Idea Should ee to Have One Frock Whfch Can' Be Made to Do Duty for Many Occasions An Illustration. The woman who can only afford one gown of a dressy nature each season naturally looks out for a irodcl and material which will permit the cos tume being worn for many different sorts of occasions. The great voguo ot silk allows this all-round use for a fine frock, especial ly If tho gown Is mado ot satin foulard, for this shimmering and handsome texturo may be mado to look ax plain or as elegant as ono wishes. Where tho dress la to do some duty for even ing, it is well to have a round decol letage, which would bo filled in on day occasions with a high, long-sleeved gulmpe. Then, slnco no dress can bo line without a tunic of somo sort. It ono happens upon a short pattern ot silk, it is tho easiest thing in tho world to eke It Out with an overdress of marqulsetto, veiling or chiffon. Tbo marquisette Is first couBln to chiffon, and Is of so diaphanous a texture, in deed, that it is sometimes used for au tomobile veils. With a walking skirt for tho more dressy ot the tunic dresses arc slight ly trained tho overdress may bo tho dinkiest little affair, no more than an apron, in fact, and with the lower edge cut with a fish-tall curve. A distinct madnesa of the moment is a bunchy overskirt effect, which is made by gathering tho outside skirt very full over tho foundation one, and then tying It about below the knoes with a ribbon sash. This Is a very good design for a foulard dress, and there Is always tho comfort that the next year there will bo enough material in tho gown to mako it over in a new style. Figured and plain pongees and shantung silk respond excellently to tho limp lines and tailored effects of tho moment, and a well made dress in any ono of these materials Is both a comfort and a valuable possession, for such textures are delightfully cool, and old dresses In them may always bo dyed and cut down for children. Natural colored shantung a brown ish yellow is very stylish and washes llko a rag. Tho one-piece dresses In this effective material look very pretty with the white lace and net yokes which still enliven everything. Tho illustration shows a girlish model which would adapt itself charmingly to nil bordered materials, such as muslin, pongee, marquisette, chiffon, etc., but tho dress could also bo mado In a plain goods rith an ap plied bordering of ribbon or lao cntre deux. As Illustrated, the llttlo dress DAY WAIST TO MATCH GOWN Or May Be Made a Splendid House Af fair, If Such a Garment Is ' More Desired. This day waist Is In a dim shade ot plum crepo do chine, and it gives the horizontal disposal of the trimming. Tho garment fastens In tho back under a narrow stitched plalL no part of the trimming other than tucks showing there. At tho front there Is a lavish treatment with Insets ot net-lacos, tucks, embroidery and small silk but tons. The small mutton-leg sleeves display tho amount of fullness now ad mitted tho long arm covering, and tho stock is in the form of a straight band FEMININEl i Is of novelty veiling, black Bpots on a dead white ground, and it is put over silk In ono of the new rich shades of bluo, and belted with tho same color., The high gulmpe is of all-over loco, and put over a gilt webbing. A moro practical gown in this de signfor this combination strikes tho last noto of elegance could be of any of the little silks now used, and which may be bought for from 49 cents a yard up. and still seem smart and fine; for It all depends on how you treat these cheap Bilks whether the dress Is exquisite or tawdry. My own taste would be to trim them very plainly with tucking or ribbon bands, and havo the yoke of a modest rather than a flamboyant nature. There are some fancy nets, which rr-pond most charmingly to well mado yokes and gulmpes, and to ray mind theso aro far prettier for summer than yokes of richer laco. t of the ombroldory between two of tho lace, Such a waist could bo developed very prettily In nny thin veiling that would match the gown color, or elso be made quite a splendid house affair, if made in all-white. Where time must be economized, the embroidery could bo left off, as tho box plaits upon which this appeurs are in themselves decorative. With tho trimming further slmpll fled, this model would be excellent for a practical waist in any wash mate rial The New Sleeve. It Is now definitely fixed that the sleeve with the long shoulder, the full middle piece and the elbow cuff tight to tho arm is to bo In favor. It la seen on all the best models, and It evidently will prevail. The upper sleeve, or cap, Is a bit loose on tho arm, but has no ten dency to be square. It is cut in one with tho bodlco and drops over arm. and Is usually attached to the second division, which Is made of thin fabric, gathered top and bottom. This Just turns the elbow, and Is somewhat fuller under tho arm than on top of 1L It is there gathered Into tho third dl vision, which Is In tho shape ot t long tight cuff, "wrinkled or plain. No matter what tho modifications are, this seems to bo the sleeve of the day. Prints. Wo are approaching a season o prlntB, and wbilo It is needless to In cludo tho much-ln-evldenco foulard, wo see In It tho Keynote. Its figures havo been copied on dim. ity, organdlo, barred muslin, crepo. net