HIGH BOOTS ENDORSED

The exceptionally high shoe, or
boot, will unquestionably remain in
fashion throughout the spring. The
short skirts of street suits and after
noon dresses will make it almost
necessity. Paris women, heretofore
devoted to the slipper for street wear,
are more and more accepting the
high boot
High boots of dark-colored satins
are late novelty and among the
new designs in spring footwear are
many boot effects.
In order to give these an appear
ance of great lightness and to have
them flexible and therefore comfort
able, the vamps are cut very low; in
fact, they are sometimes hardly more
than trimming on the gaiter top.
Light colored soft kid is the pop
ular leather.
AS a substitute for the erstwhile
popular sandallaced slipper a new
form is now being shown with
broad bracelet strap that passes
around the ankle. Sometimes this
bracelet form is shown in connection
with simple, low-cut toe slipper.
But in its newest form it is featured
on slipper with converging straps
which center on the instep, where
they are held together by an orna-
ment. The toe of the slipper is or
namented with a similar design in
metal, and sometimes the bracelet
strap is embroidered to correspond
AS much leather is required to cut
this slipper as if it were high shoe
In every instance. Fashionable hos
iery matches the shoe or the costume

By S. w. Straus,

President American Society for Thrift
1t is from humble things that great
fortunes often are made when peo-
pie with the thrift instinct-the in
stinct to find at least one use for every
thing and two or three uses for some
things-put their brains to work. For
instance Judge Martin E. Moran of
Alaska, plans to import Angora goats
to that territory to feed on the rein
deer moss which grows plentifully
there. Judge Moran sees a great flu
ture in the Angora industry. Three
million acres of logged-off lands in
Western Oregon and Washington are
being cleaned by these goats and at
the same time they furnish meat and
Angora wool, the Importation of
which has been cut down by the war.
Angora wool is staple and brings
from 81 to So pound raw, the first
grades being used in the manufacture
of the most expensive grades of mo-
hair and plush.
German thrift has found new
use for the Kansas sunhower. Ger
mans nave discovered that sunflower
oil is good substitute for the olive
extract and much less expensive.
Therefore, many people are now plan
ming on raising large quantities of
sunfowers and no doubt the children
will find this new field for thrift,
as they require no care and will grow
in any marshy land. Nature in the

SPRING FASHION HINTS

A disposition to get away from the
strictly tailored suit for spirng is IN
evidence. Even the plainest models
have little trimming touches on the
collars and cuffs, while many of the
dressier suits are very elaborately
trimmed. This departure from strict
ly tailored styles was expected by
many students of fashions. They
realized that women were beginning
to tire of the severely tailored suits
and would welcome change.
That there was reliable ground for
this view was proved during the pres
ent winter by the marked vogue of
fur trimmings on suits. The favor
for more decorative effects is still
more apparent, however, in the
spring garments. Moreover, the
styles themselves are expressive OF
spring, due to the air of sprightliness
provided by the short, jaunty jackets
and the wide skirts.
Fantastic Millinery
Millinery shows many bizarre and
novel effects, as regards both form
and trimming. This IS often achiev-
ed by means of fantastic arrange
ment of trimmings, which may con
sist of wide, pleated ruffles of lace.
of net or of silk. encircling or sur
mounting the crown. These form
wide, fly-away wings, soaring to tre-
mendous heights at back and sides.
The chief fashion influences in
millinery are those of the Directoire,
the Restoration and the Second En-
pire. The high crowned, brimless
Directoire hat is still in evidence, and
there are flower toques built along
these same lines, with trimmings of
outstanding ribbon bows.

CANADA RECRUITING MEN At
RATE or ONE THOUSAND A DAY
Preparing To Send Men To The Total
Number Of A Million And A
Quarter If Necessary

MONTREAL, Canada.-That Can
ada will send one million and three
quarters of men to European battle
fields, if this should be necessary to
defeat Germany, is the statement of
General Sir Sam Hughes, the Cana
dian minister of militia and defense
$50 far, | think, Canada has done
her share and will keep right on to
the finish," said General Hughes.
1--WE are recruiting at the rate of
thousand men a day. We have sent
125,000 men overseas already and
have 125,000 more ready to send as
fast as we can find ships to take
them. That is the chief difficulty of
our problem in Canada, getting the
transportation for the men who are
prepared and equipped to go. Of the
$4,000 who have gone to England
10000 are now in the trenches, and
they are doing splendid work. There
are no better troops than the Cana
dians in the war; Our losses so far
have been approximately 10000.
"What Canada is doing is raising
a trained democratic army. Both of
the adjectives l have just used, train
ed and democratic, are of the utmost

