Therefore, when somebody does dis
cover a blouse that is simple and yet

as something of u genius, declares a
writer in the Washington Star. The
little blouse shown in the sketch is an
excellent example Of the smart blouse

which extends over the shoulders and
hangs low on the sleeves.

will be required.

Laised by Loans.
About $15O,0OO,OO0,OOO of the to-
tai war cost has been raised by war
loans of various nations and compar-
atlvely little by taxation. The public
debt OF the principal entente allies is
calculated at approximately S105.-
OOO,O00,000, or more than twice as
much as the aggregate debt Of the
central powers, set at $45,OOO,OOO,-
OOO. This does not take into consid-
Grafton debt incurred since last Nav.
The enormous size Of the war costs
and debt is illustrated by compari-
son with the ante-war debt of the
seven principal belligerents. which
did not exceed S25,OO0,000.OOO. The
cost of supporting this debt was onlv
about Sl,00000O,OOO year. Here
after the annual burden to paw inter

be not less than $10,0OO,00O,OOO. and

off the enemy for forty-eight hours

All of this time the Boches poured
