Paint Will Do
Most ANYTHING

There's nothing she can't do with
can of paint and paint Brush said
one young woman enthusiastically about
another And she has a perfect pas
sion for doing it, too. Shed rather
paint things than eat or dance"
What this young woman liked to
paint, we learned, was not miniatures.
or. portraits, or even decorations on
china, but such things as wicker furni-
ture, window sills, porch floors and even
the family automobile when it needed it..
With her talent for painting she was
able at very small expense to transform
a rather ordinary sort of sun parlor
and some odds and ends of wicker fur
niture into one of the most delightful
rooms of the sort
One thing that this young woman in
Slsts on, however. is that she should
always have her paints mixed by the
professional paint dealer. If she is
going TO do a very small job, she will
use a small can of ready-mixed paints,
but otherwise she goes to paint dealer
who can be trusted and gets him to mix
the desired quantity of paint for her.
She insists that she owes much of her
success to this precaution.
She has also been able to furnish
several rooms in her house at rather
small expense by using implanted furni-
ture which she has painted to suit
herself. Now many persons seem to
be of the opinion that implanted fur
niture is so expensive that it is not
worth the trouble of painting it for
themselves. However, 1t really is pos
sible through some searching to find at
tractive pieces of the implanted sort at
small cost.
Don't imagine for a minute that
painting is easy. One reason why this
young woman likes the worl: IS because
it really is difficult and therefore we'll
worth her best efforts.

Luxury in New PoCketboOks

Dame Fashion demands that every
woman have at least four purses. First,
a purse for general daytime, such as
shopping, business, travel Second, the
festive sports purse. Third, the more
elegant and dignifled bag for dresSy
daytime things. such as Mncheons Of
Importance, matineeS, teas and recep-
tons Fourth. the evening bag.
If one travels, a dull green. calfskin
passport bag, with FIVE compartments
all designating their uses, such as one
so on, is proving popular. 1t has q
double clasp.
For sports purposes, one may use the
same tweed or silk as ones suit or
frock, or one may have a jaunty beret
scarf and purse set in the gayeSt of
prints from georgette to hand-blocked
linen and challis. Triangle challiS purse
and scarf come in amber, purple and
beige tones. The purse has an amber
frame, as shell or silver frames are very
much the vogue.
A beige antelope bag from Paris Is
decorated with modernistic carved and
inlaid wood. The inlay gives an ex-
tremely smart and trim effect
The dignified and elegant purse takes
TO embroidery this Spring. One French
printed bag in royal blues and many
grays has an expensive platinum clasp,
in keeping with the penchant which
so many people are feeling nowadays
for the ornate. Often there are hand
bags, with the frames handsome ham
mered silver, a finely jeweled metal,
with chain handles.
Wool is a popular and fitting decora-
ton. Lovely colored flowers in some
conventional or modernistic design on
faille are q good choice.
Rich bits OF embroidery make some

Our LAYER Cake.

Most of us when we say cake mean
layer cake. One of the things that 5he
American traveller in Europe finds dis
appointing is the lack Of this American
delicacy. The French, by cake, usually
mean small very richly frosted cake;
the English mean rather dry loaf
cakes And some Americans go from
tea shop to patiserie looking for a
piece of luscious chocolate or cocoanut
layer cake.
Foreign visitors to the country some
times think our cake is indigestible and
over rich. However, even a rich choco-
late layer cake is perfectly whole
some dessert if it is well made. Further
more it should be eaten alone and not
an adjunct of a rich ice cream.
There seems to be a general objec-
ton to fresh baked things, and yet
food specialists have pointed out that
fresh cake, If it is thoroughly masti-
Gated, is more easily digested than cake
a couple of days old. The butter, once
1t has been cooked, is better fresh than
after 1t has stood and this makes fresh
cake more easily digested.
OF course children must be taught
to masticate any freshly baked bread or
cake very thoroughly If they do this
it will not hurt them unless It is too
rich or they have very delicate diges-

