New York.--There Is no doubt that U»e Increasing popularity of woolen Jersey has solved several problems of Importance for many women. It has jfoeen difficult to find a suitable com­ promise between serge and muslin for trarm, leather. When that weave known as Jersey made its appearance In sweaters. It *was greeted with en­ thusiasm, for there were undoubted ' disadvantages in the knitted garment l»i hot days, and there has come about inich a rooted aversion to the marked -%aistline, or, rather, the admission of |t by leaving it uncovered, that every 'v.ftoin&n, slim or stout, desires a sack some kind to drop from shoulders to hips. In jersey one-piece frocks they find the right substitute for the akirt and separate blouse. The French have always been the strongest opponents of that keenly drawn division of the skirt from the bodice, and even after they adopted the Anglo-Saxon coat and skirt made of mannish suitings. Severely built, they did not remove the jacket in the bouse. In those days we were In the habit of laughing at them and showing at all times a rather contemptuous atti­ tude toward their abuse, as we said, This frock of gray jersey has organ­ die ruffles at neck and wrists. Pockets •re braided with gray silk. The but­ tons are silver and the belt of blue suede. ^ of the type of apparel we had made famous. When Americans in Paris went about on hot days without a coat, wearing a dark skirt and white lingerie blouse, the little midinettes at the noon hour were wont to turn and laugh in that provocative manner in which the French women are adept. We thought they were ignorant of the proper way to treat a coat suit. We hated to hear that laugh of derision intended for "women who turned out on the streets In their shirtsleeves, which even the Fnmch workman did not do," as they put it, but we acted in a like contemptuous manner, and each, side thought It had drawn blood, as it were. When Americans turned Into the tea places where there was dancing after live o'clock and found women dancing with their jackets on, we wondered how they stood the discomfort of it, and we immediately took off our coats to show elaborately embroidered chif­ fon blouses which we thought very suitable indeed. Evidently the Parisi- enne did not think so, from the uplift­ ed eyebrows that greeted the costume. But America is usually, toplofty at first and imitative In the end. The several seasons of amused -ierision on the part of the French for the woman In shirtsleeves finally began to have its effect and sensitive souls began to k<eep oil their coats in public places. Covering the Shift Sleeves. Then the Americans went over wholeheartedly to the French idea" that a woman, as well as a man, must hide ber white shirt sleeves. It was found­ ed, you see, on the right artistic idea as well as on good taste. The control­ ling reason behind the French attitude was the one that rules whatever the French do in dress: which is to make the best of the human figure and give It as good an outline as art aind nature combined can produce. Today It is exceedingly difficult to make an American woinun 'appear in her shirt sleeves in public; in the pri­ vacy of her own home, yes; bitt even there she finds a one-piece frock faf more artistic than a cloth skirt with a separate white blouse. It is because she has discovered, after many years, that the figure looks infinitely better and more graceful with a long line reaching from neck to hips, that she wears a sweater constantly in the house. She has begun to feel that the waistline should be obliterated at all costs. In this frame of mind she naturally turns to the gown cut in one piece, hanging in a long line. It allows her to comfort herself with the thought that, even if her waist is too thick in front and her skirt rides, these deficiencies are covered up by the frock or coat that, charitably a trifle too high in the waistband, passed them b7 without re­ vealing them to the onlooker. Long Line Under the Arms. So insistent have the women be­ come hpon hiding the waist, except by the merest fraction of a supple curve, that the dressmakers are pleas­ ing them by Introducing drapery un­ der the arms which hangs below the knees. It is transparent, this drapery, and floats about in the air as the wear­ er uses her arms, but it fulfills its mis­ sion of straightening out the figure in an admirable manner. It cannot be em­ ployed on an informal frock, the kind that one would wear between the hours of eight in the morning and seven in the evening, but on any type of eve­ ning frock, it is well placed. Another method that the dressmak­ ers have of catering to the concealment of the waistline is the use of the elab­ orate cape of tulle or lace that goes over the slionlders and extends to the tips of the fingers. The fashion for lace of any ltind gives one a variety of methods of draping the body line in a lissome manner. In daytime frocks the long line Is given by the Use of braid, of ribbon, of plaiting and em­ broidery. There are also glorified sus­ penders of ornamentation that are at­ tached to skirts with chiffon blouses that give the correct and desired sil­ houette. They do not extend over the front and back of the frock, but pass Over the shoulders, reach to the hips, widening as they go under the arms, and are often loosely belted in at the waist by one or more of the draped girdles that attach themselves to every kind of gown this season. These suspenders, by the way, should prove an inspiration to the woman who wants to bring the gowns she possesses into the present picture. If she has a dark silk or cloth skirt, for example, with a thin blouse to match in color, she can easily bring the two into a composite whole by the addition of this skeletonized jacket of em­ broidery, or soutaching on net. Lace Is Rioting Over Clothes* The experts prophesied a revival of lace in the immediate future ana the knowledge they possessed, proved exact. Lace positively riots over the new clothes, it is used for entire "frocks, for long wraps, for parasols, negligees, petticoats, coats and eve­ ning frock drapery. There is surely some economical rea­ son behind this furore for a valuable and not easily procured article of dress. It is quite evident that the French wish to make lace the high fashion in order to give employment to the thousands of needleworkers of its own country and those who have come from Belgium and who have to be supported by the French govern­ ment. This strain of caring for the homeless of the neighboring country la telling on France, for, in addition to the prisoners she has taken, tlie num­ ber of alien mouths in which she has to put food, constitute a small nation. Therefore, to give the Belgians and the French widows work, all sorts of in­ dustries have been revived and encour­ aged, especially those that will have a good chance of bringing in American dollars converted Into francs. In Amer­ ica, we are minus needleworkers of importance, so the major portion of what we must use, comes from the lacemaking centers of Europe. The fashion for it may lead to a foolish and inartistic application of cheap and taw­ dry laces to frocks, and a mass of it where it should be avoided, but, so far, there is no diminution of the fashion which came into its first bloom as the spring openings were held. ^Copyright, 1917. by the McClure Newspa­ per Syndicate.)

