DAINTY FROCK FOR THE HOUSE
The Washington Times 15c Practical Pattern

Isn't this an adorable model
for the housewife who would
look her best when working
about the home? It is so very
simple, yet the added side
flares, which one may omit if
one wishes, give just that touch
of chic so essential today. A
narrow braid affords smart
trimming of neck band, belt,
cuffs and pockets.
Any of the cotton wash fab
RIGS are suitable for this frock,
percale, bingham, broadcloth or
linene. White with colored
trimming, or a color braided in
a deeper shade will be lovely.
Two pearl buttons finish the
neck band.
May be obtained only in
sizes 16, IS, 81, SO, 38, and 40.
Size Is requires 3% yards of
material 40 inches wide.
This model is easy to make.
No dressmaking experience is
necessary. Each pattern comes
to you with simple and exact
instructions, including yardage
of every size. A perfect fit
is guaranteed.

A Reciprocal Gesture

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
In a restaurant when a lady
bows to a gentleman. is it enough
for the gentleman merely to bow
to the lady?
A NAN.
No, this isn't quite enough ges'
ture of recognition for a gen.
i tleman to make to lady to
whom he Is bowling in a restaur.
ant. AS he bows he makes the
gesture of rising by getting up
halfway from his chair. Although
l realize that this does not sound
very graceful. since he does not
make a complete rise from his
chair, this half-rise can be done
in a very graceful and effective
manner. giving distinct air of
gallantry.

When you are travelling, you
should use your formal name,

The Harlequin Service

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
The other day 1 dined at the
rather luxurious home of friend
of mine, and l was especially
interested in the afterdinner cof-
fee service. This friend has her
coffee served in her living room
as you suggested in your column.
The after-dinner coffee service
consisted of coffee cups of varied
colors-I think there were no two
alike. The cups were of plain
outline, there were no designs on
them and their only decoration
was the color outside of the cup
and the gold inside of the cup.
Have you seen this kind of
service? Have l made it clear

Pasadena, Calf. May 2e.-(P,-
A new explosive, of which radium is
an important ingredient, today was
reported by military professors of
the California institute of techno-

per cent more powerful than T N T

commercial dynamite, in official
tests conducted at the college.
Tests Of the explosive, which was
invented by Captain H. r. Zimmer
Of Los Angeles, former army Off

onel L. M. Adams, professor Of mill
itary science at the institute. An
ounce Of each Of the three explosives
was placed in three separate lead
jars, and their comparative power
determined by measuring the ex-
pansions created bv the explosions.
Representatives of the institutes

the supremacy of the champions was
