MORE DAINTY EACH SEASON
Chiffon NeuIIgees, Dear to MiIady's
/ Heart, Add Interesting Touch
60 the Wardrobe.

II IL q relief to refresh ones ward
robe with dainty garments, such as
evening wraps, tea gowns and negli-
gees. Summer interpretations of these
have such a different character from
the winter models. Then there are
always the brides, who help to create
q demand for these dainty things, and
designers display new and lovelier gar
ments each season.
All lace coats ere smart for the
brides lounging robe, made with softly
crushed ribbon collar and sometimes
worn over slip Of silver cloth. This
gives a pleasing variation from the
former slip Of plain color.
Lace Is equally rEaart used as trim
ming ON fllmy chiffon. and need not
form the entire coat. 1t appears some
times in panel treatment, a lovely yell
low chiffon model using a deep inset
panel Of margot chiffon down the en-.
tire front length, while two panels
Aoat from the shoulders in the back
and trail along the floor. Another
pses inset lace to form a yoke which
extends down over the shoulders In
points. Silver lace also appears, form
ing corsage and short sleeves above a
chiffon skirt and topped by jaunty
chiffon coat.
All chiffon models are visions Of
lOveliness. They usually exploit the
uneven line. and many show crushed
ribbon girdIes which pass through Sits
In the upper layer Of chiffon. Others
pose the top chiffon layer over a
foundation Of charmeuse.

An English clergyman now visiting
this country tells a story of an emf
nent Church of England ecclesiastic
now dead, who on the occasion of the
gathering of the British association,
Invited the members to an entertain

card to one member of the association,
who, thinking that he was the vic
tim of an oversight, mentioned the
matter to mutual friend.
Il will speak to the bishop and make
that right" said the friend. 'It was a
mere accident"
He did speak to the bishop. to this
effect:
"By some mischance, Professor
Jones has not been invited to the en-
tertainment. OF course you mean him

bishop. Nothing can induce me to

IN FALL CLOTHES
Extensive Use Of Bead GirdIes
Feature Of New Garments.
Jet Attractlvely Combined With Bright
Blue and Red In the More
Practical Numbers.

Dropped walstlines and longer skirts
are being held responsible for many
fall features, not least of which is the
extensive use Of bead girdles. The last
Paris arrivals show girdles In truly
beaded style and in narrower devel-
opment than we have known them In
the past. Large bead balls are used
In carrying out the sash effects OF
many numbers, and these ornaments
seem to be a typical note In advance
showings.
The latest imports being displayed
include many unusual tassels, that
join hexagon jet beads with the plain
match sticks to produce an irregular
and very decorative trimming. One
trimming that offers a novel feature
is beaded banding In scalloped effect
that comes several inches deep. This
banding is formed of prominent nail
head ornaments woven in latticed ef-
feet with smaller beads. One Of the
bead girdles that is at the moment
receiving considerable attention In
Paris, is a Jet linked chain number of
large dimensions.
Many tiny Jet beads are so worked
as to form large link and many of
these are Joined in chain fashion to
form the girdle. So real is the aspect
Of this model that one looks for an
anchor finish instead of which deep
Jet tassels are used.
Instead of nailheads one finds the
extensive use of whole beads being
made in many Of the new belts and
girdles. Jet is invariably combined
with bright blue and red In the more
practical numbers. Many Of these
belts have been created solely for use
with cloth dresses of tailored nature,
while iridescent Jet beads are en-
ployed In making many more intri-
cate girdles, suitable for evening wear.
Crystal, Jet and gold are all COM
bined in one distinctive belt that ends
In sash effect with a long pendant

example, Of the insidlous way In which

In front Of large, gaudy canvas, the
artist waved his hand contemptuously
at 1t and said:
"There-that's pretty had, don't you

thus to cover up his ignorance of art
awful Why, It's a crimep

that's the best picture In the exhibit

coL0RS FOR THE SWEATERS
Beautiful Greens and YeIIows are In
cluded In the Charming Array
Now Being Offered.

