Every hiker knows the satisfaction of being suitably outfitted in practical khaki togs which are proof against wind, ruin, weather and bramble. However, Just because a khaki suit Is practical does not mean that style and attractive appearance must be sacrificed. No Indeed! The picture herewith Is a direct contradiction to any such Inference.

PROMOTING GOOD WILL THE many good souls of both sexes, who with more or less solicitude have been considering the ill-nature of old Mother Earth, have reached the conclusion that her offspring are sadly in need of a spiritual elixir. Looking at our case of irritability seriously, it is found that we have forgotten our good manners and the pleasant art of promoting good will. In the struggle for existence and especially as we get older and more cranky, we seem to move about in our professions and avocations in a state of mind that borders on enmity toward all mankind. We may be able to number an infinite of acquaintances, but not find one among them upon whom we can look as a friend. We seem to be in an ugly mood, ready at the drop of a thoughtless word to open battle and fly at one another with clinched fists. Our tempers are on edge in our homes, on the streets and in our offices. We are churlish, selfish and childish, having lost the polish of manners and charming courtesies of our smilingfaced grandparents. Our Inordinate ambitions and wandering fancies keep up continually in turmoil, while tn our Innermost souls, we are longing fcr contentment, a quiet nook where we may smoke, read, reflect, or at least find good fellowship. When away from the treadmill we rail at the fates, drop our good neighbors on the gridiron, scold our servants' wage wordy wars with our wives and husbands, and work our-

Essential Frocks for Short Visits

It is just as awkward, for the short trip, to carry along a too voluminous outfit as it is to omit certain essential frocks —and it's a whole lot. more uncomfortable, observes a faishlon correspondent in the New York HeraldTribune. The primary function of the Friday-to-Monday visit is pleasure and, while the carefree male may choose his clothes with comparative abandon, the fait traveler must select with care and discrimination in order that her pleasure may be unalloyed. The minimum requirements for the typical end-of-the-week visit are an evening dress—either formal or informal, depending on the occasion—a dress or alpaca suit for morning wear, an afternoon frock, a long coat suitable for the journey as well as for cool evenings, and two pairs of slippers, one for evening and one for afternoon wear. A single hat should meet all the

White Silk Dress That Will Serve for General Morning Wear. emergencies of the short visit. The afternoon dress and coat may be worn en route, leaving only two frocks to be carried in the bag—the evening dress and the morning costume. In the event that the coat is not adapted to formal evening wear a Spanish shawl, light and occupying very little space, will lend a distinctive touch to the robe de soir. The .guiding principle for the woman who expects to spend her summer week-ends In divers places is' conservatism, and she should adhere religiously thereto for the very potent reason that a wardrobe which may strike just the proper note in one community may be severely frowned upon in another. One need not be supersensitive to biush for the lady who steps forth in all her grandeur only to discover tiiat her hostess and friends have decreed informal dress for that particular occasion. And, conversely, the informally dressed visitor will spend most of her time in seclusion If she Journeys to a place where absolute formality rigidly reigns. Indeed, even if the summer visits are to be confined to communities of known tendencies, It

Kid Evening Slippers

Kid evening slippers of gold and surer usher in ornate decoration in the way of precious gems, and brilliants. Heels and toe straps of kid shoes seen on smartly dressed Parisiennes are heavily incrusted with real diamonds and other precious stones or less expensive brilliants. Buckles and bright ornaments flash from the toes of kid slippers, and g<Md spangles decorate odd places on the evening shoes. For afternoon wear chocolate-col-ored leather with bronze and antique gold trimmings is most popular. This type of leather Is developed in two or three shades, which makes It possible to bring the shoe Into harmony with every dress of beige tone. Bronze kid slippers are also being sponsored by the principal Parisian bootmakers. The bizarre we have always had with us—and it has been as distinctly shunned by the modish woman as it has been eagerly welcomed by her sartorially sensational opposite. Yet there comes a time In the history of fashion when even Its most baric princip’«ts musk be momentarily discarded, ar d it is daily becoming

