OF Interest to Women
THE coLoRED JACKET AND WHITE SKIRT.
BY ANNE RITTENHousE.
hi Corr,.pondence Of The star.

NEW YORK, May 1e.-In the early
spring . new old fashion was revived
when o white jersey skirt carried a
waistcoat of dull red trimmed with
black braid at the exhibitions. 1t
created some attention. this idea, ana
ornate waistcoats, taking the gar
ments of the menfolk as patterns.
1t has proved to be rather fetch
ing fashion. The gayety of the little
garment in contrast with the dead
Wilderness of the skirt was likable.
and the relief from the ubiquitous
eweater was appreciated by those who
wondered IL the reign of the knitted
garment would never be threatened by
something else.
of sweaters by the majority. even
though Palm Beach folk did prefer
anything else in the way of a wrap,
but there is an evident desire to vary
its monotony with gayety of another
sort.
The striped silk blouse with its
double sash of soft brocade or Chinese
figured silk has gained host of adj
herents, but it. like the colored waist
coat, is not generally known. The
former relieves one of the necessity of
wearing a blouse. which. in hot wealth
.er, is a relief of Importance, and saves
laundry.
We shall probably be reduced to
wearing silk underclothes, which
sounds like a successful calamity, or
those of woven Isle, and cutting out
wash skirts and blouses before the
season is well advanced, for there are
few so optimistic as to believe that we
will soon have more soap and water
for our various modes of cleanliness.
1t is we'll therefore. that the public
should seriously consider the buying
of garments that do not need weekly
visits to the tub, or, rather, those that
regain their freshness by the mere act
of washing and ironing.

That Colored Jacket.

Over the land, for some reason. there
has started demand for the small
Jacket that is in colors and is not to
2 be washed. 1t must be of the type that
=. does not show soil easily, as the sweat
er does.
First among these fashions is the
waistcoat cut after the fashion adopt
ed by the menfolk. Then comes the
eton jacket, new arrival to give i'm
petus to a fashion that is still weak
1T is cut quite short to show one of
the indispensable girdles which are fea-
-.tured in some sort or another on skirts,
blouses, coats and even on evening
= gowns.
: The sleeves of the majority of these
! etons are long and cut according to
regulation pattern, but the sketch
.egiven today shows one of. these gar
ments that incorporates the bell
= shaped sleeve, which the dressmakers
care trying to launch with large sue

The color of the short jacket IS tur-

Insurance of Soldiers and Sailor:


Washington, D. c., Nov. so, 1917.
The act which provides for Govern
ment life insurance for soldiers and
sailors has now been In operation q
little more than q month. The Sec
rotary OF the Treasury announced on
November 18th, that UP to that date
4,168 applications under the new
law had been received, representing
insurance in the sum of $3.50, O93,-
OOO. From four to six thousand ap-
pllcations are received each day at
the Treasury Department the amount
OF insurance applied for sometimes
reaching a total Of fifty million dol
lars IN a single day.
The law provides that soldiers, sal
lors, marines and nurses IN active ser
vice may obtain from the Govern
nnent life insurance IN amounts not
exceeding SO, geo at premium rates
ranging from sixty-Ive cents a month
az the age Of twenty-one years to
SI-ZO month at the age of fifty-one
years for each 81, 900 of insurance.
One Of the primary objects OF this
law IS to lessen the tremendous bur
den OF pensions which has followed
as consequence OF all American
wars
It Is evident that the administra--
ton OF this new branch of Govern
ment- work Is big business In itself.
But this Is only one Of many govern
mental activities incident to the war
which are adding great numbers of
