CAPITAL AHAM

PAJAMAS FOR GIRLS

Charming Little Sleeping Garment for Daughter of House.

Not Much Overlooked by Capital Peace Guardians WASHINGTON. Charlie Michael has a friend who lives In an apartment on Sixteenth street. He will not allow the use of his name, but this friend of his is a well-known stenographer who is just crazy about the study of astronomy. He goes up on the roof of

the apartment on clear nights, lies on his back and watches the various solar and planetary systems swimming

about in the universe. He has a lot of pets among the stars, which he treats as if they were fine Japanese fan-tailed goldfish, and when a clpud intervenes 'twixt him and his favorite sun he doesn't like it a bit. He has a star map, which is a contraption with a lot of slides and jig

gers which can be manipulated so that with a proper scientific knowledge of what is going on above and the right twist of the wrist on the map below one can produce a chart showing just where each star and each constellation should be. It is this star map which got him in trouble. In order to see it properly he lias to flash a pocket' electric light upon it as he lies upon the roof. This is what the police objected to. They had been watching him from somo dark point of vantage, and one night when he was communing with his friends in the ether, flashing theSectric light on the star map, two large detectives burst on him. Tliey came right through the roof and growled at him. "How about that Morse you're flashing?" they asked him. "What are you driving at?" "Look here. Don't get rough with us," replied the man of the law. "We been watching you down on the street, and you have been flashing Morse." "Oh, you mean this l.ght-?" "Yes, that light. You been flashing the Morse code." "Oh, you think I am signalling someone?" "Well, you know what I mean. You may be signalling some German, so he can know how to drop bombs on this city from an airplane And with that the star gazer emitted a wild whoop. Somehow he got rid of the detectives.

Crepe De Chine or Any of the Washable Silks or Satins Employed for Undergarments Should Be Used.

Garments of the slip-over-the-head type are great favorites with schoolgirls, whether these garments are intended for indoor or outdoor, dress or negligee wear. The sketch illustrates a wholly charming little sleeping garment, the

Disproving Theory About Borrowed Umbrellas WHEN theory bucks into fact something is liable to crash. And it won't be fact. Consider, say, umbrellas. One night a woman went to the theater in a costume guaranteed not to fade in the wash. Her companion was more

elegantly fussy in silk, and both were adorned with umbrellas. It had stormed earlier in the evening and was raining lightly when the play was over. On the outer edge of an improvidently umbrellaless crowd the person you might call the wash lady noticed a Vere de Verish young woman in rose georgette with a lot of frilly silver on tire waist. Naturally, nobody pastes sympathy on any Lady Clara in the

"Home, James," class, but when a young woman looks out into the downpouring night with the demoralized anguish of one who may be wearing rose and silver on the installment plan So the wash lady offered up her gloria. Not that she was one of those sweet creatures you read about, understand, but simply because, as a matter of conscientious comfort, it is a whole heap better to do the right thing and be stung than to let a chance to help get by. Most everybody feels that way. By the time the two reached Capitol Hill the downpour had become a deluge, and, as black silk calls for all the umbrella it can get, the wash lady had to perforin Atalanta's flying act, from track to house steps. And got as drenched as if she had been floundering in the fountain of youth except for looks, of course. Next morning the umbrella was returned with' a gust of girlish thanks three words misspelled and eleven uncalled-for ejaculations, bless her heart and that was all there was to that, except : A man nice man, at that who chanced to be standing by when the messenger came expressed surprise at the gloria's return. "Ever lend an umbrella and fail to get it back?" "Can't say I ever "did, but you know the old saying." And, as nothing Is too remarkable to happen in this world or the next there is no telling how many grouchy adage makers have had to take their

medicine for writing saws that hinder instead of help. Georgia Ready to Act as Host to Hungry World HE WAS a Georgia gentleman, and his face was thoroughly immersed in a section of watermelon. Upon reappearing he spluttered a few times and then branched out upon the following oratorical expedition : "There is no shortage of food in my home state. No,

sah. I can say with emphasis and accuracy that the state of Georgia has more food in it at this time than in any other moment in the history of the world. If the starving nations of Europe want to come to Georgia and relieve the pinch of hunger, then Georgia will act as host. I have a million watermelons myself, lying loose on my place, and Ave are feeding them to the hogs. It sounds wasteful, but it isn't, sah. It isn't. Watermelons grow in

