Really Hit.
"Why do people say, ‘As dead ns a
door nail?’” asked the boob. “Why
Is a door nail any deader than a
door?” ‘‘Because it has been lilt ou
the head, I suppose,” replied the
cheerful idiot.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Plan Well Before You Begin.
In our hurry to do things we often
begin before we have a clear idea of
what Is to be done. We too often go
on general propositions without study¬
ing all the facts. The result Is disas¬
trous.

GEORGETTE IS IN
FAVOR WITH ALL
Materia! Has Long Been Valued
for the Joy and Comfort
It Affords.
MODELS FOR ALL OCCASIONS
Many Shades of Light Blue Heretofore
Seldom Seen Are Coming Into
Use—Lace Is Used Ex¬
tensively.
Wiiat did we wear before georgette
crepe was invented? Experiment as
we will with every other material, we
come buck to thin with joy and com¬
fort, recognizing the service and beau¬
ty few other fabrics offer, notes a
prominent fashion correspondent.
Of more than usual loveliness are
the gorgeous frocks being displayed
for more or less elaborate occasions.
While many seem to have tired some¬
what of the heavily beaded dresses so
long esteemed, others seek them out
assiduously, seeming to prefer the
chemise type with Its bending to all
other gowns of thin material.
Now that the blue dyes are of such
uncertain quality, and few of the man¬
ufacturers will sell them with a guar¬
antee of their lasting attributes, the
dark blues are harder to find, and
therefore we notice many variations of
the blue shades which have not been
often seen. For instance, the exquisite
horizon blue of the French uniforms
developed in georgette makes Ideal
dresses for country club wear.
One just from France has an apron
effect across the front made by placing
row after row of blond footing one
above the other from the hem of the
skirt almost to the waist. This skirt,
by the way, deviates somewhat from
the straight up and down effect of the
majority and seems to be cut after the
circular fashion of several seasons ago.
The rows of the footing which form
the apron, line on the front end at the
sides of the skirt just as an apron
would do. The extra fullness of the
skirt is gathered at the hack, where a
handsome sash of blue satin of the ex
ict shade of the georgette is tied In
i large bow with long loops and ends.
The waist lias a plastron In front
iiordered at each side with a bit of the
narrow footing. The collar falls away
from the throat at the front In a be¬
coming depth and Is a shallow bit of
lie blue bordered with the footing at
lie bock of the neck.
The sleeves arc longer than the
Trench, which persistently reveal the
Ibow at just the most awkward

ength. The footing also (rims these

>ver the elbow.
Footing Used Extensively.
Footing is extensively used this sea¬
son. There are many varieties, Till’
5nest is culled French blond, and has n
i,arrow edge like French seaming
traiil as a finish. The texture of this
s extremely lint', like the threads in
real lace. All footing is narrow, sel
lom over two inches wide. The point
IVsprit, the plain white or the black,
s introduced on every part of the
rock. Borne of the prettiest collars
me can find tire made of bands of
looting gathered into a puff amt film oil
x-tween rows of fine valeneietthcs
ace. But to return t-< our georgettes,
' companion dress to the blue beauty
[ have been describing repeats the
skirt except for the bands of footing.
The waist Is of the plainest shirtwaist
type, relieved by bands of the fusjt
onnhle Margot lace placed in perpep
iieular manner so as to form nu entire
jacket effect, the ends of which appear
below the wide sash of blue satin.
The printed georgettes are greatly
In demand. A lovely Dresden flower
design with a white background and
little blossoms of blue and pink
thickly scattered all over Its surface
lias wee rnflles of white organdie at in¬
tervals across The front In the popular
apron effect noticed upon almost every
< ther gown.
These tiny ruffles are scarcely half
an Inch wide, but because they are
fluted and so stiff they stand out
effectively and make a delightful trim¬
ming. The drapery of this skirt is
graceful in the extreme, hardly possi¬
ble to describe, however, except to say

