SATIN AND VELVET
Rich Materials Plentiful Despite
 Threatened Shortage.
Only Thing That Seems to Be Scarce In Paris, Says Correspondent, Is
 Really Hard Wearing Cloth.

We are threatened with deficiency of dress material for the coming year, but in the meantime the shops are well supplied with everything but really hard-wearing cloth, writes a Paris cor respondent of the London Times. All such things as satins, silks and velvets are to be seen in abundance with many variations on one theme.
 Perhaps the most popular material is stamped velvet of various kinds, for coats, evening eloaks, trimming in- stead of fur, and even for dresses, waistcoats and hats. Satin still is the most popular material for afternoon dresses; it is generally black. Often, now, bold embroidery design in ivory wool or silk trims a satin tunic and gives it a lighter note and richer touch. Indeed, embroidery of all kinds promises to come back into fashion. That those who are employed to work on it might do more useful work Is an argument that dressmakers do not see; dressmaking in France, they maintain, must be allowed to flourish, not as luxury, but as a national in- dustry.
 Boots are less high in the leg than they were and not many are made al- together of leather. The eloth-topped boot is the one most worn, and the all- suede is among the most fragile. The buckle shoe is worn again at home, and the very high heel is more often seen at home than in the streets, where it is unbecoming and dangerous. The national boot, wherever it has been found, is said to be satisfactory.
 Millinery is becoming. Black satin hats with no trimming are worn with neat veils. Brown panne hats and gray panne or satin are good. The small toque grows in favor; the high, heavy crown is dying out. The big picture hat is still in fashion, but, as a rule, smaller hat is more practical as well as more attractive.
 Everyone uses a small bag, in silk or beads or stamped velvet, with mount of tortoise shell or silver, or else a bag of shiny leather on short strap. This last is more of a purse than a bag and it can be slipped into the small huff or carried in the hand. The long bag which hangs on the arm is pretty, but not practical.

SYSTEM IN WATERING PLANTS
System of Continuous Mostening Found to Be Better Than Drench-
 ina of Soil at Stated Intervals.

Plants should not be watered at any old time and in any old way. They may thrive in spite of your method of watering them, but why not care for your plants in the most approved way?
 Lucien Daniel, French botanist, has discovered that young hothouse plants and slips of vegetables, as well as flowers, thrive far better by a system of continuous watering than by drench- ing the soil at stated periods.
 The new method depends upon the law of capillary attractions. Near each plant is placed a jar containing water, into which is dipped one end of a strip of linen or cotton, whose other end lies near the plant. With this uninter- rupted supply of water, drop by drop, the plants thrived, greatly outdistanc- ing other plants. which were submit ted to an intermittent drenching.

RECOVERS HEALTH
 IN RECORD TIME
Well Known Arkansas Man Re- covers Health From 0rgatone
 and Is Happy.

A great specialist at one time said j: "Stomaeh trouble is the curse of the American people" Nine out of every ten people we meet suffer from stom- ach trouble in some form. 4 chain is only as strong as it's weakest link, and the weak link with us seems to be the stomach. In other words you ean- not be q well woman or man with & diseased stomach. Orgatone, the new system of system cleanser. manHfae- tured from the medicinal properties gathered in many remote parts of the world. stands without a rival as remedy for the ills of the stomach. It often relieves indigestion and dyspep- sia with the first dose.
 Following is the signed testimonial of Mr. J. A. Story. who resides at 1908 East 18th, street, Little Rock. He says:
 T had stomach trouble. nervous and Indigestion for some years. My food would ferment in my stomach, causing gases to form, and was more or less bloated. I was very nervous and rest less ana cOulu not sleep at night. l had tried different kinds of medicines and doctors, but nothing seemed to help me. I had read In the papers about the good work Orgatone was doing and the cures that were being effected by its use and I decided to try it. After the first bottle I pain- lessly passed a quantity of gall stones and commenced to improve right from the first. am feeling fine, in fact can say that am entirely cured, And will give all the praise to Orga- tone."

Piano Box Closet.

only 51s feet from the floor, and of such size that the large bureau and chiffonier, placed diagonally across the corners, hid them entirely from view, and yet permitted free access to them.
 In another room a piano box, set on it's side in the corner, became a closet, the front being converted into a door, the whole covered in panel effect with conventionally decorated burlap. With strips of molding to separate panels and knobs screwed into the top, it looked to casual observers merely like an ornamental screen. This idea could also be used for a broom and bucket closet on a back porch or out side the back door.

knittina Skirts pispIace Raos.

Knitting skirts are robbing the ubiquitous knitting bags of some of their favor, for with a knitting skirt no one need have need of the bag. These skirts are simple, shirred skirts with large pockets on the hips, quite ample enough to carry yarn, knitting needles and the numerous other access sories that usually go in the knitting bag. The broad crush girdle that fas- tens at one side relieves the skirt of all possible severity.

