Heights to Which Cheap Clothes

best models instantly copied In cheap
materials, and sometimes slipshod
Workmanship, to be sold at small
prices.
1t is this trick over here. however,
that Is the despair of the high-priced
dresslnakerS and the delight of the
shops that sell cheap clothes.
The dressmakers rest their increas-
ing optimism concerning high-priced
clothes-an optimism based on the
fact that the dreSsmaking business
has not suffered since the war-on the
idea that women will always need to
be fitted for good gowns. The average
figure can buy the cheap gown; but
the fastidous woman cannot wear it
because it does not fit her, and the
woman who has figure that departs
from the normal, cannot even contem-
plate such gown.

The Medici collar is a symbol of the

life. II represents what the Three
Feathers Of Great Britain represent.
II Is more than fashion; it is the
symbol Of dynasty.
Now and then. II has fickered in

Mary; 1t was worn by debutantes on
stately gowns with trains quarter Of

Europe, and it may be revived this

II was made Of point lace, wired to

gulltless of all trimming and received
its high light from Il string Of pearls.
II was also worn In black cmbroid-

ROSE CLIMBS THREE STORIES
College-5red Flowers That Nestle In
Uncovered Wall Of University
of Washington.

They are college-bred roses and their
high education seems to have had q
very elevating effect on their aspira-
tons. Students on the University of
Washington cnmpus recently noticed
on an UNCOVERED wall of Denny hall,
way up on a level with the third floor
windows, spray of coppery roses, the
Seattle Post-1ntelligencer says. The
branch which bears them reaches out
from the heavy ivy vines and is the
only sign of rosebIsh in the neigh
borhood.
Some curiosity was aroused as to
whether the flower was grated on the
ivy or whether it was rooted in the
wall. Neither superstition was found
to be correct. A number of years ago
the rose blossomed modestly near the
ground. Then either the crowding of
the ivy or the lofty ambitions inspired
by the intellectual surroundings
forced it TO shoot up so that it could
extend its blossoms to the sun just
outside of the windows used by the
public-speaking and Spanish depart
ments.
Its long, branches stem is covered
by the ivy and its top fiourishes in the
soft and musical sounds fr~m the
Spanish room and the forceful oratory
from the public speakers.

Look at the Hat Cords.

A military man can Immediately
tell to what division a soldier belongs
by glancing at the cord on his hat,
but to the average citizen the color of
the hat cord denotes little or nothing.
1t is an interesting feature to be ia
miliar with, especially now when so
many soldiers are seen all over the
country, and anyone who takes the
trouble to learn the following list will
be rewarded by being able to satisfy
his own curiosity respecting any sol
der he happens to see without having
to ask questions: A cord of light
blue signifies that the wearer belongs
to the infantry; red denotes artillery /;
yellow, cavalry; bun, quartermaster's
corps; orange and white, signal corps |;
red and white, engineers corps; red
and black, ordnance; black and white,

cal corps; black and gold, officers |;

NEW EFFORTS
CALLED FOR

No one doubts that he will rise to
the opportunity for service placed be
fore him, any more than any one
doubts that he will play his other parts
in the perfectly co-ordinated fighting
machine revealed when America turned
as nation to win the war.
Not the least of these parts was his
participation in the financing of the
battle, though previous history had
written down much effort to finance
the farmer.
Rural districts were uniformly more
prompt than metropolitan areas in
their response to the Third Liberty
Loan. Honor flags first flew from
country flagstaffs, and those with the
greatest number of honor stripes like

The Third Liberty Loan, the great

doubly eclipsed by the Fourth Liberty
Loan.
