ALL DRESS FOR
 THE WARM DAYS
Apparel for Evening Gowns to Lingerie and Shocks in
 Comfortable Fabrics.
WRAPS SHINE LIKE RAINBOWS
Outer Garments Are of Silver and Gold Tissues and Collars Are of Fur .. French Adopt Ameri-
 can Ideas.

The barbaric glitter of tinsel ap- pears in many of this summers eve ming gowns. One of these is made Of checked silver cloth with squares in Gull lead color contrasting with alter nate ones that are in tones of bright furnished silver. So elaborate is this material in itself, observes a leading fashion correspondent, that it needs little trimming. Almost no bodice ap- pears in this gown. There is a bit of front drapery and slender shoulder straps are hung with silver paillettes. In the back it is decollete to the belt.
 Sinuously slender, the skirt dips to one of the pointed and abbreviated trains that are so frequently seen this season. Silver cloth shimmering through jade green tulle also makes an effective evening dress.
 Young girls are wearing evening frocks of white, unrelieved by any color. Not the fluffy, frilly type of white dress such as the girl graduate chooses are these, but made of silk in the severest way possible, they de- pend entirely on their classic lines for great distinction.
 Wraps That Gleam Like Rainbow.
 Callot makes evening coats of silver and gold tissues and collars them with costly furs. Vying with these are eve ming wraps of silk resembling the rain- bow in the brilliancy of their colorings and embroidered with gold and silver threads. The Things are even more brilliant. Large fur collars appear on all the summer evening wraps.
 Lace,which will be much used for mid- summer dinner dresses, is a welcome departure from the metallic cloths and wintry fabrics that we are using. To dine at roof garden or other public place on a hot summer night nothing could be more suitable or comfortable than frock of sheer black lace topped by a picturesque hat. These dresses should be plain and distinctive in their design, instead of the fussy, flmy ere ations that fashion has given us in past seasons.
 Wired Frocks Seem Like Cages.
 Lace lends itself we'll to the new fiaring silhouette. I saw a frOck of white georgette crepe that had a full black lace tunfc gathered at the bot tom to white crepe foundation skirt

DAY OF MARROW
 AND WIDE SKIRT
Present Fashion Predicted as a Forerunner of More Con-
 fortabIe Styles
TAFFETA IS FAVORED FABRIC
Because of Stiffness of Material ii Aids in Accomplishing the Desired Bouffancy-Brown for
 Summer Clothes.

Those who study styles closely look upon the full overskirt gathered in at the bottom as a forerunner of wide | skirts, writes a New York fashion cor respondent. The silhouette has fol lowed the straight and narrow way so long that unless there is a change fashions will become stagnant and there will not be sufficient stimulation to the art and industry of evolving new clothes to keep it at its best. Nor will we enjoy the exhilaration that comes from the wearing of something entirely new. The narrow silhouette, as we'll as the wide, appears in collec- tions created by the same designers, and this is bound to fill us with uncer- tainty in ordering our costumes.
 At the house of Callot in Paris are shown dresses of the f1aring Camargo silhouette, their straight bell skirts fairly bristling with frills cut so that they stand out almost stiff1y, and in juxtaposition to these there are Cal lot gowns so slender in their lines that Grecian draperies are wide compared to them. Many women order both types of frocks, but she who looks into the future and buys her clothes to predate a fashion will give consid- eration to the wider skirt.
 Narrow and Wide at Same Time.
 The new skirts puff out halfway between the knee and the ankle. There are several ways of creating this ef- feet, which looks as though accom- plished by means of crinoline or a cage. One is by clever manipulation of drapery; other times the bottom of the tunic is shfrred to a heavy cord. There is always a tunic or overskirt cut to flare at the bottom, where it is brought in to tight, straight founda- tion skirt, for fashion still insists that skirts must be narrow at the ankle, and no matter how voluminous they are above, they must decrease to a mere band at the hem.
 Taffeta is favoritei material for these. gowns, because the stiffness of the silk aids greatly in accomplishing the desired bouffancy. One black taf feta frock is corded in an unusual way. The cords take the form of half hoops, beginning at the bottom of the skirt and curving upward toward the waist. This silhouette aims to give an effect of extreme f1atness both in the back and front and a puffiness at the sides.
 In the skirt just described the front is flat solid cording, with the taffeta setting out stiff1y at either side. The flat appearance in the back is empha- sized through the skirt being drawn toward the front by means of the shir- rings. The skirt is considerably longer in the back than in the front.
 On one of the most striking costumes showing the new silhouette the tight underskirt has two large wheels

