THE FRSH1S !Mi
It is interesting to follow the trend
of fashion each season, to note how
surely and completely we come to ap
rove of even the most decided change
after it has been presented to us in at
tractive guise, at different times and
on various occasions. It surely does
seem, -too, upon looking back some few
years, that each season's changes are
for the better. . For instance, the full

skirt; how we all poo-pooed it when
the whisper first began to circulate
that it was to be revived, and that
our trim, youthful narrow skirt had
had its day. -Today, however, the full
skirt is one of the approved features
of the modes, and is still growing
fuller. We smile upon it approvingly
now, and what, at its first appearance
was looked upon as bulk and clumsi
ness, is now considered quaint and
daintily feminine.
Ribbon as Trimming
' Ribbon is being used profusely as
trimming on both hats and frocks. It
ranges in width from the inch-wide
faille or moire banding, girdling the
waist of the severe little frock of taf
feta or serge, or forming the perky
cockade on the chic chapeau, to the
wide satin, moire or taffet ribbon
which forms the entire skirt or bodice
of the dance frock or dinner dress. In
many of the new dinner and evening
dresses ribbon bows of all descriptions
are used for trimming; there are per
ky little bows, wide, graceful bows,
simple bows with flying ends tacked on
to bodice and skirt at various angles.
Mme. Jenny is particularly given to
IT '
ribbon trimmings; some of her dainty
dresses have their sheer, full skirts
banded around the bottom with wide
metal-edged ribbons, giving them a
most effective appearance.
Jumpers Still in Vogue
For late spring and early fall, there
is nothing quite as satisfactory as the
jumper dress of taffeta, serge, or a
soft, lightweight wool. Worn with
guimpes, or over the regulation shirt
blouse of crepe de Chine, crepe Georg
ette, or taffeta it makes an attractive
costume for street and general day
time wear, perfectly suitable without
coat or other wrap. Such a dress has
all the appeal of a one-piece frock,
with the added attraction of being
easily freshened and changed by he
addition of a contrasting guimpe or
underblouse. One of the most at
tractive of these jumper dresses is il
lustrated here, developed in black taf
feta, with accompanying underbodice
of white crepe Georgette. The high
collar, smart sleeve, and flaring skirt
present a pleasing picture. The sec
ond frock is also in jumper effect;
one of the dainty ribbon girdles, with
long, flying ends and small cravat bow

is a feature. The skirt is unusual
and new, and the juniper particularly
simnlfi and smart of cut. This idea
is nicely suited to either taffeta, or a
fine serge. The open throat, wnicn
will nrobablv continue in favor dur
ing the summer, is an attractive de
tail of the underblouse of crepe de
Chine..
A Word on Collars and Capes.
"Collets." as they call those trim,
cape-like collars introduced this sea
son, are features of many of the new
est frocks and blouses. One of the
newest "collets" graduated from a
narrow frill about the neck to a deep
cape extending quite to the waist.
These cape-like collars, resembling the
capes on a coachman's coat, are among
the latest and most approved of the
new dress details; they are especially
effective on frocks of taffeta and satin.
Variety in Sleeves
The drop-shoulder and full sleeve is
a feature of many of the new frocks;
in fact, the sleeve is the point, it would
seem, where designers and dressmak
ers are expending most of their in
genuity. Many original, attractive
notions areb eing carried out in the
cuff, in the trimming, and in the
shoulder line. Fulness is a decided
feature, and many effective methods
of trimming are being resorted to; for
instance, stiff little ruffles and frills
and old-time quillings appear, lending
an air of 1840, which is quite in keep
ing with the full skirts and other
features of this period daily being
introduced.
The Youthful Silhouette
There were many of us who be
moaned the passing of the slender
skirt because of its youthful air, but
Fashion has taken care of this, too, in
her new rulings. The flare of the
skirt and coat, the suggestion of a
slender waist, the shortness of the
skirts, topped effectively by a perky
high hat, very close fitting, and com-
pleted with trim, well-fitting foot
wear, is quite as youthful and tnm,
and far more comfortable than the
pipe-stem skirt in which a natural
stride was utterly impossible.
TALISMAN OF THE CELTS.
Romance of the Lla Fall, Curious
Piece of Stone.
In every Btrongly Irish newspaper,
either iu America or In Ireland, there
Is the oft repeated threat: "Walt, until
we recover the Lla Fall. Then Ire
land will become a republic." And the
readers have asked again and again:
"What Is the Lla Fall? Where is it.
and what Is Its magic power?" Those
who remember iha Fenian' fiasco,
some years ago, will recall the bat
tlecry of the troops, "Ho, for the
Lla FaiH" The recovery of this Celtic
talisman, however,- would Involve
something more than a victory over
some outlying province of Great Brit
ain, for It Is a part of the coronation
chair in Westminster Abbey. It 1b a
curious piece of stone, a little more
than two feet long, and Is said to be
the Identical stone on which Jacob
rested his bead when he had his mar
velous dream. It was taken to Ire
land, according to tradition, before the
Christian era, and Its removal from
that island meant the death of liberty
and Independence to the Celt.
After a century of possession It was
conveyed to the Ionian islands, to be
used In a coronation ceremony, and
was never recovered. The kings of
Scotland seized and held It as their
mascot By Edward I. It was carried
to London among the spoils of war
when the Scottish kingdom began to
totter. The son of Edward attempted
to restore the stone to the Scotch, but
already it had taken such bold on the
superstition of the English that they
feared for their country, and a mob
prevented its restoration. Exchange
mum spnere." Dut oniy when they to
ter the "hydrogen sphere," und most of
them are dissipated before reaching
the nitrogen atmosphere. The largest
fireballs, however, penetrate deeper
and may reach the earth or explode
not far above It.
Dr. Wegener finds that the meteors
that penetrate deep enough pass
through three color stages viz, yellow
white, green and deep red. The great
majority exhibit only the first stage,
In which the color (white, yellow,
sometimes reddish) Is that of the in
candescent meteor itself. The green
stage Wegener believes to be due to
the incandescence of the hydrogen
through which the meteor Is passing,
while the deep red stage is due to the
incandescence of nitrogen In the lower
atmosphere.
Thrill of Being Wet.
There Is something rudimentary and
fundamental about having water
splashed down upon one and getting
completely and delicious); wet not
damp, not moist, but wet, wringing
wet. You yourself when a child never
enjoyed anything so much as your first
drenching in an unforeseen and un
avoidable rainstorm the thrill of be
ing wet, the cool drive of the water on
your nose, into your sleeves and down
your neck, and the Joyous slush of
soaked, water logged boots. Even the
tedium of being rubbed with alcohol,
bundled up and warned you would
catch your death did not diminish the

time you fell off the boat dock; it last

Three 8tages Through Which They

An article by Alfred Wegener in the
Scientific American offers an explana
tion of the marked difference of color
observed In meteors. Up to n alti

cipal constituent of the earth's atmos
phere is nitrogen. A second stratum
of the atmosphere, extending up to
about 125 miles, consists mainly of hy

Spirit of the Home.
I never realized before bow rare in
deed is the real home the temple rear
ed to house a family life, with Its altar
dedicated to parenthood. I saw that
it is not enough to have furniture
"good," to have colors "safe," not
enough to show a pretty, well appoint
ed house to the world. A real borne
must be a setting for a living, loving,
sorrowing and conquering man and
woman. It is not enough to study tex
tures, plans and building materials. It
is Just the old story of the letter and
the spirit The creative spirit can
make any borne beautiful, but the most
letter perfect bouse Is a dead shell un
less it houses loving, growing life.
