POCKETS TO BE RESTORED?
Models for Coming Season Seem to
Promise a Return to Sensible
Fashion.

Already a few autumn and winter
models are on view, but the fashions
are tentative only, and one is loa,h
to believe that the forecasts of an
authority who says that the skirts are
to be tighter than ever this winter
will be realized. The re-entry of the

the economic or the financial death
of labor. an abrupt stoppage OF the
hearts action in the national organ
ism of all the nations at war, with
profound reaction on all others-such
would be the consequences of gen
eral confiagration in the present con-
ditions of European civilization"
Similar views are expressed by
Paul Leroy-Beaulieu, one of the lead
ing economists of France. He thinks,
however, that France would suffer
less than other great powers because,
being self-supporting, she always has
at her disposal an immense accumu-
lation of agricultural products of the
previous year on which to draw for a
long period. German would have the
greatest difficulty in obtaining i'm
ports, being cut of by the English
fleets on the one hand and by Russia
on the other.

FOR THE COLLAR OR JAB0G
Those Fashioned From White Net Are
Most Favored and Need Not
Be Expensive.

White net is extensively employed
to fashion many of the loveliest col
lars and jabots worn at present, and
many of the most expensive designs
can be copied by the clever needle
worker.
Purchase a quantity OF white net
and a pattern for a violating turn
down half collar. and place the lat
ter over the net folded double. If the
edge of the collar is straight lay II
along the fold and cut out the mate
rial Neatly join the outer edges. turn
the collar and bind the neck with a
bias strip of net. In each corner EN-
broider a spray of small flowers or
single daisy, and border the collar
with narrow pleated frill OF lace or
net.
To the collar join pleated frills
of net four inches wide, which extend
down the front to the base of the
V-shaped neck line. Fichus OF net are
deep sailor collars with rounded cor
ners with the ends extending to the
waist belt in front These are cut from
a single thickness of net and are Dor
dered with pleated frills of lace or
the same material.
The finely dotted or embroidered
nets are also used for this purpose.
Dainty jabots are fashioned OF
pleated net arranged in two or three
tiers and edged with lace or embroid-
cred scallops.
Net is inexpensive and neckwear OF
this material is a becoming addition
to any frock
This should be incentive enough for
any woman to fashion neckwear for
her gowns.

Basket Flower Holders.

Baskets of light enameled wicker
or dark splints are very much used
as flower holders. They are employed
for cut flowers, or as a "jardiniere"
to cover the pot of a growing plant
An inner receptacle in tin holds the
earth for the growing plant. This
must be well perforated for drainage,
the tin being removed from the bask-
ct for the daily watering and drain
ing.
For cut flowers the basket must of
course contain an improvised holder
for water. and thus basket of flow
ers becomes beautiful decoration for
the home dining table. for church pur-
poses, or for the flower booth at the
bazaar.

or marQuisette. Bordered material is
used for the tunic and old blue char
meuse or plain challis for the blouse
and remainder of the skirt.
There is first a half-length skirt
foundation of messaline or china silk
to which the plain blue lower skirt is
attached. The tunic skirt is pouched
up all around over hip sash of blue
charmeuse that describes a diagonal
line from one side to the other and
ties at the center back in a draped
bow. The portion of the tunic that
hangs below this sash is cut out in
front in a deep V. Two pointed bibs
of the bordered material rise above
the belt in front and in back with the
points tackled up on the blouse.
The blouse has long sleeves open at
the ends and trimmed with white chif-
fon ruffling. A collar and small jabot
of the same fill in the V-neck chat is
formed by the crossing of the blouse
fronts. Blue charmeuse is used for
the girdle. which ties directly in
front.
OF course bordered or figured ma
terials need not be used in the design.
1t should be very pleasing if developed
in plain color and might be made en-
tirely of charmeuse. Taupe color
would look we'll with a girdle and hip
sash of cerise chiffon.
Chiffon sashes and draperies are to
be more used than silk. but they are
cut wide that they may be crushed in
and so not look too scant and trans
parent.

fRlGHTFUL EFFECT OF WAR
What a General Embroiiing OF the
European Powers Would Mean
TO the Nations Involved.

NJ. Jules Roche, former minister OF
commerce of France, has made some
remarkable calculations as to the cost
of an European war. Taking as "a
sis the expenses incurred by France
during the war of 1870. he reckons
that, assuming. for the sake OF exam
pie, that the six nations of the triple
alliance and the triple entente went
to war, the cost of maintaining the
armies alone would work out at no
less than s5,4OO, 100000 month with
out taking into account the other eA-
pensee. Continuing in the Gauiois' ne
says:
"And what would be their internal
condition? The belligerent nations
would be struck with general para
lysis and would see their very means
of subsistence disappear. Suspension
of work would be forced even on
those who we're not included in the
general mobilization, since wnom
