THE COUNTRY ABROAD AND LITTLE AMERICANS" AT

CRAFTSMEN. scholars, press and - people of the whole world are
 praislug the United States for the high standard the government has set for itself in it's conduct of foreign at- fairs. yet there are those at home that arc doing their uttermost to deprive ,heir country of deserved credit for it's course. Rather than that their country should be known among peo- pies as one that is TOO strong. too hon. est and too unselfsh to do wrong, they would aatter the jingoists of oth- CT Nations by having 1t believed that we have done what we have through criugiug cowarGlce. Through hope of political advantage they are fouling the nest of the American eagle by at. tempting to descredit their own coun. try abroad.
 However. the enlightenment of the age is such that these little Ameri, cans will fail in this as they have fail, ed at home in their other undertak' ngs. So paIpobly uupatriotc has been the course of those who have prated about lack Of courage" etc. that even foreigners have come to the defense Of American integrity for the purpose of stilling the braggarts who would boast of bringing the United States to terms.

The Care of Shoes.

TO prevent shoes from creaking put a
small quantity of linseed oil on
plate or shallow pan and stand the sole
of the shoe in it for a few hours. The
creak Will disappear and the shoe will
also last longer on account of this treat
ment. To soften leather there is nothing
so penetrating and softening as heats
foot oil. 1t will enter where other oils
will not make surface impression.
By proper care you can make rubber
overshoes last much longer. After wear
ing them, while they are still damp, do
not place them near a fire to dry, as the
heat will crack and draw them up. II
they are cut, they can be neatly mended
with a piece Of thin rubber placed on the
inside with a lite glue. such as is used
for bicycle tires When they begin to
look old and rusty they may be restored
to the original black by applying a little
vaseline or sweet Oil with a flannel cloth.
Always keep them in cool, dry place.
If rubber boots wear out at the feet,
they may still be made quite useful by
slipping pair of snug-titting rubber
shoes over them. To dry rubber boots
quickly put a couple of quarts Of oats
in a baking pan and heat in the oven.
When very hot pour it into the boots and
let stand until they are dry, which will
be in about an hour.

Inspiration From STAGE.

WHO would have thought, ten or fif-
" teen or twenty years ago. of taking
inspiration for her clothes from one and
every garment she saw on the stage?
But today there is hardly a play that
cannot be made suggestive, in its cos
tuning, to our clothes.
We see play the scene of which is
laid in the orient. The orient has had
much to do with the fashion of the day.
So we take note Of a girdle here, a bit
Of drapery there, and remember these
things when we order our next new
frock.
Perhaps the play we see is historical.
There have been several successful colo
NAL plays this season. So have our
clothes shown the influence of colonial
styles. Therefore we look with interest
on the fowered silks, the panniers, the
frills at neck and sleeves and the dainty
slippers.
What is really startling is the way we
look at the costumes Of the chorus In
the musical fantasies. These costumes
were once anything but practical. In
they are practicable. They hold sugges-
tions for our own clothes
The stage OF the day can produce start
ling clothes: to he sure it can, and does
But SO can the fashionable ballroom or
tearoom or avenue. The audience at the
theater. as well as the players, wear
clothes that would have made our grand
mothers Shudder.
But we are used to it all and we look
at the clothes on the stage with a prac-
ticed and practical eye. We CLEAN from
them many suggestions for the seam
stress that we have in by the day to fol-
low when she makes our next 25-cent-a-
yard frock.

takes in the seams of the loose and
haggy blouse. in places, and fits over
the sleeves a little-and the result is
the cd lest onglomeration Of old and
new styles that was ever devised.
Thus the home dressmaker goes
along.
When short skirts are in style. hers are
always a little too long to be smart.
When skirts are meant to be long she
carefully lops hers off. When blouses
bag hers are little snug and now that
fitted bodices may come in style hers
will probably blouse a little-just a
little: just enough to keep them from
being extreme, you know.
These faults are no more likely to be
found in the woman who must make
her own clothes-or who chooses to
make them-than in the dressmaker
who comes to work by the day. We
all know the dressmaker-conscient
soul. that she is-who insists on put
ting one more breadth in the skirt she
is making than the patterns allow so
that in case skirts grow fuller next
year yours Will be in style; who c1ings
to boned Innings long after they are
thing of the past because she has been
trained to think them essential who
always modif1es the fashions of the
future with the fashions of the past.
She Is even harder to counteract than
the inborn tendency to cautiousness
on ones own part.
x \
The theory of a woman editor of a
woman's magazine that sounds the last
word in fashion is a good theory for
the home maker Of clothes to take to
heart. 1t is this:
If you attempt to keep up with fash
ion at all, make use of the new details
when they are new. For instance, get
suit cut on the new lines now. in
stead of buying suit left over from
last autumn now and then buying a
spring suit in August. There are lots
of persons who are wearing minaret
tunics now who wouldn't think of
wearing them when they were new
Not that they objected to minaret tun-
1cs-they objected to the fact that they
were new.
There are many women who go
through life rather oblivious to the
everchanging styles. They adopt and
adapt the fashions to their own needs
and liking. Minaret tunics, slashes
bust1es and pantalettes-these do not
interest them. For such women the
making of clothes at home has few pit
falls: Beautiful clothes, highly fitting
to the uses of their wearers. can be
made-with due regard to harmony of
line and color, and suitability of style,
but with little fear of the extremes of
modern fashion.
But the woman who is fascinated by
the slash, yet afraid Of it, interested in
the hustle, but desirous of putting it
Off until other persons have tried it
out-she Is the woman who should take
these words to heart.

