Petticoats Are Wider.

Petticoats are gradually growing
wider at the foot, to keep pace with
widening skirts. The ripple skirt,
edged with fur. is all the prettier for a
rutfied silk petticoat beneath it. and
the new petticoats with plated frills
are very gay and coquettish affairs.
Pussy willow taffeta, soft in texture
and charming in coloring, is better
than messaline, which soon wears thin
and trays at the seams, and the frills
may be hemstitched or picot-edged to
add final touch of distinction. Dan
cling petticoats of white or pale pink
pussy willow silk are fiounced with
lace and ACCORDION plated chiffon,
with trimming of small silk roses.

DICTATES OF FASHION

The newest card case is of striped

There is new brown or greenish
shade called rhubarb.
Pale green and tan are the favorite

A yellow vest will add a note of

Ripple styles and cape effects pre-
dominate in both evening and after
noon wraps.
The new Japanese quilted wrappers
are cut with perfectly straight unfit
ted back.
Square frames are seen in the new
handbags, and some handbags are mel

the new coats are semifitting; some
have clusters of plaits at the side.

COLLARS OF WHITE SATIN
Make a Charming Addition, Especially
to the Gown Made Up of Dark
Blue Serge.

There is already much speculation
about the joining of soft silks and far
ing circular skirts for spring, but if
both remain in fashion after the
French openings, which are scheduled
for February as usual, no doubt the
designers will find some good way out
of the difficulty. Much can be done
by borrowing from the ideas used In
evening gowns made of silk net, which
now have flaring FIVE and six-yard
skirts held out by thick bullion cord.
A cable cord of velvet or silk can re-
place this one on silk street skirts.
The advance fashions in dark blue
show the usage of white satin in the
way Of wrinkled stock collars and
wide turnover cuffs, in wide belts of
white kid with pearl buckles, and even
in white satin hens when the nature
of the frock allows one. This is a
good idea for the woman to assimilate
if she is given to wearing dark blue.
It would brighten that serge frock she
has now and make it bit different
from what it has been.

FIND INTEREST IN SOMETHING
Friends Will Soon Tire of the Woman
Who Arrows Life to Be
Bore.

The woman who is not interested
in things in general or something in
particular is an undressing COM
panion. No matter how beautiful she
may be, her charm will be minimized
or of short duration.
The victim of ennui or Indifference
victimizes everybody about her. Her
friends may look upon her and admire
her beauty, but she is decidedly unin-
teresting, and even a little bit Of her
society is generally an overdose. To
be blase is not to be interesting.
If you are weary of everything in
life you need the attention of physi-
clan; there is something wrong with
you, mentally and physically.
Something new and interesting in
this world is cropping out every min
ute. The most interesting people are
those who see things and get all pos
sible pleasure out of them. An ex-
hibition of Indifference to things about
you is not an evidence of intelligence.

safely there, to transport to them the
mountains of provisions that they
would consume.
The railroad, therefore. is the first
necessity in feeding the army. All the
countries In the ar have good trans
portation facilities with the exception
of Russia. Perhaps this is why Rus
STA has done less execution so far than
was expected of her at the wars out
set. Over the railroad lines of Ger
many and France trains are hurrying
day and night with stores of food.
Where there are no railroads huge
automobile trucks are used.
At the beginning of the war the
countries engaged took over practi-
cally all the automobiles they could
lay their hands on. The machines
thus taken have been used for every
conceivable purpose. There have been
skirmishes between motor cars
armed with quick-firing guns and
mounted troops of the enemy. In
fantry have been moved with incred-
ible swiftness by means of taxicabs
which used to ply in the streets of
London, Berlin and Paris. Big guns
are hauled by motor tractors Gen.
erals and staff officers speed from end
to end of the far-flung lines in racing
cars. But, most important of all, food
is carried by motor truck to hungry
men. Heavy motor trucks, capable of
carrying several tons each of food, are
attached to the various field depots.
Adjoining these depots are the
bakeries, where thousands of loaves
are baked by day and night shifts for
the men at the front. Bread and other
food are rushed by motor truck to re-
plenishing points established at fire.
quent intervals behind the second line
of troops. Where roads are too bad
for the heavier vehicles, light auto
mobile delivery vans or even horse
drawn carts and wagons of every de-
scription are used to convey food to
the replenishing points. From these
small depots men carry food, bread
and coffee to the "dugouts" where the
fighting men rest, or even to the
trenches, making their way to these
danger zones by deep bitches dug for
the safe passage Of men under fire.

and efficiency. Each regiment carries

MEANS GREAT SAVING.
PRETTY NEckWEAR THAT MAY
BE MADE At HOME.
Somewhat Expensive to Buy Ready 70
Wear, But Materials Are Cheap
and the Work Really Amounts
to Little.

Never before was there such de-
mand for pretty neckwear; in fact.
the fancy, for it amounts to a craze.
Going through stock of neckwear
few days ago was astonfshed at the
simplicity of some models and could
not help thinking how much money
might be saved IL the material were
bought and the pretty accessories be
made up at home, writes Helen Howe
In the Washington Star. True, one can
buy inexpensive neckwear that is very
pretty; but alas! only Until it has
been Numbered. Then it is poor look
ing and sleazy. The better qualities
of neckwear are quite expensive. For
example, collar marked at $1.50
found was made of lace sold at so
cents yard at the counter. The two
were exactly the same, both in tint
and quality. As one yard makes the
collar the saving is obvious. It could
be made in half an hour, too.
The lace is folded in two and nine
inches marked off at each end. There
it is mitered to form the corners. The
lace between the corners is plated
or gathered to fit the collar on the
waist. A strip of lawn doubled will
make the raw edges neat and give q
firm hold for sewing in.
The organdie collars are very popu-
lar indeed. A collar in a good quail
ity will cost SO cents, the cheaper
kinds quarter, while half yard of
the material will make half a dozen
collars in different sizes because the
material is so very wide. For 60 cents
a yard a very sheer organdie can be
bought. The collars are made double.
The usual finish is a picot edge with
or without row of hemstitching just
inside. This can be sent to the hem
stltchers to be done. In preparing the
collar for hemstitching the raw edges
are placed together and basted half
an inch from these edges. This is the
guide for the hemstitcher When re-
turned the raw edges are cut away
and the result is a picot edge If an
additional row of hemstitching is de-

the foundation upon which the high

The Cockaoe.
The cockade, an ornament or knot

originally worn as military or naval
decoration or as the badge Of a poll

bons of the national colors were worn
by soldiers during the wars Of the
eighteenth century. From 1882 to the
time of the Revolution they were an
exclusive military decoration in
France. In England after the expul-
