Skirts to Be Broader at Hips and

Word from Paris.
FEATHER BOAS FOR EVENING

Special Cable To The Washington Herad
Paris, March A.-Black and white. II
is now said, will be the most correct col
ors for the coming season. Aside from
the filny materials that have already
come so strongly into vogue. there will
be an immense demand for French linens
of the finest and most delicate texture.
But other colors will also be fashion
able. In fact, hardly anything that the
prism reveals under the rays of the sun
will be excluded. In outdoor attire, espe-
cially. extremely picturesque effects may
be expected.
Changeable hues in taffeta will be in
favor. especially red. green, and blue.
Rich toilets may thus have q touch of
primitiveness, remindful of many of the
figures painted by the earlier Renais-
sance masters Nor are navy blue and
cafe-au-lait shades forbidden. Black taf-
feta will be greatly used: and also striped
or checked woods. Into most OF the stuffs
narrow stripes OF pale colors will be
woven. as now.
All skirts will be cut broader at the
hips. but they will still be narrow to-
ward the ankles; then widening to a
slight flare, except in the case of robes
that are made expressly short, of which.
indeed. there is likely to be a greater
number than ever.
Certain dressmakers have sought in
their newest models to force upon their
patrons a skirt bottom which at a little
distance would produce the visual effect
of a fish's tail. The skirt diminishes rap
idly in diameter below the knees. but at
the ankles suddenly flares out in small
rufie-like pleats.
The ridiculous aspect given to many
figures by this sort of outline. however.
will certainly prevent its general adop-
ton. Tho standard skirt Of the season
will present a considerable convexity OF
the vertical line at the sides. and far
greater freedom at the bottom. irrespec-
tive Of the slit, than was afforded by its
recent predecessors. The slit will in very
many instances be behind.
The half-mantle Is the favorite wrap.
Il is often trimmed at the throat with
small ostrich feathers, either black or
suited In color to the damask silk or
woolen material. Bands of passemen-
terie are also used. But feathers, it is
promised, will be almost universal
Feather boas will be much worn in the
evening and hats will be trimmed with
them as diversely as possible and at
novel angles. In many cases they will
radiate horizontally from a point at the

tional purposes then why not use it

not get a maximum rather than a
minimum of service from the thou
sands Of men who daily drive over the
rural mail routes OF the United States?
The postmaster general can, If he
will consult educators, discover how
the rural carriers may render forty
million dollars worth of additional
service to the people of the country.
What the government should seek in
this direction is to get as much value
for, the money expended as possible.
There is no reason why rural car

greedy contractor. Pay him good

worth the price. Permit him to rem
der to the people he serves every aid
which the postal and educational in

sibilities which might accrue to the
people through this service if it is

German Thoroushness.

If there has been any one thing in
connection with the European war
which has impressed itself upon the
universal mind 1t is the thoroughness
and state of perfect preparation which
marks every move OF the German gov
ernment There is no detail so small,
no plan so sweeping, that it has not
been thought of and taken care Of.
1t is characteristic of the German
way OF doing things. Harold Bolce,
authority upon Asiatic and Oriental
markets, says while consular officials
OF other nations I'M China and Japan
look upon their jobs as sinecures, be-
long to clubs and remain at their Of
fees only q few hours a day, the Ger
mans devote little time to social at
fairs, hut work long hours in their Of
fees making out wonderful detailed
reports for German manufacturers and
bankers and jobbers, or spend their
waking hours gathering data for these
reports. Every German consular
agent is a card index of the country
or section of country where he is sta
toned.
Another angle of this German char
acteristic is furnished in the dye in
dustry of Germany. After the war
had cut off the supply OF dyes for this
country an investigation by American
capitalists was made with view to
starting dye factories. The idea has
been abandoned. 1t was ascertained
that the initial cost Of erecting and
equipping plants was almost prohibr
tive, while the employment OF expert
chemists. who know the arts of the
trade. is practically impossible, as
nearly all of them are Germans.
4 Several of the larger dye plants in
Germany employ as many as 300 ex-
pert chemists-and four or five, as
many as 5OO-who do nothing except
experiment and create new types" OF
dyes. One German firm spent $5,OO0,-
900 for q single plant and its equip
,nent and employed $50 expert chem
lists merely to perfect and manufac.
ture one single type" OF dye. It's
result 1t has no rival in the world. Its
exhaustive thor0ughness and prepare
ton has given 1t natural monopoly.
In other words, whatever the Ger
man attempts at all, he attempts with
the determination to excel in it and
to leave no iimperfections. The Ger
man tariff system-as scientific as a
table of logarithms-is an example
as is the German system of municipal
government. No politics, no emotion,
no sentiment, cold blooded system and
perfection to the last detail. 1t has
made perfect German laboratories,
German universities, German CONNER
cial institutions and many factories,
German municipalities, German san
gerbunds and turnvereins. the German
military system, and-who dare pre-
| dict to the contrary-maybe German

Stick to Official Route.

+ Los Angeles, Cal.-It costs just
sos for two people, including the
Pullman birth. to go from Denver to
Los Angeles by train; the trip has
Just been made by motor car for $91
all told. This remarkable economy
record was accomplished by w. II.
Todd and his wife, of Denver, who
drove the 2,G14 miles from the Color
ado capital to San Francisco and Los
Angeles without once spending a
night in hotel between Denver and
tho coast.
From Denver the Todds followed
the Lincoln Highway to Cheyenne,
Wyoming. and to Ogden, but here
they detoured from the official route
and followed the old road around the
north end of Great Salt Lake instead
of following the Lincoln Highway
through Salt Lake City. They en-
countered great difficulty in making
their way across Nevada, and Mr..
Todd. in a statement to the Los
Angeles press, advises all tourists of
next summer to stick closely to the
official route OF the Lincoln Highway
and avoid trouble. He said, "Tell
everyone coming from the East on the
Lincoln Highway to stick to the Off
cial route from Salt Lake City to Ely
and then through Austin and Fallen
to Reno and not to go via the north
end of the lake, for ! believe that it
is the worst road in America" He
goes on tell of the deep ~alkali dust
and the thick, greasy mud encountered
and continues, "The heat, too. was ter

stretch, justly called the great Ameri-
can desert, and the combination OF the
