L LITTLE gray organdy frock (8546). all girlish frills, and a sash of navy blue moire ribbon matched by a parasol could anything- be dainter or in more perfect taste for a summer afternoon affair? And against the blue sash i a cluster of flowers in orange and yellow tones Just the right touch of con trast with the demure frock. These ruffled organdies come by the yard so that a delightful frock may be achieved without the bother of mak ing so much ruffling at home. If the woman who rides a horse can enjoy the comfort of coat and breeches, why should not the woman who golfs? seems to be the query of feminine devotees of the links. At any rate for the fair golfer who pre fers breeches to . petticoats the breeches are ready and in suffi ciently smart and correct style, too, to render them good' looking. These mannish golf suits are of English tweed with loose knickers bagging over a tight band at the knee and belted Jacket with four patch pock ets. A boyish sport hat and white linen sport shirt should accompany this really attractive suit. Gray is so fashionable this season that almost anything gray no mat ter what the material has a smart ness. -But the gray checked ging hams are smart in themselves, leav ing out consideration of their modish shade. They are neat and distinctive when simply made up and trimmed with white ricrac. White cuffs arid collar of spotless linen 'lawn add fie completing touch. ... Of all the sport hats the black and white models seem the smartest this season. Ana they are most practical since they go with costumes of any shade and look particularly well with white flannel or linen costumes. An arresting model is of black straw with a silk crown on which is' em broidered a huge white flower with worsted. A thread of white worsted in long darning stitches runs round the base of the crown and almost the whole hank of worsted is used to edge the brim; the wool strands bunched close and held down by couched stitches of black worsted The brim of the hat is faced with white taffeta; indeed, most of the black sport hats trimmed with white have white brim facings. ... Don't forget that crickets devour wool bathing suits. If you spread your wool jersey suit on the grass to dry and leave it out over night you may find It riddled with holes the in the morning much bigger and more Jagged holes than those made by moths when a wool garment is laid away unprotected indoors. The suit may be laid on the grass until partly dry; this is better fyor it than hanging it on a line when heavy with water and allowing it to pull and stretch out of shape. But when the Buit is partly dry put it over a line high out of reach of the destructive crickets. The girl who rides must be turned out correctly. No compromise is allowable in riding togs; they must be perfect according to accepted standards. You may golf in a frock with a sash and play tennis in a pic ture hat if you can. And you may swim in a 1918 bathing suit, or pad dle a canoe in a tailored suit and veiled turban. But when you get astride a horse you must be correct from top to toe for that diversion and no, other. This 'year there Is a fad for velvet riding coats; a very foolish fad. for if velvet is out of place 'anywhere, it is out of place on a dusty high way and for violent exercise. But the velvet coat looks smart and pictur esque with white flannel breeches and tall black boots around the Country club, no mistake about that. 8546 Onecffbose . j I enph urg angies A --V 7- " ' a .

They are cool and com fortable and have a delightful crisp neps on a summer day. The riding shirt is of fine handkerchief linen white, of course and it is not nec essary to wear the tall stock collar unless you prefer it.

EXODUS TO EUROPE GIVES CHANCE TO YOUNG SINGERS Many Make Deep Impressions During Summer Open-Air Concerts in New York, Says Emilie Frances Bauer. . BY EMILIE FRANCES BAUER. NEW YORK, July 2. (Special.) Perhaps after all one of the most beneficial phases of this wholesale European emigration must not be overlooked, and it is very wel come to a goodly number of splendid artists of the younger day that the popular and sensationalized artists have gone the way they used to go Europeward. Many of the skilled young singers have made deep Impressions during the summer open-air concerts. In deed, twice last year more than 20, 000 people at the Columbia univer sity concerts fairly cheered a young contralto whose text as well as her voice carried to the further end of the grounds. She had the same ex perience when she sang with Mr. Volpe at the stadium, and the same is true of a number who are able to 'deliver the goods." no matter what advantage the 'etar" may have. Edwin Franko Goldman's name has become a .guarantee of what the Co lumbia "On the Green" concerts are to be. and the concerts of this sea son have not disappointed any of his chief supporters. Mr. Goldman will have a four weeks' start over the stadium concerts, which still need $10,000 for their support all season. Henry Hadley, in his first four weeks, will have the opportunity to do some thing for his American composer col leagues after having had such lavish opportunities at the Philharmonic this season, while Victor Herbert will be Ju-st Victor Herbert than -this, no one could ask more. Henry 'W. Savage is still putting h!s eye for beauty to its best possible use and is scouring Europe much of it needs scouring for the right woman to sing the principal part in "The Merry Widow,'" which the in trepid and world famous manager plans to revive next season in gor geous fashion. Mr. Savage, who "found" Mitzi and several others who made nation-wide successes, is on the lookout for some thing unusual He will no doubt take the excellent example set in his own production of "Eve-rywoman." and re turn to his own fireside to find the personality that he wants. America has hundreds of singers who would make superb careers in musical comedy, but they have an absorbing passion for the small sal ary, but glamorous position which they believe grand opera to afford them. There is etill something for the American .impresario to do, and Mr. Savage is par excellence the man to do it. That is, to produce musical comedy wherein the public shall re ceive