THE TWO-TONE|

BY Rita Stuyvesant-

THERE are many delightful
two-tone sport frocks in the

sewing.
A striking sports frock was re-
Gently worn and the upper section
was Of white Canton crepe, with
Jenny neck and short kimono
sleeves. Attached to this blouse at
the hips, was a straight two-piece
skirt of grass-green crepe. Pointed
pockets cut bias were used, and
a slim girdle of green completed
the attractive dress. Green and
white sport ties and a white soft
sport hat were charming neces.
sories.
Unusual is a frock Of checked
flannel combined with crepe de
chime. The lower section Is of
white flannel double crossed with
raspberry stripes. and the upper Is
cut from the white crepe de chine.
A novelty girdle Of raspberry tint
ed girdle linked together is used at
a low line.

II the gray crepe de chine Is ac-
Gordon pleated and attached to a
simple straight little bodice of
lovely old blue. A bit Of gray or
silver stitchery on the blue will
lend 4 distinctive touch.
You will notice that these frocks
may be made from two other frocks
remodeled; many clever made-over
dresses this season are really very
smart. For instance, a green linen
slip-on frock of the sleeveless type
was ripped and the lower part re-
cut. New white linen made an up
per blouse with short kimono
sleeves. and this was attached to
the green linen at the hips. From
the scraps OF green a lovely roll
collar and cuffs were cut and
narrow white kid belt confined the
fullness at the waist.

An agreeable hour followed; but
Bob played badly, and found that
his eye had lost it's sureness. His
hand was uncertain, too, and this
lack of coordination disgusted
him. He was sure that with a
steadying drink he could beat
Jim. and eventually he proved it:
but, mindful of his resolution, he
compromised on beer, which, jim
agreed. could not reasonably be
called an intoxicant.
On his way to the theater Bob
chewed cinnamon bark, and when
he kissed Lorelei he held his
breath.
This was the first of several
pool matches. and after a while
Bob was graufied to find that
beer in moderation left no dis

| was tired and was so glad to be at
the end of my journey, so l couldNget
a good rest.
/ had a good birth and slept real
good for never being on the train to
sleep before. ! saw lots of new things
along the way that interested me, and
the trip didn't seem to be so long as it
was going to be wnen We ie,t ,au-
caster. l met man.t nice people on the
train My daughter had my meals
brought to me from the diner. l will
like it here better after I get acquaint-
have everything l want, and as l want
it. I also feel better here than l did
in Lancaster since the first OF July
last.
The folks went fishing Monday and
caught some nice trout from II to IA
inches long. They were sure beau
ties. I was glad when | got the dear
old Herald with all the Grant county
news.
The weather has been dark and
cloudy the last few days and this
morning it's showing and seems quite
cold.

you for all your kindness to me when
I was in Lancaster. l shall always
remember you, and think of you often.
