CAY VELVET ROBES.
Fabric Is Most Fascinating and
Beautiful for Garment.
Material Is Dyed in Interesting coiors,
the Paler Shades Used for
underclcthes.

Bathrobes and negligees partake OF
the general simplicity and colorfulness
OF their sisters, the chenises and night
robes Some very fascinating robes
are seen, which, when held in the
hands, look Ike so many strips OF
straight material, when gathered about
the shoulders take on stunning shapes.
Velvet is one OF the most satisfactory
and beautiful Of the materials used
for these robes, for this fabric has
such a becoming way Of wrapping ~
self around a woman's figure. Then
velvet is dyed In such interesting col
ors-rhe octave Of the paler shades
used for the underclothes. They are
becoming robes, and the more SO be-
cause they are so perfect il their sim
plicity.
An especially interesting robe Is
made from three pieces Of velvet The
two side pieces are almost exactly
square; and then in the back there Is
a three-cornered piece for an insert 10
hold the other two sections together
and to send them draping interesting
ly toward the sides. The sleeves are
made by cutting holes In the middle
Of each side section, and then the
sleeve edges and the whole length OF
the front are bound with puffy white
marabou.

for they may be there or not, just as
one chooses. The whole point seems
10 be to have the color gorgeous and
the material rich and heavy, so that
the draping will be as sunptuous as
possible.
The bathrobes and lounging robes
follow, more or less, the lines OF the
outer wraps of the present day. They
are ample with regard to the material
used. They are flowing and graceful
in line; they cover the whole OF the
figure, with no part left to face the
cold uncovered. but they have no par
ticular standard shape TO call their
own. Each one is a creation In itself,
though so unaffected and simple Id

cREPEs FOR KIDDIEs' WEAR
Fabric 10 Seen In Party Dresses az
Well az Simple Daytime Frocks
With Smoking.

Crepe de chine is increasing In pop
ularity as a fabric for childrens
dresses. and Is seen in treatments that
vary from the elaborate party dress
with Spanish lace to the simple day
time frock with shocking. These
shocked crepe de chimes for very III
tie tots have been on the market Tor
some time, and now they are coming
In for the much larger child.
The transition from this shocked
style to the Mother Hubbard Is a very
easy one, and the two types are Dotn
included In a group which Is devei-
oped in pastel shades and in white
with colored stitching.
Party dresses are, Of course, the or
der of the day during these weeks
and the littlest girl may find frocks
inst as elaborate as her older sister,
if she does not favor the simple
STYLES that are designed for her. Her
frock will probably be sleeveless, ana

A REAL STRIKING MINER
woRkHoUsE CONDITIONS.

CHICAGO, June 15.-[Editor,
The West Virginian.l My atten-
ton has been called to your edi-
torial para graph with reference to
sending traffic violators to the
work-hortse In this article yod
state that the effect of sending
we1l-to-do and intelligent people to
the warehouses has been to awak-
en- their interest in the bad condi :
lions they have found in these in
stitutions.
I wish to state that my expert
ence of twenty-five years in oh.
serving conditions in the average
prison is that, they need wider in
terest on the part of all intelligen.
citizens.
Your suggestion reminds me OF
the experience of Upton Sinclair in
writing his book "The Jungle" The
purpose of that book was to call
attention to the bad working condi-
lions in the stock yards. The net
result was to enlist the interest of
the public, because it revealed the
possible contamination of the meat
consumed by the public under bad
working conditions. Mr.: Sinc1air's
observation in regard to the inter
est of the public in this phase of
the matter was Characteristic when
he said: 'EI aimed at the peoples
heart, and hit them in the. stom-
ach.'
If sending speeders to Jail will
result in striking vital spot in the
consciousness of the public, posi-
bly, better jails, work houses and
prisons may be secured.
Trusting your valuable journal
will be helpful in this direction, I
remain,
