Evening Dress for Matrons
We were threatened as early as in
the spring by the most highly ap
proved Parisian couturieres that full,
short skirts would-prevail and when
they arrived we gladly accepted them
without protest. Were they not a de
lightful change from the long, tight
skirt and just the thing for tailleurs
and dance frocks? And then the
American matron hesitated as an
evening frock for her debutante
daughter, well and good, but for the
dignified hostess, who demanded a
trained reception gown never. ,
As a result, we have the gown illus
trated, designed and worn recently
by an American society women. The
novelty is in the train. When she de-
Aires, tne wearer may
training gown with alt
apoear in
the dignity

that social etiquette- demands, and
when the dance music sUrts, she
may gently lift the train an I indulge
to heN heart's content, with all the
comfort of the short dA not too vol
uminous skirt. ,
The gown was of white goldonrod
satin with the skirt scantily iratheved
at the slightly high waist lino. The
skirt finisher in a st.uiglit train,
which was looped under at about the
knees, and this gave tho extr: full-
tness. An elaborate garniture of crys
tal and pearl oeails draped the bodice
of white daphne silk. The crystal ef
fect was also worked out on the
sleeves and in the hair and slipper or
naments, and a handsome strinp of
pearls completed the attractive cis
tume. If Milady of La Grande and sur
rounding country, would dress fash
ionably when she goes to the Motor
races June 17th, she will not disre
gard comfort for style. .
In days of old, when motoring bold
Meant freakish clothes and goggles
big as window-lights,
Women looked perfect frights;
But now that sense reigns over fash
ion, ' '
Milady fair of the. limousine
Wears clothes in the car that are fit
to be seen."
Thanks to the friendly jingle, we
have the whole repertoir of motoring,
so far as clothes are concerned, before
U3. It does not mean, however, that
garments for this particular purpose
have lost one wnit ot distinction.
What a contrast the trim coats and
modish hats of the present times are
to the paraphernalia we donned for he
first ride in the little high-seated, red
car that Dutfed and groaned and died
on the first hill. The shiny coats, first
cousin to the mackintosh, the bulky
bonnets, and especially cut, elastic
shirred veils were never meant for
anything more dignified than the car.
How different the modern costume is!
with smartly tailored separate coat,
trim hat and becoming veil, a woman
can motor, call, or even enjoy a stroll
on the beach, content in the fact that
she is inconspicuously well-gowned.
Then, for the motorist on sports
bent, who fancies sweaters, there is a
new siik jersey taoric, ,a compromise
between a pure woven silk and a
knitted material. .Here, too, light
shades are featured. There is a coat
of delicate. pink, like frozen ice-cream
witn couar ana lower eage inmnien
with white fur, that looks good
enough to eat.
This idea of the fur is surely an odd
fancy for hot June. One model of
white has a mink collar, and a pale
blue coat is edged with fox. - Some
think that the New York stores are
usincr these merelv to attract attenion
never really expecting to sell them.
However, you never .n ten wnat
Dleases the heart of the fair ladv.
For instance, the cretonne hats; who
would ever suppose that sne would
dream of wearimr furniture coverinir
with her swagger . sweater ? No mat
ter how startling, the fact remains!
Smart black-and-white effects and
gaily flowered hats of cretonne dot
the field set aside for sports. Per
chance it is because they fit the ns-.d
no well that the woman who motors,
walks or eolfs favor them.
Not alone the woman who loves
sports, but those too, who find enjoy-1
ment in less strenuous pleasures fol-'.
low the call of the motor car; tne mo
tor car today is a necessity,"' not a
luxury. Again, comfort and style are
first essentials in clothes, giving the
woman who motors to make her calls,
or merely for a breath of the great
out-of-doors, loose cats in the smart
three-auarter lenirth and hats in aD-
Droved sailor and tncorne shapes.

organization formed since the war in
Europe for the purpose of pursimding
the people and congress to build more
and better warships and to irgunizze
an army. They nne seized oi: the
situation that has arisen since the
sinking of the Luaitnnia to further
the aims of the leacrue. Hero is a

lic.

guard, ai)d the creation of an organ
ized army and navy reserve are
among the platform planks upon
which The National Security League
is sending out an appeal for the en
rollment of a first American army of
one million volunteer workers.
Among the names which appear in
the membership of this League for
National Defense are Joseph H.
Choate, former Ambassador to Eng

In call for volunteers the League
points out that "until a satisfactory
plan for disarmament has been work
e 1 out and agreed upon by the nations
of the world, the United States must
bn adequately prepared to defend it
sulf against invasion, and also that
a military equipment sufficient for
tl is purpose can be hud without re
course to militarism." The league was
formed, continues tho appeul, "as a
preparation not for War but against
War."
There are to-day according to the
League, but 30,000 mobile troops in
continental United States, and this
small force is short of officers, am
muntion, and equipment. It is distri
buted among 52 widely scattered
points, which would make it impos
sible to mobilize quickly at any
given point. I
The National Guard, according to '
the Leairue. is far below its Daner '
strength in men, equipment and efff-
ciency.

our navy is described as "a Deace

sufficient target practice, exceeded in

jieing organized by the League is a
Peace Committee, on which it is pro
posed to invite representatives of the
church on a non-sectarian basis, to
serve together with men distinguish
ed as publicists, whose services will
'tend to disarm those critics of the
League who have brought the accusa
tion that the League is organized for
the promotion of War. .
The call for volunteers and for pub
llic upport is being sent out in the
form of an open letter addressed to
iresent and former members of the
t'abinet, to Members of Congress, to
Governors of our states and territor
ies, to Mayors, to Chambers of Com
