SELECTION OF SPORT DUDS
In Making Choice It is Safe to Decide
on What Is Sensible and
Becoming.

The women of America rival those
of England in the way they wear their
sport clothes and the good judgment
with which they select them, asserts
a fashion writer. The increasing pop
ularity of sport clothes for everyday
wear has of course gained for them
great deal more Of the designers
attention. Many garment, such as
the sweater, which only a few years
ago was considered almost entirely
from the standpoint Of utility, has be-
come very important article in cOun-
try life. Creators who formerly would
have scorned the idea of wasting time
on the sweater now consider it we'll
worth while to spend any amount of
time in working out new designs in
these.
It is as important for a woman to
give a gEeat deal Of consideration TO
outing clothes as TO any part of her
wardrobe. Every detail should be care
fully thought out and the buying done
after the greatest deIibeTatiOn. 1t is
much easier to make mistakes in this
type of dress than in any other. Some
very ill-assembled clothes are worn
under the name of sport apparel. II
there is a question as to what Is cor
rect it is almost invariably safe to
decide on what is sensible and becom.

Typewriter for a Duke.

10 the matter of wedding presents
Queen Mary has introduced a vogue
Of giving something inexpensive but
useful. says the London Mail.
At the recent wedding of the duke
and duchess OF Alba the list of pres
ents showed that they had been the
recipients of a book and a pair of op-
era glasses from Queen Mary; but the
most original and unusual gift on the
list, especially for duke, was a type
writer.
Many Of those who were discuss
ing the wedding presents wondered
what a duke wanted Of a typewriter.
but this should be no cause for Won
der to Britishers, for their own
Princess Mary is a very efficient typist
and has herself written many letters
this way on behalf of her brother, the
prince Of Wales, whose secretary she
at one time constituted herself.

PINK SATIN DRESS.
Evening Gown Embroidered With
Bugle Beads and TuIle.
TWO Straps Are Used over Each
Shoulder to Hold the Gown
in Place.

An evening dress is Of pink satin
embroidered with opaque bugle beads
and pink tulle. The short-walsted
bodice is Of satin with double edg-
ing Of tulle at the top. Instead Of
single straps to hold the gown in
place, there are two over each Shout
der, both in the front and back. They
diverge from each other in ObliQue
lines. and fasten to the, tulle as we'll
as to the satin part of the bodice.
The material used is harrow silver
ribbon, studded at intervals with
rhinestones. The skirt consists of a
narrow foundation of satin and two
full-gathered Overskirts of tulle, fin
ished at the lower edges with silver
cord. The bugle beading is worked
on the satin bodice and the founda-
ton skirt in an elaborate scroll pat
tern. A large rose of a deeper hue
than the satin and tulle is placed at
one side of the bodice to add the fin
fishing touch.
Brilliant sapphire blue tulle and Sc
Quins are used for the development Of
another evening gown. The rather
lOOse-fitting bodice is cut to give Il
low waistline, and the girdle, which
is carelessly draped around it, is Of
crushed tulle. This slants down so
that it is lower over one hip, and here

Your Outline.

Learn to see yourself in silhouette.
This can be done by placing your mir
ror in such position that it shows
you as much in sharp outline as posi-
Bile, and to large extent obliterates
detail. In this way you can see if
your hat is too large or too small, if
your furs are too much for you, if
the way you dress your hair is becOm-

VEST VOGUE STILL FAVORED
Suits-Waistcoat and Blouse
May Be Combined.

The waistcOat, or vest of some sort,
is quite pronounced in suits. There IS
The short pointed vest of cloth, which
is really part of the coat itself, the
vest Of fur with high neck swathing
collar and the long walstcOat of a con-
trasting material. This is really a
blouse, as there is a back and sleeves
of white crepe de chine, the vest pOr-
ton being of white taffeta. However,
the idea is to exploit the vest, which
is made of a different material from
the blouse portion for this very pur-
pose, although what might be termed
as the blouse part cannot be said to be

TAKE TINE TO COMPLIMENT
AZ "oid Sd Howe" says, the Kicker
Really Does Not Gain Much
in the Long Run.

There are so many critics In the
press and on the platform that heaven
iEnews enough fault Is found with the
people. The really unusual thing is
a compliment without string TO It.
And there are million things to com
piiment unreserVedly.
Ia the storm Of indignation and
fauithnding. you often are almost
shocked to see thousands of decent
men and women. OF. communities that
are upright and progressive, and in
situations honestly and progressively
managed. There is so much fault
finding that you expect to find the
country going to the devil and thieves
and incendiaries on every street and
cross road. People actually find too
much fault with themselves and their
affairs. There is actually much to
commend everywhere.
You often hear people say, "The
kicker always gets the best Of it."
The kicker is man who is always
demanding more than is properly COM
Ing to him, and who Is often given
an extra herring to get rid of his
noise; but there Is nothing in the
popular belief that he gets the best
Of it. He may in small things, but the
best men in your community are not
kickers; no man ever made fortune
by kicking.
Fortunes are made by men who are
polite and agreeable. A kicker is a
man marked in every community to be
avoided, and given the worst of it
whenever possible.
A kicker may be given three for a
quarter when the regular price Is 10
cents straight, but he can't kick his
way into a big position or into real
success in anything.
What is the particular thing the peO-
pie are doing that is most harmful
and foolish? 1t would be interesting
to know. but probably we never will
know. since what some say is civiliza-
tons greatest blessing others say is
its greatest curse. So every one must
decide for himself, and woe unto him
who makes a mistake.
Most of this talk about helping the
under dog is sentiment; the under dog
does not actually receive much help

as the white and pink frocks.
Evening hats of lace are much in

bincd with metal cloth or fur, the
