Brightness of Color Scheme and Oddity of Line Are Features That Score. By Ruth Snyder. ENT the new blouse: Blouses are becoming more and more shapeless—and more and more informal. The very loose, long-waisted effects in blouses seem to be in for a long run, Girls who have complained about not feeling comfortable in the blouses which have heretofore been in fashion will rejoice in the comfortable feeling which these loose, kimono-like blouses give. Another practically new note in the first display of Fall bloudes is the tendancy to the more bizarre type of blouse. Printed fabrics are all the vogue. Huge patterns of bright colors are popular, Printed crepes and chif- fons are shosen in the brightest of patterns, and sometimes a most startling effect is given. If a plain colored fabric is chosen, color und style are added by embel- lishment in worsted of some unique or odd design. The HUlustration here- with shows a blouse with the newest sort of embroidery. This, of course, is a very striking example of this style of blouse. If a less ornate design is wanted it is up to the wearer to either embroider it herself or buy the blouse already embroidered. Batik Louses are also in favor. Girls who favor this sort of work will find samples ad infinitum in the Greenwich Village shops, where vil- lagers are only too glad to display their handiwork. Russian blouses seem to be all the more in demand. These gayly bizarre blouses ful naturally in line with the tendency of the times toward the mor@ brightly colored and the more deco- rative in every line of wearing apparel. But ‘his fact does not altogether pregluce the simpler blouses. Plain white aud plain black overblouses have BLOUSES ARE BECOMING CONTINUALLY MORE INFORMAL AND DECIDEDLY MORE SHAPELESS. not lost their share of popularity. The long white and black blouses, to be worn with slip-overs, are still being called for, and some of the newer models are yery pretty.

KIRTS are of the utmost impor- tance ta every woman's ward- robe and in order to know what method to use in making them. over, the first thing to be taken into con- sideration is the texture of the mate- rial. Now that the skirts are being worn longer, a great many people will find it necesary to lengthen the skirts they have been wearing. It is a simple matter to lengthen a skirt with a big hem by letting it down, but if the skirt has no hem, it is a more difficult task. For lengthening a silk skirt or any skirt of light texture, a circular yoke, any width, may be attached to the top of the skirt. In order to do this the inside belt will have to be re- moved and sewn to the top of the yoke. The top of the skirt can then be joined to the lower part of the yoke on the wrong side. Another way to lengthen a skirt of this sort would be to insert the same or corresponding material a little above the hem, You can have hem- stitching done for a few cents a yard and, to avoid a patchy appearance and insure a good finish, it would be well to have it hemstitched on both sides of the insertion. Skirts of heavier material can be lengthened by adding material of the same weight to the lower edge. straight lined, tight skirt ten inches of material in a large check design would be very attractive. ‘This would b Particularly good for the fringed which cannot be lengthened in other way. If a skirt is too tight, material the same length as the skirt can be serted on each side, To do th inside belt will have to be taken of and the seams ripped and the m to be inserted sewn to the hack front of the skirt at both skirt may then be shirred to ti belt, but if the old belt is a tight the added material will fullness when attached to the prog size belt.

He has trained them to bring all the flsh back to him, All he has to do ts to punt along until he finds a place where the fish are run- ning good; the cormorants do the rest, and at the end of the day he has a fine catch to take to market. “How does he train them?" Jamie's question. “He puts rings around their necks so they can't swallow the fish. They catch the fish; try to swallow it and, finding that they can’t, bring it back to the boat where the fisherman takes it away from them." “But those bird’ have no rings on their neeks,"’ Alice protested, “No, they are old fellows. By and by they get used to not eating the fish that they catch; then the fisher- man takes the ring off."’ “I never can remember the name of this river," said Alice. ‘*Will you tell it to me again, Sir Pirate?’* ‘angtze,"’ sald the Pirate. ‘Yang- tze is Chino for “Child of the Ocean,’ ‘1 guess they call {t that because it is such a big river,” ventured Jamie. “That's the reason, all right,’’ con- was Why | Like the Kiddie Klub. My love for the Kiddie Klub will continue because of its interest in the welfare of the children of this country and many others. Also it finds tho talent of many children and some- times determines their life work. It is an ofganization foy the de- velopment of the children and oldor boys and girls, giving something to occupy their minds and something to cherish and love as a friend and bene- factor, ‘This notable children’s club brings together, more and more of the chil- dren of the fdreign countries witl those of our own beloved country. both by correspondence and the bond of unity and love. It purifies a child's mind to love his little friends and cousins and in later yeara to look back upon the progressive and pleas- ant hours spent in work for their own good.
