"I Something to Think About “| By F. A. IDALKER u - J

JUST A STEP BEYOND TUST a step beyond the barriers J which have so long defled us. and we are sure of our ground, certain of j realizing our fondest hopes, and I miirchlng on with the victors. The thought thrills us with elation, i hut how hard It is to make the final | stride when we are worn and weary. Human nature is prone to lose courage when the chase is tiresome. It inclines to become disheartened when carefully worked out plans and calculations fail Immediately to produce anticipated results. The fatal fault with most of us Is lack of patience, coupled with an inclination to be governed by Impulse rather than reason at the turning moment when everything is dependent on calmness and firmness of purpose. We incline to baste when we should I go slowly and take accurate account of i our energy, where we should conserve ; it, that our minds may not be filled with fear and finally- overcome with sickening apprehension. In business, as in love, most of our ’ miserable failures result from our refusal to consider seriously the step k beyond.

THE SYRACUSE JOURNAL

For some paltry reason, a whim of the fancy, or a laxity of activity, we find ourselves at the crucial moment weary of the chase. So we sit in the inviting shade of a friendly nook, while our more ambitious rivals steal a march upon us and capture the prize, only a step beyond ; our impatient reach. The blame Is our own. But the trntti never penetrates our souls until the clear perspective of years gives us a j siian>er vision which enables us to see our folly. It is not until then that we fully understand our shortcomings. To make amends for our own deficiencies, we proceed to pass ground advice to our intimates, which, as a rule, falls on barren ground. They know us! There is but a step between success and failure, likewise but a step between hope and despair. When the occasion comes for action very few ot us, alas, know how to make the step, though it is intiting and has an air of simplicity. And yet there is probably no other movement so vitally important to man’s future success as the step Just beyond. <© by McClure Neweptper Syndicate.)

MOTHER’S | SUMMER GIRL | g By DOUGLAS MALLOCH £ SUMMERTIME is children’s time More than any.other. “Wintertime brings Christmastime," Interrupts my mother.

Summertime is sunny time; That’s another reason I Why I like the summertime More than any season. i Mother says. “It’s often hot.” i Yes. und often it is not. Then we have the summer showers. Bringing all the summer flowers. Summertime Is picnic time. That is why 1 love it. With the green grass all around. Skies of blue above it. “But the summer cooks you so." Mother says. It does. 1 know. But, It seems, the more you cook More they say how “well” you* look “Summertime is some one’s time. And that some one's you I” Mother says, and takes me up. Just like mothers do.

Dash and Beauty in Milady’s Garb

This is the time of year when, more I than at any other, one longs to loaf ■ and invite one’s soul to be far away ; from the complications of life and , from such vexing matters as that of > dress, writes a fashion correspondent > in the New York Times. Happily, this is a day when “everyi thing goes," when one is expected to ' express one’s self, and when indl- [ vidua lity is approved, even when it might properly be translated as “peculiarity.” Such diversity of styles, such latitude, such extremes in dress have never been known In the past, and never before in the history of modern fashions has the unconven- , tional been so conventional. Originality is at a premium. The i demand for the unusual has become so > keen that artists having a high qua! i ity of talent are devoting themselves > without apology to the designing of ' women’s clothes. There have resulted many beautiful and artistic modes that help greatly to dignify the sub- ■ Ject. Many examples are presented in the latest styles to illustrate the fancy for color which has made this sea son one of real beauty. Every type of gown and garment, from the most > casual to the most formal, is shown in symphonies of color, in grace of line, and with a fine sense of suitabil- : ity. Radical changes are adapted { with skill, and the picture value is emphasized in many artistic ways. The sportswoman has created a style of dress, and the designers who have j taken itfor their motif have created and really smart frocks and coats and hats, with every detail and accessory, than have ever been I shown before. The athletic girl who takes the place of the stiffly tailored “young lady” of former season* is a creature : of life and dash and grace, of vitality and poise. These qualities are- reflected in the togs in which she makes her proud young appearance to do her bit In helping win laurels for her country and herself. May Display Individuality. Extravagance and eccentricities are individual, but such broad fields have been searched for novelty and such extremes have been harmonized that nothing startles today, and anything, so it is not commonplace, is liked. What is popularly known as sports dress has come to be. In away, a costume for general utility. Fashionable women of today have tempered with common sense the whole subject of dress, the tendency being to simplify, to make as comfortable as possible. the ceremony of dressing. In grandmother’s day the belles of Saratoga. Newport. Long Branch. Narragansett and White Sulphur spent the long, warm summer days and evenings dressing, changing many times, displaying as large and as varied a wardrobe as money and time permitted, and making the whole wafer-place season a time of laborious effort in the cause of vanity. It is all quite different now. Smart simplicity is the keynote of the day— . ' some of it elaborate simplicity, to be sere. Most of the uncomfortable features of women’s dress have gradually been laid aside —stays and bones and trinoline and the other things that made fashionable dress a barbaric business. Now health, ease, utility, clearly expressed in terms of beevmingness and style, are the standard, i and any departure from these, and inclination to fussiness. Is the reverse of smartnessl The ideal dress for the less pretentious places Is an all-day frock, or j practically such—something for morning—for whatever activities there may be in sports or outing, and for

