New York, Oct. PA cable dis

Balkan war:
When the sultan of Turkey gave or
ders for army mobilization he sent to

with the following letter;
Ferdinand Effendi: Mobilize il
you like, but be assured that there are
as many soldiers in Turkey as there
are grains of millet in this sack. Now
IL you wish, declare war"

sent a very much smaller sack filled
with tiny grains of most virulent red
pepper of the country. With it went
the following declaration;
Dear Sultan The Bulgarians are
not numerous, 1t is true, but be as

BLOUSE BEAUTY
AT The MOMENT
The Blouse Should Match the
Skirt in Color

New York, Oct. 24.-In spite of many
dismal prophecies to the contrary. the
blouse still goes rejoicing on its tri-
umphant way, and when one realizes
the many uses to which these dainty
little garments can be put and the
gaps In ones wardrobe which they can
be made to fill, there seems no prob
ability at all that they will ever go en-
tirely- out of fashion.
For semi-toilette purposes thew are
exceedingly useful, and the only thing
which is demanded of them at present
Is that they shall match, not in mater
ial, of course, but in color, the skirts
with which they will be worn.
A very charming blouse, intended
for wearing with a plain skirt of bright
saphire-blue charmeuse, is carried out
in chiffon, chosen in the same popular
and brilliant shade, but lightly yelled
with draperies of white esprit net.

sleeves.
The elbow sleeves are finished with
a similar embroidery in white silk, and
arranged to fall over second sleeves OF
black Alencon lace, on which the white
embroideries are repeated with an eff

the case of the belt. same black AMI
white idea is emphasized as the band
itself is formed of jet embroidery,

blouse might also be taken as a model
for an afternoon bodice, and would
look charming in velours chiffon, or in
crepe de Chine, with real lace for the
chemisette and the trimming of the
sleeves.
Some of the new bIouses are made
with long basques, carried out some
times in lace, and sometimes in taffeta
silk, and arranged in such elaborate
designs that it is really difficult to diff
ferentiate between them and the smart
little coats which will be worn at home

Lillian Russell Says That the Tall
Woman is the Really Beautiful Article

New York, October 22-Lillian Rus
sell, herself considered the foremost
q: American beauties, has just given
out an interview in which she praises
the tall woman and fiatters them up
on the carriage their stature permits.
'If l were tall l would proudly
throw my shoulders back, head up,
and be thankful" says Miss Russell.
Artists never paint small women;
trey always select women of height
for models. Or if no tai models are
obtainable, they take thin little mod
els and proportionately enlarge the
picture from them. So you see tall
women are really superior.
mo woman is too tall to be beautiful
or graceful in evening gown, tailor
made, or even in a bathing suit If
the tall women would realize what
pains the little women go to to add a
few inches to their appearance, they
would be glad that they did not have
TO lace in their hips, wear painfully
hlsh-heeled shoes, highly built hats
and extra-long dresses with straight
lI.es, regardless of the current fash
iuns.
They would look blissfully down
from their higher sphere of vision and
smile contentedly. 1t is something to
be looked up to, if only physically.
OF late there has been much dis
cussion on the subject of feminine
perfection. An eminent Boston ply
stefan has recently declared that tc
| re considered physically perfect a
woman must abandon for all time her
false hair, hobble skirts and other
modes of dress.
"The doctor furthermore declares
that the strictest attention must be
given to the diet, sufficient sleep must
be had, and he also lays down a
score or so of other rules for the
health, all of which must be adhered
to IL one would become perfect wo-
man"

II you are anaemic, you need more

de Chine and in charmeuse. Regarded
as blouses, they will be very useful ad-
ditions to the toilette, and when they
are arranged with basques that reach
almost to the knees, and worn with
skirts of the same color, they cannot
fail to prove becoming. In a great
many cases these blouses are beauti-
fiel by the introduction of collar of
real lace, which gives a cachet of dis
tinction to the whole dress.
