SAYS GERMANY is
ARMING FOR WAR

Winnipeg, Man, sept. S.-Lord
Northclffe, owner of the London
Times, in an interview here today pre-
dicted war between Germany and
Great Britain. He said that in the
Krupp gun works alone 100000 men
were working night and day and on
Sundays preparing for war. He said:
~ would make the suggestion, with
all respect to the Canadians who are
investing their money and labor in
constructing railroads and building
grain elevators, that they keep an eye
on European affairs and begin to fig
ure out why it is all the shipbuilding
yards in Germany are busy construct
ing railroads and building yards in
Germany are busy constructing rap
id cruisers and flrst-class battle
ships, and why it is that Krupps were
increasing their hands to over 10O,-
900 men, nearly the population of
Winnipeg.
"They will fight or threaten again
when they think it will pay. Many
people say now that they will fight
Great Britain in the near future and
some have mentioned the year 1912"

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

trimmed with autumn foliage in the
brown shades.
A very practical dress that would
be a great attraction to any ward
robe and is usually simple but fash
ionable in design was made of soft
fine a quality that it closely resem-
bled the wool variety. It's color was
! a delightful shade of old rose. The
neck was cut out to give the open
style now so popular and was filled
in with a pretty soft sort Of lace. A
novel sleeve was used of one seam
| kind and slashed on the lower edge,
showing the beautiful lace sleeves be-
meath. The dress closes in front,
which is one of the greatest recon-
mendations to the women of affairs.
The skirt is cut with the five cores
now so much liked and with an in
verted plat in the back. The sides Of
the panel are edged with lace band
ing of which the belt is made and two
rows pass around the lower edge of
the skirt. The panel passes up into
the waist and on the shoulder are two
very shallow yokes from which
gather portion is attached giving the
necessary fullness.
A model for pongee gown, or one
of linen, which would make a good
shopping suit or be convenient for an
informal luncheon or any daytime
occasion was recently seen. 1t IS
made in one piece and fastens at the
back. The skirt is slightly high !
wasted, has a broad panel in the
front and side-plaited flounce at sides |
and back. The blouse is laid in folds |
on the bias across the body and |
around the arms There is a wide |
turnover collar of heavy embroidery.
The chemisette and stock are of white |
muslin and an elaborate cravat tied |
under the embroidered collar is Of
black satin.
The sleeves are tucked and laid IN
groups Of tucks The hat worn is

band Of black velvet around the
crown and wings of dark green in

The linen dress is always Of use
and it would seem that one could not
have enough of them. One seen lately

New York Fashion Letter by Gather
inc Mann Panzant.

New York, Sept. 9.-The majority
of women do love the shirt waist anc
separate skirt or the shirt-waist suit
hut even in early autumn there are
many occasions when a comfortable
one-piece frock is necessary ano
which gives the effect Of more dressi-
ness and is a grade of two above the
shirt waist effect, and therefore suit
able for the events that do not re-
ouire an elaborate gown and yet need
something more than the semi-prin-
cess gown which may be as dressy
as YOU please and yet can be made
quite plainly and when made fastened
from neck to foot is particularly ad-
apted to the watch goods, for which
there has been a rage since early
spring.
One may not object to the linens
and wash goods on the score that 1t
is late in the season, but these gowns
are now liked we'll even for winter
house dresses, and for the girls at
school they are better than the stufr
gowns and more sanitary. If worn
on the street. as the school girls must,
extra warmth is gained by the outer
garments. Indeed in this country.
where the houses are kept so warm
by furnace heat, the thinner dress Is
better for indoor wear, and when on
the street outer garments may supply
the protection needed.
The semi-princess dress, while pre-
serving the close fit about the hips
that has been the vogue for some time
past. is now with all skirts much full
er at the bottom edge, usually gained
by inserted plated sections or by a
flounce of some sort. A princess dress
that is exceedingly smart and is yet
very simple Of construction closes in
front with round length. The front
underarm, and back cores extend the
full length Of the gown, while the
side-front and side-back cores are
heightened by inserted plated Sec
tions, with the plats turned in box
plat effect There is no break in the
line from the bust down and the fit
over the hips is absolutely correct in
every line. A bolero that ends just
below the bust line and is cut low at
the neck in a fancy outline adds dis
tinction to the frock. The sleeves
are Of lego mutton style, but cut off
Just below the elbow. Two buttons
ornament the point where the plaits
are let in beneath the cores. Buttons
are used on the bolero and on the
sleeves. The edges Of the sleeves and
the bolero which is made in one with
the dress, are finished with a narrow
braided banding. The guimpe is
made of finely tucked net and the un-
dersleeve OF the same. Green ra-
jah was used for such a gown and |
was Of great service to its owner. It |
is a gown that can be worn on the
street during the fall with the additi-
on Of a neck ruff or later a separate
coat A hat that could be worn with
this would be Of dark green straw