Feminine Manners

THERE Is no miStaking the fact that
the new clothes are changing our
manners. You simply can't be hoyden-
ish and casual in frocks that can only
be described as picturesque and charm
ing. Even suits emphasize this piuuant
character which is of such n different
order from that of the abbreviated short
skirt and f1apperish coat of yesteryear.
The trend is to stress this feminine
quality. 1t is called by different names
One designer refers to it as the Quaker
influence, and achieves 1t in a dress of
black fiat crepe with a broad collar
such as you will see in william Penn,s
portraits. The elbow-length sleeves
have a wide fiared cuff and an under
cuff of pique.
The tendency to keep the flare or
fullness in our skirts well toward the
hem also tends to make the skirts more
demure. 1t was we'll illustrated in an
embroidered batiste frock belted at the
high waiStline with black velvet ribbon
tying in a bow with long streamers In
the back and long sweeping skirt with
pleated frill around the ankles. The
fichu at the neck. outlined with mar
rover pleated frill. further emphasized
the feminine tendency of the new
clothes.

may be worn on perfectly plain black

may be used on felt turban to hold

single Inhibition fastening, and a
skirt of circular cut or with pleats let
in at the front or sides-that is our
picture of the 1880 tailored suit. But
there are so many variations
coats, belted coats, peplums and cuta-
ways. Even in the strictly tailored class
there are the single-breasted jackets
with notched collars and cutaway fronts
competing for favor with double
breasted jackets showing a shawl collar.
The straight unbelted bolero type
originated with Augustabernards Patou
favors the slightly flaring peplum with
flare at the sides accented in similar
flares at the sides of the skirt. The
O'Rossen suit-and it has become al
most classic-haS four low placed
buttons, four pockets and a notched
collar. The skirts of his more tailored
suits have some variety of pleating while
those of his more dreSSy suits are cut
circular and Tapped over in the front.
A FLARE at the sides is emphasized
in many new skirts. There is
usually yoke and from it the skirt
DIVORCES either through scanned or flared
treatments, retaining straight lines in
the front and back with flares at each
side, sometimes accented by the addi-
ton of godets. without exception the
hemline is even and from four to six
inches below the knee. When pleats
are let in they are very often left I'M
pressed so that the effect of soft fullness
is gained
You will find cape of some sort on
short as well as three quarter length
jackets. Sometimes it is a mere cape
let, little more than an ambitious collar
trimmed with fur, but more often 1t is
an al-around cape swinging to the
elbow, or split in the back and flaring
over either shoulder. CapeS are often
used on the dreSsier type Of suit, of the
lighter weight fabrics.

Shakespeare, of course. never saw

More than that, handbags have de-
veloped a relationship theme. They
are no longer the Orphan Armies Of

ones ensemble and frock. In colors

WHENEVER the conversation
M turns to clothes 1t is sure to
w light on the return of the
suit. And great is the re-
Joicing ut this swing of the
FASHION pendulum. For the tailor-type
suit has long been considered an Ameri-
can institution. 1t Is especially becom-
ing to our American women, is practical
and economical, and solves the problem
of choosing the right costume for every
daytime occasion
There Is a strangely familiar look to
the 1880 versions, although theig
variety has been greatly increased until
this Spring there are strictly business
like suits, the more formal afternoon
suits and the sports suit While there
is much overlapping of types, 1t is
noticeable that sports clothes are more
and more restricted to country and
actual sports wear.
For the strictly tailored suit. the
one in which we shall greet the Spring
in town, there are many of the woolens
Of the sort that we have always associ-
ated with suits-mannish suitings,
worsteds of the sharkskin order,
coverts and even some serge. For the
more formal suit. there are suede cloth.
broadcloth, or other lightweight
woolens
There are suits of the sports sort in
which three woolens are combined, a
finer tweed for the skirt and jacket a
more loosely woven. nubbier tweed for
the topcoat and q patterned jersey for
the blouse. 1t Is in the jackets OF these
suits that the material is gathered in
ct the natural waistiine with a narrow

