' But

Anne, have You any idea what
you can afford?" asked Virginia in
tently.

lust a minute said Virginia.
Here comes Amanda. Well,
Amanda?"
Two good seats in the fourth
row-three dollars apiece, Mrs. Dial
ton" reported Amanda, as calmly as
il six dollars for matinee seats were
part Of her regular scheme of
things.
Fine" replied Virginia. Now
serve the salad with the iIet. and
ihen order a taxi for ten-after-two."
Nirginia's serene extravaganza
rather startled me, and yet I found
myself enjoying the atmosphere Of
luxury and well-being with which
she was surrounding US both. Sud
denly she leaned across the table
and renewed her attack:
Anne, is that the same little blue
serge dress you wore the first time
you came to the Rochambeau to call
for Phoebe and me?"
1t is" I replied. a bit uneasily.
Does it look shabby"
No, but I think you might have
newer, smarter one. Don't be
hurt, dear. You look charming.
But that was a BondIy suit Jim
wore down to Betty's wedding.
Bondly doesn't turn out a thing
under seyenty-five dollars.
Do you see the point?"
Sauce for the goose?" / replied,
trying to laugh fippantIy.
Not exactly" Virginia shook her
head. But men like their wives to
look smart and to be in touch with
things. Other women are-why not
their wives? Jim's naturally gen.
erous-don't let him change, and
don't spend your whole allowance
on the house and goodies for your
table"
Then with an ugly shock the
realization came to me that l hadn't
an allowance. Once in the long-ago
days OF poverty Jim had given me
the full amount Of his monthly
check from Haldane's-all his as
sured income. But since then he
had never offered me a regular sum.
In my unwillingness to ask for
money and to introduce the com
mercial aspect" into our marriage,
] had accepted without question
just what he chose to give me.
As wife and sweetheart, I had
trusted Jim's generosity.
As partner and pal, could 1 ask
for. my regular share in our new

Then l rushed across the room
and pulled open the door that had
just closed after Jim. The hall was
empty. And, in sudden reaction, 1
wondered what Iscould have done
If Jim had been there. Trembling
and weak, sank down on the couch
and gave way to the tears of utter
weakness.

at last, 'you have always wanted

Anne. Virginia understands Jim,
and she is pretty shrewd. Have

I didn't. So I had to brace up.
And there was an added motive
now to make me long to win Vir-
ginia's confidence and friendship.
I might be afraid of having her
discover how things were between
Jim and me, but. on the other hand,
Jim adored his Jeanne and by some
twiEt of fate she might be the
means. of righting things between
US again.
So, with an eye to Virginia's
critical glance. 1 tried to make my
self very fine for our luncheon and
afternoon together. But I had no
clothes in which to make myself
fine. When I married I had the
simple wardrobe OF the average girl
who earns her own modest living,
bought a thing.
I spent so much time trying to
get a good effect from my simple
old blue serge and a vest and cuffs
borrowed from a half-grown blouse

three cars in order to make the

"Phoebe's out-as usual. Now let's

be in time for a matinee. Or don't
you want to go?"
