STYLES FOR YOUNG WOMEN
Soft WOODEN Cloth Dresses, With
Skirts Short and Tight; Lace
and Flowers.

For the afternoon tea, notes writer
in the London Times, young women
may wear soft wooden cloth dresses in
brilliant colors; bright peacock, bright
rose, Indian red, green and turquoise
blue, with wing panniers and rough
fringes of the same cloth, fiat, draped
bOdices, and high draped necks. The
skirts are short and tight. The high
neck in afternoon dresses suits many
women well, but not all; that is an
other detail for the dressmaker. Some
wOmen's line of shoulder and head
needs to have the throat free, or they
look dull and heavy. The long coat,
straight and trimmed with fur, fas-
tening down the side and with a wide
hanging sleeve is a graceful tailor
made model. The cloak with a cape
loose behind and fitted in front, chiefly
in fur, is another The tlOunced fur
coat is also in favor, Int suits only
the slim. Monkey fur is still popu-
lar for trimming. In coats and cloaks
the lining must have beauty.
Jet is used more than everett en-
brodery on colored velvet, jet girdles,
jet shoulder straps. Lace grows more
popular, and evening dresses are being
made in lace and tulle, lace and taft
fetas, lace and satin. Feather trim
mings are rather less in favor, flow
ers are at the height of their popular
ity and should be as little like nature
MS possible. A new sash is made Of
strands of silk looped at the waist and
allowed to hang the full length of the
skirt. On a dark dress 1t may be
the one strong note of color. A new

BLOUSE IN favor
Garment Retains Popularity With
Majority of Women.
Vast Array of Materials Including
Silks, Laces, Velvet, Metallic
Cloth, Chiffon, Crepe.

Much interest is shown in blouses,
and never were there more varied and
delectable models displayed than those
now on view.
Probably this Is partly due to the
advent of the chemise blouse, Rus
sian blouse, smock, whatever one
chooses to call the blouse falling out
side the skirt.
These garments to be worn outside
the skirt seem to have reacted upon
the regulation models, to be tucked
inside the skirt, and both are alluring
enough to tempt women into extrava-
CANT buying.
The vogue of the separate skirt, a
by-product of the popularity of the
peplum or chemise blouse, works
round in circle to complement the
enthusiasm over the blouse; and so it
goes.
There is no end to the different ma
terials used for these blouses-silkS,
laces, velvet, metallic cloth, chiffon,
crepe. Often one sees a blouse of vel
vet or crepe drawn into deep g1rdle
of Chinese or japanese embroidery
or metallic cloth.
Another charming blouse is a long
model of black Salome velvet opening
over a blue and silver waistcOat. The
neck is high and fastens with several
buttons to the upper part of the open
ing. There is a girdle Of silver inset
with imitation sapphires. There are
two flounces of the black velvet.

MAKE HANDBAG YOURSELF
Black Velvet or an Old Piece of Seal
skin, With Beads, Used to
Advantage.

Some bags look exactly right with
one costume, or perhaps with two, but
it's a big task to choose a bag which
will strike the right note for every
costume.
Such bag may be made at home
with little difficulty. Black velvet, or,
if one is lucky enough to have an old
sealskin cap or collar; sealskin can be
shaped into an odd, semiOval bag. Jet
beads on silk foundation may be ap-
pliqued on the seal or velvet in two
bands. A tassel of the same beads
finishes the lower part of the bag,
while four chains of jet beads brought
together with a small ring from which
they lead to larger wrist band, con-
clude the bag. An ordinary ring may
be bought at any shop and bound with
silk, covered with beads, to form thir
wrist band-Betty Brown.

Ribbons on Slippers.

Many of the new dancing slippers
have narrow ribbons criss-crOssed over
the instep and around the ankle in the
quaint 1880 fashion that makes a fem
mime foot look so particularly dainty.
When the slippers are of silver bro
cade the narrow crossed ribbons are
silver, too, and tinted satin slippers
are matched by ribbons of the same
shade-and by silk stockings, too
Some of these dancing slippers have
the funny little short toes that pre-
vail in Paris, but the best models from
authoritative slipper shops are long
and slender of toe-a much more
graceful style and a more correct style
in this country. Quite as pretty as
the dancing slippers are afternoon
boots with high curved heels and tops
of smoke gray suede. Such tops are
buttoned and fit neatly over instep
and ankle.