A SUITS nave been declared trumpS
~ for Spring, We predict that,
a with them, fashion will score
4 n grand slam when the game is
played.
One very good reason Why suits will
succeed this Spring as they could not
have succeeded last season or at any
time within the past decade is because
waiStlineS have returned. Though not
tightly drawn they are well defined and
they are normal-and the Skirt-and-
Jacket suit to be worn with any COM
fort or good effect by the majority of
women demands definite placing of the
belt.
All during those years when it was
the fashion to ignore the waistline or
to locate 1t first above and then below
the place that is called normal, suits
were almost entirely ignored in this
country. In France the tradition of the
suit was carried on. The suit appeared
there every Spring, sponsored as the
favorite street costume by large num-
Der of well dressed women.
Possibly this was because French
women are willing to take more pains
In matters of dress, or possibly because
they never felt quite as strongly OPP
posed to waiStlines as we did during
the epoch OF Straightline silhouetteS.
"A MOTHER factor that may have had
= something to do with the return
of the suit is the longer skirt that is
now accepted as part of the mode for
Spring. Only the very tall, slender
woman could ever afford to wear a
jacket suit with a very short skirt.
This does not mean that suits are to
have really long skirts-but four or
five inches of material make a world
OF differences when they are the four
or five inches that hide the knee.
ANY woman would look grotesque
now who showed her knees remarked
a fashion expert the other day. Knees
always did look groteSQue," she added,
only We didn't know it."
One cannot take four or i've inches
below the knees as guide for the
suit length for every woman, but the
rule that practical daytime clothes, in
Guiding suits, should hang about is
inches from the ground Is q good one
to follow possibly little shorter for
the very tall woman, and just a shade
longer for the woman who is exception

Gloves Are Called
For in Evening

For the months that remain before
really warm weather gloves for evening
and formal afternoon wear will con-
tinue to play an important role in the
wellAdressed womans wardrobe. It is
fair now to say that no formal evening
ensemble is complete without its pair
Of long gloves. which are usually worn
loosely drawn up to within an inch or
so of the elbows
Many Of the younger women choose
black gloves-suede or glace-for wear
not only with black dresses, but with
light-toned ones as well. The more
usual choice Is the suede glove Of white
or very light tint, which may be of the
pull-on sort or made with buttoned
opening at the wrist At the formal
dinner the gloves may be removed or,
If the buttoned sort are worn, the hand
section may be drawn of and tucked
neatly In at the wrist.

The feminine quality is always eFn-
phasized in some way or other-by
means of slight flare to the skirt, O

et very often by . slight shaping Of
the sleeves about the wrists with Q
little flare over the hands.
Lacking any Of these feminine touch

BANDITS REVIVE
ANCIENT METHOD
District Resident Reports He Was
Robbed After 0beying
"Stop Sign"

The old red light" robber may give
place to the stop sign" bandit, If the
reported robbery of Earl Green at Mich
igan avenue and First street early today
indicates a revival of methods long since
discarded by local highwaymen.
Green was en- route home to 1904
Kansas avenue from his night work at
a downtown printing plant. He, In
obedience to the regulations, halted his
automobile before the stop" sign at
First and Michigan. It was 4 o'clock
in the morning and he said he saw
two suspicious looking persons were
lettering nearby.
AS soon as he applied the brakes,
Green said, the two men leaped on the
cars running board. One pressed a
pistol into the drivers side, while his
confederate waved another pistol in
Green said they forced him to hand
over $32, most of the weeks pay ne
had just drawn. Not content with the
money, the robbers ordered Green from
his car, made him sit on the running
board and remove his shoes, which
were seized, and Green was ordered 10
drive on.
Green said he drove home, put on
another pair Of shoes and, accompanied
by his mother, drove to the nearest
police precinct to make report. He
was able to furnish officers good deScrip-
lions of the men.
Several years ago, police records show,
motorists who were halted at lonely in
tersections by electric trafnc signals
were victims of highwaymen. 1t re-
uuired police several months to break
up this practice.

ONE TELETYPE SETTER
RUNS SIX MACHINES
Operator in One City Sets Type in
Newspaper Plants in Half
Dozen Other Towns.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, August g.
From single keyboard in White Plains,
Linotype machines were operated in six
cities of Westminster County last night.
On teletypesetter an operator
punched out a story which was auto
matically set up in lines and nodded
by Linotype machines in six other
plants of the Westchester County Pub
fishers, INC, which publishes seven
newspapers in the county.
The teletypesetter is a combination
of the Linotype and machines now used
by press associations in sending their
news from city to city.
Combinations of holes, each combina-
ton representing letter or figure, are
punched in heavy composition tape at
the master keyboard This tape, run
ming through distributor, sends cleo
trical impulses over telegraph wires to a
receiving set in another city, which re-
punches the combinations in tape. This
tape then is run through the electric
keyboard of the Linotype, causing the
keys to be repressed and releasing the
matrices from which the slug line Of
lead is nodded exactly as it goes into
the forms.
