The two-tOned frock is an econ
omy as we'll as a new fashion.
Particularly is it inexpensive if
made at home for old materials
can be utilized. The best part of
two old frocks may often make one
stylish new one this year. Often
just a yard or two of lovely figur-
ed crepes or silks for sleeves of
fancy blouses may transform an
old dress into a new mode.
This frock, however, is from the
hands Of one OF the leading de-
signers of the country. 1t is a
beige and black combination with
a long loose blouse and long tight
skirt. Beige crepe trimmed with
loops Of black soutache braid forms
the blouse with its Japanese sleeves
and black satin crepe with a beige
insert forms the skirt. Loops Of
the braid trim the skirt also.
Note the bobbed coiffure on the
model. 1t doesn't look incongru-
GUS with the long skirt, does it?
Note, also, the fad for light colored
hose which emanates from Paris.

Sikh muttered something about
enlarging the arena to permit all

tend the fight free. Then suddenly
turning to one Of his trainers he
said: Pour some cologne over his
head" pointing to his fellow citi-
zen.
The trainer emptied half a quart

ecstacy, the visiting Senegalese
went away happy.
He got no pass for the fight.

Stockholm.-Swed eight-hour
day, acceptable to the laboring ele-
ment but not popular with employ
ers, will be continued under . pro-
visional law for the next three
years, if the recommendation just
made by the social board is accept
ed by the government.
The social board. assisted by the
board of trade and the delegation
working for information social leg
islation. was instructed by the gov
eminent to investigate the general
effectiveness of the eight-hour day
! in Sweden and now report that the
time is not ripe either for perman-
ent enactment or adjustment, rec
ommending, therefore, that the pro-
visional measure be continued for
another three years.
Swedish employers have In gen.
eral opposed the establishing Of
uniform short day on the ground
that the cost of production has
been increased, and that 1t has led
to difficulties in those industries
where the output fluctuates. where
production is intense during some
weeks and slack during others.
Similar disadvantages have arisen
in all seasonal trades. A peculiar
circumstance in this country is that
owing to the latitude, the days are
unusually long in summer and
short in winter. Thus where work
can be done during daylight as in
the building trades, an eight-hour
day works hardship for the en-
ployer and limits the amount Of
building possible during the year.
Keeping the above objections In
mind the social board has recon-
mended that the hours of over
time allowed be increased from
20 per month to 30, and from a
120 per year to $50. With this nex-
Utility in the law it is believed the
disadvantages Of more rigid sys-
TEN can be obviated.
The workers declare that the
labor efficiency has increased un-
der the provisional law. They are
enthusiastic over the better stan
dard of living which 1t has brought,
giving them more time for social
and domestic life, as we'll as for
study, recreation, and general self
improvement.