as correct and as beautiful singing as is possible to give them, not to allow beautiful voices to be ruined because the stage manager has the sound of "Jazz" or the vaude ville voice In his ears, and if he does not hear this he imagines that the singer is "too high-brow" to please the audiences who come his way. One singles out such a shining mark as Eleanor Painter and wishes there were more like her. Emma Trentini. who sailed last week on the Duca d'Aosta, will probably lend renewed interest to light opera next season, for she will return to star under di rection of Fortune Gallo in a new work which will set forth the par ticular individuality of the sprightly prima donna and which will give her opportunity for the very be-utiful. florid voice which was made known to this country in grand opera under the Oscar Hammerstein regime. Then there is Dorothy Jardon. Who will give that superb singer the right op portunity? She is a gold mine if handled in the right way. ' Dorothy Jardon. whose career has been most sensational, has again turned her brilliant equipment into vaudeville, from whence she Jumped onto the grand opera stage. Miss Jardon was perfectly prepared to fo -get that there was such a thing as vaudeville, because she had devoted herself to the most serious sort of study that a singer could do. and her accomplishments in this direction were far beyond what anyone might have expected, because she became a fine artist. Miss Jardon had the courage to put in a few months at her old metier, returning to that with greater things than her adoring public had ever ex pected of her. But what about the hundreds of young singers who have neither the courage aor the public to make the sort of success in vaude ville that Miss Jardon is now enjoy ing? The conditions which made- it nec essary for Miss Jardon to return even temporarily to the lig-hter stage make it impossible for others less equipped, less known, less beloved to practice their professions at all. It is true that the "situation." if we must call these dark days by some name, is not one in which any success may be accomplished, but it is par ticularly crushing to those who have selected singing as that profession. This entire country is to blame for the hardships of Its talented people, because it lays the entire responsibil ity upon New York City, and expects the situation, to be saved in that way. No one city in the world is able to accomplish what America expects New York to do. London does not do it for England; Paris does not do it for France; Berlin did not do it for Germany: Vienna c.id not do it for Austria; Milan did not do it for Italy: St. Petersburg (when there was one) did not do it for Russia. Each of those cities was only one city pur suing music for itself and for its own, all enjoying in its own way the music it could support and creat ing thereby an outlet that was steady, reliable and substantial. That each city knew how to appreciate the sen sations that came their way goes without saying, but that the people had to be constantly "fed up" with this sort of thing was quite out of question. Two opera houses in a country of this size is a disgrace to the country, because it proclaims the lack of initiative, the unwillingness to create a public in the different cities where there is nothing lacking except the energy and the total in difference to the cultural side. WAR VETERANS GET JOBS Postoffice Department Consistently Favors Former Service Men. WASHINGTON'. D. C, July 2. Five hundred new fourth class postmasters are soon to be appointed by the new administration, and at least 90 per cent of them will be men who served in the world war, if efforts of the national legislative committee of the American Legion are effective.- John Thomas Taylor, vice-chairman of the legion committee, has been conferring with Postmaster-General Hayea and First Assistant Postmaster-General Works and states that they have promised to favor veterans certified by the civil service commis sion in every instance possible. The postoffice department has more consistently favored former service men in its appointments than any other department of the government. Dainty Food Season Booms Cool Dishes. Ice Crenm, Berry Cakes and Jelly Lead Creations on Menu. HOT PUDDINGS and substantial pies have no place on the mid summer menu though it is true that the average American man will eat pie at any and every season, and usually demands it. To appeal to masculine taste a pudding must have something to it besides mere dainti ness. To man, boiled custard is an abomination and when it appears at the end of dinner he usually remarks that he "was rather looking for lemon meringue pie tonight." Most men like ice cream, and with one of the small, easily manipulated freezers now on the market iced deserts are very easy to prepare. Frozen fruit creams are delicious and the more real cream you use, the richer and better will be your desert. The berries, bananas, peaches or whatever fruit you use, should be mashed up and added to the partly frozen cream. And such ice cream should not stand too long, packed in the freezer, before serving or the fruit will be frozen too hard. Berry shortcakes are almost as dear to man's heart as pie, but there is only one kind of shortcake he dreams of: The biscuit kind, served warm with the fruit juice soaking into the biscuit crust, and dabs of melted butter enhancing the richness. Cream to pour over each portion adds the final touch. Cake cut in half and decorated with a lew whole berries and with a dab of whipped cream on top, is not shortcake in masculine opinion and never will be! Jellies dainty things! do not appeal to mankind, unless the jelly H fuil of cut-up fruit and some rich sauce is added. Indeed, every house wife knows that a rich pudding sauce and plenty of it will make almost any kind of simple, pudding "go" with the masculine members of her family. Hard sauce seems particu larly in favor. But most men prefer fresh berries drenched with real cream to any of the "insipid" jellies, custards or milk puddings which are usually considered good summer des serts. Spanish cream, served with spoonfuls of strawberry preserves and liquid cream, will usually appeal however.
