AN APPEAL FROM
ANTI-SUFFRAGISTS

The executive committee OK the
Mems Anti-Suffrage Committee
| Tuesday sent out a letter to every
member of the Legislature asking
them not to vote for the ratification
| of the Susan B. Anthony suffrage
| amendment at the special session
which will be held sometime next
month. The last Legislature passed
an act giving the, women the right to
vote for presidential electors and the
supreme court decided that the act
was subject to the provisions of the
initiative and referendum law in this
State. The court decision came too
late for the people to vote on the
matter at the special election held
this month on other questions, so the
matter IS now pending.
The communication declares that
| it would not be fair to ratify the suf-
! frage amendment while the question
| of giving women the right to vote for
Presidential electors is pending.
The communication is signed by
Charles S. Hichborn of Augusta,
chairman, Harry r. Virgin of Port
land, secretary. Alfred K. Ames of
=, Machias, Oliver L. Hall of Bangor,
Sherman L. Berry of Waterville,
| Cyrus N. Blanchard of Wilton and
Frank E. Mace of Augusta.
The communication Is as follows:
You have been asked to give your
opinion as to whether or not the
LEGISLATURE at the coming session,
, shall act upon the question of wom-
en- suffrage.
| This committee cannot repress its
amazement that such proposition
shall even be considered while the
referendum is pending.
May we ask your indulgence for a
moment?

cuss women suffrage: a far more inn
portant thing than that is to be con-

prerogative, have demanded a right
to vote upon suffrage.

promises the opportunity, if they so
demand.
"And yet. without granting them
that opportunity, it is debated wheth-

pie have been allowed to vote-as to

VALUE OF SAVINGS
BECOMES APPARENT
One of Great Lessons Of War 10 That
OF National and Individual Thrift
Now Rapidly Growing

Now that the new German govern.
ment has accepted the inevitable, and
has officially signed the peace terms
dictated by the allies and the coun-
tries associated with them, the great
est and most disastrous war that ever
scourged the world is ended.
For nearly five years the world has
been topsy-turvy. The things that
we're needed yesterday are no longer
required, and the activities Of the
great war establishments and NUM-
ton plants are being diverted to the
manufacture of implements OF peace.
There must now be readjustment.
Governments that have thought in bill
lions and spent money with lavish
hand, must retrench and think In mil
lions and even smaller amounts, and
must gain new perspective.
Viewed in the retrospect the part
played by America in the great world
war is one of the most glorious chap
tiers in history. And in the making OF
this brilliant history the plain Ameri.
can citizen played stellar role. The
mountains of munitions, the equip
ment for the millions Of soldiers, the
great ships that carried the men
across the ocean, could not have been
provided had not the common people
Of America provided the money.
Much Of this money was obtained
through the sale Of Liberty Bonds
and War Savings and Thrift Stamps.
This great volume Of money has not
been wasted. First it brought perma-
nent peace to the world, and now taat
real peace is here, every cent that was
so invested will come back to those
who aided their government, and 1t
will come back with interest.
This war that is now happily ended
has taught the people the value of saw
ing. They went into the saving
game as much through patriotism as
anything elseJ But now that they are
reaping the returns, and see that what
they did with patriotic motive 10
real foundation for future fortune,
they have gained new confidence IN
their country, and they will continue
10 buy the securities the Treasury De-
partment offers, and will make the
country MANIFOLD more prosperous
than. it would have been had not the
war instilled the lesson that will prove
Invaluable In future years.

BLACK AND WHITE.
Vogue Launched by French Max
ers Still in Favor.
Afternoon Dress Of White Crepe 90
Chine Heavily Embroidered IN
Front With Black Wool.

The imported gowns from that uear
Paris are not pretty as to line ana ae-
,sign-not even the most enthusiastic
admirer Of French creations can en-
thuse over the very short skirts anu
sleeves and the rather bunchy look
most of them seem to have-but they
are decidedly interesting and, more
than that, even they are different from
anything we see hereabouts.
Now, for instance, says 1asnioh
writer, comes a white silk jersey eve
ming gown, and from Doucet. 1t is
charming thing with long lines SO very
graceful that it is distinctly novel.
While it is true most of the import
ed models seem to be rather bunchy,
it is also to be noted that they all more
Of less are Of the one-piece or chemlse
type of dress. This particular evening
gown is AN excellent example, as II
has nothing to break the long lines ex-
cept "a wide sash going twice around
the waist and looping just at the NIP
on one side. The ends are hnlshed
with a heavy silken fringe and about
halfway up the skirt are loopeo
strands of white beads punctuated
with large fiat jet sequins. The yoke
of the bodice is ornamented with the
same sort of beads and jet so placed
that they fall over the shoulders ana
thus form the sleeves, as there are
no others. 1t is difficult to describe
frock of this sort for the reason that
il is far lovelier to see than 1t is to
read about.
All last year the French makers
were busy launching vogue of black
and white, and the combination Is still
highly favored, as I find 1t exploited
pleasingly in Lanvin afternoon dress
of white crepe de chine heavily en-
broidered in the front with black wool.
This dress has the queer skirt distin-
gushing a number Of French gowns
by being so much longer in front than
in the black and also by having most
of the fullness gathered In the front.
\ black sash goes around the waist
and falls quite to the hem in the back.
Indeed, the sash is an important
thing on every gown, as 1t appears In
many unusual and interesting ar
rangements, sometimes placed high up
under the arms and crossed In the front
and again in the back, where it loops
between the sheulderblades and then
falls the length Of the entire frock. In
this instance the sash is not more than
four inches wide and appears on
Lige satin frock made with the sim
plicity of little girls school dress,
falling long and straight from the
shoulders, with only the little crossed
sashes at the bust and in the back to
mold in the fullness. The sleeves are
very short, just the length we would
call awkward, as they stop far short of
the elbow.
