america Els the Need.

For years it has been The custom for
American manufacturers to obtain
each season a large number of Paris
garments and readapt them to the
needs Of American women. Paris has
always taken the lead In suggesting
possible styles. But the war has
brought American designs to the fora
although it has by no means served to
discourage Paris artists. Now many
garments wholly American are being
shown, and the fact has been clearly
proved this country need never IN
future play second fiddle. The fact
that fabrics and trimmings are scarce
and that wool, especially, must be con-
served has probably worked to the sd'
vantage of American designers and
would-be designers. For simplicity
has been the rule.

British Cabinet Already Has Plan
of Work fer Soldiers
After War.
GERMANY ALSO PREPARING
Colonization on Farms, Carefully
Worked Out by an Expert, Liable
to Be Upset by Revolt of
the Proletariat.

London.-The British government Is
now at work considering how the great
task of demobilizing the army and the
resettlement of the soldiers into civil
| occupations at the conclusion of the
war is to be accomplished. The plan
drawn up by the minister of labor is
receiving careful attention. and it is
understood considerable progress has
been made.
Germany also is giving this subject
her attention and the series of articles
by Herr Utsch in the Deutsche Land
wirtsehaftliche Presse considers the
proposed settlement on the land of sol
diers returning from the war.
rferr Utsch begins by pointing out
that it is national duty to provide the
disabled or injured soldier not only
with an adequate pension but with suit
able employment which will enable him
to support himself and his family in
sufficient comfort. In providing such
employment. he says, due regard must
be paid 10 the wishes and tho capacity
of the individual. and no better means
for effecting this can be found than
home colonization, for in no other do
main are the possibilities SO great,
since vast tracts of waste land still ex-
list In Germany waiting to be opened
up and the returning soldier cherishes
no dearer wish than TO have home of
his own.
Sees Added Wealth.
AT the same time. says Herr Utsch,
the interests of the country will be
served, since every fresh small colony
increases the national wealth and
makes it more independent of foreign
countries In the production of food. He
sees a further advantage in attracting
labor to rural districts.
The writer divides the nature of the
employment of the settlers as follows
Settlements for men employed in in
dustrieS or factories.
Holdings for agricultural laborers.
Holdings for independent artisans.
Small holdings with land attached
up to go acres or more.
Considering the first class named
they necessarily will be only possible
in the vicinity of towns or large indus

member that it is not extravaganza,
but a form of charity, to keep this
money moving so that it reaches to
the uttermOst corners of society where
women and children are gathered to
make a living wage.
There is no diminution in the bril-
liancy of fashions. Both France and
America are working hard to assist the
government to stimulate women's de-
sire for clothes. The new things which
have been put out in the shops, some
of which came from Paris and others
that have been designed in this coun-
try, show a straight line that is char
itably kept from attenuation by a
cascade at the side of the skirt, a
swirling design in braid, a great sash
weighted with ornament. This is pure
c~amouf1age.
There is really little perceptible diff
ference between the silhouette of the
gowns launched for the late winter
and those that have prevailed since
September.
There is no appeal to be careful with

the frock or the wrap is made Of a
scanty amount of material and clings
closely to the figure.
Cut-Out Embroidery Used.
There is a tendency to go back to
the old handiwork known as cut-out
embroidery. Cloth, velvet and taffeta
are now cut out by a stamping process
in ornate designs, and the edges of
these are %carelessly overwhipped with
a silk thread.
While there Is ONE embroidery and
worsted threads, the idea is taboo when
carried out in a lavish way.
The dreSsmakers seem to prefer the
lavish use of braid to any other kind
Of applied ornamentation. The wide,
closely woven variety known as Her
cules, and the tiny thread known as
soutache, are both splashed over
clothes with a generous hand. The
extra wide, white Hercules braid is
used for a rolling collar, cuffs and a
broad belt on gowns of black and gray
satin, as well as on frocks or serge
and deeply colored wooden fabrics.

New Breaking Bride.

