rarer opportunity to make little
touches count for a great deal. Va
riety of costumes IS limited, hence
originality must be expressed in
ones own Interpretation. Any dis
play is considered the worst pos
sible form, and this edict will have
radical effect on the styles OF
America; more so than on those of
France or England. for over there
street clothes have always been
conservative, while we have not al
ways avoided the garish or the
faddy.
For the fall the slim silhouette
will be even simmer. Suit coats
will all be longer, say AZ inches, at
least those of velveteen or substi-
tute fabrics; those of wool will be
slightly shorter, and scant as TO
breadth. Skirts will be a trifie
longer. and will vary from a yard
and a half to two yards in width
never over the latter.
Fabrics will include Eivora cloth,
cashmere-velours duvetyn. tricotine
and granada These made into
suits will command a very high
price, and no doubt before the sea-
son is we'll advanced will prove
something Of problem, for We are
surely coming to regulations re-
stricting US to silks and cottons. or
at most combinations OF silk and
wool There is a large supply of
these suits at present, but the near
ing scarcity advises one to buy
early while selections from large
assortments are possible.
Wide collars and cuffs will be the
vogue and fur trimmings are more
evident than ever before and the
lavish spreading on OF pelts bids
fair TO surpass that OF previous
years.

Long Service.

Marine recruiters in Rock Island
announce that the local recruiting
station is being literally sWamped
with applications from young
women for enlistment in the ma
rine corps. Approximately 200
girls have applied for service as
clerks. The order providing for the
acceptance OF women clerks was
received the early part of last week
and since that time a continual
stream OF applicants has visited
the recruiting station.
None can be enlisted, however,
until they have fled proof Of their
clerical ability at the marine
headquarters at Washington, and
they have been notified TO ap-
pear at the Rock Island station for
enlistment
The young women must pass a
physical examination, and will be
subjected TO the same discipline as
men recruits. They will be fur
nished with uniforms and will be
sent to various marine stations to
perform ordinary clerical duties.
Pay for privates who are as
signed to clerical duties approx
mates $40 per month, and articles
of uniform are furnished in addi-
ton.
All young women who have SO
far applied agree TO all require
ments with the exception Of length
of service. All must enlist for a
period of four years and it is be-
lieved that many will sign for this
period The majority wish to join
for the duration of the war.

A designer of women's clothes,
while visiting our ready-tO-wea-
section a week ago, told US that the
tendency in foreign lands was to-
ward the elimination of the one
piece dress. as far as general wear
was concerned However firm for
eign fashion arbiters are in this
dictum. it will take more than their
decision to deprive the American
woman of her dependable trotteur.
The outcome of the struggle is We;
in the offing, but here, at Young &
McCombs. we admit that separate
skirts and blouses are gaining
strong foothold.