T Heard Some Men Talking"

young men mean two young men, they don't mean an old man. You might think, creatures, that one young man and another young man added together would make one old man, but it doesn't, no it doesn't. Young men don't go together like that
 "'How wisely he talks. said the barnyard creatures. So, as they liked whatever he said, and as they thought he was so fine Sir David thought so too and went on saying the most ridiculous things as though they were splendid and never became any smart CT because no one ever said,
 '.sIt's jolly to hear what you have to say, but it's not so very clever
 "'Well,' continued Sir David, these two young men told of duck they had seen like me. It had been make believe duck, one made out of board or wood or some such thing and it was supposed to be wild duck.
 ".Of course they knew wasn't a wild duck and they knew they mustn't harm me- But for moment l felt a little bit worried until saw that they thought it was funny that this make-beIieve duck hadn't been better made, and that they knew while we might look alike, that I was tame duck and that no one could harm me.
 "eBut the point of my story is that this make-believe duck was in sport ing shop where it was sitting on the end of a canoe and that this sporting shop was advertising to sell guns and things to catch ducks who would come and sit on the end of canoes.
 "sThe foolish thing to my mind was that people could get up such silly things and could believe that ducks ever would come and sit on the end of a canoe where there was man and a gun and would say,
 "'Pray shoot me, good people.
 "These two young men merely thought it was funny that looked so much like the make-believe duck, but I though to myself,
 "aThere are some creatures who don't understand our cousins, the wild ducks, if they think they sit around on canoes waiting to be shot. An, if those sporting shops (though wouldn't work for one) really wanted brains used in advertising they should employ mer"

LINGERIE BROCK IS REVIVED
Garments Made of Nets, organdies, Georgettes, chiffons, crepes and
 Batistes for Summer.

The revival of the lingerie frock is an assured feature of summer.
 These frocks, made of sheer tissues such as nets, organdies, georgettes, chiffons, crepes and batistes, are most engaging. almost invariably combined with faces or embroideries and some times both. Some show beautiful hand embroideries or real faces, others ma chine-made faces or embroideries-the choice rests with the purse of the pur- chaser.
 Many all-lace afternoon frocks are being shown. Some are white and oth- CTS are in colored laces and nets, the colors being the seasons favorites- salmon, flesh, orchid, citron, straw and jade.
 Ribbon sashes are worn with most of these frocks. Paraso1s in chiffons or faces, together with lace or georg- cite hats, help to complete these beau tiful frockS.

used for evening clothes and vies with hyacinth blue for popularity in the evening.
 The Mermaid Dress.
 want to tell you about one other dress that Fifth avenue designer has just made. It reminds one of mer- maid. The upper part is of iridescent spangled silver cloth that drapes loosely around the body and low on the hips. It gleams like a shiny body that has just come out of the ocean into the moonlight. The lower part is black satin, which is very tight around the ankles and creeps away into a little fshtail train that undulates along behind one.
 Even the realm of parasols has been invaded by new materials. The same feeling for the use of wintry fabrics in this summers clothes that we have seen noted in both hats and gowns is expressed in parasols. Black velvet frequently is used for them; these are lined with thin silks of contrasting tone, blue being the color most often used.
 Ostrich Finds New Place for PIumage.
 The French craze for the use of os- trich feathers appears in parasols as we'll as hats. Many of these imported by American firms are of taffeta bor- dered with ostrich. Others have the three little Prince of Wales ostrich tips placed at the end of each rib, and still others have the ferrule encircled with feathers.
 Very lovely are sunshades of old fashioned chintz, such as might have been used by the beauties of pre-revo- lutionary days. These make charming garden parasols.
 The French always make their par asols. tub shape, but we in America do not like these shapes as we'll as the larger English ones, because they in- terfere with our headgear. A tub shaped parasol is made of old blue georgette crepe over bright red taf- feta and is outlined with red roses. Both Cloisonne and jade are used for the handles of parasols. For the coun- try there are some charming Japanese umbrellas that are very short-much shorter than the diminutive English rain or shine umbrellas that we have been using. They are almost like miniature parasol that may be tucked under the arm when going out for morning walk.

Why Army Likes Motor Kitchens.

Feeding Soldiers is an important matter, and the problems it pre- sents have interested many of our in ventors.
 The travelling kitchen, run by mo- tor power, is a very natural product of the times. There are several types.
 The kitchen, with its big kettles, large enough to cook food for 250 men at one operation, is mounted upon an automobile truck, which can also carry reserve supplies to feed 25O addition al men.
 For the chauffeur a protected cab is provided in front and the cook may attend to his work in the kitchen even while the truck is moving from place to place, by standing upon a step in the rear. To prevent his being jolted off on rough roads a hand rail has been provided to which he can hold.

Demand for Ginohams.

One of the features of the colored end of the cotton goods trade is the present 'tightness'' of the situation as it affects dress ginghams. These cloths are already in strong demand over the retail counters, it appears. At whole sale the producers have the situation so strongly in hand that concentrated efforts are being made by many we'll known jobbing firms in various parts of the country to induce the former to be more liberal in the way of selling terms. That the gingham vogue is by no means over is shown by the de- mand for fall goods of this character on the part of the manufacturing trades.
