son, corresponding to the aftiN son in
names of Teutonic origin, as Davidson,

Use of Electricity Came
by Various Discoveries

Use of electricity came through
combination of related discoveries and
development of knowledge of electric
energy. Manifestations of electric en-
ergy were known since Bible times.
The first step which led to present use
of electricity was taken by Galvani,
who demonstrated in the eighteenth
century that electricity could be pro-
duced by the contact Of metals with
fluids. His experiments suggested to
Volta in 1900 the electric battery. Then
Oersted discovered electromagnetic.
Later developments led to the inven-
ton of the dynamo. Soon after came
the electric telegraph, followed by the
telephone, electric motor, etc.

of fact hardly recognizable It's name,
too, has changed, for whereas in the
beginning it was just a Smock now 1t
is known as the "overblouse," and the
chemise blouse, and the Cossack coat.
The gardening period in our recent
lives is believed to be responsible for
the acceptance of this type of blouse.
The smock is so comfortable with its
loose free lines that it became at
once just the sort of thing needed for
this sort of work, especially since it
looked just as well with trousers as
with skirts-a thing which could not
be said of all waists or blouses. OF
course trousers We're part of the
gardening days, and while they have
retired at least from general service
as far as woman's need for them
goes, the smock remains, glorified be-
yond its most humble followers rec

OF great beauty are those over
blouses of midnight blue voile closely
pailleted all over with round silver
disks and held in place with thick
cord of silver threads This is to be
worn with a skirt Of silk or sport
satin or gabardine and makes u
pleasing costume. The printed chif-
fons have been extensively used for
the type of blouse. One seldom sees
them without belt of some sort,
generally a heavy silken cord which
encircles the waist and loops In front
with heavy tassels or fringe.
If the smock is worn under the cont
it Is often left free and unbelted, but
rarely is it seen now worn In this way
without ones coat or sweater. The
smock of the unbelted variety has n
decidedly dressing sacque look, but SO
many women understand so cleverly
the adaptation of every mode that we
are spared an avalanche of Indies ap-
parently abroad in their breakfast
coats or boudoir jackets.
A Lovely smock Blouse.
One of the most beautiful of all the
smoek type of blouses seen lately is
of finest indcstructible white voie
braided all over In fine white silk
braid in circle design. The bottom OF
the blouse has II hem of white sili
faced back onto the blouse. A vest Is
cut nt the front and piped with white
silk. Two silken buttons caught to

This charming thing Is to be wori

A curious concession to the over
blouse notion is found in many elabo
rate waists of chiffon or georgett'

to go over the skirt and the back, stop

of the skirt slipped over the from
