and foremost creator of
fashions in the world, writes each
week the fashion article for this
newspaper, presenting all that is
newest and best in styles for well
dressed women..

establishment brings her into close

There la a slight drap
tt the front of the walBUlne fvjn
by two shallow fold. Jus at the
belt-line. The rest of the robe
fall, in graceful folds to the floor.
The skirt Is very long In dront and
bu a graceful clinging train.. The
only decoration In the whole gown
consists of narrow bands of dull,
rose satin arranged In Greek bor
der. With, this gown Is worn a
large nattier blue straw hat trim
med with white wings. The chifr;
fon acarf is of dull rose chiffon.
In the sketches I am sending, you
will notice the sunburst cloak,
; which has been said to be a tri
umph of simplicity and draping.
Motelnteresting perhaps is (the
Coat and skirt shown in another
sketch, which fashionable women
are going to cultivate. ,
I am sending, too, a sketch of
gown I created for Miss Gertie
Millar In "Gypsy Love'" which
shows the effectiveness ot a black
costume when relieved' by a glim
mer of gold, flashes of scarlet and
touches of purple and blue.
And then, not by any means least
In interest among the season's crea
tions are the new "Mermaid modes,"
if I may be permitted to thus
christen the latest bathing dresses,
which are really o attractive that
they will give one a new interest
In the daily dip, and more than
make up for all the preliminary
and subsequent trouble It Involves.
Though, to be sure, the necessary
undressing and redressing are both
alike very much simplified nowa
days, thanks to the fact that under
wear is reduced to a minimum, and
that the all-in-one dress, with its
array of stud-fasteners In place of
refractory buttons and loops, or the
even more elusive hook and eye, Is
practically the universal wear of
women of all ages.
And, do you know, there Is ex
traordinarily little difference be
tween the day dreBs you will dis
card and the suit you will don for
the sea, and whose fabric, will al
most certainly be the taffetas silk,
which has been simply supreme all
through the season, and la now
bringing its brief but glorious reign
to a by no means unworthy end by
thus fashioning the smartest bath
ing dresses. For you may take It
from me that the fever of favor for
this particular fabric has burnt
itself out by now, and that within
the next two or three months we
shall have transferred 'our alle
giance from' taffetas to bengallnes and
Ottomans, heavy soft crepes and the
always exquisite charmeuse. Yes,
taffetas lias almost had its day, but
in these, Its last hours, you are
going to love It almost as well as
when It first made Its appearance
and its lnstantaeous success, and it
will probably be associated with
some of your greatest successes, if,
for example, you elect to have a
silken bathing dress whose tunic is
all of demure black, save for just
a central and bordering piping of
cerise silk between narrow bandings
of black braid and for some tiny,
closely clustered buttons, which re
peat and emphasize this same vivid
coloring. The tunic is deeply curved
in front and at the back, and slit
up almost to the waist at either
side, where bandings of braid hold
it together sufficiently to preserve
the slender outline of the figure, but
not so closely as to hide the piquant
presence and contrast of knickers
of cerise silk. For this is the nov
elty note of the season's bathing
dreBses the wearing of very bright
ly colored knickers, either cerise,
emerald green, sapphire blue, or
royal purple, with a black tunic,
the swathed turban head-dress al
ways repeating and emphasizing
the chosen and contrasting color,
while very often, too, high Batin
boots and silk stockings to match
will be added to a toilet which
will certainly, therefore, be suffi
ciently eye-arresting to satisfy the
woman who wants to attract atten
tion. Oh! and you must not forget
either to have a waterproof satin
bag, which will give a final touch
of color, while I would suggest, too,
that you should provide for a very
desirable variation of effect in your
toilet by further Investing in a
cap of reversible satin, outwardly
black, but Just showing a flash of
the inner color in the bow loops at
one side, and then In a pair of
black stockings and satin boots
Another and somewhat less start
ling idea is to wear rather full
"trousers" of black and white
spotted foulard beneath a tunic of
black taffetas, finisned off with a
deep sailor collar and loosely
knotted scarf of the soft spotted
silk, the correct cccompaniments for
this distinctly attractive toilet be-,
lng black footwear and a square
handkerchief of the foulard, which
is laid over and permanently at
tached to an Inner and closely fit
ting cap of rubber which protect the
hair and leaves the outer silk free for
draping and decorative purposes.
The other most favored form of head
wear is a Dutch cap, which Is gen
erally made !n plaid silk, and al
ways provided with a capacious
bag of waterproof silk to match, the
care which is taken to haveall the
accessories of even these somewhat
informal toilets in complete accord
being a very satisfactory sign of
feminine realization of the Import
ance of the little details in any suc
cessful scheme of dress.

