Cuats for either day or evening wear
must be carefully designed to fit into
the scheme of things, which varies
witt, the order of the day.
Two conservative models of coats
which are suited to n dress occa-
sion are pictured here. Taking them
as a guide, the individual may supply
details which will emphasize the ex-
treIper modes in collars and sleeves
and trimmings. The designs as shown
are elegant and not too difficult for
the faithful copyist.
The straight-hanging coat of ivory
white chiffon broadcloth has a wide
boSplait across the back, which
makes a folded panel from neck to
hem. A narrower plat is laid at each
side of it and is stitched down to the
belt line. There is a wide collar OF
marten fur which may be turned high
up about the neck, and bands Of the
same fur finish the cuffs. A cleverly
designed belt effect is achieved by set
ting the side pieces of the coat-skirt
in at the waist line, which is long and
defined by a piping of black satin.
This gives a flare to the skirt. The
upper edge of the belt is pointed and
piped with satin, and the body is made
full at the front, fastening a little to
one side.

TABLE DECORATIONS
BY EBEN E. RExFoRD.

/ fancy some readers saying we can
hot all have flowers for the table.
Greenhouses are not to be found in
every little village. Even if they
were, many of us could not afford to
purchase from them except on very
extra occasions.
True, but why not grow your own
plants? Then you will be indeed in
dependent of the florist to a consider
able extent.
Most women have plants in the win
dows, but the majority are not adapt
ed to table use.
The table plant for this purpose, all
things considered, is the asparagus
plumosus. 1t has foliage much daintier
than that of any fern.
1t can easily be made to grow in the
bushy compact form which a plant de-
signed for use on the table should
have.
This is done by pinching off the
ends of the young fronds when they
have made a growthof IL or Is inches.
This causes the lower side branches
to spread out broadly and breadth is
secured where there would be little If
the plant were allowed to train itself.
Such a plant is very attractive in it.
self with it's flmy green foliage, COM
parable only to lace, or mist, in it's
delicacy.
But whenever additional brightness
is desired a few long-stemmed flowers
thrust in among it's fronds will furnish
it in a most delightful manner. Roses,
carnations, narcissus, astilbe, stevia
all these and many more can be used
with it with most charming effect.
Have three or four plants of it and
you will have but little use for the
florist. They will be quite as attrac-
tive in the window as any other plants
that can be grown there, therefore
they will serve a double purpose.
Give this asparagus a soil of garden
loan made light with sand. Water
moderately. Sunshine is not neces-
sary to its successful culture.
Shower several times a week and
keep red spiders from injuring it. Be

The latest neckwear pieces, antici-
pating the holiday demand, are among
the most tempting things displayed
In the shops. Crepe g~eorgette, as
well as crgandie and batiste, has been
employed for making new neckwear,
and fine wolfe is exploited in this best
of fields, for it's sheerness and dainti-
ness. Both these fabrics, fragile as
they look, are remarkably strong and
worthy the careful needlework thai
claims attention as the best possible
decoration for them.

groups of tiny tucks. and shocking
are ~charrningly i'll keeping with the
fine fabrics used. Narrow knife plait-
ing, also, with hemstitched edges,
makes an exquisite finish for collars
and cuffs. Much of the needlework is
done by hand, but hemstitched edges
or lines are usually machine-made and
enter into the composition of nearly
all neckpieces.
When laces are used, very narrow
cluny, crocheted laces and tatting pro-
vide the best choice, but the palmer
| finishes seem to be preferred.
Two pretty examples of neckpieces
are pictured above. A small sailor
! ,ollar is set on a narrow, straight

A coat cut on somewhat similar
lines is shown in the second picture.
1t might be made Of broadcloth, OF
heavy jersey cloth, or any of the fab
RIGS mentioned as suited to coats that
must be graceful and not too weighty.
Two features of this model bespeak
for it special consideration. They are
the collar and the belt, both very nov
ell and practical. The collar is con-
vertible, but when turned uE does not
extend entirely across tho front or
the neck, an item that will be ap'
preciated by the short-necked wearer.
The belt of the fabric does not extend
across the back, but overlaps a band
of satin. which joins the full skirt to
the shaped body.
Plain pointed pieces are set on to
the belt at each side, and the belt
dips toward the front. The body is
fulIed by means of plaits at the waist
line and falls in straight lines below
the bust. Everywhere is evidence that
the designer has worked to produce
an effect of slenderness, and the coat
is an excellent model for a full figure,
on this account.
Silk ornaments and buttons of the
material finish a design which por-
trays the present modes in a manner
which compels admiration.

