In W omans Realm
As an Addition to the Summer Wardrobe. There Is Nothing Better
Than a Frock of White Georgette—Design Shown Is Pretty
and Easy to Make—Some Little Accessories That
Give Appearance of Coolness.
Frocks of white georgette continue
to delight, those who find it necessary
to supplement the summer wardrobe
with an extra dress or so. Women
who are discriminating find In the re
finement ol' this sheer, soft fabric, in
white especially, a charm that is not
to be resisted. The designer of the
pretty model shown had midsummer
days in mind and trimmed it with the
coolest-looking of all color combina
tions. It is banded with green and
white striped satin, and the green is
in a vivid and brilliant shade.
The skirt is plain, gathered in at
the waist line ^nd straight hanging.
its blouse, because these may be made
of the sheerest and softest materials,
mere clouds above the world of fab
rics.
After n glance through the assort
ments of blouses and neckwear, organ
die, crepe georgette and crepe de
chine are firmly impressed upon the
mind in materials. Hemstitching, eye
let work and embroidery and a fash
ion for contrasting colors in trimmings
have developed into the strongest fea
tures in the decoration of summer
blouses and neckwear. There is no
more to be said, for the pretty story
of these summer styles is finished.
OF WHITE GEORGETTE CREPE.
i A wide border of tlie striped satin fin
i islies tlie bottom, and narrow bands of
it are placed above tlie border. They
are all cut on the Idas of tlie goods
I and finished with tiny machine-stitch
ed lieins. Besides their decorative
value these bands give to the
skirt flie required flare at the bottom.
The bodice is plain aud full, tin
j Nlied with a cape collar opening in a
: V at the front. Tlie sleeves are full
| and long, with shaped, flaring cuffs
; that extend over the hands. They are
joined to the sleeves with narrow
bands of satin. The bodice aud skirt
are in one piece and joined by a
wide girdle of the striped satin.
A slip of white taffeta is worn un
| der this frock, and tlie cool sheen of
| the silk is one of the charms of the
I frock.
In spile of its airy texture georgette
proves to be a durable material. A
i !ittle gown of it like that shown here
A cape-collar and two collars with
jahots are pictured here. The cape
collar is of white organdie with scal
loped and embroidered edge and a
band of hemstitching. Between the
hemstitching and the edge there are
little wreaths of embroidered blos
soms centered with eyefaft work.
The collars with jabots are made of
white crepe de chine, finished with pi
cot edges and hemstitching. In one
of them large embroidered dots arc
done in color. Copenhagen blue and
light green being among the favorites.
This collar ojtens in a long point at the
front, and the jabot is gathered to a
band. The other collar is an effective
pattern for either organdie or crepe.
The frills are plnited and finished
with pieot-edge. The V opening at the
throat is short and the jabot fastens
with small, oblong, pearl buttons, down
the front.
Neckwear such as this provides one
-
IN THESE, WEARER LOOKS COOL.
may be made successfully even by the
amateur in dressmaking.
Filmy, fresh and cool-looking clothes
make the woman who wears them a
joy to look upon in the hot days of
midsummer. When she provokes peo
ple to say: “I wish I felt as cool us
you look,” it is assurance that she
has achieved the best results in her
summer apparel. Summer blouses and
summer neckwear are among her first
aids in accomplishing results that
make her a refreshing presence.
In vain the thermometer climbs, in
the presence of crisp, unwiltnble or
gandie, or limp and filmy crepe, that
is as cool looking as a mist. There
fore, the charm of the summer frock
depends upon its collar and cuffs, and
that of the summer street suit, upon
of the means for looking cool In torrid
weather. A good supply of it will help
out the tourist, and much of it Is only
a matter of pretty frills.

Rinse the Hair Well.
It is almost better not to wash the
hair at all than to leave soap In It
There is no better proof that the oil
has not been thoroughly washed than
ito have the soap stick tenaciously
when we try to rinse it out It is held
byf the oil and will not come out until
more soap has been put on and then
rinsed until the water runs clear.
Hats of Crepe.
Hats of georgette crepe, often faced
with a fine straw, seem to have taken
the fancy of the well-dressed Ameri
can woman, for there have been seen
any number of these hats in the last
few weeks. These crepe hats, of pink,
blue, purple or yellow hues, are not
bright tones, but colors that, while Dot
pastel, are a bit dulled from the pri
mary or secondary pure tones, The
hats are backed by a fine silk, which
makes it almost impossible to tell at a
little distance that the bat is of crepe.
I It seems to take on from its lining a
' sort of velvety tone. Ribbons and
flowers, sparingly used, are the prin
cipal decoration of these bats. They
are mostly sailor or shepherdess
forms.
Quaint Novelties.
The smartest modistes are display,
ing novelties which surely cotne undei
the heading "quaint"—hoops on the
hips, for example, and mantles which
mold the shoulders after the manner
of the dolman of yesteryear.

