IN fdVOF OF Preparedness.
Buffalo. n. Y.-The State Conven-
ton of the German-American Alliance
closed with the reelection of the
present officers and the adoption of
resolutions which set forth that the
alliance was not to be allowed to be-
come the instrument of politicians,
Another resolution adopted by the
alliance stated that in the Mexican
crisis the members of the alliance
pledged their property and lives to
the support of our government ito
whose continued glorious develop
ment as a free and independent na-
tion we shall ever devote ourselves
The resolution was telegraphed to
President Wilson and Governor Whit
man.
In other resolutions the alliance re-
affirmed its faith and hope in our
country and its free institutions" and
expressed the wish that "all efforts
to question the loyalty of any part or
section of our citizenship by men or
parties who seek to profit by the
seeds of internal discord will meet
with failure"
The alliance declared for prepared
ness but asserted that 1t hoped for
the continuance of peace both as
against war-torn Europe and sorely-
stricken Mexico"

Stalidardizing the
Street Suit

A movement has recently been
launched by women of affairs, whose
opinions are worth while, to standard
lie the street suit. For smart women,
gifted with correct sense of clothes,
such n movement was not needed.
They may be relied upon to be quite
uniformly garbed in rather plain. beau
tifully shaped and faultlessly made
tailored suits when their affairs make
it necessary for them to walk In the
streets. For them the street suit has
been standardized for years.
But in order that our streets may
make better showing of tastefully
dressed women it will he necessary to
establish standard for the woman
who may be in doubt as to what she
should wear. and to call her attention
to 1t.
The first consideration is that wom-
IN are getting together more than ever
before in clubs and other organizations,
IN the interest of progress. If they
establish the custom of wearing the
tailored suit for almost any occasion
no woman will stay at home because
she lacks the proper dress. Such an
obstacle will cease to exist. A second

in the Gay

The most enticing funcies of fash
ion are surely to be found in the pret-
ty things made of ribbon that spring
up like perennial flowers mt the ribbon
counter. This particular locality is
like flower garden In the depart

bons lure women as the honeysuckle

they inspire the designers to make for
them n career of endless little gayeties
in apparel.
They make the most appreciated
gifts that cost less than anything else

in the fact that the street is not the

StandardiZing the street suit will not
reduce us to tiresome monotony in
suits, because there is endless room
for variety in making. The smart suit
shown in the picture is an illustration.
1t is a smOOth-faced cloth in dark
mixture, with brown predominating.
When the plain and beautifully tai
lored coat is off. one discovers n trim
skirt with an entirely new munage-
ment of the belt and actual pockets,
patterned after the saddlebag pockets
which have been one of the pretty
fancies of fashion. But these are
stitched fiat to the skirt instead of
hanging free. The handsome costume
blouse is of brown chiffon over lace
with u vest of delicate brocade. For
another occasion plain tailored
blouse might be worn. This is the sort
of suit that it is proper to wear for
church and for the street, the two
places in which one woman should
never seem to try to outshine any
other.
