The Directoire Gown This Fall

Paris says: Extreme Directoire

erbockers in place of petticoats, the
highest of high collars aud the slim

M argaret Gould, the fashion expert,
in WoMAN's HOME COMPANION for
September.
''New York says: Directore modes?
Yes, but first let us modify them.
The American woman likes to take
her fasions from France, but always
subject to her own ideas. She wan is
to be in style, of course, but she wants

ENJOYS Notorious as "Tightwads"

at the expense of the British ex-
Chequer, and even the liveries of his
retainers come from the public fund.
Yet with this vast sum at their dis
posal, few people live more unpre-
tentiously than the British ambassa-
dor and Mrs. Bryce. Their social rec
ord during the last winter contained
fewer events than any of the immedi-
ate predecessors. Mrs. Bryce gave
about six small afternoon receptions
during the season, when tea and small
confections were served.
There were two large evening
levees, when practically the whole of
Washington's official and social world
was entertained About three formal
and pretentious banquets were given
by the British ambassador during the
winter, ~ 81. F
But little more can be placed to the
credit Of the French ambassador and
Nine. Jusserand, second on the list of
big salaries. M. Jusserand gets $42,-
500 a year, about $4,000 for extra ex-
TCnses. The dean of the corps, the

JINGLE SAM Is getting wise on ole
W point and that is that foreign coun-
tries like to have him send millionaires
as his representatives to their lands
there to spend American gold lavishly
but are disposed to be decidedly
niggardly when it comes to their rep
resentatives spending money in
America.
Secretary Root is credited with be-
ing about to turn this situation to
good account. Mr. Root resents the
position of the foreign governments in
requiring money qualification of an
American ambassador.
OF course what ambassadors and
ministers spend here on private en-
terprises for their governments can
not be reckoned. But their entertain
ments and general mode of living are
an open page. The man who draws
the biggest salary in Washington is
James Bryce, who gets $4,000 annual
ly and an additional $4,000 a year for
contingent expenses. Mr.. Bryce has
one of the finest mansions which the
capital can boast, completely fur
nished with an extra fund to pay for
any necessary repairs or new equip
ment. He has linen, silver and glass

Would Make Work of Mining Safe

There is no such condition here. nor
has the geological survey the right to
impose it. 1t may, however, endeavor
to ascertain the facts by investigation,
and then set them forth for the bene-
fit of mine operators and for the in
formation of state legislators.
Last year 1920 men were killed in
the mines and the year before 2,O61.
The rate for 1906 was 3.34 for every
thousand men employed, while for
1907 it was still greater In four mines
alone nearly 500 men were killed since
last December-356 in the disaster at
Monongah, w. Va, said to be the most
appalling, so far as the loss of life is
concerned, in the history of mining;
rs more in the disaster at the Darr
mine, in Pennsylvania; 32 in the
Naomi mine, in Pennsylvania, and 61
in the Yolande mine, in Alabama.

Even while the railroads are show
ing such fearful losses in earnings,
there is discernable strong note OF
returning confidence in business.
This was one of the factors in the
steady edvance of the stock market
in the latter part fully, resulting in

of last October for many Important

that the country is in the process of
righting itself from the bad upset Of
