It's rather deep yoke is braided in
checker-board pattern with soutache
braid of the same shade as the vel
vet. The sleeves flare toward the
wrist and are finished with two wide,
shaped folds of satin. The bodice is
paneled at the front and back, fasten-
ing at the right side, where three
satin-covered buttons are placed.
Plpings of satin finish the edges of
the set-in belt, the neck and the arms
eye. Finally a silk cord, with tasseled
ends, is brought about the waist and
hangs more han half the length of
the skirt. 1t is not difficult to pic
ture the effectiveness of this dress in
dark blue or taupe or plum color, as
we'll as In brown, and the design is
suited to both mature and younger
women.
The hat worn with the gown as pic
tured is of brown velvet with q brim
facing of dull gold brocade and a
small feather ornament at n side.
It corresponds with the dress, is SIM
pie, rich, and graceful, with the irreg-
ular brlm and softly draped crown that
have made the seasons millinery so
successful.

Velvet, a little satin, some sOutache
braid. with a superb gift for designing
and perfect taste, combined to make
the beautiful. and apparently simple
afternoon gown which compels our adj
miration here. 1t may not be anything
like us simple as 1t looks; there are
subtle means for arriving at such
beauty of line and adjustment, but
they are the technique of the artist
and go unnOticed, except by the prac-
ticed eyes of other artists. This Is
the sort of dress that would please
the painter of women in any genera
ton, and 1t will delight the lady Of
today. 1t is a portrayal of the mode at
its best and NJ n could ask for a
better draping of the human form di-
vine.
Dark brown velvet with considera-
BILE luster was chosen for this frock.
In the cut of the neck and the shape
of the sleeves, in the hang of the skirt
and its decoration and length, are to
be noted touches that reveal how art
fully the latest style features have
been utilized by the designer. The
skirt reaches almost to the instep and
narrows a little toward the bottom.

Bright autumn weather has called
out the devotees of horseback riding
In numbers that have increased from
week to week for the past two months.
Now that the war work is not so COM
polling n sees single equestriehnes
and big, jolly parties, as well as many
happy pairs, in the parks and roads.
Judging from the smart toys of the
women, a rumor that the side saddle
was about to reappear is utterly with
out foundation.
As for the riding habits, they seem
to have reached a degree of excellence
In style and becomingness that makes
II hard to suggest any Improvement.
Coats and breeches are cut on the
same lines as last year, and there is
little variation in them. The coats are
trim about the body and rather full
in the skirt, but, while lines remain
the same. tailors modify the construc-
ton to make the thin I'M look less
thin and the plump woman look slen-
der. Nearly all coats have skirts that
extend oil the way round the figure,
but there are exceptions to this rule,
like the trim model shown In the

Froude declared, every English family had beef every day. Certainly never
since then has every English family had beef nee a week. And England
has long been better fed than Europe ever was.
Just now we Americans are eating less and complaining Of high prices.
We do not know when we are well off. This country has had more food and
better distribution of supplies than Europe eve saw, Notwithstanding our
railroad congestion and faulty methods of transportation.
Moreover, here re better care for the body, more conveniences, more
comforts and more mechanical appliances to make life easier We are
farther along the road to material felicity than eve was any country in any
period of civilization. The United States Is the nearest approach to Elysum.
AS the result, the average American is a better animal, q better inteli-
gence and probably a better moral person than the average.
From a n entirely scientific viewpoint. the average American has doubtless
a better endowment a better chance, a better living and a longer life than the
European.

The marines constitute the oldest branch of the military service of the
United States. They are ven older than the nation itself, having been estab-
Hshed by the Continental congress in November, 1775. Pretty much all the
world has seen them since; n their 143 years they have made history from
Tripoi to China, from the Philippines to Mexico.
In 1913 an attempt was made to abolish the marines Is no longer a
serviceable branch If the navy. But the people would not have it. Con-
gress took measures % strengthen the corps instead of disbanding it. When
we entered the war the marines we're recruited up to 10000 and sent to the
front Is land troops.
