When tailors became scarce and the work of making street clothes went into the hands of dresSmakers in Paris, the one-piece "all-day' dress began to replace suits.

These two types are shown together in the picture above.
 These dresses are made up in the same quiet colors and of the same ma terials as suits, although colors cover wider range than are usually pre- sented in suits, and there Is more lati- tude in the matter of decorations.
 The dress at the left of the picture stimulates a suit so closely that 1t Is misleading. It will interest the girl who must soon be outfitted for col lege, because 1t Is a youthful model that will see her through the fall with out a wrap and prove comfortable in cold weather with the aid of ccat

II has the appearance Of suit with skirt and short box coat belted in. But the coat turns out to be ONly a bodice, with fronts heightened below the nar- row belt and disappearing at the sides under seam in the skirt. It has q satin vest. prettily embroidered, and q few very large bone buttons emphasize its novel features. They are set along the side seams in which the jacket fronts lose themselves and on the odd lapels into which the collar lengthens. Wool velour is an ideal material for a dress of this kind.
 The girl who aspires to look tall and slender should consider the long iinee and simple composition of the dress at the right. The picture portrays it with so much fidelity that there is nothing that needs to he said about 1t. An un- derskirt of silk, with border of cloth. has the effect of separate skirt. but the all-day dress is, above ail things. convenient to put on. and this skirt io merely the lower part of a foundation that supports the dress. Any of tho familiar and reliable wool suitings win serve to make these dresses

Informality at the White House.

Imagine the king of Belgium slipping up to
the presidents bedroom after receiving orders
from the doctor that 10 minutes Is the limit,
operating the elevator to take himself up and
down. Imagine the president, when the queen
came in later, pulling Eis old gray sweater,
cut at the elbows and frayed around the but
ton holes, down from corner post and slip
ping 1t on for the sake of conventionality.
That gentlemen of the press, who are
blessed, presumably, with the gift Of clair
voyance, tell us is about what happened Thurs
day in Washington. How different it was
from the meeting of the heads of these two
Dations as 1t had been pictured. Albert, fuss
ing with the elevator rope uncertain whether
he would be able to stop the thing. Woodrow,
pale from illness, apologizing for the holes in
his sweater; ~
Where was the formality.S the glitter and
the magnifcence which an event of such his
toric significance JUSTIFIED? What shock to
the sensibilities Of sticklers for form and
precedent!
Andrew Jackson, tying his horse to the
capitol hitching post and walking in alone to
attend his own Inauguration was regal by
comparison.

DEAR Mrs. Thompson: I have
friend who WAS married shortly be-
fore going to war. He provided
his wife with home. buying
the furniture before going away.
He made arrangements for some Of
her folks to live with her while he
was away. She received her allot-
ment and he sent her some other
money. After he had been gone a
short time his wife began running
around with other men. She sold
the furniture and left for another
city. There her conduct was such
that he was able to obtain divorce
upon his return.
He seemed to be heartbroken
; that his wife had been untrue to
him. Do you think it would be
wrong to keep on receiving atten-
ton from this man with marriage
in view when he has been divorced
the required length Of timer Or
do you think 1t would be too risky
to marry a man who has been
granted Z divorce?
UNDECIDED.
The young man has had his
share Of trouble and should not be
blamed II conditions are as you say
they are. Do not let the fact that
he was divorced stand in the way Of
marrying him.

Election results yesterday will be inter-
preted mainly according to the leanings Of

disregarded and loSel Issues dominated. Re-

which normally give majority to that party
The principal upset was the election Of Re-

time success of individual Democratic candi-
dates. especially in some Of the larger cities.
