 ASKED BY WILSON

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 22.- With desultory rioting still taking place in many cities, today Senator Lewis in the Senate offered an ad- ministrative amendment to the Re- venue Bill today.
 This is the most, sweeping power could be asked for. It enables President Wilson to seize foodstuffs held for unjust increases in prices and empowers him to resell the goods to persons needing the neces- saries at prices which are to be de- termined by the government. The

Ansularity Must Be Rubbed OFF.

The pebble in the brook grows round
and smooth because it is constantly
rubbing against the rock and sands
and others of its kind. So it is with
life. Most of us have that which must
be rubbed off. We are angular in
ideas as well as conduct. Taking the
angles OF is a humiliating process, and
most people rebel before it rightly be-
gins. To bring out the luster of the
diamond 1t has to be cut. That, too, is
tedious process. And so must it be

metrical. The best way is to go right

FuRoRE FOR JABoTs.

ties in the remodeling of gowns by
combining materials that the amateur
s apt to try little original designing.
But safety lies in copying the models
in afternoon frocks turned out by ex-
pert designers, when gowns are to be
remodeled.
Everything else in neckwear is
more or less eclipsed by the vogue of
the jabot which amounts, just now, to
furore. Snowy heaps of net and lace,
fashioned into every variety of jabot,
happen in all parts of the dry goods
stores, and each is center of attrac-
ton for crowd of absorbingly inter
ested women, otherwise the regular
neckwear section would be overwhelm-
ed. 1t doesn't take any salesmanship
to sell jabots, they sell themselves, and
all the merchant has to do is to take
the money-and keep up the supply.
This pretty madness on the part of
women promises to outlast the sum
mer and the jabot is so altogether clas-
sy and pretty that 1t should have
long popularity. With this in mind
we can be reconciled to the rather ex-
travagan' prices that are asked for
The Colorado statesman., 1917-06-02

A special dispensation from the god
dess of fashion, in the interest of thrift
ty women, lies In the present vogue for
two or more fabrics in one gown. In
all the array of pretty frocks for after
noon wear-or any other dressy wear.
for that matter-there are hardly any
that are fashioned of just one mate
rial. If the mission of gown is full
filed by merely looking well, 1t is made
of two or more materials, or of two
patterns in one material.
Thrift is mark of good breeding
In these times. Now, when the re-
lources of this country are about to be
put to the test, women must be willing
TO do with less so that others, who
iced, may have more.
But 1t Is no great hardship to do
without a new frock If an old one can
be remodeled into II thing of beauty.
The gown shown in the picture offers
u good suggestion for remOdeling be-
cause the overbodice and sleeves are
made of georgette crepe, and worn
with silk skirt and underbodce. This
Jrerbodice bears all the evidences of
being strictly up-to-date with its wide
tucks, long sleeves and its big cape
collar of white crepe. A small triangle
Of white crepe Is set in the sleeves at
The wrist.
A new bodice of this kind simply ef
faces the memory of the dress it used
to be and makes this into dress of
today. new finishing touch appears
In the neck ribbon and tassel which
add the final charm to a frock that
can't help proving satisfaction to its
g-earer. There are so many possibih-

an accessory whose only mission In
life is being good to look at. 1t takes
Il good grade of net, good lace and
good work to make a successful jabot,
that is, one that will stand laundering.
For the jabot is nothing if not imma-
culate as to freshness and daintiness.
Net and net combined with lace
make the three pretty examples of the
iabot shown in the picture. One con-
soling thing about them Is that they
are very easy to make and just as
easy to keep clean. The jabot at the
left may be made of square of net
with one corner cut off and gathered
into the stock, which is straight band
of the net. Filet lace is used for edg-
ing the jabot and for the narrow turn
over on the stock and hemstitchinS
finishes its lower edge.
A wider silk filet, set to long piece
of net on the ends and one edge
makes the center jabot with a stock
of the same lace and net. Lace is left
out of the tailored jabot at the right
and tucks, with hemstitching, make its
elegant decoration.

The Successful Combination.

Because figured fabrics are to be so
much in fashion, it is wise that every
woman should remember that the plain
material is the essential foundation on
which figures should rest. A garment
of any kind which is nothing but
splash of twists and lines and curves
is a very poor garment indeed. Every
woman should take it to heart that
figured fabrics are meant for COM
bination with plain fabrics. and that

the best sellers, but novelty cottons in
printed designs suggestive of the pop
ular silks are in fair demand, as also
are cottons in polka-dot patterns and
in dainty stripes, plaids and checks.
Combinations of fancy and plain ma
terials appear in some of the novelty
skirts, the plain fabric being used for
bands, belts or pockets or vice versa.
There has been a fair demand for
washable satin skirts, as well as for
street skirts in novelty taffeta in dark