The claim made for a new breaking
bride is that 1t is so designed that 1t
gives remarkable control over an I'M
manageable horse, because pressure
can be exerted on certain of the ami
mails spinal-cord nerves. This SIM
pie head harness has a rope bit which
will not injure the horses mouth, No
matter how tender it may be. At each
end is a large circular guard. A strap
attached to the bit extends up the
right side of the head and then just
back of the ears, and terminates in a
pulley on the left side. Fastened to
the end of the bit at the left side is a
small rope which passes upward
through the pulley and then back
through a metal loop projecting from
the end of the mouthpiece. An ,g-
tension of this rope serves as the led
ing rein, the theory is that a pull On
this rein causes the strap behind the
ears to press down on a spot in the
spine which is said to be so sensitive

test. The Regulars were beaten two
ito one at the polls.
Until the end of a year, Edith hoped
that at the new election the favorite
party of her lover might win the con
test, and her erratic fiance be restored
to normal. Alas the Regulars were
beaten three to one this time. Then
came the climax, and her liberation
of a year terminated in the final BAN
ishment of Joel from her company and
her thoughts. At least so Edith in
formed her friends, but she did not as
well tell them of sleepless nights and
fearful days. you are beginning to
look like a wild man." Joels best
friend told him, but Joel simply held
his lips firm, and a certain grimace
of heroism came into his set, resolute
face.
"Tll keep my pledge, If I never shave
again !" he said obstinately. Maybe
the Regulars may hit it next election.
I'm going to continue to campaign for
them. The war has ONE along, and I
am injecting a patriotic phase into
the local political struggle ahead of
the other side, and it's going to help
us, wonderfully"
To mitigate her longing for the
spurned love of Joel, Miss Harper de-
voted herself assiduously to knitting
for the boys at the front and aligned
herself with all the patriotic move
ments In which the feminine part of
Rossville was interested. She saw
Joel rarely, and then at a distance. She
felt drawn closer to him, however,
when she learned that he was devoting
his time and money to encouraging en-
listment and to providing for those
who rallied for the cause. The patri-
otto feature, too, brought Joel into the
arena in a new way, and the women's
clubs were ardent in working towards
an ovation for the Regulars at the
next election.

Now, mind you. This is the state
ment of a man who represents that
vast merchandise that we find out
side of the exclusive dressmakers and
high-priced shops. He knows what
the throughout the country
desire to buy, and when he makes
the statement that the demand fol
is beginning to wane, he represents
a most interesting phase of CONNER
cial activity.
The great nations who make WON

immense organizations have flooded
the world with cheap and perishable
apparel. They have catered to a de-
sire on the part of hundreds of thou
sands of women to buy what is smart
and new, rather than what is dura-
BILE.
Will Demand Durable Fabrics.
1t is already ~perceptible, wherever
masses of women have foregathered,
that costly simplicity is the substi-
tute for costly ornamentation. Soon
will come the other upheaval In dress
when women who buy inexpensive
clothes will demand that the fabric
endure.
1t was all very well, during a peri
cd of enormous productivity ON the
part of the mills, to throw away SIS
on every new frock that suited the
fancy and to discard it when the par
ticular fashion in which it was made
began to wane; but today we are
girded for war, and the output of
these mills is not intended to carry
favor with women.
And the woman herself realizes
that at any moment there may be a
shortage of fabric for her apparel,
and she does not want to spend
money, eve if it is not a large
amount, for clothes that are made up
of badly woven, badly dyed materi-
ais that last only a butterfiy's hour.
This demand for good fabric is not
new. 1t is the fundamental instinct
of women in all times of national de-
privation and economy to grasp at
what is durable.
Everyone has to face this clothes
situation during the war with a spirit
of patriotism and eager endeavor to
do the greatest good to the greatest
number. This has confronted every

have gone to war, but there is a
brand-new situation injected into this
war, and it Is the dominant one con-
corning apparel.
1t is this: The earning power of
the women of the nations involved
in the war Is without precedent in
the history of the planet.
If who have never had
money to spend will be able to make
a salary such as a mar has to sup
port a family, are they going to save
it? They are not. They are going
to spend it, and they are going to
spend it on the things they have al
ways desired. That is why sealskin
sacks and ostrich feathers have been
sold in London for two years to wom-
en- who have always worn calico wrap

And it is these women, so the stu
dents of the new statistics affirm,
who are demanding good materials
for their clothes. 1t is said by those
who know, that women who paid $15
for suits now pay $50, and those who
paid 50 for a hat now pay $40; and
this change in money spending does
not rest entirely on the fact that a
dollar of 1914 is equal to 81 cents of
1918.
