other states and countries removed
from seaboards and markets these peo-

The responsibility OF this country has
not slackened with the end OF the war
but increased. This is a plain human
question. Either vast number Of people
starve or we save enough to keep them
alive. This is winter time and corn

Advice for Husbands.

Most words of wisdom that fall from
the pens of experts on the subject OF
love are written for women. Appar-
entity these little sermons are written
with the idea that only mans love Is
worth keeping and that woman's can
not possibly last.
We are told that man must never be
bored by trlfling domestlcities, but in
stead be encouraged to talk about his
business, and so on. Why should it
be addressed to one sex only?
Why not say to husbands: Remem-
Der that women are women and that
their great need Is for love. Love Is
their vocation, the thing they do best,
their greatest need in life. Why should
the wife be expected to listen admir-
ingly To the husbands tale of routing
of a commercial rival when he does
not show an equal courtesy when she
describes her experiences Of the day?

GAY HUES f. PREVAIL
Some Petticoats Match Trimming
Of the Millinery or Gown
Many Women Refuse 70 Discard Gar
ment Despite Coming Of Marrow
Skirt Into Fashion Again.

Petticoats are said to be going out OF
fashion because narrow skirts are COM
Ing into fashion again. Nevertheless.
there are many women who will never
be prevailed upon. style or no style, to
discard the most feminine garment of
the wardrobe.
For them have been provided many
charming models Of soft silks and of
chiffon taffetas. These materials do
not add any perceptible bulk to the
silhouette, while they give just enough
backing or foundation to the dress to
preserve the original lines.
The black petticoat Is rarity. One
no longer considers the extremely prac-
teal phase Of dress, but regards 1t
more or less Of duty to wear cheerful
clothes. If purple and scarlet, green
and yellow are too pronounced for out
er hablliments, then they may be mere
ly glimpsed beneath the tailored skirt
or the trotteur of serge or satin.
II is pretty idea to have the petit
coat match the trimming Of the MILL
merry or Of the gown, II the latter shows
garniture of a contrasting color.
Some women have the petticoat Of n
color corresponding with the hosiery
but II the former is very gay, 1t is
questionable taste to extend its jubi-
liant note to the ankles and thereby
practically destroy the charming effect
Of the color suggestion in the under
garment.

FUR TRIMMINGS SAVE FABRIC
Materials by Using Only a Lining
Underneath Very Deep Bands.

Thrifty designers Of manufacturers
of coats and suits on which fur Is
employed as trimming often use
very deep bands Of fur about the coat
with only lining underneath, so that
the expensive material of the garment
Is economical and elbow deep cuffs
on the sleeves may be set over lining
only, also.
If extravaganza seems to be pres
ent in the form Of an ultra long suit
coat the wearer may point to the fact
that this coat covers a skirt that Is
sheathlike as to width, and that could
not possibly be part of suit EN-
ploylng a short or medium length coat.
The fabric shortage and necessity
for conservation are real; but women
must he well dressed, and designers
are doing their best to meet condl-
tions as they are.
