Every girl likes a becoming negligee.
Here is very charming one that is so
simple that it can be made in few hours,
The neck can be finished with a frill
or with collar. The body portion and
sleeves to be fitted and only the under
arm seams to be sewed up; the simple
gathered skirt is joined to the body por-
tion, the shirrings and ribbon regulating
the size. Nothing could be prettier or
daintier and nothing more simple. Lawn
and voile, the soft India silks, cotton
crepes, crepe de chine and the slightly
warmer albatross and challis, all would
make charming garments of the sort.
In the late summer, mornings and even
ings are apt to be cool and albatross is
likely to be needed, while it provides
very charming color effects. In the pic
ture, fowered cotton voile is finished
with organdie frills and the frills are hem
stitched.
For the I6 year size will be required

Drug Fiends Number Less
Than 100000 in U. S.
Special to The Teierrnbh

Washington, Aug. Tt is estimated
by Martin |. Wilbert, technical expert
in the Government hygienic labora-
tory, that the number of drug fiends
in the United States amounts to less
than 100000. This conclusion results
from reports from hospitals and by a
comparison with drug importations
1t had been predicted that the re-
suit of the enforcement of the law
would be a besieging of hospitals by
drug addicts, and a wave of crime of
national scope, accompanied by a trail
of suicide and death" Mr. Wilbert
says, while the effect of the enforce
ment of the Federal antinarcotic law
has been clearly evidenced by such re-
ports the results have been by no
means so far-reaching or so startling
as had been expected"
Practically all of the opium and So
caine used in this country, he asserts.
is imported through legitimate chan
nels, and because of the comparatively
high import tax considerable care is
exercised to insure the recording of
the product.
Converting the recorded quantities
of the several drugs imported into
average doses, as presented in the
| Pharmacopeia Of the United States. we
! find that for some years the total
amount of these drugs imported has
been fairly uniform and will average
approximately $500, ,000,0 900 doses of
| opium, it's derivatives and alkaloids.
and 225, 100000 doses of coca leaves
| and cocaine" Mr. Wilbert saws.

The gulf between the people of
wealth and the worlds toilers can
never be bridged until some method
lis found to awaken the brains and
hearts of the wealthy class to a bet
ter understanding of those who work
for a living.
The most Indifferent, inconsiderate,
thoughtless and careless people on
earth when 1t comes to the paying of
bills and the liquidation of debts
which are justly due are the people
who possess fortunes and large in
comes. The poor and the modestly
comfortable classes are far more
keenly alive to their obligations in
these matters, and they pay their
debts with much greater promptness
than do people of wealth.
Ask any of the music teachers,
teachers of languages, dressmakers.
tailors, merchants and tradesmen
in the land, and they will corrobor-
ate these statements.
A young woman music teacher said
recently: My patrons are almost all
people of wealth. They employ me
for their daughters, wives and sisters,
and make no protest at my price.
Yet when / present my bills at the
end of a term the greater number of
my patrons compel me to wait six,
eight and even twelve months for a
settlement.
This is in order that their money

I am obliged to keep continually in

ceived 1t goes to pay for what one
generally terms dead horses
''The few people of modest means
who employ me are far more
thoughtful and considerate."
There seems to be something in
the possession of great wealth Which
creates a hardening of the heart and
a binding of the spiritual vision to-
ward others less fortunately situat-
ed
A French teacher popular among
the ultrafashionable circles of New
York city. a few years ago was
obliged to give up his rooms because
his patrons went to Europe for the
summer owing him money. He had
relied upon 1t to pay his rent in ad-
vance. Innumerable cases could be
cited. 1t is not the exceptional situa-
ton; the exceptional case is that of
the wealthy man or woman who
pays a debt.
The condition excites animosity
in the minds of the worlds toilers
and does much to increase unrest.
1t would be an excellent idea If all
teachers, merchants and tradesmen
could combine in a union and respect
fully demand better treatment and
more prompt payments in their deal
ings with the rich.

U. s. Differentiates Between Ships
Plying the Seas and Those Which

(By Associated Press.)

Washing ton, Aug. State de-
partment officials are preparing TO
answer Great Britain's reply to the
latest American representations
against interference Of neutral CON-
merce. The British note, published
today, refuses to accept the conten-
ton that the orders in council are
illegal, claiming they are wholly
within international law aid Great
Britain will continue to enforce such
orders, with every effort to avoid
actual embarrassment to neutrals .
1t is denied that the blocking of
neutral ports violates jnternaticnal
law and Great Britain reflses free
passage to goods originating in Ger
man or German controlled territory.
The reply is embodied in two notes,
one supplementary. together with
correspondence over the American
steamer Neches, from Rotterdam for
the United States, with goods OF
German origin. The notes. total
seven thousand words. An answer
will be forthcoming shortly to the
German note concerning the Will
liam P. Frye. and will probably be
given out for publication tomorrow
morning.
The American reply admits un-
usual conditions, but differentiates
between ships on the high seas and
ships which go from British ports
and try to run the blockade. 1t con-
tests the legality of taking the for
