SILKS FOR FORMAL
by J KAN TATOU
For NIOA Service
I'AHIS, Aug. 10. When you wi.sh
to call to mind a collection of a
few seasons past In the sense of a
dominant note running throughout,
you invariably conjure up an e ve
il in K dress.
This Is easily explained by the
fact that an evening dress is more
than any other dress. It Is also
eloquently expressive of u style
for this very reason that when
any comparison of styles of differ
ent periods made, evening
gowns are always selected to show
the evolution of u fashion.
Fvening styles, anyway, are in
dicative of the way and epoch in
which women live. The ultra sim
ple evening dies of seven or eigh.t
years ago was eminently suitable
to t be Iron hlesonie post w ar days
and also indicated Ihe trend in the
evolution of modem woman her
self. These conditions no longer
exist and fashions have reflected
foi the past few seasons a tendency
lo greater formality as well as a
more sumptuous note in women's
evening utilre. This tendency has
tteatlily grown Into a determined
fashion and uo one will dispute the
undeniable beauty, charm and
serenity of the latest evening
styles.
Light Gowns In Demand
A summer collection invariably
culls for u number of light and
gossamer evening gowns. These,
as a matter of fact, represent
three-fourths of evening creations
and are eminently seasonable as
well as drossy, but my prediction
for handsome fabrics compels me
always to Include in each of my

"sensible" clothing of women to
day and think men would be heal
thier if ihey, too, shed a few gar
ments. Hut Charles K. Liglitfool, who
designs all ihe clothing lor the
Foiled Stales army, merely sniffs
al the wisp of a dress which
clothes present day womanhood.
"Al right for style." says he.
"Mm where is its durability? Men
have work to do. When women go
hiking, mouniaiu-cliuihiug or oven
automobile touring they do not
w ear "aim tun' dresses without
backs or sleeves aud scarecelv any
skirts.
'"ihey adopt mannish styles of
clothing something that will pro
tect them from the elements. They
even wear leggings to save their
skins from scratches and bruises."
Air. Lighiioot denies that the
soldier's uniform is unnecessarily
uncomfortable.
"He can sbeil some of his gar
ments when not on duly or at of
ilcial functions," savs Mr. Light

to. Designers of women's dom
ing follow the whimsical changes
of styles. Designers of men's cloth
ing must loot to durability. The
same idea lias to be considered in
designing clothes tor civilians be
cause tue average man has to
work for his living and must dress
accordingly."
Dr. Draper makes light of Mr.
Lightfoot's claim thut women s
clothing lucks durability.
"What would a woman want of
durable clothes thai lusted year
alter year like a mans?" chal
lenges Dr. Draper. "They wouid
be out of style before sue could
wear them out. You can t change
the human race and following
changing styles i s part ot wo
man s make-up. Her dress today
is sensible, healthful ami beautiful
beautiful because it gives her
health and health is ihe greatest
beatitifier in ihe world.
"Without so many hampering
garments the woman of today
knows how to exercise. The wo
man of two or three ciecades ago
could not swing a golf club or ten
uis racket if she wanted to. Her
dlaphrugn was too constructed."
To strengthen his argument for
lighter clothing for men Dr. Drap
er pointed to a pile of congratula
tory letters. Willi the other hand
he reached lor the telephone re
cehvr. It was a male voice shout
ing an eloquent: "Attaboy!"

sect by drowulng. When the fiower
unfolds its petals the center is sur
rounded by a corona of yellow,
spring-like stamens, and the cup
shaped center or pisrtt is filled
with a very fragrant liquid which
is attractive lo insects. The sia
mens do not yield their iiolleii the
first day of opening, so us to pre
vent crossing with its own pollen.
The insect therefore visits older
flowers, void of nectar but rich
with pollen which becomes agglut
inated lo its leas. When visiting u
tirsl-duy flower the pistil is tilled
with nectar lo attract the insect,
and while circling the stamens, It
seems to become intoxicated and
eventually falls into its Involun
tary bath. Its wings immediately
become so wet us to prevent fly
ing out, and Us death struggle com
mences in trying to ascend the
ladder-like stamens which act as
springs, repeatedly throwing the
insect buck to Its ultimate death
by drowning ... It is during the
death struggle that the pollen is re
leased from the insect and ab
sorbed by the nectar, thus resulting
in fertilization of the flower."
