BUYER SPECIALIzES
N.WOOLEN GOODS
Woodward & Lothrop's Display In
cludes Homespun Garments.

b Woodward & Lothrop's buyer of
wooden goods took no chances on his
stock for the autumn and winter, and
brought on a stock of substantial
aCampbelfs hair-homespun for gen.
eral utility street suits for women
during war days when economy is
necessary. Royal blue, shade be-
tween a taupe and brown, and reseda
green are the main colors, and in the
material itself are great possibilities
for the tailor Navy blue serge, says
the buyer is taking its place for at
least one " always-ready" frock in
every woman's wardrobe, while the
softest broadcloths are shown for
dressier wear. Burella cloth and the
zibalines are also there in quantity,
the latter much used for separate
coats.
In the fur departments are the can
teen muffs. quite aptly named for war
days, and while loosing a bit of the
form in the longer furs of which they
are fashioned, yet carry out the shape
to perfection. They are the keynote
of style in the entire fur department.
Another suggestion OF war days are
the "do-your-Dit bags" fashioned ex-
actly as a woman who wishes to do
her bit would have them. Generous
bags, with numerous inside pockets.
and quite large enough to accommo-
date the knitting or even a pair of
pajamas or some one of the many
garments women are now making for
the soldiers, and enabling the worker
to carry her materials from place TO
| place in seemly manner.
In the suit and dress department
the same conservative styles obtain as
in the dress goods department. most
of the autumn showing of suits being
severely plain. relieved, however, by
pockets, well-chosen buttons and the
small finishing which suggests ele-
| gance. The blouses also form a well
chosen stock and show the advance
styles in high collars and jabot effect.
Those OF Georgette crepe are given
weight by the addition of taffeta on
| collar. cuffs and sometimes down the
| center plait, while touches of hand
embroidery and amber or colored glass
| buttons give originality.

WINTER COMFORTS
ARE MOSES FEATURE
Blankets and Wooden Coverings
Predominate in New Stock.

Because it is "pull-up-the-covers"
time. ones mind naturally turns to
w B. Moses & Sons great stock,
where blankets and luxurious COM
forts run riot. When one learns of
the vast amount Of wool consumed in
yarns alone, knitted up for the SOL
diers. to say nothing of the wooden
cloths used in their uniforms, and
blankets with which to cover them,
then, indeed, does one wonder where
this big firm secured such a stock
from which the housewife may select.
The wisdom OF the buyer in taking
advantage of the embargo on this ma
terial has much If NOT everything to
do with it, a fact that smaller firms
could not. so masterfully handle.
There are dainty blankets for the
trOusseau Of the wartime bride, wov-
en- with her initials in the colored and
richly satin-bound border, and then
every grade of blanket in quality and
size down to the exquisite crib blank
cts with which to cover the newest
member Of the family. Covers or COM
forts for the brides troUsseau are
made up Of silk or satin. with the
monogram in the center if her taste
so runs, or there are Yeritable rose
and flower gardens in a riot of color,
in plain grounds, out always to match
the furnishing of the rooms.
The carpet mills are making khaki
and other cloth and the wooden mills
are turning out blankets for the SOL
diers. so until the embargo is lifted
it might happen by the middle of Oc-
tOber-nO more blankets can be
bought. No amount of thrift can pro-
duce them for the general public. The
same wartime pressure which caused
Moses buyer of bedding to lay in an
enormous stock also prompted the
head Of the uphOlsteTing department
to anticipate the scarcity of leather
for upholstery by laying in an unusual
stock of fabrics, the best from the de-
signers and weavers' hand.
In marked contrast to the wonderful
display of furniture and the substan-
tiaI things of the home is the gay lit
tie corner on the ground floor, where
under soft electric lights a busy circle
sf women may be found each day,
learning to knit useful things for the
soldiers. OF course the wartime
bride may want to learn a few new
stitches there, too. for her trousseau,
and especially so as no garment,
whether for under or outer wear, is
complete without the elegant touch of
a bit of handwork. II so. she, too,
may be found in Moses cozy corner.

