in the city. In New York trainoads

"Ye who have scOrned each other,
Or injured friend or brother,
In this fast fading year;
Ye who, by word or deed,
Have made a kind heart bleed,
Come gather here!
Let sinned against and SHINING
Forget their strife's beginning,
And join in friendship now.
Be links no longer broken,
Be sweet forgiveness spoken

"Ye who have loved each other,
Sister and friend and brother,
In this fast fading year;
Mother and sire and child,

Each past unbroken vow;
Old loves and younger wooing
Are sweet in their renewing
Under the holly-bough."

A Girdle for the Ample Venus

She buys the largest grdle (size
thirty. and selects front-lacing
model that has good flare above the
waistline where it is only two inches
high. The hip part is proportionate-
ly short and comfortable for bending
and sitting on low chairs. For this is
a so-called athletic girdle--only over
thirty sizes are not supposed to be
athletic according to the corset man
ufacturer's notion. She slashes down
that girdle from top to bottom at the
center back and inserts with two
double rows bf strong machine stitch
ing. strip Of stout cotton drilling,
as many inches wide as her waistline
is larger than the size thirty Of that
girdle. For front-lacing corset must
come well together at the laces If one
is to be comfortable. She tapers the
strip toward the bottom. to give the
extra room needed at the top of her
girdle. As these girdles usually come
in flesh tint. she tints her cotton drill
ing the right shade with a soap-dye
such as can be bought for ten cents
at any drug store. In this short. yet
well shaped girdle, sufficiently boned
to keep the figure from spreading.
and with good brassiere to confine
the flesh above the waistline. she is
beautifully comfortable for work
about the house. and quite trim IN
her print house dresses.

~HERE are some large women
who are large only above the
waist. Their hips are not heavy.
~perhaps because they have been
athletic in earlier years. Yet because
they are large and require a size thir-
ty-four corset. the only kind Of corset
they can buy is "stout-woman's"
corset. rigidly built and coming far
down over the thighs in strapped
down lengths of material.
Not for them Is the comfortable
girdle which alas comes only up to
size thirty. Stouter women than size
thirty are not supposed to want
girdles! So the corset saleswoman
will tell you. But how in the world
Ii one to do housework (these maidless
times) In a long and tall and
strapped-down corset that makes it
extremely difficult to pick up a fallen
dishcloth or to reach under the kit
chen sink--or dust chairlegs. or do a
hundred everyday household Jobs. The
only answer seems to be; either to
wear an old and disreputable corset
that has been ''well broken in" and
has TO be mended every few days to
keep the bones from poking through:
or to adopt for household tasks a
shapeless corset waist which allows
the figure to spread alarmingly; or
what Is worse still-to go without
corsets "around the house."
One woman has solved the problem.

But there is nothing so lovely as one
of these big. airy hats of black lace
and nothing more becoming. A very
beautiful model Is pictured. The lace
brim projects beyond The wired tulle
brim and both brims droop gracefully
over the face. On the low crown the
lace is laid over swathings OF black
tulle and twisted velvet ribbon in Matt
tier blue forms the trimming band
and long. looped streamer. Two
pink roses are caught against the brim
at the back.
Another stunning lace hat is OF
black chantilly, with quantities OF
French blue ostrich massed around
the blue crown. The brim droops but
when the wearer lifts her head, the
blue ostrich can be seen through the
black lace. This hat was worn a. a
fashionable afternoon affair recently
by woman who has prematurely
gray hair The black hat with Its
blue mass OF feathers was wonderful
with the gray hair and with q frock
OF black chiffon and Jet.
A good many picture hats are OF
black horsehair lace which produces
the airy effect very well. though such

tinction of a black lace model. White

sub-conscious worry about how ones
skirt looks from the back; and it is
as easy to climb stepladder as a
flight of stairs-with no petticoats to
hold up in one hand while the other
holds the tack hammer and curtain
poles.
All these dainty overalls are made
of bingham but there are overalls OF
other materials-sturdy khaki and
denim for rough garden labor and
crisp. fresh overalls of pink or blue
or lavender linen for house wear.
Linen is the fashion this season SO,
of course, there must be linen over
alls--and they do launder most beau
tifully
The overalls pictured owe their
graceful outline to the over-drapery
which gives almost the silhouette of
skirt. Under the drapery there is
bifurcated garment sort of
loose bloomer which takes the place
Of petticoat. so that. since the over
all is all in one piece. you have only
one garment to get into Of morning
instead Of three: Petticoat. shirtwaist
and skirt. If you are slender and 60
without a corset when working o.
mornings. all you need to- don when
you get up is one-piece union suit
or, suit Of the cool crossbar muslin
underwear cut like mans: and over
that your overall. Two minutes to put
on your clothes!
A favorite model Is the one Of pink
and white checked Bingham with col
lar and cuffs Of white linen. The ar
rangement Of the gingham. straight in
sleeve and drapery. bias in bodice and
skirt panel. gives much smartness to
the costume. All edges are bound
with white and white pearl buttons
add their mite Of decoration. The
long wasted bodice. fastened in tabs
down to the pockets in the skirt. is
especially graceful.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1920-06-05

