Even the woman who has hitherto been wary of hectic hues must needs join the ranks of the color enthusiasts, ir the would dress smartly. In the separate jacket which tops the majority of costumes in the new pageant, designers a most inhave discovered triguing opportunity for exploiting color accent. The vogue takes on many phases, always with the thought of making striking contrast .the outstanding theme. One of the methods of stressing contrast Is that of topping the light skirt or frock with a darker jacket With a white jersey frock, per example, the young woman who posed for this picture wore a bright red Jacket. Every other detail of her costume Is white, even to her kid shoes and her felt hat. No less chic are the ensembles where the black, brown, or navy dress is contrasted with the jacket in a color so vivid as to be startling, such as for Instance an orange flannel coatee with a brown frock or a gray with navy for the skirt, or red with black. The very newest note is the light jacket with the dark skirt or gown. For some time fashionists have been calling attention to the costume which has a light top, the dress with yoke and sleeves in white, or a delicate tint sharing honors with the dark skirt via the seamed-obodice top of lace or a light fabric. In the light jacket with the dark skirt the vogue takes on an entirely new angle. We have in mind In this connection the white jacket worn over a black or navy skirt, white blouse completing this ultra modish trio.

This was a new Bodwin, thought Alice; the one whose boyish charm no one else had driven from her heart.

The timing and the bursting of the shrapnel shells was very short. The ministry of munitions realized the seriousness of the situation and Sir Ernest Moir. a member of the council, was sent to America to investigate. He visited the factory and made a thorough Investigation without being able to locate the difficulty. Then quite by chance it occurred to him that there might have been some change in the manner of handling the powder, and consequently a change In the voids between the particles of the powder. When the head of the munition factory was asked If there had been any such change, he replied: "Why yes.