Delicate Dance Frocks

The latest idea In dance frocks is something as delicate as a, moth’s wings, as fragile as the petals of a poppy that lasts scarcely while you gather it. The latest things from Paris are the lightest»and loveliest imaginable, built of tulle, of mousseline de sole revived in gossamer weave, of georgette, cobweb laces and organdie. A frou-frou dancing frock has the usual unbound, unlined slip of satin or taffeta, and the illusion is put on in many flounces on overlapping petticoats with the airy crispness of ballet skirts. The dress in itself is kept simple In French models; only the billowing stuff Itself, with always a garniture of nosegay of flowers. This is the type of frock that comes back and is repeated. In but slightly varying versions, sometimes after intervening years. Because of the unelaborated treatment of tulle, the color of the dress la important. White Is having a vogue. The frocks of frosty white tulle trimmed with trailing sprays of flowers, the kind we know as “French

Small Headgear Seems to Have Call for Fall

Judging from the collections the aui tumn hats promise to remain small. There is a concentrated effort to do away with the cloche, says the Dry : Goods Economist, and. these newer : hats turn up sharply at the side to ! descend at the opposing point. ! Crowns are higher and squarer, tn | telescope effect Satin for early fall, hatter’s plush and velvet for later, and of course some felt, seem to be the predominating media. Black- and brown, with black in the lead, are the favored colors. In trimmings we find a marked endorsement of black ribbon—satin, moire, grosgrain—and birds rather than feathers find representation. In one instance tiny bird beads lined up in dose formation form the entire brim of a black, hatter’s plush hat. The bird treatment has already been accepted on summer felts. Ostrich tufts are smart often daringly placed in the center front. Trimmings at large occupy * lateral poritfoa and are usually of ribbon smart-

carrying on past luncheon, with no need to change until tea time, perhaps not until dinner. Early in the spring at Paris. French women dressed thus, and one saw many smartly dressed Parisiennea shopping, at luncheon, even at tea. in the swagger restaurants, wearing tlie informal frock. But always they were stylishly hatted and booted, and always with a boa of fur or other becoming stuff about the neck. This summer, sports dress, with pretty, snappy skirts of plaited stuff, soft flattering blonses. sweaters, jackfiww Vr w w] J Mhp pg If* tai' O I Costume Shp of Two-Tone Italian Silk; Body of Platinum. ets, boyish hats and wonderful scarfs, answers just such “needs, and is the most youthful, engaging, girl-boy kind of dress ever designed. Designs Are Subtly Simple. At the other end of th<? day's program the modish dress is artistic, elaborate, fantastic, costly und sometimes dazzling. The most intriguing designs are subtly simple in composition. beautiful in color and made of materials of every quality and variety possible to an artistic imagination The season was begun with many models Illustrating different types of evening gowns, heavily beaded, or of handsome material richly trimmed; for dinner and the most formal evening entertainments, fairylike tulles, floating chiffons and softly dinging crepej, fine traceries in crystal, metal, pearl? needlework, laces, applique, hand-painting, ostrich, with jeweled ornaments and ribbons. All these types’go into the making of the latest gowns for fashionable occasions. They are as different and numerous as •types of women, and they ail are good style. The beaded gown carries on. Invariably the pattern is done on chis- . son cloth or voile, producing a clinging. caressing effect. Idealizing the figure and giving an appearance of J radiance, with the luster of the beads , with which the patient is outlined. A “ i beaded gown is always teady. and fits many an emergency. Every woman appreciates the convenience of having at least one beaded gown. Some, to whom the straight lines and weighted softness are especially becoming, have several such garments among their summer toga.

To Clean Cretonne Dry bread crumbs will dean cretonne, chintz, etc., when the colors are liable to run if washed. The crumbs can be tied in a piece of strong muslin or applied loosely in a large handful. Chair covers, difficult to remove, can be beautifully cleaned in this way. The Mode in White A sports hat that is just a little different is of white felt with a band around the crown composed of patchwork flowers in orange and green. „ The flowers are made of crepe de chine. Fashionable Gloves There are no more plain gloves. Even the soberest silk ones have ciri cular ruffles which range all the way from narrow tucks of the goods to wide lace Bouncings.
