THE PRICE OF INTRIGUE

~ NE point made apparent
W by President Wilson's
address to congress
Monday evening is that he be-
came eXasperated beyond en-
durance by German intrigue
in this country. While pro-
Tossing the greatest friendship
Tor America and while enjoy
ing a policy of strict neutral
I ity from our government the
imperial government resorted
to almost every known device
to carry on their propaganda
in the United States. There
was seemingly no limit to their
outrageous program. They
even plotted to lure Mexico
and Japan into an invasion OF
our western states with q view
to permanent occupation Os
American territory.
Under such circumstances
the president has been iust1-
fled in refusing to place con-
fidence in any promises or pro-
fessions from Berlin. A direct
and open foe is less dangerous
than a slippery and hypocri-
teal one who while whispering
words of peace and friendship |
may be planning to stab you
in the back. Germany is now !
paying the price of deceit and |
trickery Just as an individual |
generally does who resorts to
such practices. Honest deal
ing is not only the pest but it
is the safest policy. Those
who deal in injustice and chi
canery may prosper for a time
but in the end their multiplied
enemies assay them at their
true worth and downfall is
certain.
The alignment of the great
est nation of the world in war
fare against the kaiser's en-
pire may be charged very
largely to German intrigue.

There is no more fashionable com bination than Georgcttc and satin and this gown shows it most effect iyely handled. The blouse, sleeves and the full side portions of the skirt are made of the crepe, the trimming on the vcstce, the box plaitcd panels of the skirt and the folds on he sides arc made of the charmcusc. The color IS a soft gray and white satin makes the NcStcC, and collar, while the fur is Chinchilla squirrel. The combination is a most attractive one. White is always lovely with gray and the squirrel suits the ma terial perfectly well. One and all We have learned to recognize the beauty achieved by the combination of tur and such materials as clGpe, chiffon and the like, while the satn gives just enough weight to mean that the gown IS practical as well as hand. some. 1t could, of course, be made of different materials and varlcd Tn many different ways. (harneusc could be used for the under skirt and for the under blouse with Gcorgcttc crepe for the blouse and the collar with perhaps little bit of Paisley silk or satin for the trimming on the vcstee. Charmcuse is quite soft enough to be gathered and made full and the charmcusc gown IS very fashionable and will per lhaps be bit more practical than the thin crepe but both are fashionable and you are free to take your choice. ihe two gowns would, of course, give entirely different effects but the same pat tern serves for both. The blouse without the collar and trimming on the vestce is just plain one, the back of which is extended to give a yoke effect at the front. If you do not like the fancy sleeves you can make them in belt shape or gather them into straight deep cuffs.
 For the medium size the blouse will require, i yards of material 27 inches wide, , ? yards 50, 2 1s yards 44 with $i of a yard 50 inches wide for the collar and vestcc and $4 yard }" inches wide for the trimming and the cuffs, 312 yards of fur banding.

No girl could ask smarter, more attractive coat than this one. It gives all the newest features and at the same time it is absolutely warm and comfortable. On cold days, the collar can be buttoncd up closely about the throat and on mild days it can be rolled open. It is really & very simple lttle coat. At the front and back body and skirt portions are cut together but the side portions of the skirt are circular and separate and arc joined to the body so providing extra fn1ncss. The pretty shaped belt conceals the seams. Here, the material is vclours cloth trimmed with fur but there are great many cloaking materials that are liked for girls use. Boli<i ia clcth and burclla cloth sug- gcst thcms dyes at once. Broadcloth is very handsome and always can be used with an intcrlining for greater warmth, velvet and vclveteen and corduroy all are fashionable. The new corduroy that is woven oi silk and cottcn is exceedingly beautiful, while. also, there are a great many fur cloth: that can be utilized. For a very drcssy, dainty sort of Winter coat, white karaiul would be handsome with trimming of blown fur. For a warm coat that is durable, brown karakul could be used. The collar gives just a little hint of the cape while it extends over the shoulders, and everything that suggests the cape is essentially smart this season.
