There has been some discussion for
quite q few years now Of the advis-
ability Of having an ambassador to
this country from Canada, and there
are numerous little signs lately point
ing to the possibility OF such an addi-
ton to our diplomatic corps in the i'm
mediate future. II has only been
rather recently that a Canadian has
been on the British Embassy stan in
this city. Perhaps IL such an appoint
ment Is made. Sir Charles Gordon-but

Lord Reading will be Ambassador of
Great Britain to the United States
during his stay in this country and
will occupy the British Embassy, he
will not receive the salary as Ambas-
sador. but will continue to receive that
due the lord chief justice. Wonder
which salary is the larger; that OF
Ambassador or lord chief justice?

Caterpillar Make Raid.

A plague Of caterpIllars devastated
the region Of Puy, In Auvergne,
France. In the village Of AiguIlhe
they even invaded houses, causing the
villagers to flee. At Vals several roads
were covered with them to such a
depth as to render traffic impossible,
while the washerwomen on the banks
Of the River Borne were obliged to
cease work. Great damage was caused
to crops, single night sufiicing for
the caterpillars to clear large areas.

1t Ia n relief to have the burden Of

borne it for two centuries.
Now, let the men do the work Of
economy. Let every woman have her
answer ready when she Is accused OF
extravaganza and waste In the chang.
Ing Of fashions and the buying Of new
clothes.
Season Of clingine Clothes.
OF one thing we are all certain :
that our clothes will cling to the fig
ure. OF another thing we are not
quite certain: that the silhouette will
be straight.
The tendency toward wrapped gowns
and toward the oriental movement Of
fabric around the body Is too strong
and important to be overlooked. It Is
quite probable that the designers will
offer 1t as means Of making the
straight silhouette look out Of fash
lon.
The extraordinary success Of the
Spanish movement In clothes In New
York, which has come about from the
stage and the new dances, accentu-
ates the draping Of the figure on the
bias.
1t will be interesting to see whether
one silhouette has a marked victory
over the other, or whether the battle
between the two becomes stalemate
throughout the spring and summer.
Today the draped figure is on the
offensive. The straight silhouette is
making a good defensive. All Of
which is excellent for the people who
sell clothes.
There Is little possibility that our
clothes will flare, but there is no prob
ability that they will be attenuated. A
scarcity Of wool does not mean scare.
ity Of other fabrics.
There Is no evidence Of shortage
In the common weaves of silk, satin,
crepe and jersey, and the early spring
models shown by the New York shops
for the southern season, embody these
materials In clothes that cling to the
figure, but are scanty.
The materials chosen for the new
spring gowns are admirable adjuncts
Of the new movement. Crepe de chine
and tussah are In the lead, whereas
satin Is somewhat shelved for every.
thing but evening gowns.
The canteen Coat.
1t was not possible for American
fashions to avoid the military infiu-
ence. although there was pressure
against 1t here as In France. Old and
half-forgotten wars gave the designers
INSPIRATION, but the present war was
too vital to influence dress at this
hour.
However, there are certain garments

put into high fashion, which are dis
1nctly drawn from the battlefront 10

One is the swinging cape and

tie as to styles, so that In a few brief
weeks the garment will not be found
out Of the running SO far as style line
is concerned.
C0pper-colored satin was selected
for the skirt Of the frock, with tan
georgette for the blouse. The blouse is
shocked and embroidered In the darker
tone, and the dress fastens simply In
the center back. The girdle is draped
low at the back and Is drawn well over
the hips.
This type Of girdle drapery is noted
frequently on some Of the newest
dresses and skirts, and one of the fab
rics Is for drapery that sweeps low
over the hip at one side and Is about at
the normal waistline on the opposite
side.
The skirt Of this frock is quite mar
row, measuring scant yard and three
quarters In width, and the design Is an
excellent one for remodeling last sea-
sons frock.
To make the dress two and a half
yards Of satin SO inches wide will be
required, with one and three-quarters
yards Of georgette the same width for
bodice and sleeves. The piece Of satin
saved In the width Of the skirt may be
used for the girdle. The bodice must,
Of course, be made over a fitted lining,
