 The manager of the Paris Grand opera revived Rameau's Castor and Pollux," and the result was ostrich-feather trim- ming oli our summer wraps and evening dresses. This seeming paradox is typ ical of the minds of the Parisian de- signers, They snatch at straws coming from any direction, but Gha most fre- quent source of their inspiration is, and always has been. the stage. Current events run the theatre a close second, per haps, but in peace times, when the headlines are less sensational, the theatre is an easy first. So when the cavalier and ladies of the time of the Grand Monarque strutted, singing, across the stage of the opera this spring the astute designers noticed first of ali the effect of their towering plumes on the public, and then they went out look ing for ostrich feathers. They stripped
 
 chiffon wraps, like the sketch; they dyed them and twisted them into won derful exotic flowers for corsage hou- auets; they descended to the obvious and put them on hats; they ascenGed to the original and edged the tops of boots with them. Rodier, the great fah- rie manufacturer, who watches all the straWs as carefully as any designer, toek them for the model of one of his new fall fabrics. Ostrich feathers were launched, and they are now making their bid for popularity on this side of the ocean, as the first of our autumn clothes.
 of the long interest to liauidate while GUIDES FASHION
 The theatre guides fashion in France, to be sure, but there is little prospect of its playing such a commanding rale in this country, even if America should declare sartorial independence of France, as a result of the war. France, though she occupies such large place in our hearts, is a small country, as we Americans understand size It has been a comparatively 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 toredoom the effort to failure. New York might influence fashions, probably would play a greater part in their de- termination 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 ribbon, as Paris does would be an impos- sibility. America is too big. By the time New York had succeeded in dis tributing it's models to the last demand ing woman, something else would be in vogue. And then there is the natural jealousy in one section of the vast conti- nent of another section; the tremendous

Planning a Great Battle

From How a Great Battle is Planned
 and Fought" by Capt. Jacques Rouvier
 of the French Military Mission to the
 United States in the Scribner.
 In planning for the offensive battle the first question to be decided is the To- cation of the sector where the offensive is to take place. This decision will be made by the general in command of the army. It is not an easy question, as would appear at first, for many con- alterations must enter into the choice of the sector which must be one that will allow all branches of the service to par ticipate in the battle, that is to say, the confguration of the ground should be fla vorable, so as to permit of the deploy- ment of great masses of men. Some sec- tors, such as the Argonne, being very hilly and very abrupt, are not favorable enc which is of importance to the enemy, so that it's loss would place him in an awkward position. Often this sector will be chosen because it is greater center of communication and thus forms vii tai part of the enemys lines.
 The offensive sector having been chosen the work of the staff will then begin and it's task will be a very long and difficult one, for the most careful con- sideratien must be given to the many details which are of the gravest impor- tance. This war is war of details. The side which has planned most accurately, without emitting anything, will have great chances of being victorious. The staff must draw also to the greatest extent on the imagination, in order to visualize what is likely to happen and to be able to realize what certain means will produce under certain circumstances. It must be able to realize what is hu- manly possible, and it must not count on superhuman achievements which, al- though sometimes accomplished by gall lant troops, should not be reckoned with as probability.

 Don't suppose that a mere war is going to make women lose sight of the advantage that a harmonious color scheme in dress can give them. AS a sex women have more feeling for color than men, they respond to it more quickly, they understand how to adapt 1t to practical uses better. and they certainly spend more time studying it in its relation to their compilations There is here and there an adventurous male soul who dares indulge his color sense in his shirts socks and ties, but he is one of the most popular targets for the genius of the "comic artist" and the shrapnel of the para grapher. Mill lions of masculine necks in this vast country are encircled with the same brand of white, shiny collar, no matter what the color of that neck may be Sombre shades of blue, brown, gray. and here and there timid green are exempted by the tailors as "men's wear" cclors. and he is brave spirit whc' dares transgress the dictum. To woman. however, the whole range of futurist palette is free. Let her take due thought for her hair and her complexion, and she may put together any shades she pleases. While we were under the influence of the Russian ba . lct her fancy certainly was as untram-
 meled as a bird in the blue; some women were walking rainbows

