WOMA N’S PAGE. SEEN IN THE WASHINGTON SHOPS BY ELENORE DE WITT EBY. HOSE who have not carefully observed the gradual change in fashions during the past month or so will be surprised when they go on a shopping expedi- tion to find that the walstline has almost entirely disappeared. It may be suggested by a bow, a plaque or- nament or a spray of flowers, but rarely does it really exist. Many of the newest and smartest gowns are made exactly like kimonos and wrap around to one side, where a bow or snap serves as fastening. Sometimes @ few soft folds are deftly introduced at the front, giving the effect of a crushed girdle, but the back usually falls in a severely straight panel without a wrinkle on its surface. There are many variations of the Afternoon frock of golden brown satin and lace velling. new mode to choose from if mi objects to such extreme simplicit line as the kimono models give. One that is featured widely for afternoon and evening wear is the jumper mod- el. There is always a plain founda- tion slip, sometimes veiled with metal lace or embroidered net and over thl a jumper of contrasting material. The overpiece may end just below the hipline or extend to within a few inches of the skirt hem, and it ma be sleeveless or include diminutive caps, but it is always girdleless and of a different fabric from the foun- dation. One model seen had a narrow skirt of colorful brocaded metal cloth al- luringly veiled by a gathered flounce of sparkling gold lace. The jumpe hodice, which extended to the hips, was of silver cloth and had a bateau neckline and wide shoulder straps. but no sleeves. A band of inky black fox bordered the hem of the jumper, forming an effective border line be- tween the pale silver cloth and the gleaming gold 1 2 Another similar gown revealed a foundation skirt of dark brown chif- fon velvet and a jumper bodice of metal cloth embroidered in weird pat- terns of exotic coloring. Every tone of the rainbow, intensified, seemed to be included and the background, which flashed forth illusively here and there, was of bright gold. Brown fur, matching the velvet of the skirt, banded the hem of the overgarment and also bordered the tiny kimono sleeve: The chapeau sketched would be a perfect complement to either of the above described creations. It is tur- ban shaped, but a narrow rolled edze shadows the e to give just a sug- gestion of a brim. Cloth of gold forms the lower part of the crown and drapes into a few light folds. which bring added brilliance to t shining metal surface. Gold 1 pears at the top of the crown, milady's coiffure may be visible un- der the bright meshwork. Two saucy | little wings of lace, edged with gold {in Chic little turban of gold cloth Ince. ribbon, are poised at each side to add ¢ touch of trimming. The afternoon frock pictured is of golden brown satin and embroidered net veiling of the same tone. The bodice is cut with wide shoulder straps, and the neck line between is rounded into scallops, both front and back. Insets of the filmy net form narrow yokes from shoulder to shoul- der, and dainty little puffs of net give the illusion of tiny sleeves. The low ed edge of the bodice extends well be- low the hips, where a bolster roll of satin forms a border, slanting up at one side and down at the other, sug- gesting a waist line that has siipped an oblique line from its natural place. A flounce of lace veiling falls from the bolster edging, half co cealing and half revealing an unde: slip of pleated taffeta. A large chou of shaded taffeta and satin ribbon is poised over one hip to add the finish- ing touch to the gown. Another afternoon model s of deep brown velvet with contrasting sleeves of beige crepe. The velvet is fash- ioned into an astonishingly simple slip, without a waist line or a sug- sestion of one, and with a plain, un- trimmed bateau neck. The sleeves follow bishop lines. and their volumi- nous folds are held in at the wrists with tight little cuffs of self-material. An elaborate pattern, worked in cop Der beads, appears on the delicat beige surface, giving a touch of rich- ness, which is especially effective in comBination with the dark velvet of the gown.

SCOTCH ELM~—ULMUS There are about eighteen recorded species of elms in the world distrib- uted over the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. There are eight species in North and Central America, though none west of the Rocky mountains. One Asiatjc specles is a shrub; all the others are trees, excellent ornamentals .grown chiefly for their follage and shade and often used as street trees. They are long- lived trees, and their wood is of high commercial value. It is heavy, hard and tough, and is much used in the manufacture of wagon wheels, agri- cultural implements and for boat building. The Chinese grind up the inner bark of some of their elms and use it for fopd. The fiber of the bark ®f auvther Chingse elm is sometimes A. EMMONS. GLABRA. woven into a coarse fabric. The inner bark of our own slippery elm is sup- posed to have a medicinal value, The Scotch elm or wych elm, as its name would imply, 1s a native of Eu- rope, a fine large tree, reaching a height of 120 feet with epreadin, branches forming a symmetrical, round-topped head. It is a somewhat varfable -species, with a number of varieties. The bark is dark gray and remains smooth for many yea be- fore becoming roughened with small ridges. The leaves are three to six inchees long, on very shért stems, un- equal at the base, egg-shaped with the larger part near the apex, abrupt- ly sharp pointed or sometimes three- lobed at the apex, doubly serrate, deep _green, rough above, pubescent be- neath’ and, like the foliage of many other European trees, hanging on late into the fall after nearly all our native trees are hare.

MOTHERS) write name and AND THEIR CHILDREN A Motive in Saving. One mother says: “Saving a few pennies and putting them into the bank regularly does not mean that the habit of thrift is being inculcated in a child. He feels a sense of deprivation. My children have a small allowance, and when they want something definite, such as a new foot ball, very badly, they save for it, spending their money wisely, and deliberately planning to go with- out some things so that they may gain the object desired. This plan- ning is real saving, which having a bank into which they must put pen- nies handed them by father or grand- father is not. (Copyright, 1923.) Cranberry Salad.

So it happened that early one morning they were surprised by the aviator and Farmer Brown's Boy. Danny and Nanny had been out most of the night and were asleep in their nest in that tiny cupboard, so that they did not hear the approach of their visitors. They were awakened by voices.
