The bodice is made with short pep
lum and could hardly be more simply
draped. The sleeves suggest a scarf
thrown over the arms, and are wide
at the wrists. They are altogether
as irresponsible as to shape as the
wide girdle Of beads is to it's duty,
which is to confine the waistline. The
waistline is ornamented but not re-
stricted, and the model may therefore
hold it's own in point of style with
the latest Of gowns "a la chemise."
Nothing in the way Of hat could
look better with this dress than the
ilmy model which supplements it. It
is a sailor of guileless simplicity and

resting on the very unsubstantial sup
port furnished by the crepe brim.
This is costume for the young maid

An Attack Of Grip

Doctors in all parts of the country have

Proclaiming the Slender Silhouette

Here is simple but quite original
evening or dinner dress worn by one
of the pretty young women who helped
to make ''The Boomerang so great
success. 1t almost goes without say
ing that a play presented by Belasco
will be correctly staged in every par
ticular, and that no detail of costum-
ing will be sighted. This gown is
among the earliest that proclaimed the
return of the slender silhouette. 1t
appears to have bowed to the inevi-
table, but with much reserve.
The dress is made of crepe geor-
gette with a plain underskirt trimmed
with bands of silver spangles, gradu-
ated in width. Although it consents
to be long enough to reach the instep,
it refuses to conceal the ankles and
merely wells them. This is an alluring
bit of coquetry, for you just glimpse
them one minute, and the next-you
don't A forerunner of the long tunic
appears in the drapery that falls over
the underskirt.

Moreover, this model is shown with Fl
light ribbon girdle, a thing which has
not been in evidence on daytime frOcks
for some time. But the girdle is girl
ish accessory and not an essential
part of the composition of the gown.
The owner Of handsome lace In
cape, collar or fichu, or in sets for
neck and sleeves, may rejoice at a
mode which makes these accessories
imperative. This gown becomes a
background for their display, and it's
importance is advanced according to
the character of the neckwear or
sleeve flounces used. They should
match, if possible. But where one
owns a fine lace collar, net flounces
for the sleeves may be edged with lace
to match it, and the collar made to
bask in the approval of gentlewomen,

Paris, Jan. 3.-The text of the re-
ply of the allied governments to the
German peace proposals, given on Dec.
30, follows:
"The allied governments of Belgium,
France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan,
Montenegro, Portugal, Rumania, Rus
sia and Serbia, united for the defense
of the liberty of their peoples, and
faithful to engagements taken not to
lay down their arms separately, have
resolved to reply collectively to the
pretended propositions of peace which
were addressed to them on behalf OF
the enemy governments, through the
intermediary of the United States,
Switzerland and Holland.
Before making any reply the allied
powers desire particularly to protest
against the two essential assertions of
the note of the enemy powers, that
pretend to throw upon the allies re-
sponsibility for the war and proclaim
the victory of the central powers.
''The allied governments cannot ad-
nit an affirmation doubly inexact and
which suffers to render sterile all ten
tative negotiations.
Still Attached to Peace.
"The allied nations have sustained
for thirty months a war they did ev-
erything to avoid They have shown
by their acts their attachment to
peace. That attachment is as strong
today as it was in 1914.
But it is not upon the word of
Germany, after the violation of en-
gagements, that the peace broken by
her may be based"
"a mere suggestion, without state
ment of terms, that negotiations should
be opened, is not an offer of peace.
The putting forward by the imperial
government of a sham proposal lack
ing all substance and precision would
appear to be less an offer of peace
than a war maneuver. 1t is founded on
calculated misinterpretatiOn of the
character of the struggle in the past,
the present and the future
Gas for the past, the German note
takes no account of the facts, dates
and figures which establish that the
war was desired, provoked and de-
clared, by Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary.
Refused All Proposals.
cat The Hague Conference it was
German delegate who refused all pro-
posals for disarmament. In July, 1914,
it was Austria-Hungary who, after
having addressed to Serbia an unpre-
cedented ultimatum, declared war
upon her in spite of the satisfaction
which had been accorded at once.
"The central empires then rejected
all attempts made by the entente to
bring about a pacific solution of a
purely local conflict: Great Britain
suggested a conferences; France pro-
posed an international commission:
the emperor of Russia asked the Ger
man Emperor to go to arbitration, and
Russia and AustriaHungary came to
an understanding on the eve of the
conflict But to all these efforts Ger
