HEkE are interesting uOiuSS ~
Paris now-in fashions. Rad
ical style changes are taking
~ place. Some of these changes
are evident in the autumn models al
ready on exhibition; but the actual
difference in styles will probably come
slowly-frocks and suits put out later
in the season will reveal them more
clearly to the average shopper, who
has not an acute eye for those subtle
style marks which spell radicals differ
ence to the expert in modes
Marked Change In The Silhouette
For one thing, the silhouette is GO
ing to be different. The perfectly
straight. lank silhouette is gone. In
its place is a more rounded. more
, feminine silhouette, with less sup
pressed curves at hip and bust. one
need not possess that, ,so-long desirable
attribute, a "boyish figure" to look
well in the new ready-made clothes
offered by the shops.
The source of inspiration for the
new autumn attire is found in Louis
XIV and XVI periods. This is evi.
denced in the widor cut of skirts the
more fitted effect of jackets, in Wat
teau pleats, in lace frilled vests. in
fchus and in many other details
Someone has, suggested that these
Louis XVI styles are an Indirect com
pliment to America, who came to the
aid of France and her Allies in the
late war 1t was in the Louis XVI
period, you remember, that the Amer
lean Colonies fought for and won
their great struggle for freedom and
democracy. Italy another Ally. has
been delic@tely complimontcd too. y
number OF the style features for fall
and winter are directly traceable to
early Italian influence. Evening wraps
and evening gowns are reminiscent of
the splen did costumes worn in old
Florentin and Venetian times.
Notwthstanding this reversal TO the
Louis period, second empire styles
have a place of their own in the new
fashions and more than one model.

influence. But wherever they orig
mated the new mode shows certain
definite tendencies. one of these Is
wider skirts another IS longer jackets,
and tailored suits have generally a
more feminine softness Of line and
less straight rigidity.
Fur Used In Narrow Bands
Less fur will be used on this seasons
tailor-mades than was noted last year.
When fur is used at all, it seems to be
used merely to give emphasis to a
drapery or an edge-not fur for fur's
sake. like last winter when peltry was
loaded on so lavishly. An enchant-
ingly pretty little suit in the group

leaving no shadows anywhere, can
spoil the most beautifully furnished
room and give it the garish common
placeness of a hotel bed room. There
are scores of devices for lighting the
bed room adequately and at the same
time artistically. and these lighting eff
fects should be as carefully considered
as the color of the cretonnes that
drape the windows, or the shape of
the chairs. or style of furniture.
One shaded bedside light will not
give enough illumination TO dress by.
in a bed room of generous proportions,
though the one shaded light will give
a very pretty glow If strong illumina-
ton is not needed and will light up
the room sufficiently for undressing or
for gossip between friends. In addi-
tion to the shaded bedside light there
should be a higher light. over the
dresser-or two lights, one on each
side of the dresser. a third shaded
light on the desk IS delightful, but in
the ordinary apartment house or even
in a rented house. there is seldom
enough electric wiring to provide for
three lights in a bed room. Two

PEACE TREATY MAY NOT BE PUB
LISTED BEFORE 1T is SUB
MITTED TO GERMANY.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Paris, April l1.-At the meeting OF
the commission on a League of Ma
lions, ten sections of the covenant
were considered and passed. The Jap
anese amendment was not reached,
and the actual text Of the section ex-
empting the Monroe doctrine from the
provisions of the covenant of the
League of Nations is not yet available.
American commissioners stated, how
ever, that the doctrine was definitely
named in the provision guaranteeing
that it will not be affected by the
terms in the covenant. The adoption
of the section exempting the Monroe
doctrine was the only real exemption
made during the meeting. President
Wilson offered the amendment and
made q plea for II, saying TINT he be-
iieved the doctrine was protected I'M
der the terms of the covenant as they
stood, but because of the demands for
specific exemption, he felt 1t lmpera-
tive that the amendment should be
added. There was some adverse argu-
ment, but the amendment was adopted
without prolonged opposition.

At the end of the fifteen-year pe-
Rod, a plebiscite will be taken to de-
termine tho wishes of the inhabitants
regarding the future form of govern
ment The change was made to avoid
annexation, and to establish the prin-
ciple of selfdetermination.
France is given economic control of
the coal fields of the Saar valley up
to an amount TO recompense her for
the losses sustained from German oc-
cupation of the coal fields of northern
France.
Indications are that there may be
interpretations concerning the secrecy
with which the big four is surrounding
itself, and rumOrs are heard that ne
gotiations may open with the Germans
without fully advising all the peace
delegations of the terms of the treaty.
The council of four is strongly opposed
to official publication of the peace
treaty before its submission to the
Germans. 1t maintains that 1t Is al
lowing positive decisions to be an
nounced, and that consequently the
public will be advised on all the main
points before the treaty is signed.

that ownership in such yards has not

As for our willingness to stop ham

commodities ordinarily sold by whole-

fact that there have been ample eco

products, In that We have the distribu-
tive machinery to get these goods from
producer to consumer in most direct
and economical fashion.
We believe that eventually the pub

scundness Of our position, but because
Of the spirit Of unrest and misunder-
standing we are glad to make some
sacrifices and concessions. I believe
that 1t 10 just as necessary to make
such sacrtfices during the uncertain
period of reconstruction a. It was dur
ing the war.
Let mo direct attention to the fact
that the decree to which we have
agreed to submit in no way finds us
guilty Of combination in restraint Of
trade. or Of any other illegal prac-
tees. Under no condition would have
consented to such a solution II the de-
cree were to, charge US with guilt.
For this reason, enjoining US from
combining to restrain trade viii in no
way affect our operations, because we
are an Independent unit in open COM
petition with the other large packers
and with the hundreds Of smaller ones.
The decree in this respect will merely
strengthen existing law; which we are
following to the letter.
With these thoughts in mind, trust
that you will appreciate the fact that
our position Is In no way an admis-
sion that we have been guilty Of any
thing economically. legally, or morally
wrong, and that we have made this
concession with the sincere hope that
1t will help to overcome the suspicion
which still turks in the minds Of many
people. Yours truly, L. F. SWIFT,

With General Pershing and General
Wood advising adversely. there seems
no likelihood OF Secretary Bakers
army reorganization bill winning favor

tons rise against It. II proposes a
larger standing army than will be
needed In the judgment or Wood and
Pershing, and while II carries the prin-
ciple Of universal military training II
makes no provision for passing the
trained youth into the reserves.
Mr.. Baker proposes standing army
of about 100000 officers and men.
Pershing and Wood-say that number
In more than double the country's
need, and the sub-committee Of the
senate military committee that Is
drafting a permanent military policy
measure agrees with them. II II now

STRANGE FACTS THAT

When the boys Of Tahiti came

compared to Wagnerian opera, and the
ancient fire walking ceremony, were
revived to welcome them.
These customs, all but suppressed by
civilizing French influences, We're
among the most interesting practices
OF Polynesian people, according to a
bulletin from tho National Geographic
society.
Tahiti women were extolled by early
travellers as being the most beautiful
In the Pacific islands: their men still

tons OF the stars. made progress In
music which Is startling, yet preserved

encouraging their women to suckle
