The ShirtWaistA Hand Made And sHand Tailored, Is To Have A Revival As Con-
 panion To The Tailored Suit

If you wish just touch of some thing that Is individual in the way of trimming, then treat it as the lighter suit pictured on this page has been treated. Embroider the edges of the pockets with some bright shades of wool or silk. And let the ends of the belt have decorations of the same sort to finish them. That Is all. You need no more. Either that or some other discreet spot of trimmings will do the trick most effectively.
 Some girls are choo1ng to have their suits or dark blue serge and then to wear with them folded ker- chiefs of very bright tones and hues. They match the kerchief with little handkerchief stuck carelessly into the upper pocket. Then they keep their hats dark blue in tone, and they manage to have an outfit that Is distinguished by its smartness and at the same time its utter individu- ality.
 Keep your shoes arg hats in har- money with this tailored dressing. Don't let them deviate an in<l from the accepted form of things. Have | plain, low-heeled pumps. Have them | brown or gray or black, and wear them, always with light-toned stock | ings. Have your gloves of mousque- taire fashion, and those of kid in the | everything in harmony and you will ] find that you have composed a cos l tune that is the best looking thing in tSe world for just this season of the year, and, doubtless, for many months to come.
 A suit as plain and unadorned in | type as any of those described can last on from season to season in tho most astonishing way. It never really | leaves the foremost ranks of fash ion, for it continually has a place, and one that Is distinguished, no matter what the procession of fash ion may present at the time. So. are just now, you can make no mis- take in purchasing one and spending money upon having it fitted to your owp figure. You may know posi- lively that you will get more than your full moneys worth and wear out of it before the actual wear upon it's surface makes it necessary for you to cast 1t aside
 Shirtwaists of the handmade and tailored and lingerie styles are com ing back in the wake of theso pla>> CT suits. They are fascinating in their making and trimming, for, while they, too, are plain to the utmost possible degree, they give that finish and charm to a suit which cannot be supplemented by any other sort of bodice. Fashionable as is the over- blouse just now, 1t does not really do as something to accompany the tailored suit. The old fashioned shirtwaits in a modern guise Is the thing to have.

The Trend Is To The Severe But Stunning Fashion By Which French Women Ac- cent Individuality
By Mdrgery Wells

WYE have had lot of fancies In
 NV the way of suits. And the
 reaction that was bound to come Is almhost upon us. Girls, for their late summer and their early fall street things. are choosing suits so plain and tailored that they take us back to old times with a shooting for ward in expression to a distinctly new era.
 Now, the suit of today Is the same while it is different. It is plainer, If anything. than it ever was before. It is shaved off with regard to every possible extraneous detail until it has become a totally feminine expression in its most simplified clements
 Coats are short and straight. Skirts are short and straight and made to follow the line of the figure. Coats are single-breasted or double, if you choose, keeping always that straight ness of line which distinguishes the modern girl. Skirts keep away from extra pleats and fullness.
 Now all of this makes a suit a very distipguishable and very per feet thing to own, but unless you are made exactly upon model propor- tions, you cannot hope to have one by going into shop and buying it ready made and fit to be slipped on and walked out with. That is where the tailored suit differs from every other feminine costume, and that Is why it can never become a really common affair. Your suit, no matter Under what circumstances you have pur- chased it, so long as it Is a strictly tailored suit, will always be your own and will always succeed in making you look like yourself and like no one else under the sun.
 I had heard so much about the won- derful dressing of the French women. And then l went to Paris for the first time only to find that the greater ma jorfty of them, while they were on the streets, wore strictly tailored suits along with full and fluffy white shirt waists. Of course, they looked individual and distinctive. They couldn't manage, under the circum stances, to do anything else. They were built to suit the women who wore them, and they were not adap- table to any other woman under the sun. I awoke with start to realize how simple a thing, after all was the matter of individual dressing Not freakish nor wild nor different but something that was cut over regular lines and adapted individ- ually. Now the French women have always recognized this truth. This season or the one that Is approaching us is going to give the American women the opportunity of learning the same lesson. Perhaps they will absorb 1t for all time. Who knows?
 Well, then, your new suit, though 1t be plain, can be of material that suits you personally. It can be woolly as to its surface or 1t can be as smooth and plain as any mans suit. It can be patterned. if you will in a brocaded or in a blocked or striped design. But It's color should be dark or neutral In some way. It should be made without any trimmings whatsoever It should have pockets at the side and one on the left side at the top of the coat. It should have revers that are plainly designed and fitted to the outlines of your figure.

