Yes, jersey costumes certainly
have come up in the world!
The material has been glorified
and the costumes themselves
well, we can't see that they
are any different from silk
dress and suit fashions these
days.
Just take a look at some Of
the 1890 jerseys. Lots of plain
colors still, but practically no
dull plain colors. They are all
brighter gayer
more cheerful-brighter blues,
brighter green's and tawny
shades. And they are ever so
much softer and finer than
they used to be.
Newer and very much in
fashion are the patterned
jerseys, for instance, that look
so much like nubby tweeds
that actually you have to pick
them up and inspect them to
be sure they're not tweedS.
Novelty Jerseys
Then there are lace weave jer-
seys-looser, more open and in
definite lace patterns. Striped
jerseys are very much in fash
ion, too. and there are novel
basket weave jerseys that look
like the other basket weave
woolenS.
When you go shopping around
for jersey costumes, you'll find
that they have just taken the
simpler styles in silk costumes
and copied their details.
So you'll find capes, scarfs,
boleros, frills, belts. jabots and
lingerie collars and cuffs on jer-
Sey dresses.
Jersey Jacket Costumes
And jacket costumes have
their nipped-in waiStlineS, belts
and even peplums. g..
Isn't this all good news! For

American Legion Bali Set for

The annual ball Of the de-
partment Of the District of
Columbia, the American Legion,
which takes place tonight at
the Mayflower Hotel from 8 to
l o'clock, will be the mecca
for legionnaires and their
friends and is expected to be
one Of the most colorful az
fairs in the history Of this
local veterans organization.
The color scheme will be en-
hanced by the uniforms of
Uncle Sans veterans side by
side with the military and
naval uniforms of the allied
nations which participated in
the World War. The ball will
be held in the large ballroom
and the Chinese room, with
the orchestra located between
the two rooms. The boxes in
the large ballroom will be dec
grated with the colors of the
various posts and veteran or
ganizations, together with the
American flags of each or.
ganization. In the Chinese
room the national colors Of the
allied nations will be displayed
to form the background for the
dancers. During an intermis-

Originality Predominates in
New Evening Wraps
BY Wilma La Vile

either soft or clinging, or stiff
with a hidden softness. is good
for some type of evening wrap.
You may be surprised at the
use of velveteen, but it Is very
charming for wraps that come
just to the waistline. and is in
lovely colors to combine with
pastel or white gowns. Their
length is another new point.
for practically all wraps are
short, to the hips or just to
the waistline. OF course
occasionally you see q long
wrap. but very seldom, for it
must not only be very care
fully made and worn, but it
can usually be worn only with
one evening gown, for which
it is made. Little wraps that
come Just to the waist and
wrap far over are extremely
smart, but perhaps more
popular, and also more practi-
cal are those of hip length,
either with or without sleeves.
as they afford q bit more
warmth and protection.
Fashion uses more imagina-
ton and abandon about the col
orS Of evening wraps than she
does in gowns, for they more
often contrast than they match
with the gown. Strong, vivid
colors are good for wraps, such
as orange, jade green, cerise,
and so forth, as well as white,
black and neutral tones. Printed
taffeta Is good, especially when
it Is worn with q filmy white
frock. .....
Dressmaker details are used
on nearly all wraps. They have
capes, capelets, tiers, ruffles,
jabots and many good wraps
have a scarf or bow somewhere.
They are usually without fur for
summer. The capes are cut with
enough width for the elbows,
and are most often held closely
about the hips or waist,
We are sketching two smart
taffeta wraps that we found in
a Washington store, typical Of
the cape type, and Of the wrap
with little capelet and ruffle.
One illustrates the lowered
wrap, the other is In pastels.

It's a picnic instrument, &C
cording to Mrs. Owen, who is
by way Of being a musician.
She plays the piano and sings
quite beautifully. She uses her
accordion for out-of-d door. parties,
boat trips, and picnics on the
sands Of Florida.
After a hard days work in
the House, Mrs. Owen is wont
to return to her apartment in
the Methodist Building and re-
store her peace Of mind with a
concert Of songs Of the South.
Only her most intimate friends
have enjoyed the honor Of
hearing the Congresswoman
perform, but the nonored ones
join in declaring her possessed
of a most remarkable gift.
Back From South
Mrs. Owen returned this
morning from Florida where she
had gone to chaperon a recent
delegation Of Florida young
Sters back home.
The children. SO Of them Sc
lected from the various high
schools in her district, had
been invited to Washington as
guests of Mrs. Owen. They
were named by their school
mates as the most representa-
tive in their group.
The House Of Representatives
boasts Of q number Of musicians
among its ranks. The Speaker,
Nicholas Longworth, himself is
a gifted violinist and frequently
stages private little concerts for
his friends at the LongWorth
home on Massachusetts, Avenue.
Two Should Meet
Mrs. owen does not claim to
be a professional or, modestly,
to be as an expert a musician
as Mr.. Longworth. Her admirers
however, are convinced that
should the two meet in a muSi-
cal duel the Floridian could hold
her own.
Incidently the Naccordian as
an instrument is rapidly gaining
in favor in Washington. It's
sweet and plaintive strains have
an appeal all their OF h and
seen to be particularly suited
for accompaniments, as Mrs.
Owen uses hers, and for South
ern melodies.

nor Of New York and Mrs.
O'Connor entertained q small
party at dinner last evening

look strangely out of place,
and very few of them will find
a place in this summers ward
robe. And in no other phase
of the mode has there been
more change than in evening
wraps.
There's more originality of
fabric in the new evening
wraps than usual. Taffeta,
MORE, velvet, velveteen, chif-
fon, and so on the list runs.
Nearly every material that is

even silk? OF course It could.
The dress has its lingerie collar
and softly full skirt; the jacket
has the fashionable peplum and
tied belt.
And we think you1l see very
few silk cape costumes any
smarter than this one Of jer-
sey with its so Interestingly
draped scarf.
Hats that top off these jer.
sey costumes are very much
in fashion when they are Of

WIDER BALTIMORE HIGHWAY
Planned Between Philadelphia and

Planned Between Philadelphia and
Maryland Metropolis Near Future
Pierre s. DUPONT gave his hearty
approval and endorsement to a
plan for the Strengthening, widen
ing and resurfacing of the Balti-
more pike, particularly between
Wawa, Pa, and the Pennsylvania
Maryland line. A bill providing
for appropriation Of State funds for
this work will be submitted short
ly after the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture goes into session at Harris
burg. Mr.. DUPONT expressed his
opinion on the bill during a ban
quet held in the american Legion
Hall at Kennett Square, Pa, We'd
nesday, by the Delaware and Ches-
ter Counties Chapter, u. S. No.
Highway Association. Mr.. dupont
urged those working for improve
men of the highway not to become
discouraged by obstacles which
win look simple enough once they
have been passed. and forcefully
suggested that ample width of
right of way should be secured to
permit widening in the future. He
proposed members of the associa-
ton should work to persuade land
owners to give the necessary
