Nothing Revolutionary
In Spring Showinus

NEW YORK.-Nearly $50 of the
nations fashion writer's watched the
first parades of the 10th annual fash
ion shows of spring and summer
clothes with some little trepidation,
thinking of the menace of too dras-
tic lengths, widths, and other much
publicized ideas.
But all is under perfect control. If
the couture group of the New Dress
institute, sponsor of this annual
event, has any shockingly revolu-
tionary collections, it has not sprung
them yet. The new fashions dis
played by Tina Lesser and Eta, who
led off, are without question the
most typically American ideas ever
on display.
Tina Lesser, evidently tired of her
harem effects in theatrical Turkish
favored lounging clothes and of the
continual sparkle of sequins, has
gone American in whimsical, bu-
collie manner. She uses "hillbilly"
cottons with clever assurance.
Lesser 1913 summer play, lounging,
and casual clothes have nostalgia
flavor of strawberry festivals, of
church socials with home made
three layer cakes and ice cream.
They are dresses of sprigged cotton
and of cottons used in patchwork
effects fagoted together with bright
colored thread.

Woman's World
Daily Care Preserves Clothes,
Helps Keep You Well Croomed
by G,tta Haley

DO YOU ever catch yourself ad-
mirlng the woman who always
wears perfectly pressed pleats in
her skirt, soap-and-water clean lin
gerie touches on her dress, no gap
ing seams or travelling hemlines?
You can do it too, if you will give
few minutes of daily care to your
clothing.
The trick to keeping your ward
robe-no matter how modest or in
expensive it may be-in perfect or
der is never to let the mending or
solllng pile up until it looks like an
unsurmountable task.
When seams cape, when bottom
pops OFT or part of snap falls off,
take care of it Immediately. Clean
up spots as they appear for they're
much easier to remove that way.
Do small bit of laundry every day
instead of once week when you
may be too busy to devote all the
time necessary to it.
Here is List
For Daily Use
All lingerie should be given daily
sudsing. This includes hose, slips,
panties, bras, ct cetera. Only the
slips in the lingerie category need
ironing, and after they are clean,
you may let them pile up and do
several at once.
Take tip from the men and brush
or shine or otherwise clean your
shoes. Include your rubbers or over
shoes, too, during such weather as
you may use them.
Do quick mending jobs daily. This
includes replacement of buttons,

Solve Your Skirt
Problems Easily
One of the major wardrobe prob
lens now may be in letting out your
hens, as the trend still is for long
er skirts. Not all skirts, dresses and
coats have enough hem for letting
out, but if they can be let out prop
erly and still be Is inches from the
floor, then your garments still are
wearable.
Steam press wool hens on the
wrong side to overcome shininess
after ripping. This applies to light
weight woods and those materials
which contain raised pattern in the
weave.
Thick woolens may require steam
pressing from the right side. Do not
slide the iron back and forth on a
surface where this would cause
mating.
If shine persists, raise the nap by
brushing with a clean brush or
a rubber sponge.
Be very careful when pressing
acetate rayon, for too hot an iron
will melt the material and cause a
shine that cannot be removed.
Lengthen Skirts
BY These Methods
Material to lengthen the skirt may
be added in several ways: Add a
yoke, or insert contrasting bands in
the skirt. The band motif also NAV
be carried out in the sleeves or in
collar. trim.
II you set some contrasting mate
rial at the waistline, the skirt length
can be dropped. Also, the new
heightened waist effect also can be
adopted by use of hip length blouse
or peplum.
A conspicuous line left where the

the goods over on the right side and
roll the crease back and forth in the

Faster Bob.Sleddino

The first sled known was the an
Gent bone skis. Two bones were
fastened together by strip of ami
NAL leather. Several thousand
years later the toboggan came into
existence. At first it was flat board,
polished and used as a sport, not
for practical purposes. The tobog-
gan, as built in those days, was too
slow to suit the snow coasting fans,
SO they developed the bob-sled.
Bob-sled races are of two-man bob
bling and four-man bobbing. When
four men are on the bob-sleds, the
two center ones serve as ballast.
Bob-sleds gather speed of IS to
70 miles an hour.