PRETTY APRON-OF-ALL-WORK Embroidering Such an Article of Ap­ parel May Seem Rediculoua^ but It Is Worth Effort. * Did it ever occur to you to embroid­ er a work apron? While this may found ridiculous at first, the finished fesult is pretty enough to warrant In­ vestigation into the subject. You see, the apron is a cover-tfil affair of white cotton ribbed matrelal with fine blue fltripes an Inch apart. The . apron apens in front as far as the waist line, god is closed by means of pairs of pearl buttons sewed on with blue satin •otton and loops of the cotton crochet- in plain «:hainstitch. if Across the front of the apron on the Waist are embroidered sprays of flow­ ers, all in blue, most of the sprays out- ' lined,, but a few of the petals being Ailed in with satin stitches. The apron is cut with kimono sleeves and 7 lis fullness held itf with a belt. Along the edge of belt and sleeves a fancy buttonholing has been' employed. b£- to»C done with the blue cotton. After #- tile buttonholing has been used to fin-' ish off these edges a crocheted edge (which can be imitated with the but­ tonhole needle) still further embel­ lishes sleeves and belt. The beauty, of such an apron is that it does not look like an apron. One can wear it through the morning as a work frock, or slip it on in the eve­ ning over a good dress, where it will form a protective cov&r-all, but not look" so worklike as the over-all of gingham. And it should not take an awful long time to make. < ' A New Trimming. Silk mosaic might be the name of an Interesting sort of trimming ap­ plied to a charming set consisting of hat, cape and muff. The three pieced were made of gray taffeta, and each was trimmed with a floral design--the flowers were suggestive of hydrangeas --in shades of lavender and pink. The design was formed with tiny squares of silk glued to the surface of the taffeta. ELECTRIFICATION OF SUBURBAN ROAD HOME-PLANNING IN COUNTRY if. V PASSENGER COACH ON BUENOS AIRES-TIQRE ROAD. Tlgre, one of the most popular pleas­ ure resorts for the people of Buenos Aires, was recently linked with the capital city by the completion of the electrification of a suburban railroad. Tigre lies on the Plata river about rwenty-seven miles above Buenos Aires, and for some years the Increas­ ing flow of people between the city and the pleasure grounds, or rather boating waters, was by means of boats and the steam railroads. The contin­ ued increase in the popularity of Tl- ?re, however, necessitated better pas­ senger-traffic facilities than those pre­ vailing, and notwithstanding the dis­ turbed conditions of the world, the work of electrification of the route to Tlgre has continued with little inter­ ruption. The road belongs to^he Cen­ tral Argentine system. The electric alternating current is produced at 20.000 volts at a main pow­ er plant near the Tigre end of the road and transmitted to substations by un­ derground cables. A third rail con­ veys the current to the trains. The coaches are of the multiple sys­ tem, the unit consisting of one motor coach having two motors and a trailer coach. The standard train will have two units or four coaches, but may be Increased to six units or twelve coaches. All of the coaches have cen- ROADS IN PANAMA Three Important Projects Now Under Consideration. > j tral as well as end doors, and are thus ! equipped for the easy ingress and egress of crowds. ; The .new electric service will not only facilitate travel between Buenos Aires and Tigre, but the various su­ burban villages through which the roajl passes will be equally benefited. Towns and villages are numerous along the route, and many business men of the city have thei* homes In these subur- jban sections. In the past the steam railways have operated from 30 to 50 trains a day between the capital and Tigre, from which fact we obtain an idea of the enormous amount of travel. With more modern facilities, the whole region along the electric line^seems likely to be more popular thati in the past. Tlgre Is often referred to as "Little Venice." Its location at the confluence of the Tlgre and the broad La Plata, | together with the numerous islands of jthe vicinity, especially favor aquatic sports. These the Argentine has devel­ oped on a large scale, and the various contests in season never fail to draw enthusiastic crowds. There are beau­ tiful gardens, vine-clad cottages, fine shade trees, and on the- mtfin shore 5 the splendid hotels and amusement pa- | vilions offer every facility for pleasure land entertainment. - ENGINE OPERATES CAR DOOR RAPID TRANSPORTATION AIM First Is Construction of Military Line Connecting Punta de Toro With Fort of San Lorenzo at . Mouth of Chcgnes Rivsr. Three important railroad projects as part of a defense scheme for the Pan­ ama canal hnve been under considera­ tion for some time and present condi­ tions are likely to hasten their comple­ tion, says Indianapolis News. First of these is the building of a military railroad connecting Punta de Toro with the ruined fort of San Lorenzo at the mouth of the Chagres river. The latter point, which figured prominently In the history of the isthmus under Spanish rule, commands the entrance of the Chagres river which admits of easy approach by water to the Gatun locks. As a fortified position it would also have to be reckoned with by any military expedition directed at the cit­ ies of Colon or Panama. The primary object in the construction of the road is the rapid transportation of troops and military equipment from Fort Sherman to San Lorenzo in case hos­ tilities were attempted by way of the Chagres. The road will be six to eight miles long and will be of five-foot gauge, the standard in use on the Pan­ ama railroad. The road will be part of an elaborate defense scheme and will cost from $7.rK),000 to $800,000. Two Other Projects. Two other roads are projected which are not primarily of military charac­ ter, but would be useful In case of hos­ tilities. The Panama national assem­ bly has a bill under consideration pro­ viding for the construction of a rail­ road in the province of Cliiriqui ex­ tending from the town of La Concep­ tion through Divala to a point in the bay known as Charco Azul to be de­ termined on later. The line will be a branch of the Chiriqui railroad now in operation. It is expected to aid great­ ly in the industrial development of Chiriqui, one of the richest and most fertile sections of the country. The assembly is also considering the con­ struction by the United States and Panama jointly of a series of railroads and highways connecting the cities of Panama and Colon with points In the interior. Such roads, it is believed, would help the growth of the cities as well as the development of the In­ terior. Under the provisions of a pro­ posed bill Panama Is to pay 50 per cent of the cost' of construction and the executive is authorized to treat with the United States government through a special mission.