C.eorgia like grass. For a quarter of a dollar you can buy more watermelons than you can carry oft in a spring wagon. As for corn and beans, we have 'em there In that land of plenty higher than mountains. I reckon the bean crop of Georgi' ' more valuable and more splendiferous than the gold crop of California

ar high prices. There is no sense to it. Here I am i- this portion of watermelon in a red plush hotel, when of Georgia they arrest you for Interfering with traflic when overrun your property and climb out on the road. It is no je to take a cartload of watermelons oft a man's place than

it is to go up to his pump anil get yourself a drink of water. "Garden Truck" Grown on Land Worth Much Money WASHINGTON at the present time probably can boast of the highest priced gardens in the world. To the uninitiated this may sound unreasonable, but it is absolute fact. And the reason lies with the committee in charge of ilu "back-yard" garden movement.

One of the gardens probably the most expensive in the lot is situated on Dupont circle, in the center of the weal tli and culture of the city. At the intersection of Connecticut avenue and Massachusetts avenue, to the north, there is a vacant lot or was a vacant lot where once stood the Chinese legation. It adjoins the property of Senator Clark of Wyoming, the "copper king." Popular report has it that Senator Clark objected to tin old

taffeta bags, the same shape, trimmed with fancy ribbons and gold gimp,

though they often cost no more than the cretonnes.

Bags intended primarily for light knitting and sewing or bandage rolls are in the shape of a red cross or are of red, white and blue ribbon, three of the anus of the cross forming pockets in which things may be carried.

OLD SLEEVES COME BACK

Early Victorian Sleeves, Showing Leg o' Mutton Style, Are Worn in Paris.

In Paris they are wearing many early Victorian sleeves which, show the leg o mutton style. As they are almost always expressed in flimsy materials, the "gigot" effect is not prominent, and the folds of muslin or lace fall away from the arms in a peculiarly becoming fashion. These loose sleeves are always threequarter length, and they are introduced on dresses and picturesque coatees alike. Another fashionable sleeve also a revival is of moyenage persuasion, absolutely tight from elbow to wrist, and finished with a becoming petal cuff which almost hides the hand. These sleeves should be fastened with very small pressure buttons or tiny hooks and eyes on the under seam, in no other way can they be made to

preserve their skin-tight outline.

BLOUSE WITH SQUARE MECK

Pretty Fashion is Rendered Doubly So

in Its Modern Develop-

Pajamas With Slip-Over Coat. pants prettily laced in just above the

ankles with lingerie ribbon in contrasting color, the same finish being ap

plied to the neck of the garment proper and to the sleeves. Crepe de chine or any one of the washable silks or satins employed for undergarments should

be used, and the cord girdle may be

omitted if desired, the garment to hang quite straight and smock-like, or it may be drawn in with ribbon run

through a casing arranged for the pur

pose.

To make these pajamas four and a half yards of material 3G inches wfide

will be required.

If the daughter of the family is to go away to boarding school or college she

should by all means have several pairs

of pajamas included in her outfit, and

she may ask for silk undergarments.

Even the government stands back of the recommendation that women grati

fy their fondness for silken raiment,

economizing on wool and cotton fab

rics sq that the army may by no chance

suffer a shortage Therefore, have the family dress

maker who comes for a week or two

before school begins in the fall make

up some shirting silk or crepe de chine

or washable satin pajamas for the

daughter who is going away to board ing school or college, and let the pa

jama coats be of the slip-over-the-head

variety.

