Separate petticoats of erinoline are sometimes | worn underneath the dross skirt Special featurss of the new akirts are overskirt draperies, flounces and band trimmings. Most of the fullnegs fs massed at the sider over the hips, and there are some skirts with fullneas every where.

Snug-fitting collars, wrinkled and very high, are used on dresses.. Bias bands of sllk, boned and ornamented with bows and loop ends of the same material, are seen. Simple, high-standing turnover collars are made of stiffened tulle or mousseline de sole, or a sort of starched crepe lisse. Other high collars stand away from the neck in a stiff, straight Iine. ome button stralght down the| front in a continuous Iine with tha bodice. Shoulder capes, sleeve oape and clreular- cut flounces are posed on sleeves and shoulders of the new sult coats. Capes also appear on separate coats. Milliner: are also making tiny shoulder capes as| matching neckpleces for apring hats. As a rule, suit coats are short with a ratsed walst line, or they are in bolero form, sometimes falling over a vest with a basque. Basques are very full, springing out well from the hips. The Itne of the Jacket at the lower edge is a gentle slope from the front toward the back. Almost all hair dressing is high, with very little variation in the arrangement. The hair Is pulled back from the face, drawn loosely over a transformation and twiated into a French knot, or loose puff, running from the top of the head to the nape of the neck. The line at the back of the head is generally smooth. Fre- quently the entire shape of the head is revealed, without coll or twist of any description, |A [ No. 15--Women | By ANITA STEWART. They say that every woman in the world ‘\nlnlu‘n she were a man. No doubt thia is | true, ause this Is & man's wor'd, and ything that Is best and most desir | able in it goes to men But as long we are girls, and not boys, let's play the game of life from the feminine standpoint, for, In my opin fon, no girl ever makes so big & mistake | a8 the one who triea to make an imitation man of herself. You know the type 1| mean—the girls | who go swaggering around with their hands In thelr pockots, dressed in tailor made clothes as near like thelr brothers As they can get them, who smoke clgar ottes in public places, who scorn to pow der their noses, who tell off-colored stories, and swear and make you blush for your sex when you look at them, For Iit's a funny thing that when a woman trie to act like & man ehe never acts like a gentleman. The Imitation man-girl Is never a suc- cens soclally Other girls don't llke her because she affects not to be interested In any of the things they llke. Hostesses don’t like her because they don't know what to do with her. She doesn't fit in | anywhere becausé sho's neither fish, nor flesh, nor good red herring. And men don't like her heeause no man wants to make love to a mirl who looks like an | understudy of his kid brother, | 'Thereofer, I am very sure, girls, that | we succeed hest when we capitalize our femininity, and do women's work In a woman's way. If you will look about you At the women who have made money and nameés for themselves, you will see that almost every one of them has been following some distinctly feminine oceu pation, and that ghe dresses like a lady and does her work in a ladylike manner, In reality it Is this feminine touch that makes & woman's work valuable, and she throws her best asset away when she tries to do things like a man, It's be- cause women know what other women want that makes them valuable as buy- ere In dry goods stores. It's because any little girl reporter knows Intultively more about why a woman aots In a certain way than all the ‘men paychologists could figure out in forty years that women are emploved in newspapers.

Tt doesn’t do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only way to get rid 7 dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely, To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon: apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the sealp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most it not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis- solve and’ entirely destroy every single algn and trace of it You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better.
