New York, Feb. 7.-Although
New York is still in the grip of
winter, thoughts Of lighter
clothes to be worn under sunny
skies begin to be forced on our
attention. Immediately after
the holiday season the shops be-
gin to show tempting array of
thin dresses and light suits, for
it is now that the exodus to
warmer climes begins to take
place. Those of us, who either
from choice or necessity must
see the winter through in the
cold regions, may still contem-
plate the styles that are offered
for Southern wear, for they are
a pretty accurate forecast of
what will be worn when spring
comes.

The delicate lingerie dress
this season is of Georgette, chif.
fon cloth or net-these for the
more formal dresses, while fol
other purposes there are dainty
fine voiles, with new printed
woven or embroidered designs
in the most attractive colorings
imaginable. Net dresses are
finely embroidered and trimmed
with lace, while those of chiffon
and Georgette are adorned with
the ubiquitous embroidery in
cross-stitch, beads or darning-
stitch.
The Nea0 Colors
Green is one Of the most fash
ionable colors for the coming
season. 1t has already been
launched by Paris with great
success; furthermore, it is the
true color Of spring and for
that reason most appropriate for
this season of the year. There
is a delicate canary yellow used
both for afternoon and evening
gowns which is quite new and
promises to be very much fav-
ored. Yellow in any shade
seems to meet with approval.
mustard and citron
shades are considered especially
smart for sports clothes.
We have not been able to get
away from dark blue, for, in
spite of many people being tired
of it, Fashion considers it cor
rect for the tailored suit and
dress, and it is much too prac-
tical a color to be discarded.

The sketch illustrates blouse

straight across the front and
back from shoulder to shoulder,
is also proving very popular.
This line is not so hard when
the material is softly shirred
and an additional piece of plain
chiffon is placed over the should
er. Shirred pockets at the edge
of the peplum, and the ribbon
decoration ending in loops be-
low the belt, which is finished
with a prim, tailored bow di-

the new models, varying accord

are very striking and introduce
an entirely new note. Some of
the designs are distinctly Orien-
tai in effect. Silk and wool per-
sey are other important fabrics
which in spite of having been
used over and over again are
still counted among fashionable
materials.
For the Boudoir
A negligee with angel sleeves
is one of the latest offerings for
the woman who loves to be
daintily and becomingly attired
in her boudoir. A sketch is
shown here. The negligee is of
crepe de Chine, with fine lace
edging around the collar and
pockets, and sleeves of deep lace
flouncing. The pockets and
sleeves are weighted with silk
tassels.
Boudoir caps of net, chiffon
and lace trimmed with ribbon
are still seen in great numbers.
A very pretty cap of blue chif-
fon with a pleated net ruffle and
long streamers of blue ribbon
is a recent Importation from
Paris. A large pearl ornament
was placed in front. Another
cap of cream net was trimmed
with narrow blue ribbon in lat
tice effect around the edge. Tiny
pink rosebuds held down the lat
tice where the ribbon crossed it
self. A ribbon bow on the crown
and soft ruffle to frame the
face completed this dainty trifle.
Such caps are easily made from
scraps which you may have left
over in the house.

Man Who Built Cantonments Tells What

There are 1000 buildings in
each cantonment, or $4,000 in all.
They are SO built for fire protec-
ton that only one building can
burn at time.

For the immediate present, at
least, Argentines determination
to declare war against Germany
is to be held in allegiance.
Government officials today ac-
cepted as temporarily satisfao-
tory" a message from the Ger
man government, transmitted
thru the Argentine minister at
Berlin, disavowing Count Luz
burg's utterances and denying
that the kaiser approved Of Luz
burg personally.
The fact was emphasized, how
ever, that this disavowal does not
constitute the full, free and
formal reply demanded in Argen-
tines ultimatum. Its receipt,
however, stops the chamber Of
deputies immediate consideration

Various kinds of problems ar
rived at Camp Lewis on the trains
that brought $40 selective army
men from Montana, Nevada,
Idaho, Washington and California
Sunday.
Joseph Campanella of Los An
geles was insane and 1 nhandcuffs,
with a deputy sheriff from Ore
gon in charge of him. Campo
nella began to show signs of un-
balance shortly after leaving
home, and 1t was necessary to send
for an officer to accompany him.
Another man tried to cut his
throat. His name and home ad-
dress are being withheld by camp
authorities.
A miner from southwest Wash
ington, who had been working
where he did not see the daily
papers, did not know he was sup
posed to come on a special train
with hundreds of others, and
came by himself, ignorant of what
he might be coming to, and so
scared that when he arrived at
the post he was crying Lieut..
H. L. Archer Of the casualty de-
partment, in the headquarters
building, Strengthened things out
for him.
A bunch of cowboys from
Wyoming who had apparently
been laying in a supply of wet
goods before coming to dry
state, took the command to open
your mouth and say All. so
that the medical officer could in
spect their threats, as q good
joke.
"Now why should l open my
mouth for your" inquired their
leader quizsically of the officer.
The order was repeated, and this
time the whole 20 opened their
mouths as one and bleated a
mighty "Ah" that dislocated the
whole proceedings.
