A Program Of Service.


Now. the Democratic party does
know how to serve business In this
country and its future program is a
program OF service. We have clear
ed the decks. We have laid the lines
now UPON which business that was
doing the country harm shall be stop
ped and the economic control which
was intolerahle shall be broken up.
We have emAncipated America. but
America must do something with her
freedom.
There are great bills pending in
the United States Senate just now that
have been passed by the House of
Representatives which are intended as
constructive measures in behalf OF
business--one great measure which
VIII make available the enormous
water powers of this country for the
industries OF the country; another
bill which viii unlock the resources
Of the public domain. which the Re
publicans desire to have locked up so
nobody can use them.
But there are other things we have
to do.
The -iaborer of this country needs
TO be guided from opportunity to on
poTtunity, Just the other day we were
told that In TWO States OF the Union
So,ooV men were needed to gather the
crcos. IL was suggested in a cabinet
meeting that the Department of
Labor should have printed .nforma-
ron about this in such form that II
eoH'a be posted up In The postoffices
al over the United States and that
the Department OF Labor should get
IN touch with the labor departments
OF me states SO that notice could go
OUT from them.
Well what was the result? Theso

pared to accept the same and we see
great many skirts made full yet so
arranged as to give straight lines. A
costume that makes a good example
and that comes from well-known de-
signer shows exquisite crepe in black
and white. The skirt is laid in wide
plaits at each side to produce the
panel effect and the side seams also
are open for short distance to reveal
the white silk skirt beneath. There is
abundant fullness when the wearer
walks, that fact is evident, but when
the figure is in repose, the skirt takes
straight lines. A plain little bodice
always accompanies the extremely full
skirts, that seems to be an inherent law
of fashion. One of the smartest of the
lingerie frocks shows full skirt COW
cred with rows of narrow lace ruffles and
with very wide ruffle at the top ex-
tending over the hips. The bodice
consists of perfectly plain guinpe Of
lace and little sleeveless over-bodice
of black velvet, the lower edge ofwhich
is embroidered in silver threads. The
neck edge of the guimpe is finished
with wide Pierrot frill, and the over
bodice is cut to form an extremely
low neck, and it is sleeveless.

BOLERO AND ETON EFFECTS ARE
BEING WORN
THERE IS ALSO A TENDENCY TOWARD FULL
SKIRTS THAT CAN BE MADE TO FLARE
BEING WORN

As good simple costume as any
that has appeared is made from one
of the American ginghams in a most
attractive plaid, and with vest, collar
and cuffs of white linen and with a
crushed belt of ribbon in one of the
brightest shades that is found in the
plaid, and that gives an exceedingly
picturesque note. The skirt is Of the
semi-circular sort with seams at the
sides, and it is gathered across the
back. The bodice is quite simple and
plain at the back, but with a little
vest and the front portions unusually
shaped to form points that pass over
the ends of the girdle and hold it in
place. The collar is one of the high
military sort, but open at the front,
and the vest is turned back to form a
small V. The design is good. and the
effect is as perfect as any that could
be obtained by any imported fabric.
yet the gingham was manufactured
in our own New England, and the cot
ton. as a matter of course. has grown
upon our own soil.

