ers, country clothes and beach suits
are made by the hundreds in white,
horizon blue, deep pink and gray
touched with blue and silver. This Is
an excellent idea, for the material does
not wrinkle, is easily cleaned or
washed and does not shrink. 1t also
goes longer without ironing than any
other kind Of fabric intended for con-
stant service.
Another segment of the wheel Of
fashion In which this wOolen jersey
has appeared is the long cape gathered
to a slight yoke at the shoulders, with
Sits at each side for the arms and
finished at the top with an immense
handkerchief collar that fastens on
the left shoulder. These capes are
lined with brightly figured Chinese
and japanese silks.
is the insistence upon capes instead
Of topcoats. Nine. Paquin and Nine.
GeOrgette wore these capes In Paris
all through the winter and fea-
tured them at the spring openings.
The house of Cheruit also turned out
goodly number of them, with all
the peculiar tricks that belong to this
little group of designers.
The only topcOats that the smart
houses offer are for sport use, and
they are made Of cOlored velveteen
and stOckinet Jersey in bold, gay de-
signs. For other hours and purposes,
the cape is offered instead of the top
coat. 1t is of serge lined with fig
ured crepe; 1t is Of satin lined with
horizon blue or flamingo pink; 1t is
Of Chinese blue wOolen Jersey lined
with gray; AID it is In gray lined with
pink, blue or yellow.
A woman will own as many capes
at she once owned sweaters. They
not only appear as outdoor garments,
but as indoor accessories to house
gowns. They are also used for late
afternoon and evening wear, indoors,
and are Of chiffon or net. They are
banded with bright materials In the
same color, they are lavishly cmbroid-
cred with beads, silk floss and bullion
threads, and again they are made of
chanully, Spanish or Alet lace, I'M
lined and ungirdled.
There is no limit set on the usage
Of figured silk for Innings and facings,
and the cGpes offer excellent advan-
tages for this fashion. This trick new
er had such instant success as this
season.

Becomes Standard Material.
The dominant thing that has been
done this season is to change jersey
from an unimportant sport material
into an important standard matesial.
1t rivals serge and crepe de chine.
Strange to say, the silk weave is alb
sent from the French gowns, and
gowns and suits Of it are sold by the
American dressmakers at absurdly low
prices, as If they knew that its doom
was sealed.
Beige, biscuit, string color and three
tones of gray rule in the one-piece
woolen jersey frocks, but dark blue,
dull red and horizon blue are coming
strongly into favor. These frOcks are
usually made in one piece, and all the
varieties of drapery and plating and
barrellng that prevail in the other
frOCks are used in the jersey.
This material has also been intro
duced into juvenile clothes with
marked success. 1t promises 10 su-

COATS GIVE WAY TO CAPES
Women Are Not Expected to Accept
Argument That They Should Show
Patriotism by Buying No
New Clothes.

New YOrk.-Despite the persuasion,
pleading and argument Of the hundreds
of women who have organized them
selves for preparedness to the effect
that women do not buy any more
clothes, but give this money to nation
al defense, the process of arranging
new apparel to meet the season goes
steadily on.
Surely, the appeal of these women
must be based on ignorance of CON
ditiOns, for they have the welfare of
humanity In their hearts or they
would not organize into bands for civic
help; but to plead that no woman
should buy new clothes and that she
should frOwn upon the pegtOp and the
melon skirt because they are new
fashions and demand the purchasing
of new clothes, is to argue in a way
that would take the very food out of
the mouths of millions Of workers.
These women argue that we should
follow the example of France, Eng
land and Germany and that our wom-
en- should make a sacrifice of clothes
III OANNA ~ CAlON ALNAl lluAlOllul eBlll lls
But why? The resources of France,
Germany and England were needed for
war, which was sprung upon them
without any warning and found them
unprepared financially. This isn't u
hgment of the Imagination, but the
statement of financiers and captains of
industry.
Women VIII Buy Clothes.
However, it takes very little argu-
ment to persuade women that their
national spirit should be shown in
spending their money on clothes, If
they have it to spend. Everybody is
benefited all down the line, to the
little cash girl six years old in the
slums of the city, whose money is
needed to give more bread to her fam
lily. Therefore, accepting the fact that
new fashions will be as popular as
ever and that new clothes will spring
up afresh as the leaves on the trees
and the grass on the ground, 1t is best
to content ourselves with telling what
it is wise to buy, rather than arguing
for and against buying.
A summary Of what is accepted may
be wise at this time. To begin with

dog, and it was full Of adventures Of
this dog.
"It was the day for the story to
come. Her aunt had told her Just
when to expect It, for the aunt lived
far off.
"The mail arrived and there was no

"Now It happened that the envelope

rather thin and I'm being jammed into

adventure myself. I'll go out and see
the world and maybe instead Of being
only one story shall become quite
few stories.'
$50 out of the envelope fell the
story. The envelope stayed inside the
bag and with the rest of the mail was
sorted and sent out.
"The envelope without the story

"T don't believe l will tell my

she went to so much trouble to write

to herself And then she thought she
had better tell her aunt about the
strange accident.
"That night the little girl fell asleep
and she dreamed of her story. She
saw the little dog, saw him wagging
his tail, heard him bark, watched his
tricks, and laughed.
"And then she heard the little dog
say, Bow-wOw, bOw-wOw. 1 know a

seem the part of wisdom for every farm woman to
see to it that plans at once made for the keep

surely is good money in it by the mere saving OF
sugar if only enough is produced for family needs
but there is also good money to be had for all
that can be put onto the market.
Pleas are being made by all departments OF ag-
ricuture that people take this up as a patriotic
duty and keep bees to gather the tons and tons OF
honey stored in ways and places inaccessible to

sweetness added to it. It is absolutely pure ana

NO HELP

By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
"Why fret?'' said 1, "about the cost of meat,
Such trifies ought to give one no dlsqulet,
This cost of living problem I can beat
By living en- vegetarian diet.
One need not fill himself with roasts and steWs
Or gobble steaks and outlets like glutton
Nor need he worry daily at the news
Of still more lofty soaring beef and mutton
Next day 1 dined on peas and artichokes
And succotash, with here and there a carrot,
And rhubarb-which is relished by some folks,
Though 1 regard it devoid of merit
They satisfied lusty appetite,
And, fancying myself as rather clever,
felt that 1 would take my pen and write
To Hoover that I'd done with meat forever.
But when the bills came in and beheld
The prices of the garden truck I'd eaten
To wit: Three fifty five-I compelled
To own the living game was still unbeaten
Although hate to the butchers raid
And make off with my limited per diem
[ fear that the solution must be made
By someone who is cleverer than l am.
