In th white Jacket which tops the dark
frock or skirt, a distinctly new trend of
thought has been opened to the world of
fashion. This movement reflects the Influ

contrast at Uie same time that It re
spond to the Insistent demand of the
mode for costume detail which Is dar
ingly white.
Now that the white-Jacket vogue
baa been set In motion. Its popularity
Is Increasing with leaps anil bounds.
In developing the theme, designs are
employing materials of every descrip
tion. Cottons, linens and such are as
much In favor for these smart little
Immaculately white Jackets as are the
handsomest of silk crepes, satins and
velvets.

SEA FAIRIES
The sand fairies went rushing out to
the eea fairies. The sea fairies
laughed as they fell right over them
with their boats of foam In which
they were riding.
"Ab," suld the sea fairies, "aren't
you glad you Joined us? Our boats
are coing so well today.
"There nre do boats In the world
like the breaker boats."
"They seem to have rather rough
names," said the imnd fairies. "Of
course," said the sea fairies, "and
they ore good and rough, too.
"Although of course It Is the ocean
that helps. These boats will not

"She rules the breakers. And she

"Some people Just call them break

"Here, here, here," whistled a voice
