GLOVES IN BLACK AND WHITE
Shortage of Dye Materials Certain to
Put the colored Ones in the
Background.

The shortage of dye materials will
make the colored glove take a step
down from favor There will be a de.
mand for black and for white gloves.
There will be general advance in
the prices of gloves for the spring. and
the wise woman will invest in a supply
that will carry her through to the com,
ing season. The shipments from Aus
tria or Belgium will be negligible
There will probably be about the same
amount from England, and obviously
the German output will be curtailed
There may be an increase OF Italian
gloves, and possibly French makers
will be able to fill orders In France
there is only about so per cent of the
factory output now at hand. The
smaller makers are virtually closed.
AS for fabric gloves, there is an un.
certainty that it were we'll for you to
consider. The best fabric gloves are
made from cotton that comes from
Egypt. This supply is virtually un
obtainable during the war. These cot
tons are used for the yarns that are
spun in Germany, and, of course, the
German question Is unsettled. The
other country from which Germany
has in the past obtained materials
from which to spin yarns is England
That possibility is closed point,
AS for the silk-glove question, the do

Oid.Time Celebrations

Even in George Washington life
time his birthday was made the oc.
casion OF rejoicing by his neighbors
in Alexandria. A feature of the cele.
bration last year was the reading OF
an account in an Alexandria newspa.
per printed in 1899 of the birthday
celebration that year General Wash
ington attended this celebration and
reviewed the soldiers who had assem-.
bled to do him honor. In the evening
banquet was held. The Alexandria
newspaper says that the wines were
such as did honor to their preparers.
and were perfectly satisfactory to the
guests. The toasts were eyincive OF

PAYS TO BUY GOOD MATERIAL
Cheap Stuff viii Never Give Satisfao,
ton and Is Really More Expen-
sive in the End.

Do not make the mistake of exer-
cising false economy on your suits,
for false such economy certainly is.
Cheap suits never pay. especially for
business girls. You give your suits
the hardest kind of wear, and if you
buy cheap, trashy materials they soon
look shiny and shabby.
You should prefer having through
the year two or three serviceable
suits with plain, smart lines of the
best, most durable goods, to five or
six flimsy. tawdry frocks at $40 to $12
each, whose cheap imitation of style
lis lost during the first weeks wear.
But" perhaps you are asking. how
can l afford the best materials on
twelve or fourteen dollars a week."
You can. if you start saving early
enough. and that is why this little talk
is coming to you so soon, so that you
may have the opportunity to put by
enough of your salary to buy you a
really good suit, not poor imitation

WORTHY OF HONOR
Washington National Monument
Association Has Deserved
Well of Country.

nm EVERY birthday of George Wash
W ington for the last II years a
meeting Of small but distinguished
body has been held in the city of
Washington. This body is the Wash
lngton National Monument society,
the organization which brought about
the construction of the giant shaft
which dominates the landscape in the
federal city.
While the war department has the
care and custody of the Washington
monument, this society has a quasi
public status, exercises a paternal
watchfulness over it, possesses the
right to send mail under frank and
stands ready to resist any plan or pro-
IOsal which seeks to change in any
way the monument or its surround.

John Marshall. that great iurist, was
the society's first president. Since
then. beginning with Jackson, the
presidents OF the United States have
been ex-oficio presidents of the So
ciety.
The organization of the monument
society la 1888 was undertaken by
representative citizens of Washington,
after long experience had caused them
TO despair of congress acting in the
matter OF erecting memorial to
George Washington. The continental
congress as early as 1883 had promised
TO erect a memorial TO Washington,
and Major L'Enfant. In laying out the
city of Washington, had set apart res

found privateiy-owned sites increasing

asking the donation of site. Not un-

nine inches of ribbon a little wider
than the length of the safety pins are
required. The ribbon Is cut into two
equal lengths. One end is stitched
around the bar of the pin, the other to
the ring. The ribbon can be decorated
to suit ones fancy. Those that come
made up are stamped for embroidery
