The Demountable Costume,
Saves Time, Space and Sunburn

For time this summer it seemed
that we could all have to develop arms
that were impervious to sun, rain and
wind, SO exposed were they by all the
frocks. 1t comes as a relief to find that
the poor sleeveless girls of this years
styles are not going to be expected to
develop an immunity TO colds after all.
For the latest contribution to the cos
/ tune world is a short light silk coat
that is almost blouse.
1t is made of Crepe de Cine fire.,
! the South Manchester looms md m
be of any color-either &c match or to
contrast with the rather tight sleeveless
dress of pleated silk crepe with which
it is worn.
The frills, which are very fashion
able, are made of the same tissue as the
blouse and occur at the neck and
sleeves. The collar, tucked finely about
the neck, narrows as it descends until
it dwindles away at the bottom OF the
biouse-coat. The sleeves, tucked just
beneath the elbow, fall in two frilIs.
Two straight bands finish the Goa; be-
meath suede belt.
Demountable costumes have also been
developed in different materials. A
French Couturier has invented a robe
casaque--a coat dress Of wooden ma
terial to be worn over light costume
Of silk. This is a great help for week
end visits, as the frocks may be worn
separately and the space saved in the
suitcase used for an extra gown.

Four Silk Kerchiefs--and
The World is Yours

One has kerchiefs to the right of
one, to the left-to head and TO wrist
and even to heel. These last are in
the case of the handkerchief dresses
whose silk borders fall in draped
points almost to the ground. They
are made of Gargantuan Cheney kerr
Chiefs, these frocks, and are complete
y charming. 1t usually takes four of
them, two for the waist and two for
the skirt. Lovely line effects NAV
be made from different arrangements
of the borders.
In costume seen recently in Paris
the tie ends of the kerchief were
drawn through horizontal slit in the
front of the blouse giving an effect
OF unity. Bright squares are being
used in increasing numbers as sashes
with white flannel skirts and silk
blouses to bridge the gap which often
appears in the course of a tennis
game.
The neck kerchief, essentially hot
weather style, is Of course now in
hign favor. In the accompanying
blouse the kerchief has been reward
ed for good behaviour by having its
edge trimmed with a finely pleated
friii The material is of the same
yellow Crepe Chenette as the blouse.
which is entirely pleased itself.
Set-in sleeves are banded with a
small replica of the band and fri;
which finish the waist Four quaint
metal buttons fasten the belt in back.

STATE LIVE STOCK
LAW NOT SOUND

That law passed by the last
state legislature authorizing the
state board of live stock commits
sioners to pay to any live stock as
sociation an amount equivalent to a
levy of one mill on the dollar of
total tax valuation for the preced-
ing year on live stock is not sound
is the opinion expressed by At
torney-General M. A. Diskin in sug-
gesting to Secretary Edward. Rec
ords of the tsock commission that
the commission refuse TO make any
payments to an association under
this law, says the Gazette.
The law proposes that "any as
ISOLATION" formed to protect, en-
courage, promote and advance the
live stock industry in the state may
receive the money and the act was
substituted during consideration in
the legislature for another which
provided that the money should be
paid to the Nevada Live Stock As
ISOLATION. The bill which named
the particular association would
have been declared unconstitutional,
the solons believed.
Diskin declares in his opinion
that the question to be determined
is whether the law is in conflict with
a section of the state constitution
providing that the state shall not
donate or loan money, or its credit,
subscribe to or be interested in the
stock of any company, association
or corporation except corporations
formed for educational or charit-
able purposes"
Those managing the associations
are not public officers, he says.
"The associations are separate and
distinct; composed of private indi-
viduals managed and controlled by
officers and agents of their own and
for the money entrusted to them no
account is required to be made or
given to any state agency.
"The board of live stock COM
in making these appro-
priations entirely abdicate all discre-
ton over the subject matter of the
and expenditure thereof.
They become therefore, mere dona-
tons.
THE same principle that would
sustain these appropriations would
equally sustain donations to every
corporation or association engaged
in what might be termed the public
good throughout the state"