to make something of her voice.
1t is only in story books that girls
out of the country walk into the office
of a London manager or agent and
carry everything before them. Violet
Dallas, being armed with good intro
auctions from her singing master to
various powers in the musical world,
managed to get through four inter-
views before she thought of luuch
So, when she had rested and felt
herself sufficiently braced up to try
yet another difficult portal, she took
her courage in both hands, and her last
letter of introduction. and went bodily
off to gentleman in Maiden lane who
was known as having considerable in
fiuence in the halls"
The great man received her with his
hat on.
Il am in a fearful hurry, Miss Dali
las" he said, 81 have got an appoint
ment in five minutes from now-oh,
excuse my hat" and he took it off and
placed 1t on the table beside him. "Oh,
you have brought me a letter-thank
you'll see-yes. Well, now, what can
you do?"
II can talk SONGS" she said, quietly.
"Oh, you can talk songs? Your own

Yes"
sit down and talk to me-" he said.
So Violet sat down to the piano and
talked little French song; and then,
at his request, she showed him what
she could do with an English one.
This is something out OF the COM
mon," said the agent.
YES" said Violet, quietly.
You are in luck's way, young lady"
he said, turning and glancing at the
clock. II am expecting Fordham in
one minute from now; he is always on
time. Will you be nervous of him?'
NO" said Violet. She had not the
least idea who Fordham was, but she

1 am quite well off in that respect.
have plenty of dresses to last me until
1 can make enough to provide my
own"
Well, the long and the short of 1t
was that a week later Violet Dallas
left Pettrington; turned her back upon
the lovely old immortal house, so bad
ly in need of renovation, left the fluffy
haired sisters-who had reluctantly
consented to be despoiled of their maid
and went to London to the house of
her widowed aunt, Mrs. Browne, once
Miss Emily Dallas. Now, Mrs. Browne
was extremely well placed in the world.
We'll, you have come to London to
seek your fortune" she said, as the
two sat at dinner on the first evening.
Eyes, in a sense" replied Violet
Anything is better than sticking
down at Pettrington."
"A sweet place, dear; always
thought it so, but 1 thought so more
when 1 had left it for good. How
those three sisters of yours can stick
down there and do nothing-never lift
a finger, just dress themselves and
flutter in and out like queen bees in
and out of a hive"
without the swarm said Violet,
looking up.
Yes, yes!" And Mrs. Browne
laughed uproariously.
did you meet your husband at Pet
tlington?" Violent went on presently.
81? Why, no, my dear; certainly
not. Nothing went on at Pettrington
when 1 was there-no, we were all too
solemn and dignifed together. I used
to get out of it, and go and stay with
people"
You can't get out of it and stay
with people If they don't invite you,
Aunt Emily" cried Violet. "Why can't
you do your duty by those fluffy little
flowers down there?"
MY duty?" Indignantly
Yes, your duty. You are god
mother to Daisy. She is very pretty
and fluffy and dainty, and If you had
her up here living with you, you would
soon get rid of her. Then you could
take on another one"
"Oh! Then you haven't come up to
live with me?"
mo, certainly not" said Violet "I
am going to make my own way in the
world
Early the following morning Violet
Dallas set out on her quest. 1t was
positively the first time that she had
been alone in London; but, all the same
she knew fairly we'll how to shape her
course. She had not come on a wild
goose chase, having taken care to arm
herself with letters of introduction
from certain gentlemen who might
prove very useful to a girl who wanted

