PERSHING'S PRAISE FOR RED CROSS

Gen Pershing's unqualified endorsement of the American Red Cross in France is gratifying to the society in the United States and those of all classes who are supporting it loyalty and who will be called upon continue to provide it with funds and materials with which to work. It will be pleasant news to the people of Alaska who have responded so willingly and so literally the calls for money. Southeastern Alaska has been particularly generous in it's support, Gastneau channel communities alone having given more than $10000.

-T Is often said that the fashion ex-
perts dwell too much upon ilne
and material and are given to
Il ignoring the extraordinary value
of colors.
The charge is true. At least the
truth of 1t dominates the majority OF
dressmaking houses and is present in
the majority Of women's minds. Color
is in reality so vastly important that
1t should rule every department OF
dress There are colorists who over
estimate its value to women, and they
are the ones who actually frighten the
majority into conservatism that
often borders on ugliness.
The trouble with the artists lies in
the fact that they do not seem ~
have an. tenderness or courtesy to-
ward the coloring the woman who is
to wear the garment. They assimi-
late and put into uxtaposition colors
that have extraordinary beauty in
themselves. but when they are placed
next to the human skin, hair an.
eyes. they kill what nature has done.
This is clarifying the artist at the
expense of the woman in a way that
is not fair The gown is predomi-
nant; its beauty draws all eyes, The
woman Is insignificant; the only time
she comes into the question Is when
the observers think how unattractive
she looks in that glorious frock.
Women in the Wrong COIOrs.
There Is no temptation in cvs-
tumery greater than the one offered
by a gown built out OF an exquisite
harmony of colors. 1t appeais ~
every woman but the one who Is
shocked by a thread of scarlet" as
Mrs. stuart puts II in one of her ad-
mira bIp short stores Mind Won. theSo
women who feel that drab colors are
part of the responsibility of life and
who have a traditional and mystic
belief that-the color of the, scarie,
letter used by Hawthorne was in IT.
self an acknowledgment of sin, are
not out of existence. The Puritan
stock lives on, altho ii may be I'm
Montana. Texas or Alaska, insteuo VI
a small New England village
But outside of this well defined
segment of human society that looks
upon scarlet as the color of all that
should not be and upon black and
gray as the colors that spell respecta-
bility, emotional limitations and IN.
straight and narrow path, there are
thousands of women wno are at
tracted to colors as goldfish to water.
They find in the brilliancy of tone a
kind of mental and physical stimula-
ton that the savages probably feel.
So II Is that when the gifted artist
dressmakers, weavers and dyers throw
out to the world bits of colored bait
as our forefathers did to the Indian
when the wanted furs, a large seq
ment of women snap up the, gifts WIN
delight.

year in the most extraordinary man
ner. The old jct mines in England,
which were once worked by the
monks. have now been reopened IN
order to help supply this Nalua Die
commodity to the world of fashion.
France has seen to II that hundreds
of yards of this crystal are faceted
and highly polished. then worked into
brilliant designs. There is nounng
about it that looks like coat of
mall, and the rather trivial designs
of little vines and leaves, which were
once fashionable, are left under the
cobwebs where they were put years
ago.
For instance, the panel of black
tulle and cut jet that drops like n
back curtain behind the figure of a
woman in a black evening gown. is
sumptuously trimmed with Jet roses
or great Egyptian figures that hold
the panel In place by sheer weight of
material used.
Bodices OF cut white jet in daring
and striking designs on white tulle
or even on hydrangea blue tulle,
which Is one of the dominant shades
!, of the hour for the evening. are worn
with skirts Of black, flame red or
white satin.
There are Grecian gowns from
Jenny. made of white satin or crepe
de chine that have all their borders in
wall OF Troy design in white jet.
There are pink satin Algerian skirts
without that ruffle OF lace which once
adorned that kind of garment. which
have bodices of rose colored jet that
looks like the rose quartz which
France used to such an extent for
toilet articles, a half dozen years ago.
Interesting Evening Sleeves.
The separate bodice Is not the onfy
unusual fashion feature in the new
gowns for the evening There are ex-
aggerated peasant bodices that are
part of polonaise, and the sleeves
are merely enlarged brassards that
swing between the shoulder and the
elbow. something on the order OF
Mahomets coffin, without anything
holding them up. There are wide,
jeweled straps in the way of neck
lace that cross the shoulders at tie
back. the bust in front, then resolve
themselves into a kind of waistpanu.
One extremely good gown made in
this fashion, is OF shrimp pink crepe
satin, with overskirt and bodice OF
taupe colored velvet. There is a
band of dull silver lace on the skirt,
and the shoulder straps of silver cloth
are embroidered with rose quartz
beads.

on imitation jewellery has been
raised. and providing the effect Is
good. no one respects you the less be-
cause your jade pendants are made
OF slass.
New Belts.
The belt line OF our new frocks is
rs dive'sifled as one can imagine
There are belts of all degrees Of
width. There is stll the betless
frock that has girdle drawn loosely
about the hips and there are occa-
Sional hgh- wasted belts The tend
ercy In the new frocks Is to empha-
size the normal -wastline, however
and this probably means the persist
encc of the separate belt OF leather
or embroidered silk.
Japanese Influence.
Several OF the French designers are
turning to Japan for much OF their
inspiration this autumn This prob
ably means that we shall see Japa-
nese motifs in embroidery, as much
as we saw them last year, on the new
frocks.
Beads.
one OF the attractive afternoon
frocks shown recently In smart
| shop is of georgette crepe. Long
cylindrical white beads are used as
trimming and they are so embroid-
cred on the skirt as to form perpen-
dtcular lines from belt to hem.

