that particular piece Of self-denial
has been credited to her-but one re-
calls at least one evening gown, of
delicate pearl-gray and silver. which
made its first appearance at the
Southern ball. and seemed to be re-
served for occasions that she es-

Of her costumes this summer, while
not in the least elaborate, have been

some of her hats. Anyhow, she Is

The President and Mrs. Wilson

and they either lunched or dined each
day with the Houses. while the
Houses did the other thing each day
with them. OF course the President
didn't go up to Magnolia on busi-
ness-that Is perfectly understood
but there seems a general disposi-
ton among the wiseacres and
prophets to bet dollars to doughnuts
that Col House will turn UP miss
ing some day soon. and the next day
be reported as having landed in
France, or England-or mayhap, Rus

And by the way. someone-I DON'T
suppose It Is the President-has
brought back weird tales from Mag

Fur fabrics have become so hand
tome and rich that they associate on
equal terms with real skins. They do
not suffer by this close comparison.
Until the present year coats made Of
these fabrics were set off by collnr and
cuffs and bands of fur, but o we
find the fabrics and fur dividing hon
)rs IN the body of ms brilliant garments
as any, except those magnificent long
wraps and cloaks of costly skins that
are only the privilege of the very rich.
The time may come when things as
they We're will be- reversed and the fur
fabrics become n decoration for coats
made OF fur.

that have been brought out for mid

Of purchasers who are helpless tn pro-

The protiteering principle extends to
the smallest articles-a cad pencil, for
another instance. Pencils have gone
from five to ten cents not because the
extra lead costs n fraction of a cent
more, but because to raise the price
from five cents to a dime Is the deal

The Crime of
Profiteering
BY HAMLN
Of The Wgt0nses

To my mind, one Of the nOblest
phases Of this wal is the Outburst Of
generous giving on the part Of the
great merchants and manufacturers of
America. 1t would be IN injustice not
to admit this.
The impulse which leads q man to
fOregO a salary of seventy-ive thou
sand dollars per annum or to neglect
an enormous business for a position
on the government roll ut one dollar
per year Is magnificent. l for II am
not disposed to cavil or criticize by
saying: ut Is easy to give up Il sal
airy of that size because 1t argues a
wealth which Is sufficient without It,"
I am willing to grant the fine spirit
which leads mel like Baruch, R0sen-
valid. Crane and House to give of their
time and money and genius to the
cause for which we are fighting. My
only care is to see that ] give In the
same proportion and In the same mood.
Without doubt there is less of con-
scienceless p%rofiteering In this wal
than in either the Civil war or the
Spanish war, but having granted this,
we are still confronted with the fact
that there are in America today II
great many men seeking ways to levy
tribute on those who are unable to
elude their demands.
No Objection to Fair Profit.
The s%hopkeeper no less than the
manufacturer, the pork-packer as well
as the cotton grower, are In this attack
on the pockets Of the consumer. The
process in the case of manufactured
articles is simple. Take. for convent
ent example. shoes. 1t Is true that hides
are somewhat higher, that labor Is
cOstlier, but as II matter of fact q
few cents will pay for the difference
In the cost Of the shoes on which the
retailer now asks a profit of four dol
lars. He has doubled the price. not be-
cause he must but because he nj
