SASH IN FAVOR ONCE MORE

Seen on Most Of the New Models
Imported From Paris.

On great many of the new models
lately imported from Paris are to be
seen sasheS in varied forms and
shapes. This is an innovation. 1t has
been a long time since the sash was
a popular bit of wearing apparel.
On some of the velvet gowns, for
instance. the sash is made Of the vel

from the side around 10 the back, is
lined with a contrasting color Of satin,
and is tied in a knot ut the back. the
wide, heavy ends dropping to the bot
tom of the skirt.
Sometimes on evening gowns these
old-fashioned. newfashiOned sashes
are tied in regular butterfly bows, and
there has never been in fashion his
tory anything more picturesque and
quaint.
Sometimes the sasheS have fringed
ends, and sometimes the wide ribbon
is drawn together and finished with a
heavy tassel. which helps toward the

was useless to appeal to women to
save wool in the building of their
clothes, under the present commercial
circumstances of clothes selling. The
great majority of women buy their
clothes. They do not make them at
home. They buy what they can get,
and they do not know the amount OF
material contained in a garment.
Therefore, the government made its
appeal for cooperation In the con-
servatiOn of wool to those who make
and design wOmen's garments. At
this meeting it was resolved and rules
were formulated that no man or wOm-
an In America would use over Az
yards Of wool In any costume, and
less, If possible.
The response to these rules was
given not only by the dressmakers,
but by the manufacturers, the mill
people, the ready-tO-wear department
stores and private dressmakers. The
decision was far-reaching. 1t is now
up to the women of America to carry
out for the government continued
process of conservation in wool. 1t
will not be hardship. One will not
have to face the chasms of doubt and
despair that opened up with the con-
servatiOn of food.
All that the women of the country

body defers to their opinions; nobody

Children of a larger growth often
crave an admiration which they do not
get. They think to draw an audience
by harping on the theme of self, and
they find that the audience for that
kind of recital is likely to be limited
to the performer. To knock the ''I'
out of ones conversation is not neceS-
sarily to make it interesting. Many
times a narrative loses greatly In pith
and pungency by the imperSOnality in
which it b cOuched. A story of adven-
ture greatly gains by the sense Of the
first-hand participation of the narrator
in the incidents he describes. When

there need be no apology; when 1t is
introduced for the gloriticatiOn of the
speaker. it is Odous altogether.
A man must do his work as well as
he can, whether he is praised for it or
not. The taste of publicity is likely to
be what the taste of blood is to tiger