Also make her a slip-over full-length silk kimono. That is quite the newest

note in simple boudoir garments.

The square necked blouse or bodice

is a pretty fashion rendered doubly so

in its modern development, for the square is either deep enough to allow

of the whole thing slipping over the

head (cotta-fashion) or else is provided with a clipped fastening just at

the neck on the shoulder to permit or

this easy means of entrance. A par

ticularly pretty example of the latest

square-necked blouse provides for the

material to be gathered to the edge by a square yoke, and looks equally

charming in crepe de chine, muslin,

Japanese silk or any of the materials now in vogue.

Noticeable Feature of the Gowns Cast in the Mode of Tomorrow.

It is always rather dangerous to indulge in forecasts where fashion is concerned, but if coining modes cast their shadows correctly, the slender silhouette to which after a brief flirtation with tublike outlines women returned with one accord will still be with us long after summer has been left behind. More than that, if the few advance models already on the scenes are any criterion, we shall soon be called upon to suffer far closer embraces from our skirts for the sake of fashion, and a tendency to draped effects is another noticeable feature nhout gowns cast in the mode of tomorrow.

When good little misses dream they must dream of chic little coats and hats like this. For what wish could be closer to a little girl's heart than a desire for such attire. With a wish like that fulfilled, why even Cinderella and her good fairy god-mother's magic wand fade into insignificance for what little girl wouldn't have this little dress rather than a disappearing coach.

Some are even ready to donate bags to the cause. The .omnipresent bags are made of fine cretonne, of which so many wonderful and suitable designs are now to be had. They are trimmed with gold gimp and the handles are of colored or gilt cord. They are lined with plain sateen. Then there are very lovely

Little Change in Fur Coats. Those who have their fur coats brought up to date every summer will be glad to know there is not too much change in the styles. These fur coats are almost full length. They measure about three yards at the hem. They all have some kind of a belt or narrow strap sash to hold in the fullness losely about the waist. The collars are large, standing up high about the neck, then rolling over the shoulder depth In sailor, pelerine or shawl shape. They do not seem to have any of the loose "chin-chin" collar look:

An Illuminating Postcard. A young girl of plebeian ancestry achieved fame as an actress in London. Feeling the necessity, however, of a rest from her labors, she wrote to her uncle, a police sergeant of a country village, asking him if she might come and stay with him to recuperate. She ended her note : "Please send a P. C. to say if I may come." A few days later her landlady rushed upstairs with an awestricken countenance a policeman wanted her I The girl descended with an ominous feeling at her heart, says London Tit-Bits.

OFF WITH FINGERS

:

How to loosen a tender corn or callus so it lifts out without pain. I

Let folks step on your feet hereafter ; wear shoes a size smaller if you like, for corns will never again send electric sparks of pain through you, according

to this Cincinnati authority. He says that a few drops of a drug called freezone, applied directly upon a tender, aching corn, instantly relieves soreness, and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out.

This drug dries at once and simply

shrivels up the corn or callus without even irritating the surrounding skin. A small bottle of freezone obtained at any drug store will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. If your druggist hasn't stocked this new drug yet, tell him to get a small bottle of freezone for you from his wholesale drug house. adv. Soldiers and Officers. The lieutenant was testing the squad in visional power. "Tell me, No. 1," he said, "how many men are in the trench digging party over there?" "Thirty men and one officer," was rhe reply.

Women Drive War Automobiles. Between 150 and 200 women sooi

The Club Feminla Automobile was the center of this group, and it had secured the signatures of several hundred of the thousand women in Paris who hold licenses to drive motor cars. The passive resistance of the different war bureaus held them back until now. The women are obliged to enlist for three months and to agree to submit scrupulously to military rules and discipline. They will in the beginning replace motor ambulance drivers in the foreign sanitary sections who are transferred to other services. Later on they may replace men in oilier automobile sections. '