JACKET LENGTHS

The jacket lengths for the spring
vary considerably, some of the coats
being made in bolero effect, just
reaching the waistline, while others
merely cover the hips.
Flare effect continue to meet with
favor. Many have the fullness at the
sides only, with flat back and front,
while others have the fullness at the
back and sides, with straight front,
or vice versa. In some instances, this
fullness starts from the shoulder, but
many of the suits are cut in two
sections and joined together at the
normal waistline, the lower one be-
ing made in flare effect.
The collars are frequently low and
fiat, but few are made high in the
back and sides and open at the
throat. The large, round collar, as
well as the cape collar, are among the
spring styles.
Much attention has been given to
the sleeves. Some are shirred on at
the shoulder-line and are made in
bishop effect; others have the full
ness below the elbow, and quite a
number are nished off with fancy
cuffs.
A few sleeves set on at low
shoulder-line and also raglan sleeves
are found in some of the lines.

LINGERIE FOR 1916

Lingerie has forsal'en the straight
and narrow way and is becoming wild
er and wider, and more voluminous.
The chemise is once more recognized,
apart from the combination. Hand
embroidery on lingerie is now an i'm
portant feature, and the fabrics, while
growing more and more gossamer, de-
rive some firmness from their en-
broideries. Flemish lace is in de-
mand, likewise Malines and the ever
popular Valenciennes are all used for
trimming.

necessary, will be in volunteer army
of citizens, every man trained in mod
ern methods of warfare. And the
lesson of all history is that the dem
ocratic army, after it gets it's bear
ings, always defeats the standing
army of professionals. One-th;rd of
the army that won the battle of Wat
erloo was made up of farmers. We
have farmers, fishermen, lumbermen,
hunters. Indians, thousands of keen
athletic young fellows from the cities
and big student delegations from the
universities-all the elements needed
for the army that wins.
"That is the sort of an army that
Canada and every other country
should always have potentially, war

in any form of compulsory service,
but | do believe in universal, volun-

keep it up till they are eighteen. l

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT.

form of sunlight will be the fertilizer.
Another source of money that is
now going to waste in this country
is peanut shells. A Southern busi-
ness man, however, was thrifty
enough to find use for them so they
are now ground and used in Pittsburg
for polishing tinplate, and after that
the oily substance is sold in packages
as sweeping compound.
Luck does not figure in fortunes
made from such small beginnings any
more than it figured in Russell Sage's
fortune. Mr.. Russell Sage always
said there was no such thing as luck,
for he started out as a grocery clerk
at one dollar week. But he was
contented and ambitious and as his
wages slowly increased he saved al
ways little, till at the age of twenty
one he had store of his own. Later
he sold the store and went to New
York where he took a place as office
boy at very low wages. But he work
himself steadily up until he became a
financier himself. Mr.. Sage believed
that any one could succeed if he
would, but that most young men are
not anxious to rise. Of course, he
said if they found themselves rich
they were glad, but they were not
willing to work and make themselves
rich. 81 never knew any one," Mr..
Sage is quoted as saying, "to obtain
lasting wealth without lots of hard
work."

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

When making extra strings for
babys bonnet, make them in one
piece. Sew piece of tape across the
corner where one sews on the strings
Slip string through tape and tie un-
der chin. Windsor ties are nice, as
they launder fine. When soiled they
can be slipped out and there is no
sewing or pinning when replacing
them.
When comforts for beds are partly
well worn, the cloth often splits
lengthwise. To avoid that, lay a
width of cheesecloth, or other thin
goods, crosswise over the cotton, be-
fore putin on outside. 1t does not
make them hard or heavy.
Good and inexpensive bluing: Five
cents worth of Prussian blue, 2R
cents worth oxalic acid; dissolve in
one quart boiling water and put in
pan or bottle; it is then ready for
use.
When cooking cake icing with milk
or anything that is bad to scorch,
sprinkle small handful of salt on
stove lid.
Good way to cover comforters: En-.
close the batting in mosquito netting
tacking it here and there to prevent
punching up. Slip comforter thus
made into the outside cover and tack
in place. When soiled it is easy to
open one end and take out the inside
If this method is once used the old
way viii be abandoned.
