FRENCH ART GIVES
RARE CHARM TO
GIRL'S DANCE FROCK
Free From Sophistication of
Dinner or Ball Dress, but
Marked by Premeditated
Simplicity. v
For the girls who ale neither "out" nor
"In," and who go to almost as many
dances n- their eldor3 and betters the
dance flock should bo chosen with par
ticular tare.
tt should not have the sophisticated air
of the dinner dress, or the ball dress, hut
Its simplicity should be of the premedi
tated kind, and not the nceldenlnl.
It Is because the Ft elicit dressmaker
has felt the same "Joy of creation" that
Inspires the artist or the sculptor that
Purls has become a Mecca for lovers of
beautiful clothes.
A flock must be a picture to realize the
French conception, happil.v harmonious In
scheme of color and symmetrical In out
line. They take an almost childish delight
In dressing each age not merely appro
priately, hut In Idealizing It, and duck
ing It out In the trapplni'P tint will pto
oliilm Its- exact status bo that all who
run may read.
The Parisian conception of the style
suitable to the ".leune lllle," is to ill lav
her In a way that will typify all that'
there Is of f rcshiiesa and youth, land to
enhance tho charm that Is borne by those
that are still "unspotted ot tho world."
Tho ill ess shown In the Illustration Is
designed from the Pat Man point of view.
In treatment and In the colot combina
tion it is essentlallv French unmistak
ably a young girl's frock, with rosebuds
to symbolize the age.
It Is made of tho softest taffeta, a
talfcta that has so much In the nay of
sheen and shadow that It Is easy to
mistake It for a changeable silk.
Tho color Is blue, the faintly tutquolse
blue that has a charmingly artless look
when It Is combined with pink.
To get Just the light chndes of the
two colois, tho dellcnte nuance, Is an
achievement dear to the French soul.
The bodice Ii very girlish In design.
but the fact that- It Is sk-eveless pro
claims It a creation of the pieHent year.
The wide skirt announces this fact
also, following as It does a tendency that
seems to swing the full teactionary dis
tance of the pendulum of style.
Tho bouffant appearance that Is now
f-o desirable Is greatly Increased by the
rufile ut the edge of the tunic nnd ut
tho foot of tho skht.
The spot of pink necessary to the effect
of the bodice Is established by the clus
ter of rosebuds that Is fastened Just
above the girdle at the left side.
Tho little bunches of roses that are
placed at Intervals above both nifties re
establish the harmony made by the two
colors.
Sllppcts and stockings that exactly
much the .sh.ule of the dress are an
Important detail of tho costume.
They are more youthful nnd for that
reason more appropriate to the idea ex
pressed by the dress than slippers of
bron7o or black would bo.
It Is bv the accessories and the details
that a dress succeeds or falls.

divided Into two classes, ono the detail

thu qualities of both gioups, hut getyrally

Xow the detail man Is the one who
carries out older. He Is lesponslhle for
the thousand and one details which make

He does not plan for next week or next
month or next ye.-n. He does what he Is
Instructed for a very small period In ad

shall wot It and the larger lesults not only
for next week, hut for years ahead. He
appicclates the value of detail and knows
all details thoroughly, but the bigger Idea
in his mind Is his business In all Its de
partments and as a whole. 'Without his
creative sense and his Imagination there
would be no business, and on him the
liuiden of tesponslblllty falls.
Xow I have often compared homo-making
to business. If this Is true, what typo
of woman shall direct the business of
home-making? Shall It he the detail or
the large plan woman? I think you will
agiee with me when I say that the bulk
of women home-makeis fall now into
tho detail class. Thej pel form schedules,
they do a great deal of heavy work, they
spend unlimited time doing intinlteslmal
small tasks In housework, hut do they
evir npproich the breath nnd viewpoint
of the large plan executive in huslness?
I find very fow women and mothers
who see further ahead than the present
week or month. Their marketing Is done
on thu dally or at most weekly plan. Their
accounts are kept haardly, with no idea
of a future end or a plan ten years oif.
When they buy equipment they do not
consider It a permanent investment, but
a present expenditure'. They are tied up
in a mass of detail and believe that home
making does not offer them the oppor
tunity to use the creative, executive und
more broadening qualities which they
think they possess.
I deplore this because the detail man
or detail woman Is never an great aa
tho largo plan Individual. It Is seeing
only In the present and being smothered
In n mass of dally detail that prevents
stability and development for the high
est kind ot family lite- The mother who
spends unnecessary sums nnd time on
Susie's hair ribbons Is not thinking as n
tule of practical plans for Susie's college
education. Tho woman who buys what
she wants nnd whose expenses aie not run
on a budget plan Is the woman who Is
extravagant and who Is partly responsible
for the high cost of living. The woman
who Idolizes a fancy guest room nnd yet
hns no place In her home for the develop
ment of her boy's taste for manual tialn
Ing or electricity is not tho lurge plan
woman.
Tho successful business man Is al
ways the large plan Individual first. Ho
must and does know details. But It is his
visions nnd ideals which create and build
that business to sucess. The successful
homo maker must also be the large plan
woman It must be her Ideals and her
perception of a future education, a fu
ture permanent home, a future clean city
which will make home making the highest
success.

