HOLLAND TEXTILE
 TRADE SUFFERS BY
 NEUTRAL ATTITUDE

Twenthe, Netherlands, Nov. 12.-The textile trade, one of the principal in dustries in Holland. is suffering at tack from both Germany and Great Britain, the first of which refuses to provide sufficient dye-stuffs, while the latter restricts the supply of the raw materials required to keep the Dutch spindles going.
 Ever since August, 1914, the various branches Of the textile Nrade here have experienced difhcultiesf in keeping the mills at work. At first there was a certain amount of raw stuffs on hand to furnish the looms which were kept busy by the orders from the Dutch military authorities for clothing for the rapidly mobiIized Dutch troops. Then, however, came restrictions on imports and exports, which was ac- companied by depression in the home purchasing market.
 This district is the center of the tex tile trades. In the immediate vicinity of Twentthe in normal times 1000 looms and 300, 900 spindles are busy and for the most part they depend on foreign countries for raw materials. Altogether in Holland there. are en- gagged in the textile trades BIO power factories and 2,500 other works where purely hand labor is employed In these concerns about A, 900 people earn their living.
 Up till a few years ago, much of the mems and women's ready made cloth ing sold in Holland came from Ger many but recently Dutchmen have, applied themselves to- this trade, which, at the beginning of the war, SEW itself almost entirely in Dutch hands. People in th.s country have been forced, however, to Necononize by the / prevailing conditions and the clothing manufacturers have felt the pinch of the' war just as much as any other branch of the textile trades.

ONLY GIRL FOR HIM:
 YET VISITS LESS
Dear Miss Libbey:-

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I am a girl of IS. Kept company with a good-loking young man. First he visited me twice a week. Now he comes once a week. As he wishes to keep steady company, do you think he ought to see me oftener? He tells l am the only girl for him. Dear Miss A1bpey, am heartbroken; fear he cares no more for me. Tell, please how I can win his love back again. Yours, T.!
 T.
 Only girl for him is entitled to more visits instead of less. When evenings are slightly chilly, he may feel more like visiting oftener. A number of young men are of the opinion that one evening a week and Sunday also, are pleasant to pass with a young girl un- til winter sets in. Do not urge more calls. Let him do so.

The arrangement of the new drape- ries is most delightful and broadcIoth lends itself to this style because of it's soft. pliabIe nature Quite the last word in draped skirts is the Peggy model reproduced here With it is worn blouse of charrneuse satin in the same sfade-SoIdier Boy blue trimmed with blure. silver and black embroidery. The skirt closes at the left side of the front. The pleating is skilfully tackled so that a cascade drapery is formed.
 In average size the design requires z7s yards 54-inch material Buttons of broadc1oth may be used. or others of satin or velvet may be substituted for them.
 It is very important that care be used in cutting he-skirt. Use an open width of the material and lay the vari- o1Is sections of the pattern on the right side. The right side and back gore of the skirt are in one section of the pat tern, and this is laid on a lengthwise , thread Of the broadcloth so that the straight ecge of the pattern meets the selvage edge of the material evenly To the right of the right side and back gore section the left side gore Is placed and opposite this the front gore There is an intervening section of material from which the belt is cut
 The experienced dressmaker will readily see the possibilities for decora- ton that this model affords. The cas- cadei drapery may be faced with silk or satin to correspond with the waist and the outer edge finished with a band of fur or fancy braid.
 Braid is less expensive and quite as much in favor as furs and can be readily obtained in a variety of shades Buttons too. play an i'm portant part in the decoration of the costume. Very handsohne would be great round fiat buttons of tortoise shell measuring 25z inches across.

Berlin, oNv. 12@Thanks to an in crease in the female population of Berlin during the year ending Sep tember, 1915, the total number of per sons living in the capital has decreas- ed but little during the war. In Sep tember, 1914, the population was l. 995 S06,, and this year 1.843, 81O.

