THE ECONOMIC PENALTY.

When bloyd George says that "the
longer the war lasts the sterner must
be the economic terms we impose on
tho foe" no one better understands
the gravity of his warning than the
astute business men of Germany it
self.
OF economic penalties there are two
kinds. Governmental war after the
war" as proposed by the Paris Con-
ference would be dubious matter.
No European power, unless utterly
crushed will submit to such terms as
Germany has temporarily imposed on
Rumania. For the record, peace
must be peace.
Bat retaliation by individuals is
another matter. The longer the war
lasts, the more ACohu0A ""o00
many sinks, the more field hospitals
she bombs, the more cathedrals she
ravages, the more men and girls she
drags into slavery, the more atroci-
ties she commits or condones in her
allies-nay, the more a long war fixes
attention upon the inquities of the
German political systematic greater
will be the number of those who VIII
buy no German goods and have 20
dealing with Germans for years to
come.

which we are especially urged to con-
serve. This one is for peanut brittle:
One cup Of white corn syrup. one
tablespoon OF vinegar. a quarter Of a
teaspoon of salt. one teaspoon OF va

nuts. Cook the corn syrup, vinegar

II
Is an easy task to devise argu-
ments in reply to the state
ment that in this time Of universal
food shortage It Is an act of selfish
ness and inhumanlty to maintain dogs
in our homes. Still It Is obvious that
no woman Of patriotism and sound
sense would indulge n dog with choice
food in these days. Women used to
buy steaks and chops to have cooked
specially for the dog members Of their
families. or course. no one does this
now. And on a diet containing less
meat and less sweets Fido surely
thrives better.
The patriotic thing to do. so far as
your dog is concerned. Is to make
him eat actual scraps from the table.
n We can use things that cannot pos
sihly be turned to account in any other
way In maintaining a friend 30 loyal
and consoiing as a pet dog. then we
really might take credit to ourselves
for having achieved something real
In the way of conservation.
But the food problem Is not the only
one that faces the dog lover. Recently
1t was decided. az part OF the wool

a certain silhouette.
It IL q dominant note in what Paris
has done for the American trade for
three months. It Is a bit new to US.
but II IL wise to look into It well and
consider 1t seriously. because after all
the silhouette . moro important than
the choice Of material or color. II you
get your lines right you can take q
great deal Of liberty elsewhere in your
costume.
This new trick II q definite attempt
to put fulness at the sides Of the figure
and therefore broaden the fiat outline
that IL presented from the front or the
back. Short Jackets are pushed back
to give fulness under the arms; long
ones are pushed back to give fllness
from shoulder to knee. ara new
frocks are especially designed with this
silhouette In mind.
There Is q smart new blue serge from
Paris that has all its fulness arranged
from under the arms to the hem Of the
skirt. This fulness is made up from
succession Of pleats that are held in
over the hips by bands Of military
braid that cross the middle Of the
front and seem to broaden the outline
by several inches.
There Is no effort to widen the hem
of the skirt by means Of its fulness.
1t Is securely pressed or stitched In
place. for as skirts grow longer they
grow narrower.
skirts Sweep Instep.
It is difficult to talk Of economy and
conservation in respect to a brand new
fashion that Is hurled Mt US out Of the
blue. Yet the combination is not only
possible but oftentimes satisfying.
What Is called the new skirt was
advanced last December in America
by American designers. and It had been
exploited here for house gowns six
months before. SO 1t Is not new. L.
might be called a purely American de-
sign. although the house that exploited
It for the evening Is under the strong
est French influence. However. 1t was
an Independent action and had nothing
to do with inspiration from Paris.
The second American house that
started the long skirt for the street
acted in an Independent manner. This
skirt was not taken up, although IL
was constantly worn by the woman
who designed 1t. We are rather slow
to catch on to a new fashion, but when
we do like It we overdo 1t.
Therefore 1t 10 likely that the
long skirt will become an accepted
thing in mass before Thanksgiving.
