This little frock is equally serviceable

the picturesque long trousers and round
collar that were worn during the civil
war period, and has learned to despise

In making a dress for child of four
years you will require two and a quar-
ter yards of material 81 inches wide,
and two and a half yards of material

Wolnan's S Viewpoint
BELTS OF. FUR ON SUITS AND GOWNS

, taken from the eighteenth century, and
| the second one was also Of cloth and
black velvet. taken from his beloved
| Brittany.
In the third and fourth costumes.
| however. he struck the real Poiret note,
! Introducing q new kind of costume
which has loose, colored bodice that
wraps around the figure at the hips
the shoulders. back and front, to show
| the skin. The full. short skirt Is OF
white cloth. With each costume is
| worn the high. square white leather
| Russian boots.
At this same fashion fete there were
many new ways of managing fur. The
young actress who took a leading part
| in the play wore her enormous brown
fox in new way over her blue velvet
gown. 1t was f1attened out to it's full
size. forming huge square. and was
swung across the back, very much the
way that the early Britons wore the
skins Of beasts. 1t was fastened across
the chest in front by two Of its paws,
while the tail and the other paws
hung carelessly down the back of the
figure.
It was quite prehistoric in effect, and
SO adaptive and eccentric are the peo-
pie who parade 5th avenue that a
young girl walking there wore a huge
leopard skin in the same fashion. Pos
sibly she wanted to be stared at: her
wish was fulfilled. If you had ques-
such a freakish fashion she would
have said. probably, that it was the
new way that Paris had exploited.
Still the Full Skirt.
There is no evidence on the part of
Paris that she intends to forego the
full skirt. Each of her new models
was from four to six yards at the
hem. although the Poiret skirt clung
to the figure in folds. The coats were
long and short. but nothing in middle
length was shown. Always there was
a tendency to distend the hip line.
There is a tendency also to wear belts
of fur. some of which extend around
the waist line. others ending at the
sides.
The suit sketched today was not
among those shown by the French
dressmakers, but is a French suit made
Sor an individual. and it carries out
this new fashion. The material is blue
serge. the skirt falls in unstitched
pleats and there is no trimming what
ever on it.
The coat has plain panel down
front and back and two ruff1es at
the sides. This is to give the dis
tended hip effect that all the big dress
makers are lending themselves to. The
wide belt and faring turnover collar
are of black astrakhan and the buttons
are Of dull silver.
Six-1nch Belts Of Skunk.
There are one-piece frocks in dull
green and bronze cloth that have six
inch belts of skunk placed we'll below
the waist line. These are fastened at
the side in a primitive manner, with
out the aid of buttons or buckles.
One end is merely slipped through a
slash in the other end.
The observer of dress from a historic
point of view sees in this tendency,
along with several others, a desire to
bark back to the primitive. True,
alongside Of this simple way Of dress
ing is the sophisticated Fragonard
style, and it will be interesting to see
which Americans will adont

any kind, from nainsook and pique to

There Is one objection to white for
play purposes. and that is the fact
that every spot on It shows 10 con-
spicuously. Therefore. for play around
home and for school, dark woods Of a

are desirable. Ginghams, blue or pink
cotton dress goods. or even percales
answer the same purpose.

Driving Out the Sharks.

Definitely practical results have
been scored by the District in the
prosecution OF the loan shark evil in
the closing OF two companies by or
ders from the local government on
the ground that their methods have
been contrary to the spirit, if not the
letter, OF the law. These two com
panies, which are virtually one, being
under the same management, though
with distinct titles, are charged with
making loans at usurious rates be-
yond those permitted by the statutes.
They are percmptorily estopped from
doing business, and it is publicly an
nounced that all outstanding loans
made by them are cancelled, with
warning that il any attempt is made
by the companies to collect on these
loans the borrowers should notify the
District government, which will take
steps to prevent such action.
1t is evident that the loan shark
law is working. It has driven out
of this jurisdiction a number of COM
panies and has in the latest action
overtaken, in its enforcement, viola
tors Of its spirit. 1t now remains to be
ascertaincd whether under this law il
is possible for lending companies
honestly 10 do business in a manner

Berlin and American Sentiment.

The German ambassador to the
United States, it is understood. has
told this government that the au-
thorities in Berlin are unaware Of
the state of public feeling here re-
garding the Iusitania affair and Of
the virtually unanimous approval
given by the American people to the
Presidents note That is d remark
BE even in the light OF the difficult
ties in the way OF communication be-
tween the German representative at
this capital and his own government
It is true that the only direct means
OF communication now open to the
ambassador is the wireless at Say
vision is available only for plain
text or uncoded mes sdges. But the
United States would not think OF pre-
venting the use OF this system for the
transmission OF information regard
ing the state of public feeling here.
Moreover, messages i'll open text re-
garding the state OF American senti-
ment could safely be dispatched by
wireless.
II the ambassador has not sent
word to Berlin OF this country's en-
phatic Endorsement OF the Presidents
note it is assuredly not because OF
any obstacle put in his way by the
United States. Ii he has sent such
word and Berlin has ignored it in
the drafting OF the reply now under
consideration the situation is not
likely to be reinedied by delay for the
purpose OF posting Berlin regarding
the state of American feeling. The
response to Germanys note 'should
not and probably will not b. long
withheld pending the possibly be-
lated efforts OF the ambassador 10
persuade his government that it has
failed to measure the depth of the
American indignation and to appre-
ciate that in his note OF May IL the
President was speaking for the whole
people OF the United States.

