ny, Dec. 24.--With a spirit of peace
on earth, good will to men," almost
two million American soldiers will en-
joy real good Christmas on German
and French soil tomorrow.
In the back areas the holiday feast
will be elaborate. In the advanced
areas the Christmas has not arrived
in spite of the best effort of the trans
portation units.
PC, 900 Americans In Germany.
More than two hundred and TWEEN
ty thousand Americans will spend
Christmas in Germany where one of
the most startling situations in his
tory exists-two races who little
more than one month ago were en-
gagged in combat are now co-operat-
ing for peace on earth.
In the German territory the inhab-
itants are preparing to aid in the fe-
licitations and there is evidence that
the sentiment is sincere.
Burgomasers of the various villages
are presenting Christmas presents to
the doughboys. Many of the people

Diary Of a Fashion Model
By GRACE THORNcLTFFE

Made Charming for Young Women.
Therefore, the less fabrics we demand.
the greater liberty can we allow our
selves in the choice of rich fabrics to
be used sparingly. Velvet is one of
them
Velvet is ornamental in itself and
needs little or no other decoration. In
deed the more trimming you add to
velvet, the more you overwhelm it's
particularly becoming color of velvet
1t should be allowed to act as an ade-
quate background and not be obscured<
by too much other decorative material.
The evening frock here shown is Of
striking simplicity yet it is rarely
beautiful. 1t depends more on its
color and the lovely color of the frock
for its effect than on the mere elabor-
ateness of decoration.
The velvet used is a brilliant cherry
red. 1t is cut in a very simple line
plain almost to scantiness in both the
waist and skirt. There is a deep V
neck in back and front, and the
kimono-like sleeve extends considera-
bly, below the shoulder---unlike most
of the other types of evening frocks in
vogua which abbreviate the sleeve to
next to nothing.
The sole decoration used on this
gown is the fall of lace at sleeves and
waist line. A beautiful bell-like fall
of lace, about six or seven inches in
depth, finishes the small sleeve and
reaches considerably below the point
of the elbow.
A similar lace is employed in the
sash drapery-the only contrast used
in the frock. A soft wide sash sur
rounds the waist, graduating until it
reaches a very narrow width at the
left. Here it is cIasped into bow
| through a small square buckle, and
large wide streamers float from the
waistline.
But the ingenious and novel touch
which makes this costume, simple as
it is, a striking one, is that instead Of
using a light colored lace as white or
cream, this lace is dyed deep blue. The
effect is exceedingly beautiful and,
i, while the loneliness of the lace is
justif1ably displayed, there is never
| theless a very obvious simplicity about
the frock which oommends itself IA
vorably these times.

LEATHER COATS.

The newest motor coats are made
of leather, and very smart and good
looking they are. One of the hand
soonest is a copy of an important
model and is made of very soft black
leather, as pliable as q wooden fabric
and quite as soft and much more dur
able. The leather hangs gracefully in
a long flaring effect from the shoulders
and has a narrow leather belt to hold
the fulness in. 1t is lined with an en-
bossed wooden material with a silken
surface, the color of which is a soft
dove gray. This coat is immensely
stylish.
Other leather coats are of dull
finish suede. They are lined with a
material which makes them not only
reversible but waterproof. Of course
nothing can exceed the comfort
leather coat gives. It is impervious
not only to rain but $50 to wind and
thus gives unexcelled service.

NEW BAGS.

A new bag which is at the same
time an apron is desiened fer knit
ting. 1t is made of black silk, lined
with red. A long handle slips over
the arm, the top flap of the bag
which slips down inside can be pull
ed out, and as it is fitted with very
long ribbon ends it can be tied
around the waist, thereby mailing
the pocket of the bag serve as a
holder for the yarn and the knitting.
This particular bag is extremely
smart, as bright red beads dot it
along the outside and form little
clusters in each corner.

Suffragists Are
Criticising The
Republican arty
A. G. Perritt, Hartford.

