EASY FOR HOME mlLLIRER
Wide Range in New Fashions Brings
Joy to Heart Of the Woman WBlAo
Makes Her Own Hats.

Even before the war inspired sens
ible economy in the matter Of dress
many women had acquired the habit
of making their OWN hats, and the hat
styles shown this winter should GER
tainly inspire home talent, says a
fashion authority.
Generous leeway in style rulings
makes "becomingness" practically the
one rule to be followed, and great in
dividuality may thus be expressed in
ones millinery without breaking one
of Dame Fashions rules.
A hat must be becoming and it must
be comfortable. With these rules
Dbeyed the home milliner may allow
her fancy full sway.
All black hats are very good style
because they really go well with any
thing; but colors are not at all taboo
in fact, quite the contrary. Few
stiff-looking hats are shown, and this
also is point in favor of the home
nllliner.

IRISH LACE TO BE POPULAR
Use as Trimming for Blouses and
Lingerie Is Welcomed by Ameri-
ean W:.nen.

The return Of Irish lace as trim
ming for blouses and lingerie is sure
to be popular. There never was a kind
of lace that had so many warm adj
mirers among discriminating American
women as did Irish and that variety
of lace based it's popularity on real
merit. In the first place it possesses
that attribute without which real popu-
larity In this land would be impos-
sible-that is smartness. Mere pretti-
ness or daintiness would not long suf-
flee to keep any kind of lace tn high
hvogue. Another merit of Irish lace is
that of durability. The fact that the
merest amateur can discriminate be-
tween Irish lace of good quality and
that of inferior workmanship also help
to make 1t popular.
Already many of the hlgh-priced
waists are showing Irish lace, which Is
bound to be more expensive now than
1t was several years ago when 1t en-
joyed popularity before, for the rea.
son that all Irish imports are scarce.
and will probably remain so for the
period of the war. To be sure certain
amount of Irish lace has always come
from France, but that land has little
more time for lace making or facility
for exporting it than her ally to the
west of England.
Irish lace will be seen used in COM
bination with georgette crepe to con.
siderable extent, not only on blouses,
but on high-grade undertoggery 1t
will also be used extensively with crepe
de chine whereas when it was last in
vogue it was used almost exclusively
with fine nuI, organdie or handker-
chief linen.

VELOUR IN FASHION AGAIN
New Variety Of This Fabric Said to

Iy Sold In America.

Paris has brought velour into fash

fabric well enough when it behaves
Itself-that is, when 1t does not prove
itself too impressionable. They are
not keen, as a nation, on any fabric
that does not show qualities of endur-
ance. They do not go in for beauty
alone.
They say that the new kind Of velour
wears we'll. If this rumor proves true,
then the public will accept it as sub
stitute for serge and velvet for.formal
and informal usage.
The richest colors are obtainable in
this cloth. In some cases 1t is en-
ployed as a substitute for peltry be-
cause of the nap and the way it cllngs

German arms which would otherwise
have been certain, thus saving us from
the terrors of German militarism. We
are fighting Germany because the sue
cess Of Germany would mean the end
of freedom here and everywhere.
America cannot remain free If kaiser
ism wins. If Germany should tri-
umph over our European allies, we
would have to battle single handed
with victorious Teuton autocracy,
determined to conquer and subjugate
the world.
For 40 years Germany has been
building up a military machine, the
central thought of which has been
world domination, and this terrible
world calamity of blood and misery is
the result of this aim of the German
autocracy.
Outlaw Among Nations.
Germany's method of warfare, In the
sinking of merchant ships without
warning, in the drowning of helpless
women and children, in bombardlng
unfortifed cities, in lurking like as
sassins beneath the waters and in the
air, ready to strike and murder the I'M
armed, the unsuspecting. and the help
less, has evidenced savagery and
brutality such as the world has never
known before. Humanity will find it
difficult to forgive and history impos-
sible to forget. Germany is the out
law among the nations, trampling un-
der foot every obligation of interna.
tional law, threatening every ideal
dear to the hearts Of freemen; and
the world win not be a safe place fol
liberty until the German autocracy Is
overthrown and crushed forever.
We would have lost the respect OF
mankind and our own self-respect haC
we failed to take up the gauntlet sc
insolently thrown in our face by the
German rulers. We are fighting fol
our own freedom and for the freedom
of all men during all the years t.
come. It takes fighting to make thu
people free and more fighting to keel
the people free. We Want no con
Quered territory, we deslre no indem
