SHOW THE FLAG.

Show the flag and let 1t wave
AS symbol Of. the brave;
Let it float upon the breeze
AS sign for each who sees
That beneath 1t, where 1t rides
Loyalty today abides.
Show the flag and signify
That 1t wasn't born to die;
Let Its colors speak for you
That you still are standing true,
True in sight Of God and man
TO the work that flag began.
Show the flag that all may see
That you serve humanity.
Let 1t whisper to the breeze
That comes singing through the trees
That whatever storms descend
You'll be faithful to the end
Show the flag and let 1t fly,
Cheering every passerby.
Men that may have stepped aside,
May have lost their old-time pride,
May behold 1t there and then
Consecrate themselves again.
Show the flag! the day is gone,
When men blindly hurry on
Serving only gods of gold.
Now the spirit that was cold
Warns again to courage fine.
Show the flag and fall in line!

French DreSSmakers Give Nov

WEIRD AND FANTASTIC LOOK
Some Dresses Display Marked Eccen-
trlcity; Knife and Accordion Plat
ed Flounced Skirts Have
Gained Approval

Although styles at the present tim
are OF such extremely diverse types
observes leading fashion writer, sew
eral of the French dressmakers hav,
attracted attention through defnit,
notes which give both novelty ant
cachet to their models. Cheruit with
her loops has scored a success; Made
leine ct Madeleine with their sashes
and bloused bodices and Jenny will
her plaits.
AT frs: 1t was impossible to say
to what extent the loop draperies would
be accepted Owing to their some
what fanciful character and the as.
sembling Of two and three cOlors in
one dress, they were inappropriate for
street wear. They have, however, been
adopted for indoor and evening
clothes. and in these they have proved
more successful than was expected.
While giving round silhouette to
the skirt these draperies do not take
away the slenderness Of line. They
are In no wise related to the hip ex-
tended skirts, but at the same time
they are bouffant, light and airy look
ing.
Weird and Fantastic Dresses.
Cheruit launched the cOlored chif-
fon panel or loop drapery in alternat.
Ing shades of green and blue draped
on foundation of black taffeta. Some
OF these dresses have weird and fan
tastic look, as Is attested by one hav-

deep points and berdered with silver
braid. Over this fall the loops and
panels Of chiffon in green and blue, al
ternating to cover the full width of
the skirt. At the back are two trail
ing panels Of chiffon, one of green and
one Of blue. The sleeves are made In
the same eccentric fashion. This dress
seems quite fantastic for general wear.
Cheruit calls 1t robe de diner. tres
habille. 1t remains to be seen IL the
average woman will consider herself
well dressed in such a gown.
The same designer makes other loop
dresses that are wearable and charm

Is the combination Of blue and green
chiffon over black taffeta fOunda-
ton so that the shadow Of slim sill
houette Is retained, despite the multi
tudinous loops Of billowy blue and
green. A dress Of this type has also
the charming semi-fitted, uncorseted
bodice so characteristic Of Cheruit's
style.
Dark Blue Taffeta, Green Cascades.
In direct contrast to the looped
dresses are draped polonaise or SEMI
fitted princess gowns with cascading
draperies, or lovely sashlike jabots of
lace or net flowing from one side.
