AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

In thinking back over the many diff
ferent styles of seasons past it is
difficult to recall any that so readily
lent themselves to processes of making
over as do those of this year. There
are any number of dress designs that
can be successfully made up with the
materials of two old dresses or with
that of one combined with a couple of
yards of new goods. The skirt of an
old dress will usually make the tunic
OF new one, while it takes but very
little added material for a narrow un-
derskirt and bodice.
The sketch is a splendid example, al
though primarily the design had not
been intended for makeover.
Shoulder straps that resolve them
selves into a basque-like hip yoke are
cut from black satin The back is just
the same as the front with the eXcep
tion of the tiny folds of fullness held

Special Correspondence Of Tie Star
NEW YORK, December c.-There is
50 much talk among the American
dressmakers that the subject is lmpor-
tant. Many of those who are IN the
business of making and selling clothes
would like to know what the new year
Will bring forth. and naturally their
minds turn to the historical way IN
which war and politics have always IN
fuenced fashions
VIII thew do so this time. and when?
The first part of that question Is cas-
iIv answered by the dressmakers mere
and in Paris, who, by the way nave
reopened their houses and hope 10 con-
1rol the American trade In January
and February. The last part is unan-
swerable All replies to it are merely
guesswork.
The majority think that We shall see
a we'll defined military impulse IN all
garments by the first of the year. out
those who have studied the effect OF
var on tie output of clothes for
women are firm in their conviction that
We shall not get the full sweep of war
STYLES until the cry goes out, cease
firing."
This was certainly true of the fashion
impulses after the series of Napoieonlc
wars, after the Prus.ian victory over
France and after the late Balkan con-
tiicts and those of the Italians against
the Turks 1t was when peace was de-
clared that the style makers rusheo
INTO the military garments.
This designer gives as the reason ior
this feeling among the nations oil tne
world concerning war and fashion that
the Immediate use Of styles suggestive
of the battlefields is repusnant TO the
woman who is directly in touch with
the carnage caused by military action,
and that she wants to forget all about
il if she can, and not be reminded OF
ii on every side by the clothes women
wear. To her the Belgian cavalry
Jacket is bitterly connected with the
dead and the wounded. and the saucy
cap of the Scottish Grays is the signal
for flow of tears when sne reheHi.
bers Ypres The whole thing is too
narrowing, too near to our hearts ana
svmpathies. too interviewer with our
every breath today for US to gladly es-
pouse the clothes that are taken from
those dust and blood-stained uniforms.
That is expert opinion from stu
dent of war and fashion.

And Yet We Wear Martial Clothes.

notwithstanding the seeming sound
ness of this reasoning, there Is no
doubt that details of military uniforms
are creeping up here and there in every
other costume one sees. The popular
use of dark blue. the incoming fash1on
for shorter coats slightly nipped IN at
the waist, the extra short skirt with
the long cloth gaiter or boot top. the
killed short skirt with the straight
velvet jacket fastened in front, the
hand the doubIe-breasted topcoat with
lines of braid across it, ending IN
frogs-what are all these but dennlte
tendencies that show designers turning
To the war for new suggestions!
True. these touches are not universal.

A beautiful and most gorgeous even
ing gown has been sketched here with
da rk green satin as a foundation. over
which is hung an overdress of gilt net
crossed by bands of gold braid with
tunic of rich gilt lace. Large gilt but
tons trim the sides and front where
two ends of the braid tipped with gilt
tassels depend. The general effect of
this gilt overdress through which
shows the rich green of the satin un-
derbody must be seen to be apprecia-
ted and the pliable net is particu-
Iarly happy choice for an overdress on
these semi lifted lines.

The Seasons Fads.

Very beautiful is muff of tailless
ermine, with a band of civet cat in the
center. The tie that matches the muff
is quite small and has rounded ends
passed through a loop of the dark and
curiously marked fur. In another form
of muff. in this case a black one, we
see two envelope flaps hemmed with
striped black and white fur and note
that the lining of the muff is black.
This is really utilitarian idea.

A WELCOME TO THE BELGIANS

The Belgian ENJOYS may be assured in advance of a welcome in this
country that will touch their hrearts, declares the New York World.
American sympathy has alrways been with the little peoples. 1t was
with the Poles. 1t was with the Magyars and Kossuth. 1t was with
Denmark. 1t wa with the Beers 1t is with the Irish. 1t is with the
Jews in Russia. 1t has been made hot with generous anger by the
outrageous character of the attack upon Belgium.

after the val. So the wrong vas committed. Germany hacked her way
with every imaginable circumstances of horror-runed fields burned
cities, executed hostages; with fire and blood and rapne; with art a
terpieces destroyed and bombs dropped al night upon sleeping women,
and priests shot as spies-through the brave little land she had taken
a perjurers oath to respect; and o to appalling physical suffering she
is adding the insult of treating Belgium as a conquered province. Bel
gin clocks must keep German time. Belgian ciizeis must obey German
govtrnors. Letters addressed to Belgium must bear the added dmec-
ton, Germany Thus is Germany "endeavoring to make good the

WILL DEMAND ENORMOUS INDEMNITY

An exclusive dispatch to the New York World from its London
News Agency says: London does not talk Of peace, and rumors from
America of some such suggestion by Count Bernstorf, the German
ambassador, arouse little comment. But as time passes it becomes a-
that there ire certain things which Germany must pay if the Allies
win. One thing is a enormous indemnity to Belgium. Conversations
with high English officials indicate that this stands foremost in Great
Britans mind at the present moment
"Alsace-Lorraine must be returned, and it is expected that France
will also demand the return Of the indemnity of 1870, amounting to

Probably n o other nation in the world o nearly approaches abso-
lutte independence in respect to mineral resources az the United States.
A glance at the statistics of mineral imports affords a means of
comprehendng in a broad way how great and complex is the task of
attaining national independence in the mining, meta1urgica1 and chem
icl industries. Last year the imports of mineral products, both crude
and manufactured, exceeded $270NOMO. OF this total probably $780,
100000 represents a materials and crude metals the value of these i'm
ports being about 8 per cent of that of the domestic output.
In this list of imports the larger items named in the order of value
ire manufactured copper, precious stones. nitrate of soda, copper ore
and matte, nickel, tin, iron ore, pig iron and steel petroleum products,
manganese ores and alloys, platinum, aluminium, pyrite, graphite, stone,
potash and magnesite.
This country has an abundant supply of most of these mineral prod
uctst that are now imported in large amounts, and Is to them it a be

first rank Of which the United States has no known supply at all COM
