THE LAKE SHORE NEWS. THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1914. For f~ eihough t in Clothes New York, August 16. Bow tew women realize the economy of a wisely planned ward- lobe. < Instead, they allow themselves to purchase each garment In a hap- feasant manner. This la the cause of more worries, more failures and more heartaches than women realise. Jk. woman usually receives but little preparation to St her for managing a home. She takes it for granted that because her mother did it and her grandmother did it, that she, also, win be able to do It--when the time comes. This ssme lack of fore- thought extends to a woman's ward- robe. Clothes she mast have, and pretty ones, and she buys regardless it whether or no, a thing la suited to her particular style or figure. Some special occasion arises which requires » gown, lacking in her wardrobe. Thereupon she rushes from shop to shop, finally buying (as her time is -limited) something which costs more than she Intended. The dress has to fee altered; this again depletes her pocket book, and as a finale she real- ises that the hastily bought, hastily altered gown, did fairly well for the affair for which she bought it, but it Is too elaborate for some occasions, too perishable for economy, and last, hut hot least, that It does not suit her style. \_ Another, Insidious, deceitful and crafty enemy to the proper wardrobe, and to that feeling of well being which la associated with being smartly and suitably gowned, is the unwise use of the bargain counter. Its temptations are responsible for - many an ill-chosen outfit Mo: should be saved for some really good thing is spent on something which is cheap, but has no value in the specific wuMmho it may be a collar which is worth SO cents and you get it for 35, but you have no dress with which to wear it; It may be a belt that is not Appropriate or a pair of shoes the wrong color, or an array of conspicu- ous stockings- when the frocks and shoes to suit are lacking. Colors, fabrics, and accessories are constant- ly changing, .and the temptation of getting sostetiiiug for little or nothing is a feminine characteristic much catered to by the wily storekeeper wishing to get rid of his stock. In other, and shorter words, system and thoughts must be applied to the wararobt. The few absolutely neCO sary clothes, suited to the occasions which your position in life calls for, ate all that the well-dressed woman's wardrobe should contain; then, when the styles change, you are not forced to we&r oui-of-vIoiG frocks. In every gathering of well-dressed women, mingling* freely, unobtrusive- ly, with coy gravity, among the loose kimono styles, Is the basque of 1880. that decollete gowns should not be worn until after 6 o'clock, any more than a man's dress suit should bo worn before then. But the way* of arriving at these low neck dresses ar0 like observing tha tetter of the law. The satin slip is cut very low, but Is worn with a long sleeved bodice of lace or maline. thin and transparent. "TOM'S" PUPILS WILL GIVE EXHIBIT THURSDAY Thomas Robinson's summer swim- ming classes will close on Thursday of this week. As has been his custom in former years, "Tom" will have an exhibition on Thursday evening; and Saturday afternoon. His pupils will have a chance to "show off" how pro- ficient they are In the art of swim- ming. Many features are on the pro- gram. One is a relay race> between two teams of five boys each. Twenty- four girls, ranging in ages from - 5 to 14 years, will form the letters "N. TJ." in the tank. Other events are fancy diving, exhibition of yark»us strokes, and distance races. Tom has. had a largo class this year._______" "The rolling stone gathers BO ta) a tlmeworn proverb, but, after all. it may well bo questioned whether moss gathering Is the high- est use to which a stone can be put The stones that grind the meal tor man's bread are not less valuable because they are unseated with moss and the man who refuses to move along the road of general progress or helpfulness because It may inter- fere with his ehanco to accumulate for himself la not an ideal citizen.-- Selected. Cases Not Similar. Experience teaches a man that he can make a steer move forward by twisting the obstinate animal's tall; intuition keeps him from applying the same method in the case of a balky mule.--Toledo nia'e. Profit of Books. The profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader. The profoundest thought or passion sleeps as in a mine, unless an equal mind and heart finds - and publishes it.---, Emerson. He Might Bite. A good many people sympathize with the under dog, but they don't want the upper dog to know it, says the New York Times._______________ 32 North 5th Aye.

Although color la conspicuous In the sash, stockings and hat of the ten nis costume, in the lining of the cape coat, or In the development ofthe em- broidered afternoon dress, there .ts no more striking costume than the all-white gown worn with a white hat, white shoes, white gloves and even white veil. The long straight tunic has taken a prominent place with the over-wuists and long-waists, in taffeta, satin, laco and net. The Bccond illustration shows a late summer dress of white taffeta and Margot lace with craquelS net top. This net is made of fine thread in an Irregular mesh, which reminds one of the crackle on old porcelain or Chinese pottery, and is extremely good in the net top laces so extremely fa«h ionable this season. The yoke to this dress is of the Margot lace with the shaves of the plain Margot edgtid craquel6 net. A wide pleated flonncu of Margot edged craquel6 net is at- tached to a taffeta yoke. The over- waist is of taffeta and has extended fronts which tie in the back like the sash ends of a child's old-fashioned pinafore. The under skirt is also of taffeta. A cunning little toque entirely covered with flowers and having a white wing standing saucily upright, In the front, gives a touch of imperious charm to the costume. Black or white, and black and white are worn considerably by the smartest dressed women. In fact, the late sum- mer proves to have a growing fund- ness for the magpie colors. Looking up and down Fifth avenue one sees a dotting of black and white with just enough color thrown in to add spice to an otherwise monotony of color. Wide crushed girdles, buttoning up the back or front, give the hasquo ef- fect to a dress, and artf decidejy the rage. In silk, or In the same cloth aa the dress, they arv. effective. As an addition to an old dress which needs a new touch to bring it up-todate they are excellent. A straight wide belt of moire is an excellent addition ^to your white frock of crepe or of organdy As a last addition to the summer clothes are white silk stockings wltli sprays of flowers painted on the front, extending up five or bIx Inches from the instep.
