after some of the new frocks in suffl-

American Beauty satin dress, made
all in one piece, extends along the

on with shoehorns, so close fitting and

WHAT HURTS THE EX-SOLDIER
MOST.
TT ISN'T being turned down uher

TT ISN'T being turned down when
he asks for a job that hurts the
ex-service man. It's being turned
down in favor OF a man who made no
sacrifices to help win the great world
war. Feeling that the men who STAYED
home and played safe are benefited by
their behavior. whereas the men who
went over and took all the chances
are "out OF luck"-that's what hurts.
This is the testimony OF innumera-
Die soldiers and sailors who have been
released in the last few weeks from
the service OF the United States. They
don't expect jobs to- be made for them
where there are none, but to find that
they are being overlooked In favor Of
the men who stayed back home makes
them curl their lips and swear under
their breath.
That's why every available agency
In the United States is being used to
find places for the 10000 men or more
who are released daily from the mill
tary and naval service. Under the
guidance OF Colonel Arthur Woods,
Assistant to the Secretary OF War, the
entire country is nfobilizing to find

end.

Entire Gown Il PaiIletted./

These large paillettes of the feathers
and spangles appear at scattered in
tervals all over the skirt, back and
front, and the tiny bit Of satin which
forms the bodice is likewise pailletted
in the same way. The splendid bro
caded satins and silks and veIvets of
which we saw so much last year are
just as much used this season and
make very handsome gowns indeed.
Like the metal tissues which are made
up with SO little trimming, these silver
and gold brocaded things do not need
much additional ornamentation and
are left with the large brocaded motifs
to set off the whole. For the most
part these are made up only in gowns
for the most formal occasions.
The design In which they are made
follows the simple and rather severe
lines such handsome material would
suggest. Naturally, with q scattered
incrustation of rather large silver
flowers placed all over a silken sur
face, one need not add Jewels. flowers
or feathers, and only little lace, and
the effect Is best when long and I'M
broken lines can display the beauty
OF the fabric to good advantage.
Velvet as yet plays little part in the
! evening costumes. though one finds a
thin sprinkling of velvet gowns
throughout the French and domestic
showings as we'll. These are for the
most part Of the greatest simplicity,
with unbroken lines and only slight
draping at the hips-just enough, In
fact, to acknowledge the demand for
this effect Green is a favored shade
this season, and green velvet dancing
frock with bands Of lovely gray fox is
novelty distinctly pleasing.

TCOMIMGfGAY WINTER INSPIRES
GORGEOUS EVENING FROCKS
p, MARTHA cooDE ANDERSON


TT promises to be a gay winter with
a revival Of social festivities such
j as we have not seen since the
,,d days of 1914 plunged the world
into agony
The outlook has stimulated great
interest in evening apparel, to such an
orient that marvellous brocades and
sa,ins tinsels, silks, laces, beads and
enaneles are being intermingled In
the most gorgeous and beautiful way
"a arrest attention and please all be-
holders. 1t looks at this writing as
n our hips have concentrated the at
tention OF costume designers, for not
only are we having an influx of trim
ming placed on the hips, but we see
many charming evening gowns with
extended hips achieved by slender
reeds placed under the top drapery
and suggesting the hoopskirts of our
grandmothers day.
Metallic gowns are leading the pro-
cession in favored fabrics. By metal
hc gowns I mean those made Of silver
or gold tissue or OF one of the iri-
descent weaves which ningle the
oolors and produce a certain sheen OF
color play, indescribably lovely. These
tissue gowns are not deliberately
trimmed, for. the fabric itself Is rich
enough to need little addition. For
the most part the gowns are made
with a tight petticoat over which
hangs shorter tunic edged with fine
silver lace or gold as the case may be.
This tunic falls quite plain in front
and back and has the extended hips
al the sides which are so much a part
Of the present fashion.
One Of the metal tissue gowns which
have tremendously admired is made
Of gold tissue with trimming Of won
dsrfully soft and fine black Chantilly
lace The tissue Is used for the
foundation dress, over which the up
per tunic falls in the manner de-
scribed. The bottom straight around
is edged with the black shadowy lace.
The bodice is a mere wisp OF the gold
cloth, with some of the lace falling

threads OF jet connect the shoulders
front and back The only ornament
is wide black velvet rose tipped
with scintillating beads and placed at
the left side. While this gown sug-
gests the most youthful outlines, II
has great dignity as well as great
beauty, and its fine simplicity will I'M
doubtedly recommend it.

