B LACK watered silk parasols are
very popular thla year The
handles are always elaborate;
very often they are exceedingly cost
ly. Carved Jade is one of the latest
materials for parasol handles; and
finely carved quartz inset with old
paste la also much used. And while
speaking of jade I must not neglect
to sav that small bracelets of this
stone are the ’'clou” of the moment.
These little bracelets are slipped on
over the wrist and two or three are
worn at the same time
• • •
The millinery of the present sea
son is admirably picturesque. Quan
tities of tulle and lace are being used,
immense capeline shapes are com
posed entirely of pleated tulle, cloche
shapes are covered with fine black
lace. Everything is done to obtain Old
World effects. The leading milliners
are haunting the famous picture gal
leries of Paris In the hope of finding
fresh and unexpected ideas
• • •
It 1* now the fashion to open the
corsages of la«e and muslin gowns
intended for day wear in a generous
V which ends Just above the waist
line Certainly, there Is a chemisette
underneath, a chemisette of exqui
site fine lace or of embroidered mus
lin. In some cases, but thla becomes
more and more rare, a gulmpe of
cobweb tulle is worn. In addition the
sleeves of afternoon gowns are fre
quently transparent In many cases
they «re exceedingly long, reaching
to the wrista and well over the hands,
but thay are almost always transpar
ent.
• • •
A one-piece oergre dreys is useful,
especially In the mountains, where!
the weather is cool and the climb
ing is rough It can be made in Peter |
Tom style for younger women, or with
a aallor collar applied to a simple,
front-dosed, one-piece frock for old
er women. It should have a skirt |
with ample fullness about the ankles.
This fullness can be arranged
gracefully, so that the skirt still re
tains a straight look; on® of the new
outing skirts has the fulness but
toned under the aide seams in the
forma of tucks, which can be un
buttoned when necessary. Heavv
soled tan shoes, with medium heels,
or white canvas shoes of substantial
make are the most comfortable for
climbing, and tramping, ns well.

In some of the newest underwear,
crepe de thine and lace are closely
combined, tine new’ style of night
gown. for instance, shows a shadow
lace yoke and sleeves, with a skirt
of crepe de chine, edged with lace.
I’nderbodices, made entirely of la re
and rbbon. are often attached to crepe
de chine petticoats. t'hemises. too.
of crepe de chine, show deep insets
and shoulder straps of lace.
• • •
The newest tunic is of purely Flor
entine shape. It has no sleeves and
it i« short, being fastened at the
fra 1st by a be’t of g ove kid studded
with precious stones. The hem of
such tank's should always be slight
ly stiffened, as the w’hole success of
the garment depends on its outline.
The skirt should be cleverly draped
and very clinging, while the sho’t
tunic should stand out at the sides.
• • •
The newest parasols are either pa
godas in outline, which is to say ex
aggeratedly domed; or they are al
most flat and bordered with heavv
fringes. Many of the new’ parasols
have little Jointed handles, in the Old
World style, and nearly all show
la^ge bows of velvet or satin ribbon
somewhere on the handle. The flat
shapes are sometimes exquisitely em
broidered in the Japanese style
* • •
Tapestry belts of this order look
extremely well when worn with coat-
e s of black taffeta or black watered
silk: the faded colors of the tapestry
being repeated in the hat trimming*
or in the embroidereics displayed on
collar or revers.
• • •
A decidedly smart neck finish can
be made with two lengths of one of
the full dotted net ruchings which
are sold by the yard. Get twice enough
io go about the neck of the frock.
Join the two pieces together with a
band of black velvet ribbon, arrang
ing one niching to stand upright
about the neck, the other to go the
other way. The effect is graceful
and easily produced.
• • •
Stockings with embroidered butter
flies about the ankles are made for
evening wear. Each wing of the but
terflies is spotted with rhinestones
Other white silk stockings show em
broidered anklets done in w hite, and
still others show lace anklets, made
of baby Irish lace insertion.
• • •
The vogue of the yoke Is amazing.
Scarcely a gown appears without the
transparent inset of net, lace or tulle,
and it Is a fashion becoming to ev
ery face, contributing a softness of
line which is always desirable The
pha«es of the yoke are many, being
round, square. V or V shaped, and it
* fashioned of all transparent ma
terials. from priceless lace to inex
pensive maline. It is tucked, shirred,
pleated or fitted smoothly over the
neck, and seldom appears with a high
col la r.

