u. S. Films Direct
From Gen. PerShing

The pictures made for the Divi-
sion of Films not only have the
sanction of General Pershing, who
appreciates their tremendous i'm
portance in acquainting the people
at home with the great work
of its army abroad, but he has
done everything possible to facili-
tate the taking of these films. His
orders are that the Government
photographers shall have access
to every part of the front lines as
well as to those scarcely less in
teresting localities far behind the
front, where on miles of piers and
in acres of storehouses are gathered
the enormous supplies without
which our million and more men in
France could not exist. General
Pershing's interest in these war
films is, in fact, SO great that he
has declared Americas Answer
to be to great extent an account
ing of his stewardship in France
during the first year of America s
participation in the struggle. and
proud indeed is America of the
way in which that stewardship has
been brought to fruition.
Americas Answer will be shown
at the Opera House next Thurs.
day, November 81, at 1870 and 8.

VOGUE IN AMERICA
New York Could Not Rule Styles,
Fashion Writer Asserts.
Jealousies, Climatic Variation, Differ
enee In Mode Of Living, and
Many Other Reasons.

The theater guides fashion In
France, to be sure, but tAere is little
prospect Of Its playing such a COM
handing role in this country, even If
America should declare sartorial in
dependence of France, as a result of
h war, observes q New York fashion
correspondent. France, though she oc-
cupies such q large place in our hearts.
is a small country, as we Americans
understand size. 1t has been COM
paratively easy matter for Paris to set
the standard for the entire population
interested In the mode. For New York
to attempt to do the same thing, in.
the same degree, would be to foredoom
the effort to failure. New York might
influence fashions, probably would
play a greater part in their determines
ton and selection than any other place
in the western hemisphere; but that
New York should control the dress of
the country, down to the last detail of
the length of the sleeve, the placing Of
a RIBBON, as Paris does would be an
i~mpcssibility. America is too big. By
the fine New York had succeeded in
distributing its models to the last de-
manding woman, something else would
be in vogue. And then there is the
natural jealousy in one section of the
vast continent Of another section; the
tremendous climatic variation; the diff
ference in the mode of living; and q
thousand other less striking reasons.
The style influence launched in New
York would spread and widen itself
out of existence, as the rings made by
a pebble dropped in a pond lose them
selves as they spread from the point
of contact.
If the theater guided fashion in our
country as it does in Paris, we might
see an untimely revival of Vatican
fashions, judging by the reception &C.
corded to the Louis XIV gowns worn
by Billie Burke in. Henry Miller's re-
vival of, "The Marriage of Convent
ence." The town has gone mad over
her h%oop-skirts, and her powdered
tresses. Every woman who sees them
longs to try them on.

KEEPING HANDS MILKY WHITE
oId-Fashioned TalIow Recommended;
Feeds Tissues and Gives Hands
a Pleasing PIumpness.

If rubber gloves or loose kid gloves
are systematically worn during work
hours there is no reason why the hands
should become red and rough, but if
they have a tendency that way cold
cream should be rubbed in each night
and soft channels gloves donned. Per-
haps the treatment may be necessary
only every other night or only once a
week. Some hands redden and rough.
en- more easily than others, just as
some skins freckle or burn more cas-.
lily than others.
There is nothing like o~ld-fashioned
tallow to make the hands milky white,
according to an authority, and the
tallow will also feed the tissues and
give hard worked hands a pleasing
plumpness, for, be it known, only the
useless hand is softly rounded and
plump like a child's. Hands that do
work may be white and perfectly kept.
The nails and finger tips must be care
fully attended to, for housework first
betrays itself here. A visit to a re-
liable manicure nce a week will help
a great deal, and the trifing price
should be included among household
expenses.

BLousEs ARE COPIED
Partisan Bedroom NegIigee, Brought
Over by War Workers, Finds Fa.
vor in America.

The house Of Paquin invented a
bedroom negligee that was cut like
a medieval garment with square
sleeves. It was made Of satin, trim
med with lace and fur, and slipped
on over the head after the fashion of
a Chinese tunic. It was far more
modest and becoming than the usual
negligee which is open in front, and
far more protective against chill airs.
The war workers who brought 1t
over from Paris as a novelty have
found that it is already copied in our
shops and sold at one-third the price
paid for it at the house Of Paquin.
1t is the new successor to the room
robe that has existed for over a CEN
fury, and it promises to become the
popular garment Of the moment.
