Grand Array Offered in the Gay

Ne.,est Coats Are Made of Basket

Plated Skirt.

We women would be utterly devoid
of vanity if we did not want to revel
in a variety of pretty country clothes
these sunny summer days, asserts a
fashion correspondent. Now is the
time above all others when we have
an opportunity to bring together an
assortment of beautiful colors in our
dress. In town we are limited to GER
tain styles and shades, except in our
evening dresses and our negligees.
For the country the gayest of things
are offered, and there is so much to
choose from that we need to exercise
taste and judgment in our selections.
chosen because it appeals to you as a
color that you have always liked, but
bought with Il picture of the entire
costume in mind. For instance, one
of. the new open mesh silk sweaters
OF Il tawny gold hue is charming with
n rough silk skirt of blending shade
and a wide-brimmed old blue straw
hat with yellow trimming.
The plain type of sport clothes
made of dark cOlored tweeds and SIM
liar cloths may be infinitely practical,
but why be practical at the expense
of beauty? A woman should make a
picture in her sport clothes. Coats
and sweaters alone offer unlimited op-

Ancient Bricks Well Made.

OF the durability Of the ancient
bricks the remains of ancient walls
and urse that go back to prehis-
toric times bear witness. So strong
are the well-made sun-dricd bricks
that they are found as a foundation
many courses deep, beneath the pom
derous stone work of ancient temples.
The remains of the ancient town. now
known as El Kab, still exist. with a
wall constructed entirely of such
bricks, still a solid mass. These
bricks now. as in ancient days, are
made with mud from the Nile and
chaff, not straw, but the admixture
was by no can always required. as
the Nile mud differed considerably in
different places, ana IN SccOnd-rnte
brickmaklng the mixture OF 'tibu' or
claff was not used. But in great
works, such as the greater wall in
closing the temple group of Karnak
which a made under the impulse of
the government at the time, this chaff
was always used.

skirts which are SC much i'll evidence
this year. Full length as well as the
sweater length coats may be had. OF

popular because it can be wOrn>all

the front, the trimming continuing all

To Make a Packet.

necessary for the skirt to he slipped on

open for about ten inches from ti,e

placket the better. Two strips of ma

the placket opening. should he cut. One

Neckwear Regarded as Nest important
Accessory; Organdie Laces or
TuIle Are Summary.

There is. perhaps. no accessory of
women's apparel SO important at the
present momcnt as the frills and

With the ardent beams of summer
sun, woman puts away regretfully the
too heavy fur she Struggled her throat
in during the last few days of spring,
when there was still a nip in the air

Nothing can he more summary than
the dainty g%arnitures of organdie
laces or tulle fashioned for just this
purpose and giving Il touch of light
ness and grace to the most sober at
tire.
To brighten a well-known dress they
are Invaluable. Last years ~taffeta. for
instance, can readily be transformed
into Il charming creation by the ad-
dition of a collar. cuffs. belt and side
puffs over the hips. all made Of or.

n narrow Valenciennes lace. The eff.

employed. \ wide surpllce crossing
in front and fastening III the back
with a large bow is suggested. The
sleeves must be cut exceedingly short
and edged with the same banding OF

Bingham dress, a real novelty that
will meet with approval from the
younger set is the large Buster Brown

he took the trouble to note that the
intent look upon each strange counte-

were black and quick. They advanced
with motions Of pacific intent. The
camels took fright, no less than the
Mongolian and Fansa. Helen did not

to offer his stiffest bow to the fore
