Linen Frocks; Sleeveless Jackets
BY MARY MARSHALL

derived from France. Still there are
French women, as there are Americans
who feel actually undressed outdoors
without something over frock or gown
For summer days the French dress
maker is very fond of the chiffon or
georgette frock with accompanying wrap,
of chiffon likewise. Some dressmakers
seem to take it for granted that every
afternoon frock will need some ap-
propriate wrap.
There are few costumes more Serv-
iceable and comfortable in summer than
the one consisting of a frock of linen
and voile or some similar thin
fabric accompanied with a sleeveless
linen Jacket. A sleeveless linen jacket
certainly gives very little either
Of weight or warmth. Yet accountered
with this sleeveless jacket even the
most conservative among us would feel
that she had made as much concession
to convention as necessary. The sketch
shows a gown of this sort-of powder
blue linen with bodice of matching
voie in the same shade. The voile
is tucked all over. The jacket of linen
is double breasted, and being double
below the waistline' could be spoken OF
as being double breasted"

This beautiful plant may be seen
in the public park at 10th and Euclid

tropical, for it is a native shrub
growing naturally from Virginia to
Georgia west to Tennessee, and in
cultivation is hardy north to Massa-

easy to transplant. and will do well
in any soil and situation. The plant

white. rarely pink or scarlet. Most
beautiful of the genus are the South
American species, SURPRISING the
others in beauty of the flowers. They
are rare in cultivation, however, and
are hardy only south.
Catesby'S leucothoe is one of the
most ornamental and popular. 1t is
often used for massing with taller
shrubs, such as rhododendrons, we'll

for them. The sprays of flowers are
fragrant and very graceful and beau

a person in this country makes that
person q negro. The two most in
fiuential welfare organizations OF the
race are at variance with each other
because Of the color Issue. One ac-
cuses the other of being too white.
while the other retorts that the first
is too black. One advocates a pro-
gram of social equality, aided by
philanthropio help, while the other
puts forward social isolation and
self-help as solutions of the race
problem. The incessant warfare
waged by these schools of thought
inevitably retards progress. To
