color means to the other race. Each
is imbcdded in rs own way in the
national apparel
Eloweyer there is just a touch OF
weakness shown in the use OF biscuit
and blue since the warm weather be-
gan, and the combination of biscuit
and black, done in large splashes Of
one color against the other, is ap-
proved
TUNES of Biscuit Cloth.
Probably, the reason for the bold
Iuxtaposition OF black and biscuit in
the new costumcry is the fact that the
Chinese tunlc, in a modified twelfth
century form, retains its place in the
fashions 1t is not new. 1t is not
startling. 1t has not the grace OF
originality, but none of these defects
are important and none of these quail
tiles govern women today in their
choice of new apparel.
There is no possible reason why the
anxieties OF war should leave us dow
dy, i'll dressed, badly put together and
out Of form. The ugly, graceless,
The Oklahoma City times. [volume] (Oklahoma City, Okla.) 1908-1984, 1918-05-13

shabby woman is no help at any epoch,
and especially OF no help today.
No situation has ever been bright
ened by a woman allowing herself to
go to pieces in her appearance. Sell
respect, courage and increasing pa
triotism, not vanity are reasons for
the care of our looks these days. 1t
is a bad enough gloomy enough, sad
enough world as it is, without all OF
its women turning into shabby figures,
without an atom OF happiness or charm
in their appearance. -.
Therefore to link mp this bypath o'
thought with the main pathway IRON
which It emcrged--thcrc is necessity
for our taking thought OF our clothes,
but that does not entail the frenzled
running after novelty What IS good
and scrvlceable becoming and attrae-
tive. should be chosen. That should
be the motto OF every woman III her
cndcavor to look well today.
Economy in the Tunic.
All those who are interested in
clothes have impressed upon women
the admirable qualities OF economy in
separate tunic. One might really say
that the economy lies in the separate
skirt over which the tunic is worn,
but the juxtaposlton OF the two can
be twisted in any way that suggests
itself to the wcarer
When the tunc is widely opened at
each side, then the separate skirt be
comes a menace The oneplcce irock
is the only thing over which such a
tunic can be slipped, but the Chinese
method of slashing this long, outer
garment is not always adopted Tor the
very reason that it needs 20 carry an
entire gown beneath 1t. The medieval
trick, which closes the tunlc under the
arms, allows one to use separate
skirt and a separate blouse.
Whatever the combination Of gar
ments, the combination OF color is bis
cult and black among women who are
interested in following a first fashion
and one that has been proven durable
by the Frcnchwomen, who have ac-
ccpted it for the duration OF the war.
The real economy OF the tunic, how
ever. lies in its use over one-piece
irocks that are not fresh and ready TO
do service in the penetrating spring
sunlight. Such frocks look very well
in the dim days OF February, and
hanging in the closet during March,
but when the MAY sun falls upon them
showing up their dustiness, pulled
seams and other defects, one shrinks

from wearing them before the eyes OF
observers.
Here comes in the opportunity to
cover up these defects with the sep
arate tunic worn in other countries as
a means OF protection from cold. To-
day we may endorse II as a means OF
protection from shabbiness.
Biscuit a Neutral Color.
There is no limit to the coloring OF
these prevalent tunics They are made
in dull red, midnight blue. munitions
gray and Italian green, but biscuit is
the best shade TO choose, because OF It's
neutrality.
The hour is gone when a woman
chose colors and gowns out OF caprice,
because she knew that a full wardrobe
would allom her to discard what she
did not care for. Today none are so
rich that they go by this old scheme.
The multi-milionaire chooses as care
fully-very probably, more carefully
than the girl who Is earning wage
in a factory or shop, running an eleva-
tor or doing clerical work in the Red
Cross
Therefore, the shade of biseui, ap-
peals to the mind that knows how dan
gerous it is to choose bright colors for
limited and servieeable wardrobe,
The sketch shows a tunie Of biscuit
colored crepe de chine worn over a
slim one e-piece frock OF black satin.
Mind you, the satin has seen gaycr
and more fantastic days; it was once
the lining OF black tule and net eve
ming gown The flimsy material was
discarded, the foundation was used as
it is and the separate tunic was
dropped over il. The black satin
sleeves were cut short. and wide cuffs

the elbow. The tunie Is girdled with

under the back panel, leaving II free
To hang from shoulder to below knees
in the manner that prevails in all the
fashions OF the day The woman who
does not care for it has only to slip
her black satin girdle over the panel,
instead OF under il.
This tunic is worn over other kinds
Of skeleton froeks, and in such adap-
liability lie its economy and its charm.

MILITARY CRITIC {
DECLARED BEHIND
MAURICE AFFAIR
Col. Replngton Is Blamed for
Causing Military MuddIe'

LONDON, May lj--A great deal OF
attention is being attracted to the ar

server. in which The letter OF Major
General Maurice accusing the govern
ment Of making misstatcments about
the military situation is described as
'the most perIlous episode of public
life during the war"
Repington Behind 1t All.
The Observer says that General Mau-
rice is not the leading figure IN the
affair, and that the source OF the mis-
chief of Colonel Repington, the mill
tary critic working through the Morn
ing Post and that dubious sheet, the
"Naturalizcd News" What the OBJ
server refers to as the "Naturalized
News is the National News, a Sunday
sheet, started some time ago by a nat
uralized alien whose antcoedents, the
newspaper says, "ought to have pre-
vented the board OF trade from giving

Aimed to Stab Wilson.
The Observer declares the whole aim
OF the intrigue is TO stab IN the back
the present chief OF the imperial staff
Mai Gen. Sir Henry Wilson, because
Colonel Rcpington has a private enmty
against him and because the general
has been the chief military advocate Of

paper says this faction is playing the