THE NEW FALL HAT ON THE NEWBOBBED HEAD

III ATS and the bobbed head have. TT both together and separately,
 become an important public con sideration. We have bobbed heads. We must have hats to fl them and to become the youthful faces that are surrounded by these shortcut heads of hair.
 There was a time when the bobbed haired girl could find nothing that really suited her coiffure and now the tables have turned so completely that the long haired girls must watch their steps every inch of the way in order to avoid outfittng themselves with hats that are meant haired sisters.
 sweetest little things. These girls most certainly have things all their own way. They have the tam e. shanter, which Is the most satisfac- tory, perhaps, of them all. They have the draped hats that fall over the head and allow only the merest sug- .gestion of fringes of hair to show over the sides of the face.
 And now they have new sort of tailored hat, as illustrated by the one shown in the picture. It Is made of felt. It has the high crown that fashion has found to be becoming to the existing style of dress, and then it has that graceful little rolled or semi rolled brim that surrounds the face with a most becoming halo This particular hat is trimmed with a draping of chiffon and long ends of the same that wrap around the neck and shoulders. helping out nightly a suit or frock that Is worn without neck piece of any sort.
 There are so many fur animals worn about necks these days that some girls are finding it a distinct relief to stop wearing theirs. They find that 1t is simpler matter than to produce an individual effect by the picture of themselves in their clothes. The fur has a way of making every woman look as though she had been cut out of the same piece of ma terial over the same pattern. Furs are smart enough, goodness knows, but they are fashionable In a very usual sort of way with no guarantee that their wearers will look separate from the masses in the manner of their dressing.
 But. if you are locking for some thing new and different try the chif- ion scarf, either attacbed to severe

kA|SE R BILL, IN EXILE, HOLDS ID HIS REGAL Al RS
William Unable To Realize He Is Not Still The Ruler Of
 Germany

DOORN, August 11.-(By Associated Press s.)-Willliam Hohenzollern, once German emperor, today In Doorn maintains his imperial airs as of old, according to the recitals of those who from time to time come in con tact with him.
 The latest story Is contributed by travelling company of student-ac- tors. Augmenting their slender in- comes by acting medieval mystery plays in various German and Dutch cities, the actors were requested to give performance at the former emperor's residence. Before doing so they were received by William, and they have since given their impress sions of the reception.
 Firfst they were instructed how to behave. Speak to His Majesty just as the words come,' said the marshal. Address him in accordance with his exalted position, and kindly make a very, very low bow"
 Superior Airs.
 After being admitted to the house, William and an officer appeared in the hall One of the students de- scribes William as having naughty movements and superior airs. His eyes are nervous, and a hard, pale gray in color. He has striking gray eyebrows. Lines of age furrow his brow, and his mouth seems extraordi- narily sensuous. His beard and mous- tache have turned gray and his com plexion is unhealthy.
 William wore gray-green field cape and a green sporting hat. The student thought that civilian dress made him appear bourgeois. His manner of address was sharp and Prussian.
 Offer Mystery Plays.
 Williams foible of omniscience ap- peared at once in his conversation, and he started right in. 50 YOU are going to offer us mystery plays? They are. of course, the plas> that reached such a flourishing condition among the ancient Creeks"
 Then the former monarch proceeded to give history of these plays down to modern times. The marshal whis- pered delightedly to the student: The Kaiser knows everything" In the evening the student actors played "The Dance of Death" and the lyrical Paradise Play" Princess Hermine, Williams wife, was greatly taken by the plays and as she came on the stage to thank the players, she remarked: You must come again. Here one perishes intel lectually. It Is seldom that anything of value Is offered to us"

