TOWARD SIMPLICITY.

It seems to be the fad to talk lot
about the simple manners and simple
methods of days gone by. We think of
often as having been serenely peaceful
and simple. There were not the COM
plexities then to cope with that there
are today, we tell ourselves No Won
der they didn't have nervous prostra-
ton THEY'VE always assume that
they didn't-w1aen living was so Sim
pie.
isn't the life of most women in the
home becoming simplihed all the
time? Isn't it simpler to have wash
ing done in stationary tubs with rum
ming water than to have it done in
every Monday and filled with pals
carried from a pump? And isn't it
simpler to have the washing done in
an electric washing machine than to
have it done in the stationary tub?
Isn't it simpler to take n bath in a
bath tub that is made of white porceH
lain and that can be filled by the SIM
pie turning on of a water faucet than
to have first to call a maid to set up a
tin tub and then wait while she fills it
with water fetched in pitchers? Isn't

you want to tell a friend to sit down
at your telephone and let your voice
carry the message to her through the
space that intervenes between you
and her than first to summon a mes
senger and then write out your mes
sage and after that to await her re-
ply?
Isn't it simpler when an epidemic
prevails through the land to know
that certain habits contribute to and
spread the disease, that certain pre-
cautionary measures diminish decid-
eddy your chances of taking the dis
ease, than to be SO ignorant of the
science of such matters that you
could not help but feel that there was
some brooding judgment from heaven
in every, such epidemic and that all
you could do to keep out of the way
Of it was of most uncertain value?
1t is easy to see that with present
day conveniences in the household
every housewife dispenses with the
services of one or two servants. That
is, we can get along now with no ser
wants in reasonably up-to-date
house or apartment and have less
drudgery to attend to than the house
wife who had but one servant before
modern domestic conveniences had
been set up. And with one servant
and the conveniences we can get
along better than they used to with
three servants, because every SER
wants efficiency is enormously in
creased by means of the conveniences.
Isn't it more simple to have machine
cry do your work than domestics?

FASHIONS

The 1859 debutante will probably
make her formal bow to society at a
war benefit tea, but. whatever the ma
ture Of the social function arranged in
her honor. she will require a new froci<
for the event. Simplicity sh ,uld be the
guide in designing clothes for the
debutante The frock shown in the
sketch, a modification Of q model by
a French designer, offers excellent
suggestions.
The skirt of this frock is ankle
length, and of course narrow-au of

skirt may be made Of French blue

over a lining of very thin silk or net.

NOTES PROBABLE NEED
OF BIG FOOD PURCHASES
British Chancellor Asks Vote Of
Credit for Seven Hundred
Million Pounds.

LONDON, Tuesday, November Ia
In moving a vote Of credit for f700,-
900. 900 in the house Of commons today
Andrew Bonar Law. chancellor OF the
exchequer. said there would be a re-
duction in expenditures due to the
change in the military situation. Mil
itary authorities. he said, advise, how
ever, against reducing the amount as
the allies might have to bring food
to Europe.
Mr.. Bonar Law said that everything
available in connection with the
manufacture of instrumentalities Of
war would be turned to the produc-
tion Of merchant ships. so that there
would be an increased expenditure
under this head.
The estimated expenditure for the
200 days to october 10 was f1,411,000,-
600, but the actual disburseme'. Is
amounted to f1,S51. 100000. There was
a reduction in loans to the allies and
dominions of f276.o00. as compared
with the estimate. The increases in
Army expenditures amounted to f39,-
500 900. while the disbursements for the
navy decreased 1880. 900. because of
the fact that expectations as to the
building of merchant ships had not
been realized. There was reduction
of f30.000.0e0 on munitions as COM
pared with the estimate, owing to an
over ambitious program.

Two Scared Foxes.

Peter Rabbit has no doubt in his
own mind that that terrible stranger
was coming for no purpose in the
world but to catch him. Louder and
louder grew that humming sound I'M
til it was roar. The louder it grew
the faster Peters legs few. There
had been times when Peter had done
some great running, but never had
he done such running as now. So
frightened was Peter that he plunged
straight into the dear Old Brier Patch
without stopping to pick out one
of his private little paths. In fact
he plunged right through an old
bramble, bush. 1t scratched his face
and tore his coat without Peter even
knowing it at the time. This shows
how frightened Peter was.
With a roar which made Peter fall
right down fat with fright the ter
rible flying giant swept over the dear
Old Brier Patch. Peter said after

sky behind them was the terrible ny-
the giants wings, but the truth is
that the giant was high in the air.
It was simply the noise and Peters
great fright which made Peter feel SO
certain that the giant had come so
near.
Now, as you know, Peter Rabbit is
nothing If not curious. Not even the
terrible fright he had just received could
keep him from being curious. No sooner
was. he sure that the terrible
stranger had passed than he was pos
sessed with the desire to see this
giant. Creeping to the farther edge
Of the dear Old Erier Patch. he looked
out What he saw made Peter forget
that he was hiding. Up he sat, with
his eyes looking as II they would fall
right out Of his head. There. far
away on the outer side Of the Green
Meadows, were two red spots headed
toward the Old Pasture, and now they
were running!
two red spots were Reddy Fox and
Mrs. Reddy. OF course, Peter always
recognizes them as far as he can see
them. Swooping down out of the
ing giant It was perfectly plain that
he was after them. If there was
any doubt as to which could run the
faster, it was settled then and there.
Eeddy Fox was moving faster than
ever he had moved in his life before.
but Mrs. Reddy was moving faster
still. It was not for. nothing that
she had been called Miss Swiftfoot be-
fore she had become Mrs. Reddy-
But fast as Reddy and Mrs. Reddy
were running. they might as well have
been standing still SO far as beating
that flying giant was concerned.
Down, down. down he swooped till he
was Just . little above them and then,
just as Peter expected to see Reddy
snatched up in the air. the stranger
passed on and over without touching
them. and began to climb up In the
pointed. yet, right down deep in his
heart he was glad as he watched
Rcddy and Mrs. Reddy disappear in
the Old Pasture.

