tits matter of more than passing in
terest that the French infantry uni
form, made familiar all over the world
by paintings of famous artists, is to be
changed, says the Chicago Tribune. The
baggy red trousers are to 60 out. The
French ministry has decided that they
make too good targets for German or
other sharpshooters. The "piou-piou,
as the French infantry man has been
affectionately called, was as much
landmark of Paris in his blue jacket
and baggy red trousers as the Arc de
Triomphe or the Madeleine. The gay
capital will be sadly changed when the
legs of it's defenders are incased in some
thing more inconspicuous. La Presse,
of Paris, mourns the loss of the gay
plrmage, saying: I'm depriving our
soldiers of their red trousers Gen. Andre
has deprived them almost of their ex-
cuse for existence. To deprive an
army of its distinctive signs is to show
that he wishes to attack it in It's vital
principle" Although the Presse in its
excess of despair exaggerates the case
when it argues that the change almost
deprives the army OF its reason for ex-.
istance. and certainly strikes a blow at

utility purposes. They har-
monte with any skirt, are universally
becoming and clean admirably. Recog-
nizing all this, the makers put their best
efforts into the desiging and making of
the white blouse, and the variety of its
forms is really bewildering.
The long shoulder line is, of course, the
keynote of the blouse, as of all modish
bodices, and the voluminous and whim-
steal sleeve of the season is found in
the blouse: yet many Of the blouse
sleeves maintain certain severity, be-
cause they are to be worn under tailor
coats, and the tailor coat sleeve has not
swelled to huge proportions, like the
sleeves of more elaborate coats and
wraps.
For the house blouse such considera-
tons are nonessential, and here fantasy
may run riot in sleeves, berthas, hchus,

White chiffon is the material for many
Of the most attractive house blouses
and the models are indescribably dainty.
One that merits especial mention is cut
in surplice form and may be worn either
slightly low at the throat or with little
transparent guimp and collar.
A line of narrow valenciennes edges
all the little frills of sleeves and sur
plice, but the distinctive feature of the
model is the pointed design of leaves In
soft greens and browns which runs down
each side of the surplice folds.
Hand painting is seen upon many OF
the imported blouse models, not only in
chiffon, but also in satin, silk and even
velvet, and one Broadway firm is show.

Dead and Down Timber,

The report of Simon Michelet, Indi-

the dead and down timber at that
place has been received at the interior
department. Agent Michelet estimates
that there are from 2O,O0O,OO0 to 3d.
900 feet of dead and down timber on
the reservation, of which Is per cent
is white pine and the remainder Nor
way.
The timber is reported to be in
good condition, and if logged this
winter Agent Michelet says it will
probably bring the same price as
standing timber, but if allowed to
lay, he reports that it will depreciate
in value. The agent asks that he be
authorized to dispose of the timber,
stating that it will give employment
to the Indians.
