In America we grow easily tired Of

The Kimono as a Model.
Still another is the kimono gown
which is the new substitute for the
ubiquitous twelfth century chemise
robe. Premet started to use the kimono
as a model for smart frocks about half
a dozen years ago, but it was not so
bald a bit OF thievery as has happened
today. There are gowns that are ac-
fully klmonos, made Of blue serge,
o hind part before and departing
from the original by having the en-
b~roidery done at the hip-line instead
OF at the hem Still another departure
is the fact that they are not padded at
the hem.
1t is curious that ever to the con-
servative eve, this kimono gown does
not look too careless and intimate a
costume to make ats appearance on
the street. The American designer
has done something to the cut thai
shapes the seams into a most decent
outline, and there is n o effect Of a
wrapper in the result.

STRETCHING PARIS TO
 MEET THE NEEDS OF FRANCE THE RED CROSS HAS HELPED WHERE GOV
 ERNMENTS WERE HELPLESS

The avalanche of refugees that swept into Paris from the north of France had been the despair of the civil authorities. These homeless, stunned people were new responsi bility to be added to the thousands of wounded men that came steadily from the shambles of the west front.
 Paris Is an old city. It was not ready to take in its neighbors' chil- dren. Its population was already a tight fit. So 1t made the best of its poor hospitality by offering up it's gar rets. New building construction seem- ed impossible. Men. were scarce. The mechanic was either manning the trenches or fighting the fight in the war factories. Paris was distracted.
 It is wonderful indeed how nobly Paris tried to meet this condition And 1t is remarkable how Paris met 1t with the aid of our own Red Cross Unhampered by red tape or precedent, our Red Cross put on overaIls and Jumper, carried the bod. became archi- tect, engineer and contractor and went into the building of homes. Here was a church lot that lay vacant; here an unfinished hospital; there a worn out

building, all of which in a fortnight were started on their way toward new apartments, rooms and sleeping wards.
 We here at home who associate the great Red Cross movement with band ages and white gowned nurses must lose this old illusion in the light of thousand other works for humanity.
 In this case we see the Red Cross first as diplomats convincing the civil authorities of Paris as to their ability to remedy the situation. then as architects remodeling buildings, chang ing building plans, hiring labor gath cred by themselves from the ex-sol- diery and the older man, all the while working under every imaginable hand icap, while Father Time cried, Get 1t done, get 1t done"
 So out of the garrets came these de spairing people to find new hope in clean homes, to get new cheer out of sheer bodily comfort and fresh cour- age to again take up the great trust that France has kept so well-"to car " on." It is not strange that our French brothers believe in your own Red Cross just little more than you do. But should this be7

Japan and China

NTIL the details of the defensive al
- lance entered into between the gov
ernments OF Japan and China known, it
is impossible to determine whether the in
terests of the United States have been dis
regarded in concluding these negotiations.
State Department officials, however, are I'M
perturbed by the development. and 1t may
be assumed that their information convinces
them that the pact is accurately de-
scrbed defensive" alliance designed to
safeguard the Far East from possible Ger
man aggression through Siberia. Manfestly
these two Oriental nations have q right to
unite against a common enemy and to do so
without consulting with any other power,
allied otherwise.
That body OF Americans. however, which
distrusts anything that Japan sets her hand
to may be expected TO see i'll the new treaty
n very grave menace to the United States
and to all nations which pretend to have in
terests in the Far East They probably will
imagine that the real object Of the Japs III
proposing and concentrating strictly mill
tary alliance with China is the creation OF
vast system OF \Oriental militarism, dom
mated by Japanese statesmen. Differed by
Japanese leaders and projected with the idea
OF enforcing Japanese control OF Eastern
Asia. The safer guess is that Japan is ac-
tually alarmed at the possibility OF German
appropriation Of Russia and o Germanys in
tense ambition to force herself into the
Orient. Berlin accomplished this very thing
only few years ago, when, under threat
OF war, she prevailed upon Great Britain.
France and Japan to grant her a sphere of
influence" in the Far East The colonies
then established by Germany were wrested
from her by the Japs early in the present
war.
Japan announced her Willingness not to
say eagerness, three months ago to under
take a Siberian campaign which would have
estopped the Germans from conquest in that
direction. Although every other allied
power consented to this proposal. the United
States withheld its approval. Because OF the
negative position taken by this government
Japan abandoned for the time all its exped-
tonary plans respecting Siberia. The
chances are that the Tokyo officials finding
themselves unable to carry out their original
program without disregarding an expressed
| wish OF an ally, undertook TO prepare for
the defense OF her rights through an alliance
| with China.
