BY ELOISE.

Batik borders, hand-painted pat
terms and other artiStically stem
ciled designs have always been seen
more or less on some of the exclu-
sive models in the high-priced
shops. This year they seem to be
more popular than ever before.
Many of the individual evening
gowns are bordered in beautiful
painted coIOrs and what is still
more whimsical many tea gowns
and negligees employ these borders
in soft paint shades as their only
claim to elegance.
Here, however. the stenciled de-
sign is employed on an afternoon
gown. 1t adds a unique touch to a
gown that is already novel in line
and color. Navy blue charmeuse
and chiffon are used to fashion this
artistic and unusual costume. The
stenciled border on the chiffon is
done in lilac and gray. The over
skirt which is long and draped has
an edging of navy blue silk fringe.
The cut of the gown is another
feature to be noticed. The coat
style is common enough among
serges, gabardines and other wool
en- fabrics. but it is rarely used in
the silks and chiffons and other
lighter fabrics which are kept for
more formal wear This frock,
however, proves that the coat dress
is very attractive made in the soft
er materials

USING WAR STAMPS
FOR PREMIUMS rs
BEING CONDEMNED

Washington, Oct 10.-The prac-
tice by some merchants of giving
war savings stamps as premiums
with purchases is strongly con-
demned by the treasury.
THE war savings movement was
created to help the people of the
United States win the war" said
treasury official in a statement to-
day. When a retail dealers gives
away a war savings stamp he does
SO that he can sell a man some
thing the man does not need The
government gets 25 cents from the
dealer and the dealer gets SIS or
SO from the customer for the ar
ticles the customer ought not to
have bought, and which the war
industries board and the war de-
partment cannot spare the faciIi-
ties and labor to manufacture.
Thus the transaction goes round
the circle and precisely defeats the
war savings movement"

CUBA PRESIDENT
MAKES OFFER OF
ARMED AID TO u. S.

Havana. Oct. 10.-President Me
nocal of Cuba. on Sept IL, through
Carlos NJ. Cespedes, the Cuban
minister at Washington offered the
United States government a con-
tingent of Cuban troops for service
on the battlefield against the cen
trail powers. This was made known
last night when the presidents
communication, together with re-
ply signed by Robert Lansing,
American secretary. was made pub
lie.
Secretary Lansing explained that
owing to the fact that the plan for
supplying, arming and eQuipping
the constantly increasing American
armies and those of the allied
armies who have been on the bat
tie front during the last four years
would consume the output of Amer
lean factories, both civil and mill
tary for some time to come and
that virtually every ship has been
assigned for months in advance to
some vital war need, making a re-
adjustment inadvisable and ad-
vantage could not be taken of the
offer at this time.
