Atlanta candy manufacturer made a
net profit last year of $350,000. His
entire plant could probably be re-
placed for 100000. Another con-
Germ is reported to have cleaned up
$4,000 in a plant of about the

profitable results are going to grow
in future, it is predicted, as the grad

Then the writer goes on to sayt
"Most people know the useful II I'm

stroke.
AS to the waist line, II bids fair to
disappear altogether or to appear in
the most startling manner, as for in
stance one finds 1t on some OF the
Batik robes we'll below the hips, half
way to the knees. And this is some-
thing at which we shall rebel at first
and then accept with such grace as our
dressmakers compel. but / trust we
shall save these curious creations for
indoors, though I have seen. several
fur coats with the waist line developed
almost at the knees. OF course some
women who protest tho sacrifice Of
their independence and yet follow the
slightest change have made a compro-
mise by maintaining a normal waist
line and a more or less baggy panel,
broken well below this line in the
back.
Bissrre Batik Gown Accepted.
The Batik gown with its unusual and
bizarre colors, piled bewilderingly one
above the other, so that the whole Is a
curious intermingling of shades and
tones impossible to describe, seems to
have finally been accepted and its
long, trailing gracefulness hailed as the
ideal garment for the quiet and in
formal dinner hour. 1t Is possible to
accentuate the various colors appear
ing in these draperies by setting in a
belt of some vivid color contrasting in
perfect harmony Cf such a term can be
useD with the whole. Even the dra-
peries to be worn underneath the Batik
garments partake of the harmony

which make the trailing dinner dress.

Powered Brocades Do Much
To Enliven New Fashions
Pompadour Lightness and Grace Mark Frocks Made Of
Such Material, While the Batil< Gown With It's
Array of Coors Furnishes Another Vivid Note

the two colors are delightful together
The frock has the long basque with
the skirt set ON by means of a corded
line without fulness at the hips
though there is some drapery in a
slightly hustle effect in the back and
further draping of the rather tight
skirt toward the hem. The neck of
this quaint gown is not very deeply
cut and Is round and simply trimmed
with very narrow frill Of silver lace
The short puffed sleeves, likewise I'm
ihed with the silver lace, stop just at
the elbow.
Contrasting strongly with the quaint
Powered frocks with their tendency
toward the piquant and much draped
effects are the frocks of two colors
and with the straightest and severest
lines one can imagine. These frocks
are known variously as "chemise,'
"paysan." or Chinese dresses, as many
hang with the loose effects accom-
pllshed by any of these descriptive
terms. One such tricolette frock in
two colors shows the skirt of severest
cut and scantiness of dark brown and
the long bodice folded with a false
hem, much as young girls wear MILDLY
blouses, and made of fawn tricolette.
A favorite combination in this sort
Of one piece dress is seen more or less
often in the French blue with skirt OF
black. In fact one of the striking fam
cies just now is that of combining COL
ors. Not in many years has there
been so much color in evidence. and
clever makers, taking advantage of
this tendency for the most fiamboyant
and gayest colors of the rainbow, are
happily combining several in one
frock. This has never been an easy
thing to do successfully, and where II

THE cape is here again. Not that
It ever really went away, but
l. last spring it had such a vogue
that we grew rather tired Of its blue
ubiquity, for the only capes one saw
at every turn were those Of dark blue
serge or silk.
1t is true the dark blue has lost
none Of its popularity. but other fabrics
are to the fore In addition to the serge
Of last year. Tricolette, for instance,
and in all the colors one could choose.
1 have seen nothing lovelier than a
white tricolette with fringed ends so
made that 1t Is thrown around the fig
ure like a Spanish shawl. and faced
inside with heavy white satin.
One of the agreeable features OF
these newer capes lies in their variety
of design. One of the popular models
shows a yoke shoulder deep and very
tight, from which the lover end of the
cape falls away in graceful fullness.
The collar rolls around, high up to the
ears, and almost as deep as the yoke.
These huge collars ornament nearly
all of the advance models and now and
then one finds some of the new capes
revealing a succession Of ripples placed
one above the other from collar to hem.
Again the cape is longer than that of
last year. OF course the utility wrap
will be Of serge, tricolette or broad
cloth. AS to the lovely little affairs for
the dressup times taffetas appears In
| pleasing colors and designs.
In one instance I found 1t in sill
very orchid tone with the same deep
| shoulder yoke effect observed on its
serge sisters and banded at the bot
tom of the yoke with band Of shirred
velvet. Below the yoke the taffetas
cape part flares gracefully nearly to

Startling Combinations Used.
There is a certain tendency to COM
bine colors with the same startling
contrast one notes about everything.
A splendid horizon blue satin cape re-
veals a Haunting lining Of that pur-
pie red shade known as magenta"
| This shade, by the way, is not quite
so deep as the so called geranium, nor
yet so bright as the American Beauty
and 1t is just at its height in favor, be-
ing one Of the accepted midwinter col
ors, perhaps for the reason that we
are more or less tired of the conven-

The splendid brocades which have

being made up into long. straight

a scarf, as they are practically little

edges and intended to be thrown from
