FOR STREET WEAR
One-Piece Dress Important Part
of the Wardrobe.
Tailored Frocks, Not Suits, Predom
inate in Fashion Thoroughfare Dur
ing Shopping Hour.
The one-piece dress fur street
wear is by far the most important
single item of a well-dressed woman’s
wardrobe. Selecting garments for wear
at home, whether for morning, after
noon or evening. Is a simple task.
Making these garments Is equally sim
ple; but a woman’s reputation for lin
ing well or poorly dressed depends
upon the selection of tier street appar
el. Tim suit long ago took second
place. The fact that many suit manu
facturers have Included dress lines in
their output during the past few sea
sons helps to prove this, if any proof
is needed. A glance at any fashion
able thoroughfare is another proof.
Fully 80 per cent of the women seen
during any popular shopping or prom
enade hour will he found garbed in
tailored frocks, not suits.
Much season brings out its own spe
cial colors, with navy blue always In
the lead, and this year much black
is being worn. It Is not the dull, lus

terless black of mourning, but black
satin and velvet and tine black

The somltailorcd street frock !
shown In the sketch would be smart
made of black velvet embroidered In
color and with a touch of color on
the collar, sleeves and belt. The skirt
of this dress, while straight, shows a
cleverly arranged fullness, with the
upper part gathered in to the deep j
straight hand at the foot.
The dress fastens at the left front
and on the shoulder.
Inasmuch as a great deal of fur
is being used as a trimming for street
<1 reuses this season, the frock shown
would he handsome made of velvet in |
Mark or color with wide skirt hand,
girdle, collar, and cuffs of a flat fur
such as Hudson seal, heaver, nutria,
squirrel, kolinsky, etc. If fur is used
to trim the dress a muff and little fur
toque to match may he supplied, anti
a charming out lit he the result.
OILCLOTH FOR GAME TABLE
Substitute for Linen Now in Marked
Demand and Serving Numerous
Good Purposes.
The vogue for using oilcloth, or any
one of the now compositions which go
Under the same name, in place of linen
is growing apace. And now comes the
most serviceable game table cover of !
the oilcloth stenciled in the corners \
with appropriate designs. The advun- !
tage of such a cover can easily he at)- j
predated when one considers how easy ]
It is to wipe off the cover with a damp I
cloth after a strenuous game. Tapes
stitched across the corners tie It to the
legs of the table.
And again comes oilcloth In the very
place where you might expect to liud j
it—for a tablecloth and bib for the !
kiddle. This time the sanitary mate
rial Is a light biscuit color and is sten
ciled in brown with nursery charac
ters. A band of the brown paint
around the edge of bib und tablecloth
—which Is really only a place cloth,
large enough to lit the tray of the high
chair—Is the only finish necessary.
The Vogue of the Panel. _
The vogue for loose dying panels on 1
dresses seems to be Increasing us the
season develops. At Urst confined to |
the back, these loose and full-length <
panels are seen now on both front and
hack of formal, setuiforuial and after
noon frocks. They are frequently of a
material different from that in the body
of the dress and sometimes are of a
different color. The combination of sat
in und serge is seen a great deal and,
where the dress Is all silk, the body of
the garment may be of a shiny ma
terial while the panels are dull finished
though of the same color.
AMONG THE NEW SWEATERS
Sleeveless Garments Made of Ribbon;
One With Long Ends Which Tie
in the Back.
"Ribbons and laces and feminine
graces" have been so continually linked
together in verse that one suggests the
other to the mind of the average per
son and in consequence the new sleeve
less sweaters made of ribbon seem the
most delightfully feminine of all sueli
garments.
They are by no means as impracti
cal as they sound either, and mu lie
recommended both for beauty and for
warmth. The very narrow baby ribbon
In any shade can he used and with
large knitting needles one could easily
duplicate the sweaters now on sale in
I lie shops. Most of them are purled
about the waist and are finished off
with how-knots, but of course they
could he made as elaborate or as plain
as one desired. The ribbon being so
much heavier than the average wool.
It requires fewer stitches, but as it
does not stretch as much as wool does
one must he careful to allow plenty of
leeway to slip it on over the head.
Another new type of sweater that Is
proving very popular Is the one with
long ends which cross in the front and
tie in a sash at the hack. These are
newer than the sllp-on sweaters, hut
are a little harder to make. They
should he very loosely knitted, of
course, and the sleeves may Ip* knit
ted kimono style or made afterward
and set in. As for the sweater Itself
It starts at the waist line in the hack,
and is knitted like the ordinary sweat
er up to the neck. Then when the
stitches are east off and the shoulder
knitted, the fronts are done separate
ly, adding on two stitches at every
row until the bottom is reached, and
then a narrow sash is knitted and fas
tened to the end. These are only
pretty when they are done In what
some people call “in and out" stitch,
that is knit n row and purl a row, so
that there are no ribs to show, and
should he done on very large needles.
Needless to say, these are made of
one of the new wool substitutes.
VEILS ARE NOW THE RAGE
Face Covering Has Gained a Promi
nence That Has Not Been Equaled
in Many Years.
In looking over present modes, notes
a fashion correspondent, we can sure
ly say that the accidentals seem to he
more important than the key itself.
Take veils, for example. Perhaps you
have not been addicted to veils for
some time. No matter. Tills year
you will go out and liny yourself one.
Veils are now raging witli u virulence
not known for many a day. For morn
ing wear those of the best taste are
fine mesh varieties, often with a
georgette hem attached with French
knot variety. For more elaborate oc
casions this accessory becomes more
and more skittish.
Thus we have all sorts and condi
tions of hems for veils. It may ho
chenille clover leaves with Jet blos
soms, it may lie ostrich blue embroid
ery, and again, your hem is apt to tie
edged with duvetyn matching the
duvetvn of the turban. Another pop
ular conceit at present is to border
tlie veil with the same material and
color which face the hat brim. So
one can take tlie black veil with hen
na or with taupe. There is no end of
flavorings for this accessory.
Hats, too, are doing much to enliven
tlie dress world. Feather tarns are
seen occasionally now. So is the hat
trimmed witli cock feathers—a pleas
ant little souvenir of the guy Italian
bersaglieri who, with their fluttering
plumage, marched down -tlte avenue
during the Liberty loan drive. Many
of the smartest hats are of black and
some of them show little trimming.

