Did Not Borrow to Buy Bonds.

The Federal Reserve Bulletin says that
one of the most encouraging and crafty
ing features of the Third Liberty Loan is
that apparently there has been little use
of bank accommodations for the purchase
of the bonds It estimates that probably
more than 80 per cent of the bonds are
already fully paid for.
The financial statements of the various
Federal reserve banks indicate, according
to the Bulletin, that not much borrowing
from the banks was done by the subscrib-
ers to the third loan. They either paid
cash or bought on the installment plan.
This eases a great deal the burden Of
the banks, upon whose shoulders rests
the financing of the business and indus
try of the country.

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
WHEN the imported models were
w being shown at the openings last
spring I remember very distinctly the
few garments displayed which were
made of tricolette. One dress in par
ticuiar I have in mind. and as | stood
before this combination Of red ana
black tricolette, ! thought how sleazy 1t
looked. The long empty sleeves seemed
to Lang at the sides, of the figure like
two wet ostric. feathers. Somehow it
didn't look very alluring. but it was new,
and It didn't take long for the American
textile makers to turn their machines to
the making of a tricolette. All they
need Is a hint to lead them and they
can work out perfection. 'Shis they did.
for the tricolette that Is the rage and is
now used for frocks is a firm weave.
yet lacks none of the sickness that was
a feature of the original import.
1t is difficult to say just how far this
rage will go. but certain it is that at
present all the women are doing their
utmost to get at least one frock of tri-
coiette. Not only are they using this
texture for dresses, but for suits and
for the long coats. | must admit that
the suits and the coats that are made
OF tricolette and trimmed with huge
collars and cuffs are alluring: really.
they are stunning.
The makers of separate skirts are
also showing models of tricolette. One
of the newest of these designs is illus
trated on the figure today. The skirt
is straight, with oddly shaped pockets
on either side, that are trimmed with
buttons covered with the material. Silk
fringe exactly matching the color of the
tricolette finishes the lower edge of the
pockets. This skirt ooks very smart
with either a chiffon or georgette blouse
The plaid separate skirts have become
very popular. This is very likely because
a wool plaid skirt is a serviceable, prac
teal garment Surely no one can deny
that. The skirt shown at the left of the
figure is a skirt made in combination OF
plaid and plain material. The upper
part Of the skirt is of the plain. and the
lower Of the plaid. Both the plain and
the plaid are used in the construction OF
the belt.

"A MESSAGE TO SHUT-NS
FROM WOUNDED SOLDIERS
The Spirit That Makes Them Learn to DO Ne,o Things Because
They Can No Longer Do the Old Teaches Us the
Finest Thing in Life Is Service

THERE is a marvellous and glorious
Il lesson in the war for shut-ins-for
ell those who suffer the pent.up pain
of body and soul that comes 90 men
and women deprived of normal
health.
There is the great lesson that being
of use in the world is, after all, the
thing that counts. 1t is taught 20 us
by the soldiers who come out of the
war crippled and broken in body but
whole in spirit. And that spirit, shin
Ing through their faces. makes them
plunge into work of learning a new
kind of usefulness, with a smile that
has no self-pity in 1t.
. Self-pity! At that street corner
stands a mar with two arms and two
legs. Everything about him is loose.
Except for the time he looks up to
eye passing women his head seems as
purposeless as the hands and feet.
S~elf-pity? All in a mans own heart
lies the kingdom of his W happiness.
Legs do not count. Arms, even eyes.
For that mar on the street corner had
all these. All. but the shut-in will
say, IF | had his priceless gifts" But
II is not SO. If you had his priceless
gifts they would be liStlesS gifts, for
with that body goes that soul. Men
and women are not made piecemeal,
With your soul came the broken body.
But would you trade for the broken
soul? Would the soldier trade?
TN THE world the only thing that
i counts is service. 1t is the thing
that buys love and a real place in the
human family. So often a shut-in
earns only the pity of the world. She
withdraws from the human family,
pitying herself so much that there is
not much else to do but pity her. Our
soldiers. incapacitated, do not want
pity. Already some who cannot re-
turn to the lines are busy learning
new things to do in the world, not
stopping to worry themselves about
the things they cannot do. What
difference does it make who does
which? The big thing is to get the
worlds work done-each a share of it,
We will not pity our soldiers. We
will love and respect them. They of
all men have carved h supreme
place in life which all the dullinG
tread of the ages cannot wear away
Our invalids and shut-ins cannot, OF
course, have the keen happiness OF
knowing they laid down the birthriSht
of normality in the high cause of the
