be wished" when occasion calls for
afternoon clothes. In these gowns
most young women may be beautiful,
and older ones brilliant and stunning;
they offer the best of opportunities
and a test of ability to take advantage
of them. With the fabrics at hand
this season, designers have done most
unusual things. 1t is to their credit
that they have taken the figured and
plain georgettes, satins, crepes de chine
and organizes and made innumerable
beautiful combinations of them, re-
sulting in a variety that has added
new interest to each week since sum-
mer dawned. These materials are
everywhere. It IS the art Of the dress
maker that turns them out in unex-
pected ways and transforms them into
unusual gowns
In the picture above georgette and
satin are the very usual fabrics that
have been converted into two brilliant
afternoon gowns.
The frock at the left is suited to
matronly wearers, with its striking

Appeals for men to fight the forest

mountainous regions of three States

out delay to the end of the railroads
and then by trails to the scenes of
the fires
