THE I’APERH OF PRIVATE
PIKKEY
Dear Ma—
I got your last letter and 1 wish
you would atop worrying about me
not getting enough sleep on account
of having to get up so early in the
morning. It won’t do no good for
i you to write the camp general tell
ing him that you know I need more
sleep and will only make me a
laughing stork. And, ma, it Is silly
for you to say you think maybe you
can Iriflooence the general to let me
sleep later mornings on account my
grandfather served in the Spanish-
American war. They don't even
rate that as a war any more.
• • •
Anyhow I get enough sleep even
If they do make me get up at day-
brake. I know when 1 was home I
couldn’t get to sleep when I went to
bed at 0 or 10 but up here I am
plenty tired and I dop’t have to
count no sheep. But there is one
feller in my tent who has insomania
and he keeps hollering “Halt” over
and over all nite because instead of
counting sheep he tries to challenge
’em. I got used to this now and he
don’t bother me.

A FASHION that appeals to
** bast-dressed women
everywhere is the suit or cos
tume tailored of either black
or navy silk faille. There is
a refinement and iadyllkrncss
about these tailleurs that women
love.
There Is a patrician look about the
suavely fitted, smartly detailed silk
costumes in the Illustration. You
will be hearing much during the
coming weeks about the Regency
period fashions to which contempo
rary designers are turning for Ideas
or new inspiration Our style crea
tors are translating these cos
tumes of the "dandles,** who gloried
in molded waistlines, peplum flared
coatees, wide picturesque cuffs, fas
tidiously
frilled waistcoats and
wrist lingerie frills, into practical
contemporary fashions, such as are
here shown.
The black silk faille suit to the
left in the picture reflects the Re
gency influences of the Beau Brum-
mcis of the past in Its neat slender
waistline, accented by a peplum sil
houette. flared collar and cuffs and
beruflled lingerie accents
The
enormous felt hat is especially chic
in that It typifles a smart, new mil
linery trend. These hats are par
ticularly pretty in pastels, worn
with either navy or black spring cos
tumes.
The simplicity of the silk crepe
dress to the right in the trio is a
master stroke in costume design as
interpreted this season by foremost
designers.

It is just this type of

dress that invites lingerie accents.
With a gown or coat dress of this
sort, you can change it entirely with
new accessories.
Note the white
frills in the sleeves.

The
jacket features the new dropped

sleeves and unpressed pleated pep

is of white mousseline de sole
Another type of silk costume suit
that is a leading fashion is the red
Ingote ensemble. The great advan
tage is that the redingote can be
worn either with its companion
dress of faille or crepe or with print
frocks. Many of the new redingotes
are strictly tailored In straight slim
lines. Others depart from the
straight and narrow path by intro
ducing front pleats and sometimes
back yokes to give freedom across
the shoulders.
Very smart, too, are black or navy
silk coals, elaborately braided down
the fronts. Also, a striking new note
are glittering jeweled buttons, fast
ening the jacket of simple black or
navy silks Many flower buttons in
realistic colorings are used on the
new silk tailleurs.

Shiiilrfl of Deep Purple
Seen in Spring Fashions
Purple and violet and kindred
shades are color features being
highlighted this spring. Many suits
and cape costumes arc tailored of
purple or violet-toned tweeds this
spring Topi>ed with a fetching lit
tle straw chapeau, trimmed in vio
let. with violet boutonniere to
match, this ensemble sings fashion's
spring song.
The new lavenders and purples go
charmingly with navy.
Lots of
white frills on a navy suit, navy or
violet felt hat with violet flower trim
and you're ready for the sun! Lav
ender veils or light green ones are
accessory "musts” with purple en
sembles.
Bright Red Colors
Red is registering one of the big
gest color triumphs of the season.
Young girls “dote" on the new red
coats and jackets, some of which
fasten with military brass buttons.
Prints with red backgrounds are
creating a sensation. Some are pat
terned with navy or black or beige
and green motifs. You really must
have a red print frock.
It's the fashion to match hat and
handbag this season. Try carrying
out the idea in red straw or fabric,
and don’t forget to add a red veil.
You will like red accents with your
navy suit or redingote ensemble, and
red accessories will add an exotic
touch to your new beige outfit.
Chinese Hats
The ingenious use of print with
plain is outstanding fashion news for
spring.
Especially attractive and
chic is a new print silk bow tech
nique used In jacket and bodice
fustenings, as illustrated. The black,
white and golden yellow silk print
is striped horizontally for the dress,
with the stripes applied in bands to
the black wool jacket. Unpressed
pleats give subtle fullness to the
skirt. This model shows that the idea
of print with plain is being used
with refreshing originality.

REGARDING HERBS
VI ANY home gardeners may be
interested in growing herbs
this year because of the war,
and because they make everyday
dishes more appetizing and flavor
ful.
Herbs may be grown in a plot
about four by six feet to supply
the average needs of a family.
They should have full sunlight and
be planted in good loamy soil.
Almost all popular herbs—balm,
basil, borage, fennel, marjoram,
rosemary, thyme, sage, anise, dill,
and caraway—may either be used
when young, and fresh, or pre
pared for use dried.
Anise, basil, borage, dill and sa
vory are annuals; caraway, and
fennel are biennials, and balm,
marjoram, sage, rosemary, thyme
and chives are perennials, al
though balm and marjoram are
best treated as annuals.
All the herbs mentioned here will
probably produce enough growth
for use the first year, however, if
seeds are planted early, and cli
mate is normally temperate.
