LadyIike But
Never Fussy

Fine detail Of stitching,
scanning, and Of hand work
are the means of trimming
this years dresses, so that
they will be interesting, but
not fusSy. Yokes appear on
many of them, and this
again contributes to that
broad d-shouldered look. Rows
Of buttons have a decided
decorative mission, and are
used again and again.
Fagoting is more popular
than ever, and is used on
dresses of every type, Of
every material. Edgings of
all sorts, especially those
done bv hand, are smart
and effective. Then we have
lace with us again, and the
more old-fashioned it looks,
the better. 1t makes yokes,
collars, insets, or may be ap-
pliqued flat to the dress.
Beading and embroidery are
returning slowly, too, but
are not now as popular as
other forms of trimming.

Get out your family photo
graph album and look for
the new dresses. Ii your
album goes far enough back,
you can find many of them,
different. of course, but their
details are repeated this
year. and some of them have
the same femininity, for
mality, and look of elegance
that we have all adopted
with such devotion. Even
materials are reminiscent of
the "nineties, - with rough
surfaced silk prominent and
wOOlens used for dresses
again. Sleeves wear puffs;
waistlines are high, some
times fitted; neckllnes hug
the throat; and this fall we
will add the miniature and
the locket to complete the
1890 illusion.

Wide Shoulders
Make Slim Hips

Perhaps you won't notice
how broad shoulders really
are until you analyze the
new dresses. Sleeves are cut
so as to contribute to this
wide look. Shoulders are
sloping instead of square.
Necklines are higher, and
are usually trimmed"
Puffs are often added above
the elbow, so that you get a
generally wider look. But
most important Of all, waist.
lines have risen just bit,
just an inch or two, and hips
are as slim as it s possible to
get them. These two slight
changes in proportion make
us look much broader at the
top than we really are. So
we achieve the sloping, wide
shouldered look of Queen
Victoria and Empress Eu-
genie without sacrificing one
bit Of our modern smart
ness.

Choose Your Fabrics
By Their Texture

Texture is again important
in dress fabrics, and this is
no doubt one Of the best rea-
sons why woolens are so
popular. Rough surfaces, rib
bed weaves, corded effects
are all good, reminiscent Of
photograph album days.
Undoubtedly the best fab
ric among the silks is Can
ton crepe with a faille weave.
Even satin for daytime has
a crepe back, and is usually
not as lustrous as Satins have
been in recent years. The
woolens are marvels Of weave
and of knitting. for the knit
ted fabrics have quite a
place in the mode. Many

Multiply Your
Chic by Two

Contrast is more impor-
tant than it s ever been, con-
trast of fabric, and contrast
of material, too. Now We
even have dresses that are
almost half in half, as to
color or fabric. Yokes,
bodices, sleeves, collars,
scarfs, any or all of these
may be Of a contrasting
material, and they may be
cleverIy joined by fagoting.
But, after all, these dresses
must be restrained, so it is
not wise to introduce trim
ming of a third color. Lines
should be simple, also, and
decoration modest. This two
color influence goes all the
way from the simplest
woolen frocks for daytime
to gowns for evening. AL
ready Washington shops are
showing combinations of
black and white for evening,
and dresses for daytime that
cleverIy unite wool with
silk, often in two colors.
This combination of two

Basques Must
Be Modified

Even the basque that was
worn by our mothers and
grandmothers has b cen
copied this year. Of course
it isn't as tight, and some
times it looks more like a
jacket with a peplum, but
the waistline is high, and the
general effect is very much
1890. Most of these basqucs
have a high necklinc, or
they have revers that may
be worn high or low, to in
crease the dignity of the
frock. Look for basques in
velvet for dinner and the
cocktail hour, and in canton
crepe for a dress of charm
ing quaintness.

Let Your Sleeves
Garry the Burden

Sleeves in dresses have as
much responsibility resting
on their broad tops as
sleeves in coats haye. To
them is often given the task
of making the dress indi-
vidual, and they prove their
worthiness in every case.
They are doubled, often
with a bell sleeve almost to
the wrist, and a little tight
cuff inside, in the manner
of Vionnet. Or they have
flared cuffs, cavalier fashion,
or they may be bell-shaped,
with no inside cuff. Then
there are puffs, anywhere
from the shoulder to the
wrist, but usually above the
elbow. Puffs are increasing
IN popularity by the day,
and are seen in all types

The Question Is
"How Long"

Skirt lengths are again a
vital question, not because
they have changed radically,
but because It's so impor-
tant to have your skirt just
the right length for the time
of day and for the type of
costume. For general day
time wear, we still say our
skirts are mid-calf length,
but we find that most wOm-
en- prefer their silk dresses
a little longer than their
wool dresses, particularly if
the wOolens are sports-like,
so that they will average
about an inch shorter than
silk dresses. Remember that
mid-calf length means the
middel Of the distance be-
tween the bend of your knee
and your ankle bone. If
your gown is very formal,
you may want it a little
longer, even approaching
ankle length, but beware Of
a dress too long if you have
to wear it under a coat.

FOR SCHOOL BOARD
MEDICAL CONTROL
D. C. Health Officer Opposes
Kramer Plea to Shift In
SpeCtion Doctors.
MURPHY WOULD HEAD
SERVICE AS PROPOSED
Assistant Education Superinten.
dent Holds Present Staff Too
Small for Task.

DR.. William c. Fowler, District health
officer, declared today he would vieor-
ously oppose any movement to transfer
medical service in the public schools to
the jurisdiction Of the Board Of Educa-
ton, as proposed by Stephen E. Kramer,
assistant superintendent Of schools.
Members of the medical profession in
Washington, it is said at the District
Building, are opposed generally to any
abolition Of the present control over
medical inspection which is now lodged
With the Health Department.
DR.. Fowler declared further it has
always been his view that the Board
OF Education should be under the super
vision of the District Commissioners,
the same as other functions OF the Dis
trict government are.
Plan Would Shift so.
Il would see no objection in having
class room instructions on hygiene public
health matters, under the supervision
OF the Board Of Education, but the prac-
t1cal application of the medical service
certainly has no place under the direc-
ton of the school authorities" DR..
Fowler said. ION that score I am
in complete disagreement with Mr..
Kramer"
The effect of the assistant super
intendent's suggestion would be to place
Dr.. Joseph A. Murphy, chief medical
inspector in the schools, and his CORPS
OF so assistants directly under the aiI-
thority of the Board of Education. DIR
Fowler explained, giving the Health De-
partment no voice at all in the medical
inspection.
Holds Staf Too Small.
Mr. Kramer's suggestion that 3 med
1cal staff OF physicians and nurses be
established under the authority of the
Board of Education was made FIRST in
an address several days ago before the
Early Diagnosis Committee Of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Tubercu-
losis and was explained in greater de-
tail yesterday.
Mr.. Kramer already had advocated
the elevation Of physical training and
physical education to the rank of a
major subject in the high schools of the
District. He urged medical stan re-
sponsible tosthe school board as a more
eficient means Of providing school chill
dren with ample medical advice and
examination, which. he commended, Is
impossible with the present compare
lively small staff in the Health De-
partment.

that the chamber vigorously oppose any

employees and others who use this rail-
way, and that this terminal be estab-

The committees understanding was
the company operating the line con-
templated abandonment after being or
dered to vacate its terminal at Twelfth
street and Pennsylvania avenue because
of the Federal triangle building pro-

felt 1t would be unwise to establish the
new terminal for this electric line at
any point north of Pennsylvania avenue.
