and hourly Oh .nging Of costumes. At
the seashore the bathing suit and its
accessories are a question Of great mo-

occupation in life is to look stunning
no matter what world tragedies are go

For generations Frenchwomen have
bathed barelegged, because they
dressed for the bath in the little
wheeled cabins that could be rolled
down to tho waters edge, permitting
Madame to step into the waves with

there Is a tendency to adopt the can

cothurnes. These como half way up

Whether or not the war is response
BILE for a newly aroused feeling of mod
esty, many smart Frenchwomen are
adopting tho American custom Of
wearing bathing stockings. Great care
must be exercised in selecting hose of
a fast color owing to the poorness OF
the dyes. for most Of the black and
blue silk stockings one buys nowadays
have the unpleasant habit of crocking.

runs from them a stream of such
blackness that, gathered up in INK
wells, it would make an excellent writ

AS long as the bathing suit remains
dry 1t looks smart: but once wet, 1t
often loses its chic and appears be-
draggled when Madame energies from

to decide for me that we would have

said one mother the other day.
That very mother should make it a
part OF her war time service to tell ten
other wcmen the same message; to
explain to them that with ali the sink

hot only Is the supply reduced but
that ships cannot be spared to bring
more from Cuba and the more remote
ports. So the only thing left to do Is
to eat less ourselves and send more to
the boys at the front.
Basng its appeal on the avail

tration asks every household to reduce

this quantity will be doing a pa

then We are enjoying double the ra-

the hope vas expressed that every
woman present would become a
truth teller. Not that all the women
had not always been habitually truth
full, but that there is now a need for
positive truth telling, a need for or
ganized effort to tell the real truths
OF why we are in this war. IA need for
truth as an antidote to the German
propaganda which has insidiously
crcpt over this country.
There is a book of l01 German lies
which has. been going the rounds. To
correct these lies is not enough a set
OF 1o1 truths should he compiled to
counteract them; good, positive, sea-
going truths, d sort of endless chain

To apply this idea to the food si:ua-
tion there should be systematic, or
ganized method of food truth telling.
Americas club women and those who
are feeling day after day the pulse OF
public life know a good dea, of the
MINIS and accomplishments of the
United States Food Administration.
They know why we are asked to save
food and why We are asked to save
different commodities at different
times.
But the great mass OF American
womanhood is by no means of this
class. As the cab driver said, 1t is
"the mass of the people who make up

7TO those who lived through the
epoch making days of Septem-
Der, 1914. when the Germans
were practically at the gates of the
city, Paris has recently presented
much the same aspect. Then Gallieni
was the ruling spirit OF the hour, his
calm presence the inspiration OF those
who remained to stand or fall with the
city beautiful. And, with his help,
Joffre threw back the Hun and Paris
was saved.
To-day also there are two men
whose names inspire confidence: Foch
at the front--and in his military
genius every one has falkland the
wonderful 77-year-young Clemenceau,
whose dlctum. The Government will
never capitulatel" has given courage
to the Parisians. They are convinced
that the barbarlans will never march
under the Arc de Triomphe save as
prisoners OF war, and that the long
threatened bombardment of the city
will never take place.
Undoubtedly the streets are less
crowded; there Is no longer any sour
rying across corners to escape the
ruthless chauffeur. Taxis stand idle
and many of tile smaller shops have
put up their shutters. Even some OF
the big stores have vans standing at
their doors carting away to safety
their art treasures and more valuable
merchandise. And yet the movies and
the theatres that remain open are
filled and the department stores seem
to have as many customers as ever.
The restaurants. fashionable and un-
fashionable, hold their tables at q
premium. and the boulevards last Sun
day were black with promenaders.
Ready for American Buyers.
The world OF fashion goes on also.
and In all the big ateliers fall and win
ter models are being prepared fever
ishly for the influx of American buy
ers who are due to arrive next month.
This weeks steamer brought the first
of them to Paris.
There was much questioning whether
or not the Paris modistes would pre-
pare their autumn collection of hats.
They made their first models last week
as a feeler to learn what the season
might be for foreign buyers, and the
fact that a representative of one of
the most important New York firms
had already arrived served as the

Always at this time of year there
is a great showing of small articles Of

pearing.
There Is no decided change from the
small garments of last year except
that in SOME instances touches of
bright color are introduced in beaded

OF gray harmonizing beautifully. The
moleskin forms one side OF the cape
like wrap and falls diagonally across
one shoulder. while the fox joins down
the back and forms the other.
Perhaps because of the cost of an
entire fur garment there nave been
brought out many fur trimmed coats

The manufacturers seem determined
to meet the demand for sensible and
enduring garments. The straight
cut long enveloping coat is seen often
among the new things. 1t Is built
for service and comfort. and there is
nothing fancy about 1t.
Now, all Of us know that a heavy,
clumsy fur garment Is neither pretty
to look at nor becoming to wear.