Put vines, preferably a hardy ever­ green like the English ivy, over un­ sightly fences, stumps and walls.

For opening and .closing heavy car doors a pneumatic motor of a new type lias been brought out recently by a car-heating company. The control of the motor Is electro-pneumatic, by means of valves placed on each side. The air is cut off from the engine at each end of the stroke, which econo­ mizes the air used and also permits at­ mospheric check, or cushioning, so that the door does not slam. There is a safety feature which permits a passen­ ger to hold up the door in case of pre­ mature closing; and if clothing is caught in it, the door may be pushed German Engine Is Fast.

Generally speaking, says a writer In the Wide World Magazine, a Soudan­ ese is content with one wife, but the j marriage law s vary considerably anioug I different tribes, though all have much 1 tii common. A uian buys his wife, or j rat Iter gives the value agreed upon-- cash in prosperous towns like Oiudur- j man, and cattle aud grain in the coun- . try. Half of the amount is usually hand- led over to the bride's people before j marriage, and is spent on wedding ft>s- tivities; the remainder Is paid by in­ stallments. You get your wife, in short, on the hire-purchase system; the mot­ to of Soudanese fathers-in-law, where eligible daughters are concerned, is evi­ dently "Weekly payments taken." The price of a wife varies considerably. In Onulurman, where the natives are well- to-do, a wife costs from *75 to $150, or £ven more. There is no restriction up­ on the number of wives a man may have; a wife is regarded as so much personal property, und valued accord­ ingly.

Lessons have been learned and diffi­ cult problems solved while in sound slumber. A young girl, through the death of her father, was told that she must leave school unless she passed an ex­ amination which would entitled her to a scholarship. She studied assiduous­ ly, and on one occasion carried her school books to her bedroom, intending to rise early the next day for the pur­ pose of study. In the morning, on looking over her lessons, she was sur­ prised to find that she already knew them. This happened for several suc­ ceeding days, when she mentioned the circumstances to her mother, who de­ termined to watch her. This she did, and observed the girl get up as soon as it was light, appiy herself to her lessons, and then return to bed. When awake she had no Idea of what die had done. W. L.

Czarlsm having vanished from the Russian scheme, we are preparing to take leave of several friends long en­ deared to us by many a novel and short story. We shall miss Olga, the beautiful nihilist, very much, declares the London Globe. She had so many tones of voices, but her chief tones were either langorous or tense. The former was used when she was striving to fascinate the tall young Englishman from the embassy in Pe- trograd; the latter when Olga was getting on with her life work of blow­ ing up disagreeable governors with bombs. We generally noticed it was Olga who was selected to project the disin­ tegrating missile Into the bad gover­ nor's sleigh. Her men friends simply sat around and egged her on, and alluded to her in admiring tones as the "Daughter of freedom" (or of the "Revolution" or something). We also noticed another thing about Olga, and that was, that If she was not named Olga she was called Vera. Or vice versa. But, Olga or Vera, we shall miss her very much, with her eyes "dark as night." We never knew how much we liked her tili we read a real Rus­ sian novel and found nobody in It re­ sembling her at all.
