appropriate afternoon gown as well.
And this happens quite often in fash
IONS latest wardrobe.
The truth of the matter is that
of the three types of frocks-
afternoon. informal. evening and for
NAL evening gowns-the lines of
demarcation are not very clear cut.
The afternoon gown Is. of course,
easily distinguished from the formal
evening gown-but there is type
of frock that you might call an in
formal evening or dinner gown that
might be worn quite appropriately
for afternoon. One good authority
on the new clothes says that the
difference between formal and infor-
NAL evening frocks is one. of neck
line. And ii is quite true that the
extreme decolletage has returned to
Aminence only for formal evening
wear; lOr all oIner purposes the
neck line remains at a position that
is not too low for afternoon as well.
And, of course. nothing is indi

sleeveless at all times. France has
gone back to arms covered from
shoulders to beyond the wrists for
daytime. but America. always a little
loath to give up a style that is COM
Portable and smart still goes bare
armed. So your afternoon gown and
your evening gown are indistinguish-
able in that way.
Some clever young women have
made the most of this. this summer,
and they possess frocks that with
hat. parasol and short gloves are
perfectly. suitable for afternoon but,
leaving off these accessories, are
quite suita BILE for evening-dinner
and informal dan6ine.
There is no sharp line drawn be-
tween colors for afternoon and COL
ors for evening. The only line
drawn should be an individual one.
You may find certain colors and
certain shades of these colors more
becoming to you under electric light
than sunlight: you may find, for in
stance, that you look smart in white
in the daytime, but dwindle into
significance in white in the evening.
Or you may find that a black gown
in the evening heightens your
charms, whereas for daytime black
may bring out the sallowness Of your
skin and the WEAKNESS of your eyes.
In planning your double service
afternoon evening frock. select some
color or shade that you have found
70 be becoming both in sunlight and
in what for lack of better term
we call artificial light
DEAR in mind, too. that. though
ID evening colors may be worn with
impunity in the afternoon. an
abundance of beading or elaborate
metal ornamentation is not quite
suitable for the afternoon-so let
the decorations of your combination

and afternoon. good double duty

trimmed with lace dyed to match
the lace forming sort of jabot at
the right hip, hanging to below the

For once women have an advantage
over the men in this matter OF dress
ing for the evening. If they have
taken the trouble or had occasion to
get into an afternoon frock-and
haven't gone straight through in
sports clothes, as some women seem
TO prefer-then they are rewarded by
being able to dispense with special
dressing for dinner. The special adj
vantage over men disappears, how

city. The vehicles are drawn by
horses with high bows rising over
their collars. There are numerous

Walking down the tan,
we soon reach the granite walled
harbor filled with ships both large
and small, and especially with skiffs
and boats which have brought stuff
to market. The chief market. place
OF the city is on the harbor. and the
buying goes ON both on the boats and
on the streets The market place is
covered with booths and wagons and
men and women push carts about fil1-

scene is a busy one. The market

HELSINGFORS, FINLAND


= WANT to show you the booming
capital of the new Republic of
Finland At the close of the
world war Helsingfors took on
a new lease of life, and it Is now one
of the live, up-to-date cities of Eu-
rope. II is farther north on the. globe
than any other world capital. It's
latitude is that of Hudson bay and
it's nearer the north pole than Petro-
grad Stockholm or Christiania. New

people can live here all the year
round.
Just how we'll they live will sur
prise you My hotel is the Kamp.- 1t
is a building of five stories. facing
an avenue park 400 feet wide. with
stone pavements on either side and
greeraeiawns and trees in the center.
Entering, one finds much the same
lobby as at home, and the dining
rooms are commodious I am fortu-
nate in having the bridal suite. which
Is on the second floor over the en-
trance. 1t costs me just about 50 a
day. and would cost ten times that in
New York. The suite consists of a
parlor, sixteen by twenty, with an
alcove at the left facing the street.
Theceiling is thirteen feet high, and
in it's center is an electric cut-glass
chandelier. The floor is of polished
oak with a rose-colored, one-piece
rug covering the whole, and the fur
niture is of oak upholstered in blue
brocaded satin. The room has two
fulI-length mirrors, in which I can
see every muscle as go through my
gymnastics on rising, and adjoining
1t are bedroom and bath, the latter
having a tub six feet in length with
a shower overhead.
Every morning I order fire, for
the air is cold about daybreak. The
hotel is not heated by furnace, hot
water or tseam, but, like most OF the
homes OF the city, by great stoves
burning wood. The stove fills one
corner of the parlor. 1t is half again
as high as my head and has an oven
three feet square, which Is the height
of q chair from the floor. The oven
has brass doors, and when the wood
IS put in and lighted these are
thrown open and it gives all the ef-
