Chinese Fashions.

We are much indebted, Just at pres
emit. to the Chinese for inspiration in
interior decorating.
But now we are also indebted to the
Chinese for many charming things
about our clothes. This is partly be-
cause the French designers have looked
to that part of the orient for inspira-
ton 1t is partly, too, because it seems
to be easier now to make imports from
CHINA and Japan than from Europe.
Hence our shops are filled with lovely
bits of Chinese embroidery and bro
caded silk-and we must, perforce,
make them wearable
one novelty is the stock collar of rich
Chinese embroidery, with full Jabot
below 1t in front of lace or fine muslin,
lace trimmed. These jabost are often
made to give sort of one-sided effect
that is. they are much fuller on one
side than on the other. There are oft
en- little cuffs, quite snug. fastening
with srapers, To wear with these col
lara.
Another novelty is MADE nf Chinese
SILK, embroidered with metallic threads
This consists of three-piece sets, con-
sisting OF neck scarf. handbag and cap,
all lined with brilliant color, with
worsted fringe on the scarfs.

MOTORING.

There was a decided increase in au-
tomobiles in the District of Columbia
during the past year. but there is no
authentic way of telling how many.
Owing to the new law which goes into
effect today, which calls for a yearly
registration hereafter, it will be pos
sible to give exact figures.
The new law does away with the
perpetual license fee system that has
prevailed in the past Hereafter it will
cost the motor car owner 81 a year
for all cars up to twenty-four-horse-
power, So per year from twenty-four
up to thirty horsepower and $40 per
year for all over thirty-horsepower.
When the great increase in pOpula-
ton is taken into consideration the
percentage Of automobile accidents
Throughout the city 10 far below that
of 1915. Traffic signs throughout the
city have been increased at least 200
per cent.
The consensus of opinion among the
local automobile dealers is that. every
thing taken into consideration, bust
ness has been much better than was
to be expected at this time last year.
There have been but few changes In
during the year. Several new cars, in
GLIDING the Murray. Lexington. Olym-
plan, Stanley, Steam Car and Anderson.
have opened establishments in the city
during the year.
The District of Columbia Club Of the
increased its membership during the
year, until it now numbers about 1000
members.
Motor races were held at Bennins
track on Labor day and Thanksgiving
day and were largely attended.

FASHIONS

The graceful gown shown in the sketch
may be accepted as an example of the
dignified, conservative type of frock that
will be much worn during the coming
spring. To very large extent draperies,
at least the draperies that flare at all,
have been relegated to oblivion for the
time being, and the straight silhouette
is the desired and approved one.
Silk fabrics of all kinds are the logical
ones for spring, and it does not upset
the usual order of things that necessity
Is to some extent back of the urge for
silk garments for spring 1918. Silk and
satin tailored and sport suits will domi-
nate the suit field.
Despite statements to the contrary.
suits are really being worn to consid-
cradle extent this winter. The fact be-
comes more evident as the season ad-
vances and the weather admits of the

camoufage for what is really a very
fun pair OF boomers The fullness
s0 achieved by plaits falling from the
high waist line, making It impossible
to crush the most fragile of frocks

world like baby's rompers. and the
ample closing between it stiffened with
steels to keep 1t from sagging.

skirts an unknown annoyance. One may
venture out in ones srnartest frock with
never fear for it's future. And the

find the protector warmer and more salts
flying than any robe. To the sportswom-
an 1T IS of particular value.

WRIST RUFFLEs.

There are some ehcarming pieces of
neckWear in the shops-neckwear and
wristwear, too, for the wrist ruffies
that go with the stocks are distinc-
tive feature. The neckwear consists of
a stock of black satin, on a high. wired
collar of swiss or organdie The col
lar fits high and close to the neck at
the back, but the front turns down
over the black satin stocks. To the
collar is attached a double frill, jabot-
like, but quite stiff and starched.
Little wristlets go with the collar.
They consist Of narrow. frilled ruffles,
starched. that fasten snugly about the
wrist. Sometimes they are headed with
band of narrow black satin and some
times they are just basted into the end
of the sleeve.

CHARITIES.

