light, say gray, upper section, and a
lower section of the black or dark
blue, q narrow belt of the darker tone
being used to hold them to semblance
of form about the waist line.
Evening dresses have their predilec-
ton for gray, and when it Is not ex-
actly gray then those tones of mauve
and light blue creep in and become
that shading between gray and some
more vivid color when one is not sure
under the night lights exactly what
the tone may be. There are layers and
layers of chiffon about these simple
little evening frocks, and sometimes
combined in such q subtle manner that
one is not sure where one tone leaves
off and the other begins. The skirts
are made in succession of frills or
in an arrangement of petal formations
so that they become just soft masses
of the becoming material. And as for
trimming, there is none, or perhaps it
is but band of ribbon about the
waist line or q bunch Of artificial
Gowers-just tiny little flowers. The
bodices are simply finished by edgings
of picoting, and the more often than
not there are 10 sleeves at all.
Evening Gowns of TuIIe,
AS always at this time of the year,
there are any number Of tulle evening
gowns to be seen. This season it Is
fGo oil hn
the most beautiful that have been seen
in long while. They are made up
over foundations of chiffon, while IN
dcrlying slips are often done in a con-
trasting color to provide variance of
tone.
Then there are the dyed laces for
evening gowns that are being worn a
great deal. They are combined either
with tulle or with chiffon and some
times with cotton net, but always the
material and the trimming seem tc
have been dipped in the same dye So
luton, for there is not a whit Of d.
vergence between their shades. There
is the popular frock that is made
with a skirt covered with dyed lace
rulings and with the plain little bod
ice made of chiffon in the same tone.
Then there is another model that has
a skirt made entirely of plated tulle
tiounces and q bodice made of the dyed
lace draped or fitted as the individual
figure may demand.
The dresses that are coming along,
the ones that the smart dressmakers
are showing for wear a little later in
the season, are those of taffeta with
trimmings of lace or organdie. These
are the frocks that will be so good for
street wear when the wearer becomes
too hot for a wrap of any sort. The
taffeta frocks, too, are tremendously
satisfactory for afternoon wear, for
they retain a freshness of line and
contour that is always pleasing. In
Paris Mt the Longchamps races there
were displayed a number Of taffeta
dresses of this sort with very full
skirts, sometimes rufIied over their en-.
tire surfaces.

Gray is the predominating color Of
the moment. If there is any doubt as
| to the truth of this sweeping state
ment writes New York fashion cor
respondent, then visit the smart res
| taurants at any hour of the day or
take a walk up Fifth avenue or any
other street and note what is seen.
| There Is so much of this shade, indeed,
| that one stops a moment to wonder
Just how long 1t will last and what
the next change in color will be.
There are signs pointing toward the
lighter shades of tan, for now and then
q champagne gown or coat or cape is
seen, and it brings a nice relief from
the preponderance of the various
tones of gray.
Just now if q costume is not all
gray from tip to toe then it seems to
take pride in having some touch of
gray about it, if it is only the feather
dropping from the brim Of the hat or
the shoes of gray worn with frOck
that is otherwise quite dark and in
conspicuous Stray, indeed, has taken
its place along with the shades of dark
blue and black as being an accepted
Out-of-dOorS color as well as O favOrite
tone for wear within doors. 1t is
good for the young and for the old.
In fact, 1t recognizes no class or dis
tinction as to age or stature. 1t is the
all around good color of the season,
and women are making the most of its
popularity to use it in every possible
way.
Hat, Shoes, Gloves in Gray.
One of the favOrite methods Of wear
ing gray when the whole costume is
not in tone is to have the hat and
shoes and gloves of that color, each of
them matching each other exactly in
tone. Not a few Of the gray silk
crepe dresses are adorned with fringe,
and this is always in the same tone
as the materials from which the frock
Is fashioned. Gray capes and those
of that color combined with one por-
ton of dark blue are among the smart
est that are to be seen upon the
streets. One is model fresh from the

