FASHION
LETTER,
BY
M4RE LA ROCQLE

New York once. MOnOIIth Building.
- w 34th ST., New York City.
Quaint-abused word though it be-is
the one word that describes the fashions
that are coming.
Boufrant skirts, plain little bodices, pic
turesque hats and all the other details
that go to make up the coming silhOu-
ette-all look as if they had been hauled
out of some old trunk. with a sort Of
Ponce de Leon propensity to bestOw
freshness and youth on its contents.
For the new clothes are crisp and fresh
and youthful in appearance. for all their
old-fashioned lines.
One wonders just how the young woman
of the spring of 1915 is going TO fit her
self into these clothes. Experienced
though she may be in changing her fig
ure. her personality and even her face
to suit her clothes. she will, doubtless,
have trouble in assuming the new role
that these coming clothes demand. But
she can do il, il she will. And. doubt
less. she will. She usually does what
fashion expects of her.
So far. this new silhouette seems to
belong to the young woman. Doubtless
before very long. But now the best place
to see it expounded is at a debutante's
dance.
Some Of the debutantes have worn de
lightful little evening froclls of faille
and taffeta, made with wide skirts, held
out on a cord at the bottom. and with
plain bodices. There is a great difference
in the location OF the waist line. Some
of these big-skirted frOcks are short
wasted, some have wide Eirdles, and
some have tight bodices. laced up over
a tulIe or chiffon foundation. and coming
over the skirt in a sharp point at the
front In other incarnations the bout

Friday, January y, 1919.
Although Uranus is in a benefic aspect,
Mars is so strongly adverse that astrolo-
gers read this as an unfortunate day.
Those who are wise will avoid contro-
versies of every sort. It is a most un-
fortunate time to attempt any settle
ments of business. Gain will come to
those who wait.
Mars in evil place causes an increase of
danger from accidents, astrologers be-
lieve- 1t is not an auspicious day for
Journeys or changes. If action in any i'm
portant matter is imperative, delay
should be obtained, according to the
theories Of those who read the stars.
It is not a good time for beginning jour
neys. Accidents on railways are fore
shadowed. Heavy storms are probable in
the West.
Buying is under ban while this confiE-
uration prevails. All commercial trans
actions should be made with unusual eau
ton
Terrible suffering is probable where the
Russians and Germans meet. Losses
from disease will reduce the Kaiser's
army this month.
In all the large cities OF the United
States armies of unemployed men and
women who will require aid this month
will cause new philanthropic enterprises
that provide work to be established.
Socialism will make tremendous prog
ress this winter. a leader will gain fame
by his practical methods Of aiding his
fellow-men.
Saturn eliminating in Berlin next sum

there will be municipal scandals OF the
most serious nature.
In England an astrologer predicts the
disgrace of a prominent member of Par
Lament next summer and the probable
resignation of a minister
Warning against the prevalence OF a
serious throat trouble is given.
Military activity and naval engage
ments on the Pacific coast are fcretold.
The complete eclipse OF an American
statesman who has been prominent in
the present administration at Washing
ton again is prognosticated.
The seers declare that secrecy at Wash
ington will prevent knowledge of a seri-

poor diplomacy.
Persons whose birthdate it is have the
augusry of rather an anxious year. They
should guard both health and wealth

House is pleased TO deliver the greeting

Many Of the Democratic women in

AND NOlZ2S
January 8-Julia Glover, Queen
Helene of Italy.

Today is the birthday of the beautifuI
Queen Of Italy. who was married nineteen
years ago to King Victor Emmanuel III.
She was the fourth daughter of the King
of Montenegro. and her marriage with
the Italian King is said to be- a love
match. il ever love matches come the
way Of kings and queens.
Julia Glover, an English actress who
was born on January s. 1739 like most
other famous actresses. began her stage
career when she was a me-e child. At
sixteen she was playing th- part OF
Desdemona with real success. She had
a great deal of ability and considera bic
beauty, but happiness was never TO be
her lot. Her father, lazy sort of man,
who preferred to drive his daughter
rather than work himself sold her when
she was nineteen years old for the con-
sderation of $500 pounds to 4 worthless
man like himself. named Samuel Glover
As matter of fact. Glover never paid
the entire sum, and the father never re-
linquished full claim on his mOney-mak-
ing daughter.
But in spite of all her unhappincSs, and
in spite of the fact that. as time went
on. she had not only father and = hUs-
band to support. but several growing chill
dren. Mrs. Glover was often considered
the first comic actress Of tine English
stage. Her Mrs. MaIeprop" mas never
been surpassed. Toward the end of rer
career she was generally called the
mother of the English stage
One Of the most remarkable powers that
Mrs. Glover possessed was h"r memory.
1t is said that after thirty years had
elopsed since she played a certain part
she could recall it entire and 81 through

