For winter mornings in the boudolr
is the peignoir of corduroy with
border trimming of fur. Corduroy
lounging robes are coming more ana
more into favor. They are warm, YET
not too heavy in weight for grace ana
they have a more elegant and lux
urious suggestion than even the most
extensive wool blanket cloth. This
corduroy negligee pictured is in SOIL
shade of electric blue and the fur Is
dyed fox. 4 very pretty line is given
ii the back by running the knotted
eirdle through slashcs at the SIDE
seams, confirming the folds of the gar
ment at the front while the back
hangs in straight folds from the shoul-
ders. The negligee is cut from TWO

scanned at the sides and the kimono
sleeves are heightened by sections or

Tcagowns In New Styles.
There is a subtle distinction between
a boudoir negligee and teagown-
which may appear with propriety in
the drawing room downstairs. And
there is often a very subtle distinction
between the teagown and a regulation
evening gown. Where the nature or
one ends and the other begins is often
difficult to discern, unless one Is very
we'll versed in things sartorial. A
sumptuous teagown indeed Is the trail

silver lace, with tunic OF jade

folds of silver lace the brocade tunlc

not intended by the creator of this
lovely gown who gave 1t the benent OF
the long, sinuous lines that are 80
much more beautiful than coquettlsh

THE NATIONS REAL FOES ARE
WITHIN IT'S OWN BORDERS

Not Germany, not England, not
Japan are the real enemies of the
United States, but certain evils with

Richard p. Hobson, who has been
one of the most ardent advocates of
increased armament, in his recent
speech in New York city, should
have said nothing about armies and
navies as instruments of prepared
ness. but should have made the key
note of his address the fact that a
sober nation was the best prepared
nation. His exact words. as report
ed in the New York Times, are
worth quoting; The first real ele-
ment of preparedness is to be sober.
This is the chief basis of German eff
ficiency. 1t is no longer a mere ques-
ton of sentiment or of religion alone
concerning the use of alcohol as a
beverage. Emperor Wilhelm, long
before the war, discovered through
science the danger of alcohol in the
national life. while other nations
have given it special attention main
ly since the war began.
In his speeches at the naval and
military academies the German EN-
peror placed the ban upon alcohol as
beverage, even including the ma
.tional drink. beer, the consumption
of which has been greatly reduced
and is gradually being lessened
throughout the empire. 1t is we'll
known that the kaiser had long ago
banished liquors from his own table.
But now, more than ever, the war
has taught the people of Europe the
danger of alcohol. For years Ger
many has dealt with the subject sci
entifically. At the birth of every
child there the attending physician
