To look really smart is huge prob
lem that the average woman is just
beginning to solve. The Partisan, by
a natural instinct, chooses her clothes
correctly and wisely, and always looks
chic. But the American woman in the
past has been inclined to lavish upon
herself fnery that was neither well
chosen nor becoming. To attain that
height of charm that the Partisan
possessed was not matter for a few
moments thought and then dismissal.
1t required study of ones own per-
sonality, attractions, and detractions,

for novelty shoes has decreased and
they are now passee. So few have
feet that can wear these oddly cut
boots and shoes; and still just those
who can not will attempt it if it has
been approved as the prevailing mode
in footwear. If one has those little
feet that look we'll only in short vamp
shoes, one should stick to short vamp
shoes whether la mode censors them
or not. Loud, extreme colors should
be avoided, and if one wants spot OF
light color next the skirt, there are
many subdued shades of spats that
one may get at a reasonable price.
One of the most durable styles that
one could buy for dressy wear is the
black kid pump. These are always m
fashion and will out-wear patent leath-
er, which becomes rather old-looking
after a very short time. For street
and walking, dark brown or mahogany
colored oxfords with the military heel,
are very smart. Evening pumps are
dependent upon the color of the gown.
But if there is doubt as to what color
will best harmonize with the frock, 1T
is always safe to wear silver cloth.
Little Change in Silhouette
Spring brings US no change in the
silhouette of the costume. The long
slim lines have proved so desirable
that they will not slip away after just
one season. Many little changes are
seen, such as novelty sleeves and col
lars. This attractive frocks of serge
and satin for Misses has very unus-
ual collar, having one end extend
down to about the knee. The other
has a rather odd-shaped tunic which
gracefully rounds at the center-front
seam.

and then the search for the exact
lines in dress that accentuated the
attractions and artfully hid the de-
fects.
Having found the suitable lines, the
harmony of the costume must be con-
sidered-harmony, for instance, be-

suit; and then, of course, harmony
in the color scheme. Some women
carelessly wear the hat that they wear

was something fantastic. Each was q
neglected alien in a nation of the undis-
tinguished. 1t is Dreisers feat that he
has displayed that oddly wildly without
the slightest touch Of caricature-that he
somehow convinces US of their general
humanness, and gets into his portrait of
each something of the universal human
tragedy.
In brief, this is book of extraordinary
qualities in plan, sound in struc-
ture, and, barring few smears of feeble
ness, highly adroit in execution. As I
have said, it goes back to the manner of
Sister Carrie and Jennie Gcrhardt-a va
riety of representation that has room for
the profOundest feeling, but is yet rather
aloof and unimpassioned. 1t projects
human existence as the greatest of spec
tacles, thrilling, narrowing, sometimes
downright appalling, but never hortatory,
never moral tale. The trouble with
Dresser in, say, The Genius, was that
this manner had slipped away from him
that moral pressure had forced him, on
the defensive, into a posture not unlike
that of the pulpit. The Genius presented
life less as an engrossing and inexplieable
spectacle than as a somewhat mawkish
document against comstockery and the
Methodist revelation of God To that ex-
tent it wabbled and was fabby To that
extent Dresser made mess of it.
But In Tacelre Men he has his old tools
in hand and is back at the trade he knows

H.L. Mencken Tells of Dreisers New Book

IRON the highest swing of Theodore
l. Dresser to his lowest stoop there is
q distance so great that it seems almost
fabulous-the distance, to wit, which sep
arates all that is rarest and soundest in
our literature from all that is shoddiest
and most trivial. Such book as Jennie
GerhGrdt is so brilliantly vivid, so pro-
foundry moving, so spacious and dignifed,
that one turns from it with a sort of dis
may TO such book as The Genius, with
its tedious pedantry, its interminable in
consequence, its childish and irritating
fatulence. 1t is as if Joseph Conrad, quit
ting a Youth or a Heart Of Darkness,
should proceed to a sentimental serial for
shopgirls and fat women; it is almost as
if Brahms should rise up out of hell to
write patriotic ballads for vaudeville
The phenomenon, unluckily, is not un-
matched in our beautiful letters. The late
Mark Twain, in the intervals Of challeng-
ing Swift and Radicals land, somewhat
behind the door, Nietzsche), often leaned
down to challenge Artemus Ward, Charles
II. Hoyt and NJ. Quad; it was his own in
durable weakness, indeed, and not the

