MaCnificence Is not n characteristic
Of any of the dressier gowns for after
noon and evening these days, but they
rejoice in simplicity and elegance.
These are the Indispensable things In
wal time and the most satisfactory
I'm any time. Ingenuity in the manage
ment of simple trimming takes the
place Of lavish work In elaborate en-
troideries. About All the chance left
for milady to be splendid in sumptu-
Gus clothes lies In the direction of
iurs. Among these there are some SUI
perb pieces, hut they are bought for
q lifetime and so their ease and that
Of gowns are not parallel. They are

An afternoon ffOck as presented i IN
the picture seems almost too simple
to need a description. 1t is of blue
g%eorgette over an underslip of satin
and is made with a bodice and tunic
skirt. The tunic is plated onto the
plain crepe bodice at the waistline,
which is a little higher than the nor
NAL waistline of the underslip.
Straight bands of satin are applied to
the bodice. One Of them at each side
extends over the shoulder and down
the back. The three bands on the

low. They extend a little way over
the hand and are finished with a mar
row binding of satin. A bit Of white
geOrgette suggests an underbodice OF
this lovely fabric where it shows
through the lace at the shoulders and
above the satin at the square neck.
If this gown started out with a dec
laration of independence as to its out
lines, it makes amends by making the
most Of the vogue for long silk tassels.
There is a very long girdle Of the satin
that is wrapped about the waist,
crossed at the back and looped over
at the left side. The ends, finished
with long, handsome silk t~assels, fall
to the bottom of the tunic and a little
below the bottom of the skirt.
This gown Is becoming to almost any
type of figure. 1t is dignified and
quiet, but it is also brilliant. In the
picture a big black satin poppy adds
its fine silken sheen to the finish Of
an exquisite frock. 1t Is In black also,
but might be in some brilliant color IL

PASSING OF
CRIPPLE
By MARION COUTHOUY SMITH
OF 1ks Y6Noss-s

Through the dark clouds which have
gathered owe the whole world we see
at times a sudden CLEAN Of light, like
a passing glimpse Of the clear blue be-
You'd. 1t is a flash of prophecy, a brief
vision Of the renewed and purified
world which should follow upon the
tragic days Of the great conflict. In
the coming time we trust that there
will be not only a spiritual uplifting,
but a certain spiritualizing of material
tlings-a benefcent use of agencies
that have hitherto been selfishly or
narrowly applied. From the great
stimulus of danger and sacrifice, and
the nearness Of sorrow and death, we
Shall gain a keener and clearer under
standing. Old things will pass away.
To believe this is a part of the intense
faith and hope that we need to sustain
us through the stress of the dark hour.
Mechanical power takes it's character
from the spirit that uses it. All ma
chinery Is but an immense extension
OF the hands and of the soul of man.
AS the power within him is, so is the
power with which he reaches out
through the universe, for death and de-
structiOn, or for life and renewal. The
Germans are using mechanical power
inadvertently and diabOlically, accord
ing to their natures. But in right
human hands, 1t is. and will be in the
future to a still greater extent, a strong
agency in the restoration of the world.
No More Useless cripples.
We have here to consider It as ap-
Piled by surgeons to the rebuilding of
broken bodies, and so directly as a
sustaining power to the souls of men.
Hitherto In most cases a MANNED man
has been a broken man. With the con-
victiOn that he is practically useless,
and with that strange false shame that
makes him feel his disability as a dis.
grace. merely because it is c~onspicu-
GUS, most crippled men have been lit
orally down and out. If poor, they have
become beggars; If rich, they have
dragged out a weary and sOrrowful ex-
~istence, with the loss of hope that
comes from makeshift occupations and
from the sense of helplessness. To this
condition, of course, there have been
shining exceptions-men who have
fought their disabilities %valiantly, and
whose courage and enterprise have
won for them high places, even In the
industrial world.
But hitherto these men have been re-
garded as exceptional. The aim now is

