TO Blend COLORS
Trick Is in Knowing What Hues
Will Combine.
Some of the Popular and HarmonlzIng
Tints That Are In the Limeiight
This Season.

The trick is in moving what colors
combine. 1t is not enough to know
that such and such a color carries
fashions immediate favor, but to know
just what color that color goes with TO
conform with the canons of smart
ness. And really in designing your
new frocks, If you have settled the
matter of color combination, you have
accomplished quite a little. Fol- color
combinations hat would be impossl-
BILE one season have, because they are
stamped with the approval of some
| great dressmaker, or through some as
ISOLATION of the times, taken first place
among combinations that are distinct
ly possible.
At the present time Paris has
stamped with her approval combina-
tons Of metallic hue and almost any
color on the calendar. Thus many of
the smartest new ribbons show silver
or gold threads running one way, with
the colored threads running the other.
These are used extensively In con-
nection with the new evening frocks.

and brown, gold with a bright blue
and silver with emerald green. Such
a ribbon would, of course, give the
key to the color scheme of the eve
ming frock on which it was used.
Pale blue georgette over yellow Is
a color combination seen in some of
the newest lingerie. The effect Is a
rather vague green. For the young
woman with a complexion fair and
clear such a color combination would
have great charm in an evening frock

SILHOUETTE is HERE AGAIN
STRAIGHT Garment, but Absence Of the
Flying Panels Is a Spring
Novelty Feature.

Fashion bulletins of late have had a
rather bewildering effect on the aver
g style student, because regularly
for the past three seasons, at least, the
vogue of the straight line type of gar
ment has been announced. Thinking
over the subject casually, n would
imagine that there had been no style
changes at all. But this Is by no means
true.
The straight silhouette has held
sway for some time. 1t is the keynote
of present season apparel, and spring
garments are adhering to it generally,
but minor notes tell the Woman who
pays close attention to styles whether
a garment is of present or last sea-
sons vintage.
1t is interesting to observe the
change that has taken place in the use
of panels. The loose or flying panel
held the center of the stage last spring
and it appeared with some modifca-
lions in winter garments, but for
spring the panel is snugly anchored.
Panels do relieve the severity of the
stralght-line, narrow skirts, but the
loosely flying panel was eve a wise
choice. Next seasons panels are
caught at both upper and lower ends
and allowed to blllow out in the space
between.

LEARNING VALUE OF BABIES
New Viewpoint Taken by World Marks
Beginning of Era of the Highest
Importance.

That the babies of a nation are its
riches and that they must be afforded,
that they are always worth what they
cost, is the new viewpoint that we are
learning now, writes Kathleen Norris
in Pictorial Review.
Europe knows, what we of America
are learning, that greater than our
mines and forests and cities, in actual
commercial value, are our babies, and
more important than u financiers
and statesmen are the women who
bear them.
Suppose that we could save one-half
of the 100000 babies that we lose every
year. And suppose that another 150,-
900 who do not die, but who live
sickly and defective, were also raised
to strong and healthy and normal man
and womanhood? Do you realize that
this country would be the richer, In
ten years, by 100000 native-born citi-
Zens2
Therefore the government is begin
ming to take a fatherly interest In its
babies, and more and more In Europe
and wherever mothers pensions are
paid, the government is beginning tt
feel itself responsible for them. There
is less hustling of children into insti
buttons, there is more and more incl
nation to leave them with theil
mother and make life easier for thell
mother. One likes to think of thu
time coming when every child will
n,aop mora eoSa and NOT less. NOR
honor, and not less, to the woman VIII
bears it. But now we are only begin
ming.

ElYinu In the Orient.

Prominent business men of Sydney,
Melbourne and Adelaide, under the
leadership of Reginald Lloyd of Lon
don, have formed a company to devel-
op an aerial route for mail and pas
senger service between Australia and
London, according to Consul Henry p.
Starrett, Adelaide, Australia, in the
Commerce Reports.
The purpose of the company is to ex-
plore the proposed route for landing
sites, which are TO be approximately
300 miles apart. The route is to be
from Sydney or Melbourne direct to
Port Darwin in the northern territory
of Australia, from which point there
will be a 300-mile sea trip across to
the Island of Timor, in the Dutch East
Indies, thence from island to island
through Java and Sumatra to Slnga-
pore and Calcutta, across India to
Karachi, thence to Bagdad and Port
Said, from which latter point the
choice of several developed aerial
routes to London is available.

Strict Army Discipline.

BY indorsing the Herman report on the
arny's court martial system, Secretary
Baker strikes another blow at the belief
long confidently held that his natural
zeal as reformer would be felt in mill
tary administration. He seems to adopt
without qualification the old military
view that the system of military justice,
so.ealled is not primarily a system Of
justice at all, and was never intended to
be- but rather is system for the main
tenance of strict army discipline. The
monstrously severe court-martial SEN
fences, as they seem to the civilian mind,
are in reality machinery of terror de-
signed TO have a deterrent effect on the
potentially insubordinate. The only re-
deeming feature of such sentences is that
when peace comes the 90 and 30-year
terms Of Imprisonment are usually re.
duced by rs or 80 per cent, except in the
particularly fragrant cases. 1t would sur
prise the army authorities, perhaps, if
they knew how many Americans, who
had left the army with clean records,
now entertained strong feeling against
some of the methods by which the rank
and file are held subservient to the Off.

\ young man has been convicted in a
Middlebury court and in the Rutland
court and sentenced to the state prison
for burglaries of houses, and the press re.
ports of the case assert that the young
man has been an electricians helper, a
man of the stage, bank employe in New
York who lost his job because of too much
tangoing with a woman clerk during
the lunch hour, and Just plain thief
Moreover, the press reports state that
the man of varied career is but II years
Of age. 1t is swift Kaleidoscope Of
events to crowd into the life of one so
young. Possibly the l7-year -old has an
imagination as well as penchant for
robbing; perhaps his mind has been poi
soned by too much literature of the.
trashy sort or of too vivid pictures dis
played on the screen His story reads
like the romancing of mind that has
been swayed by bad Influences, albeit
his crimes in Burlington, Middlebury and
Rutland seem to have been real enough.
The stay in the state prison ought to
have tendency to let the young. mind
find its balance