so well His hacking is still often crude
He has his old weakness for phrases that
outrage the sensitive ear Like successive
fifths. He must wallow, anon, in his
banaities. He must give the English
language a clout or two over the head.
But the work that finally energies from
his inept striving is work that bears every
mark of first rate artist, save only that
of style. 1t is solid and soundly organ
lied 1t has sort of rough grace. 1t
conveys its idea massively and certainly.
1t is a good job.
One wonders what the campus pump
critics will make Of it. One wonders still
more how long they will cling to the de-
fusion that the way to get rid of an artist
beyond their comprehension is TO invent
the hypothesis that he doesn't exist. The
saddest business of our literary artists is
TO prove, over and over again, that the
academic Schlegels and Brandes of the
land are idiots. Poe did it. Whitman
did it. Mark Twain did it. And now
Dresser is doing it again.

ENJOYS
HEAR OF DEATH
Friends and Enemies Ad-
mitted His Great Inhu-
ence, Says Lansing.

Paris. Jan. 6.-News of the death OF
Col. Roosevelt, received late today,
came as a profound shock to the
American Peace Commission.
An attempt was Immediately made
to inform President Wilson, who is
en- route from Turin. Italy. to Parfs.
Secretary OF State Lansing said:
1.-The death OF Col. Roosevelt re-
moves from our national life a great
American. His vigor of mind and his
ceasless energy made him a conspicu-
Gus figure in public affairs.
His friends and enemies alike
recognized the force of his person
ality and the great influence which
he had in moulding the public
thought and purposes.
His patriotism and devotion to
his country will long be remember
ed by all his fellow citizens, while
his sturdy Americanism will be an
inspiration to future generations"
Gen. Bliss said:
'T am astounded by the news"
Henry White, Republican member
of the American peace delegation,
said:
1T is a great tragedy"
President Wilson undoubtedly will
issue a personal statement upon his
return to Paris expressing his deep
sorrow at Col. Roosevelt's death.

FAITHLESS TO PARTY
AS WELL AS COUNTRY
Attorney Clyne Charges Berger with
Disloyalty to Socialism.

Chicago. Jan. 6.-Representative-
elect Victor l. Berger and his four
co-defendants in the Socialist trial
before Federal Judge Lands today
were scored as faithless. not only to
the United States, but to the So
cialist party. United States District
Attorney Clyne made the charge in
an address to the jury, bas!ng his
accusation on the declaration Of
John SpargO. once a leading Social
ist. who quit the party because he
believed the Overrunning OF Bel
gium by the Germans violated So
cialist principles as well as inter-
national treaties.
Mr.. Clyne told the jury that the
government had furnished twenty
six times as much proof of the de-
PENDANTS guilt as was necessary to
convict them under indictments
charging violation of the espionage
act.
Closing arguments will be made
tomorrow. The verdict is expected

Capital, Fascinated for 7
Years by His Personality,
Shocked at News-Ofi-
cialdom Pays Glowing
Tribute.

With flags flying at half-staff and
politics forgotten, Washington yester-
day mourned for Theodore Roosevelt.
1t was the Colonel of his seven
years at the White House that the
Capital remembered yesterday, the
yirile, energetic figure that every
knew and admired
from the smallest street urchin to the
most dignified stateman. Stories OF
his long rides through the woods and
over the fields of Maryland and Vir-
ginia, of his boyish pranks played on
the Secret Service men detailed to
guard him, of his romps with his chill
dren. were remembered and told by
those who knew him in those days.
Friend and political foe forgot their
differences to praise the man and
statesman who had served his country
well.
It's hard to think of him dead"
an old guard at the White House gate
said. 1T seems just last week that
he came riding through this very gaA
on that big horse of his and little
Quentin riding along by his side on
that calico pony of his. 1t don't
seem possible to think of death and
the Colonel in the same breath"
Always Mention Quentin.
Almost invariably White House
"reminiscences of the former Presi-
dent were mingled with stories of his
little son. whose gallant death on the
battfefields of France may have in
no small way contributed to the death
OF the father.
"I always remember 'em together"
the guard said, little Quentin, so
straight and manly for his age. and
the Colonel so proud of the little
man. He always liked to be with
his boys and used to play with them
on the White House grounds just
like one of EN-"
When news of his death reached
the White House, the flag over the
building was lowered to half-staff
and remained flying in that position
for the rest of the day. Had the
former President lain dead in the
White House, clothed in all his
Presidential dignity. the historic
mansion could have displayed no
greater sign or grief at his passing.
Ordinarily the flag is removed from
above the White House during the
absence of the President, but at the
notice of Col Roosevelts death the
emblem Immediately was raised in
token OF respect to the former master.

