Three Quarter Coat
Fitted coats in severe tailor style
are among the features shown for the
coming season and are eminently
smart as well as becoming to the
greater number of womankind This
one allows a choice of three quarter
or arm length and can be made as
ttyjy zr
part of a costume or as a separate
rap as may be preferred In the
case of the model the material is wood
brown cloth with bands of the same
stitched with corticelli silk as a fin
ish but the list of available materials
is almost limitless and the bands can
be of the same or of contrasting cloth
or silk as may be desired
The coat is made with fronts backs
sidebacks and double under arm gores
the side front and side back seams be
ing continued to the shoulders so
making long and graceful lines The
sleeves are in regulation style with
slight fullness at the shoulders which
gives the broad effect that is the lat
est edict of fashion
The quantity of material required
for the medium sizes is 5 yards 27
inches wide 4 yards 44 inches wide

quarter length 4 yards 27 inches

For the Garden Party
Garden party gowns require some
thing very picturesque in the way of
hats and among the most fashionable
styles now worn are the Dolly Varden
and the ever beautiful Gainsborough
two very opposite styles but both
having a very great deal to commend
them The Dolly Varden hat looks
best as an accompaniment to a sim
ple white muslin or chiffon gown For
instance such a one as that Diane
that I admired so much at a garden
party on Saturday afternoon The
pretty white chiffon dress with many
frills was distinctly in 1830 style
with its long sash ends and soft belt
of pale blue ribbon and the Dolly Var
den hat was a veritable inspiration
with its full frilled brim of white
chiffon and crown of closely massed
pale pink roses Gainsborough hats
look best always in black gathered
tulle is altogether admirable and a
long sweeping ostrich plume gives an
air of dignity and picturesqueness to
an elaborate costume TTvMiange

Some Beauty Donts
Dont neglect the daily bath if you
want a radiant complexion
Dont be afraid of friction for the
face freshness is prolonged by the
tepid bath in which bran has been
stirred followed by long friction
This keeps the blood at the surface
Dont bathe the face and hands in
card water Soften it with a little
powdered borax or a handiul of oat
meal The excess of lime in hard wa
ter neutralizes the oil in the skin
pores and thus hardens the cuticle
Try always to get rain water for the
fl
gate-
entire bath but certainly for the face
It was to the saving virtues cf rain
water that many beauties of romance
owed their charms Did not Diane of
Poitiers preserve her beauty by the
use of rain water
Dont bathe the face while it is very
warm or very cold
Dont bathe the face just before go
ing out in the sun or wind
Flavors for Meats
Certain flavors are more appetizing
with some meats than with others
Bits of meat are delicious when made
into salads
From bits of left over mutton make
mutton salad seasoning with mint or
capers
From left over chicken make a sal
ad using celery for flavoring
A delicious beef salad can bo made
by chopping bits of left over beef and
seasoning with tomatoes cucumbers
and bits of celery

The New Skeleton Collars
The girl who has had trouble with
the ruching and ribbon combination
should try one of the new skeleton

ruching does not bear down the rib

viceable This one Is peculiarly grace
ful and can be worn over tho frock
or over tho guimpe alone as may bo
preferred As illustrated tho material

is arranged The closing is made in

Most Popular Colors
The three modish colors this season
are undoubtedly brown blue and
mauve and though as always in sum
mer white is very much worn it is
really astonishing to note how various
shades of brown are daily increasing
in fashionable favor Pale blue is
more enchanting than ever in the thin
transparent fabrics now in vogue and
gowns of this lovely color seem to be
mostly accompanied by pale blue chip
or fancy straw hats trimmed with
white lace and a pale pink rose or
two and a long stole of white mara
bout or ostrich feather or lace Of
white lace stoles to be worn with a
pale blue gown undoubtedly the most
chic is one edged with palest pink
banksia roses arranged in applique
Mauve is the favorite color of several
royal ladies and they loyally taking
their cue from those in high places
have set the great seal of fashion up
on this delightful color which is so
particularly becoming to fair women
and for real dainty delicate beauty
commend me to a mauve gown with a
white toque or hat and a white stole
to correspond
Simple Skin Food
A simple food for the skin is made

On the College Man
A University of Michigan man who
was in Ithaca during navy week has
the distinction of having seen the Cor
nell campus under the most peculiar
circumstances on record
The Ann Arbor man was a guest of
a Cornell alumnus at ono of the fra
ternity lodges located on the outskirts
of the campus The two had retired
at a late hour Saturday night and lay
for a long time swapping yarns of col
lege life Sleep was impossible
About two oclock Sunday morning
the Westerner remarked that he had
never seen the Cornell campus Here
was a chance for the Cornell grad
His former undergraduate spirit re
turned Come on he said Ill
show you the campus in proper style
Dont wait to dress well go as Ave
are
The Cornell man wore a suit cf pink
pajamas and the other a white night
shirt On their bare feet they crept
quietly out of the house and by the
light of the bright moon the Michigan
man viewed the stately halls to great
advantage It was a chilly night but
when they got cold they ran for a spell
and warmed up
They wound up on Eddy street near
the entrance of the college grounds
and with daredevil spirit waited some
time for a trolley car When none ap
peared the Cornell man happened to
remember that he was in Ithaca
where cars do not run all night so
they returned as they had come