GARFINKLE'S STYLES
ATTRACT ATTENTION
Autumn Showing of F Street Firm
Is Extremely Popular.

Garfnkle's styles are undoubtedly
the most advanced to be seen along
r street and attractive in their au-
tumn showing in street suits are
the invariably three-quarter coats
with fewer buttons, more nearly
tailored collars and a tendency to
conservative colors; the browns
running from a rich chestnut to
dark seal; many OF the intervening
shades being trimmed with wide
beaver collars and cuffs, and the
livelier colors shading to claret.
Normal or nearly normal waist
lines mark the GarnnKIe coats, the
detached belts being placed barely
above the waist line.
Wonderfully rich are the long fur
scarfs. which mark the fall and
winter style in furs, and much more
becoming to the average woman than
the short. square pieces of last sea-
son. These wraps are made of ko-
linsky. beaver. seal. mole and the
shorter furs, and the Innings are
elegant but durable. or course. il
the hat wears a fur trimming,
which nearly all smart hats will do
later in the season, il must match
the scarf. as must also the square
fur which forms the latest muff.
The bag to match the dress and the
fur trimming on it to match the
scarf is the latest edict seen at
Garfinkle's
While the blouses or Georgette
crepe and chiffon show some mark
ed changes in both the styles OF
collars and establishment, it is the
new mOdish neckwear which is
more attractive. The soft stock
with full jabot OF Georgette. null.
chiffon or other soft material. often
trimmed with lace or embroidery,
will form an indispensable adjunct
to the smart street suits shown on
other floors of the store.

Def KAISERISM!
Reichstag DfscussesVOting Lack
of Confidence in Cabinet.
See HOhenzOllerns Stalking
Empire To Save Own Scalps.
BY j. w. t. MASON.

Amsterdam, Oct 9.-The reichstag
main committee this afternoon reject
ed the Socialists motion for eensure
of Vice Chancellor Helfferich on ac-
count of Helfferich's refusal to submit
to interpretations at Saturdays reichs-
tag meeting.
New York, Oct 9.-The German
reichstag is on the verge of making its
first defiance of kaiserism.
Reports that the majority reichstag
parties are contemplating a vote of
lack of confidence in the cabinet indi-
cate that the most critical internal
crisis of the War>may be approaching.
Doctor Helfferich is the kaiser's chief
spokesman in the government and,
more than any other statesman, had
encoura ged the Germans TO continue
the war in expectation of a sufficient
ly large indemnity TO pay the entire
| cost of the conflict. Any attack upon
Relfferich is by inference an attack
upon the HOhenzollerns.
A vote of lack of confidence in the
kaiser's cabinet has no meaning I'M
der the German constitution. because
the ministers are responsible to the
kaiser and not to the reichstag. But
the moral effect of such a vote COM
| ing at this time might be momentous
1t would be in effect a demand by the
rcichstag for the establishment OF a
democratic ministry. responsible to
the elected representatives of the
people. .
To Save Autocracy.
Indications thus are beginning to
point to a dawning realiza ton in the
reichstag that the kaiser is contiQu-
ing the war for the purpose of trying
to save ali he can of his autocratic
power. When this conviction becomes
sufficiently strong in Germany, the
! Hohenzollerns will be forced to elm
| mate themselves from any part in the
future government of the empire they
| have brought SO near to ruin.
AT the same time by no possibility
can the reichstag be left to do this
work of characterization alone. The
major part of the work must be done
| by the armies of the allies and in par
| ticular by the military efforts of the
| United States. Kaiserism can resist
| the reichstag if it can bring home a
! victory or even a draw. The reichS-
! tags democratic ambition can be.d
veloped only if America and the air
| lies show conclusively that the longer
the war continues the more disastrous
will be the result for German auto
cracy. When that proposition be-
/ comes wholly self-evident to Ger
many, the Hohenzollern effort to sac
rifice the German empire to the Ho-
henzollern family pride will be
| brought to an end.
