II Dress Notes from Drecol

Charles Drecoll says that fashion
has evolved much during the last six
months and will continue in this man
ner: Skirts will grow wider and wider,
always remaining short. Very short,
indeed, as the youthful silhouette re-
sulting from that mode is approved by
women as adapted to time like these
dreadful days of the war, when they
are constantly travelling, and require
skirts which will permit them to walk
easily. The materials in use are silk,
velvet and faille. Woollen, too, Is en-
ployed. but you must remember that
the latter fabric is difficult to get, as
our principal mills are in the invaded
territories and that the other mills are
being worked for military purposes.
Colors are dark, navy blue, black,
brown and gray. The jackets will be
very tight to avoid making n heavy
Silhouette: sleeves for the same reason
narrow. Few embroideries, perhaps
somewhat more laces than generally.
High collars"

But just as we had plunged into that
question which Mrs. Daniels had
answered, we plunged out Of it. For
really, there was nothing more on that
subject for Mrs. Daniels to say; size
calls and she likes it, and the rest Of
Washington says that she makes ex-
cellent work of it, call that eff
ciency-to do the thing you have to
do with zest and with success.
SO necessarily Mrs. Daniels began to
talk about other things. To start the
conversational ball, put to her that
time-honored, threadbare question, are
you a sufragst?
"No, I'm not" she replied brightly,

property rights and an educational

By higher mathematics.)

X/OUR foreigner says that, just as
all little American boys are
going to be President. so their
sisters have fond aspirations toward
being the Presidents wife, that they
dream and dream of the Blue Room as
the fitting reward if they are good and
don't muss their sashes.
Now. everybody knows that the for
eigner is wrong. American girls never
think of being a Presidents wife
would rather be the President any day.
But, anyhow. what sort of life is this
that we are alleged to aspire to? Once
in awhile old Mayor Tom Trueblood,
whom you used TO know and love out
in Missouri, eases up TO the diplomatic
circle. What sort of game is it that
Tom and Mrs. Tom and daughter Myr-
tills have to play there in Washington?
Well, it seems to be game Of call
ing. Everybody calls on everybody else,
hundreds a week. dozens a day. While
the wife of the British Ambassador is
calling upon the wife of the Secretary
of the Interior, that lady is calling
upon upon her, so that though they
miss each other, each has the others
card, and they don't have to feel badly
about the futility of the thing.

Cabinet women in Washington, Mrs.

some Of the wiles and ways Of a Wash

Lady Alfonsino returned to town yes
terday after long absence. She car
ried a small bag and large bouquet
as she descended from the train, and
she wore-but it belongs to the
women's department to report that.
She beamed graciously upon the rep
resentatives Of the press who met her,
but at first that was as far as 1t went.
She seemed disinclined to do any talk
ing. Later, however, she warmed up
bit and became quite confding as she
waited for some one to come and ac-
company her nome. For some strange
reason he carriage delayed.

travels, Lady Alfonsino?" reporter
asked.

with rather stubby forefinger be-
tween her lips.

where did you come from LAST" he
continued, thinking that her ladyship
was trying to evade him.
"Frum the country" was he reply,
and there was an emphasis on the last
word that seemed to say, Don't you

as he got, when Lady Alfonsino inter
rupted Indignantly:

As she seemed on the verge of tears
over what she interpreted as doubt OF
the reliability of her statements, the
reporter stopped his questioning and
as he said soothingly, There, there,
patted her cheek-a proceeding winch
many a Lady Alfonsino would have re-
scented heartily.
1t seemed to have just the opposite
effect on this one, however, and estao-
lished the reporter in her good graces
at once-so much so, in fact, that ques-
tions were no longer necessary. There
after the lady waxed eloquent and en-
thusiastic over her trip.
1--WE had awful nice time in the
country" she volunteered, land we
swinged in the soups all day and god

"O-o-oh, and one time we went up a

way-"so l only swimmed with my

Red "lizzies" were a poser for the
city bred reporter. He knew Lizzies

"You see there's a certain precedent
about calling that must be followed and
that starts off the whole thing"
II seems that Cabinet women must
call first upon the Presidents and Vice
Presidents wives, ambassadors wives
and the wife of the Chief Justice Of the
Supreme Court, while the other official
wives must take the initiative.
