LAMPSHADE BAG IS NOVELTY
Made 10 Look as Though 1t
Came From the Orient.

Bags have come to be important &C
cessories of dress. Nowadays a WON.
an has as many bags as a man has
pockets; but, of course, she Is privi-
legged to carry bur one bag at a time.
The creative ability has surely been
overworked by some persons, accord
ing to the variety of the bags seen on
the market. There is scarcely a shape,
a material, a design or a combination
of colors that has not been brought
into service.
The novel thing of the moment is the
lampshade bag. This, as its name I'M
plies, is made of a lampshade, the
wicker variety. The shade, of course,
is inverted. the narrower end forming
the bottom of the bag. The inside Of
the shade is lined with silk of any
color one prefers-the handsome fig.
ured silks are very good for the pur.
pose. Allow sufficient silk to form a
deep bag. IF the shade is not very
deep the silk can make up for what
the shade lacks in depth. Finish the
top with a hem and through it run
cords to form the handle. Weight the
ends of the cords with bead tassels
and put one of the tassels at the bot
tom of the bag. The result viii be u
bag that looks as though it came from
the Orient.

ODD CIRCLES USED
Are Designed TO Take the Place
of Draperies on Skirts.
Some of Them Closely Resemble Lit
tie Waistcoats Formerly Worn as
Suit Accompaniment

In designing skirts for fall and
winter, plated and straight-line eff
fects are shown in far greater num-
Der than are the draped skirts. Vir-
tually the only kind of drapery fea-
tured consists of low placed loops on
either side, with the skirt proper mar
rowing to the hem.
Odd girdles and belts are designed
to take the place of draperies, and in
addition to the clever Spanish girdle
here shown, another is the "waist-
coat" girdle. This closely resembles
the little w~aistcoats that were shown
by some dress accessory designers
paniments. OF course when designed
as part of a skirt 1t is attached
to and becomes a part of the skirt.
It slopes up owe each hip and Is cut
in points in front. Frequently. two
rows of buttons are set on to give
a double-breasted appearance, and
again a single row of buttons CEN
tering the front of the girdle aids In
the waistcoat stimulation.
The actual fastening of the girdle
is at one side. Usually it is equipped
with one or two tiny change
pockets.
Another odd and very attractive CIR
die shown on one side of the new
satin skirts is a 6-inch wide section
of the fabric laid In very fine knife
plaits.
Rows of stitching hold it in the en-
ter. and at the upper and lower edges
it flares. OF curse a girdle of this
kind could be worn becomingly only
by a very slender woman, where line
rather than curve was the dominant
note.
Plaids and stripes are being used
extensively in the development of
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1917-10-26

All of the fair sex who look at huge
fur coats, fur neck pieces and muffs
and despair at their not being able to
purchase such expensive articles, are
In for a great surprise, and a pleasing
one. The latest designed 'fur pieces"
are altogether just as pretty, perhaps
not as warn, but very few women wear
furs for the warmth they give, ard
their cost is negligible in comparison
with the cost of the real thing. The
set shown~in the picture is made of Is
pahan ribbon trimmed at the edges
and with bands of fur running through.
The stole, muff, hat, and even the purse
are made OF the same materials in the
same way.

War and Fruit Trees.

The London Spectator has discov-
eed that the destruction of fruit bear
ing trees is inadmissible as an act OF
war and was condemned in Scripture
1900 years ago. 1t proves its point by
quoting from Deuteronomy Xxx: when
thou shalt besiege a city a long time,
In making war against it to take 1t,
thou shalt no destroy the trees there
of by forcing an ak against them; for
thou mayest eat of them, and thou
shalt not cut them down (for the tree
of the field is mans life to employ
them in the siege; only the trees which
thou knowest that they be not trees
for meat thou shalt destroy and cut
5ham down."

9O1 Colorado Building

901 Colorado Building
Washington, October 20-Unless you
have business in Wsshington-im per-
alive business-stay away. The beau
tiful ratioi al CAPT al is DO pla'e for a
tourist or pleasure seeker in these days.
There Is literally 10 room for such a
person. Washington is no " harboring
anywhere from 10000 to 10000 more
persons than it did early in a pril, when
the United States entered the war. Its
population has increased at least TWEEN
ty per cent. The problems of housing
people, feeding them, providing them
with means of transportation aud find
Ing office room are serious and are still
inadequately met.
Hotels are overcrowded aud prices
are consequently high. This does not
merely apply to the modern hotels. 1t
applies to all the old mes that were al
ways The last to fill up. MOI ey will
not get you a hotel room; luck is the
chief factor. Recently a visitor 10
Washington hired a taxicab and visit
ed eight hotels before he could find a
room, and then be could not get a bath
with it. The city Is overfio wing with
people who are here on Government
business and who are paying all kinds
OF prices for living accommodations.
1t Is almost impossible to rent an
apartment in this city today, although
in proportion to its population Wash
lngton has a very high percentage of
apartments. Rents have gone up, but
even at high rentals there is prac icaliy
nothing left. A man who expects to
be In Washington only a year recently
bought a house, because he could lot
rent an apartment. He is taking the
chance Of selling 1t at the end of the
year, and his chance Is a good one, if
the wal lasts. Only a short time ago a
certain Washington man who has been
occupying a three-room apartment, for
which he paid S65 a month, found that
he was able to fiud other accommoda-
tions. So he rented his apartment, fur
nished, for $175 a month. 1t is today
paying him a net income of $40 q
month. He leased 1t to a man who
simply had to be here on the account of
the war. Such Instances illustrate the
extraordinary demand for housing &C
commodations.
Apartment buildings that are yet un-
furnished are rented from top to bot
tom, even those in remote sections of
the town. There are few vacant
houses anywhere. Boarding houses
are jammed. The wal brought to
Washington thousands of clerks and
stenographers and they gobbl' up ally
the available places to live. The wo-
mems committee of the National De-
Tense Council has just issued a warning
to girls and women not to come TO
Washington unless they have jobs Sc
cured in advance, aud have made ar
rangements for living here.
The Government has helped to create
much of this situation. In its search
for offices it communicated several
apartment houses end hotels, turning
out the tenants. The Food AdminiS-
tration occupies in entirety what was
formerly one Of the most popular tour
ist and residential hotels. Office build
ings that once had plenty Of vacant
suites nc longer look for tenants. They