The Suffragists of Connecticut in
connection with the recent elections
have shown great interest in the at
utude of the political parties towards
woman suffrage. AS regards candi-
dates their sympathies were divided;
but as regards the new Importance
which has been given to women, they
are all agreed, and some of the lead
ers have been willing to talk for pub
hcation on the elections as they con-
cerned the women.
Mrs. Bennett Scores Republicans.
Mrs. M. Toscan Bennett, the newly
elected treasurer of the Connecticut
Branch of the National Woman's par
ty, was one of the women who took
an especial interest in the election
The elections just past" she said,
when asked her views on tibet subject,
have been of especial import to the
women of the state The Republi-
can party has shown itself to be Sc
curely entrenched in it's imperialistic
reaction. It has been only too will
ing to accept every sacrifice THAI
women could be induced to make to
promote the war. But when it came
to sharing the power of self govern
ment it has shamelessly side-stepped.
Being bound by it's national party
platform to equal suffrage, it has
lodged the issue in Connecticut by
borrowing the outworn fetch of states
rights.
Woman's Suffrage National Duty.
Republicans have been unable to
grasp the national and international
significance of woman suffrage at this
SURFING moment. They cannot or
will not see that woman suffrage is no
longer sectional question, but one of
national honor. The Republicans
have been stoutly maintaining that
they were behind the President. They
are right. They are-about a hun
dred years-behind him.
"a new young and progressive
spirit has leavened the Connecticut
Democrats for which Homer Com
mings and T. J. Spellacy are largely to
be credited. Their campaign shows
that they realize that. there is a new
spirit awake in the world. They
have met the suffrage issue fairly and
have spoken and worked for it. They
have demonstrated that they are sin
cere1y and directly behind the Presi-
dent, ready to back him up, confident
in his leadership. EIihu Root told
the Russian people that America had
free, equal and direct and secret suf-
frage. The German government has
just told the press the same thing.
What we want in America is an hon

Prussian one, in which women have
no place."

crude oils, somewhat scented. OF
course, this would be most objection
able to fastidious women in temper
ate climates, but the fact remains that
good oils, frequently massaged into
the scalp, will do more to stimulate
the growth of hair and to maintain a
healthy scalp than other remedies.

hollis an excellent preparation for

it is the only oil soluble in alcohol.

thoroughly during use. The castor

FLOWER HOLDERS.

Highly ornamental vases are at
tractive in themselves but, as flower
holders, they may be said to be par
tial failures, as they do not serve
their purpose to the fullest extent.
They rather attract attention to
themselves, than set off the blooms
for which they are designed. A vase
of plain material or color, or one on
which the design is obscure, is more
to be desired, as it presents the
flowers in their full beauty, and does
ut distract the attention. In the
same way, a vase of lusterware, of a
shade that blends with the flowers it
holds, is far more attractive than
one of contrasting color. Vases that
are to be used for all kinds of flowers
might better be green, of a dull
shade, as. this resembles the plain
coloring and is not noticeable.

BEADED BAGS

If every woman could do as she
wished the very first thing she would
buy after she had gotten her Liberty
bonds, helped the Red Cross and the
United War Work campaign and then
purchased her new suit, would be a
new bag. In fact I believe every
woman would be tempted to buy the
bag before the suit, and not stop at
just one, but indulge her fancy in
many.
Especially lovely are the handbags
this year. Perhaps their loneliness
is due largely to the beaded designs
which are by far the most popular
1t is possible to find such exquisite
color combinations in the beaded bags
such unusual effects and lovely har-
monies that one cannot but long for
many Of them instead of being con-
tented with a mere single specimen.
The beaded bag is a heritage from
grandmothers' day when exquisite
beads were threaded on canvas sur
faces by exquisite ladies who had TINS
and leisure to do such things.
1t is hardly possible to describe a
beaded bag, for its beauty lies in the
color effects rather than in the de-
sign. Some of the very old bags
show small houses and trees, a little
landscape, so beautifully done that
they are really museum treasures.
These, of course, are rare and costly,
but the beaded bag of today is round.
with the beads threaded round and
round the outside, with small bloss-
oms set In in brilliant and lovely col
ors. Some of the smartest bags
have chenille flowers blossomfng
among the beads. These of course
came from Paris and are as lovely as
one would expect them to be.
While the mounting and handles of
the beaded bags are for the most part
of the beads, some are finished occa-
sional1y with silver or even tortoise
shell, amber or horn.
Though leather is to be so much
used as a trimming this winter, the
shopping bag of leather is not favor
ed. It is a curious manifestation. In
this respect the ways of fashion MAX
ers suggest the situation of the woman
who says, "Oh, if I could just have
a new suit, a new hat, new shoes and
gloves and new bag at the same
time!" but who knows that. if she gets
| one new thing it will be old before
| the next new thing can be added to
her costume. 1t is as if the fashion
designers repented of their profigate
use Of leather and decided to exploit
silk, satin, beads and brocade for that
{ very necessary accessory, the bag.

THE MOTHER OF ALEXANDER.

Olympias was the mother of Alex
ander the Great. Philip of Mace
don, her husband, suspected her of in
fidelity and repudiated her. He,
tbereupon, married Cleopatra, niece
of Attalus. This incensed Olympias
and Alexander shared her indigna-
ton. The murder of Philip is at
tributed to Olympias. On Alexan-
ders death in 324 B. c., OIympias
seized the government and put to
death Aridacus, one of Philips sons,
who had claimed the throne, and his
wife Eurydice, as well as many of the
adherents of their cause. Olym-
pias was finally murdered after she
rad been defeated in battle. Her
death is said to have occurred about
