A Modern Disease.

Old Jake woke up and rubbed his eyes as he gazed on the unfamiliar room. Then he remembered, and hopped out of bed. Fifteen years had he saved out of the meager wages given him -by a grateful farmer, in order to visit London. "Uncle,” came his young nephew’s voice at the keyhole, "mother says’ll you come and set these marrer seeds, and see what you can "do with the old black ton what’s got a bad leg?” Uncle and nephew soon entered the little back garden, when the old boy stopped short with amaze’ment, and adjusted his glasses to gaze at the small figure on the grass plot, who was performing gymnastic feats. "Does thy sister have fits, lad?” he asked, with concern. "No, uncle,” replied the nipper with . a grin, "them’s gymnastic feats.” "I’m sorry ’bout that,” quoth the old chap. “’As she 'ad ’em long?” Answers. -

Expenses Cut Down.

"We must admit that the cost of living is rather high,” said the campaign adviser. "Well,” replied Senator Sorghum, "we must do something with the money.' We can’t buy votes with it any more.” —Washington Star.

Canada Using Cotton-Seed Oil.

Because of the war Canada is already in need of drugs and chemicals. Scarcity of olive oil has led to the use of American cotton-seed, oil as a substitute.

GIVES TOO WIDE LINE

NEW BKIRT NOT PLEABINQ TO THE LARGE WOMAN. Accentuates Size, and Is Hard to Handle Property—Chemise-Like Bodice la to Continue in Fashion, It Appears.

No other style has teen invented that could make the large woman- appear so large as the new skirts with their plainly drawn back, their widely flaring circular sides and front, or sometimes a plaited front dividing the circular sides. You can qutekty see what a wide line is given across the figure, back and front. The front is able to stand it better than the back.'

Another error* that is easily fallen into, is a swinging upward movement of the middle front of such & .skirt. This ugliness happens even under the hands of the best regulated dressmakera'.' The weight and fullness of the material causes this sagging at the sides and back and, although one does not object to an irregular hem, it must come through foreknowledge and not through bad workmanship.

None of the dressmakers advocate fullness over the hips. Here and there one sees isolated cases of hip drapery, but the newest fashions do not call for it. In all the test gowns for street and evening, the hips are flattened out

The green serge skirt of the frock Illustrated makes its claim to newness by reason of the group of width-giving tucks at the side, and the black-braid-ed velvet tunio by its absence of a waist line.

' ■ V-.\T as though they had been pressed with a hot iron. This is to accentuate the fullness at knees and hem. There are various ways of obtaining the desired flatness. It is not all a question of hip yokes. There are box plaits running from waist, to hem; there are tofig pointed segments of cloth that Fun nearly to knees which divide the fullness and keep it away from the hips; there are plastered bits of barbaric embroidery from which

IN THE LINE OF ECONOMY

Matter Should Be Handled in a Systematic Way After Being Given Much Consideration. When one has to spend a greatly diminished <}ress allowance to the very best advantage, as a great many women have to do this year, the chief economies must be effected by limiting the number of gowns, wraps and hats, and of the oddments on which we often fritter away so many dollars in the course of a season. The few garments bought should be of as good style and quality as possible, while the principal expenditure should be in such things as corsets, underwear, footgear and gloves, which are of equal importance for health and for appearance. If these be irreproachable one will look “well turned out” in the simplest gown, provided it is trim and tidy, of good quality and becoming in color and cut. The great fault of the average woman, as a rule, is that she expends too little, In proportion, on those first necessaries—corsets especially—hence she often appears dowdy even when expensively attired.

SKIRTS SURE TO BE WIDER

Change Is Being Made Gradually But It Is Noticeable in All the Newest Models. The most noticeable feature of the ever-changing fashions is the gradual widening of skirts. There are suits made with full circular skirts set on a dpep Joke. Other styles are in tiered designs, with three circular.

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

Suit for Early Fall.

Model of gray broadcloth effectively trimmed with nickel buttons. A new feature of this suit is the long tunic.

spring circular sides that flare at the hem. Each of tho French dressmakers has a different way of maintaining smoothness just below the waist, and to these original methods the Americans have added. of the fashions that France introduced last June is the foundation stone of all the clothes of today. This is the long, straight upper part of the gown which sometimes develops into a tunic, or which ends at the wide sash placed over the hips. « There is nothing strikingly new about this chemise-like bodice, for It has been worn continuously for three months, but the dressmakers exploited it in the new clothes and we shall doubtless wear it until Christmas. If anything newer is invented, it will probably come from an American atelier, for there is no reason to suppose that France will produce new ideas in the nearby months; there are quite enough over here now to satisfy even the most exacting woman. It is probable that this long, childlike garment—for it really is juvenile —which has slim simplicity as its foundation, and is called Moyen-age for want of a better term, will prove an obstacle to a good appearance as much as the over full skirts will do, but if care is taken with it, and attention paid to the. way it is cut and trimmed, the general result will not be as bad as prophesied. One sees the garment in every fabric, and it will be unfortunate K one sees it on every figure. It, like all the fashions for the last four years, is primarilybintended for the modern figure that has been developed through fashion, or the other way around —no one knows which.

To Keep the Hat Dustless.

A traveling Jiat bag costs five dollars. It is made of waterproof cloth on a collapsible frame, that, when open, is strong and big enough to protect the largest hat and, when, closed, is small and light enough to be almost unnoticeable in the bottom of the trunk. It comes in navy blue and black.

flounces. Some plain suits with long coats have plaited panels .introduced to give fullness. A few skirts are gathered and set on deep yokes. Many dressy afternoon" gowns have a flounced or plaited skirt. On the newest models, even when the extremely long tunic is employed, the underskirt Is sufficiently wide to give ease in walking. In evening gowns the skirt fullness is quite marked, the aide sections being rippled sufficiently to allow of a broader train than has been seen for several seasons. The skirts of all garments are extremely short, except in the case of a few evening gowns, which have the skirt very short in front only, with a gradual tapering off to a point in the back, where the skirt is long enough to touch the floor.

White-Frock for Winter.

The mother who likes to keep, her young daughter in white the year round, selects frocks of heavy linen, ratine and similar tub fabrics for cold weather wear. A frock of white rat* lne has a collar and belt motif embroidered by hand with blue cotton. The waist fastens with white crochet buttons and loops and the belt with snap fasteners so that the little gill may get Into and out of her frock without aid from anybody.

Black Moire Bags.

Black moire bags, which held the public favor all spring, are more Intrenched than ever. Often this year they form the playground for two different kinds of silk, as witness one . model to whose lower section of black moire there was contrasted a top of sliver-figured brocade. ' *
