Female Trousers Has Become
"A Stern Reality for This Year

with sailor collar and loose, three
quarter sleeves. They have neat
little belt, button down the front and
there are two dandy, handy big patch
pockets, one on each hip. Thus far
they are no different than the little
old last years model house dress.
But below the pockets comes the great
divide into cunning little trousettes
that clasp the ankles with an elastic
headed frill or else hang straight
with stitched band of the MATERIAL
bounding them, like an honest 20
goodness regular male trouser cuff.
On some of the prettiest models this
band around the bottom of the pantel-
cites like the belt, collar, pocket and
sleevecuffs, is of contrasting shade Of
material. These sensible and saucy
suits come in chambray, bingham,
denim, and khaki in pink or blue or
white or tan.
Then there are the regulation over
alls, the female of the species re-
sembling much the male. These are
of course for the more strenuous
walks of workaday feminine life.
Skating overalls are cutting some
ice these days too, let me tell you.
Fair skaters find they can cut a much
better figure eight or any old figure
at all in the smart new tailored trous-
ers of novelty suiting and tweed cut
generously wide with the big flap
pockets on each hip and cunning sus-
penders of the same material holding
them securely in place.
Milady of elegant leisure is painting
tC be in in a trousered class with her
sisters the sporting girl and the busy
housewife. So she affects the straight
black silk trousers of the Chinese wo'
man, topped with gaily embroidered
Chinese coat for her robe intimate,
or the full trousers of a Turkish tro-
ply under a flowing coat of silk.
Wearing trousers has indeed become
such fascinating habit that the 1917
female cannot even doff them at night
and so she dons; when the shades OF
night have fallen down and the win
dow shades are down as we'll, cutey
little suits of pajamas with feminine

The busy housewife pants these days
AS she does UP the chores,
You see she's cast her skirts aside
For trouserettes indoors.
NEW YORK, April I'm a class
with the hoary and decrepit mother
in-law joke the one about the ad-
vanced female donning the trousers
has done equally long and faithful
service. But 10 and behold the latter
wheeze has now ceased to be a joke
and in these days of 1917 become a
stern reality.
DR.. Mary Walker blazed the trail
for the wearing of masculine neither
garments, I believe, but it took a
heap of red tape to keep them on.
Nine. Curie more recently gained the
permission of her government to
wear 'em after great deal of trou-
BILE and time, but now everybody's do
Ing it with the greatest ease and non
chalance.
Along with the high cost of living
and other evils, of course, this FEM
iLine penchant for trousers must be
blamed on the poor old war. Only
this time it is no evil, but a blessing
in disguise of pants.
With the women forced to take over
the tasks of males in all the fighting
countries, naturally it was meet that
they should take over the cut of their
clothes as we'll. One can't very ad-

American Automobiles Haze
Made Fortunes Among Spanish

It is in the American demand for
their art treasures that the Spanish
are taking their chief interest. Buyers
for the big American department
stores are now coming here for the
first time instead of to Florence, Mil
an, Paris and other art centers from
which it would be risky to ship art
treasures now.
America would have received a num-
Der of the paintings of the great Span
ish master Goya if it had not been for
a recent complication at the New
York custom house The pictures ac-
tually went to New York, were held on
the pier for some time because of ir-
regularities in making out papers, and
were finally sent ack here unopened.
The owner had meantime made two
trips to New York but at last gave up
the shipment as hopeless. One of the
pictures was Goya's study of Madame
Haro, another his Virgin painted on a
panel of wood, and third a peasant
dance, on wood.
Another artist is now taking to
America a Titan, called Salidad (sol-
itude). The value recorded is 100000
pesetas.

MADRID. April 2. - There are
some curious features of the increase
in trade between Spain and America
which has resulted from the submar-
inc war and the cutting of Germany S
trade with Spain. While American au-
tomobiles are having great boom in
Spain, they have one curious draw
back in not being able to bring along
the American tires, as these are rub
Der and contraband of war, subject to
all kinds of restrictions and regula-
tions.
The American auto-trucks are caus-
Jig a revolution in Madrid along three
distinct lines: first, doing away with
the huge antique carts which labor
along the streets: second, supplanting
the long tandem teams of oxen and
donkevs. covered with jingling bells;
and finally. changing Madrid from one
OF the worst paved capitals of Europe
to one of the best. The Spaniards
look with awe at the disappearance OF
their ancient methods before the
march of progress.
A complication has arisen over the
shipment of American meat to Spain
The Spanish ships were glad to get
this class of freight, but the ships
were not provided with the necessary
refrigerating plant. AS this is essen
tial for shipping meat long distances
many Spanish ships are being over
bauIed to nut in the modern cold-stor-
age equipment so as to handle this
new class of American product. Once
eouipped this way, fresh Spanish fruit
will be going to America, and fresh
American meat coming to Spain.
American fat-irons and other cleo
tricaI novelties are now being used for
the first time. and the Spaniards say
those articles are so much better nm
ished than the German goods thdC
used to come here that they will hold
the market permanently even If Ger
man trade gets footing again after
the war. Even American drugstores
with American medicines have made
their appearance along the streets of
Madrid
Besides stepping into the place OF
France and Italy in supplying Amer
lea with antiques, curios, etc, the war
is also having the effect of giving Spain
a good deal of the American trade in
perfumes, toilet articles and soaps
which used to go from France in large
quantities. Some of these articles
such as CASTLE soap, have their origin
here in CASTLE.

