cuffs, and down the outer edge of the

Although the waists with the small
armhole seem to be very popular there
are to be seen waists with the raglan
armhole, and very handsome waists they
are. One made with these raglan
sleeves and surplice front was de-
veloped in finely tucked net.
Accompanying the separate waist is
the separate skirt, usually suit skirt.
1t is made in various ways, usually to
correspond with the jacket it is to go
with. With the advent of wider skirts,
they are made, as rule, circular or
gored. The yoked skirts have also been
having quite voue-the yokes cut
straight around and in points on the
hips or in the front, giving wide
variety in the development of skirts and
helpful suggestions for the making over
of skirts.
Although made up in the same mate
rial, the model used for the second IL
! ustration shows smart model for the
separate waist and skirt. The waist is
called the Elsie Poiret waist, because
introduced by Poiret's sister. 1t is
often made in silk and worn with skirts
of different material and color. The
skirt shows the close fitting line with
the attached circular flounee, which
gives width and flare to the lower edge
of the skirt.
The model in one material is de-
veloped in covert cloth, which is by far
the most popular material now on the
market. 1t is shown developed into
one-piece dresses, suits and coats.
Aside from fur, braid is the most
popular of the winters trimmings. Mar
row Hercules is used to bind edges, and
the wide Hercules for banding on the
bottom of tunies, skirts and jackets.
The most practical and popular of the
braids, however, are the narrow SOU
tache braids. These are used for braid
ing designs on coats, jackets, skirts and
dresses. Several rows of it are used
for banding in place of the wide Her
cules braid.
Buttons are also used to a great ex-
tent as trimming. The round bone but
tons are very good, as well as the cloth
covered buttons, to match the dress or
suit they are worn upon. Many of the
covert cloth suits and dresses are
trimmed with ball buttons covered with
the covert. The buttonholes are bound

BERLIN HEARS THE RUSSIAN
CASUALTIES ARE 1000, 600

Berlin. Jan. S.-The following state
ment was issued by the official press
bureau yesterday:
THE Paris 'Matin estimates that
the Russian losses in killed and wound
ell up to December %, number 1,75o,-
600; but as the Germans have captured
more than 100000 Russians and the
Austrians have taken 100000, the
Russian casualties must exceed 2,000,-
!. 900.
Destitute Russians living in Ger
many received up to the beginning of
sSthe new year s5 every two weeks from
Russia. From January the pension is
reduced to s1.25 fortnightly. The
diminution is considered here to be
, proof that the Russians lack money.
THE correspondent at Brussels of
the Kreuz Zeitung' asserts that it is
. admitted in French official circles that
the losses in the French army up to De-
cember 20, were about 100000 men,
. of whom 10000 were officers"

In the first illustration is an evening
frock of delightfully."- simple lines. The
bodice is partly of chiffon and partly of
taffeta. The upper or yoke portion of
the skirt is of taffeta, while the skirt
is of bordered chiffon. Developed in
shell-pink or apricot color the dress is
charming, as well as in white, light

be developed attractively in charmeuse,

Children's clothes are following some

mother as well.
Simplicity in fabric is the order of
the day for the younger generation.
Fancy little party dresses are sometimes
made of silk or chiffon, but usually of
fine batiste. linen or net. The trim
ming on the finest of dresses is usually
hand embroidery and very little fine

both used great deal for children s
dresses, especially when combined with
hand embroidery.
In ehildren's outdoor apparel there is
no smarter way of clothing a child than
with coat made in some simple but
stylish manner, and hat made from the
same material. Old rose broadcloth was
used for stunning child's coat. 1t was
made Empire, with cuffs and high collar
of fox. The hat was made of the old
rose broadcloth, with band of the fur
around the crown and a bunch of silk
balls in harmonizing shades of old rose
on one side. The elastic which held the
hat on was run through narrow ribbon

CIVIL ADMINISTRATION OF
French ARMY IS CLASSED
AS GIGANTIC enterprise

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
Paris, Dec. 22.-What might be
called the civilian administration of
the French army is probably the most
gigantic business proposition the world
has ever seen. 1t is as though all the
railways of the United States with
their l,66S,s09 employees, all the steel
and iron industries with their $780,
762 employees and all the quarries,
coal mines and metal mines of the
United States with their 1,005,2S1
workers were all under the direction of
one office and besides these, over a mil
lion more employed in half hundred
other of the great corporation in
America.
The French War Office, through its
civilian administr alton, must assemble,
transport and distribute food for nearly
100000 men. 1t must supply the
men with transportation from one part
of the fighting line to another, from
the front to the interior and from the
interior to the front in their periods of
recuperation. 1t must provide cloth
ing, medical attendance, dentists and
every variety of service necessary to
keep a man in health.
Besides all this, it must look out for
the families of the men at the front,
supplying their wives with the equiva.
lent of 25 cents day, and in case of
children with the equivalent of ten
cents a day.
The smooth working of these i'm.
mense business transactions is only
possible because the work is distrib
uted among the trained railway man
ayers, steamship directors, great cor
poration officials and business men OF
capacity, who although they are wear
ing uniforms have been trained and
prepared by civil ife for this sort OF
work in war time. Some thousands OF
the most competent business men OF
France have been organized into thi:
supply side of the war.
Many political leaders, Senators
I Deputies, eXPresidents of the Chamber
/ and men prominent in scientific and
intellectual life have been called upon
to help in this gigantic work.
