Each was under six tribuni or "chief

The century originally contained 100

! featured for two months; and in using
 the word Indian one means the dark
 skinned races of all nations and all times.
 The straight, embroidered panels hang-
 ing at the back and front of the figure,
 have been adopted from this race. The | lavish embroidery which covers the sur
 face of these panels. is also taken from
 Indian relics.
 | Miles of braid will be used this winter.
 One feels that 1t must have been bought | In the same stupendous quantities as | wire has been bought by those engaged
 on the battlefelds, and some of the
 braid designs used on the new gowns are
 as complicated and confused as the
 barbed wire trench defenses which we
 see in the moving pictures of the war. l Silk and mohair braid will also be used.
 Jackets have either one of these brands
 of braid placed around them from bust | to hips, to give corsetlet effect. Skirts ! are banded with wide and narrow braid. Sleeves are finished with it at wrist and armhole. High collars and pockets are made of the extra wide pieces of braid. l There evidently has not been any strict
 decision among the French designers as | to where the waistline will be placed Each house exploits waistline of its
 own. There are narrow sashes that place
 1t at the hips; there are corselet skirts | that place 1t almost as high as Josephine 1 considered fashionable; there are jackets that shape their seams into the normal
 waistline, thereby paying a tribute to nature.
 PAUL POIRETS COLLECTION Paul Poiret has reopened his house and ! insists that woman's dress must be suited ! to the drastic needs and somber moods l of the hour One Is not quite sure that Poiret chastened and made sad will be | himself Yet, now that he has found an
 abiding place on the stage, he Is quite willing to exploit simple clothes for those out of theatrical life
 His new models are excellent. Natural- ly. he uses the oriental line, for he would go against all his artistic convictions if he changed 1t. He uses black, blue and white velvet in lavish manner. He also clings fast to his wonderful tones of red,
 some of which he invented. He has brought back the broad, striped fabrics of the French Revolution. He exploits the triangle design of the primitive races, when he wishes to elaborate a somber l surface.
 Several of the best topcoats have un-
 usually large sleeves placed in low arm holes. Neither of these features con- | tribute to the slmness of the accepted
 silhouette, yet they are considered very good because they're comfortable. The difficulty in the smart topcoats of

New American Enfield Rifle

 In order to obtain sufficient number of rifles with which to arm the new United States army in as short time as possible, the war department has de- cfdnd to supplement it's supply of Spring fields with a modification of the English Enfield rifle, which is being manufac- tured in this country in large quantities for the British government
 The operating mechanism of the new rifle, while differing in general design, has the same functioning features as the Springfield; that is to say, operation of magazine, loading and extracting, TO- tating motion of bolt and side election. The barrel Is made of the same specifi- cations as the Springfield with the excep- ton that 1t is two inches longer than that of the Springfield, which measures 23.79 inches

 Just one application doubles the beauty of your hair. besides 1t tmme- diately dissolves every particle of dan druff; you cannot have nice. heavy, healthy hair if you have dandruff.

There comes time in every woman life when she wants fashions in para graphs, or, probably. a better way to nit it is that she wants her news cap suled so that she can digest 1t In the quickest and easiest manner
 These are stirring times In the world of buying and selling women's apparel. Contrary to all the expectations Of the pessimists and the croaking of the gloomy prophets there Is a scramble for enough merchandise to sell to the women on this continent at this moment. They have money: they want new clothes; Paris has sent alluring costumery quite n keeping with our spirit of wartime dressing the shops are crowded, and the bulk of the buying has gone to the peo- pie who offer clothes that are not ec- centric or overpriced
 When fashions are slack, women have time to read about them in detail when they are being rushed across the stage but now, as in an exciting movie, there is no time for comment or philosophy for theory or observation. News! Give us newsy' is what tlre people cry who
  buy.
 This is no time, therefore, to dwell upon one subject and embroider it bit Tn an attempt to catch woman's fancy There Is so much to say that there IS not half enough space in which to say It.
 A colossal cornucopia of fashions has -heen shaken out over the heads of wom- en. and one is catching as one can catch here and there. So much is changed, so much that is new is offered, so vast variety of stimulating and enlivening fashions have fallen from the skies, as it were, that women, ever alert for in teresting clothes at this season of the year, are asking thousand questions and adding more before these are answered.
 Under this stimulus, the one who re- ports fashions must try to meet the sit uation by turning out the news in that old, old form of journalistic expression known as the reporters notebook. After a while affairs will simmer down. They X Will establish themselves on sound ba- sis and probably remain on that founda- ton until next February. However, there 7 is no hope for calm at this moment, and
 
 the hour in paragraphs. They cover the situation as far as it goes.
 HIGH COLLARS IN BLOUSES
 The strongest evidence that women will wear high collars in the winter is that they are appearing in the cheap, ready to-wear blouses. Some of these are boned and fit the neck Others have ruffle at the top of the high edge. Neither style K is as attractive as the one that flares at the top in the French fashion and envelopes the flesh at the top of the neck instead of pushing 1t up.
 The strong desire shown by the great designers Is to follow the lines of the figure in all gowns. This eliminates pet ticoats in a large measure. When they are worn, they must be exceedingly slim and of soft material.
