whole States had forbidden the film

 THE SASH AS CONTAMINATION
 Still another economical trick that France gives us with her blessing, is the sash. It is used on gowns that savor strongly of other years. and yet, the novelty of its arrangement is such that it lifts the gown immediately out of mediocrity.
 A jet frock. for instance, is loosely dropped over narrow lining of satin aDd there is a Chinese blue silk sash that Is mdae from a long loop at the right side of the back which is run through by a long streamer starting from the left side This streamer ends with slim train of black tulla and IS fringed at the edge.
 These sashes are used to enIiyen evening frocks in demure colors, but they are not omitted on street gowns. 1T you have blue serge that needs alteration, remember that the French take piece of Chinese or Japanese crepe called "obi" crepe in Japan. twist 1t around the hips and finish it with Hat bow and ends at the side of inc pack. Eight out of 10 persons will turn to look at this frock.

the picture in any garment that has flaring seams.
 l After the satin or silk evening roun- dation is adapted to the modern sil- houette. the woman who is bent on alteration and economy may drop over | 1t a chemise tunic of chiffon or jetted
 material, or she may take good parts of ornamental drapery from other gowns. and make them into tunic If neither of these tricks is possible, she may buy wide, ornamental ribbon, or do as one woman did-cut strips 1 from old bits of brocade curtains that have served their day, and, mounting them on tulle, accomplish tunic that has real distinction.
 ORGANDY USED LAVISHLY The simple evening gown upon which the American woman has set her heart, need not be fashioned or Of any of these sumptuous materials; i; 1 it is made of thin organdy often mounted over itself and trimm ed with lace and serving for the four hot | months of the year.
 There will be no limit to the usage of organdy in America this season. One dressmaker took an order for 13 gowns of it on the coldest day of February. She said this was just the beginning of her trade in organdy costumery, SO that is bit of impor- tant news that the woman who is do- ing homo sewing will like to know. Another French trick which is shown in the new clothes and which should be eagerly grasped by the woman who is manufacturing new frocks for her. self. is the use of narrow strips of Angora as ornamentation.

 When say that we do not understand the Teuton point of view I mean that we do not think that every happening must be judged with their fundamental idea in mind. When the German says: No annexation and no indemnitIes, . ne thinks he is magnanimous in not keeping that which has already been taken by him; when he riots or strikes it is ever with the same thought-tsWe have beaten them, why keep hammer ing?'
 The single source of dissatisfaction is food; if food were cheap and plentiful, the people would be content to fight on until the end of time. The recent riots and strikes are not. in So far as I have been able to ascertain. moro serious than those which have been going on for the past two years, and I have wondered why such full reports have been allowed to circulate I would imagine that they had been circulated for the effect on labor in other countries did not that opinion suggest a subtlety quite foreign to the German character as I know it.

 It is strange. let us say by way of psrenthesis that there Is so little pro- test from .hs tuen concerning this con- dition cf fairs It is another evidence Of the ving docility of American utAnkina n the decrees put upon him by this 9ir Waged by every decent indiv dual on this continent
 However. there are women who have neither th9 vitality nor the trend of mind to give themselves to co-oper- aticn work all day, and they are di- -ecting the seamstresses In the spring sewing; and all those gowns which used to be bought are now being turn- cd out from a machine placed by sunny window.
 It is claimed that these women are more interested In the changes in fash ion than any others Those who go to the ready-to- wear departments to get clothes in order that they may save tho time spent in making them, are apt to be directed by the woman who sells them, and she is usually very able person. These departments ham, dle what represents the fashion of the hour. and if woman can get some thing there that is becoming to her and suitable to her environment, she Is sure of being in the picture She is not sure of this if she makes her clothes at home. unless she goes carefully and is we'll guided.
 AMERICA HAS DONE HER PART The one outstanding episode in the interesting and important movement of spring clothes is the immense stride in designing that America has taken. All that has gone before was ex- perimental. but this spring the clothes are good They make no pretention of changing the silhouette as laid down by the Paris designers; the only dras- tic revolution in silhouette which has been attempted in this country, took place last summer, when the narrow skirt which pulled upward from the knees to the back and finished with bustle effect at the end of the spine, was thrown into the arena of clothes. It not only won out. although it was he work of one designer, but it coin- cides entirely with the clothes that Paris sent over last month.
 This season the two countries go hand in hand The silhouette is the sanse--nacr"w with floating draperies. Take thai one condition as the founda- tion stonAlsnd then build as you please is the slogan given to every woman. AMERICAN DESIGNS PREFERRED
 One is Immensely proud of American clothes this spring. Our designers have had the courage to show them in connection with the French gowns anc it is easily proved that in sev- era important houses the American woman chooses her entire spring wardrobe from American designs, rather than French ones.
 Ct,a f,f fxr l. Paris has not laid unusual stress upon the tailored costume, and the American woman has reverted to 1t. She wants to appear in a simple but distinguish ed costume when she is in the street. The American tailoring is the best in the world. and the American designer contrives to get the best effort out of
