A European once salr that Ameri-
can women were divided into two
classes: those who changed their cos
tunes for dinner and those who did
not. He might have added that the
divisions also existed between those
who had dinner In the day and those
who had 1t at night. 1t Is difficult to
make a European take this statement
seriously, for he cannot imhglne n civ

black makes a fine combination with

bellishes.

mounted on black celluloid, altogether

chances are that 1t is lined with rose

appears in the bodice of the frock

for this hour growing up out OF the
situation. 1t is the whole balance OF
demand and supply which governs
progress.
And there has come about over here
still another fashion, the revival OF
an old one. which is the use OF an eiap-
crate tea gown for those hours given
over to the family and, possibly, a Few
intlmates, in the evening. This, too,
saves the more formal evening clothes
and 1t spares the street gown.
There lies the crux of the situation;
to spare the better class OF clothes.

PAPERS RECALL DINNER
 WITH BOOKER WASHINGTON

Washington, January 10. = (Special) Everyone had practically forgotten the fact that the late Theodore Roosevelt dined with Booker Washington until the secretary of the Tuskegee institute, mere Iy by expressing grief at the death of the former president, unintent1onally re- freshed the memory of the nation.
 The secretary is Emmet J. Scott, now Assistant Secretary of War. In his tele- gram to Mrs. Roosevelt he expressed gr1er in the name of 100000 negroes. There was no substrata boast respecting the friendliness of the late President for the negro, a friendliness typically expressed in the so-called unfortunate" dinner. Nevertheless, the whole story came again to minds of many, and was the toplc of much gossip in newspaper circles.
 The south was indignant. A southern newspaper man, then and now a Wash- ington correspondent, wrote what he pre- sently admits to have been a more or less scurrilous story. It was exceedingly of- fensive to the President for it not only reflected on his good taste" but on the good taste" of Booker Washington. At any rate, Teddy sent for him, and he wouldn't respond He was subsequently barred from the White House.
 It is said that this Alabama negro, Emmet J. Scott, has made good in his capacity as Assistant Secretary of War under Secretary Baker.

,, Washington, January 10. = (Special)
 War correspondents returned to Wash
 ington declare unequivocally that Gen Neral Pershing is exceedingly unpopular
 with the American troops. Similar testi ,mony is brought by Americans who
 served in the Red Cross and Young
 Mems Christian association work. The treason attributed by these men is the
 fact that Pershing is a soldier-with the accent on that word-except in the pos
 session of that essential faculty of arous-
 ing enthusiasm and inspiring devotion %among his followers.
 "He is not regarded as human,'' said } a New York correspondent to The Age
 Herald correspondent. Washington, despite sternness which caused him to order the whipping of recalcitrants, was well loved. Grant was entirely human. He drank and smoked to excess and he kswas loved Lee was entirely noble His ]. gentleness and his great achievements b caused devotion. 'Stonewalp Jackson, in
 the beginning of the war, was not loved. s He was cold, stern disciplinarian and
 uncommunicative. But his never falter-
 ing genius aroused veneraton on the part yy of his men. Pershing is cold and indif- ferent. The soldiers never see him. He

 is grim and stern. While successful. he was of course, overshadowed by the bril- liant Foch. As result. he will return unloved of his men.''
 George Rothwell Brown of the Wash ington Post staff, regrets that the re- ports of Pershing's unpopularity is true As causes he refers to Pershings grim ness. his nonappearance among his men, his indifference to criticism and refusal to explain situations for which he is not responsible.
 MT. Brown states that Pershing is es- pecially unpopular with New England troops, the gallantry and strenuous serV- ice of which Pershing apparently ignored. The writer declares that in paying tribute to the various American units which hao done great service in France, Pershing overlooked the New England contingent, and in making formal and official report to Washington, the commanding officer in incidental manner only, mentioned the New Englanders.
 As an instance of Pershings indiffer- ence to criticism, Mir. Brown declares that everybody in the army is mad to the fighting point because of the order pre- venting promotions following the sign ing of the armistice. Pershing might have been responsible for that order. But the best opinion holds that it emanated from Washington. At any rate, Per shing is held responsible, and Mir Brown says the officers and men are outraged in that they cannot be given credit for the brilliant service they have performed
 General Pershing, though probably aware of the general criticism directed at his head, will not, according to MT. Brown put himself right with his men, or explain why he caused the order to be issued, if he actually did so. MT. Brown adds that the unpopularty of the Amer ican commanding officer will be made generally known in the United states as soon as the soldiers are demobllized, and thus enabled to express themselves without fear of military law and punish ment.
