New Styles Out
of Old Fabrics

New York.-Paris is never handi.
capped in creating fashions by the
actions Of other designers. That is
why she is powerful. America has al.
ways suffered under this handicap be.
cause she has followed Paris, asserts
a prominent fashion authority. She
has been inclined to risk the
exploitation Of fabrics, fashions and
colorings that were not sponsored by
the mother of fashions.
1t is said of us that we acknowledge
the best in every nation and bring it
to our shores. We know the best in
every department of art, science and
literature. If we are compelled to put
u knowledge to practical use, we at
least have the best to so on. We are
not ignorant.
The tim has come for this expert
ment, as we oil know, and the observer
thinks that a few medals Of honor
should be distributed to those who
have gone cover the top" in designing
clothes in this country. It took great
commercial courage and it required a
sound knowledge. Of the American
public.
What France Did America Does.
Here are two anecdotes which &C
c%entuate the point. They happened q
dozen years apart. Mmet Paquin saw
several bolts Of checked silk in a man
ufacturer's hands. Neither the weave,
the coloring nor the design was in
fashion, to quote her own phrase. The
manufacturer complained that he had
no call for this quantity Of material
and that he would sell it for about
a franc and a half a yard. Nine. Pa
quin took it all, went to her salons
on the Rue de la Paix, turned the
cheap check silk into an alluring frock
of her w design, and then wore it
at Trouville-by-the-Sea. She made the
frock, the design, the color and the
fabric fashionable. Everyone wanted
to wear what she wore. She sold
every inch of the material at a price
that brought her unmeasured profit
on the transaction.
Last month an American designer
was looking over livestock of a lace
importer. Nothing new" said the
importer. "Here I am held up with
about fifty Spanish lace scarfs which
I bought at a venture, thinking I could
distribute them in the trade in Amer
lea, but no one took them. The M
answer was that they are not in
fashion,"
The designer said that If the i'm
porter would give him one he would
turn it into a gown that would sell
all the other scarfs, on condition that
he received a commission on their sale.
The bargain was closed. The gown
was designed. It sold Immediately.
1t was copied so fast that the other
40 scarfs melted away like flakes Of
soap in hot water. Spanish lace was
offered as a first fashion.
That is a good example Of the
change that has come over the Ameri-
can merchant and the American de-

charm and cleverness. If you could
have seen a woman who came into a
restaurant for dinner wearing a GER
tain black taffeta gown, you would
have been convinced in the twinkling
of an eye that the fabric matters moth
ing If the designer has c%leverness.
The skirt was made of narrow
ruf1les that extended from waist to
ankles, each rufle edged with a white
silk cord. The hem was excessively
narrow. The foundation for these
rufles fitted the figure like a sheath.
There was a bodice, straight and SIM
pie. and the major part of it was a

yoke with short sleeves which was
braided with white cord in a fantastic
design. At the side Of the waist was
a deep pink satin ose with green vel
vet leaves. The slippers and stock
tngs were green. There was nothing
demure about this black taffeta gown.
Treat Blue Serge in Various Ways.
Blue serge is a fabric that will al
ways be with us, as far as the manu-
f%acturers and the war board can look
ahead.
It is usually midnight blue, and,
given. a few yards Of it in this color,
the designers do not want to sit down
and turn it out into insignificant
frocks and inconspicuous suits.
A woman who came to a "defense''
luncheon one day wore a blue serge
gown that was the product of a clever
designer and it surely turned our
ideas about suits topsy-turvy.
The coat was split up the back as
well as the front. It was worn over a
long cuirass blouse, the kind that
gains in Importance every day. The
blouse was made of a richly embroid-
cred tricot in blue, black and dashes
Of dull red. It did not cling tightly to
the figure, but outlined it more than
usual. Over it hung the loose blue
serge coat, opening in a deep v in the
middle Of the front and the black. It
was closed at the neckline and had a
collar Of the serge. There was q loose
belt Of the material, and the skirt
was exceedingly narrow and short.
By the way, it is wise for any wom-
an who orders a new suit today to see
that the skirt has a sizeable hem, for
the new order to the shoemakers,
given by the government, which de-
mands low shoes for the duration of
the war, may change the skirt length.
1 doubt 1t. The length may be
changed, but it will not be because of
the low shoes, for CATERS, which are
made of fabric, may be as high las
desired, and. women prefer them to
high boots.
We may also adopt the French fash.
Ion Of wearing %serviceable Oxford ties
with straight heels and rounded toes,
The bootmakers say they have more
orders for these today than ever. With
such shoes the average woman does
not care whether her skirt is eight
or ten inches from the ground, unless
she is given to suffering from exposed
ankles.

