ALETIIEA.


AletHea, though not in common
usage is a most important name. IL
comes from the Greek Alethia,
which in turn was evolved from the
Greek "a" and the word meaning
Ito hide" and thus may be trans
lated as truth" or sincerity
The first appearance of the name
is recorded in 1411 when Aletha. OF
Padua, lived Ii was Doua Maria
Aletea, a Spanish princess. for whom
Charles / of England journeyed 20
Spain while he was prince of Wales.
Alethea was the form which APP
peared in the famous Saville family
and was given vogue through its
prominence. But perhaps the most
famous and memorable Alethea was
the lady TO whom the captive cava-
lier penned the much-quoted lines:
stone walls do not Prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage
To Alethea is given the additional
interest of naming the youngest
bride known TO English history: IN
1863. at the age of nine, Alethea
Branding was married to a man
named Henry Hitch. The name
proved very.popular in England and
Ireland, where it is sometimes con-
traCted to Lefty.
Althea, meaning wholesome, has
no connection with Alethpa. The
former seems to have belonged sole
" to the unfortunate mother of
Meleager.
Coral is Alethea's talismanic
stone. 1t has the power to drive
away evil spirits. and to protect its
wearer from danger and disease.
Thursday is Alethea's lucky day and
five her lucky number

Fabrics in Combination
Give New Softness
THE idea Of combining heavy and
lightweight materials is an ex-
cellent one, because it gives US
chance to use many fabrics that are
beautiful in themselves but lack be-
coming softness. 1t is really sur
prising the different degrees of fiat
terry that fabrics have. So subtle
are these that it is difficult to define
them.

revers are bound with ribbon of
very soft blue. Fine hand hem
stitching is introduced into the re-

broidery in the same shade of blue

color. The design of the bodice may
be copied in navy blue satin or taffe-

The ailored Suit

lrSRANcE and America have
contradicted each other in
IL fashions to some extent dur
ing the last two years. The
80 point upon which they dis
.sreed was the length of skirts.
rhen came shoes, and the war be-
x.en the short and the long vamp
.sA waged until American shoe
auakers hit upon happy compro-
Mise between the two which proved
rry satisfactory to American
vou,en. Now it is the separate
waist.
The idea offa waist that contrast
a with the skirt was originally
smerican 1t was a long time be-
ARE we in this country could bring
to abandon the tailored
nit with a separate waist for the
,ss.piece dress. French women in
vars gone by never considered
themselves well dressed in cos
ume that had an upper portion of a
Material and color that contrasted
rth the skirt. Now the French
3rssmakers have turned their at
anton to the separate waist and to
dresses which have waists in decided
contrast to the skirts.
| The Blouse Acquires
IA New Importance,
las the tailored suit is likely to be
strong feature for the autumn,
7 the blouse acquires new Importance.
There are countless numbers of
young American women noted for
their good dressing who will hail
With delight the renewed popularity
/ Of the tailored suit because the
average woman looks better in a
costume of this sort than in any
gther.
The coats, with their well-tailored
shoulders and beautifully fitted
AIeeves-there is nowheref that we
lave better tailoring done than
night here in our own country
make women look trim and slender.
The only thing against the tailored
suit in the past was the difficulty in
procuring a blouse that looked as if
it were part of the costume, but
now that these are being made as
part Of this suit this objection is
overcome. In the modern three piece
| suit one really has a beautiful dress
With an accompanying jacket.
This increase in favor of the suit
and blouse, of course, does not mean
mat We are about to abandon tbs
Oue-piece dress. It simply means
that the tailored suit and the sepa-
rate waist will have a more impor-
'ant place than they have had for
! several years.
