SUIT OR A DRESS?
Question Is a Pulling One for
Majority of Women.
Tight-Fitting, Severely Tailored Out
fit Not So Much Shown as More
Youthful Looking Models.

Whether to buy tailored suit, or a
dress and separate coat, that is the
problem which eonfronts the woman
who goes forth at this time to spend
her dress allowance, and this spring
the question Is puzzling one. Some
years are what the garment makers
call "suit years." when the problem Is
settled, before we even begin to shop,
by the manufacturers; other years the
shops show nothing, comparatively
speaking, but one-piece dresses and
coats. But this year both suits and
dresses are shown in amazing variety,
and wise indeed is the woman who has
looked over her wardrobe and reached
decision as to what she needs, before
she goes to the stores.
The new suits are distinctive in sew
eral ways. Coats are just fnger-tip
length, as a rule, and many of them
have the loose outside pocket effect,
achieved by turning up the bottom OF
the coat at the sides and in front. The
skirts are narrow, as rumor predicted
that they would be. The more ex-
IRENE models have made allowance for
the wearer's need, either by Sitting
the skirt al. the back seam for few
inches up the hem, or, as In one case,
by making the skirt with the front and
back widths absolutely separate as far
up as the hips; these two sections
were then caught together at intervals
down the sides by short threads, heav-
lily buttonholed, which held the two
sections together except when the
wearer was walking. When such skirts
as these are worn, there. is worn also
heavy satin slip, matching the skirt
in color.
The tight-ftting, severely tailored
suit is not so much shown as are the
Iooser-coated, more youthful-looking
models. Narrow belts are on nearly
all of these jackets, fastening at the
side; the skirts Of the coats are rather
full, and are quite apt to be incon-
spicuously trimmed. Embroidered silk
arrow heads make one such coat inter
esting; another is bound with narrow,

No general budget can be SO framed

are offered by Thrift and War Savings
Stamps; and only intelligent adher.

to bring about the desired results.
Methods of appropriation, however,
differ; method which proves feast
BILE In a given family would be worse
than useless in another; but certain
cardinal principles may be safely laid
down.
The amount Of possible savings
should be set apart definitely, and
l.gidly adhered to. Other allowances
may be variable or they may be held
within hard and fast limits. One plan
after another may be tried, If liked
until the best one suited is found.
All things considered, the most cas-.

which allows a certain share Of the
income for each budget head listed,
holds rigidly within the items OF ap

WHAT REAL THRIFT
WILL ACCOMPLISH
Successful Men Began BY Saving
Their Money AS Matter of
Fixed Habit.

Abraham Lincoln was notable ex-
smplar of the value Of thrift Of time.

Horace Greeley and Cooper founded

Ex-Governor Ferris of Michigan,

ty training: "In my youth if I had a
toy, I made it, and made 1t not to
suit myself alone but it had to suit
my father as well. His examination
of my work and his insistence that
should put the best there was in me
even into my toys put into my back

Thrift was the keynote Of success in
the life of the late James j. Hill. He
was one of the country's most con-
sistent opponents of thrift, one Of the
greatest; examplars Of what this viz
tue combined with energy and high
purpose, can do. He preached always
that the man who cannot save money
will be failure; that though he may
have education, talent and ability,
without thrifty habits he cannot sue

HOUSE PASSES
DRY MEASURE
Fifty-tWo Democrats and Forty
eight Republicans on Record
Against Bill.
THE. VOTE WAS 287 TO 100.
New York Delegation Approves Rads
cal Bill-"Solid South" DIVIDES
and Western States Fail to
Unite for 1t.

Washington.-The Volstead prohlbl-
tlon enforcement bill, in many respects
the most drastic peace time legislation
before any Congress, passed the mouse
2S7 to 100, after more than three weeks
of debate. 1t goes now to the sena1e'
where the Anti-Saloon League LOBBY
has been marshaling its forces Tor
quick andsinal passage.
An analysis Of the vote shows that
i6S Republicans, 116 Democrats ana
8 Independents answered AYE" Whlie
4S Republicans and 90 Democrats an
swered "no." Three members answer
ed ''present''-Crago and Graham OF
PENNSYLVANIA, Republicans, and Boob
err of Missouri, Democrat.
The 100 opponents Of the bill we're
scattered throughout third of the
states of the Union, but one-tifth OF
them were from New York state. Tie
Tammany group lined up against the
measure. Pennsylvania, MaSsachu-
sets. New Jersey, Illinois, Ohio and
California provided most of the re-
naming opponents, but states that
long have been dry were represented
in the negative vote.
The "solid south" was not in evil
dence, there being several votes from
that& section against the measure.
North Carolina, dry ten years or more,
furnished two. Others came from Ala-
bama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Texas. Northwestern states, such
as Wisconsin and Iowa, furnished
votes against the measure.
Many who voted for it finally did
so because they dared not go on rec
ord against the bill. A motion to re-
commit the measure and to substitute
an amendment by Representative Igoe
of Missouri, placing the enforcement
under the ordinary laws Of the coun-
try, was defeated, 255 to 1876.
- Throughout the roll call officers Of
the Anti-Saloon League continued their
vigil from the galleries, which was
started when the bill was brought up
in the house.
Senator Sheppard of Texas said that
the senate would pass the house bill
with a few immaterial changes. FL
thinks final action will be quicker than
in the house. He predicted that there
would NOT he dozen votes against it
on the figat showdown.
