Notes From Fashions

Accessories are playing a more i'm
.portant part in, .women's@ wardrobes
every day. The art of the accessory is
beginning to develop to tremendous
proportions. Herein perhaps lies the
silver lining to the cloud of clothes
conservation. BY losing her hold on
one avenue Of dress; woman uncon-
sciously developed the possibilities in
another direction. 1T
From ribbons can be evolved the
quaintest sorts Of dress accessories
trimmings. Take. for instance, a lit
tie overbodice seen in a shop. 1t is
made from two squares Of brocadsd
ribbon, the back section being made
to hang a few inches longer than the
section in front. The whole is sinn-
ply bound with a plain piece Of satin
ribbon. The color scheme is green
and orange and black, the background
of h silk being green and the bind
ing black. Under this is worn a net
guimpe, while the skirt may be any
thing hat happens to be a part Of
ones wardrobe at the moment.
The fchu is another important
dress fixing, especially during the
warmest weather. Take a 1chu of
net or organdy and apply it even to
a street dress OF dark blue satin or
taffeta, and the whole takes on an
appearance Of GOODNESS not approach
ed before.

scheme of Transforming some OF our
boats Into horse boats which involved. of
course, tearing OUT the insides OF them
and building stalls for the horses, and
had just got up to a transportation
capacity Of about 10000 horses a month.
Gen. Pershing indicated, however,
that under reversed conditions with or
CARNATIONS returning to the United
states they would not need any more
horses, and we Immediately stopped the
transforming OF boats thus saving $780,

problems as they come up each one Is

I'm the handling of contracts In the
War Department l am working along
TWO lines. 1 issued an order putting in
the hands of the Director of Operations,
Gen. Jervey, the cancellation OF all con-
tracts referring to construction, that Is
the Kind OF construction that goes up
around camps. The eighty division pro-
gramme and eighteen divisions in this
country meant the increasing OF camp
facilities at various camps. and in some
cases II meant the doubling Of the ca
pacity.
The problems involved in stopping
this work lie with Gen. Jervey. The
problems connected with the stopping of
contracts for supplies lie with Gen.
Goethals, and all army contracts are
handled with reference to their stopping
by those two Officers.
Similar organizations have been
established abroad since the signing Of
the armistice. Immediately after the
armistice was signed we cabled Mr..
Stettinius making him the personal rep
resentative OF the War Department In
question OF the cancellation of contracts
abroad. and he has authority to deal in
our name with all questions relating to
the procurement Of supplies, ETC.. from
foreign nations for the army This had
developed into a very large and i'm

C0BLENz AN OLD FORTRESS.
Americans VIII Occupy Capital OF
Rhenish Prussia.

Coblenz. the bridgehead on the Rhine
which the American army will occupy,
Is at the confluence of the Moselle and
Rhine rivers and dates back to tn,
third century. Formerly It was
fortress of the first class, but since the
Franco Prussian war II has occupied
a secondary place as compared to
Cologne. Mainz, Strasburg and Metz.
Coblenz had a large wine trade be-
cause Of Its situation with respect to the
wine, growing coutries in the valleys OF
the Moselle and the Rhine. On the east
bank of the Rhine opposite Coblenz Is
the famous fortress OF Ehrenbreitstein.
The new fortress was built early in the
nineteenth century. The old one played
an important part in German wars and
was captured by storm by the French
in 1899.
Some parts of the town are very old
and have quaint winding streets lined
with buildings erected in the Middle
Ages The bridge of boats to Ehren-
breitenstein is one of the sights Cob
lenz Is the capital OF Rhenish Prussia.
Its population is about $4,000.
