T* HE flapper era ■■• is on the wane. To dress befitting one’s years and dignity is becoming a revived art. The lament of madam that the fashion pages contain nothing but pictures of styles for young girls and slenderized figures has at last been heard and heeded. Thai harrowing experience is past of “trying on” or trying to try on with a saleswoman’s frantic help, a frock too short, too narrow and ofttimes sleeveless. Now that the tide has turned in favor of consistent and becoming dress for the matron, highclass shops everywhere are employing specialists to

««© Vj-VVIUIIOIQ create fashions for a clientele which does not register in the debutante class, nor in that of the flapper or of th°e girlish matron type. A charming costume, the sort that carries appeal to the modish gentlewoman. Is shown here. There is nothing more flattering to “years of dis cretion” than exquisite black lace. And when it is made up with hand some georgette it becomes a “creation” of singular charm and good style. The georgette cape which madam wears with her de luxe afternoon frock is in accord with the caii of the summer mode for the transparent wrap. As to the flower-trimmed lustrous black straw hat which tops madam’s costume, it Is quite as smart as fashion prescribes. Also it is daintily fem inine and of flattering becoipingness A matching boutonniere likewise conforms to the latest dictates of the mode. For less dressy wear, plain georgette (navy is ever a favorite), is recommended. It may be either strict ly tailored or its severity relieved with tucking, fagoting, perhaps plaiting, adding sometimes a jabot, or a bit of refining lace. If madam prefers prints rather than plain, then good'taste Will lead to her selecting small designs and subdued colors. Now that silk tailored suits are again in fashion, they should prove of special appeal to the matron. Like

With the addition of the sleeveless short jacket here is the way the count stands — blouse, skirt (sometimes the two merge into a one-piece dress), long topcoat, and the aforesaid jacket The practicality of such a “foursome” need not be stressed.

tume depends upon a happy selection of the material from which it is to be made. Silk suits are the “last word ’ for summer town and country club wear. Sc why not choose silk? The ideal is a silk which washes, and which tailors perfectly. If it has every appearance of an exquisitely tine suiting, so much the better. It is of just such a silk fabric that the fetching four-piece in this picture is made. There is a bit of wool in its weave —just enough to give it a hand some appearance and to entitle it to the suggestive name of antelope silk. Os course, the usual thing would be to say that the street ensemble pic tured is in beige or in gray. On the contrary this silk which has the ap pearance of tine kasha and which tubso perfectly, is a lovely “dusty” pas tel pink, one ot the favorite shades this season. It is too fetching foi words, thoroughly conservative and in every way in good taste for street wear, it might just as well have been in the very new aquamarine blue. «>i a soft grayish green, for fashion is indorsing just such shades for those who wis'h something other than neutral gray, 6r beige. Perhaps the smartest of all shades for the summei silk taillew), is white which is not really white, but a shade once removed Fashion refers to these esthetic tones as jade white, grege. and the oatmeal color may possibly be here included The encouraging part about the en

semble in the picture is that it is not a formal made affair which requires the skill of an expert couturier. Tin pattern used for this ensemble is such as one can secure at any pattern department, and it is extremely simple so follow. Note that the frock has a diagonal stitching and fashioning. Also a belt of self fabric. As to the coat, it has the inevitable scarf collar. Pongee is another silk favored foi the making of the tailored washable ensemble. Since printed pongee is available it is effective, made up with plain. Another clever effect is to trim with groups of machine stitching done in multicolor threads. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (©. 1928.

& Stiffer Silks Taffeta and moire are among the season’s revivals that indicate a renewed interest in fabrics with somewhat more firmness or body than formerly. Chamois Coats The most becoming sports coats im aginable are made of chamois in its natural coloT. They come either lon or short and have a pinkish brig tinge that is exceedingly effective.

