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

Just how attractive 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 iy tlared These also are finished with tucks. A sash belt, to be tied at the side or back, holds the frock in at the wGistline.
 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- tical and so light in weight that they may be worn with comfort throughout tine summer, as the majority of them are entirely unlined. The leaning to straight lines and to simplicity in style design is very friendly to the develop ment of unlined frocks, as few are so closely fitted to the figure as to re- quire lining unless it is actually pre- ferred, and certainly the unlined dresses are much easier to get into than the ones that are lined-another advantage in this age of hurry and furry.

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

Well-dressed women in search of smart blouses to wear with navy blue suits would undoubtedly apply the term of "real' to one group of offer ings noted recently, for they are gen. timely attractive. One of the most original designs was a frilled over blouse. Frills are almost exclusively a most agreeable surprise Is. waiting for those who have never seen them in combination with a 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 a particularly rich effect is found in those of bisque tone because of the shaded lace that Is dyed to match 1t so perfectly.
 In developing these frilled styles, one is offered in typical jabot effect edged with lace in ScallOped pattern. Another shows two straight rows of ruifles on either side of a double set ting of handmade Irish lace. This waist attracts 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 georgette blouses have finished touch in the employment of horizontal tucks that are found on many.
 Mednlions of antique filet lace in It's novel design are used as trim ming on several styles. These medal Hons are set in irregular fashion to stte a pointed effect to the sleeves ani are used in fourSomes to form a novel collar. Tucked squares cover thn surface of one overblouse, and handmade lace medallions are cen tered in these to good advantage.
 20 point out the fine detail in exc cutting these blouSes, one waist offers ( bosom front formed of embroid- cred net combined with Irish lace. It Is the season for geOrgettes, and for that reason they have been empha- sized. Crepe de chimes of fine quail lty are also presented in the same models for those who prefer this ma terial.

 Despite the high cost of white paper and restricted space, the British press is devoting a great deal of space to American "atrocities."
 Some of the indictments against the Americans as set forth in the Eng fish press are:

 2. American men wear dinner 5ack- cts in the presence of ladies.
 g. American women have their shoes shined at street bootblack stands.
 f. American women chew gum.

CRITIC GIVES VIEWS

"Corisande," who writes like duch- ess out of work-and duchesses are writing for the newspapers now that the duchess business has gone to pot in her "society" column in the Even ing Standard, recites one of the hor- rible American atrocities" as follows:
 What brave people the Ameri- cans are! Or is it that they think they can do things in London un- dreamed of in New York? We might be just the same I have thought this a good many times since the transat- lantic rush began-and one has met Americans with every step in London.
 Tt came upon me very strongly when I saw an American woman walk ing into the Ritz restaurant with a mans straw hat, wrapped up in brown paper, under her arm, and the paper had come adrift in one direction, so that there could be no doubt that 1t was a straw hat.

had come adrift in one direction, so that there could be no doubt that It was straw hat.
 OH, HoRRoRs! HORRORS!
 CT don't know what other lunchers such, as the Duke of Rutland, Sir Godfrey Barring, or the charming Countess Choisuille (white-haired and all in black)-must have thought. Per haps they did not notice.
 Let's hope that the Duke of Rut- land and the Countess Choisuille dld not notice. Pity them, poor things, II they did notice and were shocked to insensibility by this American Wom an, who brought her husbands stra" hat, wrapped in brown paper, mind you. right into the Ritz dining room!
 One can imagine the fishmongers wives down in Billingsgate reading "Corisande's" horrible tale and wiring ing their hands and tearfully joining together in fervent prayer that the Empire may be saved from further atrocities" of this sort.
 This is just one of the many pro- tests and walls that have gone up from the British press. They have tried ridicule extensively and still seem un- able to check the American "atroci- ties" England has no comic papers, such as there are in America, and per haps that's why many of the papers are altogether "comic sheets
 LINGO IS BERATED
 At least they are "comic sheets" in so far as they attempt to depict the Americans. According to the versions of English newspapers, every Ameri- can opens every sentence of conversa- tion with, Say bo' and closes it with Sure" All Americans say "bekace" for "because" and never say "the," but always use "de" All Americans wear a cigar dropping from the left corner of their mouth, and no American ever thought of coming abroad without at least six pairs of horn-rimmed spec tacles.
 "Oh, wurra! wurra!" as they say in Ireland, and "Oh, di mel" as the flap per says on Broadway, these are ter rible times for the sensitive British, who have their sensibilities outland ishly shocked at every turn by the "atrocities" of the American tourists.
 Despite these horrible American atrocities" it is interesting to note that there is yet no case on record where, American money has been re- fused in London, and the Americans are spending millions of dollars here this summer even if they are commit ting atrocities"