ROMANNCEs NOT .-,,,
 ENGAGEMENTS

Let us go hence and rest; she Will
 not love,
 She shall not hear us if we sing here
 of;
 Nor see loves ways, how sure they are
 and steep.
 Come here, still let's be: it is enough Love is barren sea, bitter and deep; Though she saw all Heaven in flower ! above
 She would not love-
 If it were not for the short pleasant trips taken, young people meeting with others here and> >there,f there would not be as many romances and happy end ings that have been looked forward to by those who were single The true old saying tells us over again: Peo- pie meet where hills and mountains don't.''
 Sensible are the girls and young men who pack bag and baggage and h1e tn ernselves to the country a little while or spare the short time to visit friends few miles away. They are sure to make new acquaintances if that is their inclination. At the most unpre- tentious inn or boarding place new corners need not keep clear of the p1- azzas, expecting to see a motley group of young women and their older sis ters/ sitting with heads bent, down ward, gossiping over fancy work, as to whether a possible 'he'' will come there.
 Saturday evenings there's most all ways hop and good time assured at the old-fashioned roomy barn that skirts a delightful farmhouse not far away. whether it is moonlight or a cloudy sky, arm in arm dozens of couples jaunt along the road going there, across meadows, going under the apple trees to pick up one of the luscious fruit. F'ewNif any young men would turn away from an indueement to go where he would be sure to find the half-hidden, luscious melon in the atch, the tasseled corn on the stalk peaches ripe on the trees, fields of golden grain rioting in the hay glow. Enough goes to waste they can tell to load down many a poor mans table.
 Where is the congenia1, Hght-heart- ed young fellow who has paved his own way to fair position that has not been the central figure in one or widow? That either Of Cupid's ar rows did not bring forth an engage ment- was the fault of one or the oth- CT. Had he not started on these week end jaunts to forget his troubles, he would not have added another broken romance to those of the past. One of his latest flames he suspicioned to be fick1e.s
 Without knowing that his destina- tion was to the quiet, home1ike hotel, she had arrived there in her fine ar ray, with girl chum, both having gotten themselves up for conquest. He was<resttng on rustic bench, nearly hidden by trees. as they passed idly along, not observing his presence, in their loud chatter, T just broke away from Tom in time to be wooed by an other. He was getting, to like me and we would have been engaged if had not written as I did to him. What waSSit. YOU ask? -penned the words: Its very lonesome without, you Tom, so lam going away. Just be careful of rornances and forget me- ''No wonder you changeab1e girls can new CT become engaged. You don't know when you're well off Romance with plain sensible girl, having a true heart, means an engagement and a happy wedding said her chum rebukingly. Those living for gay time seldom wed joyously.

UNLUCKY
 LOAN TO HIM
Dear Miss Libbey:.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I am a girl of 16, your reader. A year last spring. I met a young man at party. We have been pretty good chums since Six months ago, he took a brooch pin had on my waist, against my will Has notrreturned it. I know little about him. Some say he has questionable reputation He promised faithfully to give me my pin if I would go with him. I refused twice on account of what some peo- pie say. Should go with him to get the pin? Is is dear present grand mother gave me Christmas. Please tell how I can get it.. I am in tenth grade high school. Am enough ad- vanced? How is my writing?s Is it proper for a young man to take hold of a girls arm going down street, if it's dark?
 NILS
 A stranger who all said had 9 ques- tionable reputation should never be trusted with valued keepsakes. No man will take a pin from a. girl and not return it if he is honorable. Ask your parents to see that it is given to you. Or ask your teachers aid. Do not go with him, I warn you. You are far enough advanced. Writing Is good. Take some others besides dark street to go. Only if street is dark and poor to walk in should he take your arm Go in the open, where it. is bright and people are passing.

"Godmothers" For
 Soldiers Product of Europe's War

Paris Nov. 12-The/ Godmothers' certificate Ccertificate de marraine) is the latest distinction originating in the great war. It was invented by the spasmodic publication entitled ''The Echo of the Huts''-a journal of the trenches and organ of the S1st. Terri toriaIs. It reads as follows:
 ''I, the undersigned, certify that Madame Cor Mademoisel1e) has been
 my godmother during the war; since
 .191..
 Signed
 The godmother may be 8 woman or a girl of any age; she has in some in mission is to convoy good cheer to some soldier at the front who has no family at home to look after him or
 who, through the vicissitudes of war. has been cut off from all communica- ton with his relations. She writes to him and sends him such comforts as are practicable and many that are not. She is generally French, of course but many English women and a hun-~
 dred Virginian girls are said to have godsons in the French army and are sending them enough letters to keep all the interpreters busy.
 What the E'poilu'' thinks of his god mother may be learned from the '''Echo of the Huts." It says: Their attentions are constant and full of de-
 ncacy. They provide their godsons with a, little wel1-being. with a few
 luxuries that are not superf1uous, and
 with some enchanting dreams that are not entirely useless either. As the soldiers of old eombatted for their ladies, so the t'poilu'' of today fights for his godmother. The godmother
 must be satisfied with her godson; in order that she be proud of him, that
 he be worthy of her; the 'poiIu'' per forms heroic exploits.
 1 t'It cannot finish otherwise than in a contract is due and proper form.
 Therefore, to immortalize these pa triotic unions we have decided to create the ''godmother's certificate" Later on it will not, perhaps, be the least moving of the souvenirs of this war;