An Artistic Arrangement.

sure to nip off the end Of each shoot,
as advised above, to make the plant
spread out well.
Many plants "a be secured OF h
florists and these can be divided next
season. One good sized plant can be
made to serve as half a dozen small
plants in the spring, each one of which
will become quite large enough for the
table use by fall.
A combination of ferns can be easily
grown for use on the table. The broad
tums go well together.
The grace of these plants is adapted
to the table where quality is consid-
cred as more important than quantity.
A combination of ferns Of different
variety with plants having pretty
foliage In color is beautiful. In this
case peperomia and tr~adescantia are
used to supply the desired effect.
Fern pans filed with small plants of
varieties best calculated to give sue
cessful results in the living room, can
be bought of nearly all the florists.
One should not depend upon a single
specimen. Have two, three or more to
admit of frequent change.
Few plants can be kept on the table
day after day without becoming I'M
healthy. Have several and allow none
of them to do decorative duty for
longer than a day or two at a time.
At holiday time there will be at
tractive plants on the market and
some of these are admirably adapted
to table use.
There is the Jerusalem cherry, a.
miniature bearing scarlet fruit, and
the ardisia, a plant with rich, dark
foliage against which it's dark, red ber-
ries show to most pleasing effect.
Small plants of araucaria are not
pretty but are so peculiar in habit
that they always attract attention and
challenge admiration.
A plant of ~poinsettia with its scarlet
Towering will make the table radiant
with it's wealth of color.
Pots of Roman hyacinth are charm
ing adjuncts of the breakfast table, as
are lilies of the valley or narcissus.
These will last for a long time if they
are removed to the window as OOH as
the meal is over.

CHASTISER OF CAPITALISTS

Frank P. Walsh, as chairman or
the federal industrial relations com
mi1sion, made the country sit up and
take notice by his verbal chastisement
of capitalists. Persons who like
radical u~tterances applauded him as
a man of fearless courage. Other
folk of the more conservative sort
were Mortified, and called him an agi'
tating demagogue and trouble-maker.
Mr.. Walsh, who comes from Kan
sas City, Mo-, was appointed as n
of the three representatives of the
public, the other two groups in h
commission representing the employ
ers and the employees. Walsh was
the only one who jumped out of his
class in the findings of the commits
sion. He stood with the three labor
members in the main report of the
commission assailing capitalism.
Although Walsh went with the Ia

proletariat in Kansas City. He owns

band and it overlaps a ruf1e Of gradu-
ated width forming a V-shaped open
ing at the front. 1t is made of fine
wolfe with hemstitched edges and an
inserted line of hemstitching about an
inch from the edge.
The second collar is of plain or
candle with a rolled hem and an edge
of cluny lace. 1t is wired at the back
and flares from the point of the "
shaped opening at the front. A tie
of narrow black velvet ribbon is
crossed at the front and fastened with
a small gold pin.
This little touch of black velvet is
a feature in the making or finishing
of many of the new neckpieces. The
contrast of black velvet with sheer
white materials is very elegant. The
velvet is introduced in a way to make
1T easily detached when the collar
must be laundered. One of the
charms Of these neckpieces lies in the
fact that they return from the wash
as fresh as if newly made, and they
last a long time.

NEW CHINESE MINISTER

Hundreds of young men and won
en- scattered throughout the United
States remember their young Column
bia university friend, V. K. Wellington
Koo. 1t hasn't been so many months
since he graduated with them and
went home to China. Should they
desire to see Doctor Koo now, they
will find him minister to the United
States, at the Chinese embassy in
Washington.
Doctor Koo is just thirty years
old. To him has been intrusted the
destiny of China in its relation to the
western world. He has dedicated his
life to save China as a nation from
being dismembered and swallowed up
in the maelstrom of the European
war"
Doctor Koo was popular at Column

editor of the college paper, and active
in athletic and literary groups. Doctor
Koo has grown a trifie more sedate

ARCTIC CIRCLE SENATOR

Frank A. Aldrich is a hardy man,
and he needs to be in order to fulfill
his public duties. For Mr.. Aldrich
is a member of the upper house of the
legislature of Alaska, and when the
lawmakers of the territory are called
in session he girds up his loins, packs
his dog sledges and sets out on a trip
from the Arctic circle that lasts thirty
eight days. Thirty-three az these days
are spent travelling on a sledge.
Down here this seems like a
hardy adventure, but in Alaska the
inhabitants do not think it anything
out of the ordinary, and Senator Aid
rich has had a life training that makes
him look on it as rather trivial. In
deed, when he was in New York re-
Gently for the first time he intimated
that a sledge journey of hundreds of
miles over the snowy wastes was moth
ing to compare with a trip across
Fifth avenue through the streams of
automobiles.

WOULD TAX RICH HEIRS

Ex-senator Norris of Nebraska says
Be -dntends to introduce in the senate
a bill providing for a graduated tax
on inheritances.
"An inheritance tax" Senator Nor
ris says, would not take from any
man a single dollar he had done any
fling toward earning. 1t would, in
fact, take only a part of the property
that the legislatures of the states or
of the Nation have a right, if they
see fit, to take away entirely.
81 do not believe any injustice can
come from taking away a portion of
an inheritance from a man who has
done nothing whatever toward its ac-
QUESTION. It is taking something that
he has not produced. The particular
provisions l propose will leave enough,
without any serious taxation, to keep
him and all his friends and family in
absolute luxury during all their lives"
Mr.. Norris proposes to tax all in
h~eritances, direct and collateral, in
excess of $4,000. The ate he pro-
poses is 1 per cent on the first $50, 900