ivening wear. The lines are full and
oose and an interesting cape makes an

QUARANTINE TO
BE STRICT AT
OCEAN DOCK
At a Joint meeting of the city coun-1
oil and the Council of National De
fense, held yesterday afternoon, the ;
question of the proper quarantine [
against the influenza, both at the i
ocean dock and in Cordova, was thor
oughly discussed, and it was the |
unanimous opinion that every effort
should lie made to stamp out the pres
ent epidemic and to prevent, as far
as possible, any further outbreak. In
order to accomplish the latter it was
agreed that a strict quarantine should
be maintained at the dock.
Inasmuch as the Carlisle Packing j
Company's buildings will shortly be
occupied by their own men, it was i
suggested that the Castle Inn might
be available, and Superintendent Ca
leb Corner of the Copper River H
Northwestern railroad, who was pres
ent. stated that as soon as it was
definitely determined just what regu
lations would be put into effect he
felt that the Copper River railway
would be only too glad to do anything [
within its power to assist in the work ;
undertaken, and if suitable arrange
meats could be made for the care of |
their men now housed in the Castle
Inn that building would be turned over
for use as a detention hospital.
Dr. \V. \V. Council stated that when
the epidemic first broke out in Alaska,
hist October, the surgeon general of
the United States army had wired
that the period of incubation was live
days. Since then, however, the med
ical officers at Camp Dodge and Camp
Humphrey had advised that fourteen
days' isolation was necessary at iso
lation hospitals.
Dr. W. H. Chase thought that he
and Dr. Council could formulate a set
of quarantine regulations which will
be effective. He suggested that all
boats be inspected and guards be
placed on 'he dock to prevent contact
between the longshoremen unil boat
crews.
It was finally decided that the
Council of National Defense would
communicate with Governor Riggs in
reference to securing the funds for
maintaining the quarantine, and that
in the meantime the city council as
sume and tinance the expense; the
two local doctors to look after the de
tails of the quarantine, the lifting of
the ban to be left to the body then
in session.
In compliance with this program
Drs. Council and Chase decided to en
force a ten-day quarantine on the dock
• *
ui .til arrivals fur here, the expense I
of same to be borne by the individ
uals until such time us provision hud
been made by the territory for this
payment. No through passengers or
members of the boats' crews are to be
allowed to land on the dock or come
up town.
People dealring to leave Cordova
may secure a clean bill of health by
going into a prescribed detention for
a period of ten days, they to pay all
expenses.
No boats will be allowed to kind at
the city dork unless by special permis
sion from the health ofticers.
All incoming passengers will be re
quired to have their temperatures
taken twice a day, and the employes
on the wharf once a day.
Crowds are forbidden to congregate,
and the police have instructions to
enforce this rule, and if necessary to
cause the arrest of offenders.
There are at present ten cases of
influenza in Cordova, all of which are
in quarantine.