say!
Have you ever considered what
that old-fashioned phrase mesnsT
Then you have not watched any on
tire from running, his muscles limp,
his head bent, his features flrawn,
his eyes dull from exhaustion. When
you are "all run down" you are in
exactly the condition of that spent
runner. What does the runner do?
.Rest. What should you dot Rest
Well meaning persons seeing your
dull eyes and noting your listless
manner may advise exercise, but
that is because they mistake fag for
sluggishness. If you are growing
fat and heavy, and Inert from inac
tivity, assuredly you need exercise,
but being "all run down" is quite a
different state. In the first case
your vitality is clogged and impris
oned. In this the vitality li nearly
gone. The reservoir of your strength
Is almost empty. It is a matter ot
the greatest concern to' you to. as
. aoon as possible, refill it
Firat rest "Catch up" with sleep.
Or, as I have heard busy persons
more than the actual rsst required
to meet the demands upon your
strength at this time, In anticipation '
of the demands of the future. It Is
a marvel what an upbullder Is the
simple device of going to bed an
hour or two hours esrlier than usual.
Try It. Give It the thorough trial of
continuing It for at least two weeks
er more. The enfolding, threadbare
mantle of the years will seem to fall
away from you. Your eyes will be
brighter, your complexion clear and
more pink, your step lighter and
your spirits higher. In brief you
will be younger.
Never mind If you cannot sleep at
first Be persistent and woo the
"sweet restorer," Do not believe
that the late hour habit of years
cannot be broken. It can. I know,
for I have broken It.
Take a midday rest The best
msthod Is to retire to a dark room,
loosen your stays, lie flat upon your
back, without a pillow. But If this
Is not feasible, at least recline in

The Greatest

one of the long chairs used on the
deck of a steamer, or sit with your
limbs outstretched on a level with
the seat of your chair. Go where
you can set the cleanest, freshest
air, and breathe deeply of It If you
are In a city go to the roof.
Draw the Towel
Across the Shoulders
So Briskly That the
Skin Tingles.
At the same time eat nourishing
food Depend more upon careful
Chewing of the food than upon large
quantities of it Eat meat once a
day and eat vegetables rich in Iron,
for they are makers of good blood.
Eat asparagus and beets, cabbage
and spinach and tomatoes and little.
bread, and that only of the coarse
grained kind.
Cleanse your lungs many times a
day by Inhaling deeply, holding the
air in the lungs for as long a time as
was spent in the Inhaling, then
sweep the lungs clean by expelling
the air with long, deep breath,
When the rest and nourishing food
and deep breathing are doing their,
work of rebuilding and you feel
strong once more, exercise may be
resumed. The easiest and most
natural of these Is stretching. Rise
on tiptoes and stretch.. Raising the
arms above the head with finger tips
extended, stretch, atretch, stretch.
At the same time yawn if you can,
for this frees the body of the pois
ons that are weighing down the
lungs and vitiating the blood.
At this period ot rebuilding the
"run down" system, slow walking
will be ot benefit. Don't let any one
tempt you to over-strenuous effort
Saunter. Refuse to hurry.
Have you a friction band? If not
buy one. It will be money well ex
pended. Or make one for yourself
from a rough new towel. Fold the
towel so that It will be four times
ite original thickness. Sew the folds
firmly together on both sides and at
the ends, and to the ends attach
strong stitched bands. Grasping
these bands firmly, draw the towel
across the shoulders so briskly that
the skin tingles and reddens. In the
same way draw it across the back,
1 the hips, the bsck of the legs, the
stomach.
Is It to vigorously rub the spine.
To do this draw one end of the fric
tion band over the shoulder and
draw the band briskly up and down
the back.
A glass of milk into which an egg
has been beaten is a good beginning
for the day, and a glass of hot milk
on retiring a good waV to .complete
it Ten or more glassfuls ot water
drunk during the day will aid the
rebuilding by washing away the
poisons that have done the down
pulling. Do your rebuilding, as much as
possible In the out-of-doors. If fresh
air did not perform eountless serv
ices for you It would steady your
tired nerves by banishing worry.
We never worry while drawing In
great quantities of pure air.

noticed with bulging eyes the heaping

"Why. John, what do you mean by
