Gauntlet cuffs and throw" or scarf
collars are among the small innOva-
tions in coat styles that distinguish
them from preceding seasons. Anoth-
er almost universal feature of new
coats is some sort of definition at the
waistline which may be either above or
below the normal waistline and is
oftenmost above. Nevertheless many
of the new coats achieve an almost
straight silhouette. Bearing these
three pecullarities in mind. 1t will not
be at all hard to acquire an up-to-date
coat, for spring styles show no radical
departures from those of the winter.
Although the throw is merely sup
plement to the spring coat for wear
on keen. chilly days, 1t may be made
style note full of charm. There is
knack In wearing it which all lies in
adjusting 1t becomlngly. Each of the
two coats Illustrated here is provided
with throw and one of them Is fur
ther favored with one phase of the
gauntlet cuff. Both are of wool
velour, which has proved itself an
ideal fabric for coats.

Russian Peasants Hard Life.

The whole existence of the Russian
peasant is out of joint. He is born in
a world of earth and wood, where his
life is clrcumscribed oy log cabin
that is thatched in fall, when it as
sumes an appearance of tidiness, but
becomes a huge harp for the March
winds to play their woeful dirges on.
The thatch is fed to the few starving
animals, and the uispensable wooden
props and decorations used to cook
dinner with long before the approach
of spring. Here between the unplas.
tered, undecorated walls he lives with
his horse, his pig, his hens-always
provided he has any-under the same
roof, glad of their sociability and ami.
NAL warmth, being much in need OF
both. His home is one of the maze OF
zigzaz, iopsided, weather-beaten, bro
ken-dOwn izbas that stand huddled to
gether, freezing in Gods solemn peace
fulness and uncanny dreaminess. En-
chantingly idyllic on a canvas, but Q
dreadful place to live In.

NEW FASHIONS

Ripping skirt sections are tabooed
by some of the smartest modistes.
Gray handkerchief linen is used for
some of the most distinctive of French
hand made blouses.
Cat stitching in heavy silk Is In
some cases replacing fill tire work on
bIouses. since it involves less time and
labor and is almost as effective.
A novel edging, introduced by Ian
win on some of her blouses, is made of
tiny seam beading, cut in half and ap-
piled by hand.
Colored pique Is used for collars and
cuffs on lingerie blouses for spring.
Heavily embroidered front panels
are used on some of the hand made
lingerie things.
Blazer stripes are reported as re-
turning to favor in England for sweat
ers.
Most of the best bandeau brassieres
are now fitted with shaped dia-
phragm band.
The Ordway new era., 1918-03-08

The model at the left Is in beige color.
1t has straight panels down the front
and a rather wide girdle set In about
the sides and back, defining long
waistline. The skirt of the coat is
shirred to the belt with scant fullness.
The sleeves are roomy and finished
with ample cuffs that are embellished
with small buttons. There is long
rolling shawl collar which may be fas-
tened over the throat. The scarf hangs
to the waistline and ends in large, soft
tassels. 1t amounts to an ornament
and Is pictured with the throat un-
covered and the ends hanging at each
side of the coat.
The coat at the left resorts to small
box plaits in the back to provide the
required fullness In its skirt. 1t
chooses the high waistline and a scarf
in white with tasseled ends In dark
taupe like the coat In color.

