remedy food situations growing out Of
the over export and short supplies OF
the 1916 harvest.
There was no reserve stocks in prac-
tically all of the main staples with
which to enter the new harvest year,
and, in fact, in some of the principal
staples the experts had proceeded 10
such lengths that there was an abso-
lutely under-supply of our own neces-
stiles during the past two months.
On the top of this situation, various
factors have interfered with the ear
lier arrival of the new harvest. The
farmer, in preparing for 80 per
cent increase of winter wheat acre
age in the face of the shortage in agri-
cultural labor, has prevented the free
marketing Of many commodities. and
In addition to these difficulties there
exists thru the country, owing to the
large coal and munitions shipments, a
considerable car shortage. Resulting
from these causes, there has been
periodic shortages in first one com =
modify after another, In one locality
in the United States after another, and
a large part of the energies OF the food
administration has been absorbed in
securing a distribution and n redistri-
button of existing supplies in such a
manner as to keen the country gener-
ally supplied with foodstuffs, and but
for the cooperation OF the railways
In meeting first one emergency situa-
tion after another, we should have had
local famines in one commodity after
another In great many sections

The Little French
Shops on This Side

There are shops in this country where one
can be fitted out in everything but shoes and
stockings, and even these will be bought for
the customer if so desired. These shops have
modelled themselves on the exclusive French
places where lingerie, hats, wells, furs, hand
bags and parasols are offered as accessories to
the purchased gown. If the person at the head
Of such a shop is a competent and artistic ad-
wiser, then woman cuts her troubles in half
by having the entire costume mapped out IN
one place and sent home in one box.
1t takes supreme artist to 90 about from
shop to shop, buying gown at one place, q
hat at another, a wrap here and shoes there.
and then go home and assemble the various
parts into a successful whole.
This kind Of shopping is the chief recreation
and delight Of certain types of women, and woe
be 20 the adviser who takes it away from
them! For their occupation in life would be
gone, and they would always consider that they
we're driven by machinery instead Of personal
inclination; but :he genuinely artistic woman,
the active woman, the business woman, would
ike TO equip herself from head to foot under
one roof, at one time, and dismiss from her
mind the problems Of that costume.

No Law for Correct
Choice of a Hat

1t is not possible to lay down laws for the
buying Of hats. The tilt Of nose, the droop
Of an eyebrow, would smash every rule con-
ceived and expressed. If a woman cannot learn
how TO buy hat she should take up the study
until she is letter perfect and she will save
time, vitality, temper and money! quartet
that is sorely needed for more serious affairs
in these days.
1t is also quite useless TO tell people to de-
termine their choice of hat by their ages.
There are women of fifty who can wear the
broad-brimmed sailor made for the girl of
twenty and there are women Of thirty who

Beauty Means Much More
Than Pretty Face

Surely. but imperceptibly, the viewpoint OF
the world toward good looking women changed
People demanded more than a lovely face; they
grew artistic and wanted lovely silhouette
Then they grew insurgent and announced that
they cared little for prettiness in the face un-
less it was accompanied by, and often over
shadowed by, style and well fitting clothes I'm
short, women to-day have greater task forced
upon them if they would commend their ap-
pearance to the public. \ woman was born
prettv in other centuries, and she used art
and nature to continue this facial attraction
but she left the choice of her clothes
the lines of her figure and the making of her
corset to chance. To-day il is not in the least
necessary for her to be born with trace Of
beauty to commend herself TO far-hung pub
lie and be considered a woman Of striking ap-
pearance.
The silhouette is the thing.
This is accentuated or probably it Is bet
ter to say it is nearly embodied, in the hat.
The woman who does not strike the top note
clear and strong might as well consider her
self out of the running in fashion and In at
tractiveness Of personal appearance.

Hat Is the Keynote
Of the Costume

In looking at the whole scheme Of dressing
from the point of view Of reporter Of
clothes, the safe assertion is that the milners
arc right. No gown justify itself. or its
wearer for choosing it, if it is marred by the
wrong hat. On the other hand, good hat
which is admirably posed and which brings out
all the best there is in a face can redeem
qown that would otherwise be a doplorable
failure. That is the way to judge the merits.
There was once time when women and the
public gave more attention to the face than to