August Flower which is a gentle laxa-
tive, regulates digestion both in
stomach and intestines, cleans and
sweetens tn stomach and alimentary

the houses. They saw family
grouped about the supper table. The
father, whose bullying vest made him
sit very straight and rather pOmpous-
ly, gazed with satisfaction at his fam
lily about the loaded cloth. The moth
er, woman of complacent curves,
smiled benignly at her well-scrubbed
children and her contented husband.
In another part of town. a humber
part, a small square window framed
another picture-a brown walled kitch-
en- where the copper glowed in the
rays from lamp on the red-checked
table. The old man and the old wom-
an nodded in their chairs. His stock
inged feet were stretched upon a foot
stool and their wooden shoes rested
beside him on the floor. AS her
fingers loosened from the knitting
needles, the half-made sock slid gen
thy from her lap. The stars chuckled
and skipped to get out of the way of
the new moon who came to watch
'hiS IttoN pt'i L VI IIC vi ANA III IIlC VII
lage. And when she saw a girl, who,
wide awake, dreamed of a sweetheart
in a neighboring town, the moon of ro-
nance took her message to the youth.
midnight melody of the carlton put
the girl to sleep.
But that was long ago before the
German guns roared out of the north
strong voices that chanted a fierce
harmony of misery and ruin-evil
voices that sent a tempest of terror
into the calm minds of the people and
babe them sob their everlasting fare
wells.
Now in the plain of Brabanconne
lies the village, mangled and charred.
It's narrow streets find their tortuous
way among the crumbling walls and
summer twilight lays a gray pail over
the broken homes The flowers that
gave their sweetness are faded and
the tongues of their vendors are
dumb. Sadly the stars gaze through
the night mist, tear-dimmed eyes that
search the blind windows in vain.
The people they knew laugh no more,
for their dreams, their loves and their
lives are withered. The waning moon
seeks the tower and finds but shat
tered wreck, vOiceless to utter the
dirge that stirs deep in its heart
Still some of the stone saints smile,
but the twist of their lips is ironic.
The bells that had sung through the
years, that had blessed the joy of the
people, cried their last note in pain
as they crashed to the foot of the bel
fry.
And the ruined village is mute; its
tragic doom goes unknelled for the
voice of the chimes is dead.

in a little town in the plain Of
Brabanconne, the summer twilight
filed the winding streets with shad-
ows. Over the cobblestones, bright
checked girls in wooden shoes, blue
dresses, and red kerchiefs trundled
their two-wheeled carts of flowers.
The scented breeze was cool. Here
and there lights began to CLEAN be-
hind the windows of the narrow, peak
rooted houses. The tower of the
cathedral rose against the sunset sky
like a misty dream and yet a dream
immovable. It's sculptured saints
smiled on the peaceful land. All was
quiet in the happy silence that ends
a day well lived.
Then with the stealth of fairies the
tiny notes played in the air. Softly
at first the magic music descended

WEST FLANDERS
BY KATHARINE EGGLEsToN ROBERTS

Copyright, 1920. Western
There's a wide bare field where ghostly trees
Plead for the mercy of Heaven.
They lift their broken arms and sigh
Against the pitiless, cold, gray sky,
But their prayers are hushed in the cloudy SEAS
And the crows are flying
In the desolate waste, the shell-pits gap;
Their wounded lips bleed peoples.
They are trimmed with rused guns and swords,
With bits of cloth and broken boards
And their waters mirror the broad wing-fap
Of the crows that are flying
Der the battle plain, there's fierce race
Ofythe death birds seeking booty.
Together they rush and dip and dart
In the midst of the bleak fields aching heart
There's lonely cross that marks the place
The black crows are swoopng over

The common powder puff may be
made into a small gift of real dainti-

sucker stick of childhood, covered
with rainbow-shaded ribbon is fast
ened securely to the puff Then, over
the outside of the puff, sew more rain

flowers. The decorative quality of the
ribbon is rivaled by the usefulness Of
the stick.
