any Of the plain wool fabrics that tan
be depended on for service. 1t is a
one-piece affair having a blouse orne
mented with braid in the same color,
that has the effect of embroidery.
There are flaring sleeves with hand
some bralding and plain skirt set
onto the blouse about six inches below
the normal waistline. Covered buttons
are set on in a loop at each side Of
the skirt. The plain round mack
which youth may venture to wear, is
slashed at the front with a tiny vestee
inserted made of lace, and there is a
heavy silk cord finished with a knot,
about the easy waist.
The vogue for accordion plating is
to hold over into the fall according to
the pretty dress shown at the right.
This is also a one-piece model with
plated skirt set onto plain bodice
having short jacket with long sleeves
over it. A very wide girdle, finished
with pointed ends falling from short
loops, fastens at the left side. The
Jacket IS outlined with two rows of
narrow braid in white and the frock,
in this instance, dark blue. There Is q
small sailor collar at the back. These
are pretty frocks that will serve with
out wrap for fall, and with a warn,
coat will last out the winter.

autumn, except from necessity. But
those who must think ahead in the

price, only those of substantial quail
ity and plain texture are chosen for
school girls Reliable fabrics and sim
pie designing are for them. Many
schools prescribe uniform for every
day wear, and this makes easy sailing
for those who must outfit the student.
But there are other things besides the
uniform to consider, among them
frocks to be worn on the street and

TINE woman who meets the acid
i test of the breakfast table and the
bathing beach and succeeds in looking
attractive at these places, is the en-
We'd Of her sisters. 1t is no small un-
dertaking, yet there are many who
succeed-and there are many who fall
in It. Almost everyone can manage the
garb for early morning successfully
but the bathing suit is more difficult
and takes considerable study. 1t Is of
less Importance than the dress for the
beginning Of the day.
Morning dress must be suited to the
mornings occupation. In these serv-
antless days most women must en-
gage themselves with the business of
getting breakfast ready or helping to
get it. 1t is not the hearty meal our
forbears INDUCED in, for most modern
households have learned the wisdom
Of a light breakfast, but it requires
very practical dressing. Besides the
one-piece, simple cotton frocks that
come from the weekly laundering look
ing crisp and sprightly, there are pop
ular breakfast sets that include skirt
and jacket, or blouse, made of the
same washable materials. These are
the only wear for early morning
working hours.
The woman who need not concern
herself with housework may indulge
in silk breakfast Jackets or those of
georgette or chiffon. Pretty as they
are they are not more pleasing than
those crisp cotton frocks worn by her
buster sisters.

Chicago.-Charles G.. Dietrich, for

former secretary of the Windsor Fur

fees of the firm.
A policeman, mistaking him for a
burglar, shot him to- death.
The Windsor company had felt the
need of an inventory. Dietrich, Sec
rotary of the firm for ten years pre-
vious to January 1, 1920, had been re-
tanned as confidential adviser. The
new secretary, George Lyons, had
asked him because of his long famil-

Decides to Work Sunday.
With a habit formed in 20 years
employment by the firm, he went to
the office to work on Sunday. Through
out the afternoon and early evening
he toiled on the books.
Presently along the dark and de-
serted sidewalk outside came Elmer
J. Bradshaw, Waterman for the Chi
cago Protective agency. Bradshaw
paused before the window.
The glass was dirty. The old-fash-
toned electric bulbs gave only dim
light. And half revealed, half shad-
owed, Bradshaw saw man lingering
the combination of the old-fashioned
safe. He watched him for a moment.
Then he turned and softly ran to a
telephone and called police headquar-
tiers.
A flivver squad, armed for action,
rushed forth. They drove up to the
deserted corner
Meanwhile Dietrich had grown tired
of his work and started to lock his
memoranda in the safe.
There came a tap on the window.
Dietrich looked up. Outside in the
gloom were several forms.

Come out here; we want to talk
to. you; we're police officers" said De-
tective Sergeant Frank Lorenz.
Dietrich on another night months
ago had observed forms like that
while working late. They had been
robbers, bent on attacking the safe.
But at the moment they had shot at
him he had baked them by slamming
the door and fleeing toward the rear
of the place. And he tried that plan
again.

chain of the light bulb that would