Washington charitable organizations
and individuals last year did about
everything they ever did before, and
also performed heavy additional tasks
due to the war and particularly to the
entrance of this country therein. Spe-
cial movements aided such peoples
abroad as the Serbs. Firms. Ruthenians,
Syrians. Poles, Armenians, Jews and
Greeks, as well as those of larger and
better known countries
The Red Cross was distinctly leader
in all war charities, keeping pace by
its expansion in many new ways with
the calls made on it, while Its work
was most fully backed up by all local
societies. Almost every Washington
organization became to some extent a
charity organization. and many new
ones sprang into existence. Individual
sacrifices ran all the way from the self
denial of a child in foregoing toy or
candy to big gifts both Of money and
energy. Guardsmen's families were
agencies provided thousands of COM
forts for District boys; the District
gave Marshal Joffre $4,000 for French
war orphans; it's residents helped re-
habflitate devastated France; Washing
tons Red Cross fund totaled more than
$500. 900; the Red Cross melting pot
originated here: the D. A. r. provided
chocolate fund for soldiers. and every
District boy in uniform was provided
with Christmas present.
The charity ball in January ushered
in a long list of balls, bazaars and en-
tertainments for all sorts of relief
measures; national campaigns and
drives" were of almost weekly occur
renee. and there was at least one Tag
day" The Christmas membership drive
of the Red Cross and the successful
submission of the usual Fourteen OPP
portunities'' by the, Associated Chari-
ties closed up the year. All local chari-
ties suffered more or less from the
shortage in fuel and other staples and
from the high cost of living generally.

food shows were staged hero during
1917. OF far more Importance was the
organization in March of the American
State Exposition Association to work
for the erection of series of buildings
in the National Capital to house ex-
hibits from the states.
Governors from nearly all the states,
who were in the city to take part In
the inaugural parade, attended the
meeting and Endorsed the movement A
feature of the Inauguration this year
was the exhibit of the work of the va
rious government departments, ar
ranged to give the visitors from the
states an opportunity to see what
different branches of the government
are doing.

FAIRGROUNDS.

A new attendance record was estab-
lished and new activities Of social.

der the direction of Mrs. Susie Root
Rhodes the Fairgrounds department
experienced the banner year of its his

A department of the Fairgrounds that
attracted more than the usual amount
department. On each ground clubs of
boys and girls have been organized
which have, in addition to the purely
social features. such as dancing. plays
and pageants. hours when the members
of clubs receive instruction along edu-
catfona1 lines.
There were cooking clubs for little
girls. domestic clubs, where the moth
ers learn to be useful to their fam
flies: little mothers clubs, where they
care for children. and self government
clubs, where they were taught sense
of responsibility for the welfare OF
their neighbors. a sense Of self-re-
lance for their own welfare.
Industrial and vocational enterprises
were given an important place In the
playground curriculum during the year.
and an effort was made to greatly
widen the scope Of playground service
in this direction. AT the end of the
playground season exhibits of indus
trial work were held on each play
ground. and a permanent exhibit has
been arranged at Fairgrounds head
quarters. in the District building.
Special emphasis was given to out
door kindergarten work for little chill
dren. Playground kindergartens are
pure play along educational lines. The
work done is very elementary and the
classes have proved very interesting.

STEP TOWARD RATl0NlNG
GREAT BRITAIN is TAKEN

LONDON. January Am important
step toward rationing the nation with
regard to essential food supplies was
taken yesterday. when Baron Rhondda.
the food controller. issued provisional
model scheme to the local food com
mittees. The memorandum deals with
measures to prevent food queues; the
new powers of food committees; regis
tration of customers; registration OF
retailers: rationing of manufacturers,
caterers and institutions. and local vol
untary arrangements for adjusting
supplies. Appended is model ration
card.
To prevent food lines, Lord Rhondda
says, every customer should be regis
tered at one shop and not allowed to
deal elsewhere. Shopkeepers should be
required to divide supplies in fair pro-
portion among the registered custom
ers, and no shopkeeper should be al
lowed to register more customers than
he can conveniently serve
This scheme win be discussed by the
local committees with the wholesalers
and retailers. and the results reported
to the food controller.
