YOUR SUMMER DANCE FR0cK
Rainbow Gown Is Entitled to Claim
Honorable Mention Among
Things Beautiful.

The summer dance frock is always
D problem. It has to endure more
beauty-sapping wear and should cost
a great deal less than the winter eve
ming gown. Then it must be lovely to
the eye and yet lack heavy trimming.
Well, here is a suggestion for you if
you are trying to solve this problem
yourself. 1t is as charming a bit Of
apparel as you ever saw and you can
make it yourself. The charm of 1t is
its colorfulness and it's originality.
The skirt is made by joining bands
of chiffon about five inches wide.
Starting at the hem is a pink, then
comes a band of faintest Nile green,
and then comes lovely pale blue.
Then the cycle begins all over again
with the pink and continues until the
skirt Is built up to the waistline. You
will wonder how these are fastened
together so that it does not look like
d patchwork quilt. Well, they are
ia '~.ted to? ether. The waist is per

MUCH DIFFERENCE IN HUMOR
Brand Highly Thought OF in One Coun.
try lie Not Always Appreciated
in Others.

When CoIeridge said, mo mind 10
thoroughly we'll organized that is de-
ficient in the sense of humor," he ex'
pressed a conviction that seems COM
mon to all civilized men, and makes
each nation take pride in its humof
and perhaps suspect that other nations
enjoy somewhat inferior brand. Yet
comparisons of humor shows, broadly
speaking that. the peoples of the world
are much alike. In the Tourist, pub
lished in Tokyo, a japanese author, for
example. remarks that humor ''is In
deed the flower of life, and life with
out it would be as dreary as spring
without it's blossoms. To illustrate, he
translates a number of Japanese anec-
dotes, funny stories," as the United
States might call them, but one does
not smile over them. Neither, on Sec
ond thought, does one smile over many
of the funny stories'' in American
magazines and newspapers. Hunor
which really amuses is everywhere
rare and precious, '1ower of life"

puts it, but growing up in company

PUT ONE AROUND YOUR HAT
ColorfuI Hatband Has Power TO Re-
IuVenate Old Headqear into
Unbelievable NeWness.

There is a perfect magic to the col
orful hatband. 1t has power to make
a stupid hat positively dashiDg. 1t
can rejuvenate an old hat into unbe-
nevable newness. Just about this time
the sport hat that has been on the
go since early spring, begins to show
it. Try bright bit of banding on the
weary headpiece and see If it doesn't
take a new interest in life.
Nor need the band be an elabOate
thing or difficult to make. It might go
like this: Two-inch unfigured ribbon
of taffeta or satin, grosgrain or velvet.
with two rows of stitched squares ar
ranged alternately, checkerbOard eff
feet, and worked up with silk or cot
ton or wool, whichever contrasts most
effectively with your ribbon.
Divide the ribbon band in half on
the length with faint penciling. Then
mark it off with two-inch spaces. Now
Fill" alternate spaces with Over-and-
over stitching. If you haven't any
particular color scheme in mind, what
do you think about this ultramodish
one: Tea rose or jade? Or you might
like to keep to the checkerbOard sug-
gestion and try. black on red squares.
1t would be ever so fetching on
black hat. L

confident of victory, shifted his feet
and inclined forward, Pierre changed
his grasp and caught him by the
throat.
LerOux'S face blackened and his eyes
started out. His great chest heaved,
and he tore impotently at his enemy's
strong fingers that were shutting out
air and light and consciousness. They
rocked and swayed; then, with a last
convulsive effort, Leroux swung Pierre
off his feet, raised him high in the air,
and tried to dash his body against the
projecting rock at the tunnels mouth.
But still the Indians fingers held,
and as his consciousness began to fade
Leroux staggered and slipped; and

his CONSTRUCTED throat, a shrek that

plunge into the black caldron beneath,
around whose edge stood the hooking
and fantastic figures of ice. The seeth-
ing lake tossed them high into the
air, and the second cataract caught
them and flung them back toward the
Old Angel.
At last they slid down into the
depths of the dark lake, to lie forever
there in that embrace. And still the

on and Adjusted to Be-
comingness.

The sweater is not in the height of
| fashion. That we. all know. Yet
every woman has a sweater In her
wardrobe, and most women have sew
eral sweaters. We have been told,
notes fashion writer. that sweaters
| now are worn for warmth. A couple
Of seasons ago they were worn be-
cause they were in vogue. To be sure
sweaters are worn for warmth now
partly. But they are also worn be-
cause they are a delightful part of
the summer wardrobe. In no other
way can a bright dash of co1oe be so
effectively procured and no other gar
Inent can he so easily put on and ad-
justed to becOmingness. g.
Therefore it is the day of the
sweater, even though to a more limit
ed extent than was the case a year or
so ago.
One reason, Of course, why women
have, some of them, more sweaters
this year than they had last is be-
cause they have time this summer for
knitting. They were too busy making
Red Cross sweaters and socks and he'll
NETS last summer to find time and
needles for sweaters for themselves.
Now Red Cross knitting, excepting for
the refugee garments, is not needed.
And therefore women are knitting for
themselves.
Really good hand-knit sweaters of
wool are very expensive when bought
ready made. Wool is still high. La
Dor is high. The same condition holds
good of silk sweaters. They also are
expensive.
So if you can make your Own sweat
er you can save great deal on that
garment, for you give your labor to
yourself and have only the cost of the
wool to consider.
One Of the new sweaters is that
