The New Clothes

Perhaps it is because the tail1eur has enjoyed such popularity this sea- son that blouses are such elaborate affairs. Although g. great many smart women never remove their suit coats in the early spring, still as the days grow warmer, a blouse Is a welcome asset. The blouse of this season is so decorative, and In so many instances designed expressly for the suit it glorifies. that when the coat is remov- ed it gives the effect of a finished cos tune, different from the severe waist and skirt effect of a few years ago.
 The combination of lace and taffeta is good, and the over-skirt of taffeta falling over a petticoat of lace, quite full, is worn. Usually in these dresses, the bodices are of the taffeta- with the trimmings of lace and sometimes rib bon is used. This form of trimming is always good, especially in the lighter shades. Mostly all the dresses have a. soft girdle of ribbon
 The evening gowns are as elaborate as ever with the popular all jet dress leading. In the evening gowns. black is the favorite just now and seems to be holding out longer than most colors. There Is a great use of taf- feta and one gown of pale lavender seen recently was combined with pale pink in the form of an over shirt with scalloped edge The low neck bo- dice had no sleeves. But a scarf of lavender tulle was wrapped several times around the neck, leaving the shoulders bare.
 High necked blouses are very smart. One very lovely one has rows of tuck ing and inserts of exquisite lace to recommend 1t. A smart little blue bow ties about the throat. There are few things more attractive than handmade lingerie blouse when worn over an exquisite chemise of pine apple lawn or handkerchief linen, law and embroidery.
 A lavish use of beads also appears on some of the better blouses. One orchid georgette model has a long panel at the front, completely cov- cred with a design carried out in rose crystal beads and pearl A touch of blue brings out the coioring effec- lively.
 are eXIreITely and the sheer French voile models are as exquisite as any georgette blouse. Hand frawn work, embroidery and hemstitching appear in profusion on almost all the better models. One unusually pretty blouse has squares of Mexican drawn work down the front, and triangles of the same ap- pear below a shallow collar in the back.
 Georgette evening coats or after noon coats are not unusual this spring. And really there is enough warmth in the georgette coat, light as it is, to protect the wearer from Idiscommort- Many of the best of these coats are trimmed with narrow bands of fur, The fur is not wide enough to seem bulky, but it is in charming contrast to the transparent material of the coats.

citizens Of our republic.

illustrious citizens Of our republic.
IAN examination of the statistics of
American immigration shows that
since the foundation of our govern
ment the United Kingdom Of Great
Britain and Ireland has contributed
S,400,OOO of her people and Germany
more than 100000. Ireland, with
more than 100000; Great Britain,
with a little less than 100000, and
Scandinavia. with something less than
100000, have together with Germany,
contributed more than half of the total
immigration to our shores since the
beginning Of the Revolutionary war.
"When we take the German immi'
grafton to the United States between
1776 and 1890 and compare it with that
from other countries, somewhat
startling result, and one usually unsus-
pected, is disclosed. The total arrivals
of aliens in those ia years aggregated
156S9,OOO, Of whom more than 6,OOO.-
600 were British and Irish and $685.
600 were Germans, which shows that
one alien out Of every three arriving
in America during more than a Gen.
tury of our existence was German.
Trends Different Since 1890.
"Since 1890 the trend has been very
different. With more than 100000
immigrant arrivals since that date,
only 1,O230O0 have been Germans. If
from this number a proper deduction
is made for those who returned to
their homeland and those who have
died since their arrival, it will be seen
that there are fewer than 100000 for
mer subjects of the kaiser in this coun-
try who have not been here more than
26 years. OF more than 100000 peo-
pie of German birth and immediate
ancestry among US. fewer than 1.O0O,-
600 fail to have the background Of
birth or long residence in America be-
hind them.
1T is interesting to note the other
foreign elements that have entered
into the makeup of American popula-
ton since 1776. More Irish people have
crossed the seas to become part Of US
than have remained behind.
"Austria- Hungary stands next on the
list of contributors to the immigrant
stream that has flowed from Europe
to America.
"Italy has sent us enough of her
people to duplicate the population of
Montana. Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon,
Nevada. Utah, Colorado, Arizona and
New Mexico, while England's and Scot
lands contribution, 3,ss9;0o0 in all, to-
gether with Ireland's 4,50O,OO0, gives
a total Of 8,3s9. 900, or plenty to popu-
late all of the states lying west Of
Texas and the Dakotas.
"The Russians who have come to
our shores number 3,419,0O0. They
could replace one-haf Of the popula-
tion of New England"

Washington.-"High hope for the pro-

population" says bulletin from the

In describing the volume Of this in
dux, not generally realized, which WAS
halted by the European war, the bull
ietin quotes from a communication to
the society as follows:
''Who can estimate our debt to- immi-
grafton? Thirty-three million people
have made the long voyage from alien
shores to our own since it was pro-
claimed that all men are born free
and equal, and liberty's eternal fire
was kindled first on American soil!
History records no similar move
ment Of population which in rapidity
or volume can equal this. Compared
to 1t, the hordes that invaded Europe
from Asia, great and enormous as they
were, were insignificant.

children are now in good truth bone Of