per section is made in gray woolly ma
terial and the lower section is made
of some thick material in black en-
broidered with threads of the gray
drawn through it to form a plaid de-
sign. The cape is one of those new
lines that are quite scant in width and
perfectly straight in line, hanging from
a little yoke that fits the shoulders
snugly and supports a straight collar.
The hat worn with the cape shows
how large the hats can be worn when
they reach the limits Of the French
fashion for this season. Indeed, there
is no limit to the extremes of width
which they attain, and even then they
do not remain content, but must SUI
perimpose at that exaggerated line
trimming Of some sort that makes
them appear even wider. In this in
stance it is a loosely arranged POM
pom of stiff little feathers, but often
it is an ostrich puff or a bow of tulle
or q dropping feather or some stray
bits of flowers or fruit hanging from
the edge. The brims droOp either at
both sides or all the way round, as
the case may be. The trimmings are

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"GRoG."

A T FIRST glance there would
n appear to be little connec-
ton between the, word "gros-
grain" applied to heavy silks
and ribbons, and "grog," the
sailors slang for drink. But both
of them were connected with Adj
miral Edward Vernon Of the
British navy, the man who
gained fame for the capture of
Porto Bello during the war with
Spain in 1879 and for whom
Mount Vernon, the home of
Washington, was named.
To the men Of the British
navy, however, he owes his
greatest fame to the fact that
he was the first to order rum
and water served to the men Of
his squadron, beginning this
practice on board his own ship,
the Burford. Previous to
this time, the admiral had ac-
quired the name of "Old Grog,'
from his habit of strolling along
the quarterback in "grogram"
cloak - "grogram" being the
British sailors corruption of the
term "gros- grain" Because of
the nickname of the man who
originated the serving of rum in
the navy, the drink was called
"grog'-and "grog" 1t Is, to this
day.

HUMAN NATURE

THERE is one boast that is pretty
l. nearly universal. You probably
never met a man or woman who, If oc-
casion gave opportunity, would not say
with considerable show of pride, "Well,
know human nature"
They mean when they say 1t that
they think they can solve the causes
of human action, that they can ac-
curately point out the why's and
wherefores that influence our relations
one with another, our acts and our at
titudes.
Frequently these readers of human
nature will ascribe questionable
motive for any kind of an act, good,
bad or Indifferent. They would have
you think that the chief force at work
in the world is evil, the commanding
passion selfishness.
1t isn't true. There is a good deal
of good in the world.
The great majority of people are
animated and influenced by high
motives and splendid desires.
The really bad man or woman is the
exception.
Human nature as a whole is of a
kind that really makes life worth liv-
ing.
Elihu Burritt, the learned black
smith, wrote down this wisdom: mo
human being can come into this world
without increasing or diminishing the
sum total of human happiness"
After all, the most of our lives and
the most of our endeavors are to help
in the general scheme Of things.
The corner grocer may be cross and
surly sometimes, but if you only knew
it he sent a basket filled with things
street whose husband is sick in the
hospital Human nature in his case is
dominated by good.
And as it is with the grocer so it
is with the butcher, the baker and the
candle-stick maker, with the minister
and the sinner, with everybody.
1t is a splendid thing, a helpful
thing, to seek the good side of people,
to find out their better qualities and
encourage them.
There is some bad in the best of us.
There is a lot of good in the worst
of us.
Human nature is very much like a
garden. In it we plant seeds.
Some sprout and grow into splendid
Towering plants that give everybody
pleasure. Some come up useless weeds
If we plant kindness and charity and
love, the garden will be worthwhile.
If We plant envy and greed and
malice and hatred and jealousy, it will
not prove q source Of much joy to any,
body.
Nobody can plant or tend the garden

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
Bv F. A. WALKER

but you. Nobody can take from you
the credit for the flowers and you can
not shift to another the blame for the
growths that are worthless.
Try to know the good side of human
nature. Try to cultivate it and en-
courage it.
If a motive is in question give it
the benefit of the doubt and believe 1t
was good until it is proven to be bad.
1t says in the book of Genesis that
when the Creator considered his work
He pronounced that at was good"
Unless there is a greater power than
the Creator it must have remained
good.
Anyhow, it is sort of satisfying to
believe that Good is more powerful
than Evil and unless we have to
change, let us keep on thinking so.
