ONLY A HINT OF MILITARISM
American Women Have Refused to Go
to Extremes in StyIes-New Tur-
ban Models.

Though there was, before the Paris
openings, much talk of the military in
fiuence in hats and clothes, it has been
accepted, especially in suits, only in
a conservative way. Today, the smart
est tailored suit is much palmer than
it has been for many seasons, for it
has borrowed line rather than trimming
of the military coats. The pocket and
the belt have been adopted, to be sure,
but in their simplest form.
Among the first spring offerings in
millinery we're small dark turbans
trimmed with white wings in rather
daring manner and turbans with a
light or white top, accented by a bow.
The well-gowned woman has chosen
these two models in preference to the
more somber ones. Flowers are GER
tainly worn and so are cockades of all
kinds, but the bow on dark hat is
usually white or beige and the wings
are almost invariably white.-Vogue.

But hold we did! We held until
the moment when huge twenty-one
centimeter shell struck three yards
away from me, tearing everything
about me to a horrible mess and bury
ing me with five other soldiers. We
dragged ourselves out, and finding that
no one of US was wounded we took
off our kepis and on our knees we
thanked the Blessed Virgin for having
saved us.
Shortly afterward we were relieved.
And when I descended that slope to
the plateau with the handful of men
left from what had once been two
full companies we we're all crying
from fatigue and shattered nerves.
Some of us, with eyes sunk into
our heads and contorted mouths, were
chattering our teeth, without being

and covered from head to foot with
blood and brains we were horrible OBJ
jects to see. But the chapel was

BILE, writes Idalia de Villiers, Paris cor
respondent of the London Globe.
One model which pleased me espe-
cially had an umbrella skirt which
buttoned up the front and which had
large side pockets. The coat was half
length, with shaped basque and
waist belt which buttoned on at the
side seams. There was a plain roll
over collar and wide turn-back cuffs.
Both collar and cuffs were caught
down by ivory buttons and the coat
was lined with chintz silk which
showed pale blue and pink flowers on
a white background.
Some of the more elaborate Redfern
suits have pipings and buttons made
of glove kid. This idea was success
fully carried out on large suit in
hedgesparrow-egg blue, which was &C
companied by shirtwaist made of
fne white organdie muslin. All the
pipings on the coat and skirt were
done in hedgesparrow-blue glove kid
and there were rows of tiny blue kid
buttons on the front of the high
necked blouse.
Redfern seems fond of lemon-yellow
lines, one of the most popular novel
ties of the present season. The Pari-
siennes are charmed with lemon-yellow
linen and muslin and they have the
costumes made of these materials fin
ished with sashes in ivory-white or

Lemon-yellow may be said to be the
color of the season, for dresses and
for hats. 1t is specially in demand

of paper during school hours each day.
