GAYETY GONE
FROM AUSTRIA
Misery Reigns in vienna's Coney
Island and Throughout
Sorrowful Nation.
BY DOROTHY THOMPSON
Internationally News Service.

VIENNA, Jan. 3.-Prater, the
Coney Island of Vienna, always
heretofore the scene of her most
riotous moods, is, in December, i'Eo'
the scene of her deepest misery.
FUGITIVEs ARE wRETCHED.
For here the fugitiver, most
wretched of Vienna's wretched pop
ulation, have found flimsy shelter'
Huddled together in summer cares,
through whose frail walls the VIVA
cuts, and the rain seeps, sleeping
on sacks OF straw, trudging mles
each day to some distant pup'io
kitchen where they receive single
meal of soup and bitter bread they
wait for the summons or the per-
mission to move on.
Around them on the walls painted
scenes of carnival mock them'
shall never forget seeing a JeWlsh
boy from Poland, consumed win
raging fever, lying on sack OF
straw in one of these improVlseu
barracks, while smiling nymph
leaned toward him from the life
sized painting on the wall, holding
out a basket of luscious fruit.
Outside the winter rains have
washed the last leaves from the
trees. The merry-go-rounds and th~
scenic railways, shrouded In can
vas. loom up like great distorted
ghosts.
BEDS OF CHAIRS.
The relief committees, pleased to
have found any shelter whatever
for this unwanted population, nave
improvised beds of restaurant
chairs. They put eight chairs In
two rows, facing each other, with
the seats almost touching. AT the
head" and foot" two more chairs
are placed. That makes frame
work. Into this Is dumped gunny
sack filled with straw. One prays
that the fugitives have quilts with
them. because there are no covers.
In the center of the great barracks
a little iron stove, fed with twigs
and bits of wood gathered in the park
outside, contends valiantly with It's
enemy, the wind, which enters on all
sides through the great windows
which are only temporary walls built
as protection against summer
showers. Sometimes the wind blows
the stove out entirely. But while II
burns it casts an aura of Warmth for
n radius of few feet and into this
circle press the thirty or forty dwell
lers of the cafe.
This is one phase of the famous
Vienna restaurant life.

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Jan. -
Dreams OF becoming cinema stars

OF the bursting there OF an al

HERE'S HOPING HE SUCCEEDS
French Inventor Working on Scheme
Which Would Lower the Price
Of Wearing Apparel.

A French inventor, who has spent
many years in Brazil and Nicaragua,
states that women will be able to pur-
chase blouses, jumpers. and even cos
tunes, made Of leaves and peelings.
Men may be offered suits and under
wear of the same materials.
This man has devised machine
which can extract weaving threads
from bananas, pineapples, and other
fibrous plants. For example, the leaf
of the wild pineapples gives thread
over two yards long.
He hopes later to be able to utilize
the skins Of many other fruits. 1t is
10 he hoped that he succeeds, for the
cost of clothes will be considerably
less than those made of present-day
imitation silks and mercerized cot
tons.

Mode
For Spring Togs

There is to be new mode in the
sprlng and 1t 10 to follow the Direc-
tolre with faithfulness, asserts prom
lnent fashion correspondent. Now, OF
course, the great question is: What
Is the DirectOire?
Small profit lies In going into the
history of the thing. II bridged the
gal. between the French Revolution
and the Empire styles. Put that h

