The handsome frocll of satin appears
IN the picture to have bias against
symmetry and to be one-sided affair.
But this is the fault of the photo
graph for both sides of the overdress
are made in the same way. The skirt
of the overdress, cut in one with the
body slopes downward and toward the
back, falling in cascaded plaits at the
bottom. In the back it is long enough
TO reach nearly to the bottom of the
underskirt.
The underskirt is almost plain, with
llaits at each side of the front panel
and across the back. 1t has wide
hem; but simplicity in this model
ceases with the underskirt. The over
dress is odd and intricate, with grace
full, draped body, following the lines of
the figure vaguely and extending be-
low the waistline at the front. 1t

ally of silk or satin made to slip on
over an underblouse of georgette crepe
or chiffon. The kimono blouse slips
on over the head, and the peplum
blouses are made with either short or
long peplums. Each of these varieties
is made in so many ways that each is
a story by itself.
But the blouse without peplum.
like that shown in the picture, is made
in greater numbers than all the others
put together. There is really no end
10 the variations, in details of decora-
ton, in collars, sleeves and cut, that
the popularity of this style compels.

the figure and fastens at the right side,
above the hip.
The sleeves are made of georgette

sleeves of satin for the forearm. They
are headed by deep cuffs at the elbow
and trimmed with pendant buttons. A
small shawl collar of soft white satin
establishes the relationship of this in

hour.
When we come to think of it, there
are many kinds of blouses to choose

models with convertible collars; but

Vice Deuotees Tenorized the City
Of Seattle By Slugging Women to
Force Reopening of a Restricted
District Women Now Aroused

Seattle, Wash. Oct. 22.-That the
epidemic of smuggling of women which
has .terrorized Seattle for more than
a month. is the result Of a conspiracy
of organized vice interests to bring
about the restoration Of a restricted
district in this city, was charged by
several speakers at a mass meeting
of Seattle women today.
The women, representing a number
of leagues and clubs, discussed the
question of a house cleaning and APP

there were IL attacks. Seven women
were struck down In three days time

Increasing attacks and the inability

OF all the industries created or de-

ditions. none has shown more rapid
progress than American d%yestuffs.
From only seven establishments in
which 528 people were engaged in
producing 6,619.72 pounds Of coal
tar colors, valued at $1,126,699, in
1914, the industry has developed until
now it not only supplies the domestic
demand for colors but has even in
vaded the foreign market in European
neutral and allied countries, Canada,
Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, British
India and Japan.
No other article Of commerce more

very few articles rival them in COM

a conference convened by the Wom-
ems Industrial Council is to be held.
1t is asserted that large numbers OF
girls of good family are working in
government and other offices just for
pocket money and there is a danger
of lowering wages for the genuine
worker, particularly when the war is
over.
The council is endeavoring to inn
press on all working girls the neces-
sity of not assisting any scheme which
would send down the rate of pay for
those who are obliged to earn a living.
1t is anticipated that, after the war,
there will be keen competition for
work and thai employers will take ad-
vantage to offer lower wages where
competition gives them a chance.
