New York.-The blouse is Q sareoe-

1tates. That it is usually wrong is the

It's possibilities for evil are not linz

neckline governs the appearance of
the face know full well the chances
for good and evil that rest in the col

There is no end to the making OF
blouses, as of books. No one can
cavil at the paucity of these garments.

BIouses as Part Of eoseumes
When the French designers made
the peplum blouse and then sat back
in watchful waiting foB its success,
which took long to somes they created
something that was very worth while.
American women see the light today,
and they grasp with eagerness the pos
sibilities Of this outside tunic blouse.
It is difficult % persuade certain
set of women that there are other
types of blouses Rothing could in

feel they have eliminated this awk-
ward line around the middle Of the
body, and they choose all their blOuseS
after the tunic pattern, whether for
railroad suits or for service with .

1t is sometimes permitted to tuck the
back of the blouse under the skirt, pro-
yided there is front panel that drops,
apron-wise, below the waist. and an
ornamental belt which runs from each
side of it to the back. This is the
most ingenious compromise between
the new and the old blouses.

These bits of the costume are the

~ Evil Possibilities of BIouses.
OF course, there are new fashions in
the blOuses this spring. They have
been shown to women they have been
purchased for the unusually large
exodus to the South, and they will ap-
peal to the majority of women during
the next four weeks, when ones
thoughts turn to the rehabilitation of
the winter wardrobe, or the acquisi-
ton of new one.
There is no more paucity of inven-
ton in blouses this year than last.
France and America have both done
their best-and it is in this vast va
riety that evil possibilities lie. II
women could be trained TO regard the
blouse as something fatal, unless well
chosen, they would so about the buSi-
ness of getting together a half dozen
with the precautioa and precision nee
essary when walking on ice. They
would not buy georgette because it is
fashionable. tomato-red because it was
the style, nor would they choose gal
loon embroidery. shoe-iace hraiding or
brass buttons because the designers
had chosen to exploit These capriceE.
They would 60 among all the masses

from well-considered pattern.
The part of blouse that is very
often fatal is the collar. There are
few women who can stand more than
two types of neclSline. A woman
should not rebel against this verdict
She should accept it and thus elimi-
nate trouble. She should expert
ment with blouses that do not carry
either one of these necklines. She
must remember that no blouse is
worth its price If it hasn't the kind of
collar that offsets the neckline of her
coat. She must also take well into
consideration the difference between
blouse which is to be worn as part
of a costume topped by fur or cloth
lcoat, and one that is merely a shirt
waist and part of a tailored suit.
These are not all the requirements

If Lloyd Georges assertion of full
agreement among the allied powers is
incorrect in any particular, the dis
crepancy involves Italy. At the close
Of the week the problem of Fiume had
not been solved and the Italians had
repeated their informal threats to re-
fuse to sign the treaty with Germany
unless that city were given to them in
stead of TO the Jugo-Slavs, as Presi-
dent Wilson wishes. The threats We're
not taken seriously, however, and it
was believed that after the British pre-
mier returned to Paris that difficulty
would be adjusted The treaties with
Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulga-
ria may not be ready for several
weeks after that with Germany is
signed.
An interesting report printed in the
Frankfort Gazette says the German
peace delegates are prepared to ask
from the allies payment Tor damages
sustained from aerial attacks, from
the occupation of German territory by
allied troops and for the delay in con-
Guiding peace, which caused a ptolong-
alton of the bolshevik and Spartacan
troubles. 1t is easy to guess how far
they will get with such a demand
The peace commissioners, or at least
the correspondents in Paris, were
somewhat worried by the setting up
of the communist government in Mu-
Mich, fearing lest this might make nee
essary a separate treaty with Bavaria,
the second state in the German cOnfed-
GRAFTON. But it may be that before the
treaty is presented the regime of the
communists will have come to an end.
They have been having a very stormy
time so far and the troops of the so
cialist government have been pressing
them hard, though some of the soldiers
have joined the communists. That
the food boycott of the peasants
against Munich is effective is shown
by the fact that the communist gov
ernment has asked for loan of a mil
lion marks from Italy for the purpose
| of buying food. 1t is said that chaos
rules in Munich, all work has ceased
no trains are running and the banks
shops and houses are being looted
The DEGREES issued by the communists
are many and radical, one ordering
the communication of all women, in
cluding wives.
In other parts of Germany there
was continuous disorder and strikes
were started in many places. After
further severe fighting in Magdeburl

Paris, April 19-The plan of the

are again bringing up the whole sub
ject for revision
Those who have the matter in hand
divide the question of war RESPONSE
bilities into two distinct classes. The
first class includes military and naval
offenders, like General Ludendorff and
Admiral Tirpitz, and those accused of
various excesses against the usual
rules Of warfare.
The second class includes former
Emperor William. ex-ChancelIor Beth

any attempt of the bolsheviki to over
run Europe by force. The premier as
serted that there is complete accord
among the allied commissioners, and
then he launched into a bitter attack
OF Lord Northcliffe, whose newspapers,
he said, had been striving to sow dis
cord among the allies, to make France
distrust Britain and hate America, and
America dislike France, and Italy
quarrel with everybody. He called at
tention to the fact that the Northcliffe
papers, which formerly ardently sup
ported President Wilson, are now hys-
terically attacking all his great ideals,
and alluded to the diseased vanity"
of their proprietor and his disappoint-
ment because he had not been called
on to save the world. With the eX-
ception, of course, of the Northcliffe
papers, the London press gave consid-
erable praise to the premier's speech,
and his rejection of any idea of milf
tary action in Russia was especially
well received.
