EVERY BLOUSE HAS ITS DAY
outorowth Of the shirtwaist, Made Of
Cotton, supersedes Those
Made Of Silk.

Blouses Of cotton fabrics for years
occupied positions at the top and bot
tom Of the scale Of things sartorial,
with silks, georgettes, Hchiffons. etc.,
bridging the gap. At the bottom were
to be found machine-made blouses OF
lawn, coarse wolfe and similar mate
rails. trimmed with cheap lace or en-
broidery. These blouses were worn by
women who called them "shirtwaists"
and who wore them with serviceable
dark wool fabric skirts In winter and
with inexpensive white tub skirts In
summer. At the very top were found
the models made Of the finest and
sheerest Of cottons, entirely fashioned
by hand and trimmed with real lace
or hand embroidery.
During the past few seasons this
order has been changing trife; this
summer. of 1920 it is safe to say that
cotton blouses dominate the entire
field. The low price models are still
to be found, and Of course the very
expensive ones are by no means out Of
the machine work enter into many
lovely garments. Style designers are
giving as much attention to novelty
styles to be developed in cotton as
they do to any Of those meant for silks
Of eithe- sheer or heavyweight.

FRO WARD OFF sun
Varied Array Of Parasols and
Shades for Summer.
Every Sort Of Material 70 Brought
Into uso-piainnese q Handles

The ways Of the parasol are a

item Of our wardrobe, and. glancing
into the shop windows today. we can
see It disporting itself in as many Off.
ferent moods as the dresses with
which it is intended to be carried. OBJ

tian Science Monitor.
There Is the fussy little Victorian
affair, a thing Of ruched and frilled
chiffon which is small and very bonnie
when open, with a long slender ferrule
and q stick terminating in a pear
shaped crystal handle. Another shape
has great number Of spokes.~ and
opens out very fiat something like a
Japanese umbrella. It Is covered with
printed ninon with q plain border and
the handle is also covered with the
same material. A variation Of this
same shape is one covered with plain
ninon with a border Of contrasting
color. and dotted about on 1t are en-
broidered butterflies with outstanding
wings, looking as II they had just
alighted there.
Yet another within Of the moment Is
the fat parasol. Its stick Is short and
thick, and its ferrule stumpy. and even
its spokes have fat white tips; In
fact one would imagine that its ambi-
ton was to look as much like q
'gamp" as possible and 1t succeeds
very well. It is quantity attractive,
however, and 1t has the advantage Of
being "1ifferent." One particular
specimen has a black stick with a
carved ivory handle and round 1t is
wound sealing-wax red cord and
tassel to match the red silk with
which It is covered. It bangles from
the wrist, being too short to be car
ried comfortably In any other way.
Besides these there are many other
parasols made Of every sort Of mate
rial. Metal fabrics are used a good
deal and one imagines that they will
look very pretty glistening in the sun
light, Then for the beach and the

Keep Up Compression.

Modern cars are equipped
with electric self-starters and do
not have the crank handle in
stalled. Without q crank ham
die it is difficult properly to test
the compression of each cylin-
der. Oftentimes a motor is run
with poor compression because 1t
Is too much trouble to attach the
crank handle and test the COM
preston Of each cylinder. II the
compression Of each cylinder Is
not kept up to standard there Is
bound to be more or less Of a
pound in the engine, which is
injurious to all the working
parts, and especially to the
bearings.

FIRST MILES Of
BIG IMPORTANCE
Greatest Care in Handling of Car
Called for Until Parts Have
Worn In Somewhat.
ENGINE DEMANDS attention
Make Thorough Study Of instruction
Book and Familiarize Yourself
With Every Grease Cup
Drive lnteIIiqently.

The dealer has just left your new
car ut the door, and you invite the
family to 60 for short ride. Doesn't
the engine sound powerful and quiet?
Your tests all are met satisfactorily,
and you realize that it means sun,
flowers and red blood and that it will
pay its cost in health for you and
yours. But-are you interested In
your cars health? Do you intend to
keep it fit from the start7 OF course
you do.
After the first trip take a wrench
and go over every nut and bolt on the
car to make certain that all are tight.
The engine parts should get especial
attention, for defect here will result
in misfring and poor carburetion.
Make your inspections frequently for
the first 1000 miles, until the car will
have worn in somewhat. Then you
can relax your vigilance bit.
Study instruction Book.
Make thorough study Of the in
struction book. Look at the lubrica-
ton chart and familiarize yourself
with the location Of every grease cup
and oil hole. Then see that all are
kept filled properly. This will insure
against worn parts or scored bearings
and, incidentally, allow you to learn
the fabrication system thoroughly.
When an automobile is built the en-
CINE has been run but little, and the
parts are fitted tight to make them
snug after the stiffness has worn off,
The car will not show much speed un-
til these parts wear in. So don't ex-
coed Is miles an hour until your
speedometer registers 1000 miles. By
so doing each part will find ITSELF
and you will be perfectly safe in ex-
ceeding 80 miles an hour II you force
a car before it has obtained the 1000
niles 1t will result in a noisy engine
and premature repairs.
Drain off the oil every 500 miles
and replace it with fresh. You will be
surprised at the quantity Of grit and
dirt that comes from the crank case.
The bearings and pistons throw of
small particles of metal which, unless
you remove them with tho old oil, will
work into the bearings and cause
trouble. Perhaps your engine will
show tendency to overhesst when
new. Don't let this worry you, for its
merely the friction caused in wearing
off the rough surfaces Of the engine.
Drive intelligently and just give her
plenty Of oil and water, and soon the
trouble will disappear.
Remove looeeness.
Every now, and then the new ear
should be lacked up, the wheels shaken
and the looseness removed. As the
bearings become accustomed to their
work the need for adjustment will go
away.
Be careful Of your gasoline adjust
ment on the dash. Do not leave 1t
rich" any longer than is necessary,
for this results in an extra amount Of
gasoline getting into the engine, which
will, Of course, thin the oil.
The body cleaning should be done
very carefully for the first month or
80. Use simple flow Of water with
out spray or force. II you don't the
finish will be married. The longer you
drive without unnecessary cleaning,
the harder the varnish will become.