Notes ON Fashion Ideas

that one becoming to every type of face
can be found.
For the young girl nothing prettier for
summer wear could be found than a hat
| made of figured chiffon mounted over a
wire frame. Tie strings of velvet that go
either under the chin or under the hair
give character to such hat.
Black lace collars are seen on some of
the evening frocks of white or light col
ored silk and satin. They have much
dignity, perhaps not quite in keeping with
| some of the present styles. but good, new
ertheleSS.
Net embroidered with beads of colored
glass, rhinestones, jet beads and tiny
sequns of metal is much used. Some
times it forms the whole bodice of a
frock. sometimes it is introduced to give
| an interesting touch to the bodice.
Tulle sleeves are much in evidence
Long tulle sleeves are worn on afternoon
frocks-sleeves that reach well over the
hands. On evening frocks, even when
| there are no sleeves there is often little
bow of tulle made of a strand of the
material wrapped about the arm. These
tulle sleeves are very attractive. Some
on the evening frocks are long and flow
ing, held in at the wrist only by a band
| of rhinestones, jewels or velvet.
| Gold lace is a good deal used on some
| of the new evening frocks. 1t is a sea-
| son when much lace can be safely used.
| Whole frocks of black lace appear for
evening wear, and lace blouses are worn
with the new street suits for afternoon.
A good many of the new skirts have
shown silhouette which srongly sub
| sests the Turkish trouser. But upon
J examination the effect is shownnfo be

ARIS can never get away from black
r and white, and this year the magpie
4 combination Is often seen. 1t Is al
ways a good choice. especially for the
woman who realizes that she is not an
adept at combining colors. This Is noth-
ing to be ashamed of, but something TO
be acknowledged and coped with wisely.
It may be a sort of color blindness and
need not be necessarily lack of taste
Black and white are always sure to har-
monize with each other, and, besides,
they are always smart when used to-
gether.
One of the interesting developments OF
the spring styles Is the blouse OF chii-
fon or crepe de chine which shows lit
tie tucked vest of organdy or linen with
r. folding or fiaring organdy or linen col
lar. The use of handkerchief linen with
chiffon strikes one as a little heavy at
first, but the combination is really at
tractive.
Fruits are used on some of the new
hats, A certain red and yellow apple IS
especially popular. 1t appears on many
smart hats Of simple shape. Sometimes
It ia placed on q band of ribbon about
the crown, sometimes it stands above the
crown on a wired stem.
Small fruits, like the tiny chiffon and
satin flowers, can now be bought in those
fabrics by the yard. Like the ribbon
flowers, these fruits are used to trim
evening frocks. neglfges, boudoir caps and
thin blouses.

If America gets it. the women will wear

Attractive as is the ma jority of Roman
stripping, there is serious danger of its
being overused. Its vivid coloring has
made the same appeal to the public as
did the Balkan coloring. and it may share
the same fate. Each house in Paris uses
it largely; Cheruit makes a tunic of it
over short satin petticoat; Poiret makes
an apron top and loose blouse of it, to
build out Spanish brown ponsee Ber-
nard uses it in taffeta frocks, Duse uses
it in yellow. brown and blue as a short
jacket to yellow skirt, and so it goes.
There is no more getting away from
Roman stripping than there is from tat
feta and gaberdine. Over here the
readymade hats are made of il i'll silk
and there are accessories by the dozens.
such as girdles. handbags, rolling collars
and even stockings, to be found on every

There is also danger in the coloring
An artist in dyeing can produce a good
result. but. unfortunately. every one is
not an artist in this line of business and
some crudities have been put on the mar
ket that should have been consigned to
the waste heap
The Roman silks that have been made
at Lyons arc wonderfully good. The col
ors are admirable and the spacing of the
stripes is pleasing, But woman should
regard we'll her figure in the mirror be-
fore she INDUCES in even these stripes.
A whole suit of red. blue and brown
stripes may look exceedingly well on a
reed and walk like leopard. but it will
surely look atrocious on an older woman
who has allowed her appetite to over
come her vanity.

I and the back of the neck and arranged
into a French twist the length of the

| ty-five years ago.
The full skirt, after the Persian fash
| ion. has not much chance of success. l,
| Is fantasy which only accentuates 3
| modern movement. and this is always
, the part that fantastic things play. II
| is in evidence that the dressmakers are
striving to bring back the full skirt. but
whether they succeed or not is another
story.
The oriental skirt. which is more COM
monty called the harem skirt. although
II is worn by men as well as women in
| the east. has good start. for it is ex-
plotted al moment when women desire
compromise between the fiaring widths
that change the silhouette entirely, and
the very narrow sheath skirt that out
lines the figure. There is no special rea-
son for calling this skirt by an oriental
name. One might just as well call it a
Dutch boys trousers, for it is much the
same thing and embodies the same idea.
1t has none of the inconveniences of
the full skirt that flares away from the
figure at the ankles and is the plaything
of every wind that blows.
Women are not averse to showing a
good looking pair of shoes and smartly
covered ankles, because the hosiery and
shoe men have aided their vanity to such
an extent that the feet have become as
conspicuous as the head. and with the
long harinS skirt there will be small
chance to exploit the latest innovation
in shoes.

Napoleon's day. The Roman stripping. is
strongly reminiscent of the directolre.