The silk sweater-which, after all
is said and done, is the expression of
the de luxe sweater that retains its
championship title after all others
have gone down under the count-ap-
pears in an array Of delightful colors
and patternings this season.
A special feature was made Of these
sweaters in an exceptionally charming
collection of colors and patternings.
Practically every color is admitted
into the assemblage. although the ex-
ceedingly bright tones are passed
over. Beautiful greens and yellows are
included In the array, both In pale and
more intense degrees of the colors.
One of the loveliest numbers was
done In deep buff color, with width

Concrete Finds
Many New Uses

ures. In 1880 production of Portland
cement In the United States was only
$1,000 barrels; In 1890 it was 335, 200
barrels; in 1900, 8,482, ,020 barrels; in
1910, 76549,951 barrels and In 1920,
100. 100000 barrels.
One hundred million barrels of ce-
ment-the 1920 output-would be suf-
f1cient to build nine transcontinental
highways, eight inches thick and elgh-
teen feet wide from New York to San
Francisco. Or 1t would build 1000, ,00O
six-room concrete houses with a porch
and sidewalk thrown in. Or 1t would
build twenty-three and one-half great
pyramids like those Of Egypt. Or II
would build a sidewalk five feet wide
and four inches thick that would reach
from Washington to the moon-a dis
tance Of 243,O00 miles,
The quantity OF the output is shown
by the fact that In 1921 the industry
required nearly 100000 tons of coal.
The amount of coal burned in manu-
featuring barrel Of cement varies
from $50 to 200 pounds, so that when
purchasing a sack of cement the con-
sumer is paying for nearly fifty
pounds Of coal.
Almost any one who builds nova
days uses concrete in some form or
other. Concrete piles are the founda-
tions of thousands of our large office
buildings and the same material goes
into the skeleton and framework. In
bungalow or skyscraper, concrete is
as common to the contractor as flour
is to the baker.
During the last ten years Portland
cement has revolutionized the paving
industry. Thousands of miles of con.
crete roads have been built and every
year sees an increasing number con-
tracted for. Last year almost 5000
miles of 18-foot concrete highway were
constructed in this country. City
streets are paved with concrete, alleys
are paved with the same material,
curbs and cutters, sidewalks, fence
posts, ornamental lighting standards,
park benches, statuary, swimming
pools-intO every sort of civic improve
ment cement enters in some way or
other.
Portland cement has accomplished
wonders for the farmer. The same
kind of cement that paves his roads,
and gives him access to his markets
is used in constructing his house and
barns. 1t is used for silos and water
troughs, replacing the old wood struc-
tures. Hogs are given concrete feed
ing floors so that no feed is lost in
the mud. Concrete smoke houses care
for the meat and concrete Ice houses
hold the winter crop Of ice. Concrete
corn cribs save corn from rats and
mice and concrete well platforms and
hitching posts are thrown In for good
measure.
The railroads turn to Portland ce-
ment for myriad Of uses. Bridges,
abutments, trestles, retaining walls,
grade crossings, platforms. station

Flowers or Ribbon Ruchlng Are Used
on This Type of Headeear by
Paris Women.

"Of the hats seen in smart places
nowadays, writes a Paris correspon-
dent, none is more favOrite than the

commodating that 1t can be and is
worn with almost any color Another
type of hat is made entirely from
black vanished lace, tightly stretched
on wire Sometimes the black lace

than a narrow band of black satin
ribbon with bit of silver above It,

presence of gold beads which form

frock. One charming little dress seen
recently had foundation Of palest
pink taffeta, with oversllp of white

knots of pink ribbon flowers. The
overdress was slashed to form panels,
and each panel was edged with the
soft lace. Another party frock was Of
yellow organdle, much ruffied about
the skirt and with 9bloomers ruffie
trimmed. A self-fabric sash was tied
at the back in a fiaring bow.

Quescon of Etiquette

Dear Cynthia-Two couples went 10
a hotel for an evenings entertainment
where dancing was included in the pro.
gram During, the course of the eve
ming the young ladies left the table for
a few minutes, and while away one OF
the young men asked lady friend OF
his at another table to dance with him.
In the meantime his lady friend re.
turned to their table and was obliged to
sit with the other couple until her
gentleman friend finished dancing with
his acquaintance.
What I wish to inquire is did this
Young man commit breach Of eti-
uuette in asking his acquaintance 10
dance. inasmuch as he had no assurance
of how the young lady who accom-.
panied him to the hotel would be enter
tanned during his absence?
! also would like to know how, II
this young man wished to dance with
the acquaintance, IL could be arranged
so as TO be strictly good etiquette?
IN DOUBT.
Il was not a breach of etiquette
strictly speaking. for the young man TO
dance with an acquaintance while the
girl he had taken TO the party was
absent But the girls should not have
left the table alone II they did. the
men with them should have escorted
them 10 the door of the ballroom ana
have waited for their return to take
them back to their table.
Unless another man asked the CIR!
to dance and 80 left her partner free
he should not have danced with others
not in the party.
