pajama, such as that shown in the

is no possibility Of the uncomfortable
separation of coat and pants, or of a
drawstring tied too tightly about the
waist for real comfort
The one-piece garment may be made
comfortably loose and dressed up with

distinction
The garment shown in the sketch is
made of light-weieht washahIe satin
trimmed with ruffies and puffings Of
self-fabric and inset bands of lace.

To make this garment feur yards of
material thirty-six inches wide will be
required. The cut of it is simple. The
waist may be run with ribbon or an
elastic may be used instead If pre-

FASHIONS

Now that the bifurcated garment has
taken such a strong hold on the fem
mime fancy a girl may. if she wishes,
abandon skirts during the whole of the
twenty-four hours, and still be cor
rectly appareled for each and every
occasion.
She begins the day, of course, in
neglige, consisting of Turkish trou-
sers with coat of silk or lace draped
over them. After breakfast and when
the morning may be said to be really
wells under way, the truly patriotic
young person will don her garden cos
tune of overalls and smock and take
a hand at potato cultivation.
Maybe she'll hoe beans or hunt cab
bage worms or train the tomato vines.
In any event, she will be transformed
from a useless flower into the girl
with the hoe, and her bifurcated gar
ment will be useful as well as becom-
ing.
Perhaps she will go motor boating in
the afternoon attired in waterproof
suit or trousers and coat, or maybe

BEADED FLOWERS ON EVENING GOWNS.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence of The sta.
NEW YORK. May 23.-When the de-
signers went to the Indians for inspira- :
ton in the making of colored patterns on
fabrics, for the stripes in silks. for the
beading on hats and handbags, and even
on parasols. ii was foregone conclusion
that beaded flowers or primitive designs
in geometrical ShapingS, would appear
on our clothes.
The American Indian has not been be-
hiEd the rest of his race from South
America to Alaska in the weaving out OF
: intensely lovely patterns in color. and
yet, it is only within the last few months
that his work has been found inspiring
TO those who are constantly on the look
out for new and attention compelling
things in apparel
Even now, the designers went round
Robin Hoods barn to get to the work
found so plentifully in the west. The
East Indians, the Peruvians, the Guate-
malans, the Arabs were each used as
founts of inspiration. before the original
Americans were thought of. Down in
Santa Fe, in Lower California, in New
Mexico were as many designs. as many
shadngs of brilliant and primary colors
as could be found in Egypt We were
used to Indian work. that was all. We
thought we had exhausted it in the things
we bought on the train going west. and
in the baskets that flooded the tourists
countries in the northwest.
But when beading came into fashion
along with all the quality of needlework
that the war and the revival of the
Moyen-age demanded we turned to our
own Indian patterns as foundation for
our ornamental work.
The French workers got there before
us. but it is doubtful if they had the work
of the American Indian before their
minds or eyes when they began the bead
patterns to put on gowns as substi-
tute for embroidery. Any Indian work
will do. for there Is an amazing similarity
between the ideas and workmanship of all
these primitive races. The figures in the
prehistoric caves of the Somme, where the
battle of civilization is being fought out
and the caves found in southwest Amerf-
ca. are much the same The string
figures, you know. of the Indians Of South
America and those of farthest Alaska are
identical.
What the French found in books. there
fore. we can find scattered over our land
from Carlisle to California.
Beading on Evening Gowns.
The woman who delights to adorn her
clothes with pieces of her own needle
work. will like the idea of spending leis-
ure time in beading gorgeous flowers to
place on satin or tulle frock to serve
for whatever gayety she allows herself
this summer.
Even if the war rolls on, you know, we
must buy whatever our money permits,
especially in clothes, in order that thou
sands of women and children will not be
thrown on charity. 1t is poor patriotism
that will guard dollars for banks to invest
while city charities will have the burden
of the unemployed thrown on their shoul-
ders. 1t was great Frehch f1nancier,
who. in the blacklist hour of French his
tory, advised the rich to give balls that
the poor might not die. This is the
foundation of charity and humanity.

