What does the government mean,
anyhow, trying to tell bankers how
to run their banks? Isn't it odd, that
bankers always oppose everything
the government wants to do and
then, after it is done, declare it the
best thing in the world for banking 8

BOURBON STYLE OF OUTSTANDING FRLLs.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. September 23.-Some
one once called Nine. Cherut Louis
XIV woman, because she was always so
happy when she could incorporate into
her fashions anything that savored OF
that period of French history. She is
not the kind of creator who cares to
nut a quantity of roses or feathers or
Jewels on her clothes, yet she likes the
lines of that day and the usage OF su-
perb fabrics.
One of the symptoms of her liking for
the Louis XIV era as shown in her new
clothes ia the lifting of the line on the
hips and pushing it out much further
than fashion has. countenanced Tor
wears. She places a frilled peplum
there or arranges the cloth in some
manner that broadens the circumfer-
ence and makes the waist look small
by comparison.
Cabot was always fond of little
gathered or pleated peplum below the
waist line but it was usually USED as
an accumulation of the slimness belo"
the waist and knees 1t was the one
frill on an attenuated inquire ihis
larging the hips is something quite
different and is strongly reminiscent
of those costumes with which the
Mozart operas make us familiar over
here. Cheruit has always been .he
abostle of the slim. snug bodice. the
narrow shoulders. the wrapped waist
line, the width of skirt over the legs
even when it was confined at the
ankles. also the long sleeve. the regu,
lation armhoie and the neatly arranged
waist line Her skirts were usually
aecentuated somewhere near the hips
by cIeveriy disposed trimming even at
a time when the leading fashions called
for hips nodded into the material. She
wa the first to introduce the pannier,
wearing it herself to the French races
in the spring time, and the whole world

only if she intends to soon discard
the frock. The matter of the frill is
really only matter of taste.
Now, as to the bottom of the skirt,
the five bands may be five rows of
braid, or fewer. if one likes, or bias
folds. or cords. or shirred bands. all
of which are fashionable. Then. too,
1t is modish to increase the width of
attached bias or f1ared folds stitched
one on the other, as in the illustra-
ton five folds can be stitched. one be-
low the other. This gives a stiffness
to the bottom of skirt which makes
it stand well out from the feet in
hoop fashion. but it also cuts up the
goods SO that such frock cannot be
altered.
The dress in the pattern will be most
serviceable If made of serge, or some
other good wool fabric, but If in
tended for visiting or house wear it
should be of silk, since taffetas of all
sorts are the pre-eminent materials
for the coming season.
Bengalines and poplins are also
among the newest of the fashionable
fabrics for the season upon us, and
the predominating colors will be egg
plant, plum. raisin. deep puppies, very
dark browns, dark greens. and the
pongee colors.
To obtain this pattern mail 10 cents
in stamps or coin to Lucille Gordon,
care of The Star. Be sure to state
number and size of pattern wanted,
and give your name and address.

To Rejuvenate Half-Worn Waists.

Since the day of the blouse "all-but-
touchdown before" is now with US,
there are many signs over many half
worn waist, with it's lovely embroid-
cred front laid away. By little in
genuity and the weave of a magic
needle there may be given a rebirth
in an even more desirable form. If the
front is large enough and in good con-
dition, 1t may serve as the top to a
/ baby" pillow-dear to every woman S
heart-put to it's plain back with a
two-inch imitation cluny or possibly
its own entre-deuX of Irish crochet, for
the moment out of favor for shirt
waists. If more worn and the heavier
embroidery is trying to tear away from
the background, every good motif may
be cut out and appliqued to a new foun-
dation for more pillowcases, pin
cushions, summer workbags and the
lingerie lamp or candle shades so popu-
lar and so expensive in the shops as to
be out of reach of the average purse.

To Fasten Blouse.

A very attractive way to fasten a
blouse is by means of bound button
holes and crocheted buttons.
|, Make buttonholes in each side of the
blouse and bind. To bind, sew the
eighth Of an inch around the button
hole, cut. turn. and bind on the wrong
side. While not hard to make, the
bound buttonhole requires careful
sewing.
Fasten two crochet buttons together
by carrying a thread back and forth
from underneath one button to the
other. Buttonhole or single crochet
over the threads. Fasten the buttons
close enough together, SO that the front
edges of the blouse will meet, when
the buttons are in place in the button
holes.
The binding for the buttonholes
should be of delicate color. If the
blouse is white, or white if the waist

AMERICAN FASHIONS.

Perhaps the prettiest thing about the
styles for autumn and winter is the
fancy for making sleeves long and
graceful and fitted to the arm. 1t is
an unwise person who let's a sleeve fit
tightly. since that interferes with the
circulation, but a sleeve that clings to
the arm sufficiently close to show its
outline is always attractive. The sleeve
in the model is a very pretty one and

She insists upon the small armhole
at a time when the dressmaking world
is adopting in a most extrayagant man
ner the elongated armhole. also the
shoulder cap that lowers the shoulder
line. If she does this, then we can do
it, too. and that is welcome news to
the woman who is never at her best in
a frock that has a dropping shoulder.
This line is definitely French, but not
American. We are sduarely built. most

Another deviation from what we have