T HE scalloped bathing suit is one of the Summer’s fancies.
The little dress we portray has a foundation of gray satin,
trimmed in plaid satin of gray and Geneva blue. The suit
opens down the front and i* trimmed in self-buttons in a double
row down its full length. The deep scallops at the bottom are
bound in the plaid, and in turn the scalloped swallow-tailed red-
ingote of the plaid and the upper sleeve is made kimono fashion
and is a continuation of the gray satin yoke which has little half
inch tucks in groups of three. The neck is cut in a modest V and
is piped, yoke fashion, in the plaid.
of it* daintiness. Crush the wide rose-
sprigged ribbpn softly about the waist
and stitch featherbont* at the front,
sides and back. Take a strip of Inch-
wide satin ribbon and gather it at
each edge, drawing the thread as
tightly as possible. From this shirred
ribbon fashion a bow knot and adorn
the center with a tiny wreath of min
iature roses and forgotmenots.

The opaque petticoat has made it?
appearance in the Atlanta depart
ment stores It 18 made with extra
heavy panels, back and front, and
as the stores advertise, “Alls a long-
felt want." The attention of the man
ufacturers of ready-to-wear clothing
has been turned toward under linen
that will go with the outer clothes
that are fashionable. It took three
years for the majority of manufa •-
tutors to alter the lines of lingerie to
suit skirts that women wore, a large
problem when one considers that out
er clothes are capricious, and there
is no prophet who can tell how long
any silhouette will last.
• • •
It would be a difficult task to give
even a slight summary of the con
trasting styles that are in fashion
this summer, but if you have clothes
to make, it is well for you to know
that your day frocks may have tulle
collars to the ears or a V-shaped dec-
olletage to the bust, full elbow sleeve*
or long mousquetaire ones, a short
skirt, or one that hangs Japanese
fashion, for three inches on the floor
You may wear a girdle from hip to
bust, or a one-im’h leather belt. th“
skirt may be draped up in the back
and down in the front, or the other
way around; and yet, notwithstand
ing the laxity of styles, there are cer
tain ways of doing th'ngs that mak ■
every gown right and another way
which makes them wrong
• • •
The variety in waistcoats is very
satisfying to the woman who can not
wear the masculine type. They are
made of satin brocade, of Oriental
crepe, of Chinese and Japanese em
broidery, of striped siik, of flowered
taffeta and figured crepe. Some a tv
like blouses and are intended to serve
as auch when the coat is removed.
They are open In the neck, quite loos**
and soft, are fastened in a straight
line down the front with fancy but
ton* and have unusually large arm-
holes with sleeves that go to the
wrists. Th s kind is belted at the
waist with a narrow girdle of mate
rial or contrasting velvet ribbon, and
there is a breast pocket which oft, -,
holds a .'•mall handkerchief with a
small colored border.
A Question of
Point
To paint or not to paint, is the
question all women over thirty years
of age are up against now. The wo
man who makes up is so numer
ous that a natural complexion which
has stood the stress of thirty-odd
Hummers is apt to look worse than
it is. when compared with the fresh-
looking f.n e of her companion. And
never was ‘make-up" more artistical
ly or skilfully done than at the pres
ent time. The thickly powdered face
with Its intensely roughed cheeks and
heavily blackened eyelids is a specta
cle of ever greater rarity. Instead,
in any gathering of women in full
rig-out we see faces and hair toned
in conformity with age and nature—
cheek* with a pleasant healthy glow
which only an expert can dectect as
make-up; hair no longer uniformly
tinted to Titian shades, but adaptc i
to the face It frames, while grey hair
is becoming less and less of a draw -
back and being put forward as an ad
vantage. Perfectly w’hite hair for the
elderly woman is as much sought
after to-day as was the rich golden
ten years ago.

Tor Porch Tables
One of the little annoyances which
pester the summer housewife as soon
as she gets her porch furniture m
place is the maddening way the table
covers glow gayly around.
They are always getting rumpled
even If they are weighted with books
or flower vases. In fact, the last state
of the woman who puts a flower vase
on such a table cover is likely to be
wor e than the first; for in the flrsl
j really snappy breeze tha* comes
along, coyer, vase, flowers and all go
! by the board.