Browns and Reds Take On Much Softer Tone

Not only In the printed silks, velvets and tinsels, are gorgeous colorings found, but in the plain fabrics an enormous variety Is provided. It is not uncommon to have 75 to 100 shades for each fabric, and in one new material the number of shades and colors reaches 134. 75 per cent of which are said to be new colors. Since every up-to-date color must have name suitable not only to the color, but to the feeling it expresses, the christening of a color tine Involves considerable ingenuity. Among the fashionable colors which will be In the public eye, and on the public lips this fail, are Citrine, a lemon yellow;- Titian Sand, a reddish beige;

Is wiser to be only a follower in the ranks of fashion. » Interesting Borderline Dress. A borderline dress from Worth—a frock which will serve either as an afternoon dress or for the semi-formal summer dance—is interesting. This model shows an interesting variation of the plait, which, incidentally, is one of the outstanding notes in summer fashions. The dress is plaited In sections closely massed and with plain strips of equal width. The plaited section is entirely separate from the foundation, which is narrow, closefitting and slightly revealed at the sides. A round yoke, ending in a long scurf, is knotted at the right shoulder and makes an attractive neck finish. The waistline is unusually low and is marked by a belt made from petals of suede leather. If you contemplate making this dress at home, it is important to remember that the plaits, although fine, must be deeply laid in order that they remain in place. For morning wear, whether it he on court or beach, or for the country stroll, a Premet model is equally appropriate. It is a tailored dress of white crepe and limits the plaited note to a box-plaited fullness which appears at the front only. The idea of front fullness and back flatness is emphasized throughout the summer's novelty productions, and the contrast in this frock is most noticeable, the back being so narrow and close hanging that It is split 12 inches to give sufficient freedom. The coat and the negligee are two essentials without which-no traveler dares fare forth. A seven-eighths-length coat exemplifies an Idea which is new this season and is particularly useful for the feminine week-ender. An alluringly feminine three-quar-tors-length negligee is of cream crepe and is lined with flesh georgette. Marabou borders the neckline, the sleeves, encircles the bottom of the skirt and incidentally forms the flower which conceals the fastening. Silver Ruling Color. The extremities of the mode were presented with an unusual opportunity this season and they have not been slow to improve it. The simple silhouette and the general prevalence of boyish styles have placed an additional premium upon shoes, which are more striking than for many summers. In Paris only the most elaborate shoe is modish for evening wear. A steadily increasing vogue exists for dancing slippers in multi-colored metal brocade, many of which have flashes of red in the brocaded or warp-printed pattern. Silver slippers are worn with toilettes of all colors —indeed, even in combination with white evening dresses they are favored above the white shoes. Many of the most handsome of these silver models are bordered with tiny rhinestones, the brilliant mock jewels following the outline of the straps and the openings. Hellstern features evening slippers with flexible crescent-shaped ornanients which follow the outline of the cut of the slipper itself. These ornaments are very elaborate —they are made of sterling silver set With rhinestones, and each little section is Joined to the other w:ith a flexible hinge. Most often they are washed in an antique tone of gold and elaborately chased. Hellstem's newest color for satin evening slippers is a shade of copper brown. This hue Is effectively contrasted by bands of antique gold cloth, which form the border and straps of the shoes. This designer features principally the closed style—he Is making a determined effort to get away from the ope« sandal.

more apparent that such a period Is rapidly approaching. There has been a sameness about the styles of the last few seasons which reflects’ no credit upon the couturier. Straight silhouette, plait, cloche, black and white, slender lines, have all become phrases which are equally descriptive of every mode ; of recent years. Even the undeniable beauty of some of the new frocks cannot overshadow the fact that the current cycle of fashion has reached Its senescence. Milady blames her designer and the designer, with some modicum of truth, points to the fhet that every new suggestion from the Paris salons has been greeted with indifference by the followers of the inode. At ail events, discontent is manifest and, in the realm of fashion, discontent al- ' ways presages change. A Polish for Patent Leather To polish patent leather, rub it well with a soft rag soaked In olive oil and milk, then polish with a soft dry duster. Cream and linseed oil mixed in equal proportions is a very good polish also.
