Separate Blouses and the Waistcoat | Vogue—Models Destined to Com-' plement Tailored Suit. Tor early fall wear, before it is cold enough to don a winter suit, a coat dress is one of the most practical purchases. Fashioned of tricolette, of wool velours or tricotine, as well as heavy, double-faced satin, a dress of this type possesses . the utmost dis- tinction, and in its tailored simplicity is a compromise between the usual one-piece frock and the more conven- tional coat and skirt costume. Just at present there are any num- ber of interesting frocks of tricolette to be seen, and their clinging, graceful lines are most attractive. Some are almost sheathlike in their slimness, and it behooves a woman to he quite sure that she is properly corseted be- fore attempting such a gown, for there are no folds or draperies to camouflage discrepancies of figure. Navy blue, black and a rich coppery brown are the colors which predom- Incte, and while some models show a clever use of extremely long “fringe, others have just a bit of heavy silk braid about the neck or used for a sash, i TRarely is there a bit of white to relieve the severity of the neck line. This is a trying fashion, but very smart. Sometimes serge or satin is combined with tricolette with excellent results. The foundation is of navy serge, and over this is worn a modi- fled tunic dress of navy tricolette stitched and showing novel touches in the cut of the sleeves and in the flaps, which are caught down by but- tons of serge. Once merely an integral part of the frock or blouse, the waistcoat has row become a decisive facter in de- termining the success of one’s cos- tume. Made of every conceivable ma- terial, it serves to break the exceed- ing simple, almost severe lines of our war-time frocks, and designers have shown great ingenuity and cleverness in planning and fashioning these lit- tle garments. They have gradually lengthened until now some reach al- most to the knees, while others con- tent themselves with stopping just below the waistline. As a rule a ma- terfal is chosen which™in texture is a decided contrast *o the gown itself. Jersey is placed with satin, chiffqn with serge or pique, and linen with velour,” iind’ the effect is always de- lightful, especially when the trimming takes the form of conventional motifs | done in old-fashioned - embroidery stitches, chain stitching, done in wool or silk—the seed stitch of Chinese work, as well as odd designs carried out by couching or cross stitching. Separate blouses have not escaped the waistcot " vogue, and there are some won¢ ' interesting models destined t ment the tailored suit which more is back in! favor. One blouse of white batiste has a waisteoat of handkerchief linen, with a quilted design adapted from Persian char 5. The design is repeated on . Rather more simple, but graceful and becoming is another Llcuse of rose-colored batiste. This bas a long stole collar of sheer white andie ornamented by chintz de- signs placed back of the fabric and stitched to it with rose-colored thread.

The American Red Cross canteen at Dijon, France, boasts the possession of Tom, a colored cook from the state of Georgia. Saturday nights Tom makes “something special.” The last Saturday in August the special was chocolate layer cake. Thomas had no suitable oven, and so without the aid of a single word of French he induced a nearby Wrench baker to loan his idle ovens. “How did you do it, Tom?” Miss Field, the directress, asked him. “Oh, I jes' told him that these here ate it if he would bake a little cake for ’em. An’ he didn’t make no fuss ‘bout it. - ‘Certainment,’ he says, and so I puts the cakes in the oven, an’ that’s all there is to it.” “Tom,” replied Miss Field, “you ard a wonder."™ That is what our boys said when they ate the cake. Deserves a Better Job. We climbed into a motor accompans fed by Marcus. Marcus, by the way, is one of the characters of the unit, Ma- jor Theodore Waters writes in the Christian Herald. He is more than that; he is an institution, is Marcus— a product of the peculiar stress through which Jerusalem has passed e says he is 14 years old. But he 16oks much younger and acts much olds er. He can read and writes Knglish, Russian, -French and Avabic, and he passed through all the regimes, Turk- ish, German and English, and he has taken toll of each in the acquiring of languages and baksheesh. Yet, strange- ly enough, he is both industrious and honest, and is the sole support of his widowed mother. If you would know what he looks llke, imagine a gnome about three and a half feet high, as broad as a brownie and as brown as a berry, with two blg dark eyes that shine out of the middle of a perpetual smile. New Motive Power for Barges. In a novel English method of pro- pulsion for canal barges, a small air pump driven by the engive creates a vacuum in the chamber containing the propeller, and this draws the water above the level of the canal. This ar- rangement is claimeg to lessen the ero- sive effects making increased speeds practicable. A barge of 32 tons was prepared for trial by mounting on it an old motor car engine of 18 to 20 horse power, and from : preliminary tests was expected to run about five miies an hour when loaded, and eight or nine miles yhen empty.

The Oll, Paint and Drug Reporter mentions a new explosive being tested by the government which will save a considerable amount of glycerin. Itis ealled nitrobyronel and is the product of Dr. Byron E. Eldred. It is claimed that it blows a chamber twice the size of that caused by T. N. T. (trinitro- toluol). In the manufacture of nitro- byronel neither nitroglycerin nor to- luol is used. It is a hyarocarbon ob- tnined by a by-product in coke-oven processes. 1t is estimated that 50,000,000 pounds of glycerin is used in American in- dustrial concerns, and a big saving in this important material, now growing scarce, can be effected through the employment of nitrobyronel. If a shortage of glycerin should be- come imminent, the Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter believes that the gov- ernment would promptly start in to manufacture nitrobyronel. Keep After the Weeds.

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea, with sulphur and al- cohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation improved by the addition of other ingredients, costing about 50 cents a large bottle, at drug stores, known as “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,” thus avoiding a lot of muss. While gray, faded hair is not sin- ful, we all desire to retain our youth- ful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so natur- ally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush®vith it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger. Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet re- quisite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. PAGE THREE ‘Special Map Coupon Bemidji Pioneer Pub. Co. Bemidji, Minn.