The eating problem for the army of
wal workers here Is a difficult one.
From 1890 to 2 O'clock In the middle
of the day 1t is well-nigh impossible to
get a seat lin q restaurant, unless you
are willing to stand in line and wait
for a turn. Only the other day, att
o'clock, q man visited four different
restaurants In the heart of the business
district before he could find q seat.
RESTAURANT prices are high. But for
the stranger who visits Town 1t Is not
so much a question of observing a
"meatless'' day as it Is the prospect Of
experiencing an 'estless" one. Several
new restaurants are being built and
they are badly needed. Hotel men
who viewed with alarm the fact that
Washington will go dry on November l
are no longer disturbed over this pro-
spective reduction of their profits.
They are getting ready to feed more
people. Any good restaurant here can
make money and will not lack for GUS
toners.
For the first time in its history, street
traffic problems are becoming really
serious. Washington ordinarily Is an
ideal town for automobiles, for it's
streets are broad and the pavement ex-
eellent. Traffic In the business section
has doubled within the last year.
Street accidents have multiplied.
There are thousands of new automo-
blles. The Government has bought
many for the use of its officers and en-
ployees, while hundreds OF the wal
workers who are now located here have
brought in their own cars from other
cities. Parking problems during the
daytime are increasingly difficult to
solve.
For those who must depend on the
street cars for travel there are troubles
of equal magnitude. Almost every
hour of the day is now a rush hour.
In the morning and at night, when the
army of Government employees ia in
transit, the trolleys are packed to suf-
location and even stsnding-room is at
a premium. This is a new state Of
affairs for Washington. To add to the
problem. many streets are torn up for
the laying Of new rails and new pave
ment, a fact that not only hampers the
operation of the street cars, but Of the
automobiles as well.
The other day the Eagle correspon-
dent wanted TO send an express pack
age to New York. He was informed
by the Adams company that it would
probably be seven or eight days In
transit, and he used the mail as an al
tentative. Express and freightdelsys
are extraordinary, due chiefly to Gov
eminent use of the rail ways for trans
porting troops and supplies aud to the
fact that occasional embargoes are laid
upon all other business. Railroads are
shutting down on the tourist business
and are discouraging the pleasure-see-
ker in every way. There is simply NJ
room at the national capital for the
person who is mot com PEELED TO come
here on business.

TWENTIETH CENTURY
RARRARISM.

History records no more frightful
instances of barbarisms than has been
recorded in the annals of this war
We have read of the excuses of fam
atheism i'm the Dark Ages and the
more recent savagery of nations over
which ignorance and superstition held
sway, but il is left to the Prussians in
this enlightened centrury to outstrip
them all in infamy. German iniquity
IS of the kind that might be called
scientific IL It were not that associat-
ing science with the most heinous
might discredit that priceless agency
for good. but the studied system of
frightfulness which the Germans in
augurated at Liege in 1914 and cele-
hrated Friday night by bombing a
hospital in France is illustrative of
the evil propensity of perverted pow
ors. In civilized countries it has
heretofore been the custom to regard
hospitals as immune from attack in
war times. The common dictates of
humanity required it, Every civilized
country except the Germans have,
when engaged in hostilities, yielded
to the better nature of mankind and
refrained from turning their murder
Gus guns upon the sick and wounded
and their nurses.

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE.

Is choosing the public school
teachers whose work for the year has
lust begun. the biggest problem is
al@ass 10 and the people who have
the GIT Of discipline, says the Freder-
lex news. This does not mean per-
functory submission to authority,
where The children are sufficiently
scared to keep quite. 1t means
condition where the pupils Loyalty
take hold to their work and where
they feel responsibility for the con-
ditlon OF the school
In the old days, things never set
tied down in a school until the mat
ter 81 authority had been firmly set
tied. In the back woods districts
many we're the unfortunate pedagogs
who were dumped out of doors in the
bushes by the big boys. When the
school board secured a more athletic
instructor, quiet reigned and the pu-
pills worked as docily as old sheep.
In a more refined way the same
thing is tried out everywhere. In
subordinate children work their little
tricks, not because the tricks are es-
senialIy interesting, but they want to
find out just how far they can safely
go. II the teacher is fiabby, the in
genuity OF the children is amazing in
deyising means for promoting an
archy and irritating the school
marin
The spirit OF loyalty TO the school
and It's work can not be drilled into
children by punishment or nagging
IL takes knowledge Of the child mind
and the arguments that appeal to it.
There are teachers who have no par
ticularly magnetic personality, but
somehow they succeed in making the
children feel that they want to study
They arouse the spirit of competi-
ton. and make the youngsters asham-
cd TO fall behind. They stir the
spirit OF ambition, and make a boy
SEQ that il he wants TO get higher in
life he must do some work, A teach
er that has these gifts is prize not
TO be parted with readily, Too many
communities lose such teachers from
being too parsimonious TO give small
advances IN salary II is poor policy
10 let any teacher 30 who has the
gift OF inspiring youthful enthusiasm.