The traditional belief OF the world is
in wOmans greater morality, sensitive
ness and refinement. as compared TO
man. The real fact. when one studies
humanity carefully. proves the contrary.
Woman is more daring, more reckless.
and reader to sacrifice principle at the
call Of passion than man. After she has
made her sacrifice she is drawer in fac
ing the world than is man.
But looking little closer into the
Causes. one may find A somewhat COM
plimcn,ary explanation of mans weak
ness ia this respect. Deep In the soul
of every man there lies a profound ad-
mirntiOn and high esteem, bordering
upon reverence, for ideal wOmRnhOOd.
Nc matter how low a man may he, no
matter how crime-stained or SIn-pOl-
Iuted his mind, yet ever does he guard
his ideal in the little white shrine
which Is hidden In each mans inner
self
Woman is called a paradox; hut man
is in reality much more paradOXiCal:
worshiping pure womanhOOd and seek
ing ever for his ideal. yet so soon as
man reaches adolescence he sets forth
on lifes journey using every vile known
to him to lead woman down from her
pedestal.
After he has achieved his seeming pur-
pose and the woman has fallen into his
arms, there is ever profound sorrow in
his heart. When a man really loves a
woman and achieves her ruin. he suffers
more keenly than she does in the thought
that she has forfeited the respect OF the
world. The natural impulse of every
lover is that the world should don its
hat in the presence Of his beloved.
The natural impulse of every woman
who loves is only that she be loveG
wholly and unreservedly in return.
Let every woman realize this incon>
trovertIble fact who today stands tempt
ed to defy the laws of society ana
church and state and go forth to seek
happiness as the soul-mate or spirit-at-
fnity of some man who cannot claim her
openly.
So surely as she lives and he lives
there will come just such a day to her
as came to the woman who lives in the
hospital. We are told that the tragic

thing 1t is pretty, and usually becoming.
But certainly the shOrt-waisted, full
skirted frocks, some times with the
bodice assuming bOlerO-like lines. are by
far the more charming.
Another detail Of these revived styles
that the debutantcs have taken to with
enthusiasm is velvet ribbon.
Its use Is not new. II was brought into
action last summer in France. Some
times il was applied to satin or silk in
the form Of stripes and checks, and Il
was used in many other ways as TRIM
ming. But it is especially good in the
velOped in July.
One debutantc recently wore a frOck
with a very full skirt. gathered into
fitted bOd!Cc-all OF white faillc. The
skirt was striped with bands of two-inCh

THE GREAT WHITE WAY
By o. o. M'INTYRE.

New York. Jan. s-Gaby Deslys has
wired her New York manager for new
dancing partner. thus announcing 20
Broadway another shattered romance.
Harry Pilcer was an East Side boy dane
ing around for what he could pick up IL.
the cheaper concert halls when he was
selected by Gaby and made her team
mate.
She took him to Paris and then on a
trip around the world and also insisted
that his name be in electric lights in
front Of the theater where she appeared
Just as her name was.
The report Is that the separation is
due to the fact that a new romantic at
tachment has entered into the life Of La
Belle Gabrielle and as for NJ. Harri-well,
he must Join that ever-growing army Of
the unemployed. Pilcer was cast adrift
just as Gaby leased a London theater
for three months.

rIed through the lines-not dear or

Dickinson. special representative Of the
State Department at the Panama Pacific
Exposition, at the White House yester-
day.
ITS not war, it's murder. The sight
was sickening. nauseating. Over our
heads projectiles were passing back and
forth, amid a scream and crash that was
maddening. The men in the trenches are
not firing at each other. They go mad.
crazed with the Ceaseless noise, and jump
out of the trenches and fly at each other
with bayonets. You see soldiers go at
each other with empty hands and seize
each others throats in mad frengzy.
Many are thus checked to death.