ana on cotton touiaru. Every variation of tho floral pattern Is shown on these wasbablo stuffs, and many or them nave tho added richness of tho 6atln or mercerized stripe. Pongees, too, aro printed, and tht wholo tale has not been told without mention of tho stamped and figured chiffons, which show forth a perfec tion not found in any other fabric. HER KINDLY VERDICT Naturally ono would expect' the Lnkchurst Country club to be at Lakc-t hurst That was why, when tho con-i ductor of tho suburban train shouted; "LakehurstI" Dllklns aroso and got off. The sight of tho station of stucco nnd the gravel walks was cheering for somehow it seemed that with all) this up-to dntoncsB for a start It prom ise! well for n good dlnnor, nnd Dili kins was hungry. When the Spnffords had Invited blm to dine with them Sunday nt tho Lake hurst club Spafford had said: "You know where It Is, don't you?" DllklnB well awaro thut for ono to betrny Ig-i norance of tho Lakehurst club was to announce ono's self outsldo the so cial, pale, had answered nlrlly that of course ho knew. Ho accepted tho reminder that If he missed the 12:30 train he would bo late for dinner with the air of being perfectly familiar with tho train service In that direction. Spafford had added slyly that HIbr Hlgglns, who was to make tho fourth of the little party, was a mighty pretty girl. Of course. If Dllklns had Inquired of the station agent It would havo been different, but spying what evi dently was a largo clubhouse a quar-i tcr of a milo away, he sot out briskly in Its direction. Ho was' cnjoylrip himself hugely. He could not havo been doing It any better had he dined ana gouca ui mo uiKenurst ciuo tor years. Tho deferential man in buttons, at tho club door fitted Into tho picture nnd the man in the checkroom com? pleted Dllklns' peaco of mind. He liked things to be in keeping. Tho Spaffords wero not in sight, but thea their machine might have broken down. Dllklns wandered back and forth un comfortably. He noticed the cferk at tho desk furtively discussing him with the man in buttons. Finally, aa Dllklns passed tho desk In his pere grinations, tho clerk coughed. "Er wero you expecting to meet some ono?" ho inquired. "Yes." said Dllklns. "Tho Spaf fords. I'm to dlno with thorn" "Spafford?" repeated tho clerk sad- ly. "There isn't any Spafford belong ing to the club!" When Dllklns and tbo clerk caiho- to understand each other Dllklns had learned that ho was not In tho Lake hurst club. Ho was In the Star Ten nis and Golf club at Lakehurst and' the Lakehurst Country club waa at the next station, Wilmore. Just, why It was at Wilmore when It was named, after Lakehurst the clerk could not tell tho indignant Dllklns. Ho be lieved It had been built before tho rallroad station was established and somebody who thought tho spot looked; ns though it ought to be named Wil more waa responsible for tho compli cation. Dllklns got his coat and hnt and was respectfully bowed out, feeling: llko a horso thleL Ho walked very hurriedly to tho stucco station to wait for tho next train, a half-hour off. He felt very bitter. Still, maybo dlnnor would bo lato and he would not have to reveal his crude mistake. Slnce MIss Hlgglns was a very pretty girl., she was likely to be Intolerant of mis takes, and ho bated to bo laughed at. Desldes, It would show that ho not only was Ignorant of tho Lakehurst club, but that ho had been making a. cheap bluff. Ho was In a Btato of nervous ten sion when ho finally alighted at Wil more. Ho sighed with relief nt the slght of a vehicle labeled "Clubhouse bus" and climbed In. This would ex pedite matters. If worst camo to worst, ho could tell tho Spaffords that ho had missed the 12:30 train and had to tako tho next one. Well, ho had taken It, hadn't ho? Engaged In these reflections, Dllklna did not realize at first that tho bus had really stopped. "Hotel!" cried tho driver, opening, the door. Dllklns, speechless, looked. It wn Indeed the small hotel of Wilmore There was no sign of Its being even tho remotest Imitation of a clubhouse and Dllklns was so hungry by this time that he could havo eaten tin cans with a relish. "I want tho Lakehurst clubhouse,'" ho explained, grimly. "Oh," said the driver, "that'B a mile down the other road Just three blocks tho other sldo of tho station!" Tho driver took Dllklns to tho club house for J2. It was then 2:30 o'clock. Dllklns found tho Spaffords nnd. Mlsa Hlgglns. They all woro tho con tented, complacent and tolerant look of those who have dined well, thus ma king Dllklns feel younger than ever. Just as ho had finished an elaborate ly varnished tnlo of missing tho train.. Churkotts, a mutual friend, strolled up. "Hello, Dllklns," ho said. "Didn't I seo you getting off tho 12:30 at Lake hurst and heading toward tho Star club? I didn't know you ever went there!" Dllklns after ono slaying glnnco nt tho Innocent Churkotts, turned hum bly to tho Spaffords. "Say," ho mur mured, "I'm not even a good Jlnr. Anyhow, If 1 didn't know whero your confounded old club was, you m(ght forget It and tako mo out nnd feed mo before I die nt your foot!" "I think tho wholo thing Is dollclous ly funny, Mr. DllklnB!" cried Miss Hlg glns, who was Indeod dlstrnctlngly pretty. "Do you?" asked Dllklns, thankfully "Well, I feel bettor nlreadyl"
