Flounces Return
to Fashion List
Decoration Serves to Give
More Interesting Touch to
Straight Frock.
The Spanish influence, which plays
«uch un luiporlupt purl In the mode*
of the hour, shows uiimlaiukiilily in un
lnlervstlng model. Nut alono Is Km
color that vivid allude of red ho appro-
priately named eustilluu, but In line
and In lla use of luce It reveals lla In-
spiration.
I1'rock a of this type ure shown attain
by the beat designers and that their
vogue Ih estuhllshed la proved by the
number of smartly gowned women one
sees wearing them. The flounce,
whether alugle, double or triple, has
returned to fashion and servea to give
a more Interesting aspect to the
straight little frocks of yesterday with-
out disturbing the slim silhouette that
ts the keynote of present modes.
One populur model Is an appealing
exponent of the vogue for simple lines
and unobtrusive details. While the
original is very expensive, since It
conies from the gulona of u couturier
known Internationally, It is not a dif-
ficult model to copy and muy he re-
produced by the little seamstress.

Flounces of Black Chantilly Lace.
slip, very short as are all the new
frocks, and with two gathered flounces
of black chuntilly lace. The narrow
streamer ties on the shoulders and
long ends reach almost to the bottom
of the skirt, nnd there Is also a nar-
row string sash.
Coral color nnd cream lace or peri-
winkle blue with silver ure other color
combinations which would he equally
attractive for a frock of this type.
Costumes of Blue
At the beginning of the season It
was rumored that navy blue wag to
be conspl nous by Its ahsen<«< from the
modes of spring. But fashion runs
true to form, nnd knowing that no
spring Is complete without Its youth-
ful and becoming costume of blue wit
red, has Introduced several charming
and Inter* itlng versions of this most
popular scheme.
I Charming Individuality
Expressed in This Hat
The large hat with brim that nar-
rowe at front and rear ie one of the
pleaeing modes of the season. Thie
hat, made of black hair, with black
satin trimmings, will appeal to women
who love large hats.
Nightrobes and Other
Dainty Things to Wear
The necklines of nightrobes are va-
ried. A much favored line Is the
bateau, which Is usually tied on the
shoulder* with smart little ribbon
hows. Slrlctly tailored types have
hemstitched hems, ami n very simple
hand embroidered motif. There are
others with narrow pipings In con-
trasting color. This Idea Is exempli-
fied In a gown with square neckline,
and tiny sleeves pin-tucked at both
edges so that they puff In the middle.
The same pln-tucklng runs across the
front of the garment.
Elaborate teddies show edges of real
vulenciennes or hlnehe lace nnd or-
nate fll tire, or cut v/ork. Georgette
in matching rolor makes the hordpr
anil inserts In some sets, where It
takes the place of net. A novelty Is a
black chantllly lace. This features
the two-piece set, which Is preferred
to the one-piece combination.
Costume slips are vpr.v straight and
short, and designed to fit so accurately
that they require no draw ribbons.
Negligees ure largely of coat style,
with borders of marabou or folds of
contrasting colors. Plaited puffing
makes a smart finish for a tailored
robe of ten rose crepe satin lined In
yellow, and some fine laces like uleti-
cons or innrgot tire featured on other
robes of simple lines.
Enchanting Dinner Gown
Departs From Satin, Crepe
An enchanting dinner gown which
departs from the fushlonnhle satins
and crepes Is made of white itious-
seline de sole ull In one piece, and is
embroidered with a delicate all-over
pattern In peurls, silver und rhine-
stones. An appearance of drapery Is
attained with n large motif of the
Jeweled trimming placed low In front
to hold the muterlul slightly Into full-
ness below the line of the hips.
Gold and silver are much- used In
both black and white. Some of the
gowns elaborated in this manner are
magnificent. A few are regal, with
costly Jeweled passementeries overlap-
ping hands of gold nnd silver, some-
times used merely ns n background.
I.urge oriental and fnntnstlc designs
are embroidered In silver nnd gold
threads on evening gowns nnd wraps,
giving an effect quite ns fanciful and
ornate as neeillpwork from the Far
East. It Is not unusual to see strips
of gold embroidered all over In rhine-
stones und applique In different ways.
Fashions for Brides
of Spring and Summer
While most of the new wedding
gowns are made with long sleeves,
those for an evening wedding are seen
with lore sleeves half sleeves, or
none. One rarely sees gloves, though
a few follow a late Parisian fad In
drawing long gloves which wrinkle
over n tight sleeve.
A very young bride claims the priv-
ilege of wearing something less formal
than satin, plain or brocaded. In this
type of dress enchanting things have
been designed by the most prominent
artists. Gowns of sheer material, chif-
fon, georgette, net, crepe, are all
shown nmong the latest model*.
Beaded gowns are still very good, and
lace Is lavishly used.
