OUTFIT FOR BRIDE

Ivory White Satin Remains the Favored Material

CAPE CUT ON NOVEL LINES

Lace Is Afin Fashionable and Often Family Heirlooms Are Used The Going-Away Gown.

Though no one begrudges the bride

of this vear her traditional bridal'

panoply of ivory satin, lace and tulle, It is not expected of her to provide an elaborate and expensive trousseau of handsome evening gowns and stunning afternoon costumes, states a fashion writer. The sentiment of the times Is against display in dross, and this year's dearth of formal entertainments, of the usual sequence of balls and dinners and house parties precludes the necessity of a large supply of costly clothes for anybody even

for the bride who is supposed to en

joy a special program of gaieties in

the first months of her married life.

TTonovmoons are belnir cut short

this year as a rule the bridegroom,

after a brief furlough for his weddin

and the ensuing trip of a week or

ten days, goes back to his regiment or

to his ship and the bride settles down

quietly with her home people or near

them and though she goes out for-

mnllv. has naturally not much heart

for formal affairs.

The wedding day costume, however,

is another matter. It would be an un-

Tint-uml bride who did not claim her

full privilege of bridal panoply, per

haps claim it the more determinedly

because robbed of other privileges of

brides in normal times. A woman can be a bride but once, and even in wartime she wants to wear the trailing white satin, the pearls, the orange blossoms and the symbolic veil which may be hers on this one great occasion and this one only of all her life. Many a beautiful wedding gown has been worn this year and the summer wedding gowns promise to be no less beautiful than those of midwinter. Ivory white satin, the traditional "bride" satin, Is the favored material for the wedding gown and though the spring models keep to the slender silhouette now insisted upon by fashion, there are many lovely ways of breaking the straight, slim lines with soft draperies and panels of airy fabric. Lace is again fashionable on the bridal gown and some are trimmed with rare old point and Venice laces have come down as family heirlooms. Of the newer laces, shadow lace is the favorite, because of its delicate texture and lovely draping qualities. Embroidered chiffon is used also, and pearl embroidered cniffon is specially distinguished. Every bride nowadays seems to seek some individual and original veil arrangement and many are the interesting caps and coronets of lace or tulle from which the veil falls at the back to the end of the train. The Russian cap, rising to a peak at the front, has been used, and various sorts of peas

ant cap, modified or exaggerated in line and carried out in lace, tulle or

silver tissue. The veil now covers, or

almost covers, the hair as a modern hat does and is no longer poised or perched high on the head, caught by a puff of tulle or a cluster of orange blossoms. Second only In importance to the bridal gown is the smart costume in which the bride bids farewell to her friends and starts away to begin her married life. The going-away gown, as it Is always called, is less often a gown, than a tailored suit of formal and elaborate type; sometimes it is a gown covered by a very smart topcoat when the bride starts her wedding trip in a motorcar. This practical costume will most likely, this

superintendent of the research department of the board of public welfare Ford made his observations from 150

cripples, most of them found north of Ninth street Of these, 70 were selfsupporting, 14 partly so, 52 were beggars and others were cared for by charity. Eighty were legal residents of Jackson county, 10 of Wyandotte county and 40 had no permanent residence. About 72 per cent of the men disabled were under thirty years old and self-supporting; 75 j)er cent of those disabled after forty years of

age were not self-supporting. The

study shows that the beggars who infest the streets and claim they are too

badly crippled tc work are entirely self-supporting. The success of the cripple

in supporting himself depends a great deal on his attitude of mind. The use

Of alcohol is a big factor, 80 per cent of the begging cripples being addicted

to liquor, whereas 09 per cent of the self-supporting disabled men do not use

liquor.

A peculiar sort of "cripples' philosophy" along the line, that the worm

owes them a living, is generally the reason why a crippled man takes up

begging as a livelihood. It is often quite remunerative. One young beggar

with a leg ofl: below the knee was offered a place by a merchant at $0 a week

with a promise of $15 after six months. The cripple told the merchant that

he could not consider the offer as he made more than .$15 a week in less than two hours "work" each day.

Disabled people are especially handicapped, Mr. Ford says, if they have no

home or relatives. Only oO per cent ot the untortunate men mciuuea m ins

survey live with relatives and have any sort of home in the true sense. The

balance of them live in cheap lodging houses among questionable surroundings.

"It would be much better for the cripples and the public if every cripple

could have personal attention in solving his problems rather than to receive doles from passersby on the streets," said Mr. Ford.

During the past year there has been a irrpfitpr demnnrl for farm lands in

Western Canada than for a number of years past. The demand Is for good farm lands Improved or unimproved. And at an increase of from ten to fifteen dollars an acre more than the same lands could be had for a couple of years ago. The rise in The price of every kind of produce grown on these Western lands, in some cases to double and In others to treble the price prevailing before 1914, have attracted and are attracting in ever-increasing proportions the men who are anxious to invest their money, and apply their energies in the production- of wheat for which the allied nations are calling with voices which grow louder and more anxious ns the months roll on, and the end of the war still seems distant. Beef, and more especially bacon, are required in ever greater quantities, and the price of all these things has soared, until it is not a question of

what shall we produce, but how rauch can we produce. Even should this world calamity be brought to a close in six months from now, it will be years before normal pre-war prices prevail, and meantime self-interest if not patriotism is turning the minds of thousands back to the land. The inevitable consquence has been the rise in values of land, especially wheat land.