This wanderlust is not confined to
i the table covers, either. The morning
paper salts off. not merely three
sheets in the wind, but the whole
| tumultuous edition. Fancy work
goes. too. In fact, wherever ocean
breezes blow or mountain gusts sweep
i by, this probietn of anchoring things
j to the porch table Is a pressing one.
And yet it has been solved. One
; can buy a little nickel-piated spring
j arrangement that w ill effectually hold
i a cover in its place. Its usefulness
ran be extended to include papers ur
I other articles not too thick. The
i more bulky ones won t blow off, any
way.
They Quit Studies for Factories,
Though They Might Have
More Schooling.
WASHINGTON, July 26 Interest
Ing because of its bearing on the tes
timony as to girls’ employment re
cently investigated by the Illinois
Senatorial "White Slave" Committee
1st a bulletin Just issued by the Bu
reau of Education
It is written after a careful study
of trade and labor conditions among
girls in Worcester, Mass., preliminary
to the establishment of a trade school
for girls. The conclusion reached is
that from one-half to three-fourths of
the girls at work in factories could
have had further schooling if they
wanted to. or if their parents had
cared to insist on it.
More Girls Leave School.
The survey shows that the number
of girls between 14 and 16 years of
age who leave school is constantly In
creasing. In the last five years many
more girls between those ages left the
Worcester schools than can be ac
counted for by increase in the popu
lation. Only about 17 per cent of
them had finished the grammar
schools; most of them left In the sixth
and seventh years. Worcester is
token as a fair index of any of the
manufacturing towns of the country.
Why did these girls leave school?
Various reasons were assigned by the
girls themselves. Some 30 said that
they "did not like the school; could
not get along with the teacher: were
not promoted, or wanted to get to
work."
Why Girls Quit Studies.
Two were working to help pay for a
piano. One of these was a caah girl
of 14 years who had left the ninth
grade to go to work in a department
Store for $2. Liter she got $2.50 p»-r
week. Another was a girl of 15 from
the eighth grade, who went to work
in a cors»et factory for $1 and rose to
$4.82 per week. Still another girl was
taking music lessons and contributing
to the payments for a piano.
in the opinion of the Board of Edu
cation conditions #uoh as found at
Worcester emphasize the imperative
need for special training of a practi
cal sort for girls between 13 and 15.
In the main the girls left school sim
ply becauwe they disliked the school
work
Not getting the kind of training
they might have liked and would have
protited by, they blindly Joined the
army if shifting, inefficient, discon
tented girls that go from one monot
onous factory task to another, and,
because of their lack of training,
rarely rise above the class of low-
paid, unskilled workers.
Skirt Too Tight Is
Ruled Worthless
Court Holds That Even Plea of Fash
ion Will Not Hold if Walk
ing Is Prevented.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS. July 26. A Paris court has
decided that a dress which is too
tight to walk in is worthless to the
person who ordered it and need not
be paid for.
Last year Mrs. Price, an American
resident of Paris, had a dress made,
the price of which was $75. When the
dress was delivered she refused lo
take it because she could not walk in
it. The dressmaker summoned her for
the money, and refused to alter the
dress because tight skirts were fash
ionable.
Mrs. Price brought a counter-ac
tion and lost it. appealed and has now
won her appeal with costs.
Lace and Stock
ing 5
For summer fancy' work the girl
with more time than money might
undertake to ornament a few pairs
of silk stockings. Lace insettings are
effectively used just now for this pur
pose and the handwork involved is
much less intricate than embroidery.
Once the lace is arranged on the
stocking the effect is gained and there
remains only the cp refill sewing to
bring a satisfactory result. In the
case of embroidery one can never b*?
so sure of the effect of handwork un
til the pattern is far advanced and it
is visually then too late to change
if the result is disappointing.
By studying the designs of lace uscid
for insetting in the expensive stock
ings in exclusive shops it is easy to
| decide on a model. A flight of but-
I terflies, of graduating sizes, is a de-
! sign worth copying, and two Van-
i dykes of lace, forming a sort of hour
glass design, with points meeting 1
1 at the ankle, is another effective ar-
| rangement quite within the possibil-
i ities of the home worker.
