Chemise Frocl1s Refuse To Vanish
The French couturiers have almost
exhausted their resources, trying to
Danish the straight chemise frock
from favor, and have drawn from
every sort of historical costume and
from every country and from every
type of peasants garb to find the ar
resting and irresistible new mode that
will send the chemise frock to the
background. But they have not sue
ceeded yet! Womankind absolutely
refuses to give up the straight lines
that are SO becoming, and the COM
Portable sort OF costume that can be
put on with least possible fastenings.
The chemise frocks is as comfy as a
nightgown or a negligee, and as easy

This season the straight, limp
chemise dresses are dropped over
rather snug-fitting underdresses which
hold the figure in trimmer lines than
have been the fashion for the past
two years. The undertook is sleeye-
less and has usually a waistband,
though some of these slips are cut
princess style. The outer frock has
a paneled or slashed skirt which re-
veals the underskirt: or it may be in
tunic length, with the underskirt
showing beneath. Two frocks of the
type are pictured: A black satin
chemise model embroidered with gray
silk in a Chinese willow pattern, and
a navy tricotine frock with chemise

Flowing sleeves Or Dropping Guns
Few OF the fall frocks have sleeves
chopped off to show the elbow though
here and there such model appears.
Most frocl1s sleeves are in three
quarter length and flow outward to-
ward the edge, the width in some
cases being exaggerated and the sleeve
showing a deal of trimming. Droop-

tight undersleeves which are attached
to the fitted underslip of the frock.
This effect is shown in the costume OF
navy blue tricotine just referred to.
The lace sleeve frill and the lace coll
lar are attached to fitted underslip,
and also the vestee of fine hand

tunic is loose at the waistline and is
drawn in under sash that passes
twice around the figure and has ends
heavily weighted with bead fringe-a
very graceful arrangement. Another

Pockets The Chief Interest
One of the new coat dresses for
fall is pictured; a model in black
serge as simply made as a summer
gingham-all but the pockets! You
could not miss those pockets which
are very elaborate detail. They
are Of pale gray cloth embroidered
with black and white silk and are of
peculiar shape-like an ace of spades.
They make the simple little frock
extremely individual and arresting.
The long collar and panels, and the
cuffs and vestee are of white broad

Not to Leo Barnard Clark
He's a one-legged umpire in the
Blue Ridge League.
And even the losing team will tell
you that he knows his business.
Before the war Clark hung his
hat in Laconing, Nd. And he had
a strong leaning toward athletic
events.
-. Basketball was one OF his long
suits-baseball the other. In the
winter he shot baskets for a Lacon-
ing team and in the summer he ca
vorted around the diamond with a
club in the old Potomac League.
. Then he joined the 2sth Division
and went overseas.
At Hill 2O4, on the Marne. dur
ing an advance a bullet hit Clark in
the left leg and he dropped. He was
taken prisoner and held FIVE months.
His leg had TO be amputated.
After the war Clark went TO Bal
timore and got a new limb.
Athletics still appealed TO him and
ne started umpiring in a schoolboy
league. Spectators marveled at
the way he followed a base runner
on close plays.
