Margaret Mason Writes on
Gotham Fads and Fashions

I to match the summer draperies and the
hangings. They are finished around the
bottom with pleated ruffles called
Dutch flounces. Snappers are used to
fasten snugly and neatly covers on
the most difficult shaped articles of
furniture so that each and every slip
cover, if it is made well, fits as per-
fectly as your own new tailor made.
The beauty of it is that you can slip
off your arm chairs slip and have it
( laundried as easily as you slip off your
small daughter S slip and then you can
slip it right back again. 1t certainly is
a perfect snap as well as perfect fit
with the new snapper fastenings.
Naturally imported linens and ere
tonnes are almost prohibitive in price
this year but our domestic output is
most creditable and copies of old Eng
lish linens in soft colorings and even a
good imitatnon of the linen fabric are
Offered in the cotton cretonnes at prices
reasonable enough to make ones living
room or bedroom. OF course If you do
want to go the limit, covers for the Vic
trola and piano, the bookcases and desk
and tables as well as for the upholster-
ed pieces may be INDUCED IN and the
effect is most charming.
Chinese designs are very popular and
birds of Paradise, pheasants, peacocks
and love birds have come home to roost
on almost all your easy chairs. Old
rose or yellow shades are very good this
year for background colorings and putty
or French grey are also most effective
with brilliant hued designs outlined in
black. While all cover designs are most
practical for slip cover use set patterns
of baskets of flowers, urn shaped vases,
flowed filled, or cages filled with
birds work up most artistically.
In England where no easy chair is
without its flounce trimmed, gayly fig
ured slip they often leave them on all
the year round Now that our slip COW
ers have become such works of art, such
things Of beauty and such perfect fits
we are going to be loathe to pull them
off in the winter time ourselves. For
to summarize the whole subject of slip
covers they certainly summerize whole
room.
Soon no one will be able to take this
seat without realizing that "There's IS
many slip 'twixt the chair and the
hip"

From the Liberty Loan 1917 Publicity
Bureau.
Washington, June 1.-National credit
depends very much upon two factors,
national resources and the strength of
the government.
A nation might possess Overwhelming
resources and still suffer from bad cred
| it because the weakness of its govern
ment would not make it possible for
that nation to levy upon its resources
to meet its obligations.
The American Revolution is an exam
pie of sufficient resources but inability
to collect Most of the functions of
government were possessed by the
states at the beginning of the Revolu-
tionary war Each state issued its own
money and collected its own taxes. The
Continental Congress was voluntary
body which grew up to meet the exig-
eney.
The story Of the attempt of the IS
colonies TO finance their rebellion
against Great Britain is one of the
tragic chapters of all history. The
mental tortures suffered by the men
who were bearing the responsibility of
government compared with the physical
tortures endured by the patriots at Val
ley Forge. Nearly every plan of money
raising devised by human brain was
attempted by the colonists and with
only partial success.
There are four recognized methods of
raising money for warfare. These are
the sale of bonds, the issuance of paper
money, direct and indirect taxation, and
the eOnfiseation of property and wealth.
The colonies tried every plan. During
the first year of the war they issued
six million dollars of paper money ask.
ing each colony to redeem certain
portion Of this issue. The Federal gov
ernment could not demand the states
to pay; it merely requested and some
of them paid and some did not.
Early in 1916 four million dollars of
paper money was issued and paper mon
ey became so plentiful that it was worth
only about one-seventh of its face value.
By the end of 17T6 more than twenty
millions had been issued.
In July, i5T5, the oolonists attempt
ed five million dollar loan at four

the extent of $50 means that you are
lending your resources to pay the keep
of one soldier for ten days in the
trenches of France. Surely you can
do that much. Many can do much
more.
Let your response to the Liberty
loan be your approval of the words OF
President Wilson
The right is more precious than
peace and we shall fight for the things
which we have always carried nearest
our hearts---for democracy, for the
right of those who submit to authority
: to have a voice in their own govern.

ion of right by such a concert Of free
people as shall bring peace and safety

self at last free.

our lives and our fortunes, everything
that we are and everything that we
have with the pride of those who know
that the day has come when America
has been privileged to spend her blood
and her might for the principles that
gave her birth and happiness and the
peace which she has treasured. y

per cent, failed because capitalists could
get six per cent from private borrow
ers. In l777 big lottery was attempt
ed, 100000 tickets being sold to produce
government revenue, but this did not
succeed as well as was expected. Dur
ing l777 thirteen million dollars mere
of paper money was issued. The Con
tinental Congress, desperate, asked the
states to raise money by taxation and
lend it to the government at six per
cent. The property Of British Loyalists
in the colonies was eonfiseated, and
used to help carry on the war. Then
when the colonies were almost at the
end of theier financial string, come
the French alliance, and France bolster
ed up American credit a little bit by
guaranteeing the interest on the debt.
When France joined America fifty mil
lion dollars of paper money had been
issued
By the end of 1919 the total issue of
paper money had reached $200,000,000
and it had lest its purchasing power;
the money would not even be accepted
for furnishing supplies to Washington IS
army, so congress assessed a certain
amount of supplies against each of the
states, Virginia being assessed 10000
barrels of Indian corn.
1t was Robert Morris, Philadelphia
banker, who finally devised the financ.
ing system which saw the colonies
through. He created the Bank of
North America to redeem notes in
specie payments. He was materially
aided by reason of the better feeling
which prevailed over the chance of vic
tory and the consequently enhanced
credit of the colonies.
American credit was desperately low
during the war of 1912 The great fin
sneier, Albert Gallatin, was able to-
sell only about one-half of the first
eleven million dollar loan at six per
cent, The second loan of sixteen mil
lion dollars only produced about five
million. Finally the government offer
ed premium of Is cents on the dollar
and David Parish, stephen Girard and
John Jacob Astor took the balance of
the sixteen million dollar loan.

a former soldier, were nominated to-
day to oppose each other for the Va
cancy in Parliament in the Abercromby
Division caused by the elevation of
Colonel Richard Godolphin Walmesloy,
who was created baron by King
George, June II. The contest for the
seat has assumed the character OF a
test Of popular satisfaction with the
government.
Mr.. Hughes's platform embraces
fair treatment for former service men
who. after having been discharged
from the army or the navy, now are
being rcGxamined with view 10 be
;ng Incorporated again into the fight
ING forces, suppression Of war profits
and the restoration of the working
mans beer. On all of these points
the government has promised reform.

action. especially in the industrial dis
tricts Of tho Midlands and the North.
