THE NEW SHIRTWAIST.

The regulation shirtwaist may
never go out of style Women. having
once learned how comfortable II Is,
are loath to give il up, But the reg
ulation shirtwaist is now used only
when II is really appropriate. II is
used for sports-tennis, golf. canoe
ing. 1t is used for country tramping.
with a tailored coat suit. II is worn
by many schoolgirls, as a convenient
garment for the diversified occupa-
tions of a school day. It has been
found convenient houseworking
garment, also.
But for afternoon wear the reg
ulation shirt or shirtwaist is seldom
worn. In its place there are blouses
of chiffon and crepe de chine, lingerie,
ret and lace.
Most durable of all of these are the
crepe de chine waists Sometimes, of
course, crepe de chine is manipulated
into a regulation shirtwaist, with
shoulder yoke, linked cuffs and SIM
Pile stitching as its only trimming.
But the softer somewhat more elab-
crate blouses of crepe de chine are
the most useful ones. They are quite
pretty enough to wear TO a tea, for
calling. to a matinee or for almost
any other informal afternoon engage
ment. The greatest advantage of
these blouses is that crepe de chine
can be washed as easily almost as
cotton, so these blouses can be cleaned
without the expense of a cleaners bill
or the trouble of resortins to gas
oline.
The newer blouses have long

There are so many pesslmists, and one
hears on every hand so many gloomy
statements about modern conditions that
when a cheerful little woman like the
Travellers Aid worker al the Union
Station tells you that Washington is a
cafe place for young women to be alone
you feel as if a load had been taken off
your shoulders. And this young woman
sees many pitiful cases in the course of
every days work. She sees the harder.
seamier side of life, and she knows
human nature under its most trying
aspects. Yet she is an optimist. And
her optimism is very welcome.
This optimist even goes further than
this. She tells you that now when we
have been led TO believe that everything
is much worse off than it ever was be-
fore. when our papers are full OF stories
of distress and unemployment. of sorrow
and misery, that in this very year there
have been fewer cases of distress brought

are getting better in some respects. The
seeds of reform which We nave been

ally sprouted and some of them are bear

Blue and gray are the two colors
OF the spring OF course the khaki
biscuit and all the rest-are still de-
cidedly in vogue. But newer are the
shades of gray and blue that appear
alone and In combination.
From Paris in the past few weeks,
in news of the openings. word has
been sent that these two colors are
much favored And every day one
sees more and mos of them here.
The grays that are fashionable are
of lovely colors-gray with a ten
dency to blue, rather than the pink
gray shades. They are clear and COL
orful and. II properly handled. there
is nothing of hardness or GOODNESS
in them.
Many names suggestive of the war
have been given to these new shades.
Among them are dreadnought gray.
dark in shade, and battleship gray,
which is lighter.
The blues in vogue are equally lovely
in shade. and one can readily see that
many of these gray-blue shades can be
charming combined with plain blue for
trimming.
Taffeta in spite Of it's exceeding popu-
larity last summer. is again in the van
guard OF fashionable fabrics. It is so
obviously suitable fabric for summer
wear that It's renewed popularity is not
to be wondered at And taffeta is espe
cially suited to the full-skirted frocks of
the spring.
Because Of these same faring frocks.
the softer crepes and satins, including
crepe de chine. are not to be featured
very largely. They are not well adapted
to the wider trend OF fashion.
Blue serge Is still in fashion, and II

II seems to have lost nothing for this
reason.
Faille. under various names, still has
fashion. although that, too, has been
used for many months. But one gath
ers from tire results of the Paris OPEN
ings that many of the French Dress
makers have found it a most appropri-
ate fabric for their models. PoplIn,
too. is widely used and perhaps be-
cause It is newer it will be more used
than faile as the warm weather ad-
vances.
Some OF the French dressmakers are
sending over shantung silk models bur
obviously these are for travelling and
seaside wear rather than for any other.
They are especially comfortable and
durable for summer travelling.
Organdie is perhaps the most fashion,
able of the thin fabrics. and net is also
a great deal used for afternoon and
evening frocks- 1t is usually heavily
embroidered for afternoon. Wolfe. too.

the ceaseiess hustle and hurry of the

real true optimist.
Washington is one of the safest ter
minals in the country" she said u
came here from Detroit where the num-
Der of girls who are decoyed into the
city for immoral purposes is very large.
In other cities the same situation pre-
walls But here. although there is
plenty for us Travellers Aids to do, there
is very little white slave work In all
my experience here for the last three
years. ] can recall but three white slave
cases that have come under my care
The fact that Washington is not a fac
tory city makes part of the difference
There Is almost no call for unskilled I'M
intelligent young women here and II Is
usually the unintelligent girl who falls
a victim Of the white SLAYER
But the number of people-men. women
and children-who are stranded In this
terminal is enormous There seems to
be an opinion IN other parts of the
country that Washington is sort OF
earthly paradise-a place where there Is
enough and to spare for every one If
they can only get as far as Washington
they think they will be provided for for
life. When cases of this sort come up
II Is our business to try and provide
them with work First. if they have no
place to go We see that they have shell
ter for the night. If they are mothers
with children-as they frequently are
We take them to the Florence Crittenton
Home. If they are young women
alone, We take them to the Young Wom-
ems Christian Home. Then we do what
we can TO provide them with work. and
If this cannot h. done We get in touch
with the local charities or with the police
and see what We can do to get them
back to their home. There is a great deal
of work for this sort TO be. done in
Washington because there Is so little
call for unskilled labor. You know how
il is here. Unless a woman is trained
or has brains she hasn't much chance OF
finding work
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1915-03-02

! Then there are always a great many
strangers here who simply need assist
ance in changing cars. They come here
on their way North or South, and have
to be helped from one train to another.
We often receive wires from other cities
to be on the lookout for such persons
and we protect them from the danger
that might come to ;Aem If strangers
assisted them. There are often men who
offer to assist young women travelling
alone. Perhaps they are honest in their
intentions. but we cannot tell. The SAT-
est way is to protecu the girls from this
assistance"
Then the representative of The Wom-
ans Herald asked this interesting young
woman-one of the two guardian angels
who hover over the Union Station day
and nieht-If she could have her name,
if she would have her picture. but the
young woman declined

The two young women in question are
under the supervision Of the Washington
branch of the Young Woman Christian
Association. Although there is yet no