Congress reduced the national tax
bill $500. 10000 for this year and that
on direct taxes it will be down a
billion of dollars the next year.
But after starting with so brave q
show of economic sanity and financial
self-denial the leaders Of the very

bonus raid on the Treasury to the
extent of five billions of dollars. They
set out to make inordinate, irrational
tariff rates that could cost American
consumers nobody knows how many
billions of dollars in the increased
prices of their necessaries of life.

Saving Mothers and Babies.

The mother and baby death rate in
the United States is high. 1t Is
higher than it should be and higher
than 1t would be II heedlessness and
ignorance were not the companions
Of many expectant mothers. Any
agency that combats these enemies
Of safe maternity and happy baby
hood deserves support. The Mater
nifty Center Association, with head
quarters at 370 Seventh avenue, has
been doing this good work for years;
It's latest contribution to public well
fare is the publication Of a dozen
Talks to Mothers" in an edition OF
1 200 900, which it plans to distribute
all over the country.
The "Talks" are admirable in mat
ter and manner. They do not un-
dertake to supplant the physician and
the nurse, but they urge the mother
to go to her doctor for advice and
guidance. They warn without seek
ing to alarm; they point out what
should be done and what should not
be done. There is happy and help
full absence of writing down to peo-
pie" In them; they report the sound
sane counsel of informed and sympa-
thetic friends, deeply interested in
the well being of those to whom they
are addressed.
Such literature as this, coming
from a philanthropic institution. Is
assumed to be intended exclusively
for the de,nsely ignorant, the pow
erty stricken. Their plight perhaps
first suggested the adoption Of this

properly resent the suggestion that
they are poor or uneducated.

Noise on the Fourth.
Would Women Police Be Able to

To THE New YORK HERALD: We were
promised a sane Fourth. The definition
of sanity is obscure. but In the street
where I live the question was asked :
IF this Is a sane Fourth, what is an
insane one7"
In olden times the children exploited

an occasional scrpentine hiss Of what
they called sisser and the clatter Of
torpedoes. This year from early in the
morning until about 10 p. M. there
were continuous reports from large fire.

this form of sanity.

Is not, therefore, to be wondered at that
upon this sane Fourth they were al

compelled to stay in the neighborhood

The question arises. Would 1t be better

At any rate. she had to come whether
she wanted to or not. When men
grew more civilized they went to the
father of the woman they wanted
and handed over big pile of skins
or herded few head of cattle to the
paternal door. If there were enough
skins or enough cattle to satisfy the
old man they got without further
trouble the wife they wanted.
This latter practice, in a modified
form, is not unknown to-day. The
young man is expected to make
known what he has in the equivalent
of skins and cattle, but he is not
ordinarily expected to hand over any
of it to the old man, who, as a mat
ter of fact, Is sometimes supposed to
come forward with the equivalent of
a few cattle himself.

backs to more primitive marriage
customs. In the Supreme Court re-
Gently Justice LOUIS M. MARTIN an
nulled the marriage of a young Ital-
ian woman who had been coerced
into a marriage with man who was
Tdistasteful to her. He had bargained
with her father and obtained his con-

against the girl and her family.

forcing marriages in this manner
was prevalent among people Of for

woman without her consent is liable,
If convicted, to ten years imprison-