MY LADY'S COIFFURE
The trado in human hair Is a big In
dustiy. Italians easily take the lead
in this trnfllc, the main source of their
supply being obtained fiom the peasant
women of Italy, Dalmatia and Switzer
land. Soveial times a year these human
hair meichants send their agents around
to collect supplies, which aro usually
Immense, for hair-growing is cultivated
on a very huge sealo by these women,
and yields a good remuneration to the
producer. Two crops of hair a year, and
looking none tho worse for the loss, Is
nut cti-rdinnry among these peasant
women. Half tho hair at tho back of th
head Is shorn off, the remaining half being
drawn over the exposed part and dressed
in such a manner us only to bo de
tected on very close sciutlny and by
those experienced In tho trade.
THE FINGER-NAILS
The cutting of tho finger nails Is on
of those little tasks from which wo aro
relieved only by the grave. It is com
puted that their average giowth, in sick
ness and In health. Is one-thirty-sccond
of nn Inch a week, a little more than an
inch nnd a half a year.
This rate of giowth, however, Is not
the same for all the flngors, the thumb
and tho little finger being tho ones whof
nails grow more slowly than tlve othei s,
while tho middle finger Is the fastest of
tho lot. In summer It has been ob
served that thoy glow quicker than In
winter, and some authorities hold that
tho nails on the right hand lengthen
more lapldly than those on the left. In
cither case thoy grow four times as fast
as the nails on our toes.

DEATH-DEALING KISSES
The most famous example of kisses
that have caused death Is furnished by
the story of the sprightly young Duchess
of Gordon, who talsed so many recruits
for the famous Gordon Highlanders. In
tho early days of the regiment recruiting
was very slow, but the Duchess attired
herself In the regimental colors, and made
a tour of tho various markets and fairs,
offering to each recruit a guinea and a
kiss.
Most of the recipients paid for the kiss
with their lives. No sooner was the regi
ment raised than It wna sent to fight tho
Fiench, and In the first engagement In
which the Duchess's recruits participated
there was a loss of 300 killed and wound
ed. AH tho right flanking company was
hit save one, and he, curiously enough,
did not happon to be a recipient of the
young Duchess's kiss. He was a cannle
Abcrdeenshlio man, and for an extra
guinea ho sold his right to another per
son to a kiss from the Duchess's rubv
lips. '
The Gordon Highlanders are fighting In
tho present war with tho same magnifi
cent courage and bravery that have ever
distinguished that most gallant regiment.
TREATING DAMP ROOMS
Blocks of camphor dispeised In all cor
ners of damp rooms In a new house will
effectually banish damp In a very short
time, even when fires havo proved inef
fectual. They should be simply laid on
paper, or on tho bare shelves of a damn
room or linen closet. The blocks grad
ually decrease in size, and when they
finally dlsappeur should be replaced until
their purpose Is served.

Duchess of Marlborough
Organizes Emergency'
Corps for Benefit of Eu
rope's Professional Women.
LONDON, Kept ID.
With a splendid public spirit, which
Invariably characterizes her, the Duchess
of Alarlboroitgh (Consuelo Vnnderbllt),
immediately following her loturn to Kngi'
Innd, set In motion a poclety to be known
aa the Women's Emergency Corps. Tho
object will bo to aid mlddle-clnss profes-'
slonnl women workers who nre too shy
or too proud lo reveal their ptesent dea
tlttttlon resulting from the outbreak of
war.
In furtherance of her object the Duchcsa
sonds to New York a letter appealing to '
tho professional women In Atnetlca lo
Join hands with their British sisters by 1
subset lblng funds.
The letter continues: '
They nto otganlzed as a community.
The only method of reaching them
Is through such an Institution as tho
Women's Emergency Corps. As the
Executive Committee contains the
names of many of the most brilliant
women writers In Englnnd who arc
accustomed to woik In co-operntlon
with these professional business '
women, they nre the most fit persons
to organize funds.
The circular promises In return to
American women schemes for woik to
give the destitute women n. fresh chance
and continuous employment through the '
war. Among the signers of the appeal
are the Duchess of Mttrlborotigh, honorary ,
trcasuter; Beatrice Harraden, Mny Sin
clair, Elizabeth Robins, Elinor Glyn,
Ellen Thornoycroft Fowler, Flora Annie
Steele, Itlchnrd Dchan, Alice Moynell and
Dora Slgoison.
As a result of exchange of cablegrams
between the Duchess of Marlborough and
,T. I. Morcnn & Co. the latter has con- J
sented to tecelvc subscriptions In New
York and remit the same monthly to ' r
the Duchess In London.
MISPLACED MOURNING
After a period of alx months ot widow- (
hood, Bridget consented to again enter
the married state. Somo weeks after
she was led to the altar her old mistress "
met her In tho sticct dressed In Hie .,
deepest mourning.
"Why, Bridget," she exclaimed, "for
whom are you In black?"
"For poor Barney, my first husband, ,
mum. When ho died Ol was that poor 01
couldn't affoul to buy mourning, but 01
said If Iver Ol could Ol would, and me
new man, Tim, is as generous as a lord."

A WITTY RETORT
Up the platfoim she raced, quite out of
breath, and no wonder for she was of an
advanced age and tho guard had thai
whistle In his mouth, He saw her Just
In time, so ho delayed until she came up. i
As ho opened the door he jocularly ie- 1
marked: .
"Well, my good woman, you nre tialn
ing for a nice?"
"Indeed, no," was the reply as she
stepped Into the compartment. "I am
only incing for a train."
A SCHOOL FOR LOVERS
For some time Munich has hud Its
"sphool for lovers" they call It tho
"Hochschule der tlleratswlssenschaftcn,"
but It Is not nearly so formidable ns Its
name. At this sentimental semlnniy the
student Is taught all the secrets ot love -and
wooing; the desirable qualities of a ,j
life-partner; how to create the best im- J
presslon nnd how to outwit ilvals; the j
proper time and method of proposing, the i
mysteries of the wedding day; how to
make tho most of the honeymoon, an4
ho on. Thu school, wo undetstand, Is A
great success, and justifies Itself by a
brilliant array of lesults.