When children read a book to them
selves the words do not leave the same
impression upon their minds as when
they hear them read aloud. When
some one reads a book to them they
learn how to pronounce those words
which puzzled them; and If they do
not know the meaning, it is easy to
ask.

William the Second, King of
Prussia and German emperor, de-
feated in his quarter-century
scheme to TeutoniZe the world, Will
have the distinction of going down
in history as the most Thoroughly
detested man that ever lived, with
possible exception of Judas lscariot.
His career may be divided into
the two aspects suggested here. Pre-
Vious to 1914 his entire life centered
around one idea. 1t possessed him,
It became fixed. Memoirs of men
ana women who met him, portraits
and speeches Of nim all gave evil
dence that the thought of mill
tary domination was the supreme
motive of his existence. Since 1914
that idea grew or lessened with the
degree of military success gained
by his troops. And since 1914 with
tile first atrocities in Belgium, the
execution of Edith Cavell, the sink
ing of the Lusitania, the crucifMon
OF Canadian and other allied SOL
diers, the unspeakable crimes
against the people of northern
France, against the Red Cross, the
warfare of gas and flame and
bombing expeditions against unfort-
fled towns-for all of which the
peoples of the rest of the world have
1elu inc hdlSST uiGCliy itSpOHSlblS
combined to make the German
emperor an object of eXecration.
In the early days of the war the
Kaiser was referred to as the sue
scessor of Attila the Hun, and the
German troops became known as
the Huns. But as the war pro-
gressed thinking people. began to
feel that this was doing grave in
justice to the ancient warrior who
ravaged Gaul and Italy.
His Divine Partnership Obscssion
To appreciate properly and to un-
derstand thoroughly the life of Will
liam the Second one must seek the
key in his proclamation to the Ger
man army when he assembled the
throne in 1888:
"A firm invincible devotion to the
War Lord is the inheritance of the
army, descending from father to son
from generation to generation. Thus
we are bound together | and my
army. We were born for one another
and we will hold inseparably to-
gether, whether God sends us days
of peace or strife"
In this statement the Kaiser fore
shadowed every action of his for the
next thirty years. Every speech he
made, every quotation from his pen
or tongue contained any one or all
of these elements: a." "Gott" and
the army.
Seven years later on the anniver-
sary of Sedan, he spoke as follows:
THE more people fall back on
catchwords and petty considerations,
the more firmly and surely do 1
reckon on the fact that my army
be it at home or abroad-will stand
ready to obey my wishes and my
signal"
Later came the dream of a great
navy, another instrument for CON
quering the world. What the Ger
man navy, as he conceived it, has
done in this war; aside from raids
on defenseless towns IN the north of
England, has been unimportant.
What the German submarines did
is another story, a story that reached
its climax when the United States
entered the war partly because of
these very submarines.

MANY BUSINESS
MEN TO ATTEND
CHAMBER LUNCH
Noted War Workers to Tell of
War Conditions in
Europe

A large number of the Harrisburg

have expressed their intention of at
tending the luncheon meeting of the
Chamber in the Board of Trade at
noon tomorrow, when Edward w.
| Box editor of the Ladies' Home
| Journal, and Ethan T. Cotton. inter-
national secretary in Russia for the
Young Mems Christian Association,
make their scheduled addresses. ,
Mr.. Box has just returned from
the western front, where he went on
an official mission. He spent several
months in the actual theater of war,
and has big live story to tell of the
American activities "over there"
| He is widely known as editor-in-
| chief of the Ladies' Home Journal.
! His reputation is known to many in
secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, is certain that he will prove
a big drawing card.
Good Speakers
Mr.. Cotton served for two years as
international secretary of the Y. NJ.
G. A. in Russia. He has just returned
from the war and anarChy-torn
country, where he had complete
charge of the Y. M. c. a. during the
bOSneNlkl uprising ana overthrow Oh
the Romonoff dynasty. AS director
in charge of more than one hundred
secretaries stationed in all parts of
Russia, he had an unusual oppor-
tunity to secure intimate, first hand
knowledge of the real internal con-
dition. The Russian situation pre-
sents one of the most difficult prob
lens resulting from the world war
and no man in the United States to-
day is better qualified to discuss this
subject with authority, Mr.. Jackson
says.
The speeches of Mr.. Box and Mr..
Cotton will have a particular signi-
ficance at this time, as they are thor
oughly conversant with the work of
the seven war relief organizations
for which $1S0,000 is being raised by
the United War Work Committee in
Harrisburg this week. They were
furnished as speakers for the Cham
ber of Commerce luncheon through
