WAlsTcOATs.

Waistcooats and Eaistcoat blouses are among the newest fashions from Paris and are amohg the newest fash ions from Paris and are one more Of the many charming old fashioned modes which have been adapted to present day styles. This particular fashion was taken from the clothes worn, not by the women, but by the men of long ago, for waistcoats Of varied and brilliant fabrics were the garments most delighted in by the fastidious beaux of other days.
 No less varied and faneiful are the waistcoats of today. They arc made in the most delicate of chiffons, a.: well as in such wool materials as these war times offer. Some of ther1 consist of a front section of metal brecade which shows only when the coat is open, and others are made like blouse, with sleeves of chiffon ot crepe de Chine. and with back and front of brocade or satin.
 Waistcoats of this kind are worr with a suit, and when the coat is oper they look much more substantial and effective than the ordinary blouse Without the coat they make I one piece costume of the suit, and one is
 not aware of any lack of ~ harmony such as usually results from the ust of any ordinary blouse and the sui skirt

WORTHLESS sEcuhlrlEs.

A warming which should not fail to get considerate attention is that which has been issued by the capital issues committee of the treasury department to the effect that inc public should feaiize the peril Of unmeritorious se- surities and recommending at the same time that legislation should be enacted which will make permahent the protection which has been given the country as q war measure.
 This action is taken by the com n.ittee in connection with the an- 1etincctheht to the effect that it's &C., tlvities will end with the close of this year, and at the same time the sec retary In endorsing the warning de- tlares that he will endeavor to secure legislation which will be aimed at the 1blockihs of the sale of securities which are no good.
 How much this is needed Is shown by the committees statement to the effect that statesmen are being drilled at the present time fin the art of per suading investors to subscribe for un- nieritofious or worthless securities. , Such being the case it can be realized that it iH time to act. The committee has been controlling the issue of all securities as a war measure. On that ground there is no need of it's reten- tion longer. but it now becomes d question as to whether it should be re- tained or reestablished for the very reasons that it mentions. There is no question but what the people ought to be protected against inc security Frauds but there is likely te be a di- vision of opinion as to how it should -be done. Some uses of the authority granted under war measures make ii necessary to give the proper amount of thought to such matters under nor '1Ial conditions, The worthless secur. ity, however. should be shown no ia. vors and given no encouragement.

RUMANIA's AMBITIONS.

Not q great deal has been heard about what Rumania is going to de- mand at the peace conference but 1t is known that it has long had ambi- lions to include within it's boundaries the adjacent provinces which are in hnbited for the most part by Ruman- ians. Rumania has not concealed the fact that it wanted Pennsylvania and A was in that direction that it began moving it's troops as soon as it en- tered the war.

DICTATES OF FASHION.

White organdie ruf1les finish the bottoms of pretty sleeves.
 Red velvet and gray angora make pretty combination.
 Heavy tassels are attractive on the new silk handbags.
 The monks collar is still seen on the smartest costumes.
 Velvet hats with large brims are inclined to have crushed crowns.
 The close fitting bodice is smart fashion.
 Circular metal buckles are used for the new cloth belts.
 Suit cuffs are faring and fasten with a single large button.
 Always, if possible, have the break fast room in a light and sunny part of the house.
 Glove skin is a good substitute for wool and is ideal for street frocl1s.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

After all that has been said about the complications caused by the death Of Representative elect Francis T. Bennett, of New Haven, voters of the Elm City will he astonished to learl1 that neither will they be deprived of representation in the House, nor will they be compelled to accept the rep resentation offered them by the State Committee of any party. It develops that the constitution takes care of such a situation and that one of the old representatives holds over under the provision that a representative shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualities. MT. Bennett had been elected, but he had not qualified by taking the oath of office. It is passingly strange that in city where politics is played as vigorously and as adroitly as it is in New Haven the political leaders should have been

 It was likewise a fight against pa- cifism and as the result Of the contest II is shown that the coalition forces have won not only a great victory b2't a greater one than they dared to ex- pect. The supporters of Lloyd Geor2e will control over five-sevenths of the lower house and nothing could better demonstrate the approval by his people of his conduct of the war as premier. Such an endorsement came in spite of the efforts which were made against the coalition government and makes it evident that the neople have full faith in the ability and purposes of the government in the carrying on of the negotiations at the coming | reace conference. It was an election which administered a crushing de- feat to the liberals and nationalists and stands out strongly as m expres- sion against any compromising peace

WAdsTcoAT BLOUSE.

The fur vest is quite new and is added to blouses of fahTic so thin that it can support the Xavier mate- rial of the fur. White SEeorgette with an ermine vest is as smart as the sfnartest could desire. Of course un- derneatf1 the coat only the fur shows, but when one removes the coat the contrast of the two fabrics is seen at once.
 This is decided innovation-the waistcoat blouse. Often the waisteoat on some of the thin, fine blouses is made of rare and exquisite brocade, so rich and lovely as to catch and hold the eye. The ends of these vests are pointed like mans waisteoat and they are very smart. indeed.

II was on this argument that the
