w HEN summer clothes begin to
w take on a jaded and some
what worse-for-wear "has been"
air, and you are loath to force the
season by donning advance fall
fashions before the psychological
moment arrives, then what? Aye,
that's the problem that has de-
stroyed perfectly good dispositions
and peace of mind of the fair sex
throughout decades and decades of
time.
However, we are not going to be
tantalized and tormented with such
momentouS worries this midsea-
son, for good news concerning this
question is winging its way fash
ionward at this very moment. It'd
ings of great cheer, they are told
in terms of dresses and suits tai
lored of the black or dark toned
silk sheers, nets and laces which
have come into favor of late as
they never came before. These
cool and comfortable dark sheers
are a perfect blend from summer
to fall. In such you are sure to
hold poise and serenity in the as
surance that you will be smartly
and appropriately costumed all
through the prologue which nature
and the weather man play to
autumn. In fact, no wardrobe
may be said to be complete these
days without at least one tailored
black or dark sheer in its col
lection.
Acquire a two piece gown of
black silk marquisette as shown
to the left in the illustration and
your between-season dress trials
will vanish like dew on a sunny
morn. In regard to selecting a
sheer for dependable wear, per-
hapS few words of advice will
not come amiss. When you buy,
insist on weave of guaranteed
quality. In order to get maximum
service and real joy and satisfac-
ton in the costume you rely upon
to carry you through the between
season valiantly, the sheer of
which it is made should be nothing
less than pure silk and fast dye.
Perish the thought of a shoddy
black that is apt to take on a
greenish bilious cast as cheaper
blacks in cheaper weaves are wont

Here is a little Indispensable
jacket you will want to wear with
your culottes or shorts. 1t is made
of white linen bound in bright col
ors like copen, red, navy or black
with silver buttons. 1t is colorful
and has the decorative buttons be-
cause it is of Tyrolean inspiration
Much of the fashionable sports
wear this season reflects influence
of Austrian peasant dress. The
outstanding fashion note of this at
tractive jacket is the hand-quilted
Trapunto design at the neck and
on the pockets and sleeves. The
vogue for hand-quilting is growing
into a most outstanding style

Latest divorce petition of Alvin Day, per- sonal orderly to the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt during the Spanish American war, has been filed in Juarez, Mexico, according to notification received by Mrs. Day. Her husband charges desertion. Inc structions to contest the divorce ac- tion were wired a Mexican attorney by the Boston Legal Aid society, to which Mrs. Day appealed.
 Mrs. Day was left totally blind by illness which, che charged, resulted from her husband deserting her three years after their marriage. Employed as n weaver at Woolson Home Industries for the Blind at Cambridge, she asserted she was de- pendent upon ore-half her hus- bands $3O-a-imonth pension. T bear my husband no i'll will," she said, "but shall forever fight his attempt to secure divorce. .. I don't want him near me any more, but I'll not allow him divorce.

during last month. Various reasons are to blame for this slight slump, Mir. Goss pointed out.
 The May employment figures were normal in comparison to other months in the current calendar year, Mfr. Goss asserted. While stat ing that there are several reasons for the slight June slump 50 far noted, he refused to elaborate on the subject.
 The fact that employment in the factory this year is better than 1t was Q year ago this time is taken as an indication that business con- ditions are keeping up. The usual summer slump in the brass industry is believed partially responsible for the June drop in figures as corn- pared with the records of the month of Hay.
 However, MT. Goss explained, there has been no definite conform 1ty during the past year to the slump dates that were practically Q matter of set record in previous yeass. Seasonal slumps have begun to occur at various dates, 1t was pointed out, and 50 have the sea- Gonal pick-ups.
 Tn past years the seasonal slump ln the brass industry has occurred An the month of June. The slight Cron in employment figures for the current month, as compared with the May total, is not serious problem at the present time, 1t was declared by the head of the Scovili company.
