Sea-Gull Coed Provider.

AS an illustration of how nature
furnishes even birds with the food
getting instinct, consider the sea-gull
and sea urchin. The sea urchin is a
species of shellfish, found in the waters
OF the south, with a shell that is COW
cred by forest of sharp protection
against natural enemies. But the sea-
gull in some way found out that the
little shellfsh with the sharp points
was a tender morsel, once the shell
could be penetrated. Unable to crack
the shell with its bill, the bird has
method that is as ingenious as 1t
is effective. 1t picks up the urchin by
one of the spines and carries it to a
height of 80 or more feet over a hard
beach or ledge, then drops the burden.
The fall usually smashes the shell
Of the urchin, and the gulrs next
meal is thus assured.

THE CREPE GOWN UMAD0RMED
Frock Made Of Canton Material in
Popular Caramel Shade, With
out Trimming.

Just how attractive a gown made
entirely of one fabric and practically
without trimming can be is shown by
a frock made of canton crepe in the
popular caramel shade. The only
touch OF contrasting color is In the
thread used to hemstitch the tucks
and form the little openwork border
around the neck. Brown silk thread
is used for this purpose.
Both back and front sections of the
frock have rather wide tucks running
practically their entire width. -Four
panels, two at the side front and two
at the side back, are laid in inch-wide
fiat plaits; the sections between these
panels are plain. The sleeves are
about three-quarter length and slight
ly lared. These also are finished with
tucks. a sash belt, 10 be tied at the
side or back, holds the frock in at the
walstline.
With this frock is worn a small hat
Of brown braid or taffeta trimmed
with foliage or flowers carrying out
the color scheme of the frock.
The crepe weave silks are used TO
make dresses that are smart and prac-
teal and so light in weight that they
may be worn with comfort throughout
the summer, as the majority of them
are entirely unlined. The leaning TO
straight lines and 10 simplicity in style
design is very friendly to the develop
ment Of unlned frocks, as few are so
closely fitted TO the figure as TO re-
quire lining unless 1t is actually pre-
ferred, and certainly the unllned
dresses are much easier 10 get into
than the ones that are lined--another
advantage in this age of hurry and
furry.

Decoration Featured on Waists
for Tailored Use.
The Jabot Effect or Ruffles In
Straight Rows Afford an
Interesting Arrangement.

Well-dressed women i'm search OF
smart blouses 10 wear with navy blue
suits would undoubtedly apply the
term Of "real" to one group of offer
ings noted recently, for they are gem
timely attractive. one of the most
original designs was a frilled over
blouse. Frills are almost exclusively
offered on waists for tailored USE and
a most agreeable surprise is waiting
for those who have never seen them
In combination with finished over
blouse pattern
One manufacturer has included this
frilled overblouse in several highly
specialized models. White. flesh and
bIsque are the color mediums. and n
particularly rich effect is found In
those Of blsque tone because Of the
shaded lace that is dyed TO match II
so perfectly.
In developing these frilled styles,
one is offered in a typical jabot effect
edged with lace in scalloped pattern.
Another shows two straight rows Of
rufIles on either side OF a double set
ting of handmade Irish lace. This
waist attiacts immediate attention
because the pattern Of the lace in
cludes several large rosette stitches
that reach the proportion of large
buttons and which form ornaments
OF rich appearance. The peplum parts
Of these georSette blouses have n
finished touch in the employment OF
horizontal tucks that are found ON
many.
Medallons Of antique filet lace in
its novel design are used as trim
ming on several styles. These medal
lions are set in irregular fashion to
give a pointed effect to the sleeves
and are used in foursomes 10 form Il
novel collar. Tucked squares cover
the surface Of one overblouse, and
handmade lace mcdallions are cen
tered in these TO good advantage.
To point out the fine detail in exc
cutting these blouses. one waist offers