Speaker’s Long Journey I* 30 to 10,000 Cycles *What is the function ot a loud speaker?” The answer is simple. . . . “It must faithfully convert into sound, the electrical impulses passed into it from the output amplifying tube. Unfortunately, this is more easilysaid than done. The vision is easier than the achievement, particularly so when the scope of the device is its great as that Os the average loud speaker. Bear in mind thai the frequency requirements are from 30 to at least 8.000 cycles. With the development of a radio frequency amplifying system where 10.000 cycle sidebands are possible, and with the development of audio amplification where perfect response at 10.000 cycles is possible, the operating scope of the speaker is augmented to 10,000 cycles. From 30 to 10,000 cycles is a long journey. At that, the magnitude ot the frequency band is not the all-important consideration. The relative response at the frequencies witfiiu this baud is ot even greater import. The ideal speaker would have a fiat response curve, that is to say the sound pres-, sure due to moving air columns set into motion by the vibrating speaker diaphragm should be equal at all frequencies for a uniform electrical signal input to the speaker windings. With fidelity audio reproduction a prime motif in radio receivers, the loud speaker plays a tremendously important role. The improvement ot loud speakers is not found solely in the widening ot the frequency operating band, but al so in the attainment of more uniform response. The significance ot uniform response is more easily explained by an analysis of the energy distribution on the fundamental and the harmonic frequencies ot notes played on various instruments; also by an analysis of the overtone characteristics ot musical in instruments For example. J P. Minton shows that the higher the note played the less its harmonics. He shows how the low notes on the piano are very rich in overtones and bow the higher notes are not so rich. To this we must add the energy distribution data tabulated by Helmholtz. The table shown below illustrates the energy distribution on the fundamental (first harmonic) and three multiple harmonic frequencies of a note played on the piano, harp and violin. Instrument 1 2 3 4 Piano .... 100% 90. T% 8.9% 2.3% Harp .... 100% 81.2% 56.1% 31.6% Violin ... 10Q% 25 0% 11.0% 60% A study ot this table shows how important it is to use a speaker with a response curve that is‘the closest ap proacb to a. curve ot uniform ampli rude. If. for example, we consider the piano, we note that the intensity ot the second harmonic is practically equiv aient to that ot rhe first or funda mental. Ou the other hand, we note that rhe third harmonic possesses at) energy intensity ot about ot the fundamental and the fourth harmonic only about 2.5%'. In direct contrast we rind that the energy distribution ot the third harmonic ot a note played on the harp is approximately 56% and the energy distribution on the fourth harmonic is approximately 31.5%.—Radi0 World. Urges That Charging Be Done in Forenoon To prevent interference with radio reception in the neighborhood, the federal ■ radio commission requests that battery chargers be operated after midnight and in ttie morning hours. Interference with program reception caused by these chargers is one of the chief sources ot complaints received by the commission. While that body has no authority to prohibit operation of battery chargers during the hours of program broadcasting, it has where possible followed the policy of taking up the matter directly with the individual who is responsible and in nearly every case has obtained co-opera-tion. How Low-Loss Sockets Can Be Easily Made An excellent low-loss socket can be made by taking an ordinary one and screwing It to a square piece ot bakelite or hard rubber by means of small screws. The socket Is then cut in quarters by means of a hacksaw This socket will be found to be quite an improvement when used on very short wave lengths, as losses are cut down to a minimum. It the saw cuts are too wide, care should be taken so that the tube is Inserted the right way. Cause of Interference No set should cause interference excepting if it is defective. Any electrical device may cause Interference if defective. Wave Trap Aids Choice «. A wave trap often is an Important factor in increasing the selectivity of a radio receiver. Such a trap may be made easily with a tuning condenser shunted across a coil. The trap is connected between the aerial and the antenna binding post on the receiver. Flexible Wiring Best While bus bar wiring produces a neat job, flexible material is much easier to handle where subpanels and shields are used. Cabling of the filament wires, may be resorted to, but generally this will be found to require more time and material. Soldering Flux Aeid should be avoided In soldering. Unless every trace of this chemical Is removed there is a dangerous tendency toward corrosion. Rosin flux, when properly applied, Js more efficienl. Oil Burners A defective oil burnei furnace will cause static noise in the neighborhood.