RESTORE KAISER
GERMAN DESIRE
Strong Movement on Foot
to Replace Wilhelm on
Imperial Throne.

Amsterdam, Jan. "a strong
movement is developing in Germany
to replace the former Kaiser on the
throne. All non-Socialist newspa-
pers are now referring to him not
as the former Kaiser" but as "Kai-
ser Wilhelm"
Addresses of sympathy have been
circulated throughout Germany for
signatures to be sent to his exile at
Amerongen, on January 81. Will
helms birthday.
The Deutsch Tages Zeitung
t-ount Zu Reveltlaw's pan-German
organ) is agitating for the creation
of Hohenzollern state. Handsome
ly paid bands of propagandists are
preaching in the villages:
Compare Germany under Will
helm and Germany under Ebert"
They predict epidemics. foreign
occupation and bad crops unless the
Kaiser returns. Many Hollandens
and other neutrals returning from
Germany tell of a change in the peo-
pies attitude toward the former
monarch.
Our poor Kaiser, we have been
unfair to him." is general saying.
All this seems to show that very
many people in Germany. having
had a taste of republicanism are
already sick of it. While Wilhelm
is remaining quiet himself at
Amerongen, sick, detected, and dis
couraged," German public opinion is
being slowly prepared for his pos
sible restoration.
kaiserism will not be dead in Ger
many until the head of the Hohen-
zollerns is sent to some military island,
guarded by allied cruisers in some dis
tant part of the world, instead of
Amerongen, where he is only some
hours motor run from his former
realm.
The chief counts against the former
Kaiser were Germany's defeat and
his flight to Holland. Every one ex-
cepting the Socialists is now trying to
convince the world that the flight was
inspired only by loftiest patriotism,
while the entente fable" of Ger
many's defeat has long since been dis
posed of by the Socialist government
themselves, so the imperial slate
seems to be wiped clean again.
There are two obstacles to be over
come-the army and the workers. But
the overwhelming majority of the army
is really pro-Kaiser and there is no
telling how much sincerity there is in
labor's denunciation of imperialism,
which they, served with such amazing
devotion only three months ago.
While the former Kaiser is permitted
to remain in Holland the German ..e-
public is unsafe.

Willing to Stand Trial,
Ludendorf Went Abroad

London, Jan. 6.-Gen. Ludendorff,
former chief of the German armies.
announced his willingness to stand
trial shortly after the armistice was
signed. but the government permitted
him to leave the country, according
to the Dusseldorfer Nachrichten.
The newspaper bases its information
on a letter from Wilhelm Drencher,
a friend of the general, who wrote:
"On November 13 Ludendorff told
the government he was ready to
stand trial. but the government ap-
proved his going abroad"

REGRET FOR 7. R.
Death Strikes Great Britain
Forcibly, Making Deep
Impression.

London, Jan. s.-News OF the
death of Theodore Roosevelt struck
London forcibly late today and mada
a deep impression. 1t was the chief
subject of discussion everywhere to-
night. The late afternoon papers
carried brief dispatches from New
York in heavy type and some had
pictures of the Colonel covering al
most the whole front page.
King George and Queen Nary, re-
ceiving the first news expressed the
deepest regret.
Their majesties. who Were at San

diately to telegraph condolences to

time of Lieut.. Quentin Roosevelt ;
death.
The Kings secretary said his
majesty knew Col. Roosevelt well
and was very fond of him.
Shock to 'Tay Pay
"Tay Pay" O'Connor, famous Irish
leader, said: col. Roosevelt's death
comes as one of the most painful
shocks of my life. I had the honor to
be in close touch with him for many
years.
He was a warm hearted, generous
man, and a true American to his in
nermost soul. He was a lifelong and
consistent friend of the Irish race. of
whose blood in his veins he was also
proud"
Sir Thomas Upton said: Col. Roose-
welt was the personification of every
thing manly and strenuous in the
American nation. His outspoken frank
ness and fearlessness when he thought
it was necessary to criticize us, en-
deared him to everyone in Great Brit
ain. The world loses a gallant figure
by his untimely death"
Great BrItain's Friend.
The Evening Star says: Roosevelt
was the staunchest friend of Great
Britain and an advocate of the allied
cause throughout the war"
The Pail Mall Gazette says: Col.
Roosevelt has without doubt left his
mark on the history of the world. He
was a great personality