LATEST FASHION NOTES
from the FASHION CENTERS

The cotton fabrics are really fasci-
mating, and they make most inter.
esting study. We long since ceased
to think of cotton as simple material,
for it is now woven into most eX-
quisite fabric. 1t is given as great
variety and as great beauty OF color
as the richest silks, and incidentally,
in it's higher form it is not Of greatly
less cost. At the moment we are see
ing exhibitions of the wonderful
French output, and almost by. their
side, other exhibitions entirely OF
American manufacture. 1t is graft
fying to note that the colors and de-
signs are as good in one as in the other,
while the American output represents
greatly less cost. From France come
crepes that are marvels of texture
and great many of them show bro
caded effects in the heavy ratine-like
threads thrown up on the delicate
surface. The American manufac-
turers are also putting out fine crepes,
but with them great many voiles
and these voiles are shown in broche
and in brocaded effects and also with
hand-printed flowers that are exquisite
in effect. and they lend themselves to
the 1850 styles with perfect success.
There is a great deal of black and
white as was to be expected, but there
are also marvellous colors, sand and
putty shades reappear in the summer
goods and some wonderful brocaded
crepes show sand-color background
with the figures in blue and in various
other colors as we'll to give a most
beautiful result The blues include
a great many new shades, a great
many essentially summer-like shades
and then there are soft yellow tones
that are a real delight. while pigeon
blood and granium reds are very
charming in combination with white,
and again lavendar and emerald green
take conspicuous place.. Whatever
may or may not be developed in the
world of design, cotton stuffs are with
US, and they afford such fascinating
variety as to invite early buying.
Ginghams of home manufacture are
as beautiful in color and in design as
any we ever have seen, and we have
cause for satisfaction in the display
of American stuffs, and it is to be
hoped that made at home" will be
an incentive to buy. When it does
we will have taken a big step, and it
the war brings about that result, it
will have done so much good at least.
Bordered fabrics always appear with
the early output, and just now they
are exceptionally beautiful. A most
fascinating gown that is to go South
during the month and is designed for
a debutante, is made of fine cotton
crepe with a wonderful border in
heavier ratine. The gown consists
of narrow skirt of simple silk, over
which straight gathered tunic OF Dor
dered stuff is arranged, and this tunic
is further edged with frill Of lace
which falls so close to the skirt as to
only suggest the tunic idea. The
skirt is raised to the Empire waist

A N exceedingly handsome gown

threads in Napoleon blue. The skirt

cred at its upper edge. but it is finished
at the lower edge with hem Of soft
crepe de chine matching the blue in
shade, but the upper edge Of this
hem has a tiny little ruching OF crepe

breasted Elton that extends Just to the
waist-line, and it is finished with
double row of medium sized buttons
covered with the silk and all the seams
are corded with the silk. 1t is exceed
ingly interesting and it is exceedingly
smart and attractive and also delight
fully reminiscent. 1t is evident that
ali the bolero and Elton effects are
being employed and the Elton unques-
tionably is we'll adapted to such ma
terial as the brocaded crepes and the
little boleros are put to a thousand
attractive uses. A tendency toward
full skirts that can be made to flare
is not to be overlooked, but it also is
evident that all women are, not pre-

Pretty Gowns for Evening Wear, Easily Made-

separate back that also is draped and
which can be cut in dancing length or
with train. Here the houncing ex-
tends to the upper edge but If deep
girdle is worn that extends down over
the hips slightly narrower houncing
would be preferred. The little basque
is one of the prettiest of its kind. 1t is
a basque, as it is finished over the
skirt, but it extends so little below
the waist line that it seems scarcely to
call for the name. 1t is very dainty
and exceedingly smart in it's lines. In
the picture the fullness in the front
and in the sleeves is held by beautiful
iewelled buttons. and buttons this
season are being extensively used in
such ways and they are wonderfully
beautiful. 1t would be hard to find
anything prettier than the lace over
the soft satin, but nevertheless, there
are other materials that can be used
for the gown. Net suggests itself for
the tunic for net is favorite of the
season. Crepe de chine or indeed any
of the soft finished silks can be utilized
in the same way, and for the basque
and skirt could be used in either
plain or fancy material, or velvet
would be handsome used just as satin
is here with the lace for the tunic, for
velvet this season is so soft and pliable
that it can be put to many uses.
For the medium size the basque will
require rs yds. Fl, or q yds. SO or ~
in. wide, with u yds. lace 4 in. wide
for the trimming. The skirt will re-
quire 2T yds. Of material Sc or a. in.

the draped back with train, 2 yds.
