New and Interesting.

The milliners have invented a veil
of dark blue tulle which has border
of tiny blue ostrich tips. The veil Is
worn in the new way, dropping loosely
under the chin to the collarbone over
the bare neck and running straight up
behind the ears to the top of the hat
The edge of this type of veil is always
ornamental, in order to give the direc-
tolre bride under the chin. The use
of ostrich feathers on a silk net vel
Is new ond interesting.

the waistline. Another distinguishing
new touch appears in the vide band
about the flaring sleeve. An en-
broidery pattern in chain stitching In
the same color as the blouse makes
an interesting ending to this chapter
in the story of new styles in blouses.
AZ the right Cf the picture whit"
crepe de chine proves once more Its
adaptabiity to practical blouses. The
panels at the back and front of this
blouse are finished with hens and hem
stitching. and crushed grdle OF
crepe de chine lies easily about the
waist. Tae naring sleeves are cut
into an odd shape and faced back with
band of the crepe de chine. Two
little silk crochet balls call attention
to the originality of the sleeve and
help to make it hang well.
Clusters of grapes with leaves and
tendrils outlined are embroidered ON
the front of the blouse in three groups.
As in the dark blouse, this embroidery
is machine made, but in this Instance
it is Just as effective as handwork.
As harbingers of the new styles for
fall these blouses do not foretell any
very radical changes. A few new
models have round neckS higher than
those in the picture, and greater
proportion of blouses In dark colors
Indicate that skirts will probably
match the waist worn with them.
But it is n little too early to do more
than draw conclusions which may not
prove conclusive.

Women, ,aving taken violent

have replaced few blouses with these
newer garments. The smocli has not

Our old friend Chuck Connors. in
the International Bookbinder for June,
tells of some of the war work of the
G. p. o. and the methods used In
handling the huge output OF printed
matter:
'In edition to about $50 annual re-
ports by the various departments and
bureaus. ranging in numbers of copies
from 1000 to 10000. there were eight
daily publications, including the Con-
gressional Record with 5000 copies
and the Official Bulletin with III. 900
copies, both OF which were mailed
from the government print shop each
night
+ There were twenty-five weekly pub
locations ranging in number of copies
from 5000 to 10000. fifty-eight month
ly publications ranging in number of
copies from 500 to 10000. and ten quar-
terly publications ranging in number
OF copies from 80 to $500. There could
be no excuse for delay on these pub
locations. They were delivered on
time.
Some very large individual orders
were handled. such as 1900, 900 thrift
cards. 2H.OCO,009 questionnaires. blanks
and covers, 100000 notices of classi-
fcations. and numerous other jobs
ranging in number of copies from l.
ooc.C00 to 100000. All this work was
furnished in a remarkably short time
at reasonable cost
In one instance. orders from a single
department for as many as 10000 600
copies of miscellaneous jobs were en-
tered in the office in one day. Millions
of copies of various drill books. hand
books. regulation, ETC., cloth bound.
were ordered by the War Department,
with demand for immediate delivery; ;
the Navy Department was also fur
nished with vast quantities of print
ing and binding.
The Agriculture Department was
furnished with many millions of pos
ters. pamphlets. circulars, etc. In con-
nection with war work. over 1900 900
farmers bulletins were printed, cut and
stitched The Treasury Department
was furnished with posters. cards, bull
letins. pamphlets. etc. running into
many millions. for use on income tax.
thrift cards, liberty loan and war saw
ing business.
In addition to all this. the customary
work for Congress. the postoffice and
the various departments and bureaus
was handled as usual.
There are two mailing tables with
continuous belts that carry the
wrapped records into the mail sacks
The mail sacks when filled are thrown
down a chute on a conveyor that runs
in a tunnel to the city postoffice.

The meeting of Columbia Typo

unusually interesting. Not since the
eight-hour strike have the G. P. o.
printers been so much in earnest as
they are about two bills now in Con-
gress authorizing the Public Printer
to grant increases. All sides have in
dulged in some rather wild talk, but
solution for the matter may be
reached at the meeting today which
will be acceptable to all. as everyore
