THE PoPE's PROPOSALS

"HERE is no more reason to-day
to doubt the sincerity of the
= Pope's peace proposals or to
view them as other than beneficial
to the allied cause than there was
when they first came to the attention
of the public yesterday, alarmists to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
The result will be that Germany
either must define her terms of peace
or admit that she is bent upon world
conquest. In either event she must
submit her case to the Judgment of
the public, and the allies can lose
nothing by that.
On the other hand, the entente,
and America, too, must make known
their demands, and if the allies are
honest in their aims as popularity
understood, and none doubts that
they are, they cannot be injured by
joining in a basis of settlement to
which America in a broad way could
easily subscribe.
The differences of opinion" which
some writer's profess to believe will
develop as a result of the promulga-
tion of peace terms, will not arise
If the allies are sincere. But if there
is anything behind the scenes, as
Germany has intimated, then the
sooner it is brought before the spot
light the better.
There has been much talk of pre-
mature peace, but the only kind of
peace that would be premature
would be a peace leaving Germany
free TO repeat the outrage of which
she has been guilty. and there will
be no cessation of the war until that
has been made impossible.

THE CHAMBERS WORK

THE CHAMBERS WORK
JX7HEN one reads the condensed
wv report of the activities of the
Chamber of Commerce for a single
year he must be impressed with the
constructive and useful activities OF
that important organization. This
review demonstrates the quality OF
the public service which is being rem
dered by the active spirits of the
community cooperating through the
central body.
To enumerate all that has been
done by the Chamber of Commerce
during the year. would be to print
a list of about every public activity
in, which the city has had a share
In all the important work devolving
upon the community as result OF
the preparation for the national de-
fense the Chamber of Commerce has
had a potential part. One campaign
after another has been directed by
this organization, and the results
show, beyond any question, the high
character of the work that has been
done.
Perhaps no feature of the activi-
ties of the Cham Der has been more
appreciated by the business COM
munity than the bringing to Harris
burg of men Of national and inter-
national fame to discuss the prob
lens which now confront the nation.
Through the cooperation of the
Harrisburg organization other COM
munities have been brought into
close touch with our own. encour-
aging a friendly spirit and emphasiz-
ing what is being done here to pro-
mote a better municipal administra-
ton and a more progressive and
modern city.
Through the Chamber of Com
merce much has been accomplished
in the adjustment of questions
which at times have been more or
less subjects of controversy. and the
several surveys made by experts dur
ing the year have again shown the
wisdom of the leaders of our .mu-
nicipal development in obtaining the
best advice possible in all matters af-
fecting the welfare of the entire
community.
. But there is still much for the
Chamber to do, and we believe the
body of patriotic, self-sacrifcing
public-spirited citizens who compris,
the organization will meet the ISSUES
as they come and solve the problem:
in the interest OF the people as q
whole. While the organization q.
such is non-political and should moi
be dragged into the political activi,
ties of the community, it is still
within the purview of such a body
to discuss matters and things which
directly affect the city in its admin.

every reason why the members Of

GLOVES TO VIE WITH SHOES
oayety In coIors for Hand Coverings
Match Footgear, According to
Latest Styles In Boots.

Since the feet have taken to fan
ciful coverings, 1t has come about that
the hands are making an effort to
match the other extremities In this
matter. 1t is to be noted that among
the fall gloves are those Of French
kid which have shaded embroidery on
the back.
This embroidery Is not confined to
black, but Is exploited In blue, In
green, purple and brown, not to forget
gray. The idea seems to be that the
predominant color of the costume may
be matched In the embroidery Of the
glove.
Then there is the glove which has
the cuff enriched with cords that have
the effect of tucks. The stitching of
the latter is done in color or may be
had In white to match the glove.
Rather practical is the glove of white,
tan or black which has a cuff of con.
trasting color. This style of glove has
the Biarritz wrist, without opening
and with elastic finish to make 1t con-
vepient for drawing on and Off the
hand.

