Having undertaken the wearing of
pajamas women proceeded to feminine
them. They have developed these SEN
slble sleeping garments into many
dainty conceptions of the original and
have produced, in the process, attrac-
tive new sleeping garments that are
neither pajamas o nightgOwns.
There are one-piece and twO-piece pa
jamas, pajamas with slipover manda-
rim coats and others with short jackets
like that shown in the picture. Wash
satin, crepe de chine and geOrgette 60
to make up these very modern concep-
tons Of the originally plain and prac-
tical pajamas. They are called boudoir
pajamas; those with jackets or man
DARN coats proving the most dignified

If n determines upon silk for sleep
Ing garments the soft texture Of wash
satin and crepe de chine, and the sheer
ness of georgette along with their
dainty colOrings, are sure to inspire
gay and frivolous affairs like that
shown in the picture. Nearly all the
bOudoir pajamas, however, are less
fanciful than these which exaggerate
the style In order to call attention to
1t. The pantalettes are of plain satin
with crepe g%eorgette set in at the sides
between front and back pieces tied to-
gether with satin ribbon bows. The
short jacket of satin has sleeves Of
plated geOrgette ending in a ruffie with
u ribbon band above it. The collar Is

or January. Winter suits are offered
at bargain prices then, and early
spring styles have appeared, enticing-
ly new and tempting. The shopper is
torn between two minds, and no n

be decided by the climate she lives In,
the kind Of service she requires of the

other personal matters.
Winter and spring styles compare

The coat approves the conservation of
wool by being short, enforcing its
opinion especially in the back Of the
garment. which is shorter than the
front. This is II fine model for n slen-

Fiber silk to Be Popular.

fabrics in both silk and wool continues
to be a dominant feature of garment
and style development. For veal dur
ing the coming spring season fiber silk,

sweaters, will be used in both sport
suits and dresses. Several textile
houses have brought this fabric out,
giving it fanciful trade names, but it
is nothing more nor less than fiber silk.

Why is the United States at war
with Germany Why all this prepara-
ton, expense. and jeopardy Of thou
sands Of American lives? Are we
fighting the battles Of England, France,
Italy and Russia? Are we In the war
to pull the chestnuts Of the allies out
Of the fret Are we fighting to help
them recover lost territory or to &C.
Quire new possessions? Why do we
fight at all2 Why not employ peace

These questions are now being asked
not infrequently. especially by Ger
man propagandists, by a few disloyal
natives, and by some unintelligent and
unpatriotic pacifsts.
The main answer to these enemies
of America within and without is sim
pie. We are at war with Germany pri-
marily to assert and to defend our
rights, to make good our claim that we
are a free nation, entitled to exercise
rights long recognized by all the ma
lions Of the world, to exercise these
rlgntS W|tnOut restraint or dlctat10n

tarists, to have the kind Of institu-
lions we wish. and to live the kind Of

are at war with Germany because Ger
many made war on us, sank our ships,
and killed u citizens who were 60
ing about their proper business in
places where they had a right to be,
travelling as they had a right to travel.
We either had to fight or to keep our
citizens and ships from the seas
around England, France and Italy, or
to have our ships sunk and our people
killed.
We did not make this war. Ger

Declares War Zone.
February 4, 1915, Germany declared
that on and after February Is, 1915,
she would regard the waters around
Great Britain and ireland, including
the channel, al a war zone and that
every enemy merchant ship would
be destroyed without possibility Of
avoiding danger to crew and passen-
gers" She pointed out that 1t would
not always be possible to prevent neu-
trail vessels from becoming victims Of
submarine attack. This action was
without the color of j%ustifcation in In
ternatlonal law. Her only legitimate
course was to declare and to effect a
blockade and then, having done so, to
intercept enemy vessels, discriminating
between enemy and neutral vessels,
enemy and neutral cargoes, in the case
of neutral ships captured to take to
prize courts only those carrying con-
traband, to sink vessels only in ex-
traordlnary circumstances, and in
every case to give safety to crew and
passengers and to preserve all papers
Of ships sunk OF captured. Because Of
the allied fleets. 1t was impossible for
Germany to do these things by the use
Of instruments heretofore employed.
She could attempt them only with a
new device, the submarine. .
PROFESSIONALLY, new conditions of
war had arisen and new means for
waging It had come into existence;
and, just as 1t was recognized that
fleets could not be held to a close
blockade Of ports, the old three-mile
blockade, 80 1t was tacitly admitted
that a submarine could not be expected
to capture and take a ship into port,
but might sink 1t provided It practiced
visit and search for purposes Of dis
elimination, safeguarded the lives of
crew and passengers and, therefore,
gave ample warning to vessels and did
not sink them in places or under con-
ditions in which noncombatants could
not secure safety.

From the very earliest ages man has
lo"ed sweet .odors. In the Bible we
read of the burning of incense on the
affairs and the very word perfumery
(under which head we may include all
delicate fumes or smells) comes from
the Latin fumus, smoke or vapor. The
early Egyptians knew the use of the

Of the odorous principle from fragrant
plants, but the most ancient odors
were drawn from natural gums, such
as camphor, myrrh and cinnamon.
