WEAR MUCH SATIN AND FUR
Clothes Worn by Parisiennes Are Rich
and MISUNDERSTANDING in Most
Cases Is Sober.

The Parisienne is dressing very well
indeed this winter, says Paris CORE
spondent Of the New York Herald. At
a recent five o'clock with tea and no
milk, but very appetizing cakes, the
women were wearing most becoming
long coats of satin trimmed with fur,
and with them satin hats with draped
crowns and brims turned back from the
brow in loose roll. The effect Of so
much satin and fur was rich and most
attractive. The coloring was sober
and the line very graceful.
Every coat looked rather like its
neighbor, but had something different
In it TO suit its wearer. One may say
that all were long and trimmed with
fur, with fur collars which fastened
close up and could be opened over the
shoulders; but some coats were slit up
the sides nearly to tie waist, others
were crossed over very far in front,
some had fur a yard deep all the way
rvund some had fur bands foot deep

SEEK BOND SLACKERS
TREASURY URGES REcANVAss TO
RAISE LOAN TOTAL.
Appeal Issued From Washington Con-
tains Twelve Suggestions
for Statesmen.

Washington, May IAN appeal to
all Liberty loan committees to inaug-
urate an intensive finish for the third
Liberty loan and to see that no pcs
sible subscription is overlooked, was
sent out by the treasury department.
The appeal contains twelve sugges-
lions of things that may yet be done
to make the third loan q big success.
The suggestion offered by the treas
ury department are:
lnaugurate a Buy another bond"
campaign, with the idea OF getting
those who have subscribed a little to
subscribe little more.
See that the employees of every in
dustrial plant have been canyassed,
creating, if possible, committees of
employees to complete the work. Find
out if any plants need recanvassing.
See if all stores and Office buildings
have been completely canvassed.
Call attention publicly TO the fact
that the desired twenty million SUBJ
scribers means one bond buyer to ev-.
cry five people, or practically one to
a family. Has your community re-,
sponded to this extent?
Many wealthy men and large insti-'
tutions are holding off on account of
paying large income taxes, hoping.
that their subscriptions will not be,
needed. Impress upon them that ev-l
cry possible subscription is needed and
remind them again that the schedule
of government payments on Liberty
bonds calls for no payments in the
month of June.
Follow up all pledges and see that
all of these pledges materialize into
actual subscriptions.
Check up to see that each individ-
ual and community has done its share.
Ascertain If those communities
where quotas have been reached are
alive to the necessity of containing
the battle for large oversubscription
and wide distribution.
Take advantage of the fact that
May / is pay day and a good day for
thousands to make initial payments.
See that individuals and firms
which benefit from war business in
crease their subscriptions in adequate
proportions.

Big Red Cross Diamond.

One of the finest and largest dia-
mOnds in the world has been presented
TO the Red Cross sale by the Diamond
syndicate of London. The stone,
which is of thes tint known as pale
canary, weighs 205 karats and is prac-
tically twice as large as the Kohinoor
f106 karats), 1t Is highly phosphores-
cent, and after brilliant illumination
emits the rays it has absorbed, thus
becoming self-luminous In the dark.
The stone, which originally weighed
80 karats and was discovered In 1901
in the Des Beers mines in Griqueland
West. has been cut in very original
and beautiful form at Amsterdam, a
feature Of the cutting being that
Maltese cross Is visible In the facets.
This popularity is only shared by the
Pitt Diamond.
Some idea of its value may be gain
ed from the fact that a yellow dia-
nond of SO karats, belonging to the
TOwn Jewels of Austria, is valued at
$4,000, and from the model of this

After repeated hammerings he woke
the lady up, and called to her to i'm

a raid was on and she was in great
danger on the top floor.
The reply he got was:
"Go away and let ne sleep. My hus-

Spring Suits to Be "skimpy."

The greatest fabric waste in a suit is
usually found in the extra material re-
quired for long coat, even though a
very narrow skirt is a part of 1t, and
for spring skirts are to be either quite
"skimpy," almost of the hobble type, or
else given Just enough width to insure
grace. No extra yardage is admissible.
The bolera jocket win undoubtedly
appear in many suits designed for
spring, and fabric and color combina-
tions win do their "bit" to help make
all fabrics go as far as possible and
still retain hold on grace and beauty