| in Paris will also mingle opposing
colors thru the use of double-faced
materials, but they are evidently de-
termined to get the very best they
can out of the color scheme in dress
by using primitive embroidery against
somber surface.
COlored Crystals Used.
In the new gowfs that we will wear,
there will be as much colored cfystaf
work as tho the crystals will be given
over the evening costumery ana the,
worsteds to the street cloths. Only
a few of the French dressmakers nave
put sequins on clothes, but each and
all have taken up colored beadwork
with enth usiasm and exploited it with
all the frankness of vivid colors that
is part of the American Indian as
well as his southern ancestors.
Lanvin, for example, makes black
satin gown for informal evening wear
that is nothing but n series of straight,
primitive panels falling over q slim,
tight, transparent skirt Of periwinkle
blue chiffon. The edges of this skirt
are beaded and fringed with peri
winkle crystals. in the fashion with
which Americans are peculiarly la-
miliar. The bodice is slimly built, OF
black satin opening over panel front
, Of the blue chiffon and crystals, ana
the long, straight sleeves which are
. not full but hang far away from the
arm like a panel and are negligently
caught into the wrist by a tiny brace
let Of crystal and chiffon, are made
Of the blue weighted with great tas-
sells and fringles Of periwinkle crys-
tails.
Both Premet and Worth nave
adopted a smashing touch Of color OIL
dark gown. in the way Of broau
sash. Premet ties hers in big bow
| at the left side Of the back, giving
| something OF the effect of one
| sided hustle, and Worth takes a
width Of gorgeous material and makes
low waisted girdle Of it on black
or gray gown.
Smoke gray afternoon and evening
| frocks have flaming red, deep blue
and emerald green sashes, slightly be-
low the normal waistline, made Of
chiffon or tulle heavily fringed and
tasseled at the end with colored crys-
! tails.
Entire evening bodices that extenu
high at the back and are cut sGuar,
| in front, age made of tulle covered
with colored crystals. In these bodices
! are the wide Chinese sleeves that
reach to the wrist and are held IN
| by a tiny cuff which does not con-
fine the entire width of the sleeve.
You know that trick; II has be.n III
fashion for several months and Is e,i-
IDENTIFY not TO be relinquished for the
next SIX months.
The Glittcring Back Panel.
| Doeuillet and Callot, as well as
some OF the other important dress
makers, have accentuated the straight
back panel which we once wore be-
fore we adopted the chemise frock.
| This panel hangs in the straign,
Egyptian manner from shoulders TO
heels and glitters with cut jet and
crystals. 1t is always of Transparent
| fabrics. but 1t is never demure or
without brilliant ornaments.
Jet, you know, is to be featured this

Silk as a Necessity

The experts are urging women to
use silk instead OF cotton and wool.
There is bound to be shortage in
both the latter fabrics. In some
places IL is difficult 10 get wooden
Jersey skirts and suits. silk stock
ings will replace cotton ones, for
every fraction OF pound OF cotton
Is NEEDED by the warning countries.
Wool is needed for uniforms; there
fore, women will have to. wear silk.
What was once extravaganza will
now he economy and patriotism. 1t
may be, however, that the govern
ment will forestall this by using up
the silk for its airplanes.

holds up the bodice is OF silver cloth
dressed when the great artists pro-
duce glorious colors as accessories to
gowns of somber tones. Even tneh,
there are a thousand women who go
astray to a dozen who go right.
The helpful artists in dress will ex-
plain to- women, with intelligent pa
tience, that any kind of color can De
managed in costume If it is not
placed next to the skin. 1t is for this
reason, and this alone, that those who
deal in evening gowns have made all
artistic success in choosing the most
difficult color for the skin, If they 81
wish, and then building q bodice Of
tulle or crystals that rests against the
skin of the neck without doing it any
harm.
The fashion which was exploited in
Paris at the August openings anu
which is already In America, of wear
ing a separate evening bodice with a
brilliant skirt, is sure to succeed bo-
cause ii allows woman to indulge
that savage strain in her which is
not quite dead and which calls for
gay colors.
Black panne velvet and tulle, as
we'll as jet, have been the fabrics
chosen for these separate booices
which are put ABOVE Algerian sklrts
of satin in any of the blues, greens,
reds and purples that the skin will
not tolerate.
The accessories which fashion will
spring upon us this month are gor-
geous in coloring. All that need be
said Is that worsted embroidery Is In
high favor. Sometimes, when an art
ist wants to get bit OF brilliant color
into an otherwise demure picture, a
cat playing with balls Of colored wool
is thrown recklessly over the back
ground. and the effect always catches
the eye.
Taking this as the foundation of
the work that is being done by tho
Paris dressmakers, we can build our
selves up into some sort of colorful
picture that will catch the attention
wherever we display ourselves.
A dark blue gown is nothing but
a dark blue gown to those who know
nothing of the possibilities Of COM
bining II with something vivid; but
when, against the midnight sky sur

wooden threads, then the dark blu.
