Use Of Wall Paper
in Picture FramH1iu

A CHARMING picture framing idea
= rs the use Of wall papers for mats.
Not only dark green, gray. blue and
red cartridge papers are used for
| mats, but the figured wall papers as
well. One Of the prettiest Landscape
pictures recently shown in an exhibit
had for mat cream satin wall paper.
marked with gauzy spider webs con-
nected with a silken spider thread. In
the upper left-hand corner Of the pic
ture was a spider weaving a web about
a huge crimson rose. The effect was
exquisite, combining, as 1t DID. the
cream and gray tones with the red OF
the rose. 4
Another wall paper idea was a water
color sketch of child. which was
framed with mat made of violet wall
paper. The frame itself was Of violet
passe partout, which made Il fitting
object to hang on the boudofr walls OF
the elderly woman for whom 1t was In
tended.
A dainty little country landscape had
for its setting a mat made of Wild rose
crepe paper. The frame was Of pink
ribbon pasted on the glass the same as
in passe partouting. This picture, too,
was for a boudoir.
Tapestry Is a favorite material for
mats since this new craze came in. Pic
lures framed In this manner. whether
large or small. usually have gilt frames
Of either passe partout or nolding.
Oval shapes are much favored Rem
nants of tapestry which have seen
their best days. but which are valued
because of their association, are kept
intact in this manner, thus serving a
double purpose. Pink shades OF tap
estry, with a gold thread and green
shades, with touches Of brown are both
popular in this new role.
Some of the prettiest pictures seen
recently were Holland scenes OF the
windmill type in Delft blue. They were
mounted on mats Of the same shade
of blue book linen, and were framed
in Delft blue passe partout.

There is no unanimity about the

clears the floor or the ground. the
width is a matter Of preference. But
that preference should be given after
serious weighing to and fro Of the type
of skirt that most BELTS ones special

always becoming. there will be a con-
tinuance of the narrow hem, although
the rest Of the skirt will yield to fash

EMPIRE SLEEVES GAIN FAVOR.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUSE.
,i,, c.,-rcsnon,,ep.c of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. February S.-There are
two weighty things to consider before
accepting the fashion for the empire
effects in evening frocks. One is the
age of the wearer and the other the
Nssomeness of the figure.
Josephine. the woman who created
the style in order to show off her
perfect figure, was certainly no longer
young when she became the glass of
fashion for not only France. but the
world. She believed that the empire
lines hid whatever marks the years
had traced upon her physical per
sonality, but somehow the woman of
today, and especially of America, does
not grow old In the same manner as
Josephine did.
For the young and the slender al
things are possible. One does not even
have to suggest that truth in a dress
epoch when every new style seems to
be especially created for fortunate
youth. But the women VINO nave
passed the thirty mark must be clothed
also, and it is the woman of forty or
over who seems to dominate the world
today, socially. and even sentimentally,
so clothing for her must be taken sert-
ously into the reckoning.
Go Far Back.
There are many kinds of new fash
ions coming over from France this
week, and not all of them call for the
empire: some strongly suggest the
early eighties, or go further back into
the eighteenth century: There are st1il
the sinuous styles of the house of
Callot, and Beer finds pleasure in Gre
ating clinging medieval gowns from
old pictures. ~
One is not compelled to wear the en-
pire evening frock any more than one
feels out of the picture by wearing
waistless. clinging. narrow -sktrted Sc
Qufn robe Never was there an epoch
when woman had such liberty of
choice, and never have women taken
better advantage of 1t as regards ex-
penditure Gowns four years old have
done duty at fashionable dances. Econ |
omy has been the cry. aided by the as
sertion that there are no fashions this |
season. The former was not always |
necessary and the latter was a mis- |
statement.

Economy Of Preparedness.
From the MINNEAPOLIS .To1,rnal


An earnest pacifist points to the fact
that the nearly perfect preparedness Of
Germany did not saw that nation from
war. The answer to this is obvious. Not
one of the allied nations was in warlike
fitness. The u~nreadiness of France, Eng
land and Russia. was an invitation and a
temptation which Germany, at the apex
of 40 years of military preparation, could
not resist.
The true cause of this incredible conflict
was that Germany, herself the only nation
in Europe ready for war, refused to per-
nit her great neighbors to begin to get
ready. For nearly half a century Ger
many had held q monopoly on prepared
ness even as she had built up an Indus
trial mastery OF the business Of manufac-
turing. great guns, munitions and trans
portation vehicles, and she would not toll
crate even the incipiency Of like activities
by powerful rival nations.
The billions which England is now pour
ing into the war chests Of Russia, France
and her lesser allies, added to the enor-
nous sums hastily squandered in the in
credible emergency by all the unprepared
government is the best demonstration Of
the actual economy Of timely and rational
preparation, as compared with the fever
ish waste and e~xtravagant methods me-
cessitated by the desperate ituatio In
which the allies find themselves.

NOT GIVING ANYTHING AWAY

Gov. Moses Alexander of Idaho was
condemning, at the governors confer

rust.
This trusts methods" he said, re
mind me Of old Sam Bemis, the miser.
Sans warehouse was overrun with
rats, and he hired a rat catcher to
clean them out. The rat catcher got
&c work early one morning, and late
in the afternoon presented himself be-
fore the old man with a triumphant
air. an enormous bag of dead rats on
his back.
We'll, Mr.. Bemis,' he said. I've
cleaned your place Of rats accordln' to
contract, and you won't have to bother
about the dead corpses, either, for I'm
takin' them all away with me. Look
a-here.'
The rat cacher lowered the bag
from his shoulder, opened it, and dis
played a huge mass of dead rodents.
The bill, Mr.. Bemis,' he added, 'is
$2.25.'"
HIN, yes, 1925 he said. But
