Edible Fish In Bosporus.

returned to the United States from
Turkey, says that there are 80 tSa-

During normal times great wagonloa ii.
Of these fish were carried through
Constantinople. A fish 20 inches long
often sold for the equivalent Of five
cents. The poor were thus able to
obtain food for very little money. To
day similar fish is sold for ten times
the usual price. 'eThis is not because
there are fewer fish in the Bosporus,"
said Doctor Peet, 'but because there is
no longer an adequate supply Of fish,

Germans Insist on Holiday Work
Then Strike When Troops

Berlin.-Possibly the strangest de-
velopment yet found in the German
industrial situation has appeared at
the aniline dye works, located at Wolf
en-, near HOLE.
Workers there demanded the privi-
lege of remaining at their posts on
German Memorial day, and when the
firm refused to permit this the work
men to the number Of 400 forced their
way into the office Of the director and
compelled him to keep the plant open.
Gustav Noske, minister of defense,
fearing trouble, sent brigade Of
troops to Wolfen, whereupon the work
ers struck because of the fact that
martial law was imposed by the pres
ence of the troops.
Employees Of the electric plant at

SOME NEW PARIS
IDEAS IN GOWNS

Here are two sketches Of q costume
which may truthfully be called 1.-THE
newest Of the new" writes a leading
Paris fashion correspondent. 1t is q
Premet model and it represents all
that Is original and novel in the Paris
world Of dress. Here you have the
true Louis XIV outline. A robe made
Of taffetas in two shades of peacock
blue, mounted over black lace under
dress and finished with plain, tight
fitting corsage.
This corsage fastens, almost invisi-
7 bly,, down the back and it is important
to observe that the neck opening is
quite unexpected. In front it is cut
round while at the back there is a
peak, ending In a small bow. This is
one of Premet's new ideas and this
particular model has had a great sue
cess. 1t will be copied widely and in
many different materials.
You will see that the skirt is made
In two parts, one side in pale blue
silk and the other in a darker shade
The corsage is in the light color, with
cuffs Of darker blue. Absolutely no
trimming is introduced on the corsage.
This is an idea which is generally fol-
lowed by the leading dressmakers of
the Rue de la Paix. Nowadays one
rarely sees an deliberately trimmed
bodice, and many of the more expen-
sive models are plain, as indicated in
the sketch.
1t is very important to realize that
these fitted corsages are worn over
what may be called ga natural corset :"
that is to say, there is no indication Of
small waist, the outline is intention
ally boyish and for this reason it is
youthful. If you have seen the jackets
worn by French fencing masters you
will realize at once the effect which
our great dressmakers wish to obtain.
Stiffened at the Sides.
The Premet model was slightly stiff
fened at the sides, right on the hips,
and the silken material was gathered
at the waist. The corsage was sepa-
rate, though it looked as though it
were attached to the skirt.
These fitted bodices are going to be

gave curiously old world aspect to its
wearer.
This shawl was only long enough to
cover the hips, and it was worn quite
carelessly, thrown open in front and
gathered up over the arms, just as our
great-grandmothers used to wear their
cashmere shawls.
/ have seen great many hand
painted flowers on the new millinery;
there is a special preparation which
makes them comparatively rainproof
and the colors are very lovely. Kid Is
used for all sorts of unexpected pur-
poses: for painted and embroidered
handbags, for waistcoats, cuffs, hat
crowns, collars on tailored suits, etc.
Waistcoats with elaborate buttons
are demanding constant attention. It
is the moment of waistcoats and never
have / seen more lovely buttons than
those shown at the present moment.
One of the successful novelties takes
the form of triangular buttons made of
ivory and inset with tiny steel facets,
and fiat ivory buttons trimmed in Jet. A
valuable set of six buttons is consid-
cred an ideal present for bride or
for favorite niece on her birthday.

"This sudden craze for silk shirts
is due to the fact that workingmen
are making vastly more money than
ever before. War time wages have filled
their pockets and they have been en-
abled to realize some of their long
cherished desEes, one Of which was to
wear silk shirts.
"Men who few years ago COM
planned because they could not get q
cotton shirt for less than dollar are
now buying three and four silk shirts
season and paying from $40 to $14
apiece for them.
even the farm laborer is wearing
silk. Dealers from out of town tell me
of calls for silk shirts from men on
the farms and say it is the first time
since they have been in business that
has occurred.
NATURALLY, this tremendous demand
has had its effect on supply, with the
resulting increase in prices.
"And the demand does not appear to
be lust a seasonable one. Already we
are besieged with Inquiries for goods
to be delivered in the spring. Pieces
then will be higher than they are
now"

down a little the ultra sensational
models seem to have disappeared.
The new Louis XIV bodices can be
fastened at the back, at one side or di-
rectly in front. In each case the fas-
tening is made as invisible as possible,
unless a close row of small buttons be
introduced. Premet is using a great
deal of taffetas, plain and shot; but
indeed the same thing may be said of
all the other famous dressmakers of
Paris. 1t is the year of taffetas.
Chez Redfern recently saw won
derful wrap made of moleskin-picked
skins-which was lined with rose Du-
barry brocade and finished with an
enormous collar of mink. The combi-
nation of fur was unexpected but very
successful. Mink isrsto the fore for
every possible purpos ;.
Mink, barrel-wraps vare in great de-
mand, and the Innings are always an
important point, The loveliest brocades
are used for this purpose, and also
shot taffetas With irregular designs
worked in fine silks, or striped taffetas
with hand-embroideries running down
certain of the lines. Innings are once
more of vital Importance. 1t is now
so much the fashion to wear handsome
wraps at restaurant teas or afternoon
dances throwing them off carelessly;
over the back of chair, that it is
really necessary to give close consid-
Grafton to the Innings.
Musquash is more fashionable than
ever and it is often combined with
nk-in collar form-or with kolin

that such nantes need to be most

they would look very heavy.

WAR DOOMED SILK SHIRTS
High Wages Enabled Workingmen
to Purchase Expensive
Garments. n

The st. Paul Pioneer Press believes
rbe development of nationwide
craze for luxuries is reflected in the
nbenomenal demand for silk shirts
that has swept through the country
This summer. Merchants and manufac-
turers declare it is typical of the de
sire for spending money that has
seized the people of the United States,
aspecially the laboring classes.
This new craze is not confined to
anv particular locality, but is general
throughout the United States. Men
who have never before worn silk shirts
are buying them this season, not only
one or two at time, but in half doz-
en- lots and the consumption has been
so great that the local market is al
most bare of stocks.

Over-the-Sk Model Changes Come
With UnjustifiabIe Frequency
Standing Ever in Doubt.

The puzzle of the blouse line for
the last two seasons has been the long
model. It's standing can never be def
nitely determined. 1t may be reign
ing favorite one week and quite neg

over-the-skirt models, however, can
never be questioned. The perfection
of the designers art must be called
into play to make long blouse thing
of beauty and no wardrobe is really
complete without at least one or two
of them.
Innumerable materials are used for
making these blouses, including geor-
gette. knit silk fabrics, velyeteen and

caves. There seems no limit to the
INNINGS employed. "A favorite and