collected a large army. He defeated
the Germans and stopped the western
advance of the Mongolians. He like
wise defeated the Russians and in
creased the territory of Lithuania con-
siderably.
Mindaugis, the next grand duke, a
capable organizer and administrator,
continued the work successfully. Ged-
eminas, shrewd diplomat, as is shown
in his correspondence with the popes
of Rome and the Teutonic order was
the next grand duke of note. He es-
tablished the grand duchy of Lithu-
ania on a firm basis, vanquished the
Russians, Teutons, and especially the
Tartars, and so helped save Europe
from the greatest disaster that could
have befallen it-invasion and occupa-
ton by Mongolians. At this time Lith-
to the Black sea. After the death of
Gedeminas, his two sons, Algirdas and
Keistutis, reigned. and waged battles
with Teutons and Slavs.
In 1869 sort of dual Polish-Lithua-
nian government was adopted. Even
then, Lithuania kept Its independence.
In the three partitions of Poland the
major part of Lithuania was annexed
by Russia and the smaller by Germany.
Thus Lithuania was removed from the
map of the world.
The people were forbidden to use
the Lithuanian language, and the pos
session of any Lithuanian books, even
prayer books. was considered a polit-
ical crime, and schools teaching Lith-
uanian were closed. The Russian gov
ernment prohibited the use of any type
in print but the Russian. The people
as a result, smuggied in books and
newspapers printed in Latin type, from
Germany. Eventually the imperial or
der was revoked and the use Of Latin
type re-established. From that time
on Lithuanian literature has flourishcd,
many newspapers having been pub
lished and many books printed.
There are probably about 100000
persons of genuine Lithuanian stock.
In addition to these, the Lithuanian
state would include 100000 Poles,
Jews. Russians, and Germans, making
a total of 1900 900 for Lithuania prop
er. If Lettland should be united with
Lithuania 1t would add 2,5O0,OOO Let's,
making grand total population of H.
100000 for the new nation.

United States seashore Cities.

Seashore cities-small and sleepy
villages in winter, great, bustling cities
in summer--are now SO numerous that
they can hardly be counted. They dot
the coast from Maine to Florida; the
gulf coast has any number of pretty,
salubrious bathing spots. and the Pa
cific coast, from Gray's Harbor to San
Diego, abounds in ocean resorts. The
gulf coast and the lower Pacific coast
have the advantage, however, of all
the-year-round bathing; the Atlantic
coast season is about three months
only.

Java's Sugar Production.

Java is such a fruitful land that one
hesitates to specify the principal crop
but 1t is one of the great sugar-pro.
ducing countries of the world. The
annual export of sugar amounts to
something like 100000 tons. People
are so accustomed to thinking of sugar
in terms of pounds that nearly 2,00O,.
600 tons of sugar seems to have stu
pefying effect on the mind. There are
more than 100000 acres of land under
cultivation in sugar on the island OF
Java and the average yield per acre is
four and one-half tons, which is yield
that is high above the average Of
sugar land.

UNITED WAR WORK

UNITED WAR WORK
With the conference yesterday morning, the
campaign for the United War Work was launched
IN Pensacola, and no one who has taken pride in
the success of every patriotic drive can doubt but
this district will go the top in the campaign
The unification of forces for the drive is due
to the interest of the president, who, realizing
that number of these campaigns, following one
after the other, would impose burden upon the
people, suggested the United War Work in the
following letter:
1T was evident from the first land has be-
come increasingly evident that the services rem
dered by these agencies to our army and to our
Gliies are essentially one and all of a kind and
must of necessity if we'll rendered, be rendered in
the" closest cooperation. 1t is my judgment,
therefore that we shall achieve the best of re-
suits in the matter of support of these agencies,
If these seven societies will unite their forthcom-
ing appeal for funds, in order that the spirit of
the country in this matter may be expressed
without distinction of race or religious opinion
in support of what is in reality common service.
''WiII you not, therefore, as chairman of the
commission on training camp activities, be good
enough to request the societies in question to
combine their approaching appeals for funds in
single campaign preferably during the week of
November II, so that in their solicitation of
funds, as we'll as in their work in the field, they
may act in complete cooperation and fellow
ship possible?
I'm inviting these organizations to give this
new evidence of their patriotic cooperation, l
wish it distinctly understood that their compli-
ance with this request will not in any imply
the surrender on the part of any of them of its
distinctive character and autonomy, because
fully recognize the fact that each of them has
its traditions, principles and relationships
which it properly prizes and which. if preserved
and strengthened make possible the largest
service. ...-s.. ........... .-..-.
"At the same time would be obliged if you
would convey to them from me very warm ex-
preston of the governments appreciation of the
splendid service they have rendered in minister
ing to the troops at home and overseas in their
leisure time"
