New York.-The merry-go-round Of
fashion continues. Each Of the great
centers where women's apparel is sold
reports an extremity Of business that
has caused the work people a loss Of
sleep and threatened the heads Of the
departments with Il nervous collapse.
Naturally. women object to having
their gowns copied, and there Is a

There is no remedy for this condl-
ton. The woman who insists upon
wearing models that are exhibited in
the early part of the seaso must face
the fact that she Is apt to be repeated
through the streets or at parties us
though she were gazing into a maze Of
mirrors.
There are experts who say that the
remedy for this condition lies In the
hands of the American designers. They
say that If the latter will create hun

CHEFS GIVEN LESSON
Best In the Business Are Able to Learn
Something From the Manual for
Army Cooks, Says Wallace
Irwin.
BY WALLACE IRWIN.


A few weeks ago the quartermaster
generals department, faithful to its
complicated task Of supplying every
thing from shoes to sugar to a rap
idly forming army Of yer a million
men, telegraphed an appeal to SO lead
ing hotel proprietOrs throughout the
country asking the loan of 3,S40 chefs
and expert cooks to teach the science
of gastronomlcs to the Kitchens Of our
16 new cantOnments.
Now, the Observation-Disclosures old
mess s%ergeants of our regular army
cooking schOols-Of which four have
flourished for many years-are willing
and anxious to sit at the feet Of the
capable wizards who have fed Fifth
avenue and fremont street; but SO
great Is the faith of the mess sergeant
in the manual for army cooks, issue
Of 1915. that they pause reflectively In
their scientifically arranged pantries
and allow-quite unoficially - that
maybe a few of those fancy chefs will
go back to their hotels with n or
two choice recipes well worth trying
on the favored fellow who always gets
by the plush rope and calls the head
waiter by his first name.
AS a matter of fact NJ. Panchard,
famous chef Of the Hotel McAlpin,
New York, was "loaned" a while back
in order to gain sufficient knowledge
Of army cookery to instruct National
Guard kitchens in various New York
armories. M. Panchard spent two days

FR0cKS ARE BARRED
Vogue for Simple, pignifed Dresses
Has Increased Noticeably Since
War Began.

Since women have properly inter
preted the war economy propaganda
and have realized that too rigid self
denial in the matter Of clothes is poor
patriotism ; but that extravaganza and
"showy" dressing is poor taste, the
vogue for simple. dignified frocks has
increased noticeably.
One-piece tailored frocks are being
brought out in a wide variety Of styles.
Silk, chenille and metal embroideries
appear on satin and on g%eorgette and
plain fat braids are being used In
large quantities on the wool fabric
dresses.
In the development of dressy after
noon frocks, long straight lines are
most favored. although some side
draperies are seen. When ~draperies
are employed they are usually arranged
rather low at the sides. so the barrel
silhouette is avoided and the natural
line of the hips Is adhered to.
Considerable interest has been shown