Any lace showing a design that
I can be easily cut out and applied is
. appropriate for insetting in silk
stockings.
Miss Mary Forbes Wears Charm
ing Gowns in New Farce of
Harold Smith.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON. July 26.—.Society folk in
variably look to the stage .for "ad
vance fashions.” In the new farce
written by Harold Smith, brother of
F. E. Smith, the great politician, some
charming gowns are worn. Miss Mary
Forbes, in act one, wears a simple
mauve frock, with touches of black
at the neck and waist, and a turn
over collar of lace.
And one of her gowns is of white
silk, with which she wears a short,
knitted tiger yellow 7 coat, striped with
black. A Neapolitan hat of knitted
silk, In the same shade of yellow, is
supplemented with a black satin bor
der.
One of Miss Brough’s dresses is a
little morning toilet of black und
w’hite bird’s-eye foulard, a s.trlp of
raspberry colored silk being let Inti
the front like a slip on a man’s coat
and caught witty a huge black braid
motif.
An evening gown of “blush rose"
satin, veiled in front and behind with
garnet colored nlnon above blush pink
and falling away in front, to show the
garnet colored nlnon, is an overdress
of ivory mousseline de sole, embossed
with gold and edged with gold bouil
lon fringe, white the corsage is of
ivory lace.
BRIDE AT ALTAR HALTS

for a license.
When Justice Grigsby asked the
couple to Join hand? 1 , the bride dis
covered she had on a black skirt. She
threw up her hands and exclaimed:
"There Is nothing stirring just yet.
No marrying in black for me. No,
indeed, it’s a bad omen, and I don’t
want to start off bad."
They left the courthouse and two
hours later they returned, the bride
dressed in w’hite. and the waiting jus
tice performed the ceremony.
WOMAN, WHO NEVER WORE

TEARS UP LICENSE WHEN
HE SEES FIANCEE WED
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, July 26—They say
that a gayety girl is bom every
minute, and I don’t doubt it. A1ho(
I don’t doubt that "Governor
George Edwardes has need for
twice as many as nature supplies.
You know exactly the style ho
wants—the gentle, purring, listless,
lissome, Edna Mav-like, languid,
delicate, wistful, pensive, reluctant
and Christmas card type. No other
type goes in London.
The average American type is not
at all popular. Sometimes some
fervid critic and impassioned re
viewer asserts that she i-s. VV ell, I
assert distinctly—she isn’t. She
must conform to the above require
ments. "The pink lady" sirens, for
instance, were very harshly criti
cised for being loud, not reluctant.
Ail of which is neither here nor
there, except to illustrate the fact
that in "The Dancing Mistress” at
the Royal Adelphi Theater we see
another of those things formless,
chaotic, invertebrate and unintelli
gible—that depend entirely on girls.
Malone Arch Girl Setter.
In this case she is "set" by T. A.
E. Malone, George Edwardes’arch
est and most insinuating girl setter
(he came over to New 7 York to
set the “sunshine girl" at the Knick
erbocker Theater) to a "book” (so-
called) bv James Tanner, to lyrics
(alleged) by Adrian Ross and Percy
Greenback, and to music not at all
up to the usual standard of that de
lightful tune manipulator, Lionel
Monckton.
It doesn’t matter in the least.
"The Dancing Mistress’’ may be as
dull as ditch water (which it is. and
the comparison is rough on the vi
vacity of ditch water); as incom
prehensible as a Sanskrit legend,
and as lacking in humor as a comic
weekly, but it is a success for all
that. It is so beautifully girled in all
the dresses of the wardrobe.
it has girl at a "finishing” school
near Brighton; it has girl at a
"grand" hotel In Switzerland; it has
girl at a swagger London hotel.
There you are. It seems to me that
the authors of these London musi
cal comedies (nearly all of them
exactly and positively alike) are not
the Tanners find Moncktons, but
the fathers and mothers of the las
sies. "The Dancing Mistress," by
50 pairs of fathers and mothers,
should be the line on the program,
by rights.
Miss Dare Much Postcarded.
The leading girl at the Adelphi !
now’ Is little Phyllis Dare, w 7 ho has |
taken the place of Gertie Millar. ,
Gertie has been switched to Daily’s,
and of her more anon, and some
other time. Little Miss Dare, who
Is very much postal-carded, is al
most terribly pretty.
