Dressmakers are preparing for q
season of gayety and of clothes. The
war is over. the depressing days OF
Insecurity have lost their deadly in
fluence, and in the place of combining
economy. prosperity and even ex-
travagance are now the dictators
And SO we find clothes again a pre-
dominating factor in the worlds COM
merce. In place of practical clothes
Inexpensive clothes. even uniforms
fllmy, diaphanous things have flutter-
ed into being, like so many butter
flies, after a Ing interval in their
chrysalis state. Evening gowns re-
fleet the jubilant gayety of victory
and rejoicing. And in this transition
back into their own sphere women
have chosen the most feminine of all
Louis Quinze is the foundation of
the new fashion, with the diversion
in line of fairness back and fore and
the wide effect appearing only at the
sides. In the sketch is a model built
on such lines of the finest chantilly,
with an old blue grosgrain ribbon
at the belt. Square of neck and bell
of sleeve, the lace is shirred in dis
tended panniers at the sides, falling
over a lace .underskirt and fiaring in
charming pillows at the hips.
Another delightful frivolity in the
way Of a black dancing frock is a
modish little creation Of net, whose
bodice consists of a double row OF
black ostrich f1ues and a pair of net
straps. Bodices are mere wisps of
their old selves. while all the material
and design go to elaborate skirts
and overskirts. This frock shows a

Orange and yellow was a color COM
bination that was seen in the making
Of a dress recently put out by smart
dressmaker for a smartly dressed
young woman.
For an evening dress that is simple
and striking an over tunic Of black
satin was hung over an underskirt of
silver brocade with the only sleeve ef-
feet consisting of large jade beads in
strings.
A draped afternoon frock Of jersey
is made with a yellow satin lining for
sleeves. Tho sash Is trimmed with
yellow flowers.
A bright blue taffeta frocl< is trim
med with rows of small silver buttons.
It has elbow sleeves of matching blue
chiffon with turnback taffeta cuffs.
A smart day frock is made of dark
brown serge with a scant three-tier
skirt and plain surplice waist. The
note of color is narrow bright red

color, flaming vermillion. The dress
proper is of black charmeuse, and the
exquisite material of the skirt is de-
liberately cut into in large circles,
through which an underskirt of YER
million faille reveals itself. These
circles are outlined in French blue os-
trich flues and narrow picoted rib
bon of the same shade encircles the
scant bodice. A pair of tulle shoulder
straps complete the costume.
The trim all-day frock in the sketch
is built on the lines SO well liked in
Paris at present Navy blue serge is
the material used and dove gray
satin the trimming. A vestee of the
satin is decorated in narrow blue in
sertion fringe and set into a round
cut neck and edged with satin band
which ties at the throat. Elbow
sleeves are bound with the same. as is
the narrow skirt, slit at either side.
The straight, cut-in-one-piece effect is
relieved by a narrow sash of serge, and
a pair of satfn-outlined pockets dec
crate both skirt and bodice with an
ingenious touch of originality.

The collar line and short sleeves are

skirt consists of five graded ruffles,

Tobacco brown faille is trimmed

About Seep Seep.

Hello! There's Seep seep! I haven't
seen him since we were together up

from NINE" exclaimed Yank Yank

Seep's tail is never cooked up at all
In fact it bends down for Seep Seep

members Of the Woodpecker family
use theirs. He was dressed in gray
ish-brown above and grayish-white
beneath. Across each wing was a lit
tie band of buffy-white and his bill
was curved down just little.
When he alighted at the foot OF
that tree Seep Seep didn't stop an
instant, but started up. going round
and round it as he climbed and pick
ing out things to eat under the bark.
His way Of climbing that tree was
very like creeping and Peter thought
that Seep Seep was well named the
Brown Creeper. He would have liked
to gossip with Seep Seep, but he knew
that Seep Seep would waste no time
that way.
Round and round up the trunk of

How to Make a Battleship Game.

By GRANT NJ HYDE,
Associate Professor of Journalism, the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin.
"How would you like to make a fleet
of warships and fight a naval battle?"
asked Uncle Bob. Get your jack
knife and I'll show you how.
you will need a lot of boats, per-
haps twenty. and the easiest way to
make them is to white them out of
pine vine-lattice, which you can get at
deck patterns for the various kinds of
ships, mark around, and whittle out
fiat hulls. Matches or small sticks
pushed into holes make masts and
stacks. Turrets, with brads for guns,
can be pivoted on the decks.
You will need two fleets. Each
fleet should have two dreadnaughts,
three battleships and five cruisers.
Dreadnaughts should be six inches
long. battleships five and cruisers
four.
when the boats are finished, make
big chart of wrapping paper, at least
ten feet square. Spread it on the floor
and draw lines in both directions so
as to mark the chart into eight-inch
squares.
The battleship game is something
like checkers; it is game of maneu-
vering. One fleet lines up for defense
on one side of the chart; the other at
tacks. AdmiraLS take alternate moves,
and for each move can move one ship
from one square to the next
Each ship has definite gunpower.
