THE WATERMELON

THE watermelon is pleasing and

much on the order of picnic lemonade.

medicinal purposes only.
Watermelons are grown largely In

Modified Styles Replace Modes

Love of characterization Cannot Be Sup
pressed; Yellow Is Appearing for
Midsummer Clothes.

1t is interesting, comments fashion
correspondent. to observe the simplici-
ty that is replacing the extreme ex-
ravagance that directly followed the
war-an extravaganza In the wake of
which came mass of Ill assorted fash
Ions. We have had during the last
two years many styles positively gro
tesque, such as the long narrow skirts.
so narrow that their wearers looked
like cripples hobbling along.
Down through the centuries history
SHOWS that every period of extreme
dressing has been followed by one of
simplicity. There is little likelihood
that dress Will remain simple for any
length of time. While there is always
the reaction from an extreme. the love
OF ornamentation cannot be sup
pressed. Dress began. not as cover
Ing for the body, but as an ornament

yellow is appearing in great many

Two shades of yellow and sometimes
three or four are combined in the same
costume. Yellow is distinctly a sum-
mer color, and has always been ia

A combination of several shades of

Last Night Dreams
What They Mean
EATING.

THE question of eating is n very Sc
Il rious and unsettled one in Dream
land and about 1t the authorities dis

en- to the eating habit in the world
of realities over who is responsible
for the present high cost of living.
According to some. to dream that you
are eating in company with others,
either at the family dinner-table or at
banquet, is sign that you will be
successful in profitable undertakings
and that your surroundings will be
pleasant and cheerful. The opposing
school warns you to beware of attend
Ing dream banquet as that signifies
that secret enemies are plotting
against you, recommending only a
small family party at the table. To
dream of eating at all, say some Of
the oracles. means that you are going
to spend money foolishly, to which

The summer sport hats show but
little variety of construction-that is,
the popular ones do not. There is the
hat made of ribbons Or bands of silk
sewed round and round and shaped
so that the little rolling brim droops
coyly over one eye. Taese are done
in pale shades and in bright shades
and usually they have no trimming ex-
cept little band of narrow ribbon
Rugged closely about the base of the
fioppy crown. Soft. felt hats are good
for some purposes. and these, too
have tendency to droop carelessly at
some portion of the brim-ln the place
where the curving line will be most
becoming to the individual wearer.

Phoenix Fable ReadIusted.

While instructing a class of young.

the other side retorts that every one
does, sometimes, spend money foolish

ling cape of rose-colored kumsi-

silk counter. And I'm not going to

BY all of which. one knows that no
wrap is so stylish this summer as the
cape.
Just about year ago Dame Fashion
announced dolmans for spring. OF
course, everyone bought dolmans. In
less than three months everyone was
sorry. The dolman faded from the
fashion picture. And then at about
the point where you had yours ripped
apart and made into sure enough
coat. along comes the dolman and cape
decree again.
The wraps of this year are not 80
different from those first ones of last
spring except that there are more
varieties of the wrap, which Is neither
A cape nor coat. They are fasci-
mating in their possibilities. and the
very incest thing that could happen
for summer wearing. Many are sleeve
less, having Sits for the hands, while
others do not even have Sits, nor
fastenings, but are meant to be held
closely about one.
All materials are being used for
these stylish new wraps. Navy blue
serge and tricot are popular. and al
ways look conservative, no matter
what the cut. Bolivia cloth fashions
