have the cooperation and active as- sistance of the greatest scientists in France, England, Italy, Russia and other countries that are either allies or neutrals. The detailed plans for this great undertaking were begun when it became apparent that America must enter the war. The chief of the medical department of the United States army saw the wonderful op- portunity which presented itself and acted with the promptness that made ] him a victor in his battle with the great killer" of the tropics. The war l is bringing together an army of phy- l sicians bigger than the forces of fight l ing men employed in former conflicts. | This army will attack, not only the scourgus that have been in the lime light but also the devastating venereal l diseases to which a vast majority Of l physicians, influenced by the once uni versal spirit of prudery, have closed ] their eyes. Three years of war have
 done more to develop aerial naviga-
 tion than centuries of peace. It is the belief of those familiar with the Cor
 gas plans that the coming months will | give an equally effective impetus to | the science of medicine.

and five inches below at the back or the front.
 Each designer uses her own pleas ure in making the dip. Drecoll, for example, is the sponsor of the corslet that dips downward in the back and rides upward in the front and Jenny is the sponsor of the corslet that does just the opposite thing.
 The woman( who needs bit of waistline defined, but who cannot stand the swathing, Slavic girdle, has been catered to by Cheruit, Jenny and Doeuillet in the use of tiny belt of another fabric and sometimes of an- other color. This cravat belt appears in groups of two or three, or singly. It does not pull the corslet in an inch narrower than it's own width; 1t merely defines large waistline.
 Lanvin, and many others who took up the American Indian motifs in dress for this season. have advanced small beaded belt which may De bought at the shops and attached to a corslet when desired.

middle of the back or the middle of the front. but this is a different type of fashion and it is taken from moro primitive days.
 Another interesting phase of fash ion that is passing before our eyes at this time in a revolt against the uni versal type of three quarter coat which the shops brought out in great numbers and offered to the public with such forecful persuasion earlier in the season. There was no fullness in this coat. It was straight-up- and-down garment cut in three pieces, with a flat back and single breasted fastening.
 It is against this type of coat that the women have revolted. They do not like the line. When they buy the coat ready to wear, they insist that the tailor cut off six inches from It's hem in order to bring it up to grace full length.
 It is not easy to say why there was such sharp distinction drawn be- tween the exclusive and high priced tailored suits and the majority of tHooC that oOiu lIOiH SoV tO Poo. AHS rank and file of women could not give ss5 for a suit. so that price in itself Justified a coat of the newest type, but as a rule it did not bring it. One had to go to the tailors who charged well over $100 to get the type of jacket that was considered smart by Paris and was adopted by the well drossed women in this country. We took the coat that had been created by Bernard in Paris and shipped over to this country early in August and we copied it by the thousands. It is one of these thousands that you are asked to buy wherever you enter a
 shop aow for your winter coat suit

into the surface of the skirt and drips down into the cascades that run be- low the knees at each side.
 The entire dressmalling world of fashion When you look at all the new gowns that smart women appear in, and when you gaze at the top win dows to try to choose the froek you would like to wear, you may notice that a common thread of idea runs through them all in this uplifted line in the front of the skirt.
 This trick, as you remember, is not new to the twentieth century It be- longs to the days out of which Goethe crea ted Faust. Throughout the six teenth and seventeenth centuries there was a disposition to drag the clothes up in the front and tie them to loopings and drapery below the waistline by running a cord under the fullness
 It looks as though a revival of this fashion were upon us. The skirts are dragged up so definitely in front either by the cut of the hem or by the placement of the lace or fur, that we have become accustomed watching for that upward tild in every new frock that appears. The house of Callot has always tilted the movement of her skirt at it's hem upward in the

the hustle is nothing more than hideous
 word for bit of soft drapery arranged to break the tight and often inartistic line across the figure at the end of the spine. The drapery is the saving grace on certain types of broad, stout figures. It may be almost impossible to believe that among this race of flat hipped, long limbed, slim chester, big waisted Ameri- can women, which the last 10 years have produced there are still women, and many of them, who have what is called the ancient figure Of course, it is not
 the ancient figure at all, for that IS the new figure to which all modernists as- pire, but what the dressmakers mean by the phrase is the 1880 figure which, has
 never been controlled or suppressed or even treated with contempt by certain
 segment of American women. Chests out,
 stomachs in, hips rounded and waists frightened is the artificial figure that was stamped upon three generations of Ameri- can women and has not entirely died out.
 Strange to say, it is what the men still call fine figure. These males scream l against the corruption of the corset and
 all other Iamentable methods of artificial | ity, and yet, they lift their glass and
 take off their hats to the female figure
 that has not a natural line in it.
 There are other women who have long
 since forgotten that they ever had a waist, but they cannot submerge the 1 flesh around their hips and back and they look worst in chemise, tunic and sandwich gowns. Therefore, the hustle drapery is for them. If the dressmakers can handle it in January in a manner l that suggests novelty and achieves
 artistic results. we shall probably see 1t in the foremost fashions.
 l Now as to the French bustle-it was copied from the Directoire period and l taken, like all the Directoire clothes, | from the fashions of a century be : ' fore Napoleon aspired to control of | France It merely transposes the drapery as the Americans use it, from | the back to the front. Those who re- 1 member their history of the Direc- l toire period know that the ladies of the Directoire had reason for this drapery. It was a fantastic fashion based by feminine bravado on some thing far more serious than clothes.

But Bernard, mind you, covered up half that long surface with cuff hem of handsome peltry and, therefore, broke the line in most agreeable way, but the American shops omit the fur and hand you out the plain, unvarnished garment that has very little style to it. Avoid it if you can.
 INCOMING CUIRASS BODICE
 The coat with belt short. flat peplum, two or three buttons in front and high collar that extends to the chin, is the fashionable coat. You may not be able to wear it as it stands, but you can endeavor to come as near it as your figure will permit. It is apt to be too jaunty for certain types of women, but any clever pair of hands can adjust it to the demands of the stout, broad or tall frame.
 There is another change of sil- houette that you must be ready to re- ceive. There is corslet or cuirass bodice that belongs to all the ages one epoch. Queen Elizabeth wore 1t in an exaggerated form. It belongs to symbolic Britania.

A young lady from st. Paul who is

some amusement last Friday when she
went to one of the local stores and
purchased pair of overalls and a
jacket and then went to the hotel and
engaged room, where she proceeded
to change herself from girl into. a
man. She clipped off part of her hair
and donned the mans clothing which
she had purchased. About train time
she left the hotel and went over near
the depot where she got in a box car
to await the coming of the passenger.
Her disguise was so poor that she was
recognized Immediately. She made the
passenger all right and went as far as
Lansford, but there she was watched
until her friends came for her. Her
only regret was that her disguise was
not good enough to keep her from be-
ng recognized. She probably had been
reading some exciting novel in which
woman had passed as man and de-

some excitement. Her little escapade
will give her the trouble of explaining
the cause of her short hair for some