I A combination of smOOth-faced tan
or sand-cOlored cloth with fine Hudson
seal, removes some of the difficulties
which lie In the path Of the designers
of coats. When the task Is to achieve
handsome coat for general wear the
designer knows to start with that no
color is a better choice than tan, and
no fur looks better with 1t than seal,
they belong to one another.
Having this assurance as to pleas
ing color, the creator of new coats
must show his ability, by original
methods of cutting and deft use of
new style features, In lines and In de-
tails of finishing. Whoever planned
the coat pictured here betrays mas
terful hand In these particulars. The
coat Is plain and full, with fashionable
straight lines. Its fullness Is clever
ly managed by the insertion Of three
plaits at each side, back of the peck

CLING TO CHARM OF YOUTH
Good Complexion Cannot Be Retained
II Covered With Layers Of Rouge
and Swathes Of Powder.

Every young girl, no matter who she
may he, has the charm of youth and
should hold 1t. It Is as elusive as a
dream and cannot last for many years,
so while It is hers she should cherish
It. 1t Is the look of youth.
But no girl can hold 1t, no matter
how clever, who covers 1t up with lay.
ers of rouge and swathes of powder,
declares beauty specialist. A touch
Of rouge when one Is tired and the
face Is cOlorless, especially in the
evening, is not objectionable, but the
girl who has a good complexion, the
gift of nature, should never resort to
rouge or powder, except for the light
rice powder that keeps the face from
the shiny look, which is such de-
tractor Of beauty.
It seems almost unbelievable that
any girl with really good complex
ion would resort to paint or powder,
and yet It is, true that many do. It
may be that these girls have an idea
that these aids to complexion give
to them the appearance Of sophistica-
ton.
And they are right, In q measure.
For rouge invariably does give the
lines of the face an older look, a hard
ening of the countenance, IL too rash
ly used.

WATCH THE LITTLE THINGS
Wise Mothers Keep Eye on Remnant
Counter and Utilize Leftovers for
Little Girls Dresses.

The little girl of the family may be
charmingly QUILTED mt trifling cost
IL thought and Industry go into the
task.
Few people are so foolish as to
underestimate the Importance Of APP
pearance. and the woman who dresses
well with comparatively small out
lay Of money In her turn, has been
properly dressed as child by a
mother who took Interest In her small
daughters clothes.
The wise mother will keep an eye
on the remnant counter, and on odds
and ends left over from the apparel
Of grown-up members Of the family.
With clever combination of fabrics,
or deft touch of hnndwork here and
there. she will give originality and in
dividuallty to dresses for the little girl.
A complete seasons outfit should
never be arranged ut one time. A new
dress now and then means more to q
child than II does to an adult, so that
TO some extent the Juvenile wardrobe
should be arranged piecemeal.

STYLES. FOR WINTER COATS
Fashion Provides for Straight Lines
with Generous Fullness, but
There Must BE No Flare.

vsfaight lines characterize the best
coats designed for the season. This
must not be taken to mean that the
garments are narrow. Quite the con.
trary Is true. Generous fullness Is let
In, but they are without flare. In
street and utility conts sleeves are usu-
ally set I'm, while flowing sleeves cut
in one with the garment are the rule
on evening wraps.
An indicated waistline Is almost the
invarlable rule with the new coats.
Sometimes belt that is wide and Cir
dle.shaped Is used; again strap belt
tied loosely and with hanging ends
may be favored.
The coat with empire back and
slightly circular front section Is occa-
slonally seen.
Dressy afternoon coats Of satin, or vel
vet. and nearly always deliberately fur
trimmed, are being given u great deal
of attention by the best designers and
a strong demand for them Is expected.

Grated with hand-painted ornaments
that are specimens of the beautiful
handicraft of that hnnd-crafty people,
and with applique of light green satin

was not woven in Japan its design GER
tainly originated there.
The cap and scarf are made of satin
in q very soft rose color, to begin with.
At the ends of the scarf and I'm front
of the cap there are emplacements Of
brOcade as shown in the picture. On
the scarf ends the brocadc is sewed
along the edges to the scarf with long
stitches of heavy, gray angora yarn.
Then the entire surface of the scarf Is
covered with parallel rows of these
long stitches. They veil the rose color
with mist Of gray, because Of the
fuzziness of the yarn. and the effect
Is beautiful.
The scarf Is about two yards long