MAKING MORE CLOSET ROOM
Piano Box, Camoufiaged to Make 1t Appear to Be an Ornamental
 Screen, Solves Difficulty.

In house where closet and storage space were unsatisfactory, these ar engagements helped:
 A second rod was placed across one closet about three inches from the ceil- ing. On this were hung tbe less ire Quently worn garments and a pole with a hook on the end was used to reach them.
 In the top of another closet pulley was set and large trunk was thereby hoisted out of the way.
 Two corners of a large, closetless room were fitted with shelves with curtains in front and rods for coat hangers beneath. These differed from the ordinary makeshift closet in being

Blue for Eveninu.

Blue seems to be favored color for evening this year; sometimes it is tur- quoise blue, sometimes a misty blue lilac, sometimes a rich Chinese or tapestry blue. One stunning dinner gown is of hyacinth blue meteor with tunic drapery of silver gray Georgette bordered with deep hem of the blue satin. The train of Georgette veils 8 panel of silver tissue embroidered in blue bends.

GisIett an Easy Boss.

The Republican minority of the house of representatives is not work ing under such restraint as it has been accustomed to feel for the past six years. Congressman GiUett of Massachusetts is the acting minor ity leader in the absence Of James |. Mann. and members of the house and the gallery habitues note the diff ference. Gflett is comparatively 'eaSy boss" He is neither arbitrary nor severe. He is just as much of stickler in dealing with the ma jority leaders as was Mann, but he is not quite so sarcastic and bitter in his retorts. Mann had way Of saying vicious things; Gillett Is a mild-man- nered man, affable and agreeable, but has q certain frmness that gives him the respect of his opponents.
 Gillett has adopted a different meth cd in the matter of delegating work to others. Mann had a finger in every pie and took charge of the minority side on almost every bill that came be- fore the house. Gillett, as ranking Re- publican on the appropriations com mitree, many times was pushed aside while Mann as minority leader took the leading minority part in handling appropriations Gillett has dele gated to each ranking minority mem Der of an important committee the duty of handling legislation coming from that committee. That gives many members a chance to show what they can do and also gives more mem- bers q greater interest in the proceed ings of the house.

forum is saucer-shaped and sloping,
so that every seat in the house is a
good one; the sections are so num-
bered that seats may be reserved in
advance. The theater is placed on
the highest point in each camp and
nearby are grouped the camp post
office. the library and the hostess
houses, making a small town within
itself.
Nor is tho utilitarian value Of
these theaters overlooked, for on the
tall tower that comprises the stage
loft, the training soldiers have q
point OF vantage for wig-wag sig
mails, giving them practice In long
distance signalling that is sure to
prove useful in the practice of actual
war.
Each theater Is provided with
motion-picture booth, asbestos-lined,
and the stage Of all of them has an
asbestos curtain. The lighting eff
fects are similar to those used in
city theaters.
Ordinarily, the cost Of operating
such series of theaters, tents and

but the managers have met with
such patriotic cooperation as to put
these entertainments within the
reach Of every soldier.
Operating expense has been re-
duced to such a practical and patri
otto basis that the actual cost of
these performances to the soldiers
will range from five cents to twenty
five cents q seat, with majority at
ten and fifteen cents.
Even at these bedrock prices it is
realized that there will be many SOL
diers who cannot afford to attend
many performances, but even this
has been provided for.

Camp Activities has devised a book
Of coupon tickets In two sizes. One
book sells for 81, and contains TWEEN
ty coupons good for admission; an
other sells for SIS and contains tick
cts Of admission to one hundred
performances.
They are called "Smileage Books"
and the coupons they contain are
good for seats at any performance
at any camp theater.

But now, to buy more than one pound

Raymond B. Fosdck, Chairman OF
the War Department Commission ON
Training Camp Activities. Is enthu-
siastic about this newly created en-
tertainment plan. He writes:
Il remember standing on the
streets of Columbus shortly after
Villa had devasted the village, watch
ing our 5000 soldiers come over tbs
railroad tracks into town IN the
nothing for them 10 do there-no
movies, no Libraries, no place to write
letters, no homes TO which they
could go-nothing but saloons and
well-organized Red Light district
In this war we are driving those
vicious agencies out Of business and
setting up clean entertainment IN
their place. This has a direct bear
ing on the health Of our army, and
is an absolute necessity IN maintain
ing the morale Of our men"
And this testimony Is amply sup
ported by Secretary Of War Baker,
who, writing to Chairman Fosdick,
declared:
"A proper amount Of clean, whole
largely to the happiness of our SOL
diers IN camp and is fundamental in
experimenting their physical and
military training.
ITO make such entertainment
readily available for all soldiers is
one Of the most important duties Of
the War Commission for Training
Camp Activities, and the work must
be continued and extended.

tainment projects will be consoii-