evening wear throughout the season.
Extremely beautiful evening gowns
are shown this season, featuring a
long cuirass bodice of rich brocade
with narrow, slightly draped skirt of
plain color satin or velvet. Sleeves
either full length or elbow length are
usually employed. The majority of the
evening gowns are cut only moder-
ately low although some are quite
low at the back. A fancy for draping
the shoulders with filmy net or lace
when the low cut gown is worn is
very evident. This draping serves to
make the gown seem merely collar
less at the back, ,and slightly low in

OflntereSt TO Women
HEAVY BLACK JERSEY FOR WINTER

, to do 1t more happily and easily during
the influenza scourge, when they heard
/ that street cars and subways threat>
ened death. as one health officer put it,
like the Black Hole of Calcutta
Neither profuse moisture nor fatigue
are measures of health. There is no
| excuse for engendering them. and the
constant wearing of heavy and thick
clothes is step away from modern
hygiene. Therefore, the adoption of
the other way around. Most women
prefer the latter way, taking a gamble
on the chance of keeping the house
! reasonably warm this winter.
Naturally, none of us feel oversan-
guine on this subject when we know
what terrific inroads the influenza made
, in the ranks of the miners and how it
lessened their output of coal: yet hui
man nature has eternal optimism or it
would succumb, and We believe there
! Is band of silver and green in the
west, which means a clearing sky.
The Charm OF Jersey.
Those who like jersey give it IN
stinted admiration. There is no half
way enthusiasm, and all must admit
| that it gives an unusual grace to the
figure. One can feel sure of looking
Simmer than ever in it, and surely
this is giving the apple of Paris to a
fabric.
Two colors rule in it; black and
gray, Dark blue is not in the running
1t appears to have given it's leading
place to others this season, which does
not mean that blue serge gown is out
of the picture and that if you own one
1t Will cause irritation to wear it; but
1t does mean that if you are about to
choose new frock or top coat, avoid
dark blue. 1t is reasonably fashion
/ ABLE. but not up in the first class.
Black jersey is well liked when the
weave is sufficiently brilliant to give.
character and take away the mourn
! ing aspect. The dull weave, however,
is adopted for mourning. Curiously
without the drop stitch which go by
various names and began the season
in August have not lasted well. The
kind of jersey preferred is like tricot
and hangs limp and opaquely over the
body.
Probably. the reason for choosing
black is the chance given the. dress
| maker to add color here and there.
One has to be careful in touching
black with vividness of any sort and
goes right; but when peltry and metal
! are used for the vivid touch, one feels
! comparatively safe. :
A Waistcoat of Fur.
The sketch gives an idea how a black
jersey frcck can be turned out with
distinction. The touch of cleverness
extends into a high turnover collar
tied with conspicuous cords of silver.
! weighted with tassels that might be
used for a portiere. No other touch of
material spoils it.
Observe the curious manipulation of
| the waistline. 1t tricks one into
thinking that a short jacket has been
aAEed to a long skirt. Thesline is
kept straight, however, until the
skirt reaches the ankles, where it
makes its submission to the prevail
ing fashion by tucking its hem in and
under.
At the end Of the long sleeves there
kind of wristlet that has taken the
place Of the fiat one. This is from
the japanese.

"lauerGrow Fat" Arbucieles' Motto.
If you desire to grow fat and live
long-laugh every chance you get.
That is the philosophy of Roscoe Cat
ty) Arbuckle, who viii be seen in his
latest mirth-provoker, The Cook at
the Isis theater today and tomorrow.
Every scene Of this Paramount pro-
ductfon is filled with incidents that
are guaranteed to grip and make you
laugh uproariously.
II believe laughter to be the great
est health tonic known to mankind"
said Mr.. Arbuckle recently. 1.-The
man who laughs, grows fat. I don't
mean that he should assume herculean
proportions, but that laughter should
take the wrinkles out of his face and
vest just a little. There is a saying
that nobody likes fat man, but be-
lieve me. fat as I am, I infinitely pre-
fer a sixty inch waist line to one OF
twenty inches. What would I amount
to with a waist like a dachshund? 1t
is my business to laugh and make
others laugh, and that's why I'm fat
and proud Of it, too"
In "The Cook" Mr.. Arbuckle has
ample opportunity to prove the sound
ness of his philosophy, for his laugh
making stunts are excruciatingly fun
ny. He is capably supported by Bus
ter Keaton, AL St. John, Alice Lake
and the terrier, Luke.
