I HAVE some news for you thin
week about next season s sash
iona. but before I give you thia
little peep Into the future I want to
bring before you, if 1 can. a mental
picture, at any rate, of the present
mode as displayed to absolute per
faction by a certain lovely Annul
can girl (there was no mistaking
her nationality, even though 1 never
heard her speak) whom I saw and
admired whole-heartedly at the
Ritz the other night. She was tn
very truth “divinely tall" and fair,
and her willowv figure was just
swathed in flesh-colored chiffon
over, of course, ninon and char
meuae of the same delicately sug
geative shade, though of these
Inner fabrics there was no outer
sign, so cleverly was Iho most
filmy of the three materials ar
ranged. It was. In fact, the au
preme triumph of the apparently
unstudied simplicity, which, as I
well know, demands the greatest
•kill for its su~c< ssful interprets
tlon. nd furthermore, being wise
above most women, this beautiful
creature had crowned her flesh
colored robe ; » her fair, smoothly
curled hair with an enormous
black hat, also and absolutely un
trimmed, so th there was nothing
to break its marvellous "line.” For
c iments she had just a rope of
perfect pearls hanging almost to
her knees, and one huge single
pearl ring, and. perhaps. I need
hardly tell you, that her shoes and
stockings were also flesh-colored
in tint and respectively charmeuse
and silk as to their fabric. The cor
sage of the dress was arranged In a
deeply cut V about the neck, while
the sleeves continued their shirred
softness of chiffon far over the
hand.
I should like to have photographed
this delightful costume so that it
might be shown in my story this
week. But I am sending vou pic
tures of three costumes that are
just as perfect in their wav as the
one I have just described. Ah you
already know. gray green amt
green-blue are favorite comblna
tlons of mine. One of my Paris
costumers tells me that green must
be my “mascot" color I always
like a touch of it on everything I
make.
If green, then. Is my mascot
color, the afternoon gown I am
showing you must be my "mascot
dress, for It Is created of green
blue crepe charmeuse. the heaw
lustrous kind that drapes almos*
without effort. The skirt, as you
will see la, is one piece. It is made

or counteract every mood. Eor instance: One mood,
not unlike that ol a child anticipating a pleasure, re
quired a pink gown ; another, lavender, etc. This would
have been simple enough. Imt I read further and dis
covered that these gowns must lie made according to
certain rules or they would entirely fail in their pur
pose. I imagined the look of unfeigned fear on my
dressmaker's face, should I le|| her that I wanted a joy
ruffle ou my pink gown or that the melancholy piping
was out of place on the fawn I forsook that branch of
beauty advice and felt grateful that I had not gone too
far to turn back.
I hen the endless diets, exercises, appliances and
suggestions were followed with almost fiendish eager
ness Alter a futile search for beauty by all the roads
presented by The Beautiful I one day despaired
It was in my desperate hour that I discovered the

of indigestion, nor the half-hearted
state which lacks enthusiasm for
pleasure. The beautiful health must
be a strong, capable, purposeful con
dition with a keen interest in the joy
of living tind doing.
My trials had taught me one thing

except in acute or critical eases
Therefore I had learned that Nature

failed in their purpose because each could affect but a
small portion of the body.
But yet 1 was not discouraged. In fact, I was sub
limely happy, for at the moment 1 discovered that good
health means beauty I found “Try-New-Life.”
"Try-New-Life is well described by its name.
I no longer needed to lame muscles, bruise flesh and
endure tortures for the sake of gaining health and
beauty. All I needed was this simple, marvelous inven
tion to cure all ills and become my physical best.
Winter used to he a dread to me. It meant a mis
erable bronchial cough which caused sleepless nights,
and brought anxious looks on Mother’s face. “Eve
lyn’s cough” was the most important topic of con
versation from November until the spring violets ap
peared.
Now we have a pleasanter subject with which to
beguile our friends. It is “ Try-New-Life. ”*
We can be sympathetic with all their ills and
enjoy the satisfaction of knowing
that we can suggest a real remedy
far superior to herb tea or goose
grease.
When a friend says to me. “ Eve
lyn. I have a splitting headache." 1
no longer have to reply that I am sor

say I am—outrageously well.’ Then “Try-New-Life”
is what you need to change you from a person half
alive to one radiantly well and vibrant.
The list of ailments for which my friends and my
family have used “Try-New-Life” would make the
index of a medical encyclopedia envious. At first it
was hard to convince some of my friends that neuralgia
could be positively cured by its use. but now they are
as ready as I am to admit that the wonder worker will
remedy all chronic ailments.
It is a simple principle—aiding Nature in her
work, l.t is a pleas- -
ant treatment and
a rest fid on e.
There is no sensa
tion of being doc
tored or disturbed.
Best of all. it is a
real remedy with
no disagreeable af
ter-effects.
The day of
drugging has pass-
ed. We no longer rush for medicine or the doctor for
every little ailment. Our doctors despise us if we do,
for they know full well how ineffective drugs arc save
in emergencies when a shock is needed.
Perhaps I ought to give you scientific reasons for
its wonder-working. But I think I can do something
for you that will be more beneficial.

is what I call practical good Samarilanship.
<ud used lengthwise so that no
seams are necessary.
In creating a skirt of this kind
I drape it on the living model. As
.'on will see, this drapery caught
up as it is in the back, gives a
semi-pannier effect.
I w ish that I might show you a
view of the back. The crepe is
'.toped through a wide crystal
buckle just above the knees
the bodice is a modification of
ni> peasant model. You will notice
that there are no armholes. Little
turn back cuffs of Nile green satin
are the only finish on the sleeves.
1 like particularly the collar and
apron of cream-colored lace This
collar and apron and the edgo of
the skirt are piped with the green
satin.
One of the tenets of my faith
Is that the girdle either greatly
enhances, or mars the gown The
girdle on this costume is Oriental
in design. It is made of curious
flowers in shades of rose, blue and
green.
And still another green afternoon
gown is here pictured. This sec
ond costume is more formal than
tne first. It is of satin charmeuse
and is suitable for the races or
any in town formal occasion. The
akirt is shirred at the bottom in
the back and this edge is bound
with brown skunk fur.
The front, fastening is novel and
Is being accepted by all chic Paris
lenaes. The skirt is very plain. The
green satin buttons and small
loops are its only decorations. Tn
this coat the sleeves are long, nar
row and set in several inches below
the shoulder line. The length of
the sleeve necessarily gives the
smart mousquetaire effect.
The girdle is exquisite. It Is
Oriental. The beads are vari
colored and iridescent and I have
used touches of chenille embroid
ery also. The long tassel It of
green silk.
The third costume of blue serge
and gold braid I call my army
gown. The front of the skirt is
severely lain. The back Is draped
just above the ankles. The girdle
of gold braid with its black sash
and gold tassels and the knob-like
gold buttons are decidedly chi«
touches to this severe costume. Os
course, a tiny lace collar is worn,
ami cuffs to match
In this costume the armholes are
four inches below the normal line.
Os course, the hat is small and
simple. It is of pale gold velour
and the military pompon is of
vieux blue.