The only happy people in the world are the successful ones, and the
successful ones are the workers. Downright laziness on their own part
is not only the chief reason for the whimperings of those who have failed,
but is the root of their lack of judgment.
A person may be dead wrong, may have an altogether impossible
viewpoint, but good, hard labor soon finds the many experiences which
bring sound judgment. This is especially true in the art world, the tech
nique of painting, sculpture, music, architecture and acting can be
imparted from teacher to pupil, hut the real art which is to inspire the use
of tliis knowledge and to bring forth a worthy result, can only lie gained
through an esthetic background, or by experience.
I will bank upon a stolid plodder with ambitions’, whether be lias
much genius or not, ahead of any genius who does not have the ability
to concentrate, and a ceaseless industry. When the genius is also a worker,
lie absolutely becomes a master, hut no genius, lazy, ever became anything
hut an exotic fop winning the sympathy of his friends, the love of a few
more weaklings and the scorn of the rest of the world, and when he dies
in poverty and without honor, the world says: “Oh. how sad, such a beau
tiful spirit, and wonderful genius unappreciated by the world, which
should have received him with open arms.” Laziness is the major trouble.

Outdoor Living Brings

offices and buildings artficially heated
during the cold season. Our places
in which we spend so many hours
during the winters and early spring
Jays are far from having perfect

mild weather conditions to got all the
fresh air possible to build our physical
bodies up so as to resist the unfavor

during the cold months of the year.
This should apply to all ages, es

you have dead pockets of air in your

Clean, well aired, homes built so as
to admit of plenty of fresh air all the

will do much to bring health to the

“I see we are facing a new crisis

Some New Ways of Getting
Best of That Trisky Memory.
The old method of tying a string
about tiie finger to recall to mind some
task to be done at a certain time has
been done away with. The new way
is to transfer it ring from one finger
to another. On the accustomed fin
ger tin* ring feels natural and does
not cause annoyance, hut on any oth
er finger it slightly irritates. This ir
ritation constantly will aid in recalling
tiie task to be done. Just try it once.
Another and more novel way is to
carry a colored ribbon in the coat
pocket. Suppose, now. you are in
your office. Your wife phones you
to be sure and bring home a certain
thing. Go to your coat hanging ou
the office rack, take out tiie ribbon,
and tie it tightly around a sleeve.
At night when you start to go home
your fist will jam itself against the
tied sleeve. “Oh. yes," you will say to
yourself, “there's that cough sirup Mol
ly told nte to bo sure and bring home
tonight,” and off you will go at once
to make the purchase.
: POULTY POINTERS :
• •
•••••••••••••••••••••••••a
Dispose of till the old stock you do
not need. This had best tie done now,
while prices are good and before the
annual molt starts.
The feeding of milk to young chicks
has a most favorable influence on the
growth and on lessening the mortality.
It tends to prevent mortality from all
causes, and if fed soon enough and for
a sufficiently long period greatly re
duces the ilea ill rate caused l»y bacil
lary white diarrhea.
The hot weather is already giving
the plumage a rusty appearance, and
it will grow worse from now on until
molting time.
Keep the chicks free from lice; keep
them growing, for every little atten
tion tells and brings nearer the cov
eted blue ribbon.
A splendid raixtre for laying liens
is equal parts of cracked corn, wheat
and oats, which should lie scattered in
the litter.
Be sure to give plenty of water and
see that the chickens, both large and
small, have plenty of green food. If
your yards do not have plenty of
grass, try dividing the runs and sow
ing part to rye or rape.
A promising bunch of growing chicks 1
can lie spoiled by one night's sweat
ing. Allowing 100 or more to crowd
together in a small coop is sure to be
the ruiuatiou of some of them. If you
would raise the finest fowls, do not
allow more thun o0 youngsters togeth
er at night.
