nets (and organizes when very sheer)
suggest any number of combinations
and great diversity in style.
The skirt in the costume shown is
made Of dark blue chiffon decorated
with bands Of the same shade in taf-
feta. 1t is straight and round and cut
to extend several inches above the
waist line on to the bodice. 1t is
shaped to the figure about the hips
and waist and to the lower part of the
bodice by means of cords run in mar
row tucks. These are drawn up, full.

yoke at the top of the skirt, terminal

This skirt is worn over a plain one of
taffeta
A dainty bodice of lace or net or any
of the softly falling semitransparent
fabrics, worn with this skirt, and a
corsage ornament, makes a pretty
dance or dinner frock of it

 In honor of the German enperors birthday, his troops have concentrated their energies to gain ground along the northern front in France, but appar- entIy the allies have been preparing for just such an attack and. according to the official announcement from the French war office, have succeeded in checking an advance. To the west of SoissOnS and around Craonne, the fighting has been of unusual severity and the Germans are reported to have suffered heavily. leaving a, thousand dead on the held of battle.
 Likewise the German statement an- EOunces relative successes of the Ger man army and heavy French losses. Austrians RecaPture Mountain Pass.
 In the eastern theater of the war probably the most important item of news relates to the Tecapture by the Austrians, as officially announced at VieHna, of IZsok Pass, one of the passes, which had been in the hands of the Russians for several weeks and over the occupation of which much deGnerate fighting has occurred.
 There Is little to add to previous reports rega -di~g the relative positions oT the oppOsiug forces in Russian Po- land. Galicia and EEaSst Prussia.
 The operations in the Carpathians are attracting much attention at Pet Tograd, where it is believed the prO- posed expedition against Siberia has been abandoned and the C4ern9qn forces, which were intended to take 9art iE this expedition. have been united with the Austrians, orineinz5 to- Eether total Of 3G0. 800 men. with the Coject of holding back the Russians moving through Bukowina.

UNUSUALLY LARGE STOCK
 OE POTATOES REPORTED.
European War Has Had No Material i
 Bearing or the Market.

Washington, Jan. 27.-In announcing today that unusually large stocks of potatoes were held on Jan. 1st in the large pOtato- producing states. the de- partment of agriculture warned south eI'R growers, who usually sell their spring crops in competition with the stocks carried over in the northern states, to take notice of the situation
 Prices are unusually low and there fore may not decline further" the de- partment's statement said, but mate rial advances in the next few months cannot be fOrevast from present sup plies. The United States seldom ex- ports or imports relatively a large quantity of potatoes. Therefore the European war has no material bearing directly upon the potato market of the United States
 Of the marketable supply of potatoes of the 1914 crop, 52.S per cent. remain ed ill the hands of producers or dealers on Jan. 1st. This is estimated to be 166,S46,000 bushels, in states which produced 78 per cent. of the United States crop.
