Our Wealth Harmless

Philip Gibbs, in Harper's Magazine.
 There are many rich people in New York-more, I suppose, than in any other city of the world, but, apart from cos mopolitan men and women who have luxury beneath their skins, there is no innate sense of it in the social life of these people. In the hotel palaces, as well as in the private mansions along Fifth avenue and Riverside drive. all their outward splendor does not alter the simplicity and honesty of their character. They remain essentially ''middle-class,' and have none of the easy lcentiousness of that European aristocracy which. be- fore the war, Haunted it's wealth and it's vice in Paris, Vienna, Monte Carlo and other haunts where the cocottes of the world assembled to barter their beauty, and where idle men went from boredom to boredom in search of subtle forms of pleasure. American women of wealth spend vast sums of money on dress. and there is the glitter of diamonds at many dinner tables, but most of them have too much shrewdness of humor to play the ''vamp and the social code to which they belong is swept clean by common sense. My dear' said an American hostess who belongs to one of the oM rich families of New York, "fogive me for wearing my diamonds tonight. It must shock you, coming from scenes of ruin and desolation.' This dowager duchess of New York, as I like to think of her, wore her diamonds as the mayor of provincial town in England wears his chain of office, but as she sat at the head of her table in one of the big mansions of New York I saw that wealth had not cambered the soul of this mas terful lady. whose views on life are as direct and simple as those of Abraham Lincoln. She was the middleclass house. wife in spite of the footmen who stood in fear of her.

street coat suits and afternoon capes. There is a disposition to use copper and yellow fur on all clothes, and even that wonderful imitation fur made of gold and copper metallic threads, by Rodier, is again used by Poiret on an oriental wrap. The Galleries Lafayette show immense collars on golf capes that are made of this imitation fur in copper colored jersey threads. By the way, it is a temptation to drop the Cheruit col lection to go into the subject of golf capes which are advanced over here for the pleasure season at Biarritz, in which we will adopt, possibly, at Palm Beach for February.
 These will be admirable for white and pastel colored frocks on the beaches, or at White Sulphur in the autumn. They are circular capes with deep collars, in yellow, checked with brown stripes. in apple green striped with rust, in scar let checked with brown. There are soft, collapsible hats in felt to go with them. Possibly you have them in America by this time. If not, it is wise to get them.

come to Paris. They may not wish to buy a red satin kimono lined with black for day wear by an American, but they can find strong novelty in the method of embroidery which covers nearly all the surface of the kmono with flat roses and stems quilted down with a thin gold thread. This rose embroidery, by the way, is accentuated and emphasized throughout all the houses. Bulox will use immense roses to hold the drapery of an evening gown and Worth will place a loose, full blown pink rose at the hip of a gown, then drop a succession of it's petals down the length of the skirt. One might say that there is strong tendency to drop trimming in a casual manner on splendid jet embroideries that are used in a large majority of gowns. even those of silk jersey, the whole movement of ornamentation is to effect a casual, care less appearance. Each gown looks as though it had handful of trimming thrown on it like confetti which caught into the meshes of the fabric where and now IL cOulu.
 The jet gowns are the only ones of fered for the evening that have set design; this is heavy, rich and stately. yet the effect and the weight of the material are light. None of the jet ap- pears to be cumbersome. The beads are
 tiny and they are shaded from black
 into gold, from powder blue into dark silver, from furnished copper into dull
 rust. These gowns are more expensive than any other kind. Whenever the American loudly protest against the prices of clothes, this season in Paris, they are told stories of how much one has to pay for embroidery workers. This is true. An interesting chapter could be written on the raise in wages to those employed in dressmaking
 houses and those who work in fabrics.
 It can be said that it costs dress maker in Paris far more to produce a gown now than before the war, and that the advance in prices for these gowns is not commensurate with the advance in the cost of labor. The circle
 is vicious one and all but the newly rich in Europe are agitating a strong
 propaganda for making ones clothes at home. In England there is clique of

Uncle Sam Packs His Trunk

Some of the almost incredible savings in cargo space that were effected during the war when tlls various army corps instituted d mass attack on the cubic foot, are recounted by John II. Van De- venter. in Everybody's.
 Comparatively stnal individual savings made big totals. An officer went to contractors plant and built crate that required 254 cubic feet. He tried agais and bettered it by nine feet Still unsatis. fled, he made another trial and producet one that contained but 2G7 cubic feet. Th@s' reduction !n space saved Uncle sam s2S0, ,272 in cargo space on subsequent ship-' ments On one small item of 5000 mauls lit was found that over POGO cubic feet of space could be saved by not assembling the heads and handles on this side of the water, but by boxing them knocked down" Up to September 26 1918, the say ing due to scientific packing just on ar tilery vehicles ac.ually shipped abroad amounted to 5,671i32 cubic feet of cargo space. It is easier tc grasp the importance of this when you know that five million cubic feet is equivalent to 30 average sized freight ships.