ion. The feverish points of considera-
ton are: First, Is the thing practi-
cal? Second, Is II suited to the ex-
preston of our modern time? Well,
the verdict of designers is that 1t Is
both of these things, so we can pro-
ceed to a further business of under
standing without any undue worry.
1t seems that the American women
feel a strong need of something that
Is different and distinct change from
what they have been wearing, at least
SO the designers say. They report
that the women come to them with dis
satisfied looks and wrinkled brows de-
manding to know what is new" in the
present styles. Then they valiantly
bring forth their newest conceptions In
the way of the straight one-piece
dresses that we have been wearing for
so long and are met with peevish
frowns and dissatisfied gances
There's nothing new about those"
they complain. And 1t is the truth
there is nothing new. But. then, we
have had the war and the after effects
of that great struggle. and we have
had Paris sending us gowns along the
same old lines and after the same sue
cessful ideas, so what chance have we
had to obtain anything distinctly
new?
But now the foremost American de-
signers have taken a stand and they
announce that they will make up and
promote gowns In the directoire man.
ner for spring wear. In fact, they are
doing SO now, and illustrations only 60
to show how successful they are and
how truly fascinating the dresses are,
viii Consent to Moderate Changes.
Perhaps the American woman has
reached the point where she will not
be dictated to. to the extent of changing
all of the style Of her garments every
season, but she will consent to moder-
ate changes II they do not follow each
other in such quick and uninterrupted
succession. Now, the authorities seem
to agree, she Is ready for change of
some sort. She has tired of the unre-
mitting sameness of the gowns that
have been. and II is believed she will
welcome complete change for the
spring season. SO here is the mean
ing of the Directoire In its newest in
depreciation, for 1t cannot be entirely
true TO its old-time ideals. 1t must
conform with new demands and new
situations.
One suit shown Is an interesting d.
rectoire adaptation, for the short cont
accentuates the high waist line, which
is one Of the salient points Of the new
mode The JACKET hangs straight and
loose and the waistline of the skirt
snuggles under the arms so that the
lines of the skirt fall straight from
under the overhanging coat. The col
lars and cuffs on this suit are another
prevalent feature of these newer Direc-
toire styles. They flare and stand
out straight and stiff away from the
coat to which they are attached. In
| this instance they are made O. yell
low pique cut double and stitched to-
gether.
II will be noticed that everything
about the directoire lines makes the
models suitable especially for the
slightest variety Of feminine figure. but
the designers, who are, after all. clever

coats adapt themselves to figures of
more ample proportions. They have
tricks of cutting and fitting that bring
the lines into harmony both with the
figures they are designed to adorn and
with the period which sets the fashion.
Coat Has High Waistline.
A blue serge suit-one of the fresh
est on the market and just newly
launched from the workroom-is made
with coat that has high waist line.

mentioned. There Is then attached a

four inches In width. These are lined
with tomato-red silk that shows only
ut rare intervals when the founces
sweep away from the figure and show
the color that Is their foundation. The
collar on this suit is made Of white
pique. and Is shaped so that II stands

are made double, and turn back over
the suit sleeves. 1t Is pretty fash
ion, and most becoming when well
done.
Another suit. with coat that reaches
well below the knees In front and
slopes TO shorter length at back, Is
made of champagne-colored twill. At
the point where the severely cut re-
vers come together there Is a yoke
line and a link button to hold the coat
In place. Then the rest of the coat
tarries out the straight directoire line,
and the skirt is just tight enough and
straight enough to make walking a
simple matter. This suit is trimmed
with the merest suggestion Of an in
sertion of Roman-striped ribbon run
ming lengthwise Of the skirt and in
serted at the edges of the coat pockets
| and along the outer edges of the
| sleeves for a space above the fiaring
] portions at the hands. This is one
of the most practical of all the newer
models, and one that is surely des-
tined to be notable spring success.
A street frock made from gray twill
Is something in the manner of coat
| dress with all of the elements of the
| directoire applied to its construction.
J 1t has very tight fitting, long sleeves,
as most of these directoire creations
have. Then it has a wide, pointed
neck line arrived at when one side Of
a coat overdress laps over the other
side. There 1t joins at one point be-
low the pointed line and falls away
from the short waist line into the
skirt portion. Now, by way of trim
ming, this overdress is bound with pale
orange silk and is lined with the same
thing. so that the lining reveals itself
now and again. This gown is quite
startlingly new in appearance and
most fascinating in the way 1t Is done.

the most prejudiced mind to the adapt
ability Of the directoire.
