Shadows Of Coming Events.

For two months, therefore. the Ameri-
cans. who were in Paris buying clothes
for US to copy. were attending the the
ater as in the old days. They were MAX
ing sketches in their notebooks. as of
yore. and going back to the designer who
created the gowns they liked. for COPIES
OF them to be sent to this country. More
than that. the gowns that have been
shown across the footlights are consid-
cred excellent forerunners of what will
b shown to our buyers later this month
at the semi-annual openings. Every one
admits that these clothes have been ex-
ceedingly good and that the chance OF
seeing them worn by the foremost
actresses of France has lightened up the
condition of fashion in Paris and made
It easier to come to some conclusion
as to what our women care to buy.
This is the sixth season of clothes ex-
hibitions that France has held since the
and our buyers have been compelled to
judge of the gowns in the hand, as it
were, or on some girl who posed in them
for few minutes. However. when they
so to the theaters nightly and see
all the new fashions exploited by women
who are really using them and not pos
ing in them. the situation becomes less
perplexing and it is probable that
America will derive great benefit from it.
The fashions shown on the stage have
included the barrel skirt, the loose. short,
tunic blouse over a plaid skirt, the long,
full cape instead of coat, and the new
decolletage, which is round instead of
square or V-shaped and which hangs
loosely away from the figure back and

popularity of the vest or gilet in the
development of spring suits, frocks and

that this clever little style feature

The blouse employs chartreuse-co1-

the vest. white georgette for the sleeve
and neck frills and black velvet ribbon
for the girdle. This belt circles lne

War Department Officials Explain Method Which
 Will Be Pursued.
COUNTY OFFICERS
 WILL GET NAMES
Burden Will Lie on Individuals, and Not on Registration Boards. to Sec That They Avoid Heavy
 Penalty by Registering.

Washington, May 5.-An official outline of the method by which mill- tary registration is to be carried out under the selective draft conscription bill was made public today with an appeal flor the war department for voluntary servies of state election and other officials il order that there may be no delay in enrolling and classifying millions of men for army duty.
 Careful preparation has been made to place the whole task in the hands of civilian officials of the states and to remove every suggestion of mili- tary force in putting the measure in- to effect The only function of the federal government Will be superVi- sion through the office of the provost marshal general. The department statement follows:
 Not Bayonett Conscription.
 "There was a time in the country's s history when military enumerators, backed by bayonets, went out among the people to take compulsory ser vice census. Today, under the princi- pie of universal liability to service the execution of the lew is put into the hands of the people.
 "The approval of ths new national army bill and the presidents proc lamation hereunder will be coinci- dent. All persons within the age linn its prescribed will be required to pre- sent themselves for registration at the customary voting places in the voting precincts in which they have their permanent homes, on day which the president will announce. The probability is that from 10 to 15 days will elapse between approval of the bill and registration day.
 "The governor of each state will be chief of registration therein. The machinery of registration in each county is to be in charge of the sher- if, the county clerk and the county physician, acting ex-officio, unless a different board shall be announced by the governor. In cities having more than 3O.000 population the reg istration will be under the control of the mayor and selected boards of reg istration. In order that the desig-
