LIFE AGAIN BECOMES
MORE VALUED Thing
Change of Attitude Is Now Quite
Ap~parent-FIyers Take No
Risks.

One Of the consequences OF the ces-
sation OF hostilities, which did not at
once manifest itself, is now becoming
apparent. 1t Is the appreciation of the
value OF human life. The change of
attitude, which necessarily Is gradual,
already has become quite marked.
Less than a month ago thousands of
men were being killed every day and
hundreds of thousands were exposing
themselves to death. Danger and
death were then the commonest things
In the world. The public had become
hardened by repetition to horrors apd
suffering.
Men who ran the great risk, al
though they never were conscious OF
their probable fate, could steel them
selves to their task because they re-
membered what hosts of others had
done. But so quickly does nature re-
assert itself when given the chance
that there is a ~perceptible reaction to-
ward the normal. The wholesale
slaughter has stopped, the incentive
to expose ones self is gone, and life
has become a dearer and more valued
thing.
A man who just conducted a party

a writer that he had passed several

The Fashion Show, which is more
correctly called a style promenade, is
an established institution now. Gar
ments for all the seasons, spring,
summer, autumn and winter make
their debut at these promenades, when
practiced and keen eyes pass upon
their merits and the acid tests of the
buyers send them on their way to
successor relegate them to oblivion.
New fabrics, new silhouettes, new
these promenades and the questions,
as to what is to be presented to the
public, are settled by those who seem
to have an intuition in the matter of
coming fashions.
Two striking garments that chal-
lenged comparisons at a recent style
promenade in New York, are shown
above. They invite attention to new
style features that have made a sue
cess and have an assured future,
Wool velvet, which goes by several
names, with fur for trimming, is the
fabric used in them and their lines

The powers that be in the world of
millinery have made a league In IA
vor of feathers for trimming winter
hats. Having decided that the mid
winter hat should be characteristic of
the midWinter season and bear lit
tie resemblance to It's predecessors for
fall, the designers have evidently set
tied on feathers as the great feature
Of the styles. Ostrich has come back
and endless wings, cockades and
fancy feathers are f1uttering across the
millinery horizon.
Ostrich, curled and uncurled, reap
pears to such advantage that we all
wonder how fashion could ever
have banished it. Yet it was absent
for several seasons. Soft quills and
long sprays Of artificial aigrettes sweep
and swirl about brims There is
great vogue for shaggy, ragged ef-
fects, with coque feathers and burnt
goose in turbulent, unsymmetrical ar
rangement about brims and crowns
Then there rE2 single long feathers
and the most brilliant and precise
wings to contradict what seems the
careless placing of the scraggr feath-
ers. 1t will take q season to tell all
the story Of feathers.
Most sure of welcome from MANY
| quarters are the beautifully made
wings and montures like those shown

Leroux was forcing Pierre's head and
shoulders backward by the weight of
his bulls body. But the Indians
sinews, toughened by years of toll to
steel, held fast; and just as Leroux,
confident Of victory, shifted his feet
and inclined forward, Pierre changed
his grasp and caught him by the
throat.
Leroux's face blackened and his eyes
started out. His great chest heaved,
and he tore impotently at his enemy's
| strong fingers that were shutting out
air and light and consciousness. They
rocked and swayed; then, with last
cOnvulSive effort, LerouX swung Pierre
off his feet, raised him high in the air,
and tried to dash his body against the
projecting rock at the tunnels mouth.
But still the Indians fingers held

richness of this material, but Il
sets forth plainly the style of the
luxurious and practical garment. It
has wide muffler collar and deep
cuffs of caracul fur and a narrow
belt of the velvet that buttons at the
sides in the most nonchalant manner.
Aside from the interest that centers
in the novelty of the material used
in this coat, the wide, bias band of
the goods which appears to be but
toned around the front of it about
eight inches above the bottom, seized
the attention of spectators and was
credited with being a fine bit of
cleverness in designing.
Paris took kindly to tailored suits
this season and has furnished US wirh
models that have distinctly French
flavor. They are less plain and less
simple than the usual American crea-
tionS and certain of our own design
ers have adopted the French ideas.
But Paris decreed the very short skirt
and America rejected it, and for once
Paris changed its decree. We agree
on longer skirts and two-third length
coats and have fine example of
these features in the velvet suit shown
at the right of the picture. 1t is at
least reminiscent of the Russian
blouse, having all the verve and style
of that persistent inspiration.

Besides these there are some small

about the hat like small bouquets OF

The hat at the center of the group

wings joined by q breast make an eT'
