Milady's Styles Hark Back
to Simple and PrimatiUe
Says Authority on Dress

vet may be said to have struck a note
OF equality by being half way of a
peeress and also half way of a peas
ant and equally pleasing results. Not
being confined to the upper, lower or
middle classes exclusively It has con-
fined the middle Of all.
Many a last summers frock has
been freshened up to 1915 standards
by simply adding the peasant girdle
or bodice with its cord or ribbon
laces.
Then there is the popular smock
like the gardener and Greta the gard
ener's girl wear when they go weed :

den hats Of loose woven straw that
Milady has snatched from their simple
heads to perch on her own frivolous
pate.
Copying everything in the apron
line from the gay little lnconsequen-
tial affair affected by the ladies' maid
and the femme de chambre up to the
more durable models displayed by the
kitchen queen and presiding goddess
OF the laundry tubs she has converted
them by grace Of sheer fabrics and
threadlike laces into exquisite fin
ishlng touches on her smart summer
frocks.
The filmy fichu shouding her snowy
bosom was inspired by the kerchief
Of the simple dairy maid and to such
extremes is her penchant for all
things primitive taking her that they
have even affected her eating and
sleeping. She insists on taking her
food off the crude hand painted peas

Dame Fashion only plays at being
primitive.
Patch pockets aren't the only patch
on this seasons vagaries Of apparel.
Indeed the whole scheme Of q sue
cessful toilette seems to be patchy.
Three and even four different ma
terials and colors often go to make
up a single frock and the more the
merrier is the mode The tiny silken
jackets OF a plain color worn over a
bodice of striped material whose
sleeves and front are OF a transparent
white or ecru chiffon with the striped
skirt belted and banded with silk are
the most prevalent phase Of these
versatile costumes. Some of them
live up more closely to the patchwork
idea by having a combination of dot
ted silk trimmed in striped organdie
with plain transparent chiffon
sleeves, a plain silken jacket effect
and a belt and garnishment OF bead :

term to designate some of these ere
atoms, To dub them simply mess
comes nearer to the verities.
It's been a neck and neck race all
summer between the stripes and the
dots. Zebra girls will soon be turn
ing dotty, however, as stripes are
more dashing and noticeable and
therefore YOU tire Of them more eas-
lily than Of the more conservative lit
tie dot. Combining the stripes and
the dots gives a result startingly rem

To be sure this striking costume Of
note is a bit loud. but 1t strikes the
right keynote of the moment and
never is the least bit flat.
So don't doff your stripes to don
dots-just try little OF both.

THINKS WE SHOULD GIVE
UP PORT OF ALASK A

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. q
America should cede the Alaskan
panhandle to Canada and take over
from Mexico the Lower California
country was one of the declarations
Of Prof. William E. Ritter, a well
known biologist, in a lecture at the
summer school of the University OF
California.
According to Prof Ritter. each
country should own those pieces of
territory which 1t can best use. He
holds that this is one Of the most
practical methods of preventing
squabbles between nations, with the
wars which frequently result. He
proposes that America should set the
example by making the first move
THE Alaskan panhandle is of no
possible use to the United States and
will eventually breed trouble" he
said. AT the same time Mexico can
derive no benefit from Lower Cali
fornia, and that should be in the pos
session Of this country. as it con-
trolls the month Of the Colorado river.
THE country which can best use
a territory should have it. The war
in Europe is caused by the ineQuit-
able distribution of territory among
the nations. And this is really but
another aspect of the general prob
lem Of a more equitable distribution
of the worlds wealth among all class
es of society,""
Prof. Ritter is the author of a
work which holds that not only COM
petition but cooperation is at the
basis of evolution. He declares that
the laying of too much stress on the
Darwinian theory of struggle for ex.
istence has much to do with the pres.
ent war in Europe.

ROME, July 2.-(By Mail)-
You've come to Rome to go to the
Italian front.
First you've got lot of talking

can. But that's a pleasure. His
name is Thomas Nelson Page, and he
is the American ambassador to
Rome He comes from somewhere
way down south, to judge by his soft
accent and when YOU tell him that
you have come to Rome to go to the
Italian front he laughs a soft south

well. young man, Ah'll do nah

won't do much good"

one can understand your italian, but
at last you're led to the office of the
war minister
A grizzled officer comes out to
meet YOU. He is General Ella, the
sub-secretary of war.
We're not letting anybody go to
the front" he says in good English.
Maybe We'll have some tours for
correspondents after things get set
tied down, but just now there is no
hope. I'm sorry but that is the
way MATES stand"
Just as you're leaving, he adds.
you see the matter is entirely in
the hands of General Cadorna who
has charge Of field operations"
So Cadorna is the man to see, And
he's at the front. And you're not al
lowed at the front
But the next day YOU buy a ticket
for Venice: Venice is only so miles
from the front. and that's something.
You reach Venice at II o'clock at
night. No traveller has ever seen
Venice looking like this before, There
are no lights: the canals are silent
and deserted because Of military or
ders. For the half dozen traveles
who came in on the night train there
are four epndOlas In the brilliant
moonlight. YOU seem to be in a fairy
land as your gondolier rows YOU

are called canals This is a part Of

bloody war.
Your sleep, that night, is disturb

charm loses its power over you, as
you duck your head under the sheets,

admirers of the actress than it was

Adams had an intuitive feeling that

have found it welcome change from
the style of work with which the stage

it was a success. The result was the
rapid production of number of plays

with business and with morals. Some
authors went so far as to see the
lengths they could go to in shocking
