The One-Piece Dress for
Street and the Three
Piece Outfit for
Sportswear Are
Most Popular

NNHE diversity of styles shown for
4 spring wear Is so great there is
one to fit every figure and every
need. The one-piece dress still re.
tains a firm hold for ordinary
street and shopping wear. How
ever, for sport, the three-piece suit
is more popular than ever.
On, the left is shown one-piece
frock of black spiral crepe. The
surplice closing is outlined with
white georgette, which material
fashions the collars mad cuffs. The
skirt is pleated in front. the back
being plain. The wide, snugly fit
ting hipband shows a novel belt
treatment, and fastens on the side
with two buttons made of the mate
rial. Altogether a very smart and
practical ..own.
The sport frock illustrated Is of
knitted silk and wool in eggshell
tan. The soft slipover sweater is

set pockets and three buttons
matching the tan. The material
is flecked all over in tiny white

crepe scarf.
OF exquisite workmanship are
these new necklaces with ivory
finish. which are scheduled for
wear with sport clothes. With an
antique finish and an arresting de-
sign, these galalith necklaces come
in strands of varied lengths and
are ,metimes combined with beads
of green, orange or bright red.

Will you kindly tell me which IL

Either is correct. II the sisters.

gracious in their pre.wedding plans
for the bride and groom. the bride
will undoubtedly wish to extend as
soon as possible the hospitality OF
her home. Or, If the sisters-in-law

Take American Ideas

It Is curious that both In the south
east and southwest of France there
have long been what the French neigh
bors call American villa towns. But
those who live in them are not our
Americans at all.
One of these towns-Barcelonne
on the motor road from Nice to the
French Alps and Lake Geneva-has
been given NIL the privileges of
tourist station by government decree.
It has some 1900 Inhabitants, with
streets laid out regularly and the out
skirts built up In what are known as
American houses-square and white
and with green blinds.
Those who live in them are purely
emigrants of full century
ago, or their children, who have come
back from Mexico and our Mexican
frontier after making a fortune. II Is

Roman Bridges Excite
Wonder of Engineers

Among the notable bodybuilding
achievements Of history are those con.
structed in the days Of the Roman
empire, says a writer in the Detroit
News. Some OF them still are In use,
to the amazement Of engineers, while
others stand In broken majesty, the
results of earthquakes or Of purposed
human destruction, for the delight
and wonder Of all beholders.
The two bridges, which lead from
the Forum side of Rome to the island
in the Tlber and on to the Trastevere,
or st. Peters side, were built In the
Second century, b. G. They have
been used very much more than the
Applan Way viaduct. They have stood
there against frequent floods and con-
slant usage these 1000 years and they
bid fair to keep on standing. The fine
bridge across the Tlber, north Of
Rome, built to carry the Flaminian
way nOrthward, Is another good ex-
ample Of a bridge more than 1000
years old, which has seen steady and
hard use and still appears as good as
ever.

Forgotten Colony of
Dutch Found in Java

Some time ago more than three hun
dred falr-haired, blue-eyed people
were discovered on little island east
of Java. All their nelghbors belong
to the Malay race, and they them
selves speak only Malay; yet each
newborn child in the colony Is as
pink and white as any baby born in
the occident. How did they happen
to be living there2
1t was not easy for them to give
an account of their origin, but the
records Of the Dutch East India COM
'pany on being investigated showed
what must have happened. In 1895 the
company, which In those days con-

with their wives on a little isle of
Kissa. Under n sergeant by the name
Of Kaffyn they were to guard against
the pOachlngs OF the Portuguese,

possessions In the East Indian archi-

days of Real Sport"
in Rural Community

To many who have never lived In
the country the life of the farmer
seems to be an endless round Of labor,
with little, IL any, pleasure to break
the monotOny. However, like many
opinions formed by one-half Of the
world In regard to how the other half
lives, this point Of view is errone

True, the farmers toll Is incessunt
throughout the year. 1t has ever
been thus. On the other hand, there
always has been much to relieve It
Of which the clty-bred people know
little or nothing.
1t also contained In the olden days
certain picturesque elements lacking
In the country life Of today. There
was color and sparkle which the
more or less sophisticated rural life
of the present time knows not.
Think of the slelghlng parties, the
husking bees, the apple-paring bees,
the quilting parties and the singing
school, to say nothing Of the "rals-

course, but the social element over

Diet for Sailors

The serving Of proper food at sea
has always presented great difficulty.
People not familiar with naval service
often wonder what the sallorman eats
while away from port. In 1894 each
man got one pound of bread, one
pound Of pork, one-half pint OF beans
or peas, four ounces of cheese and
One-half pint Of distilled spirits day.
As late as 1887 the diet was built
around bread, salt, or picked beef or
pork, peas or beans, potatoes, cheese,
sugar, coffee and tea. A typical break

toast, soft-bolled eggs, bread, butter,

nation salad, pie, bread, butter and

How Great Men Died

When Napoleon felt that his last
hour was approaching he did not put

asked TO he dressed In his field mar
shnl's uniform, even to the boots.
Augustus Caesar arose from his
couch carefully adjusted his toga and
met death standing. Julius Cnesar,
when slain, drew the folds OF his toga
over his face that his enemies might
not see his death agony. Slward, earl
Of Northumberland. left his bed and

should not die like II beast" Lord

Telephone Efficiency

When Is an Inch equivalent to four
miles? The answer Is when you hold
your mouth away from telephone
transmitter. When you place your
lips at an angle to the mOuth-plece
or show your aloOfness toward this
mechanical ear in some 0tlser way, you
thereby push your listener miles away
from you.
w. A. Jackson, superintendent Of
telegraph Of the Michigan Central
railroad, figured out this loss Of
speaking efficiency and sent a memo
randum about 1t to all his employees
He advised: "Talk directly into the
telephone transmltter at distance of
not more than one-half inch, using a
clear, moderate tone"

Father Abraham Wise
in Departing From Ur

The diggers, comments the Montreal
Star, have uncovered the city OF Ur,,
the place Father Abraham left be-
cause he felt the need of expansion.
Ur, 1t appears, had luxurious civ
ilization and the women wore hair
nets. The hair nets may have had
something to do with Abraham's NOV
ing on to wider fields. To man with
the pioneer spirit hair nets for wom-
en- must have looked like the last word
in superiluous expenditure, especially
II, as was the custom among the pa
triarchs, he had number of wives
all Of whom would want hair nets.
At all events Abraham decided to
get out Of the hair net district and so
he embarked on the great adventure
which persists to this day. II may be
news to Abraham that ten of the
trlbes-that posterlty numberless as
the sands of the desert-were lost,
even more completely lost than the
city of Ur, which has just been un-
earthed after 5000 years In the grave,
but the other ten tribes found them.
selves on their feet wherever they
fetched up and are now among the
solidest cltizenry of the world. Abra-
ham will be glad to hear this. He
made no mistake In leaving Ur, the
hair net city. In vain was the hair
net spread In the sight of the victim.
Abraham was too wise to be taken In
that snare. He took himself and his
daughters and his wives and his maid
servants out of the reach of tempta-
ton. His sons, having families Of
their own, shared Abrahams dislike
Of hair nets and needed no arguments
to emigrate.
In the light Of history, we repeat
that Abraham made no mistake In
leaving Ur. And even II he did, to Ur