times indulge themselves for contro-
versy's sake. There will be the usual
number of lawyers in the debates,
and they will lay about them after
their fashion. And. whether they be
democrats or republicans. they will
not forget the fact that they are talk
ing on the eve of presidential cleo
ton.
But let nobody deride congressional
ak after the record made on Capi-
tGi Hill OF very recent date. Think OF
what senatorial talk accomplished in
the case OF the Underwood tariff bill;
in that Of the currency bill: IN that
OF two river and harbor bills; in that
OF the ship purchase bill. Half-bakcd
or reckless House measures were
changed or killed by Senate debate,
10 the great advantage OF the coun-
try.
There are men-without experience
in Office. and, therefore, unfamiliar
with Legislative procedure = who
think all talk in Congress should be
shut off. or reduced TO the minimum.
In their opinion. open debate on the
floor OF either house is a waste OF
time MI they can see i'll the cut
and-thrust. or in the set speeches OF
members. is disposition on the part
OF participants to advertise them
selves in Washington and then at
home.
A very foolish Judgment >pringing
from ignorance. Talk in Congress
sometimes unduly protracted-has
of money and defeated no end OF dan
gerous propositions.

DR.. Dernburg's Return.

Guaranteeing DR.. Dernburg safe
conduct from the United States to
Germany was perhaps not altogether
an unselfsh act OF courtesy on the
part Of Great Britain, for doubtless
It is realized III London that the
chief OF the German propa ganda in
the United States will be innocuous
in his own country. Nevertheless, it
is well to remember that London
doubtless appreciates fully that DR..
Dernburg's recent utteranccs have ef-
fcctually destroyed his usefulness to
Germany i'll America, and that as far
as the making of sentiment is con
ccrncd he might as well, from the
British point Of view, be kept here
as returned 10 Berlin.

Congress and Talk.

Ono objection offered to the calling
Of Congress in extra session is that
the temptation to talk would be TOO
great for resistance, and in yielding
TO It members in both houses, under
the excitement OF unusual foreign
and domestic conditions, would talk
too nuch-talk, 50 70 say, through
their hats.
However this may be, il is certain
that when Congress docs meet, in
extra or regular session, there is go
ing to be good deal OF talk.
Whether this will go to the point or
not IN every case or in many cases re-
mains to be seen. In all probability
there will be the usual amount Of
"sloshing around" Trained takers
sometimes indulge in that sort OF
thing for a purpose. and with results
satisfactory to themselves.
Conditions are not only unusual,
but extraordinary, and must remain
so for some time to come. There are
many new questions for Congress to
consider. and even the old questions
have taken on new aspects. Ques-
tions thought to be settled have been
unsettled, and must be settled ac-
cording to later lights and conten-
tons.
All of this will appeal TO men
skilled in controversy, and who some

ing, the issue raised by the af1idavits
filed at the State Department is not
chiefly between the United States and
Germany, but between Secretary Nc
Adoo and Collector Malone, who has
reported officially that the liner had
no guns on board when she left New
York on her last voyage. 1t is pass
ing strange that four 6-inch cannon
that could be SO readily observed as
the affidavit makers declare they
were on the Lusitania could have es-
capped the notice OF the collectors

claimed that systems that operate in
other cities under terms similar to

sioners should prepare the case for
presentation to that body with 4
view to such amendment OF the law

The United States and Mexico.

President Wilson, departure from
the policy OF "watchiul waiting re-
earding affairs in Mexico Is an
nounced in formal statement. viz
tually proclamation TO the people
OF that unhappy country. which sets
forth the intolerable conditions pre-
vailing there in terms that cannot be
gainsaid and which leave no doubt
OF the strictly humanitarian purposes
OF this government i'll any action that
ii may later be compelled TO take .
the end OF curing the evils trou
which the Mexican people arc today
suffering. The President has during
the more than two years OF his dd-
ministration held aloof from any form
of Intervention save the exercise OF
moral suasion to cndcavor to secure
the establis ishuent OF a stable govern
ment in Mexico CONDITIONS have
gone from bad TO worse. however,
and the time IS unquestionahly at
hand. regardless OF any considera-
ton OF the state OF American affairs,
to interpose to end d reign OF an
archy in the neighboring republic.
Justification OF activity by the
United States to this end is COM
prised in the statement in the Presi-
dents announcement that Mexico is
starving and without a government"
1t would be inhumane, it would be
uncivilized, for the United States to
remain longer inactive in the face OF
this condition. In a most selfish
sense it is perhaps none of our af
fair that Mexico has, through the
selfish enterprise OF rival revolution
lists, been thrown into chaos, its peo-
pie deprived of their lives and prop
critics, denied the necessaries OF ex-
istence and held in the grip OF bar
baric terrorism that has few equals
in history. But we have definite re-
sponsibility that rises beyond our
strictly selfish interests, and we cam
not longer deny to Mexico the as
sistance that is required to restore
order, and, if possible, to establish
a stable government to the end that
the people may prosper in peace and
advance in their social and economic
development.
The President is explicit in his
declaration that if the warning fac
tions do not promptly compromise
their differences and unite III a pro-
gram of constructive order, or if they
cannot be brought into subjection by
some man or group OF men not now
identified with any OF their destruc-
tive campaigns, this government will
be constrained to decide what means
should be employed by the United
States III order to help Mexico save
herself and serve her people" There
IS no question as TO the meaning OF
this warning. 1t signifies that il Mex
ico cannot furnish through her lead
ers a solution OF her present intol-
cradle situation the United States
must intervene to supply govern
mental agency. This does not mean
annexation. 1t does not mean an in
definite assumption Of supreme au-
thority in Mexico by the United
States. II means the restoration Of
order in Mexico and the laying OF
foundation in that country OF a gov
ernment OF, by and for its people