A one-piece frock of georgette, em-
broidered In heads. Is a thing of cling-
ing loveliness, presented by Paul Caret
In one of Ida most original models for
an evening wedding. The skirt bus
the new slightly lifted line In front,
where It Is fastened hy an ornament
of pearls and brilliants, repeated In ef-
Shoe Styles
Shoes of pump Shape are those most
popular for spring and recently Intro-
duced nre the ankle straps which are
worn with pump-shaped shoes. Suedes
nre passing and satin again Is i. lead-
ing shoe fabric. I.lght tuns and*grays
are shown In all the shops, and two-
tooed shoes of blending shades nre
shown for street wear. For dress
wear there are brown satins which are
several shades deeper than the blond
ahades which were popular this sea-
feet by large motifs of embroidery on
the ends of the train, which is formed
of three narrow scurfs of satin. The
bodice Is moderately decollete, the
sleeves very short, and long mous-
q net a I re gloves are worn. This bride
will wear n crystal-edged veil of tulle
covering her fHce, this fashion still
being fuvored by the conservative.
A revival of the styles of the ’00s
Is seen In some attractive wedding
costumes-wide skirt, tight bodice, un-
dersleeves, little lace-frilled nosegay
nnd all. The Inter cqtiully quaint
style of a skirt raffled from WHlst to
hem, and short enough to agree with
the mode of the moment, has n baby
wulst nnd tiny puffed sleeves. This Is
nn engaging little frock for a bride
of eighteen.
Tailored Chiffon Frock*
Among Spring Favorites
One of the outstanding phases or
the .notit .f spring h the use of ehlf-
fon and similar fabrics In fashions
that are distinctly tailored In appear-
unce. The popular little two piece
model that might he said to dominate
the styles of the present '.cuson has
recently uppeared In a totally different
guise. Trim and tailored In line with
Its loqg tight or peasant sleeves and
It* skirt with an Inverted plait in
front It retains all the practical quali-
ties of a Jersey frock but has a cer-
tain femininity about It that Is most
engaging.
The distinctive feature of these tai-
lored frocks of georgette Is that In a
number pf rases they are fashioned of
two thicknesses of the material. This
does away with the transparent effect
and brings out the becoming quallt
of the fabric.
(lac MilUm’s
Rubber Boat Devised for MacMillan Expedition.
(Prepared by the National Geographic So.
clety, Washington, D C.)
i QUIPPED with two genii of mod-
I j ern Invention, the uirplnne and
| \ the radio, the MucMilhtn Arctic
expedition under the auspices of
the Nutlonal Geographic society, with
the nctlve co-operation of the nuvy,
will uttempt to explore the earth's
largest remaining “blind spot," un un-
known million square miles between
the Aluskun peninsula and the North
pole. Amphibian airplanes, capable of
landing on water, Ice or limit will he
taken hy ship to Ktali, northern
Greenland, within 700 miles of the
North pole, und front there und sup-
plemental bates will fly over tremend-
ous areas either wholly unexplored or
practically unknown.
The major objective, the region be-
tween Alaska nnd the pole, one-third
the area of the United States, has
never been seen by a human eye. It
Is considered possible that It holds a
hitherto unknown continent, and It Is.
probable that some sort of Innd ex-
ists there.
The existence of this land Is pos-
tulated on reports of explorers who
have skirted the edges of the unknown
area, und of observations of tides nnd
Ice conditions along this fringe, which
conditions Indlcute the existence of
land.
Should such land exist It will be of
great future economic Importance In
view of the commercial flying that, In
years to come, will be done across the
Arctic region.
The combination of nlrcrnft and
radio In Arctic exploration Is a new
feature of exploration, which not only
adds romance und adventure to tl(e
undertaking, hut which enhances the
scientific value of the expedition.
In Summer and Daylight.
Hitherto our Information about the
Far North lias been from explorers
who had to penetrate it In winter,
when the Ice was continuous; summer
flying makes possible observations of
entirely different conditions, with 24
hours of daylight to nld the flyers.
This same dnyllght, however, ns
radio fans will realize. Is a handicap
to broadcasting, because night time Is
radio time. The use of the new short
wave length apparatus, under these
conditions. Is an experiment which
will he of vnlue to the new science of
wireless communication.
Upper air temperatures In the Far
North are nlmost as little known ns
the million square miles which may
shroud a long-hidden continent. Sum-
mer records of these conditions not
only will have a value to future flying
but may linve n direct bearing on
weather forecasting.
Forecasting weather consists largely
In detecting new disturbances ns they
show up on the western nnd north-
western borders of the United States,
learning their characteristics, and fig-
uring out the pnths they probably will
follow because of prevailing baro-
metric pressures and temperatures
ahead of them.
The great majority of what the
weather foreeuaters call the “lows"—
that Is the areas of subnormal
barometric pressure—seem to originate
over the warm sea south of the Aleu-
tian Islands In the winter, nnd over
tlie Interior of Alaska during the Hum-
mer. But some of the conditions
which cause these “lows" to he "(milt
up" In those pluces and create "highs"
to the cast have their birth farther
north In the Polar regions, and a bet-
ter knowledge of temperatures, pres-
sure and wind changes there undoubt-
edly would facilitate weather forecast*
Ing.
