COPENHAGEN, Jan. 13.-In
spite of the character of belliger-
ents' notes, there is belief In
Danish diplomatic circles that
peace is nearer.
The popular sentiment in Den
mark, too, appears to have chang
ed since September.
Then the Danes were willing 70
fight at the drop of hat. They
are still strongly anti-Ge.man, but
speculation as to Denmark join
ing forces with the entente has
now ceased.

Car Service
TO THE EDITOR:

IL 1ftE EDllOh.
If people who complain against
street car service and conductors
would step ahead in crowded cars
instead Of laughing at conuctora
when aske to move forward, bet
ter service would result.
If auto drivers would give mo-
tormen little more right upon
the tracks there would be fewer
accidents and time saved. There
is plenty of room for uto drivers
between the tracks and curb
stone.

HEMMED PATCHES ARE BEST
Method Found Most Satisfactory For
All Garments That Must Be
Laundered Frequently.

For garments laundered frequently,
such as aprons, house dresses or mus
lin under-garments, hemmed patches
are best. In this patch the edge OF the
hole is trimmed into square or rectan-
gular shape to make matching OF tg-
ures easier.
Then the edge is turned under and
hemmed to the patch piece and the
edge of the patch piece is turned under
and hemmed to the garment. For thin
dresses, silk waists and garments that
require only occasional laundering,
the set in, or overland patch, is bet
ter, as it is very inconspicuous.
For any patching, old material is
best. If only new scraps are available,
shrink and fade them before cutting
the patch piece. In all figured mate
rials, tile figures should be matched be-
fore the patch is sewed permanently.

TIGHT Skirt Is

New YOrk.-New clothes are pass
ing before the eyes as quickly as a
vital and dramatic series of motion
pictures.
One has only sufficient mental vision
to catch at the leading points as tncy
swirl by. These things will not go
into oblivion. They will return as 90
the moving films; but the world OF
women wants to get at the gist OF the
movement at this moment.
The whole continent of women is
buying autumn clothes. Those who
preached economy, suspension of fash
ions, standardized uniforms for wom-
en-, the turning of women buyers in
the industry of apparel into the work
of war relief, must feel that they have
preached in vain.
The reel of clothes that is running
off quickly before the eyes Of every
woman is not nearly so confusing II
one brings to bear upon it a we'll
adjusted judgment.
The first impression one has is that
the vital changes are few, but this i'm
preston gives way after day or two
to the feeling that the changes, what
ever they are, are very important.
The majority Of women look at new
clothes in the light Of contrast to
old ones. There are few women SO

Lead-PenciI Figure.
There will be hundred or more
remarks like this made by the women
who view the clothes Of the hour.
France has not changed her silhouette
as much as America has. She pro-
duced the lead-pencil figure late last
spring, but America takes 1t up this
season with an enthusiasm that Is
usually given to what is original
A few of the American designers
have exaggerated the French idea.
There have been certain gowns sent
out by a well-known house and extern
sively copied by those who deal with
the trade over the country, which put
O woman's figure back to where it was
In 1880. The skirt is pulled about the
figure until movement is actually i'm
peded. 1t has all the symptoms of the
famous pull-back skirt to which the
hustle was attached. That appendage
is also in fashion, but made so incon-
spicuous that it cannot offend even
the most conservative taste.
Odd as it may sound, many of these
pull-back skirts are longer than any
thing we have had for four years.
They have to be of decent length, for
their. tendency to lift at the back and
pull across the knees would bring the
front hem higher than the law allows.
1t is mockery to refer to a law In
| dress, probably, in the light of what
we have seen during the last two
wears, for what the French call "a

| bodice" has been combined to make
the average woman's costume.
However, as one reviews the skirts

though not very definitely, in 1915.
Now they begin at the shoulder and end
as near the hem as they can get, and
they are belted or not, according to-
nobody knows just what. Now that
there's all this "Wake up, China 7"
movement going on, the thing to do is
to encourage the placid Chinese in
every way, even If we have to wear
Chinese clothes to do it. That's why
our costumes include straight coats
and tunics, straight, wide, open but
not ingenious sleeves, Chinese embroi-
derry and Chinese-like girdles with
bows in the back. Last year a woman
had to have everything stiff with wool
or floss embroidery; this year she will
not be content unless there is soutache

eoends of Italian River,

A war correspondent, referring to
tbe Italian advance, where the River
Timavo emerges from it's subterranean
channels, recalls old legends. Virgil
describes the Timavo as having rushed
from the mountain by nine mouths;
but. as the Italians find it today, it has
only three sources. The quantity Of wa