an amazing width. In costumes OF
lace and velvet the bodice is often
made entirely OF velvet of any desired
shade, though black, which is so uni
versally becoming. is much favored
for wear with almost any sort Of
fluffy widened skirt.
The only relation these velvet
bodices have with the skirt beneath
them is seen in the long wide stream,

MINNESOTA BLOCKADERS
HAVE TOUGH SHEDDING
Looks Like Big Gang of Bootleg
gers has been Broken in South Da-
kota

On January II Edward ]. Gerber
and William Passer drove across the
state line from Minnesota into Sher-
man, s. D., with triple box sleigh.
Becoming suspicious, Marshal Hanson
investigated the load and discovered
what is said to be the largest quantity
of liquor brought into the state for
many months.
The sheriff and states attorney
drove over from Sioux Falls, taking
back with them the prisoners and the
liquor. The sleigh contained 120
quart-bottles of whisky, 20 gallons of
alcohol and gallons of beer. The men
were placed under $1,000 bonds which
they were unable to furnish, and ac-
cordingly were committed to the
county jail awaiting trial.
Later the United States marshal ar
rested two men on the charge of at
tempting to transport liquor into the
state, and it is said these two are the
employers of Gerber and Passer. 1t
looks like a whole gang of bootleggers
has been broken up.

Dry Victory Spurs Clergy
In Aiding City Plan
By the Rev. w. B. Northon in
the Chicago Tribune

By the Rev. w. B. Northon in
the Chicago Tribune
The ratification of the National
Prohibition Amendment has
given a new impulse to the en-
thusiasm of pastors and
churches for the far-reaching
designs of the Chicago plan
commission. Fear of what the
liquor interests would do for
merly initiated against giving
Chicago self-government, and
the greater concern for the
moral welfare of Chicago
darnpened the ardor for simply
material enlargement and archi-
tectural beauty. Now, with the
certainty of the removal of the
smoking breweries and the
sluns, which are the concomit-
ants of the saloon, every clergy
man will feel like bending his
back to the task of making Chi
cago the first city in the United
States.

Throughout the state victory jubi-

word came that Illinois had gone
over the top. In many places special
Sunday evening services were held on
the Sunday following ratification to
commemorate the victory. At Evans

meeting at the national headquarters.
All those present had trumpets which
were blown when the glad news was
received AT pssi1a OF Saturday fol-
lowing ratification. the victory was
celebrated by ringing church bells for
five minutes and the blowing of whis-
ties at the coal mines. There are very

AMERICA VOTES DRY
Chicago Evening Post)

Chicago Evening Post)
Those who view with dismay
and angry outcry the advent of
a dry America should consider
that Prohibition is the outcome
of long years of education, that
it is the deliberate choice of a
people impelled to try it by a
multitude of reasons. Never
was emotionalism less factor
in determining the nations
course. Prohibition outgrew its
emotional phase long ago. 1t is
the cool, practical, hard-headsd
sense of men and women that
has voted out the liquor traffic.
One hundred million people are
going to try an experiment
after discussing it pro and con
for a century. The Post be-
lieves it is an experiment well
worth trying.

Results of U.S.. Dry Trail
Guide to AnglO-Saxons

A Chicago Tribune copy
righted dispatch shows the
worldwide importance of sue
cessful law enforcement in
America. 1t quotes the Lon
don Chronicle as follows:
"The decision that the whole
United States shall 60 dry is
indeed portent for us all. In
the wine growing countries of
the continent the new policy
will probably be received with
something of incredulity. In
Great Britain, on the other
hand, it cannot but be sympa-
thetically and anxiously watch
ed, and all parties will realize
that in the long run its success
or failure will decide not only
the American policy on this
subject but that of all Anglo
Saxon.
