ed her ingenuity in trying to make
something out of nothing.
A review of the new clothes that are
coming over from Paris and those that
have been made in America, suggests
that this condition may have been in
the minds of the dressmakers.
Whether or not the manufacturing
world hasn't enough material to give
us the opportunity of making thou
sands of gowns and suits of the same
material or whether the designers
want to make a thing fashionable
which will soon become a necessity. is
beyond the province of a reporter to
say
Skirts Do Not Match Waists.
Those who pay serious attention to
the building of juvenile clothes have
followed in the footsteps of the de-
signers of adult costumery. They are
producing small costumes made up
from different pieces of cloth. A waist
and a skirt will be Joined by a sash,
and each of the three pieces will ap-
pear to have been taken from differ
ent loom.
A child is by far better able to stand
this mixture of materials than
grown-up, but if fashion holds on in
the way it has now set its rudder
each of US will have to be extraordi-
narily careful of our clothes.
A woman plus a patchwork quilt
is not an object of artistic loneliness.
If she wants to mix up colors and
materials in the way fashion calls
for, then it is best for her to try it
out on the child.
There is a fashion for these young
sters that calls for pleated skirt at
tached to a slightly long wasted
bodice. and odds and ends of material
that are left over from adult gowns
can be attractively utilized in this
manner.
There will never be serious revolt

If we believe those people in very
high military circles who say that this

LENDER PITIED POOR
chinese Shylock In Manchuria Gave
Annual Sum for Relief Work to
Relieve His Conscience.

A wealthy Chinese money lender in
Manchuria was recently convicted of
making false declaration regarding
robberies Of his caravans by Mongolian
bandits. His conscience troubled him
to such an extent that he offered to
contribute an annual sum of $3.50 for
the relief of the poor, East and West
says. This money was made the basis
OF fund for feeding the helpless at
Kungchuling.
Manchuria Is terribly poor, despite
the mineral and agricultural riches ex-
tracted from it's soil and rocks, all of
which products are shipped abroad.
There are probably thousands Of indus
trious natives unable. by unremittIng
toll, to earn more than q meager liy-
Ing. When to their natural difficulties
are added the ravagcs Of bandits and
the evils of misgovcrnment, such as
now prevail In many parts Of China.
