COLLARLESS BLOUSE.

The collariess blouse continues to be good. There are no openings ap- parent on the blouses; some are clev- erly fastened on the shoulder, but the use of fancy buttons makes this sort of a fastening seem a trimming in- stead of a necessity.
 A high necked braided blouse, in suit shades, has panels braided and embroidered, in matching soutach.
 Embroidery is not only outline, but raised, and the flower centers, and shadow lines are developed by the use of jet beads, and of steel as well as colored Things in glass beads. The puff sleeve begins just above the el- bow and is the continuation of the kimono, to which it is attached by hemstitching. The wrist is finished with draw string cord of the same color as the blouse, tied in bow, so that it may be drawn together closely.
 Another sleeve, slightly puffed, be- low the elbow, has the wrist fitted with a narrow band and finished with a two-inch frill. The puffed section is slashed to expose the forearm, a dis tance of about three inches,
 Fancy buttons are extensively used. For the suit blouse, there is straight chemise shown with a peplum, made on Egyptian lines, and embroidered in ancient motifs and the colors pe- cu1iar to Egypt.

 FASHIONS SHOPPERS GUIDE

' GAN hardly walt to tell you of the
 stunning evening gown that MrS>
 stanhope ordered from Q sketcay de- scription Mme> Frances gave her.
 All the points of drs> stanhope's blonde iovslineSs were carefully considered be- fore Madame selected the colors she used on the dress.
 Madame chose the most vivid shade of green chiffon that you can possibly imagine as the background for Mrs. stanhope's golden hair. Then, to give the most definite contrast, black jet was combined with this exquisitely vibrant green.
 Madame says, in planning a dress, the light under which 1t is to be worn should be the first consideration. Colors have . way of changing in electric light If a gown Is for formal evening wear, where brilliant lights that cast a clear white or pale yellow radiance are the rule, the color will respond to this clear light and maintain its original shade. 1f on the other hand, 8 gown is to be worn at home or at dinners in private homes, where lamps are always shaded, the color must be considered in these surroundings. But 'the shade of green ln this gown looks well In any light.
 The bodice of black jet reaches to the proper height for square decollete This jet Is laid fatty around the body. A little fulness Is held In at tho waist by girdle of glacs taffeta- The centre of the girtlle is brick red The weave

NEW CLOAKS.

This seasons cloaks differ in several respects from those of last year. They are narrower in the skirt part, meas uring barely one metor 50 around. The best models are unbelted. Collars are tremendously important this sea- son.
 The shawl variety formerly seen is banished for the square shape, which extends almost to the waist in back. Another collar of the season, is one which Is like a miniature cape. Chernit, as I have written before, is responsible for the square collars and some of the furriers are copying 1t instead of creating their own styles.
 Cloaks are shorter by twO-or three inches than last seasons models, be- cause women wear their skirts shorter. Nutr1a coats which were for merly the rage" are now passe. They are seen although the majority of them are from last year Gray sQuir- rel is the fur of the moment and leads in novelties.
 The feature of a Hudson seal was centered in the upper corsage part, which assumed the outline of a bolero, made of beaver. The fronts met at the throat and threads of a scarf col lar of beaver, crossed over the shoul- der. The upper part of sleeves were of the beaver, the remainder of the black fur. The idea was absolutely new in fur combinations. More than this, it was a welcome change from the wide skirt band which designers formerly resorted to, when they want ed to use a combination.

AMERICAN WOMEN LEAD THE WORLD
They Have Beauty, Health
 ard Brains

"A really beautiful woman is al- ways a healthy woman," remarked one of our noted beauty specialists, flor true beauty comes from the blood and strong, steady nerves"
 Rich, red blood, the fountain of life and youth, shows itself in clear rosy skin, solid flesh, fine form and a keen bright mind. Red blooded women. with strong nervous vitality, are sought after by men; they are the hope and leaders of the world.
 American women lead the world in health, beauty and intelligence, and their number is increasing. They have learned the value of Iron and Phosphates in keping them in perfect condition.
 'The number of weak, pale, fagged out, run down and nervous women is bound to decrease rapidly, once the power of Phosphated Iron becomes more generally known" said a leading doctor. There is not reason in the world why women should not be strong, happy and a joy to look upon when the remedy is at hand.
 "Phosphated Iron has accomplished wonders with my patients. It has restored health, vitality, strong nerves and happiness to whole fani- lies. It's the healthy, red, iron blood ed, strong, phosphate-fed nerved men and women that enjoy life and lead in every work" Think 1t overI
 To insure doctors and their pa tients getting the genuine Phosphated Iron we have put in capsules only, so do not allow dealers to substitute pills Or tablets. Insist on capsules Hin dle's drug stores and dealing druggists everywhere.-Adv.

CONSERVATION WEEK
 FOR WORLD RELIEF

Washington, Dec. 2.---The food ad- mtnistration's conservation week for world relief" campaign got into full swing today over the country. It
 opened, yesterday with the reading in all the churches of a message from Food Administrator Hoover, who out lined the nations opportunity for re- newed sacrifice in feeding the mil-l lions of people in Europe released from German domination. Meetings of fraternal and other organizations under the auspices of the state ands county bodies began today and will. continue throughout the week. The need for the fulfillment of Americas food pledge for this year of twenty million tons will be dwelt upon. Every possibl avenue of reaching the public it was announced will be utilized dur ing the week.

ANTHRACITE INDUSTRY
 COULD MINE 300, 900 MORE
 TONS IF SOLDIERS RETURNED

The most welcome news to the anthracite industry, since the German surrender to the Allies, is the an nouncement of the War Department that all enlisted mine workers, who wish to resume their old occupations, will be honorably discharged by or ders of Secretary Baker and per mitted to go back at once to the anthracite region to mine coal. This action was taken upon the urgent re- quest of the Federal Fuel Administra- tion to aid the present difficult coal situation as to supply and demand.
 At present there are 34,O00 mine workers short in the region. The larger number of these men were drawn away by the draft and other causes It is figured by the War Department that it's present order will release about 7,50O mtneworkers. If all of them go back to their old jobs which are now awaiting them at higher wages than ever before-it is estimated that their return will ma terially increase the output of coal 100000 to 350,0O0 tons per month. This would greatly aid the supply and enable the anthracite committee of the U. s. Fuel Administration to use such gained tonnage under the 191S- 1919 coal year allotment, in satisfying demands of state fuel administrators, many of whom have been in confer ence with the committee, seeking more coal for many communities in their respective states.
 The return of absentee mine workers-thousands of whom are still on sick leave-would also work to speed up shipments. There is a dearth of labor among all the produc- ing companies, although the increased wages and prospect for continued full employment have brought many mine workers back to the region from war time jobs which very likely will soon end in many cases.
