Ihe square decolletage Is featured 9n many of the new evening frocks Snd in many afternoon gowns the deep V line is filled in with little square tucker of muslin or white satin.
 Checked velvets are much in vogue Cor smart suits and the results ob- tained with them are most gratifying. \ rather small check made up with iiagonal lines gives an interesting ef- 'ect.
 Many of the effects in new frocks Ire one-sded. Especially is the one sided tunic much featured in serge and satin combination frocks.
 A French model in black satin shows launty bows of this material at the urned-back cuffs that terminate the llhow-length sleeves.
 Two yards seems to be the favorite ridth decreed by the masters and mak ITS of fashion for winter skirts.

For satin blouses the Chinese style is all the rage, and one sees long vests of black satin or marine blue embroid- cred with large round or square motifs. of goh thread, silk or varicOlOred wool. Even tiny roses are worked in with the design with delightful results.
 The Chinese blouse may be long and straight or loosely held in by belt, and while some of them fastcn with button on the shoulder others are closed at the side under the arm. In the latter case the embroidery outlines and extends down the sides iu

GOVERNMENT TO MAKE SHOES
Great Britain Plans to Check Rising Price of Civilian Footwear, Uncle
 Sam's Consular Reports Say.

The British government will go into the shoe manufacturing business in or der to check the constantly rising price of civilian footwear, according to Un- cle Sams consul at HudderSfeld.
 It is proposed that four classes shall be manufactured under government control, two for men and two for boys and youths. Those for men will cost from 13s. to 16s. 6d ($3.18 to $4) per pair, and those for boys and youths los. 6d. ($2.55) and above. These standardized boots will be especially adapted to the needs of agricultural workers, quarrymen, and miners, and for common ordinary town wear by artisans.
 If the shoes lack finish and style, they will excel in durability, 1t Is claimed, for only stout quality of leather will be used As the govern meet controls all leather supplies, there will be no shortage of raw ma terial. Probably "kips' will be used for the uppers, as this material is not stout enough for the regular army boot. Later, standardized boots for women and girls may also be pro luced.

NEW ZEALAND GOOD MARKET
Shoe Dealers Find Goods Marked "Latest American Styles" Attract
 Most Patronage.

American shoe manufacturers have 1t in their power to increase their sales in New Zealand in spite of the preferential tariff that operates against them, says a report issued by Uncle Sam's bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. American shoes are as well thought of there as in other parts of the world and the strongest bid for patronage that re- taller can make Is to show in his win dows shoes marked Latest American Style"
 The business obtainable in the New Zealand market is well worth culti- vating, 1t Is declared, for the mer- chants are a most dependable class of careful, conservative shoe dealers, and the people can afford to buy the highest-priced footwear. Of the $2,- 100000 worth of footwear imported in 1916, only about S175,000 worth came from the United States. There lS little question that American shoes could hold n more important place in the market, says the government re- port, il more sales energy were back of them. Other shoes are being sold for fully as high prices as would have to be charged for American shoes, grade for grade.
