said that this was about the regu-

tent the strength of the German re-
sistance had lessened. They were
surprised AT the report that 10000
prisoners had been Ia aken and were
inclined 20 believe that this figure
was somewhat high inasmuch as
the present movement was not in

characterized as very satisfactory by

Ornaments for the Neck.

The adornment of the neck is n of
the fashionable phases Of the moment.
There is quite q vogue for the flat bead
necklaces made by the wounded SOL
diers. Probably a good deal OF senti-
ment is connected with the wearing of
them, but they have q distinctly deco
rative value, too, and make vivid
splashes Of color on III dark gowns.
We are beginning to realize the impor-
lance of neck adornments-their scope
and their limitations-in the domain Of
dress. Smartness may be achieved or
alienated by the little finishing touch
at the throat. There is nothing, after
all, more becoming than the time
honored string Of pearls. which. hack
neyed though it is, hardly ever seems
to look nmiss and seems suitable at
practically any age. Only in the hey
day OF youth are brilliantly colored
beads appropriate. After forty they
should be absolutely taboo, supplanted
by the soft fold Of cream or flesh col
ored tulle, or, better still, the black
velvet band with q diamond clasp. Jade
Is, Of course, the most popular Of all
stones and colors for necklaces at pres
ent, though cOrals, moonstones set in
silver md opals intermingled with
crystal run them close and are some
what less expensive.

KNITTING A WHOLE COSTUME
Popularity Of Outfits for Children AZ
ford . New Departure for Crown
Ups-Requires Careful Work.

Whole costumes of knitted material
have been popular for small children,
but 1t Is a new departure to offer them
for grown-ups. One has a rather short
sweater top, ribbed to fit snug around
the waist and going over the head.
The rolled collar. of white, ties with a
knitted cord ending in knitted balls Of
green. The skirt has bands of green
on a white worsted foundation. OF
course. such a skirt must be narrow.
1t would be a horror of sagging lines
after a few times Of wearing If 1t were
full. But 1t must be a nice problem In
knitting to adjust 1t to the figure SO
that 1t shall not curve in in all the
wrong places.
Our skirts are again scanty and
straight, but SO far they disguise rath-
er than reveal the lines of the figure.
When narrow skirts were in before,
careless cutting and inexpcrt draping
often had results which were unfor-
tunate, to say the least. A skirt at
knitted wool might easily repeat these
indiscretions; SO unless q woman has
graduated In the mysteries Of knitting
and purling she had better not try to
solve one for herself.

DEMAND FOR BLACK
Material Favored as Economy
Rather Than for Mourning. ,
Many Disadvantages Cited In Dead
Color, Particularly That Il Does
Not Match Well With Khaki.

There seem to be two Options
among merchants who deal In wOm-
ems dresses, and women's wear in gem
eral, about the probable demand for
black. Needless to say, war times al
ways mea an additional demand for
mourning, but after the experience of
England and France it is hardly likely
that we will overdo the matter Of
wearing mourning in this country as
they did ut the outbreak of the war.
Already there has been very definite
and telling agitation against this, and
it Is likely that If occasion for the as
suming of mourning comes, 1t will be
donned, but likely by American wom-
en-.
But aside from black as the color Of
mourning, the prediction has been
made persistently In some quarters
that there will be an enormous demand
for black clothes Us a matter Of econ
Omy. Women may demand black, and
they may wear it. But the question
Is still open as to whether they are
doing wisely. Almost any woman who
has v e wore black for mourning
knows that 1t Is not an economical
colcr. In almost any fabric black re-
quires constant brushing and constant
trips to the tailor. No color looks
shabby so soon as black. A black suit
skirt seems to collect the dust more
quickly than suits Of other colors, and,
of course, black blouses have the dis
advantage Of not usually being wash
able. The elaborate black evening gown
cut with an extreme decolletage comes
in for almost universal admiration, and
even debutantes yearn to yea it.
In England the fact is commented on
considerably that black does not go
well with khaki, and 1t must have
been noticed by everyone in this coun-
try that since the escort par excel
lence is the man in khaki, our pretty
girls have been wearing colors Of
brighter hue than ever before.
So think twice before you have much
black in your wardrobe, and think
three or four times before you adopt
1t as a matter Of economy.

FASHIONS FADs

IF the little girls dress is cut with
frill.
Checkerboard cloth Is one Of the
fashionable effects when combined with
solid black.
Coats are inclined toward military
lines. They are belted n the back and
rather loose in front.
For distinctly evening clothes chiffon
~velvets, metal brocades and novelty
satins are chosen.
When fur is worn next to the face
the wearer should cover the face with
a veil.
Liberty satin is very much In de-
mand. and for evening dress black sat-
in combined with yellow is very good.
For evening dress. scarfs made of
the same material as dress, but lined
with silver or gold cloth and heavily
beaded in good designs, are worn. A
shirred muff Is carried to match.
Solid ostrich feather hats are very
good for afternoon. Those are made
very small, fitting the head closely.
1Hey are very HIGH, AiiOWlHs tie AcdtH-
ers to fall in q large tassel at the top.
All colors are combined on the hat.
For ladies who are willing to spend
considerable money, the latest in fur
Is the tailless ermine shawl. This is
a wrap measuring 60 inches In length
and 36 inches in width. It is lined
with embroidered ream broadcloth.
Two slashes give freedom to the hands.
Not a tail Is used on the wrap. FIR
mine wristlets are also worn with eve
ming dress.
