and the general smart, trig effects that
are distinctly military
The chin strap of Tommy Atkins cap,
has no doubt suggested various adapta-
ton of this mode that one sees worn,
especially by the younger contingent so
far. Later its more general use is sure
as it is most becoming line for older
women.
The Bustle Trend.
Once more we see an inclination to
bunch up draperies below the waist line
at the back of the skirt which is herald
ed as the return of the "bustle''-that
atrocity which some of the older women
can recall-but it is far-cry from the
deformed hunched look of the old time
hustle to the pretty soft drapings that are
shown today. Hip draperies that result
from the hang of the skirt, form pockets,
and attached side draperies, are still very
well endorsed for ornamental frocks and
are often present, dscreetly modified, on
those for general wear.
Materials Modish.
Velvet will have great vogue and satin
is the leader among silks. Dresses of this
fabric in black, blue, neigre and other
dark rich tones being relied upon for the
dress that can be relied upon for almost
any occasion
MORE is exceedingly smart but far from
being so generally useful as the glossy
satin weaves.
In dress, as in millinery, trimming is
usually sparingly used, to emphasize the
lines rather than for mere ornament. If
one is short, bit of striking embroidery
on the end of narrow long sash gives
height. If the other thing is desired, a
patch-pocket at the hip line of material
that holds the eye, gives width and di-
minishes apparent height. The placing
of the trimming is all important-and
the present fad for lining draperies, sling
pockets, or the caught-u p-at-intervals
sort of hem with strongly contrasting
color is an easily copied style that ap-
peals to clever dressers.

of the United States and Of France en-
titled to as much respect as those Of
the mightiest empire. In defense Of
these principles, France is engaged in
death struggle with militant autoc-
racy and ruthless aggression. and 1t is
not surprising to learn that she has
loaned to her allies and to other friend
ly states 100000 francs with which
to further the cause of democracy. 1t
Is In keeping with America s traditions
that since the date on which We for
mally aligned ourselves with France
and her allies in the great struggle, our
Government has lent to France $780,
100000
1t is eminently fitting that America
should now be fighting on French soil
to make the world safe for democracy.
The liberty that America has enjoyed
for 40 years France helped her to
achieve. The swords Of Lafayette and
Rochambeau, aided by the guns of De
Grasse upon the high seas, assisted in
cutting the foreign ties that bound the
American colonies prior to the War for
Independence, and from the private
purse of King Louis himself came the
first loan to Amerca-unsecured and
unconditional-to finance that historic
undertaking. 1t was with entire just
tice that Washington wrote to Rocham-
