L,oht Envelopes In Germany.

Ever notice that letters received
from Germany are inclosed In thin
envelopes, with colored inside?" re-
marked Curt Wollheim Of Berlin at
the Willard. "The question has fire.
quently been asked me whether this
was because the foreigner demands
something a little fancier than the
people of this country. Not at all. The
reason is that the citizens of Germany,
where most Of the envelopes are
made, are conservationists. The Ger
man double envelope is only half as
heavy as the American envelope OF
equal size. The paper Is very thin.
And this is used primarily to cut down
the cost Of postage. 1t is clever and
attractive envelope There apparent
ly is no demand for such an envelope
In this country. II there should be,
the American envelope makers would
have to get their machinery for max
ing them from abroad. Washington

Army Khaki in DIsfavor.

1t Is not surprising that khaki has
fallen into disfavor with the army. A
uniform made Of this material soon
loses its shape and looks stiff and
shabby. A thorough wetting spells it
entirely. From the department of Min
danao come loud complaints Of the un-
suitability Of khaki for active service
General Pershing declares that 1t
shrinks, does not hold its color, and
feels heavy and hot to the wearer.
Every soldier finds out that khaki has
no pores" Another objection to 1t
Is its use outside the army by every
body who wants cheap and rough
and-ready garment. For the army an
olive drab cotton cloth La to be substi
tuted, a much handsomer and more
