 Even while the war wages designers are thinking seriously of rejecting all suggestions of the military in the fash ions to be. Just how far they will be able to carry out their peaceful inten- tions remains to be seen. War has greatly influenced the fashions of wom- en from time inmenorial and will doubtless do until war Is no more. The court costumes of Louis XIV. Louis XIV. and Louis XVI. are said to be replacing the influence of the pres ent war.
 While every one knows that winters tailored suits are to have passably long coats. as winter suits invariably have 1t is somewhat surprising to learn that some of the coats are so long as to fall two or three inches below the hens of the accompanying skirts and give the appearance of gowns. It is observed. too. that the winter coats are inclined to curves and that these lines require complete annihilation of the sIouch1ng carriage affected for the past two seasons.

They will serve no purpose but that of or11amentation pure and sinl- pie, even most of the fastenings of frocks being really closed with snaps and the. buttons serving to hide the snap stitches
 Plaits are coming for fall skirts, and welcome they will be. When in fashion there is no prettier skirt than the p1aited model, and it is becoming to ali ages and almost every type of figure.
 The choker has arriyed-not the choker open at the front, as madam has insisted upon having it during the summer, but the choker that comes up to the chin and sometimes envelops it. Most of these new models are un- boned and therefore sufficiently soft to be comfortable, even though more con- hnfng than the cutaway models of the summer. .FlETl'CE a@7 zz1-S

What does President Wilson
mean to do with Mexico in the
event that the revolutionary lead

his own business? This is pret-

demand upon them to settle their

the conditions of the country to
a peaceable basis. President
Huerta handed Mr.. Wilson that
kind of reply, and Mexicans
are all pretty much alike. Should
this government undertake to
intervene in Mexico, it could do
SO effectively only by force of
