DETRlMENT TO THE FIGURE
Criticism That May Be Made Of thu
Extra Short Skirt-As to Light
Colored Stockings.

The fashion of wearing light stock
ings with short skirts and black shoes
is one that attracts little attention in
Europe and too much attention In
America. The street crowds always
gaze at q woman who shows several
inches of ankles covered with white
or gray silk stockings, although they
probably would not notice IL the stock
ings we're black.
The objection to these extra short
skirts is that it puts too many abrupt
lines ON the figure between the waist
and the instep. There is a universal
tunic, plated or godet, which cuts the
figure between the knees and the
ankles. Then comes the underskirt,
which is short and narrow, and cuts
the figure in another line just a few
inches below the tunic; and this line
is made more definite by the use OF
white or light-colored stockings which
in themselves, are another dividing
line when they come to the blaci
shoes

MODERN WAR IS MERClFUL
Under Existing Conditions the Wound
ed Are Given a Fair Chance
to Recover Health.

A general impression Is that with
powerful weapons of great precision
greater loss of life and greater pain
are caused. The view is almost GER
tainly inaccurate. The modern bull
let, says the Scotsman, unless 1t is OF
the soft-nosed type, Is on the whole
merciful, and either kills outright or
gives its victim u fair chance OF re-
covery. 1t does not, as rule, mutt
late.
The ambulance corps was practical
ly unknown so years ago. and not
only is aid brought more rapidly to
the wounded, but 1t is far more eff
fective than in the pre.Lister days.
Rapidly OF conveyance has increased
beyond all comparison. In the pres
ent war it is true to say that in many
cases men have been lying in Brit
ish hospital within "a hours of re-
ceiving their wounds. II the risk of
being hit is greater, the chances of
recovery from injury have been in.

MATERIALS AND TRIMMINGS MAY

Attractive Use of Collar, Of Course, IL

1t is entirely permissible to do any
thing one wishes with materials and
trimmings so long as the effect is
pleasing. No fabrics are so contrast
ing that the skilled dressmaker may
not be counted upon to evolve some
thing out of the combination, and, one
may add, that fact alone is sufficient
to stamp the season as an interesting
and peculiar one.
The attractive use of color is most
important and deft touches count for
much. Sometimes the mere introduc.
ton of foreign material, keeping it
to the precise shade of what has al
ready been used, Is sufficient to give a
very obvious note OF distinction to a
costume. For instance, in the after
noon gown here shown willow green

dyed to match. and the trimming is
bands of dark fur.
