Only Case of Its Kind in Our History

fourth Infantry Regiment, Eighty
ninth Division, of the Army of the
United States"
There was considerable debate Sem
ator Smoot suggested that the bill go
over and then that the compensation
be cut to the usual $4,000. Senators
Robinson, Spencer and Reed cham
piOned the bill. Reed said in part {:
This young man lived in my city.
He at one time had been bank exam
liner and was regarded as one of the
most promising young men of that
city. His earning capacity for his
family was such that $4,000 is no
compensation, viewed from that cold
standpoint. 1t is the only instance
l know of in the history of our coun-
try where a man wearing the uniform
of an officer of the United States, be-
cause he did wear that uniform. was
admitted into a financial institution
being run for the benefit of the gov
eminent and of the soldiers, and, wear

atrociOus assault and murder. 1t is

ion. The feverish points of considera-
ton are: First, is the thing practi-
cal? Second, is it suited to the ex-
preston of our modern time? Well,
the verdict of designers is that it is
both Of these things, so we can pro-
coed 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-
handing 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 glances.
There's nothing new about those"
they complain. And it 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 stand and they
announce that they will makesup and

directoire applied to its construction.
1t has very tight fitting, long sleeves,
as most Of these directoire creations
have. Then it has q wide, pointed
neck line arrived at when one side Of
a coat overdress laps over the other
side. There it 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 it is done.
