place as ermine, which was once used
by the c1arS Of Russia, who took the
best that the forests offered and ale
lowed London and Paris to buy the
rest. The American mind laughs at
the alleged exclusiveness of squirrel,
because with US it's the commonest OF
peltries, and we will never be per-
suaded that we cannot go to the park,
the back yard or the riverside and
get as many hides as we want
Squirrel Used With Fine Cloth.
At the French openings in August
an immense amount of this Russian
squirrel was used, and one has little
doubt that there are quantities Of the
American kind that will instantly be
put into action and spread over the
continent on the surface of women's
clothes.
1t is soft peltry and unusually be-
coming to those who can stand gray
tones. 1t Is not as becoming as Hud-
son seal or errhine. but It combines in
an unusually pleasant manner with
colored velvets and rich cloths.
The new French apparel shows e IN
the most extravagant afternoon suits
and, by the way, the French have
sent over suits in quantities. 1t is the
psychological time to revive them, and
the American shops have been show
ing them for two months as the lead
ing Factors of dress. 1t is believed by
the prophets that they will overrun
one-piece frocks.
Whatever the future, at present
tnere Is strong undercurrent of pref
erence for coats and skirts. 1t is prob
able that most of the autumn selling
WIN be on that line. The majority of
american women feel more content
to get coat suit as the trump card
In their wardrobe and then to make
up their minds later as to what is to
be done to supplement- this suit.
The best kind of ma terial is used for
the coat suits, and there is a wide
variety Of choice, from velvet down to
blanket wooden. With all Of them fur
Is used. and, with the best, squirrel is
preferred
Afternoon Suit Of Velvet and Fur.
The prophets also believe that wom-
en- will go back to close-fitting jackets
and narrow. short skirts for all after
noon usage. The blouse is not even
to be considered; if it exists, it is HID
den. Topcoats of fur will be worn
over these jackets and skirts, when
the weather demands it.
The sketch shows fashionable suit
which is reminiscent of much that we
have had In olden days. The material
is violet velvet, and the jacket, which
is cut like a straight Chinese tunic,
buttons down the side. That is a new
trick which one must remember. These
buttons are of fur, and it is another
new trick to make the fastenings of
fur. The coachman's collar, the cuffs
and the band at the bottom of the coat
are also of peltry. The low waist line
is ornamented with an oriental design
done in fine gold metal threads.
The small barrel muff with this
suit is unchanged in shape from last
year, and the only reason that the
may not be able to use the
muffs they possess, is that they must
match the pe1try on the suit.

Quaker Asks Aid
For French Towns
Absurd, He Says, for Amer
leans to Send Architects
to Rebuild Them

1T Is an lmpertinence Tor Americans
to talk OF rebuilding the devastated
region OF France" declared j. Henry
Scattergood, of the American Friends
service committee, in lecture at the
Friends meeting house, 221 East Eff
teenth Street, yesterday.
He has recently returned from the
district that the French proudly call
ia France reconQuise" and others
refer to as the devastated area. He
gave several reasons why Americans
should not talk of 'such absurd thingo
as adopting French towns"
One Of the principal reasons, he
said, is that the French can do it bet
ter themselves. There is need Of
money, Of course, and there Americans
can help; but tho idea of sending
American architects and builders over
there. except to erect temporary homes
strikes Mr.. Scattergood as overzealous
to the point Of presumption, consider
ing that the BeauX Arts supplies archi-
tects for America.
"'The French committees can handle
the thing very well" he said. What
is tho use of forming little organize
tions on this side to do it? And yet
we hear of womens colleges in Amer
lea deciding to save France. Send
money, by all means"
He said, however, that temporary
constructive work in France is impor-
tant. and told Of what the English and
American Friends have done along this
line, especially in setting up portable
houses in the ruined villages. With
lumber cut by Canadian forestry bat
talions in the Jura Mountains. he said.
the Friends. cooperating with the Red
Cross and other bodies. have built and
furnished a great many small houses.
The fact that he had been unable TO
verify single recent "atrocity" story
led Mr.. Scattergood to believe that the
Germans had changed their tactics,
aiming their "frightfulness" at prop
erty instead of at persons, but with
the Same object-to dishearten the
French. Both tactics had failed, he de-

Delegates Decide That if

Resolutions advocating the ous;iny
OF Newton u, Baker as Secretary of
War in favor OF "a man who is ag-

yesterday at the annual meeting OF the

Following babel OF heated discus
ion, it was decided that the delegates,
Is individuals, were unauthorized to
'ote for their organizations on the

majority of the attendance. The de-
