NEW PETrIooAT MODELS

The Dry Goods Economist says that
the fact that many dress skirts are
made from two to three and one-half
yards in width is having a good effect
on the petticoat market generally.
Although the newest petticoats are
somewhat wider at the edge, the most
radical change is in the increased
depth of the flounces, which in some
cases reach to the knees, although the
more extreme styles are attached to
a skirt yoke about ten inches below
the waist.
Dark colors are largely represented
in late Fail lines, as the majority of
suits and dresses are made of dark
colored fabrics, such as tete de negre,
mystery green, navy and the dark
shades of wistaria and slate.
A pair showing of bright colors in
Guiding Roman stripes, checks and
plaids, are shown in soft finish taffe-
tas, in satins and peau de cygne- They
have been bought out to wear with
black dresses and suits, as a dark
colored skirt does not look well with

THE TERRIBLE FURIEs OF WAR

Europe to-day is a co1losal, blood
soaked battlefield-a scene of univer-
sal carnage and waste. The flowers
of Europe's manhood is being moved
down by awful engines of destruction.
Whole regiments will be left decimated
and bloody. Tens of thousands of
unmarked graves will shelter the
corpses of husbands and Fathers, sons
and brothers, whose smiles and af-
fection and support will never be
known again. In every hamlet and
town homes will be shattered and left
desolate, with widows and wondering
orphans weeping by their bereaved
firesides.
These are the consequences of such
war as is now sweeping Europe like
flame of delirium-a war unprece-
dented in the ages of man. Is 1t by
accident? Is it the whim of tyrant ?
Has it a logical cause? Will men and
nations lose or gain by it?
