Stripes are one of the features in

in the London Times. Whole dresses
are TO be seen in silk with colored
stripes varying in width. The material
is used in both ways. The skirt may
have two deep plisse fiounces with the
stripes perpendicular. and the bodice
may show them horizontally A skirt
in cloth may be plain and have a
striped coat, or the other way round,
and. again, there are some smart lit
tie dresses all in striped material silk
or wolfe. with which plain cloth coats.

Striped ribbon is much used in millin-
cry. and when ribbons of two colors
and widths are used together they are
made to look as If they were striped.
Black and white and black and royal
blue are the most favored.

LastNight's Dreams

THAT simple little fruit OF the oak
Il tree, the acorn. has divided the
mystic world of those who profess. or

dreams into two violently antagonistic
camps. According TO one set of pene-
traitors of the veil the acorn shed by
the tree Of night through the visions
of our slumbers is as much TO be de-
sired as rubies and fine, gold; to the
other set IL is a thing to be abhOrred.
