The evolution of the smock would
make an interesting study. When 1t
first reached this country some few
years ago it was introduced by ar
lists and became something very
smart for fashionable wear at stu
dio parties. Then it developed and
was worn for gardening, sports, and
formalelawn parties. In fact it be-
came a very universal garment and
for time took the place of the long
popular MILDLY. Today it is being
replaced in most wardrobes by the
overblouses and so it has developed
new use. Now it takes the place
of the kimono, the negligee, or morn
Ing robe,
Some very beautiful smocks are
being designed for just such wear.
They are much prettier than the
usual morning frocks and much more
formal and heater than the kimono.
Here is one of the newer models
which would make charming blouse
for morning wear. 1t is fashioned of
white crepe embroidered in black
worsted. 1t is made with kimono
sleeves, which may bel long or short,
as one desires. Here they are long,
but they would be very comfortable

embroidery. tie of self material

Airship Travel Abroad.

Passenger traffic by air has be-

on the continent and has demon
strated it's success as a commercial
proposition.
With a total of more than 10000
passengers carried during the first
year Of civil flying in England, there
was but one fatal accident. The
adapation~of the flying machine to the
purposes of trade is but a step and
British officials, declaring they al
ready have conquered the air, find
their immediate task now to be the
exploitation Of their success in the
Interest Of commercial development.
During this one year British filters
have carried 116,49S pounds Of goods,
and more than 100000 worth OF
imports and exports were transport
ted by air between England and the
continent.
In Germany there are Is air trans
port companies, and the number is
increasing monthly. For a country
that insists it can not comply with
the economic provisions of the peace
treaty this is a I'd larkable industrial

INSANE MAN KILLS FAMILY.
Woman Had Refused to Leave De-
mented Physician.


Muskegon. Mich, Sept. 17.-Dr.
Otis W.. Sedgwick, aged about 40,
a practicing physician of Whitehall,
lies in a, stupor in his cell in the
county Jail. unaware, the attending
physicians believe, that early today
he choked to death his wife and
3 year old daughter, Ruby, and then
threw their bodies on to the lawn. The
doctor has not spoken a word since
he was found sleeping in his home
this morning, after the bodies had
been discovered and officers had
broken into the home.
DR.. Samuel A. Jackson declared
that Sedgwick's condition was nat
ural one, due to the reaction of the.
mental crisis Of the morning. This
statement was made after officials
had declared the belief that Sedg-
wick was shamming. The latter had
to be carried into his cell and also
from the house to the automobile.
Police are awaiting the arrival Of
DR.. George L. Kilbourn of Forest
port, N. Y, father OF Mrs. Sedg-
wick, secretary Of the mayor Of New
Haven. Conn.,, and brother of the
doctor. Both have wired they are
on their way to Muskegon.
Frank Hurd was going to his work
early yesterday when he saw the
yard Of the Sedgwick home. He
spread the alarm and deputies who
arrived found Mrs. sedgwick, fully
dressed. and Ruby, lying her arms,
where the crazed physician had
placed them after the death battle
within the home. The house is next
to the main street Of the little vi1-
lage.
Officers broke into the home, ex-
pecting to find the doctor dead. They
found him sleeping, however, and in
the next room a crib containing the
other child, Gordyne, aged Is months
also sleeping and unframed. Dr.,
Sedgwick was rushed to the county
Jail at Muskegon, sixteen miles away.
The death battle between the
doctor and his wife took place in the
doctors office. Hairpins and other
articles were found. But the battle
was uneven. Mrs. Sedgwick was a
little woman, weighing not more than
100 pounds, while the doctor is quite
powerfully built. Besides being
choked, the woman was struck upon
the head.
Mrs. Emma Peck called at the doc
tors home at II o'clock Wednesday
night for the physician. Mrs. Sedg-
wick answered the door and said that
her husband was i'll in bed. Officials

Thousands of women have kidney and

,Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or

Pain in the back, headache, loss of am

toms of kidney trouble.

Lingerie frocks will be more popular
this summer than ever before, accord
Ing to a prominent fashion correspond
ent. The designs are very simple, fine
handwork trimmings furnishing their
principal charm. Many Of them are of
the chemise type with trimmings OF
drawn threads and hemstitching. When
they are made with a waistline II IL
placed low on the hips.
The short sleeve is so comfortable
for warm weather that It will prevail
for the summer, but fashion leaders
believe that Its life Is almost spent
and that we may expect long sleeves
In the autumn. Such sleeves as are
long at the present time are usually
of the flowing type.
In materials voiles, batistes, cotton
crepes, dotted swisses, ginghams and
organizes are used, as well as hand
kerchief and heavy linens. The last
named are not quite rs popular as the
thinner materials, because the present
mode is for soft and dainty effects and
the heavy linens are not adaptable TO
these, Handkerchief linen is now so
sheer and fine that IT is almost like
wolfe. The tints in both the voiles and
the linens are very delicate.
A Soft, Blue Linen.
One shade Of blu, In which the
sheer handkerchief linen may be OBJ
tanned is perfectly lovely. 1t is a
soft blue tinged with red. The frock
made of this blue linen is good exam
pie Of trimming evolved from the
fabric itself. The knife-plaited skirt is
very short and has jabot ruffles laid In
fine plaits with an inch-wlde hem hem
stitched in white thread. Frills on
the waist are trimmed in the same way
and hemstitching finishes the short
sleeves. A soft linen sash Is knotted
about the waist. This model Is equally
effective when developed in delicate
pink linen.
A fluffy frock for a young girl Is
yellow handkerchief linen and has a
straight, short skirt with tiers of
flounces at the sides only. These are
piped with white and extend from the
waistband to the hem almost like ruff
fed side panels. The waist is cut
with short kimono sleeves and "
shaped neck. A surplice collar Of
white linen bound with the yellow
material crosses in the front, the ends
slipping under a narrow sash which
ties In bow at the back.
Chen,ise Effects.
Many imported dresses are Of fine
voiles. These, too, are in chemise
form. Frenchwomen like their lin
gerie frocks made in chemise effect.
In America, while most women prefer
a waistline in dresses of cotton fabric,
lingerie dresses OF this type have been
adopted to considerable extent
Cotton crepe has never until recently
been given serious consideration for
dresses. Heretofore we thought it
rather ordinary. Now it is made into
such lovely models that we have
changed our opinion about 1t. This is
an interesting example of how the sim
plest Of fabrics gain distinction when
made in smart designs.
