England and her greatest war.
When America went TO war she in
troduced the red. white and blue into
women's apparel to such an alarming
manner that one critic truly said that
If this exploitation of the Flag con-
tirued, Americans would soon prefer
to see the enemys flag to their own.
How America received the war is
one of the amazing psychic develop
ments in the consciousness OF our
race that should be written up by
someone as great as Mr.. Wells.
We dined and danced, we spent
money and Travelled, we gave out
sums of money too gigantic for even
a Medici to comprehend, We opened
our country homes and wore splendid
apparel, we talked of starvation and
ordered champagne and terrapin, we
cried economy and bought new motor
cars, and we spoke of the sombcrness
of the great event and went to the
opening of new restaurant and paid
SO per cover.
Everywhere we wore the Colors.
They not only floated from the win
dows, covering the facades IF houses,
swung from every public building
and hotel. ornamented railroad sta
tions and draped themselves around
monuments, but they were carried
by every motor car, by the OK wagons
of the south, by the bicycles of boys,
by the hucksters on their little carts,

week that war was declared; for in
addition to all the methods by which
the Flag itself was exploited, several
million people wore the colors in
their buttonholes, wrapped about
their hats and pinned to their shoul-
ders.
one young woman even took it
upon herself to pin the flag on its
standard to the shoulder of her coat
suit, and from that point of vantage
it has floated ever since the war be-
gan.
Billions of buttons showing the
Flag were sold in two weeks and

a white star embroidered on each
shoulder, and there were caps taken
from those of the French guard of
1870, with the wide strap under the
chin and the red, white and blue
cockade floating in front.
There were red. white and blue
sunshades to match handbags. There
were army capes of every kind in
dark blue lined with red and showing
white satin collars. There were mil
itary suits of blue serge with lapols
and cuffs of red and white striped
silk, and there were visored caps Of
red satin and patent leather trimmed
with a dark blue band.
As General Joffre rode from the
city hall to upper Fifth avenue, he
must have wondered at the over
whelming display of his own colors,
perhaps not realizing that America
was exploiting herself as well as
France.
1t is no longer a question as to
whether the three colors will be in
troduced into fashion thru the en-
trance of America into the war; 1t
Is a question as to how they shall bc
suppressed.
The colors of cur Flag are excep-
tionally lovely. and bits of red or
blue introduced into the costume
freshen and enliven 1t; but a studied
and continuous array of the three col
ors joined together in some type of
costume should become a dead fash
ion because Of its monotony, If for
nothing else.
The Wearing of the Capes.
The widespread demand for army
capes cut in any fashion that differ
ent sections of the army wear, is ac-
cepted by all the makers of women's
clothes as dominant fashion. 1t
has given the tailors a good chance
to break loose into n mass of work
which is ready for instant sale.
cats and skirts have not been de-
manded as much as usual this spring,
and even elaborate afternoon frocks
have been partly replaced by sport
suits; therefore, the coming Of these
military capes into the fashions or
the hour has proved a boon to those
who deal in cloth.
There are far too many designs In
theee capes to attempt to describe
them, but the general silhouette
must be slim, there must be an open
ing of some kind on each side for the
arm, the collar must be "A pretentious
and elaborate affair and the cape
must fall well below the knees.
As garment 1t has become seri-
Gus rival to the top coat. This is
natural. Several years of the top coat
as n constant garment and its in
crease in fashion during the last two
years have put one or more into the
possession of most women, until they
feel they have enough top coats to
last them until the fashion is dead.
For the several varieties of capes
that are worn, the choice of materials
is usually limited to thin, dark blue
serge, white broadcloth, black and
white checked wool and sometimes
deep red broadcloth.
In all the capes there Is no ten
dency to hide the openings at the
sides which serve as armholes. There
is q wide band Of soutache braid,

and a good many new ideas seem to
have been discovered for them.
They do not limit their appearance
to sport clothes, but have become a
smart bit of trimming on evening
gowns. In the latter capacity they
are made of colored tulle heavily
threaded with jewels, and on one
especially good gown they are car
ried like small buckets by "A long rope
neck.
There are pockets that droop and

one of the dark blue capes which
Is lined with army red has 12-inch
openings for the arms which are
edged with small blue bone buttons
and buttonholes, so that any part of
the opening can be fastened when
ever desired.
When one tires of bright colors,
the mind constantly turns to black
and white checks. There are seasons
when this design is a trifle smarter
than other seasons, but 1t is always

Cleanliness and Neatness
Most important Factors in
Arranging InvaIid's Tray

Cleanliness and neatness are impor-
tant factors to be considered In ar
ranging the tray of an invalid, points
out Miss Loula Kennedy. instructor
In domestic science In the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
The food should be SO arranged that
the patient will not have to put forth
much effort to obtain 1t. The artistic
touches count for much in arranging
the tray. Daintiness the eye
and creates an interest In the food.
The best dishes and linens obtainable
are not too good for the patient.
The food should be fresh, and of
the best quality. It Is desirable to
have as great a variety as possible.
The cooking should be done with the
utmost care. Hot foods should be
served hot, and cold foods cold.
Enough food should be given to sat.
isfy the patient but the plate should
not be overloaded. and 1t must be
served regularly. Serving meals on
time Is as important as giving medl.
cine on time.

Erect Carriage.

Erect posture is the primary ele.
ment in good bodily poise. 1t Is u very
simple matter. And yet 1t Is very,
very uncommon. Erect posture is not
only a factor In beauty; 1t Is a very
important factor In health. This is
true not only because 1t means a
normal condition Of the spine, with n
healthy state Of the nerve centers, but
because Of Its influence upon the func-
tons Of all the internal organs. Ma
ture intended these organs to occupy
a certain position in the body. They
do their best work only when they
occupy these allotted positions. When
they r crowded out Of position or
permitted, through bad posture, to sag
or fall several inches below. their e.
f~iciency is naturally interfered with.
They are obliged to struggle against
a sever handicap.-Physical Culture.

Pulse Of the Ocean May Yet
Be Harnessed by Boring Of
Tunnels Through the Cliffs.

Near the city OF Santa Cruz. CAL.
there is q low tableland along the
shore. with abrupt chalklike cliffs
some 20 feet high. In several places

picturesque archways through projec-
tons from these cliffs. At q place

ward In rhythmic succession with the
regular pulse Of the vast Pacific their
hydraulic pressure Internationally
forces the water up In the pit to q
level higher than that Of the surface
Of the water.
So there, In that natural chamber,
someone years ago built a float. It
works up and down, safe from storm
waves. and Its regular perpendicular
tread is attached to q wheel that turns
an electric generator.
The point is, writes an engineer,
that perhaps other cliffs Immediately
and continuously exposed to wave ac-
ton might be artiflcially equipped
with similar well holes and tunnels,
bored through from the land side and
made to serve as practical e pulse
motors. Such an arrangement would
attain conversion of ocean energy in

1t would take advantage, where topo-

there are cliffs, why might 1t not be
made so by creating artificial tun-

Machinery Of The

The Indifference Of mankind to his

The care of the body means the
