The women of France are trying to
save what they can from the devasta-
ton that threatens French prosperity.
Perhaps they realize more keenly than
do their husband soldiers what the
terrible war in Europe means.
If pluck. perseverance in the face of
tremendous obstacles and determine
ton can save the day for the French
dresSmakers. the day Will be saved.
For with most of the famous men OF
the dressmaking world called TO the
cOlOrs, the women have gone ahead,
held such openings as they could, and
have kept up a brave front to a most
discouraging and demOrallzing world
The women have gone into the fields
To save the crops why shouldn't the
women keep up the reputation of
Paris as the center of the fashion
world. they query. Women are born
with an instinct for clothes. So they
are doing their best.
But the Rue de la Paix, like all the
rest Of Paris, presents rather dreary
appearance these days. A handful of
buyers is all that is left of the eager
throngs that began TO come here in
July And less than "A handful of
dressmakers have escaped the call to
arms.
out Of all the confusion emerge a
few predOminating features Of the
fashions the French dressmakers have
shown to the Americans. These fash
ions were quickly changed, in some
cases, especially TO suit Americans. For
if Americans were the only buyers,
naturally they were the only ones to
be pleased. European buyers are not
thinking of clothes just now.
Here are the facts about the new
clothes:
on the whole, skirts are not volum-
nous, although Drecoll shows them
with a courtyard hem and so does
Premet. This wide skirt is cut on cir
cular lines and fits smoothly over the
hips.
The skirts are very short. All sum-
mer Americans here have been sur
prised by the extremely short skirts
French women wear. Doubtless by
now the short skirt is established in
America for America quickly adopts
the features that surprise it. The
autumn models bear out the promise
of the summer. Skirts end five or six
inches above the ground
The tunic is still IN evidence. And
it is a full. long tunic. very graceful
in line and admirably suited to our
cool weather. Perhaps this summer
the heavy serge cape, satin-lined and
swathed about the waist, over a heavy
serge skirt. with vOluminous tunic has
caused some discomfort and some

Another Indian Note

However grewsome the source,
woman spurns not a phase of fashion
if il but have sufficient novelty. AL
though she would hold her ears in
horror at the recital Of Indian cruelty
she will yet wear a girdle that is like
unto an Indians belt of scalps. The
girdle is the fashionable crush
ed, loose-lined affair, rather wide and
coming slightly over the hips; but
new note is furnished by a band
Of monkey fur which edges it on the

CONDITIONS AT
 NOME CHANGED

The thew or.!er Of .hingS' 'ollowing the advent of the new Judge and District Attorn- ey for the Nome division has made things unpleasant, if re- ports from some of the citizens of that town are correct. The under "dog' is up as it were. and a noise as if somebody was hurt is heard. It is hard for q community, as a whole to ac- custom itself to a change in it's mode of living. Apparently fhe old dominant forra> Of Nome have been re'agated 10 il back seat and find it hard to listen instead of dictating and are brewing discomfort. Ono of the first actions of the new Judge was to close the saloons Sundays. This was followed with an order to the Log Cabin Club to take out a license the same as an ordinary saloon. That institution has enjoyed the privileges of selling liquor to it's members without q license. Now, the club has
 been given an order to comply
 with the law. fhe club, it is
 reported is not able to stand the expense of a license of { S1, ,000 and will have to close if; doors.
