Negligee or boudolr garments built
on Turkish lines are general favorites
with designers of this class of apparel,
and q woman who has once possessed
and worn bifurcated boudoir garment
of this type cannot but admit that 1t is
extraordinarily comfortable. However,
If 1t Is to be the really beautiful gar

rich fabrics must be used in its devei-
Opment. Every woman is not willing
Or able to spend a large sum on gar

Portable only in her own room.
The sketch illustrates two-in-onc
negligee that is well worth considering
and developing. The underneath part
of the outfit consists Of comfortable,
loose Turkish trousers with an equally
loose and equally comfortable blouse.
The two garments are attached so they
do not slip apart at the waistinc.
A wide soft sash should be made to
match or harmonic with the trouser
and blouse garment.

georgette or other sheer fabric trans
forms this simple negligee into grace

FOR THE YOUNG. GIRLS ROOM
Attractive Substitutes May Be Found
for Silver Toilet Sets That May
Be Found Too Expensive.

The little girls dressing table liz
often the cause of much perplexity.
Sister wants toilet articles like the
grOwn-ups of the family, but silver
brushes, combs, and powder boxes are
| not for the extremely young. Mothers
often find the price is beyond what
can be spent on the younger members
of the family's extras" and more
often these mothers feel that the care
the silver articles would receive would
not justify their purpose.
However, interest in her own room
and possessions must be stimulated
in the little girl, and cheaper SUBJ
stitute for the silver toilet set can be
found.
Possibly she already possesses an
imitation ivory set. If SO, use that as
the foundation. If she does not pos
sess one, they will be found at rea-
sonable prices in the shops. If sister
is nimble with her fingers she may
paint on the back of the brush and on
the top of the powder box, etc., ce-
sign of flowers-possibly copied from
the cretonne hangings. If the task Is
too much for little fingers, surely some
older member of the family could ac-
complish it for her. Little sisters de-
light at her 'lovely toilet set" would
be plenty Of recompense for the trou-
BILE.
Sometimes one will find that medi-
cine used in house has been deliv-
cred in a bottle of good design. Do
not throw these bottles away when
you have used their contents. If they
possess glass shoppers. scald them out,
paint design on their sides, stripe
them with some gay eolors, and 10 and
behold they are transformed into a
toilet bottle. A set of such bottles
decorated to match the design on tho
brush and comb would make q de-
lightful addition to the young girYs
dresser.

Satin and Serge.

Women have heard so much about
satin and serge frocks for several sea-
sons that some are growing tired of
them. But the present war conditions,
with consequent shortage of wool, are
likely to make the continuation of the
frock of serge and satin feasible. For,
of course, frock made of serge and
satin does not require as much wool as
one made all of serge. Gabardine, too,
is to be combined with satin in the new
frockS. ~

Smart Effects of Belts.

Belts are very wide and define the
waistline without drawing it in. Many
of the straight dresses have a band

the two colors. Much the same effect
is produced by lining satin with stock

A good effect could be produced by
using peacock green satin for the I'M

"Hunger is the Kaiser's best weap-

This is why it is making it possible
for high school girls in New York state
to help farmers in the fields; for col
lege girls in the Middle West to do
general farm work; for Polish women
in New Jersey to pick potatoes and for
boys and girls across the continent In
Washington to gather fruits.
All this work is part of the cam
paign to "save the crops and beat the
Huns"
It is the aim Of the Y. W. G. A. to
demonstrate the best ways Of housing
and feeding farm laborers and so take
the burden from farmers wives.
In all the places where women are
working under the direction Of the Y.
W. C. A. a house is provided for the
Iaborers, with a supervisor in charge
The supervisors business is to make
all business arrangements with the

Y. ". C. A. WORK

Twelve social centers, or foyers, as
they are called by the French, are run
by the American Y w. G. A. for girls
and women who are working IN the
great munition factories of France.
Two of these are in st. Etienne ana
three in Lyon. All have cafeterlas
connected with them
Girls and women who work IN these
factories are of all classes and ages,
but all are French. The men en-
ployees are of every nation-Chinese
Cingalese, Algerian, Moroccan and
Portuguese. Many of the women are
refugees. Multitudes have lost every
relative and friend. There are daugh-
tiers, mothers and grandmothers among
them
These foyers are the only place ex-
cept the street that the majority nave
in which to spend their out Of work
hours. Barracks for sleeping, eating
and bathing are the only provision
made for the comfort of the workers
by the management Of the factories.
The women and girls meet their
men and women friends in the foyers,
sew, write letters, press out their
waists, stitch on the sewing machines,
read and rest. The rooms are their
homes. Games and entertainment are
provided and educational classes. OF
the classes the English ones are by far
the most popular.
All these foyers are sanctioned by
the French Ministry of War.

