Mrs. Howe's Daughter
Her Volume of Chatty and
Charming "reminiscences

MEMORIES fInHd s., GRAVE Az; AND GAY BY Florence
pp 343. Harper Bros 'A'' ''o'
We confess that it was with som.
feeling OF apprehension that we re-
garded the announcement of this VOL
ume 1t was only little while ago
that we read that marvclously interest
ing Life of Julia Ward Howe" bv Mrs
Hall and her sister, and we feared that
the present work would almost of ne
ccssty by either largely repetition Of
IL or an antl-climaX after it. For that
thought We now present ourselves be.
lore Mrs. Hall in sackcloth and ashes.
True, that fear might have been war
ranted and have been realized in some
other similar case. But we ought to
have known that it could not be in the
case of a writer so opulent in interest
ing memories as this daughter of Mrs.
Howe. -
so the book proves to be just as fresh
and original as though the other had
never been written. and to be quite
worthy to stand beside it in personal
ana historic interest. And it does
sparkle with interest on every page
About Charles Sumner, for example:
he had wonderfully beautiful white

offered his hand, on the street. to Rob

because of speech which he had re-
Gently made in the Senate Again, he
indignantly rebrAed a member of the
Howe household for saying that the
clock was "out of kilter," insisting
mat there was no such word as "kilter"
IN the English language-as a matter
OF fact, it was in the dictionary. Mrs.
Hall shrewdly points out what was one
OF the serious flaws in Summers noble
mind, namely, lack of sense of humor.
we cannot lay that to the charge of the
younger Charles Francis Adams, how
ever; not even when he was remon-
strated with at Harvard-as an under.
graduate-for wearing a shockingly
bad hat, and promptly replied, "An
Adams can wear any sort of hat he
wishes!" But what are we to say of
George Bancroft, distinguished in office
and in letters, venerable in years, and
patriarchal of beard, pleading with a
young lady partner at ball, Call me
George!"
The book is full of such delicious
touches, which are no more trivial nor
sosSlpPy than the things which have
made Boswell famous, which are always
full of human interest and of illuml-
mating significance, and which never
show so much as suspicion of malice.
Errors of fact are gratefully few, the
only one calling for correction being
Mrs. Halls reference to her uncle's
statuary which crowns the Washington
Capitol as a statue of "Liberty"; mis-
take which is made by half the writer's
and speakers who ever mention that
statue of Freedom. We owe the author
thanks for recalling that once famous
minstrel verse, heard nightly on the
stage during the Crimean War and
loudly applauded in token of American
sympathy with Russia against the AL
lies:

NEW SILHOUETTE
MAY BE ADOPTED

New York.-One approaches the
subject of new silhouette these days
with timidity, notes fashion writer.
One feels the shadow Of the storm
that is about to burst when fashion
writer's and designers say to the pub
tic that the lines of women's clothes
have changed, which means that wom-
ems wardrobes must change If they
remain In the picture Of the hour.
When we are In the throes Of con-
servation and economy, the idea of
new silhouette is not altogether pleas
ing. 1t is snatched up with avidity
by those who sell apparel, for they
know 1t Is lure to the purse. But
it is also snatched up by orators, the
women not to change the style of their
clothes during the war. These do not
snatch 1t up with avidity, but jump
upon 1t and try to crush 1t by argu-
ment and vituperation. f,
The French say, however, that to
face fact and not theorize on a
fancy is far better way to meet life.
Therefore, If the new silhouette Is
here, and If women will accept 1t by
the thousands, 1t Is far better to face
1t than to ignore it; 1t is wiser to re-
alize that 1t must be managed on a ba-
sis of economy and conservation.
Argument has never had the slight
est effect on fashions. The persuasive
tones Of the administration, asking
that our material be spared by civil
ians because it issheeded for the fight
ers, has had its result; but this is only
in keeping with the accomplishing at
titude of America toward all restric-
tons during the war. The majority
of women feel, and 1t seems that that
feeling Is right, that If they do not
encroach upon the fabrics and workers
needed by the government they can
have as many new costumes as they
wish, on whatever lines they please.
Long Skirts Replace Short Ones.
The fundamental fact in the sill
houette is that skirts sweep the
ankles and heels. To many women
this is the fundamental fact, but to
the designers and the reporters there
Is far more in the change than this.
If women were to continue to wear
plated skirts on straight Ines,
sweeping the ankles, and straight
skirts that reached the toe-tips and
were made to look less scanty by rip
pling tunics that extended to the nee,
one would still find that the old
clothes would do. But the new long
skirt is draped; 1t is draped upward
at the back, and it is very, very slen-
der in its outline.
You can easily see that such skirt
will influence the bodice and the
waistline. One cannot wear tunics
over draped skirts. One cannot wear
oriental sashes at the hip-line over
draped skirts, as they did in 1880.
There is so much that must go By
the board with skirt that Is a grace

wardrobe in good style until the actu-
al cold weather demands warmer ma
terials. Don't let her be misled by the
fact that the majority of women's
clothes worn and sold today have
short skirts. All the betting on the
racetrack of fashion is against their
winning. 1t is far wiser to renovate
skirt for the future than for the
present, IL one considers the gown
worth the price Of money and vitality
that clever renovation requires.
Speaking Of Skirts, What About Hats?
The first question that a woman
asks when she is told that the long.
pull-back skirt and the tight basque
are arriving, concerns the best hat
that will go with such silhouette.
The answer to her question depends
on the nature of the place where she
shops. 1t Is probable that the infor-
nation will be given her that the mil
liners have amassed vast variety OF
head coverings, and that she can take
her choice; but If she definitely insists
upon what is new, she will be told by
those who know that the striking
novelty Is the revival Of mans hat
that has won a picturesque place for
itself through several centuries or
usage.
Once It was called the Musketeer,
because Of its upturned brim and Its
long feather; today 1t Is called the
Anzac. Between the two classes Of
fighters there Is no difference, except
the progress of time. They fight with
much the same principle to guide
them, and both fight for the honor and
safety Of France.
Today the Amaze hat comes into high
fashion, and at the hour of the Aus
tralian fighters distinction.
1t is made Of white, gray, black and
mauve felt. Sometimes 1t has an In
sigma of no Importance as method
of fastening up the brim to the crown,
and again 1t has a thick, curling os-
trich feather. 1t is the latter trir--
ming that is added to the felt hat
when the costume is slim, draped
frock that reaches from collar-bone to
tips Of toes.
There is a recrudescence Of os-
trich feathers over the land, and as
all the milliners are insisting that hats
shall be trimmed, there is every rea-
son to believe that the African plume
will be restored to fashion.
So, throughout the warp and wool
| Of the new fashions there runs a
thread of economy. for the reason that
much Is revived which has been shelv-
ed and may have been kept.
Quite little summary, don't you
think, Of the dead brought back to
