PARIS, France, October 13.-In an
Army order just issued, Gen. Petain
gives the marching regiment of the
foreign legion the following citation
for its heroic work at verdun.
"On August 20, under the energetic
leadership Of its chief, Lieut.. Col. Roll

assault village and wood. both of
which were powerfully organized. De-
spite the difficulties and the lay of
the land they captured the position
with such dash that notwithstandin

The Perfect Taboo.

The ten commandments. as appre-
hended by the white mar in their eth
ical splendor, are not so apprehended
by the black man when God tiles him
with ten tying in the 'early morn
ing" of his Christian day. They are
not then TO him the expression of
ideals; they are facts, definite laws of
abstainingS, of omission and commits
sion. They are the Eldorado of ia
boo. They replace with a great calm
the agitationS of the experimental eff
forts of the past, when everything was
at stake and nothing was sure; when
man was exhausted in his effort to fill
his side of the contract, but might
never count upon the party of the Sec
Ond part.
In this thny are emancipating; they
are the way of escape from a man
made yoke. Given a Father-God, there
is no greater benefit that he could have
conferred upon our pragmatic Bulu
than ten explicit tyings. The prac-
tice of the law promises at first to be
an exact science-the perfect taboo
for which our Bulu has blindly
searched and which is here given him

COPIED FROM OTHER DAYS
Best of the Known Fashions of
the Past.

The lOng-agO days and the styles
worn then have been the inspiration
of many of the fashions of today.
Modern dress recalls the Moyen age
long waistline, the Victorian shoulders
and the picturesque hat of Louis XVI.
The pokebOnnet, once more the
style, recalls days gone by, while the
apron, now put into the practical use
in many of the modern dresses, re-
minds one that back in the days of
Mary Stuart the apron formed a part
of the dress. Then, however, it was
Ornamented and of fine fabric rather
than useful, as at present.
The quaint fur shoulder wraps now
so prevalent look much like the Shout
der capes of 1910 and fall off the
shoulders in much the same way.
Likewise Japanese and Chinese infu-
ences are very noticeable in many of
the modern styles.
Our styles taken as q whole are q
most pleasing combination of the best
of the styles of the past and the most
interesting of the modern tendencies.

Satin Is Not for the Very Stout.

A man who has devoted the last few
years to making clothes for the typical
American matron, that is the plump
woman, has come to the decision that
satin is not her fabric. All Of the
creeps, the rough texture cloths, vel
vet, but not the stiff "stand alone
variety, and of course brocades, are
adapted to her in all the various com-
binations, but satin with its g%listening
and metallic surface but accentuates
her generous proportions.

Ribbon Instead of Embroidery.

There is a rumor that France and
America in combination will present
ribbons as q substitute for embrOid-
cry. 1t is possible that America is the
father to this thought. The manufac-
turers in this country have ardently
wished for definite fashions from Paris
that would feature miles of ribbon
used in any way possible to cover the
surface of clothes. The demand for
ribbon has been worked up in Paris to
some extent through American export
erS who represented factories that
could turn out ribbon in this country,
but so far all attempts have failed to
produce a real call for this kind of or
"namentatiOn.
A minor fashion which has come into
being and which calls for embroidery
is the Ornamented glove. A few wom-
en- have been foolish enough to wear
hand-painted ones recently at after
Don affairs, but there will always be
women foolish enough to do anything.
The glove which is embroidered in a
simple way will be at the height of
style, because America has learned
how to do it with the machine, instead
of by hand.

PETTIC0AT A DEAD LETTER
Unless of the Thinnest Material, II
Will Not Be Worn-outside Blouse
Grows in Experimentation
to Be Used as a Substitute
for Embroidery.

New York.-Every cable brings from
Paris the news that the skirts of 1917
will be narrow. All those in the watch
towers have proclaimed the coming of
this enemy to full skirts since last Sep
TENDER, but only in limited segments of
society was the news acted upon. The
manufacturers had the material for
full skirts, the wholesale houses turned
them out by the thousands, and it was
only left to the exclusive women and
their dressmakers to cut down the
width and lengthen the hem.
Even now there are skirts that are
slightly gathered to the waistline, and
these are coming from some of the
best houses in Paris, but they are
dropped over q lower skirt that is
quite narrow. No matter what the
fullness, every skirt clings to the fig
ure, as it did in the end of the eight
zenith century.
Petticoats are dead, unless they are
of chiffon, crepe de chine or jersey
silk.
The question which will soon con-
front every Oma is whether she
wishes to change the silhouette of her
skirt or go on wearing it until it is
ready to be discarded. One cheerful
feature of the return to the slim sill
houette is that a full skirt can be cut
into a narrow one with ease.
IT. N,4:J. nI..
That garment known as the outside
blouse, which is merely a short,
twelfth century chemise, has grown
quite important and popular since the
large shops copied ~ the exclusive
French models and placed them with
in the reach of the average purse.
The new ones started at $50 you can
now buy them for So or $40 in those
shops where vast quantities of gar
ments are sold. They still remain at
$50 in the shops that are neither de-
partmental nor exclusive.
Women like them. They are more
becoming than the white shirtwaist
and they do not make demands on
ones purse for laundry. They have a
thin lining of their own, which is a
boon to the woman who has neither
the time nor the money to arrange a
vast variety of expensive underwear
which shows through a thin white
blouse.