OF WHAT ARE
WE THINKING?
By GEORGE BARR McCUTCHEON
OF The Vgti0nsss

What is in the mind Of the Ameri-
can citizen while 1.-THE Star Spangled
Banner" is being played?
OF what are we ~thinklngf
Are We thinking of the flag and all
that 1t stands for, or are Jul minds
otherwise engaged?
OF course, it Is reasonably certain
that we are thinking of something.
but have our thoughts the slightest
connection with the message our flag
is carrying to the enemy?
We Obediently arise with the first
sonorous note of the anthem and we
remain standing till the end. We have
learned, or we are learning, to "face
the music" more or less at attention.
and we are developing the conviction
that it Is an Offense to chatter while
the strains Of our val song, perhaps
our death song. fill u ears. But are
we thinking of 1.-THE Star-Spangled
Banner?
Or are we silently urging the mu-
sicians to hurry up and be done with
1t SO that we may resume an inter-
rupted occupation? Are We. impa-
tiently waiting to take up a broken
conversation; a game of bridge; the
telling Of a story; the reading Of a
newspaper; the liberal art Of criti-
Ching the war department., the navy
or the administration; or, what is in
finitely incompatible, exploiting
the hateful efficiency Of the foe?
1.-THE star-spanoIed Banner"
We sit in public places, and we
arise because we are in public places.
We suspend for the moment our phys
ical interests and we look about us
to see If other people are doing the
same? Some of us get up grudgingly
and stand as we happen to have been
sitting, with our backs to the music:
some of us go on knitting; others Of
us continue to keep Our hands In DUR
pockets and our cigars In our mouths; |
others think that nothing more is re-
quired of them than the lowering of
the voice to an undertone: others con-
slider q bland expression of resigna-
ton to be efficient; and some fall into
an attitude of tolerant submissiveness. |
There is little or no evidence Of ex-
altation, no sign of an inward thrill.
no suggestion Of a profound emotion.
The beautiful, inspiring concentration
of thought that attends the "Afarseil-
laise" Is lacking; the ~full-hearted SEN
sation that glorifes Rule Britannia"
is absent; even the fervor Of the leu
ton as symbolized In cultural acclaim
Is sadly wanting. We. the most imag-
NATIVE. the most alert people in the
world, are totally devoid of imagina-
ton during the rendition Of our a
song.
Why should we not think, Or even

to have all manned persons so restored
to usefulness as to do away with the
stigma Of disability. The sO-called
Cripple" is to pass away. He Is to be
rendered capable Of doing, not a Grip
pies job. but a mans job; and his
ability to do 1t Is to be an everyday
commonplace fact. If only people ut
large will realize that this can be, ac-
cept 1t as a right. and regard 1t as a
duty SO to accept 1t, the miracle will
take place as surely as that the green
earth will be restored In spring.
The soldier has a better surfing
point than the average civilian, because
he Is not ashamed Of his incomplete
body. He is proud of 1t ! 1t has placed
him on the roll of honor, as one hurt
in the worlds defense. We all know
with what gentle and noble pride the
old G. A. II. man carries his empty
sleeve. So now, in a far greater de-
gree. we shall have an army of men
whose injuries are their pride and
glory, If only they can have ut the
same time the bodily power to move
and to work that sustains the life Of
the soul.
Employment for All.
They can have it freely. The gov
eminent will take care Of this. If the
people will understand, and avail them
selves of what is offered them. Already
in France hundreds of men are work.
ing skillfully in fields, shops and fac
tories with new and better appliances
than were ever known before. The skill
and toll of surgeons and inventors have
been earnestly and tenderly applied to
the deep need Of this noble army of
sacrifice, and with greater results than
we could have believed possible.
1t Is wonderful to see what these
Frenchmen. with their high spirits and
fine responsive natures, are able to
do! Their smiling faces and keen &C.
tivity show their sane and cheerful out
look upon the future. They are men,
not cripples. The amazing c~Ontrivances
that help them, particularly the me-
chanical arms and hands, are not beau
tiful, but they have the attractiveness
of a~daptability. They are creators. Out
of the creative energy of a mans soul
they come. bringing creative energy to
another mans body, and thence also to
his soul. They are truly a mighty ex-
tension of his power beyond the limits
imposed by nature and by calamity.
From the soldiers this stream Of
energy will extend to others,
and in time we shall see on the streets
no more crippled beggars, and in homes
no more helpless wretches, waited on
hand and foot by tired relatives and
friends. Men and women we shall have.
