SIMPLICITY IS
PO|RET'S IDEA
IN SPRING MODE
Famous Partisan Designer Has
Imported Artistic Creations
to Atlanta.

The Poiret fashions of to-day ex-
hibit a Moorish influenza slightly
barbaric wholly fascinating Oriental
tendency This is shown in the nu-
merous Poiret waists shown at NJ.
Rich e. Bros. Company this spring.
These are made to suit the figure re-
quirements of American women,
while exactly duplicating those worn
by Parsians.
The Poiret idea is simplicity. He
states that it is banal to attempt TO
create an elegant garment by cover
ing a fabric with innumerable trim
mings. Instead, the fabric must ne
beautiful and the touches carefully
thought and worked out.
II would be hard to describe the I'M
usual colorings of some of the Poiret
waists seen in Atlanta. Perhaps the
material is banded with softly har-
monious blues and subdued puppies.
Or the waist may be a glistening
white, with a beautiful button effect
of a golden yellow, on which is a
cunningly executed rose of red. In
every instance the Poiret waists at
Rich's display a simplicity of cut
which makes them beautiful

about the fabrics used In these waists
which have so delighted Atlanta
women:

athletic function on the part of men
actually engaged in it.
Undulating volume, but loose and
sometimes vapory, nearly always sug-
costing an eDhemeral quality, will
characterize the spring gowns. The
foundation skirt will lose nothing of
Its narrowness, but it will have deep
fiounces, giving something of the eff
feet of crinoline, but also Of great
suppleness.
BustIe Idea Timid.
The insinuating effort to reintro-
duce the once abominated hustle
will continue. slightly more accentu-
ated but still timid and tentative.
Bosoms and shoulders win be more
exposed than before, and instead OF
two thicknesses of stuffs being inter-
posed over nearly all the rest of the
torso, between the eye of the beholder
and the person Of the wearer there
win frequently be but one.

Demand for Dainty
Perfumery Comes
With New Styles
MiIady Should Select That Appro-
pirate for Her
Costume.

The mnaret gowns. the floating dra-
peries of the East, the essentially fem
mime costumes Of the mode, all have
done their part in a revival of the
love OF perfumes.
In reply to this demand, the rarest,
most exotic and luscious of blends are
offered Some are so delicate, so mere
ly suggestive OF perfume, that they are
the mere ghost of sweetness, bringing
memories of old laces treasured for
years, OF the faint bouquet of faded
bridal blossoms.
Others have all the frank. natural
sweetness Of the almond, rose, peach
or apple blossom in full glory of the
spring time. The violet and the lily OF
the valley perfumes need but a drop
to carry YOU to the cool messy beds
on the north side of the old homestead
in the East.
But perhaps the most popular of the
moment are those subtle blends which
are heavy. seusuous. almost deliriously
heavy and intoxicating In their wizardy
of aroma. These are tremendously ex-
pensive. running up to six seven and
even far more dollars an ounce, but for
tunately 1t needs but the veriest sus-
picion OF a touch from the glass stop
per to give clinging perfume that
will last for hours.

Gloves Are offered
In Large Varieties

Returning to the quaint old styles of
different centuries has also had it's in
fiuence on gloves. With evening dress
gloves are not now often worn, they
adding a weight to the arms appear
ance quite out of harmony with the ex-
tremely diaphanous bodice draperies
Only occasionally, with the statelier
velvet or brocade costumes. are gloves
seen.
But more care than ever is being
shown in the choice of afternoon and
evening gloves. and their variety is
simply enormous For morning wear
with the palmer tailored suits the cas-
tor, pique and channels gloves are pop
ular. For dressier affairs the light kid
glove is nearly always chosen. and with
the dainty little bolero and draped
coates, with their short sleeves. gloves
of 20-button length are worn, the wrists
being much wrinkled.
White kid gloves are not nearly as
expensive as it would seem. Some
places you find will clean the short
gloves for cents a pair: generally, how
ever, the charge is 10 or even Is cents,
and this, with the proportionately high
er prices for the long evening Cove,
makes the cost Of immaculate purity
rather high Some women. however al
ways clean their own gloves, and this
is made easier by far II one will but get

EFFECT
MUCH IN VOGUE
FOR EARLY WEAR
New Color Known as Absinthe
Considered Almost as Pop
uIar as Yellow

Closely following the yellow tones
which are prominently used in the
spring styles is a green which IS
known as absinthe. This is utterly
springlike in effect--much like the
freshly opened leaves in the dewy
twilight It is only another Indication
that designers, like lovers, are poets
in the spring.

which appeals to women who desire
tailored modes without too conserved

tnrc to say, which will long be remem-
hered for the great body Of thoughtful
and constructive work which it has
done in loyal response to the thought
and needs Of the country. should
like In this address to review the nOt;,-
BILE record and try to make adequate
assessment Of it, but no doubt we
stand too near the work that has been
done and are ourselves too much part
Of it to play the part of historians to,
ward it.
Moreover, our thoughts are now more
Of the future than of the past. While
we have worked at our tasks OF peace
the circumstances Of the whole age
have been altered by war. What we have
done for our own land and our own
people we did with the best that was in
us, whether Of character or OF intelli-
sence, with sober enthusiasm and Il
confidence in the principles upon which
we were acting which sustained us ut
every step of the difficult undertalS
ing. But it Is done. 1t has passed from
our hands. 1t is now an established
part of the legislation of the country.
Its usefulness, its effects will disclose
themselves in experience. What chief
~ strikes us now. as we look about us
during these closing days of year
which will be forever memorable in the
history of the world. is that we face
new tasks, have been facing them
these six months, must face them in
the months to cOme-face them without
partisan feeling, like men who have
forgotten everything but 4 common
duty and the fact that We arc repre-
sentatives Of great people whose
thought is not of US, but of what Amer
lea owes to herself and to all mankind
in such circumstances as these upon
which We look amazed and anxious.
War has interrupted the means of
trade not only, but also the processes
Of production. In Europe it Is destroy
ing men and resources wholesale and
upon q scale unprecedented and ap-
palling, There is reason to fear that
the time Is near, If it be not already at
hand, when Several Of the countries of
Europe will find it difficult to do for
their people what they have hitherto
been always easily able to do-many
essential and fundamental things. At
any rate, they will need our help and
our manifold services as they have
never needed them before, and we
khould be ready. more fit and ready
than We have ever been.

Urges Systematic Reorganization to
Gain Greater Efficiency.
Before l close may say few
words upon two topics much discussed
out of doors upon which it is highly
important that our judgments should
be clear, definite and steadfast?
One of these Is economy in govern
ment expenditures. The duty of econ
omy is not debatable. 1t is manifest
and imperative. In the appropriations
we pass we are spending the money
of the great people whose servants we
are-not our own. We are trustees and
responsible stewards in the spending.
The only thing debatable and upon
which we should be careful to make
our thought and purpose clear is the
kind of economy demanded of us. l
assert with the greatest confidence
that the people of the United States
are not Jealous of the amount their
government costs If they are sure that
they get what they need and desire for
the outlay, that the money is being
spent for objects of which they ap-
prove and that it is being applied with
good business sense and management.
Governments grow piecemeal both
in their tasks and in the means by
which those tasks are to be performed,
and very few governments are organ
lied, I venture to say, as wise and ex-
perienced business men would organize
them if they had clean sheet Of paper
to write upon. Certainly the govern