HOW THE MONEY is SPENT
United States Government Makes Pub
lie Figures on Huge War Expendi-
lures in Connection With the
Fourth Liberty Loan.

drive, which opens September IS and
continues three weeks, to lend the
government at least twice as much
money as has been asked before, the
treasury department realizes that
there is a natural curiosity on the
part of the public to know for what
all this money is being expended.
The amount already spent on prepar-
alton and the maintenance OF the
fighting forces staggers the magma
ton, and the prospect is for an even
larger expenditure in the present fis-
cal year, the total being estimated at
from $24,00O,0O0, to $4,000 100000.
Figures received at Liberty loan head
quarters for the Seventh federal re-
serve district from the war depart
ment give an idea of the vast sums
which have been expended, and which
will have to be spent, to win the war,
and this information brings home to all
Americans a concrete idea Of how
much it takes to wage a modern war
and how our money is being used to
win victory. The following figures
are an answer to the query Of the
average Liberty bond buyer: Just
what will Uncle Sam dc with the
money from my $500 bond? A single
bond does not go far toward meeting
the expense of war, it is pointed out,
but when the bonds of millions of
Americans are brought together, the
total of cash provided reaches stupen-
dOus totals. The total amount of
money directly appropriated by CON
gress for the ordnance program, or for
which authorization has been given
to incur obligations, amounts to APP
proximately $12,OOO,OOO From
the beginning of the war TO June 80,
1918, the last day of the last fiscal
year, contracts were placed by the
ordnance department from appropra-
tons and authorizations existing at
that time amounting to 100000 600.
It is now estimated that during the
present fiscal year ending June ~,
1919, the actual cash expenditures for
ordnance will reach total of $1,000
100000. The major items for which
cash expenditures were made. or for
which contracts were placed up to

The following illustrative figures of
auartermaster purchases are interest
ing. For example, take six standard
articles of food. Since the beginning
of the war there have been bought for
army use 625,461 1892 pounds of flour
at a cost of $43,375, AS; 1862, 1916
pounds Of sugar at a cost of 1862
SIP; 11O,451 $40 pounds of bacon at
cost of $43,OOO,0OO; 1O2,S94, 742
pounds of dry beans, costing $12,613,-

ing $9,278,121, and 38,421, 256 pounds
Of rice at a cost of $2,775,OOO. These
figures give one an idea Of the size Of

huge cost of army maintenance. The

THE PRESIDENT is RIGHT

The Presidents reasons for vetoing
the bill fixing the price of $2.40 q
bushel for wheat is convincing in its
logic. The necessity for the stimula-
ton of production is recognized, and
has been recognized from the begin
ming of the war, but the present crop
is indisputablc evidence that the exist
pg provisions are sufficient to justify
the farmers in doing their very best
to produce extraordinary quantities of
wheat, and their undoubtable patriot
ism will not permit them to reduce
their efforts from mere piquc. 1t was
right to assure the farmers of a GER
tain return, and this has been accom-
plished by the present regulations, but
the additional price would be merely
heavy tax on the consumer, already
overburdened, without helping the
government or assisting in the prose-
cution of the war. The President
shows that the price proposed would
mean an increase of So barrel in the
price of flour, placing an additional
burden upon the consumer of $751;
100000 this year. And not only the
American consumer would be effected.
The people of Great Britain, France
and Italy, whom we are trying so hard
to help, would be weighted down with
a still heavier load.
Bread, indeed, is the staff of life,
and wheat is the essential clement of
bread. We may use corn and rye and
barley and rice as aids in the saving
Of wheat, but none the less wheat re-
mains the first food requirement of
human existence. The farmer should
have adequate compensation for his
labors, for he is entitled to it, but,
as the President says, "by an over
whelming majority of the farmers of
the United States the price admins
tratively fixed has been regarded as
fair and LIBERAL and the additional
price is not justified by circumstances
nor warranted by expediency. The
cost of flour should be kept as low as
possible. A material increase in the
general cost of living would necessar-
lily follow upon such an advance in the
price of wheat as the vetoed bill pro-
posed 1t would be an advance that
would strike every home in the coun-
try, and every home in the lands of
our friends and associates beyond the
waters. We should not add to the
burdens Of the people except under
the pressure of the greatest necessity.
There is no such necessity in this case,
and the President is right in manifest
ing his disapproval.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