DETROIT. The conductor on a street car oounu lor tne ranroau uepot watched a small man, apparently from a rural district, struggle valiantly

aboard with a heavy suitcase. The new passenger paid his farq. The crowd

moved forward, forcing him to push his suitcase under the conductor's guard rail. A kind-hearted individual, seeing the little man fight his way back through the crowd, anticipated his object and reached for the handle of the suitcase But the owner seized it first. His apparent discourtesy caused him little discomfort. "Booze," the conductor said. "Bet a nickel he gets off at the Union station." He did. Also the kind-hearted in-

Bridget was before the magistrate upon the charge of beating her husband, who stood near the desk with his head bound up In a mass of bandages and surrounded by an odoroui cloud of Iodine, Indicating that he had undergone extensive treatment at the

hospital. The magistrate called the

wife to the bar of justice.

"Now, madam," he said, "can you explain to me why you struck your husband over the head with the

poker?"

Bridget laid her hand on the bar and leaning far over so she could Impress her answer upon the attentive officer of the law, replied: "Shure, I hit him with the poker, your honor, because at that moment I couldn't lay my hands on the broomstick that I most generally uses."

Houe of Lords Dies Hard. It is now about 'sixty years since Thoraas Babington Macaulay wrote again and again that the house of lords seemed to be on its last legs. He used a longer and more dignified phrase, but that is its substance when translated into the vernacular. Apparently his conviction then was ai strong as that of any of those who now hope for the abolition of tho lords. To be sure, the circumstances have changed greatly, but the lords die so hard that this little historiacl reminiscence is not without its value now that the same cry Is heard again and when some think the consummation near at hand..

mixed farming properties, and even good grazing land has risen in the last two years 40 per cent. Wheat lands in some districts have practically doubled in price. One dealer in farm lands recently sold three sections for $70 an acre, one extra good quarter went as high as $90, and another brought $100. These are, of course, large prices, but that they will be equaled or even surpassed in the near future is beyond question.

ranged.

To begin with, they are made in the

form of a double bias strip, from six

to eight inches wide, and perhaps a yard or a yard and a quarter long.

They are the simplest things in the

world to make, l;or the double width of fabric is just sewed up, like an envelope, Jhen turned right side out, tho

end left open is blind stitched shut, and the whole thing is pressed.

But in spite of the fact that these

new collars are so easy to make, they

are well worth buying ready made, for

they are sold in the shops reasonably in the most attractive fabrics.

These new collars may be worn in

many ways, ut course tne most usuai way is to bring it around the neck,

rolled over softly and tie it in a four-in-hand or loose knot at the end of the Y-shaped line of the blouse in front. In this way these collars are worn on frocks of serge and foulard. Sometimes, too, the ends are tied like a Windsor tie in a bow, with two loops and two ends. Sometimes a little bias fold of net is stitched along one side of the center of the collar, and by means of this net the collar is basted into position. Otherwise it is best to pin it securely at the back with a 'little silver cufi pin. These collars are made in satin, or

gandie, georgette crepe, erepe de chine 1

and chiffon. They are made in every color Imaginable, as well as in white; and they are even made in little checks. Some of them in foulard show all sorts of designs, although the best foulard ones are dotted. Then there are others of black and white checks, in a rather big design, but one that is very effective, neverthless, either with a white or black or navy blue frock.

Mrs. Isabel Dowie was on her way to a hospital. During the journey Mrs. Dowie suddenly became ill. Her husband, attending her, whispered something to the conductor.

She Gave Unruly Youngsters Lesson They Needed NEW XORK. She was a really womanly sort of woman, even if she was in charge of the front car of a Sea Beach express of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company. She was neither fair nor fat, but surely forty, and when six very young men in knickerbockers

roistered into her car and noisily seized seats enough for a dozen passengers she looked on with motherly disapproval. Out of the tail of her eye she watched their antics as they threw each other's caps about and disported themselves like young ruffians that had been better bred. When the woman conductor called out for all passengers "please" to

have their- tickets ready as the train approached Fifty-ninth street, the biggest boy gathered the tickets of his mates and, folding each into a spile, tucked them into the band of his cap in imitation of an Indian's feathered headdress. The woman ignored the hilarity and demanded the tickets. The toy was grinningly disobedient and compelled her to lift the slips one at a time, and unfold them. As she got the last ticket smoothed her indignation overcame her discretion, and she gave the boy a box on the ear that spoiled his good humor, and as he ducked his head his other ear tempted her gloved hand. For an instant the other boys were gleeful over their leader's discomfiture, but the motherly conductor was roused, and not till the train slowed up for the Fifty-ninth street station and doors demanded her attention did she quit her boxing exercise.