Tigers Crush
Soldier Boys
OF Camp Dix

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. 27.-Prince-
toms informal varsity showed unex-
pected strength against the soldiers
from Camp Dix this afternoon and won
rather easily in the Palmer Stadium
by a count of to 0. Although the
members Of the eleven had practised
together only twice before the game.
Speedy Rush, in Princeton for tire
week. had worked wonders with the
men. and the Tigers showed an assert.

the soldier lihe.
The only thing which kept Princeton
from rolling up large total was tho
played football to amount to anything
This fall and were consequently easily
tired. Toward the end Of the game
many of the players showed signs or
distress, and the team which started
the last quarter was much weakened
by the large number of substitutions
which Speedy Rush was forced to
make.
As an exhibition Of good football the
game fell far short Of mid-season
varsity contest, save in a few IN
stances. Both teams showed unmis,
taxable signs Of lack of practice, and
especially the first half was marred bv
frequent fumbling.
II was in the very first period that
the Tigers were at their best and Heck
punted his winning touchdown. And
few minutes later il was only an dn
fortunate offside penalty which KEEP
Princeton from another touchdo"n
when a long pass from VIM to BAN,
man had placed the ball on the visitors

Nearly one thousand regulars from

Fordham Prep School Cham

Two youthful lawn tennis events

but the doubles, in which the Boys OPP

with the Juniors having one set to the

Of Vincent Richards, Of the Fordham

the Brooklyn Y. NJ. c. A. The prize
went to the national boy champion in
straight sets, two of which were stub
bornly contested by Donaldson.
Owing TO boil which showed on his
cheek, Richards hit the sphere in list
less fashion. Now and again. though,
he would wake up and pull off some
terrific forehand drives. giving the gal
lery the impression that he could hit at
will and with yarying speed.

of Staten Island, in straight sets. The

Yale Infornals
Beat LOOMS Team
In First Tussle

WINDSOR, Conn, Oct 27.-Yale to-
day sent her informal eleven into its
first game of the season, defeating the
LOOMS Institute team here, 7 to O.
The Yale aggregation included three
members of the varsity squad of last
season, F'ullback Charles Stewart,
Guard Vorys and Tackle Sidenberg.
They outweighed the Loomis prepare
tory school players, who nevertheless
gave them a scare during the first five
minutes of play, when Crawford, left
end, seized long pass from Fullback
Lloyd and raced fifty yards, being
brought down at the Yale 5-yard line.
TIE Yale rush line stiffened and the
ball was wrested from the Academy
players on downs. The Eli goal was
not again threatened.
Yale registered the only touchdown
of the game in the third period, when,
after a series of short gains by the
Eli backfeld, the ball was brought to
the Loomis 1O-yard line. Wayland,
the Yale right end, took the ball on a
short forward pass from Quarterback
Smith and lodged across the. line. ---

Army and Navy Game
of for This Season

The last hope for a football game
between the Army and Navy this fall
has fickered out. The proposition has
been turned down definitely by those
in control of athletics at West Point,
presumably on the advice Of the de-
partment heads. Until a day or two
ago it was thought the annual classic
between the two service branches
might be renewed despite the war.
The fact that American troops have
moved up to the first line trenches for
their first taste of fire may have had
something to do with the final and
definite stand against the game by
those in authority with the Army.

Brunonians got the jump on the Ham

line-bucking game, aided by forward
pass, gave them a touchdown early in

goal.
Colgate fought hard, but it was not
until the third period that the eleven
developed sufficient power to penetrate
the Brown defence consistently. Clio

in the Brown line, and the former
scored the touchdown. Hubbell failed

Juniors captured the first set, and with
