Our population is twice as great

consuming supplies needed by
our forces and the allies.
There is 70 middle ground.

There is a big cemetery in

A wonderful assortment OF these
gowns has Just arrived from overseas.
For the most part the Engllshwomen
have put their approval upon them
and wear them in the intimacy Of

will not. as they offer the needed letup
from the anxiety Of these strenuous

II Is interesting TO observe that one

This sort of wrap has lost nothing

worn all summer Because there is a
general desire to have military effects

ing with brass buttons and equipped
with a velvet collar exactly like the
capes of officers in the navy. Il must
be stated. though, that these capes are
not long.
Velvet OF finest texture is made up
in dressy coats, They have all the
hne lines and finish OF the coats well
dressed women delight to wear. A
beautiful brown velvet coat with a
good cut has trimming OF beaver.
by the way. beaver seems to be the fur
for the jeune file. II trims so many
things made especially Tor this young
person that sometimes think /:
The sun., 1918-10-27

should be left entirely FOR our growing
girls. Beaver is not an expensive fur
and has such lasting qualities, surviv-
ing almost every kind of treatment,
that little surprise is felt at its choice
for schoolgirls.
Many young girls delight to have a
rather narrow stole OF this fur or
some other equally suitable, and I'M
attached 10 the coat. The ends are
run Gown each side OF the front to
be caught in the belt, surplice fashion,
except that they are not crossed. This
will be the favorite way this winter
OF wearing all fur stoles.
The end thrown over the shoulder
has gone out OF date. Even with the
stunning angora scarfs now fashion
able and the knitted ones, too, this ar
rangement is sanctioned by the best
dressed. As the separate scarf is I'M
deniably in vogue this year most Of the
coats for school girls are left without
fur trimmings OF any kind.
For the little girls Bolivia cloth, cX-
quisitely tailored and beautifully mod
elled, leads all other fabrics. Their
coats are cut after the same straight
lines seen In the coats for older girls.
Belts are placed on them also. For the
most part they are double breasted,
fastening at one side. invisbly, or by
means of bright buttons down one side.
The single breasted coat has never
been popular for children too small to