Another pictured model--and by the
way these overalls are called over
alettes to distinguish them beyond all
question from the hideous masculine
garments of blue and tan plaid
Bingham with collar and cuffs of plain
blue lawn. The edges of the skirt
and pockets are bound with blue lawn
and the belt is made of a folded strip
of blue lawn. The little vestee with
loops and buttons adds an extra bit
Of coquetry. The skirt of this over
allette is cut on the circular and is
as the edges of an envelope chemise
are fastened together. The pocket
slashes are not really the edges of
pockets. The latter are set in the
boomer, or under part of the overall
and the sloping pocket slashes merely
add iauntiness to the garment.
An overall must not look like
frock. 1t must maintain its char
,acter throughout and a tailored sug-
gestion is an important detail. AL
ways 1t has edges bound instead of
hemmed-which suggests sturdiness
and strength, even if the overall will
never be worn for anything more
strenuous than washing break fast
cups and saucers on summer bunga-
low porch. The skirt must be just the
right length, too. Short enough to
have businesslike. workaday sug-
gestion, yet long enough to look per-
fectly modest. And there must be
enough fullness in the skirt to fall in
soft drapery about the limbs These
Bingham overalettes are surprisingly
cheap.for- the amount of fine soft
bingham that must go into the full
skirt and the extra bloomer under
meath; and such a garment will prob
ably last through two seasons--thoueh

telling what flights of attractirennss

for any reason, one can retire to a
dressing room and remove the extra
coiffure> structure also.
Red Hats In Fashion
Poppy colored hats are decidedly
smart. Reboux has made such dash
Ing ones that the vogue has been
established. From Reboux come
white straw sailors with scarlet rib
bon bands and clusters OF silver cher
ries. and small hats of vivid scarlet
trimmed with velvet popiesj In the
same shade. A hat,of scarlet leghorn
from another French house has the
brim bound with black oilcloth and
sprays OF glycerined ostrich in red
shoot out from the crown. These red
hats look very smart with tailored
white linen suits--of which there are
many this season Of revived interest
in linen. Natural pongee suits and
frocks also look we'll in company with
dashing red chapeaux.
Airy Lace Hats Are Formal
A lace hat Is not intended for or
binary wear. One must dress up to
such hat. Therefore these hats are
in the uncommon and exclusive class.
for not every woman can afford to
own an expensive hat which may
only be worn on special occasions.
And lace hat is usually an expensive
hat; the material must be good for
cheap lace is atrocious in millinery,
and there Is a good deal OF handwork
on such a hat. There must first be.
the transparent tulle foundation. ex.
uuisitely graceful in line in spite of
the unsuhstantial material used. And
then the lace must be wired and ar
ranged over the tulle And if you
have ever tried to sew wriggling wire
to lace you know what work 1t is.

poor men cannot indulge in anything
so attractive. For them the straight
up-and down land rather bulgy-in-
places) overall of custom and tradi-
ton. No rufiles on theirs. no sashes.
no graceful draperies. Women wore
those masculine overalls while
during wartime--but woman's' innate
sense of the beautiful and her clever
method Of contriving to took beautiful
in any sort of costume soon changed
things in regard to the overall sques-

oh yes indeed-to be in the fashion,
to live up to her new determination
in the crusade against high prices and
to be comfy about her workout she
is going to have those overalls becom-

So behold the overall as woman's
ingenuity has perfected ito date.
Undoubtedly next season will see some
thing still prettier and more intrigu-
ing in overalls, but so far. the pictured
models are the very best examples
that can be presented at the moment.
And quite, satisfying they are, you'll
admit.

RECRUITS 10 RANKS OF OVERALL SQUAD
 ARE: ON INCREASE
Mass Meeting Probably Will be Held Wednesday
 Evening

While no official overall club yet has been formed in Pine Bluff, cx- cepting at the High school, recruits to the ranks of the overall wearers were noticed in small numbers on the streets yesterday. The High school campus was libcrally dotted with the figures in blue, while it was noticed that a number of the girls wore ap- rons. They also agreed to wear cot ton stockings, instead of silk, and it presumed that the agreement was kept.
 Those who are attempting to or ganize an official overall club in Pine Bluff stated yesterday that almost a thousand men had agreed to wear them, and that q mass meeting will be held at the courthouse proba bly, Wednesday night.
 Pastors in Pine Bluff are some what divided about the proposition Rev. J. II. Moore, pastor of the First Baptist church, and Rabbi L. J. Roth stein, are outspoken in support of the movement. Dr. J. I. Norris, while not condemning the move, intimated he was not in favor of it. He stated at the evening service Sunday that if a man was unable to purchase any clothes, it might be all right for him to wear overalls. He advocated the economy of wearing out old clothes. Rev. H. B. Trimble. pastor of Lake side church did not discuss the matter at either service. What stand other ministers have, or will take, is not known