"Of course"
She went in and shut the door
II wanted to have a little talk to
you. 1 have got some money from
your father. He is awfully hard up,
poor dear, but still he has spared us
some. You will be able to have your
dresses all right.
II don't care twopence about my
dresses" said Violet, in ordinary
everyday tones which betrayed no dis
appointment or girlish longing for fall
lals. II want to ask you plain ques.
tion-to put a plain idea in front of
you. 1 was in the library just now
when you were talking to dad. l
really was not listening, but did take
notice of something you said just as
you went out of the room" And she
repeated Mrs. Dallas words.
Ibid 1 say that?" said Mrs. Dallas,
looking startled. "It was really wicked
of me. One ought not to grumble at
the inscrutable ways of Providence,
but sometimes it does seem as if things
were little more difficult than need
be. After all, we had the benefit in
not having to send you girls to public
schools. We couldn't have sent four
of you to Rugby"
mo, dear" said Violet; but is there
any reason why we four girls should
not do something to make less of a
burden to you and dad? The world is
wide, said Violet "why shouldn't we
go out and earn our livings?"
my dear! No Dallas ever did such
a thing"
"Then it is high time that a Dallas
should begin. Think what it will be
we here, living sort of half life, much
more restricted even than 1 can re-
member as a child. Jack will go on
just the same, pottering about among
the farms. leading sort of country
gentlemans life, and getting ready to
fill dads shoes. 1t isn't great aim
in life, mother, for man."
my dear!" said Mrs. Dallas.
IT know. 1t is still less of a great
aim for a woman to hang around, liv-
ing in idleness until some man comes
along to marry her. Horrible, 1 call it"
where do you get your ideas from?"
cried Mrs. Dallas, piteously.
II get them out of common, everyday
thought" Violet replied. "If the men
would come along-lords and dukes and
people-and find us lovely and elegant
inches into which we could gracefully
slip, and show the world what wonder
full people the Dallases are-why, it
would be all well and good. But they
don't come, mother-they don't come"
my dear, we can't keep open house
as we used to do"
"Then are we girls all to stay here

and rot?"
"Violet!"
II said rot" said Violet, land
meant rot. For my part, 1 can con-
ceive nothing so degrading, SO all
round horrible"
"I-but my, dear, what could you
do?"
"Ah, that is the question. If we
were not the Miss Dallases of Pettring-
ton, there are many things we might
do, many positions we could fill with
credit to ourselves and usefulness to
you. We could be-no, we couldn't be
governesses, we don't know enough;
but we could do everything else. We
could go into shops; we could take
places as superior servants; we could
open a tea room somewhere; or we
could start millinery or something of
that kind"
My dear, this is absolute profanity"
said Mrs. Dallas, who, of no particular
family herself, believed firmly in the
sacred traditions of the family into
which she had married.
The tall girl, standing with her arm
on the mantel shelf, laughed outright
1t was not very often that Violet Dial
las laughed, but her smile was beauti-
full, and transformed her tragic face
into one of rare charm.
Scarcely that, mother" she rejoined;
but the question is, What can we do?
The others-I don't think they would be
much good out in the world. They are
sort of little elegancies who need to be
guarded and shielded; but since you
are SO hard up, why can't they do with
out a maid? Why can't you DO with a
housemaid less and let them do a little
in the house? 1t would relieve the
strain very much. You would be able
to entertain more If you had a little
less cost in the establishment"
Yes, that is true"
why shouldn't they, therefore, do
without a maid and look after the lit
tie elegancies of the house-the flow
ers, the china-and lead rather less
completely useless lives than they are
doing now?"