Her prettiness amounts almost to
a fault. She is pale and blonde, and
thlnnisli and dainty, and oh, so
wistful. She seems to be yearning
all the time.
She looks out upon a "sea of
heads" in the audience as though
she were scared to «#eath. as though
stye were saying. "Oh, please be
good to your little Phyllis, for she
is such a timid little puss.”
Sometimes this is very effective. I
It all depends upon your mood—
sometimes it is very irritating. You
feel that if you opera-glassed her
too severely she would swoon be
fore your eyes. All of which is, of
course, but a pretty little illusion.
Miss Dare is by no means new to
the business and is really self-
possessed. t
In "The Dancing Mistress" she
has one very pretty song with Jose
phine Coyne. They are on skis in
Switzerland, and of course you
know what a ski Is. If you don’t
I’ll tell that it is a sort of elon
gated skate. Little Phyllis and Jo
sephine Coyne do this remarkably
well. It Is one of the very, very few
things in "The Dancing Mistress"
that are worth while. You wake up
for a minute or two from the deadly
apathy into w’hich the eventlessness
of the proceedings has plunged you,
and you feel tempted to applaud.
Prettiness No Boon.
Another London favorite in "The
Dancing Mist reps” Is Miss Grade
Leigh, a very clever and delightful
little w’oman who Isn’t pretty for
one moment, and who is therefore a
positive relief. Anybody who isn’t
pretty in "The Dancing Mistress” is
a joy. Anybody who isn’t pretty
seems daring and original.
A Polaire or a Mistlnguette among
all these zimmering. afternoon tea
damselines would be perfectly won
derful.
Miss Grade Leigh is a capital
dancer, and Mi«s Grade Leigh ha»s a
sense of humor. She ha.s a Scotch
dance to offer that—like the ski
number mentioned above—rouses
you from your torpor.
A very plump Frenchwoman, pro-'
grammed as Mile. M. Caumont,
works so hard that she almost fa
tigues. She is relied upon for comedy,
and she is merciless in her efforts to
secure it. Her role is not at all a
funny one, and not even a pretty
one, so it is just as w’ell that no
English lassie takes it.
Caumont is a clever woman, but
she seems out of place In this sort
o£ a show 7 . Then there is Miss El
sie Spencer, who is quite nice in a
subdued and coloness London way.
But the pretty ones swamp the
whole thing—Trixie Hillin, and
Gladys Kiorton, and Dorothy Dev-
ers and Dorothy Laim, and Isobel
Elsom. and Kathleen Vincut, and
Gypsy O’Brien—ad lib.
"The Dancing Mistress,” I fancy,
alms at “The Quaker Girl," but it is
really nothing of the sort—nothing
of any sort. It is a beautifully
staged, girled and appointed blank.
Members Are Urged to Elect
Delegates to International
Congress on Hygiene.
Mr*. S. G. Hodgson, of Peachtree,
State health chairman of the Gener
al Federation of Women’s Clubs, has
received a letter from Mrs. S. S.
Crockett, chairman of the Public
Health Department of the Federation,
railing attention to the great service
of the clubwomen of America In help
ing to make a success of the fourth
International Congress on School Hy
giene, w’hich is to he held at Buffalo
the last week in August, and w’hich is
being supported by the General Fed
eration, under the presidency of Mrs.
Percy V. Pennybacker.
In her letter Mrs. Crockett says:
"The public health committee of the
General Federation of Women’s
Clubs suggests that women’s organi
zations generally shall endeavor to
take advantage of the International
School Hygiene Congress at Buffalo
In August, so that in their respective
communities new’ Interest may be
awakened because of this great in
ternational meeting. Please remem
ber that all those who attend this
congress will be furnished w 7 lth the
printed proceedings—a veritable li
brary of scientific information on the
subject."
The suggestion offered by Mrs.
Crockett is that the clubwomen of
this State urge the appointment of
delegates to the Buffalo congress from
the following organizations; School
boards, health boards, boards of trade,
school improvement associations, pub
lic educational associations, parent-
teachers’ associations and others.
Mrs. Crockett further urges that
each school, college, club and public
library subscribe to membership In
the congress, in order to secure the
volume of proceedings.