ette flowered In daffodil yellow and

that It falls In long loops from under
the sash of rose pink satin.
The bodice has a fold of the flowered
georgette drnped across the front In a
monk’s collar fashion, seemingly one
of the most, populur ways of finishing
this sort of frock at the neck. The
organdie frills border this, too, and
the short sleeves are likewise edged
with the frills.
The blue nnd white printed georg¬
ettes are among the most successful
gowns of the summer. They are made
In almost every fashion, with straight
slips of dark blue satin or silk under¬
neath os a foundation, while the
printed fabric Is draped in straight
tunic with unbroken lines from shoul¬
ders almost to hem. A wide sash of
(lark blue satin Is tied loosely nbout the
wfilat arid left to hang somewhat lower
In the hack to give the sort of over¬
hanging lines nnd long waist effect so
much sought. This way of making the
printed georgettes Is excellent for the
dark blues or black and white, and Is
the sort of afternoon dress one is al¬
ways needing during the summer.
Chemise Dress a Boon.
The chemise dress Is n boon to al¬
most every woman, for It requires a
sash,'and sashes, Wide or narrow belts
and the drooping waistline cover a
multitude of faulty figures which are
revealed with unsparing frankness lri
separate waist nnd skirt. The thick
waist appears almost slim when the
wide sash and belt are cleverly ar¬
ranged so ns not to accentuate, while
a waist and skirt seem to point only to
the added girth.
Few women who have attained this
undesirable thickness through the waist
realize apparently what a top-heavy
look they have with a light shirtwaist
above a dark skirt—If they did all
I least would hnvt* abandon skirt nnd this waist fashion of the and same at
color, nil \jhite, for instance, or ull
blue.
It is not safe always to follow one’s
neighbor’s choice In the matter of
clothes, however lovely they nppenr on
that neighbor. We can all, the thick
and the thin, hall happily the summer
sash and ding to It ,as Jong ps the de¬
signers of women’s clothes will let us,
for it is our friend and we ought to
reverence It.
Dainty for Summsr Wear,
Contrasting with these rather awk¬
ward dresses are the charming things
of pale georgette nnd tinted lace. They
I are ns delicate and dainty as summer
clouds, refined and “ladylike,” an old
fashioned word which has been lost
1 in a maze of uniforms nnd tight skirts
1 and other sartorial diversities until w#
seldom see this sort of dress.
The tinted laee is really enchanting.
’ A silvery chiffon
gray frock made over
1 tight slip of taffeta lets this
a gray
slip show below the upper draperies of
lhe soft chiffon and the pale gray lgre
tinted to match the exact shade. Along
the edge of the silken petticoat there
is a quilted rutile of the taffeta which
Uokls the petticoat In In a slightly
hobbled effect about the ankles.
The laee used for this Is the all-over
shadow laee with its cobweb fineness.
Ii is wide enough to drape one side
entirely and falls over the georgette In
soft, graceful lines. The gray lace ap¬
pears also almost entirely covering the
waist, draping in front in the sort of
nionk’r collar I mentioned above. A
sash of soft, silvery gray satin con¬
fines the waist and hangs at Just the
light ongle at one side. Lavender
chiffon w|tl| optra deux of the softly
tinted laee is not only lovely but has
m added charm in being different from
ordinary things.
The frock as to line follows the
draped designs of this type of dress:
the charm, however, lies in the beauty
and the novelty of the tinted lace cem
biucd so cleverly,
NECESSARY TO KEEP BOOKS
Without Accurate Accounts No Form
•f Business Can Be Successfully
Carried On.
Accountancy, which is the science
of systematizing business, has a his¬
tory that runs back at least 4.000
years. Very early in the development
of nations it was found that in com¬
merce as well as In the affairs of state,
systematic and careful account-keep¬
ing were indispensable. These sys¬
tems were, at first, crude and labori¬
ous, but they at least kept the finances
of the nation and the marts of trade
from being chaotic.
The invention of double entry book¬
keeping early In the fifteenth century
by the merchants and bankers of Ven¬
ice gave to the commerce of Europe an
invaluable trade instrument, and one
without which the great commercial
enterprises of the later centuries could
hardly have existed.
And so It has been on down to the
present time; there has been a parallel
progress between the accomplishments
of commerce and the science of ac¬
counting, and it is known to every man
In business that the former could not
continue without the latter. Even the
most unbusinesslike people know this
much, and we can hardly imagine any¬
one silly enough to attempt to carry
on any kind of a business enterprise
without keeping books.
Bookkeeping, as a formal subject of
study. Is taught in most of the public
and private schools of this country,
hut It Is only that form of hookkeeping
that applies to the affairs of the mer¬
chant or the shopkeeper. The public
has yet to learn that bookkeeping is
quite as necessary to the prosperity of
the wagewo-vfcer, the salaried man, the
farmer and the housekeeper as it is to
the shopkeeper, the merchant or the
manufacturer.—Exchange.

When the talk turns from politics to railroads,
and the traveler with the cocksure air breaks
in with, “There’s an awful lot of ‘water’ in
the railroads,” here are some hard-pan facts
to give him:
American railroads have cost $80,900 a mile
— roadbed, structures, stations, yards, termin¬
als, freight and passenger trains—everything
from the great city terminals to the last spike.
A good concrete-and-asphalt highway costs
$36,000 a mile—j ust a bare road, not count¬
ing the cost of culverts, bridges, etc.
Our railroads couldn’t be duplicated to¬
day for $150,000 a mile.
They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mile—
much less than their actual value. Seventy-one
thousand dollars today will buy one locomotive.
English railways are capitalized at $274,COO a
mile; the French at $155,000; German $132,000;
even in Canada (still in pioneer development)
they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The
average for all foreign countries is $100,000.
Low capitalization and high operating effici¬
ency have enabled American Railroads to pay
the highest wages while charging the lowest
rates.
