The girdle ties in the pack and the
sash ends are finished with fringe.
A very recent notion is to extend
them below the waist in the form of
an apron, which hangs only in front.
That this is a novelty there is no deny
ing. When have we chopped off our
waists in the back and dropped them
in the front before? But it's novelty
is about the only thing to recommend
it, From the side of the effect is very
odd itself
The slip over the head' has Gre
ated perfect furore. Undoubtedly
it has the advantage of remaining
neat and trim for a sport wear, but
now that one finds 1t in cheap ma
terials, priced two dollars, more dis
eliminating women will probably give
it up, and return to the conventional
form.
BlouSeS High in Favor.
Though one-piece dresses are sup
posed to have taken the place of
suits, it is noticeable that blouses seem
to have as great a sale as ever, which
proves that somebody is wearing them.
As a matter of fact, the tailored suit
never loses its popularity completely,
and latest intelligences from Paris in
form us that it is gaining in favor
rapidly among French women, who
realize that its use, combined with
DlOuSeS, gives IndC LATITUDE TO the cos
tune which war times make desir-
able.
The blouse in the sketch is a late
development. 1t is rather formal and
worked out in biscuit-coIored satin,
with peplum and sash with fringed
ends. The collar is worthy of note
1t is made of white crepe de chine,
and is of the cape variety which
promised so well in the early part of
the season and did not materialize in
the later fashions. Many frocks
launched in February showed cape
like extensions, which were made
sometimes of contrasting fabric. This
is an idea which may easily appear
again in early fall clothes for it is in
creasingly apparent that the world is
growing tired of the Ubiquitous lin
gerie collar. Last year we wore inn
mense ones Of organdie and muslin,
but this year they are often reduced
to a mere line of white. Sometimes a
colored picot-edge ribbon is used as
the finish for the edge of frock or
blouse, with no white showing at all.
Sashes are decidedly 'in." Almost
everything is finished at the waist in
this way. We shall even see the lin
gerie frock with the colored ribbon
sash revived again as soon as the
weather is warmer. It is the feeling
for frocks without trimming that has
brought draped girdles to the fore.
Very plain frocks demand a softening
somewhere, and the sash is the ideal
place for it. In the reaction against
printed materials, of which we are
getting little toe much, one-colored
frocks, of chiffon, or Georgette, cut
simply, and depending upon the ex-

COTTON PRICE MAY

 PRESIDENT WILSON
War Industries Committee Will Make Inquiry Into Cotton Situation Before
 Step Is Taken

Washington, September 13.-President Wilson announced today that a fair price for raw cotton will be fixed if that should be deemed necessary, after the committee to be appointed by the war industries board has completed it's inquiry into the general cotton situation.
 During the investigation a separate committee of three soon to be named will buy cotton for the use of the United States government and the allies at prices to be approved by the President. Since most of the cotton of the country is required for war uses. this government buying is expected to stabilize prices
 The President said that the purpose Of the investigations to 5e conducted by the committee to be named by the war industries board is to devise methods for broadening the channels of distribu' ton and use of the great stock of low grades of cotton now practically un- marketable, for eliminating speculation and hoarding and apportioning foreign orders. The Presidents statement fol- lows:
 ''The demand for high grade cotton which is out of proportion to the avail able supply, and the fact that the gov ernment, through early agreements with the allies must act as a comomn buyer for allied purchases, make 1t necessary to secure some basis of distribution ot All grades of cotton. Based on the stand ard grades established by the depart 1nent of agriculture, an effort will be made to provide way by which the low grade cotton will be brought to sale and use along with the high grade cot ion. at reasonable and just prices.
