WHAT ANNE RITTENHOUSE SAYS
We Tie Our Sashes in Front.

Special Correspondence of The star
PARIS. July IA smart American
woman who has lived in Paris for ten
years said last night at a dinner in her
big white villa near Paris. where one Of
the present queens has recently been en-
tertained. that the fashions of the mo-
ment were well carried out by turning
all ones skirt from the front to the back
She elaborated the idea through her own
experience during the last week. and
made such convincing argument illus
trated by the gowns that her seamstress
had finished. that naturally a fashion re
porter must report it,
1t really was SO true that il became
a subject of mirth. The men did not
understand the a 3 of it. but every
woman knew exactly now that gown had
looked before it was turned around.
Details are tiresomc and not always
convincing. but the imagination and
knowledge of woman can easily lead her
to grasping the idea. To begin with.
there is slash which was in front and
is now in the back. There is the sash
which began its career last March by
being tied in the back. but which is now
loosely knotted in front There is the
long tunic which once ended its circuit
of the body in the middle of the back,
leaving a straight panel exposed of the
around and ends its career in front. show
ing plain panel of the skirt beneath.
A Convenient Method of Sewing.
If these fashions persist through the
autumn and women have gowns that are
In good enough condition to be made over
ii is quite easy to adopt this convenient
method of altering clothes. All one has
to do is to twist the skirt around on the
figure. If one is content to be haphazard.
and. if not. then to drape it on new
lining.
Either method will serve. according to
the figure and dress habits of the wearer.
The adoption of it may tide one over that
between season that NEST women dread.
when it is too early to spend ones money
rashly on new clothes and too late to re-
gard ones summer finery with any degree

The change in the sash is probably the
most inter esting of the many changes
that have twisted the back part of the
skirt to thief ront. 1t began SO Victorian
and ended SO oriental.

As this hip drapery is worn today it

WAYNE CEDARED
WARDROBES
Are in Demand
Throughout the Year.

Although the moth season. or the
worst Of It. is past, the Wayne Cedared
Paper Wardrobes are still much sought
after. Every day finds some person
newly recognising their efficiency In
caring for apparel, bed clothing, dra-
peries, etc, without the unpleasant
ness Of the chemicals, and the work
which the use Of them means.
Wayne Wardrobes are made Of a
tough fiber paper. They contain the
moth -defying pleasant odor Of the
woods and the cedar; a sure proof
against moth and other enemies. What
ever is placed in these Wardrobes is
easily eemoved and ready for use i'm
mediately, not having to be aired SO
as to rid Of the odor-there being none.
Many people use them through
out the year solely to prevent
dust and dirt; all garments hang
in their natural full position, so
that they do not have to, be
pressed before using.

sizes IN stock, priced from 4oc to

Take Exercise.

There are several simple exercises
which are valuable for developing the
figure, supplying the arms. shoulders
and neck, and giving a graceful poise
to the torso; while they are of great
service also in banishing the painful
stiffness that often follows an attack
OF rheumatism or neuritis after the
worst pain has abated.
The first is .'arm drill" which should
be done rhythmically: one can count or
mentally hum a suitable air to mark
time.
Stand erect, elbows close to sides,
fists clenched. ''One-two"-shoot the
arms straight out and return; three
four"-shoot the arms straight out on
q line with the figure, and return;
''fve-six"-arms straight above head
and return. Repeat from ten to fifty
times. The second is the rotary move
ment. Stand erect. one arm hanging
loose and straight, and the other ex-
tended in line with the shoulder.
Move the extended arm slowly with q
circle as possible. so that you feel the
shoulder bone working in its socket
then repeat the movement with the
other arm. One minute will probably
with.
The Neck and Throat.
The third is neck exercise, which is
especially beneficial to people who suf-
fer with that very trying malady, "stiff
neck" as it strengthens the upper part
Of the spine and renders the vertebrae
less susceptible to draughts. while 1t
also improves the contour OF the throat
and prev snts both "scragginess'' or the
other extreme known as double CHR" !"
Stand in the erect but easy and we'll
balanced attitude that Is 'the first posi-
ton" for all exercises. hands resting
lightly on the hips. chin raised, eyes
gazing straight in front. Then move
the head slowly and steadily to the
right till you can look over your right
shoulder; reverse the movement to the
left in the same way. and repeat five
or six times This exercise must be
done very slowly and steadily, or it
may induce giddiness. and 1t should
not be kept up for more than minute
or two at a time.

One evening this delectable in

the Duncombe home, in a secret way. \
Judging from their conversation, y
these two had known one another in
a sinister way in the past. Further
than that, it appeared that the vaunt-

hold on Jim:
"See here, Carr" he said on the

has been around for an evening or

Gals are beginning to take note ot
the unrest and dissatisfaction among
railroad clerks and other Office en-
ployes because of present conditions.
Last fall these workers discussed or
gan1zation, but were urged to post
pone action by the officials because
of contraction in business. Since
then no change has taken place, and
the clerks point to the fact that when
the men were furloughed, the chief
clerks, department heads, and other
officials were not included. Another
Lesson on the need for unity is the
gains made by workers in the operat-
ing department, whose brotherhoods
are continually lettering conditions

Whether or not the demands of the

the wholesale slaughter of their de-
fenseless wives and children at Lud

themselves on the ground that they
meant merely to wound and kill the

An Appeal and. An Example


Gov. Ammons made another appeal
for law and order in the strike dis
trict Tuesday.
He has made many such appeals in
Las Animas and Huerfano counties
more than the million people who cleo
ted him to preserve the law.
The Express regrets that Ammons
has not set better example for those
Of whom he complains.
The most basic lawlessness in the
strike district of which we have know
ledge has been Gov. Ammons' denial
OF the right of free speech, personal.
liberty, and jury trial to scores of in
CONSPICUOUS strikers and the entirely
unconstitutional and inhuman arrest
and detention of Mother" Jones.
The governor says in his statement
that the state did not create the con
dition of lowlessness" in the strike re-
gion.
He's partly right and partly wrong.
The operators created it. The state
merely allowed 1T to exist and grow.
The state allowed coal barons to
commit innumerable crimes, as was
proven before Federal grand jury
and the Congressional investigating
commission.
The state failed miserably to pro-
tect thousands of miners and the;r
families from the depredations Of
greedy operators.
The state allowed the operators to
import as laWless a band of gunner
as ever Knocked the constituted author
1ty OF any state, arm them with ma
chine guns and rifles, and allow them
to attack the miners in their tent
homes.
Just where the states responsible
ty for that condition left off and the
burden shifted entirely to the. should
ers OF the operators is not important.
There are those, also, who will de-
pate the governors right to supersede
civil with military rule while civil
courts were open and the judges there
Of announced themselves ready to dis
charge their duty.
And the governor says in his. state
ment that he ordered out the troons
at the request of the ''best citizens
\ That is true IF he considers those
who exploit labor for private gain bet
ter citizens, than those who pay the
tribute thus exacted.
Can you blame freedom-loying cit
liens who resent having their homes
desecrated by Rockefeller gunner and
their felow-men .andw omen thrown

that men and women should receive