Farmer Browns Boy Sees In
teresting Things.

Flat on his stomach on top of high
rock far back in the Old Pasture law
Farmer Browns boy chuckling to him
self. but all the time taking the great
est care not to chuckle aloud. He was
chuckling to think that he had been
clever enough to fool Reddy Fox. Right
down below him was Reddy's home and
with his back to him there sat Reddy
himself looking in the direction he had
last seen Farmer Browns boy. For a
long time he sat there without moving,
Then 1t was clear that he had made up
his mind that Farmer Browns boy had
really gone. for he turned to his door
way and barked softly. Almost at once
Mrs. Reddy came out and sat down be-
side him.
They are talking it over" chuckled
Farmer Browns boy. ''They are trying
to decide If all is safe"
Presently Reddy trotted out of sight.
He was going hunting. Mrs Reddy
looked this way and that way and sniff
ed the air to make sure that all was
safe, and then barked softly. Out tum-
bled the four little foxes and began to
play just as little human children do
when they have been shut in the house
Farmer Browns boy was sure that he
never before had seen such cute and
funny youngsters anywhere. After they
had romped and tumbled over each
other for a while their mother called
them to her. Farmer Browns boy
wished he could hear what she was say
ing to them. He was sure she was tell
ing them something because of the
funny way they put their heads to one
side and tried to look very wise. Then

WAR USED TO RAISE PRICES
CHICAGO FEDERAL GRAND JURY
MAKES DIRECT CHARGE.
Report, Following Investigation Last
ing Several Weeks, Declares Some
Dealers Are Exploiting.

Chicago, July 5.-Exploitat;on Of
war conditions to raise food prices to
consumers, "for the benefit of the few
who are handling food products" has
been reported by the federal grand
jury after an investigation of several
weeks.
The Elgin board of trade, where are
throughout the country, received espe-
cial attention from the grand jury,
which pointed out that the board holds
only one 15-minute session each week.
The report urged legislation to pro-
hibit cold storage companies from lend
ing large amounts on perishable food
products in warehouses, which the
grand jury said leads to speculation
and higher prices. Reports under
oath to the government on the
amounts of food in cold storage was
recommended.
Among documents obtained by the
grand jury were two circulars sent by
two wholesale food dealers to jobbers
and statesmen. One of these said:
Raise your prices now on every
thing we have advised you will ad-
vance. You can get the extra price
this week as we'll as next"
Another circular said:
"Our customers have very unusual
profits within their grasp at this mo-
ment. Will they throw them away or
tuck them away?"

be met in stamping out the spy evil.
, While It is stated that operatives Of

marine insurance companies here,
knew details Of the sailing of Perish
ing's troops.
"A censorship which will prevent
the dispatching of a cable message
or the sending of letter during
troop movement is contemplated by
the government to protect American
forces on the seas.
3-Secretaries Lansing, Baker and
Daniels and George Creel held long
conference on details of this censor
ship. It will cover both outgoing
and incoming messages and authority
may be asked of Congress to make it
effective.
Congress to Act.
4-Congress on it's own initiative is
preparing to act to end the spy
menace.
5-How information obtained by
spies here can be transmitted by way
of Mexico was definitely known.
GA great central intelligence
bureau in which every secret agency
of the government will report, is be-
ing worked out. It will be the main
headquarters of all American secret
services and will not be surpassed by
even the German bureau at Berlin.
Legislation was discussed to give
the President power to isolate the
United States by forbidding any per-
son to leave the country or send mes
sages during troop movements.

Food conditions in France are, If

there is plenty would be exaggerating.

understanding of the situation.

No hatred is shown by our troops to
the German war prisoners, only pity.
But the woes Of France are invoking
a deep-rooted ire against the Kaiser.
Our men seem to grasp what they are
fighting for, and are resolved to tri-

Our casualties will be heavy. The