New Uses for Alcohol

Oswald F. Schuette, in Leslie's.
 The prohibition enforcement bill con- tains one important section that has been generally overlooked. This re- lated to the manufacture of industrial alcohol By removing the severe re- auctions heretofore imposed. it is declared that the passage of the law will reduce the cost of denatured alco- hol 40 per cent. This would greatly increase the possibilities of it's use for heat light and power purposes, as it would then be cheaper than gaso- line. This would also help to solve the problem of saving much of the in- vestments in distilleries now threat ened with destruction. For it would give new field of profitable explo- itation.
 Up to 1906. all grain alcohol made in the United States had to pay the. high internal revenue tax levied on beverage alcohol-whether it was used for in dustrial purposes or not. This gave an enormous advantage to the indus tries of Germany which had made great strides by means of tax-free denatured alcohol. So Congress provided that denatured alcohol should be tax-free. which almost cut the price in two. But Congress did not remove the statutory restrictions upon the manufacture of alcohol, which had been necessary for the proper taxation of the beverage pro- duct. No distillery could run con- tinuously. It could operate only six days week. Then there were severe restrictions concerning methods. all of which prevented cheap production.

 G7f1HE house of cheruit caused a mild
 sensation at it's opening by using = real roses embroidered on silk or :. cloth of silver. No one can deny the ex- traordinary novelty of this touch Actual roses are used, remember, that grew iu a garden and still have a faint perfume. The brother-in-law of Madame Boulan- ger. who is the head of the house, in- vented this embroidery and the Maison Cheruit is the only one that exhibited Another kind of embroidery was used, also invented by the same skilled worker and it was confined to only two houses as far as the observer could find out. The small house which caters to an ex- elusive segment of the American trade did not get Ter embroidery finished, how ever, until several days later than the Cheruit opening and even then it was used in small quantities The latter em- broidery was made of the material of the gown and the design was flat roses con- nected with long stems, all embroidered, and held to the surface of the frock by quitting stitch in gold or silver thread. The embroidery with the real roses showed the quilting stitch also. The petals of immense full grown roses were used. all in shades of pink and red and the metallic stitches were run all over the petals so that they could not fall or tear The roses must have been put through some murmifying process, for they have no appearance of dissolving, even under the stress of hard usage. Even the edges of the petals that are not held to the fabric are so steadied by the metallic threads that they merely blow about in the breeze as the mannequins walk. This embroidery is the actual new note struck by Cheruit- The Americans do not feel that the gowns which the roses are used have any especial grace. The skirts are made of silver cloth or tuile and the roses are punched together over the full surface; at the sides of the skirts are long shooting star streamers of vari-colored tulle or chiffon. Thesa streamers are kicked about by the man. nequin as she tries to walk over the polished floor Frequently she stumbles Her StreamerS ana her rect arc CouSl<iil' . ly tangled Imagine this gown on dance floor. Cheruit strongly emphasizes the short, punched skirt of tulle and silver cloth with a negligible bodice, the entire gown riot of contrasting colors. Some times she puts six bright rainbow colors in the streamers that will drop to ragged and uneven lengths on the floor at the sides and the middle of the back and then mass a hundred roses in other brilliant colors over the front of the skirt. This type of gown. minus the rose embroidery, was worn in America the winter before last by those who copy stage fashions. It is a de luxe edition of a Columbine gown
 Cheruit departs from the pannier sii- houette in street froclzs and coats. She entirely ignores it, except for the fact that she often ties her hip sashes as the left side and makes the ends stand -.out by edging them with fur. She takes the kimono as a model and she rarely departs from it in the entire collection. She plays variations on it. But the out

make only 800 tons a day. So the distilleries were permitted to run with out restraint. This resulted in 1000 ton-a-day output. The prohibition en- forcement bill contains a chapter de- voted exclusively to the repeal of all the restraining laws and our indus tries should reap the benefit. For to cheapen industrial alcohol to a point where it can compete with oil for fuel and power means to cut big dent into the high cost of living.
