The Pinched-Back Coat

Hip-length coats with the pinched
effect at the back and straight
front are very smart for the SER
viceable suit for daily wear or for
the sports suit. The back is belted
with rather wide belt stitched
down over short pleats, which pro-
duces the pinched effect. With this
type Of coat the full box-pleated
skirt makes an excellent costume. In
mannish mixtures and jersey cloth,
these suits are worn for shopping,
sports, and for practical use. The
sketch illustrates one of these jaunty
suits in bright green jersey cloth.

costumes is still favored by great
many. a long street skirt is really
not graceful in a tailored suit, and
women are not willing to sacrifice
becoming styles so readily.
In afternoon and evening dresses,
however. the longer skirt is not at
all ungraceful. Some afternoon

is really looking a little too far
ahead to be thinking Of spring styles
already. Al present, skirts are still
very ample, Box pleats and side
pleats are very freely used. and this
means that a good deal OF material
is used in a dress or skirt. The

iations from the straight lines. The
Turkish trouser effect and draped
skirt come from Paris as a departure
from the extremely straight hanging
and clinging effects.
Full overskirts are also much us
ed for evening, fashioned of soft
silk voiles, tulles and laces. Black
and white combinations occur very
often in evening gowns. Black net
worked up with white beads over a
white satin foundation is one of the
striking combinations used by an ex-
pert French designer. A sash Of
black satin forms wide girdle,
which is weighed at the ends by hea-
Wy black and white bead tassels.
Bead Embroidery Very Prominent
Bead embroidery is a strong rival
just now of the darn-stitch embroid-
: cry worked in silk and worsted. On
white backgrounds, white and color

The white chalk beads on dark sa-
tins and silks form very handsome
trimmings. Beads of various colors
arranged in designs to initiate the
popular Paisley effect is one of the
! newest developments in bead work.
Other very attractive color combina-
lions are also seen, such as dull blue,
/ old rose and brown on light tan
backgrounds.
Recent costumes from Paris also
show that machine stitching is a
very prominent form Of trimming.
Rows upon rows Of stitching are u.s.
ed at the edges Of coats and on col
lar and cuffs. The stitching is often
done in silk of darker shade than
the material 1t is used on and some
times in the same shade.
Pockets Still Persist
| When we consider the traditional
fickleness Of Fashion, 1t seems as
though the life Of the pocket has
been very long, indeed; but the
pocket still fourishes on suits, coats
and dresses and shows not the slight
est signs Of becoming extinct The
latest development in this line is
the lolg, loop-like pocket placed ov-
er the hips and standing away from
the skirt. The smart afternoon dress
OF black satin shown in the sketch
illustrates this type Of pocket, also,
the new tie-on collar. which crosses
in front and ties at the back, some
what like the tie-on jumpers. The
long loop pocket is usually made OF
a color which contrasts with the
dress. or else It is Of the same ma.
terial. but its presence is emphasiz.

embroidery or in beads. Or, IL 1t 1.

Death From Superstition.

A superstitio9 Buddhist caused q
mans death in Mura, Japan. A dealer
In clogs went mad, owing to money
troubles. His wife and his sister con-
suited Buddhist. The ignorant de-
voice, believing that the man was pos
sessed by fox, advised them to take
him to Nose temple. In accordance
with the request Of the mans relatives
the de.otee took the lunauc to Nose
temple, where he threw him In a pool
beneath waterfall known as Shintaki,
holding him fast there with ropes. He
repeated the process for few days.
Needless to say the funatic's health
suffered considerably by this extraordi-
nary treatment. A few days later, at
about 4 q. M, the zealot threw the
lunatic in the basin of the waterfall
as usual and left him there for few
hours. Before he returned the man
died from exhaustion and cold.
Amazed at this result the ignorant BIZ
got buried the body in temple known
ns Tsknsnnt in the same village. and
made out that the lunadc had died
from sudden illness. The police,
however, heard of the affair and ar.
rested the man. ar.. -.

Membefs OF the state council said
they welcomed the presidents action
and regarded the executive order as .
result Of the resolution adopted by the
interstate conference OF state councils
of defense in Chicago last Thursday,

The chagrin Of the producers OF the
state over the summary action OF the
president was accentuated in view Oh
the fact they had received definite as
surances from their spokesman In
Washington that no action by the
president need be expected before Sept.
Is. and at that time he probably would

BURLEsoN DENoUNcEs EDITORS,
Gives Senate Reasons For Barring So
cialistic Publications From Mails,


Washington, Aug. 2s.-The Masses,
socialist magazine published in New
York. was denounced by Postmaster
General Burleson in a communication
to the senate, as a leader in organized
propaganda to discourage enlistments,
prevent subscriptions to the liberty
loan and obstruct the draft act. He
mentioned the Jeffersonian, Of which
Thomas E. Watson is editor. at in the
same class.
Mr.. Burleson declined to give more
specific reasons for barring the Masses
from the mails. saying such informa-
ton was incompatible with the public
interest
in response to the ssnate's resolution
Of inquiry. presented by Senator Hard
wick. the postmaster general wrote to
Chairman Bankhead Of the postoffice
committee:
From matter received by this de-
partment from various sections Of the
country" he said. Il find that there
is an organized propaganda to dis
credit and handicap in every way the
government in the prosecution Of this
war. with the clear and unmistakable
purpose Of defeating the objects for
which the government Is spending
millions of dollars. and probably will
be called upon to sacrifice thousands Of
lives.
The publications forming a part Of
this propaganda In many cases SO
guard their utterances as the editors
think will keep them out OF, prison.
They are nevertheless united In pub
fishing the same class Of matter,
whether it be true or half true or
wholly false. and are daily accom-
plishing results clearly in violation of
the espionage law.
Common among these publications
stand the Masses and the Jeffersonian
Their respective editors are leaders in
the movement. Their writings and
speeches are quoted with approval by
the press OF this charseter sthruout The
country. as well as in circular matter
emanating from the same source.
Publications Of this class have from
week to week contepded that the So
called draft act recently passed by
congress is unconstitutional. and under
the pretense Of legitimate argument
have actually discouraged enlistments.

act and prevented subscriptions to the
