GIVES BOYISH AIR
BLACK PUT FIRST BY PARIS
Placed Above All Other coIors In
France but New York Puts
Browns at Head of List.

Imported or domestic, the new
clothes are lovely. Exaggeration has
not yet begun to do its worst. and
modes are. on the whole, of consider
able distinction as well as of charm,
declares n fashion letter in the New
York Sun.
Paris has perhaps put less emphasis
on brown, more on the blues and grays
and green's, than has New York, yet
brown is an insistent note among the
importations, and the woman who
bought brown suit a month ago need
not regret her choice for sny reason
save that the shops are perhaps bit
flooded with brown.

long line of browns from beige and
castor to seal and, above all, black
these are the colors Paris loves and
New York, as we have said before, is
inclined TO put the browns at the head
of the list.
Never, surely, were so many models
sent across seas in black. There's a
Srimness back of that statement. back
of the fact itself. When one stops to
realize why Paris thinks so largely in
terms of black and gray, the fashion
element in these colors seems vastly
unimportant.
Partisan black is a fact beyond dis
pute. Often it is lightened by other
color, though this color is quite likely
TO be nothing more lively than gray or
beige or some soft blue; but black vel

Stenogranher on Limited

One OF the most difficult steno-
graphic jobs in the world is said TO be
that of StenOgrapher on the limited
trains between New York and Chi

work:
You have 10 take dictation in any
old way-on your sleeve. sitting down.

words distinctly; in any position and
on any kind of paper and at any and
all times. The stuff YOU take down
covers about every range of human en-
deavor and human thought. I've taken
dictation from men in pretty nearly
every profession I ever heard of-from
surgeons 10 shOemakers. I've written
wills for lawyers, taken down confess

Blouse Coatee Is Rage for Both

These blouse ccntees are the rage of

Memorial TO Tom Thomson.

A fitting memorial has just been
erected in the wilds or Algonquin park
TO the late Tom Thomson, the distiI.-
guished young Canadian artist, who
was drowned there last July, says the
Toronto Globe. On the hill overlook

his life, and whose beauties he had

cairn built from native stone, and on
Its face brass plate with the follow

ITO the memory of Tom Thomson,
artist, woodsman and guide, who was
drowned in Canoe lake, July 8, 1917.
HE lived humbly but passionately
with the wild. 1t made him brother

wonderfully TO him. Ii sent him out

SMOCK Is NOT A MERE FAD
1t Is the Most Comfortable WORKING
Garment for the Gardener, Stu
dent, or Artist.

The smock Is not, as most people
who do not wear 1t suppose, a mere
feminine fad; it is something more /:
it is the comfortable working garment
Of the gardener, the student and the
artist. That it is comfortable needs
no proving, and that it is having n
tremendous vogue also goes without
proving. But like everything else that
has vogue, it's bound to be abused.
Silk, satin or any other of the fiossy
stuffs is decidedly not the thing for
the workshop. But here's one smoek
that is.
1t is three-quarter length, raglan
sleeved, unbelted, shocked true to
type. and-of heavy art canvas. The
shocking front and back and on the
sleeve ends is rather elaborate; then
there is q bit of oriental embroidery
on the rather deep sailor collar just
TO preserve the feminine air.

BUSTLE is MODEST AFFAIR
As Used in the New Clothes, 1t Is Not
Nearly So Startling as the Name
Implies

hustle effects made their appearance
some time ago, and there is a prospect
they will be considerably featured this
winter.
Two seasons ago bustles were talked
about, and a great many garments
were shown with the back flare. Some
how they failed to take" and in a
short time they went the way of the
barrel silhouette. which pushed its way
into brief sartorial fame during the
spring Of 1916.
The barrel silhouette dropped out of
sight for a season and then doomed up
again. 1t was more favorably regard
ed on Its second appearance. 4 SINH
lar state OF affairs seems to have been
created in regard TO the hustle type Of
garment. Ii is very modest and
moderate hustle, not nearly so star
Ting as its name implies. and it is gen.
orally the result of n drapery drawn
from the front Of the costume and
made full at the back, pulled up some

tanned from those who have had ex-
perience with bombs and grenades on

camps indicate that the free overland

this style of garment, and then it can
easily be copied, which is no small
thing In these days of obligatory econ
omy.
Many of the blouses made in this
style are caught In below the waist
by a loose silk sash which is lightly
attached to the blouse here and there
The ends of the sash are tied at the
back; other models are drawn in by q
ribbon run through an inch-wide hem |;
others are caught in by band of fur
as indicated I'm my drawing. But, of
course, the model illustrated is an out
door blouse.
You will notice that 1t is buttoned
right up to the throat at one side.
This practical and comfortable notion
is I'm great favor this autumn. The
blouse or dress bodices underneath
may be quite decollete, but the cor
rect thing is the coat or wrap which
buttons up to the throat and which can
be worn with or without q warm fur
tie.
The combination of color shown in
the Paquin model is very effective !;

Worries of a Housewife.

Women are given to worry more than

abandon. They are not built that way.

Over 1000 Languages Now;

Hence, Authorities Think

If you are asked how many lam
guages there are in the world, can
you give anything like an accurate
answer? The average persons knowl-
edge or ability to speak languages
rarely exceeds two besides his native
tongue. The late Emperor Francis
Joseph, when visiting Red Cross hos
pital. spoke with the patients in their
own languages. which showed that the
aged emperor was a master of six.
II may appear strange. but it is
nevertheless true, says an exchange.
that there are over 1000 languages
spoken by mankind. while the number
of dialects exceeds this. There are
more than 60 vocabularies in Brazil.
and in Mexico the Nahua is broken I'D
into some 700 dialects. There are hun
dredS in Borneo. while in Australia
there is no classifying the complex
ties. Assuming that 20 dialects. on
an average, belong To each language

Rasputin's RELIGIOUS System.

The Christian Advocate reports the
Countess Won Schaumber As giving
this succinct sketch of Rasputin's
theology,
He made fundamental the doctrine
that there was no salvation without
repentance and as the righteous need
for salvation was a heavy course in
sin, Blessed are the sinful, for they
shall be saved through repentance
was his diabolic beatitude. No Won
