Hints About Fashions
That Are Now in Vogue

At the moment the cape coat Occu-
pies q foremost position in the fash
ions of the season. 1t appears in many
different versions from the stunning
snort coat Of plaids or two-tOned
blocked effects to the more elaborate
models of satin, crepe or heavy ribbed
bengaline.
Embroidery plays an important part
in the decoration of coats and while
white on black is perhaps the most
popular color scheme, there are others
quite as striking and bit more ex-
elusive.
Printed chiffons, particularly those
that have a large floral design, are
among the most popular of the sum-
mer materials Surprisingly enough,
they appear in the most formal of eve
ming frocks as well as in dresses for
afternoon wear. Some of the very
newest of these evening frocks of flow
cred chiffon are combined with wide
flounces of black ehantilly lace,
combination that is extremely effective
and "chic."
Since ribbons play such large part
In the scheme Of things this season, a
fat case of blue leather that is de-
signed particularly TO hold them will
make a most acceptable gift. Inside
the case are two large pieces of cellu-
loid. notched to accommodate different
widths Of ribbons.
A fascinating little dress for small

When batch Of jelly has for some
reason failed to set as firmly as one
would like, there are still many uses
for 1t. A glassful Of soft fruit jelly
In punch supplies both sweetening
and fruit flavor. A few spoonfuls Of
soft tart jelly beaten into whipped
cream gives a delicious flavor. Tarts
filed with the jelly and baked are
good for dessert. The jelly can be
used as a sauce for blanc-mange, hot
cakes or ice cream. 1t may be served
with cream cheese or cottage cheese
for lunch. With hot bread or In sand
wiches the jelly is as useful as ii 1t

jelly. Mixed with coconut the Jelly

The Importance of the capelet can
not be overstated. In some form or
other 1t finds expression on not only
frock, suit and wraps, but even the
blouse, in its latest conception, reflects
the capelet influence. Plaitings of the
crepe de chine, in the form of cape
let, are attached across the shoulders
of the latest blouse models.
The new long straight coats are for
the most part embellished with cape
effects.
There is great advantage offered In
the capelet of concealing ungainly
lines, and designers having recog-
nized this, are applying their genius
to developing these graceful attach
ments in every conceivable form

Even the sheerest summer frocks carry
the capelet idea, through draperies of
diaphanous fabric, caught to shoulder,
neck and about the sleeves at the back.
Most ingenious is the scarf-like length
of chiffon, the center upper edge
tackled across the shoulders, the long

Not Excifcd bv Blood

The old belief that cattle are ex-
cited by the sight or smell of blood has
been dealt a severe blow bv Prof. G.
NJ. Stratton Of the University of Cali
forna. He has poured out buckets of
blood before bulls, cows and calves
without the animals showing more than
mild curiosity, says the Detroit News.
Cattle showed more interest in the
blood OF their own kind than that of
horses, but in no case was there any
paving of the ground or believing.
Doctor Stratton attributes any ex-
citement of cattle when one of the
herd is bleeding to the cries of pain
and the conduct of the wounded ami
NAL.
A year or so ago he demonstrated
by similar series Of experiments that
red has no particular exciting effect
upon bulls.

frstrurnerts Nos Socia5Ie

Band instruments have personal pc
culiarities all their own, says John
Philip Sousa in Farm and Fireside
They are like guests at party. A
clever hostess knows that certain peo-
pie will clash, and she plans her social
affairs accordingly SO must com
poser, or a leader who "arranges" the
music that he plays, have care lest
his instruments quarrel.
The lurid trombone, the heroic clari-
net. and the sentimental French horn
each have their value in the band in
strument social world. But they can
not be thrown together casually. Imag-
inc a dainty and sweet musical love
story interrupted by the blare of a
trombone! The poor lovers would be
completely discomposed, and the audi
tor would never find them again. The
image would be destroyed.
Skilled and clever composers and
conductors sometimes make "social err
rorS" in Instrumentation that are quite
as ludicrous and quite as destructive
of social accord as are the errors of an
inept hostess.

Worlds Highest Phone
Station on Monte Rosa

It appears that the highest teln-
phone station in the world is that of
the meteorological observatory on top
of Monte Rosa, the Alps, at height OF
15,450 feet. Since The station is occu-
pied only for a short period each year,
the poles carrying the telephone wire
are removed at the end of each season
and re-erected when this is required.
1t is interesting to know that the
unusual conditions of weather which
are met with in the mountain region
do not hinder, but, on the other hand
really favor the operation of the tele-
phone line. Short poles are used and
at the center of each span the wire
touches the snow, but as the snow
Is quite dry it is good insulator and
no leakage troubles are found
Indeed, the final section of the line,
from the Col du Lys to the peak Is
simply laid across the snow without
the use Of any other support. Where
the poles are used, to prevent any
breakage of the wire, owing to move
ments of the glacier, the line is car
ried through rings on the poles and is
not attached fast to the insulators
The line crosses two valleys, each
about $500 feet wide, and naturally
they must be crossed by q single span.
But the depth of the ravines is So
great that the sag of the wires is of
no Observation-Disclosures Star.

Breakfast in Paris Is

The most difficult thing to find in
Pkfis, aside from a clean theatrical
performance, is a substantial break

One can go out on the streets of
Paris at seven In the morning, when
the noise of the wooden shoe is abroad
in the land and the asphalt of the
trig figures of the midinettes hasten
ing to their daily eleven hours of
work, and hunt diligently until ten
o'clock without finding any establish
ment that dispenses anything more
satisfying than a cup of anemic coffee
and few buns resembling the shoe
of an understood horse.
"Ah, madame! Have you of the
eggs? 1t is a necessity that one de
YOURS three eggs"
"What, m'sieu, three eggs? Zut,
then, msieu. For what reason would
three eggs dwell in this establish
ment? No egg has been demanded
here since the time of the trial Of that
poor Dreyfus, when eggs were thrown
by many wicked persons. M'sieu is
an original, perhaps. Three eggs?
Heaven!"
"Then possibly madame possesses
small sausage or a morsel of bacon
with which she could succor the starv-
ing?"
But no, m'sieu No man requires
such things for breakfast! Is it that
m'sieu forgot to devour his dinner
last night, yes?" ---.~-.---.,-., .-.