The radicals are at it again. They are agitating for the standardization of wemen's dress as a war measure Of equal importance with the consefya- tion of food Rumors of frocks all alike, cut by the millions and placed on the market for the coloners lady and Judy O'Grady, so that they may become sisters in their attire as well as under their skins, reach us from time to time through the sections of the daily press devoted to women's af- fairs
 Sometimes the arguments are quite learned The French revolution is freely quoted as being the event final ly responsible for the standardization of mems dress. To be sure, one of the first things that Napoleon did, when he reached the position of being able to set the fashion. was to make mems clothes as gorgeous and as com plex as they had been before the aho- lition of the Bourhens. But the effect did not last long. Sans culottism" had taken too firm a hold on mans affections. They soon went back to that dignified but ugly garment, the long trousers, and they have remained faithful to them ever since.
 Students of the history of costume cite this as an example, and tell us some hopefully same regretfuliy- that the present Armageddon will do the same for women. But then cone others-students, too, but students of the human nature back of the clothes, rather than of the clothes themselves and they give an emphatic no to the whole proposition.
 ''The standardization of women's dress has gone as far now as it ever will" is their contention.
 They eeBseae the fact that the mani fold occupations which the war has opened te women may, and probably will, dc a great deal toward breaking down the prejudice which has hitherto existed against the betrayal of one's profession in ones dress. One of sLe salient features of our metropolitan life is that all the shepgirls and stenegraphers try to look like women of leisure; that the. maid will ape the mistress oil her Sunday off, and that, ia shert. no woman is willing to con- cede that the motley of her means of livelihooa is the only wear.

 If the theatre guided fashion in our country as it does in Paris, we might see an untmely revival of Watteau fash ions, judging by the reception accorded to the Louis KY. gowns worn by Billie Burke in Henry Millers revival of 'Iha Marriage of Convenience" The town has gone mad over her hoopsAirts, and her powdered tresses.

MANS INSENSIBILITY
 TO TEMPERATURE

Another reason is the average mans absolute insensibility to changes in temperature-at least from the wom- ans point of view. He declares that there is a vast difference in warmth between his winter weight blue serge and his summer-weight, but no woman can see it. To her he is a mystery as he goes to his office on boiling Au- gust morning, in New York, clad com pletely in wool, with a high starched collar round his neck and thick leather shoes on his feet. Just as great d mystery is she to him in winter, with her georgette, sleeves, thin stockings and paper-soled pumps. Probably it is six of one and half dozen of the other.
 "At least" says the woman, T do change the fabric of my garments to suit the season"
 And though the mans response to that is a seernful Summer fursm yet. in the main. it is true that she does so, and he does not. An increasingly large number of men are wearing pongee and other light tissues in the torrid weather. but the difficulty uA keeping such things in order, their sens!tiveness to dust and the fatal fa- cility with which they wrinkle keen the great majority of males from in- dulging in them to any great extent

REPENTANCE AFTER THE FACT.

In a Liberty Loan speech at New
Orleans Secretary McAdoo took oc-
casion to voice his "infinite contempt
for anyone who would attempt to use
the present crisis of the nation for
partisan advantage. We hardly know
how to classify this remark. 1t hard
" falls under the head of deathbed
repentance-for Mr. McAdoo is very
live one, if his friends are to be re-
lied upon. 1t is more likely case
of repentance after the fact; for it is
we'll known that in the thousands of
appointments which have become ne
cessary in the administration of the
new revenue laws, great care has been
taken almost everywhere, to name
none but Democrats of the straightest
lace to these places, which oil come
under Mr.. McAdoo's supervision, and
where, if he had really wished 10
abolish partisanship, it wol Id have
been easy to find competent Repuh-
lican for every incompetent Democrat
who has been put on the pay roll.
There is no doubt of the sincerity
of Mr.. McAdoo's non-partisan appeal
in the matter of subscriptions to the
Liberty Loan. He would as soon have
a Republican dollar as Democratic
dollar. Mabe sooner. At any rate
he is getting more of them.