HUSBAND AND WIFE DEVOTE 70 YEARS TO PASSION PLAY
Aged Oberammergau Couple Have Taken Part In Many :
 Productions

OBERAMMERGAU, August 11.-(By Associated Press s.)-Jakob and Ma thilde Rutz have just celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, one more milestone in two lives whicn have been devoted to the Passion Play for 70 years. Rutz was the vil- lage smithy of Oberammergau until age pulled him away from the forge, and is the father-in- law of Anton Lang, the renowned portrayer of tho life of Christ.
 In 1850, as a babe of three, Rutz took his original part in Oberammer- gau's famous play. He was then cast as Adams son in one of the Old Tes- lament tableauX which feature the performances. Ten years later he appeared as an alto soloist and in 1870 was chief assistant to the Pas sion Play prologist and choir leader, Johannes Diemer. During the per formances of 1880, Diemer again held this combination position, but Rutz often substituted for him and in 1890 replaced the leader entirely.
 For centuries the Diemer family has furnished the choir leader. Rutz being the only person ever to break in on this otherwise uninterrupted d succession.
 In 1870, when the Passion Play season had to be interrupted. Rutz was called to the colors for the Franco-PruSsian war. It was an ironical coincidence that he was bill \leted during the hostilties with a French family which had once been his guests at Oberammergau while attending the play.
 Mother Rutz's devotion to the Pas sion Play has expressed itself prin- cipally in hospitably caring for many of the thousands of tourists who trek this way every ten years. One of her two sons lives here and took a prom inent part in last years play; the other lives in Munich and Is there fore not eligible to the cast. Her daughter Mathilde, the wife of Anton Lang, made a name for herself in former years as Passion Play artist.
 Rutz continues active in public life as a member of the village govern ment and one of the Passion Play executive committeeman.

ESSEN. August 11.z(By Associated Press)-Germans in the Ruhr, pas sively resisting the French, declined to ride on trains run by Frenchmen. Hence 1t soon became a question of stay at home, or find some other means ef locomotion.
 They did the latter, and today the Ruhr is filled with people on roll CTS. Tens of thousands of laborers have bicycles, motorcycles, or a small coaster propelled by a gasoline mo- tor to go to and from their work Hundreds of thousands of others are taken to their places of employment and back in motor trucks furnished by their employees.
 It takes 69,500 miles of gas mains to supply 4,600 cities, towns and villages with gas service.

pI StcHins ENDeTIS say
 CHICAGO, August 11.-(By Associ- ated Press )-The leaky radiator and the radiator that sounds like strike in boiler factory must go. The re- search committee of the National Association of Building Owners and Managers declares it has discovered means of saving thousands of tons of coal year by preventing vast age of steam.
 The committee has invented a stethOscope. It works quite like the one the doctor uses when he tests your lungs or your heart. The es- cape of steam in the radiator traps can be gauged the way the doctor finds out about malfunctioning heart. The stethoscope is placed against the radiator trap and the operator listens to the music of the steam. Whether it murmurs, gurgles or pounds, the radiator trap doctor knows imm ediately what the matter is by using his stethoscope, 1t Is claimed.
 The committee in charge of the work was headed by Col. Gordon Strong of Chicago, assisted by pro- fessors and students of Lewis insti- tute where the actual testing waa done.

THE ELECTRIC TRUCK rs
COMING INTO ITS OWN

Almost daily, one might say, the
American Railway Express is denot-
ing it's approval Of the electric truck
by placing an orded for this type Of
transport, first in one city and then
in another. Now Oklahoma City has
acquired, it seems, twenty-seven
brand new electric trucks to solve the
transportation difficulties of that city.
It is worth noting that he metro
politan district Of New York City
covered by the American Express, al
ready boasts 564 electric trucks and
the outlying country approximately
1,400. This looks to us like some re
cord.
After careful computation it has
been estimated that the cost of oper-
ating the electric truck is about one
half that Of the gas truck. The for
mer is apparently in the field to stay.
Drivers back the electric trucks en-

and the few repairs neces-
sary.
