An Attractive Idea.

The woman who has highly developed
artistic tastes has always regarded the
French idea of saving the deep decol-
letage for exceedingly formal occasions
and using a high, transparent drapery
for the theater, small dinners and res
taurants as much better way to dress.
Paquin, along with the other great de-
signers has always held that women
should have several gowns made of fine
materials and brilliantly executed. with
bodices that resemble those used for the
afternoon.
Paquin has carried out this idea in a
gown which she has sent to this coun-
try and upon which a large number of
women have looked with appreciation,
because of the fact that it can be used
for all kinds of service. instead of be-
ing limited to the formal evening occa-
sion.
1t is of white mousseline over rose
colored satin and is embroidered in sill
Yer threads. The design is slashing
bit of Chinese work, and the mousseline
itself is of a weave almost as transpar-
ent as net The skirt of the frock is
somewhat short, with the fiat train of
the embroidered mousseline dropping
at the back. The bodice reaches to the
collar bones and is transparent above
band of silver embroidery that runs
around the figure at the bust The
sleeves are part of a cape of the plain
mousseline which drops to the hem of
the gown. Armholes are outlined with
silver thread. and the material is full
enough to be thrown over the arms as
the wearer wishes.

ECONOMY THE SLOGAN
OF D. c. HOUSEWIVES
Washington Hostesses Leading in
Campaign to Get Pledges for Simple
Meals and Meatless Days.

Domestic economy is the watchword
in the very best homes in Washington
today. responsive to the appeal made
by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. the wives of
cabinet members and a committee of
prominent social leaders.
Hostesses of the National Capital
have taken enthusiastically to the
pledge campaign which called for
promises to serve no meal of more
than three courses and to observe one
meatless day week.
From all the social sets, from the
homes of members of the cabinet. of
United States senators and other mem
bers of Congress. from wives of army
and navy officers as well as the resi-
dent social leaders have come signed
pledges
Because the committee which started
this movement wish to make it a great
popular movement they would be glad
to have any woman in Washington who
cares to join in this economy propa-
gands and to live up to the pledge send
in their names for enrolment. Mrs
Garrison McClntock, 1927 18th street.
has consented to act as secretary and
TO keep the lists of all who pledge
economy as outlined by the committee.

By Frederic J. Haskin.

One of the unexpected little short
ages that developed under the enor-
nous demands for war material of the
last three years was a lack of wood for
gun stocks. You cannot make good
rife stock out of any kind of wood:
there are only few woods that will
do. and the very best of all is American
walnut.
There was not enough seasoned
American walnut to meet the demand
A rifle lasts only month on the war
front and the modern rife has the

the rife factories for walnut Plenty
of green walnut was to be had. but
very little seasoned. What was need
ed was man who could devise. a
process for seasoning walnut in few
days or weeks, instead of waiting on
nature to do it in long months. The

declared cotton contra band. it is almost
certain that the Teutons have not got
enough cotton to use for this purpose,
ana Just what they are using IN its
place is n subject OF endless speculs- ~
tion. Many British scientists think
they are using the cellulose OF wood.
but others hold that the process pre-
sents so many difficulties that it Is
practically impossible. 4
Many minor uses are found for wood

worked out a process for kiln-drying

Take the matter of co-called naval

1929 the American Congress appro-
priatcd 100000 TO buy up a timber re-

val construction. The timber bought
was live oak. which was then the most

1915 Henry S. Graves. chief forester OF
the United States, remarked that the
Congress would hare done better to To-