In the search for the beginnings of
Its weather the United States Is not
concerned with the entire Polar re-
gions. It Is most concerned. It hap-
pens. with the unexplored territory
which lies north of Alaska.
Temperatures, pressures nnd wind
condition*)—the vital weather factor*
—are not known In the regions north
from Alaska to the pole. Explora-
tion of this area Is a preliminary to
making detailed observations of these
conditions which directly affect farms
and orchards of the United Stntes.
Plans for the Expedition.
Etah. the mnln Imse of the expedi-
tion—the northernmost settlement In
the world—lies near the northwestern
eoraer of Greenland at the head of
Raffin bay where narrow Smith sound
begins. Directly across Smith sound
to the west U«s Kllsmere Island, th^
S
northern pnrt of which Is known as j
Grunt Land. This land mass Is an ex-
tensive region Itself. From the south-
ern tip of Ellsmere Island to the north- !
ern tip ot Grunt l.und is u distance
equal to that from Chicago to Mem-
phis. while the. greatest width, east
and west. Is about that across the
state of Illinois. West of Ellsmere Is-
lund, across a narrow sound, Is Axel
llelherg Island, nlmost ns large as
Vermont and New Hampshire com-
bined. At Cape Thomas Hubbard, the
northern tip of Axel Heiberg island,
the MacMillan expedition will estab-
lish Its supplemental base for the ex-
ploration of the great unknown area
north of Aluskn. Fuel, oil nnd sup-
plies will be relayed from the ship nt
Etah to Cape Hubbard. 250 miles
away, und when all is In reudlness, the ;
plunes, fitted with extra fuel tanks,
will take off from this base nnd fly
out over the Polar sea to the west, ns
Ignorant of what lies before them as
was Columbus when he sailed out Into j
the Atlantic.
From Cupe Hubbard to the center j
of the great unknown aren Is, rough- j
ly, 000 miles, which will make a total
of 1,200 miles to be covered by the
planes. It is hoped that the extra
fuel tanks will permit the planes to
cover this distance In a continuous
flight. If Ice conditions ure favorable,
other attempts may he made north
und south of this direct line, thus
eliminating thousands of square miles
of unknown nreu from the maps of
the world today. Food will be tnken
In the plunes for several days of ex-
ploration of nny lands that may be
found In this nreu.
Following the return to the ship nt ]
Utah, other trips will he attempted
north to the center of Ellsmere Island
nnd Grant Land to Cape Columbia ut
the edge of the Polnr sen, where
Peary’s record Is to be found, stnting
thnt he reached the North pole on
April 0. 1009.
To Visit Greenland Ice Cap.
The greut Greenland Ice cap, 500,000
squnre miles of area, offers another
field for exploration by plane. It Is
supposed to reach a height of about
100,000 feet. No one has ever visited
that pnrt of the Ice cap between 70
and 80 degrees north latitude, the
center of which Is, roughly, 340 miles
from Etnh. This will mean a continu-
ous flight of 080 miles, which cun be
accomplished In about five hours. The
condition of the Greenland Ice cap Is
such, however, that the planes should
have no difficulty In making a land-
ing every few minutes.
The MacMillan expedition will be-
gin Its explorations even before reach-
ing the Etah base on its trip north.
The ship will put Into Jullanehaab In
southern Greenland, to permit mem-
bers of the pnrty to study the ruins
of the old Norse settlement that was
founded In Glut neighborhood In the
days of Erik the Bed. some 1,500
years ngo. Another stop will he made
nt Godthnnb, 200 miles fnrthcr north,
where slmllnr ruins will he Inspected.
At the conclusion of Its explorations
from the Etah and Cape Hubbard j
bases, the expedition will start Its {
ship south on the return Journey, hut
will make additional explorations en |
route. From a station on Bylot Is- i
land the planes will tly over Baffin
Island, one of the most Interesting
lands In the North, some 000 miles !
long, 200 miles wide, and yet anex j
plored, although It was discovered In
nhout 1500. On the maps of today I
there lire a few lakes. The Eskimos I
state there are thousands and thou-
sands of lakes In the interior of tills
great land. I
Farther south the |inrty will pause
ngalti lit Its Journey homeward to
make airplane observations over the
Interior of northern Labrador, which
Is practically unknown. Search will
he made for ruins of buildings suid
hy the Eskimos to have been built loug
ago hy a strange people who came In
from the sea In open boats without
masts und without sails. These may
he ruins of Norse settlements. Infor-
mation gathered on the northward
trip at the old Norse settlement of
Greenland will he used In an effort to
determine the origin of the Labrador
ruins.

tobacco trade last year. Revenue from
tobacco taxes, notably from cigarettes,
has been steudlly Increasing for many
