words. Under no circumstances

AS he spoke he flung open the door
and the count entered. 1t cannot be
said that the atmosphere of the room
was congenial. The three occupants
were regarding one another in hostile
silence, and as the count entered they,
with one accord, transferred their sus-
piciOus glances to him.
For a moment he stood motionleSS,
while he looked at each one in turn.
Then he stepped forward.
"Good evening, conference.-the still

head waiter Let dinner be served in

With a bow the man left the room,
and the door closed.
During that five minutes, gentle
men, l propose to introduce myself to
you, and you to one another. The
business which l wish to discuss we
will postpone, with your permission,
till after the coffee, when we shall be
undisturbed."
In silence the three guests waited
until he unwOund the thick white muf-
fer; then, with undisguised curiosity,
they studied their host. In appearance
he was striking. He had short dark
beard, and in profile his face was aqui-
line and stern. The eyes, which had
so impressed the manager, seemed
now to be q cold grey-blue; the thick
brown hair, tiecked slightly with grey,
was brushed back from a broad fore
head. To even the most superficial OBJ
server the giver of the feast was q
man of power; man capable of form
ing instant decisions and of carrying
them through.
And if so much was obvious to the
superficial observer, it was more than
the fire watching him. Each one of
them, as be watched the host, realized
that he was In the presence of a great
man. 1t was enough: great men do
not send fool invitations to dinner to
men of International repute. 1t mat

hand. ST am glad you managed to

The American shook the profered

him with sudden interest. AS the man

he could count, he was entitled to

Organdy and voile are not the only
mediums through which the fashion for
white is expressed. Somewhere. some
how. q peace conference must have met
which signed an international treaty for
the wearing of white. OF course ii was
openly arrived at, behind closed doors,

new democracy but its decision has
reached the public through the minority
who seize upon a new fashion.

1t has suddenly taken the place of the
crepe de chine SASH the ornamental
leather belt of the satin girdle. 1t is
chosen in color that contrasts with the
frock 1t should not match it.
One of the other coored organdy
frocks which has caused public attention
is in that lavender tone we call orchid.
1t sounds rich. Its width is augmented
by small ruffies which billow around it
like surf. The tight bodice has more Of
these ruffies at the Second Empire decol-
letage and on the edge of the very short
sleeves. To accentuate the orchid tone
of the material there is purple taffeta
hat, a bunch of purple grapes at the
waistline and a purple parasol. ~
When the dressmakers have organdy
left over from any frock they use it up
as ruffles for taffeta gowns. We would
have gazed with amazement last sum-
mer upon a woman wearing a Spanish
skirted frock OF black taffeta trimmed
with scallops of white organdy, increas-
ing the size of the hips beyond what
nature ever intended. This summer the
appearance of the same frock causes
that kind of excitement which precedes
imitation and accompanies admiration.

built of rufies of white net and the wide
crown has a scarf of red wolfe which
hangs to the hem of the skirt at the
back.
Oreandy Frocks Quite Conspicuous
The dressmakers who have returned
organdy to fashion through the medium
of the distended skirt have made 1t more
conspicuous by choosing colors. They
use white organdy for ornamenting other
frocks but choose orchid. pale greer
topaz yellow and French blue for picture
frocks to be worn on gay social o.
casions.
The skirts of these frocks are so wide
it would not be possible for the wearer
TO take part in any such public activity

WOULD ELIMINATE WASTE.
If 1 were outlining one of the
most essential directions for .ex-
pansion of governmental activity. it
would be in the constructive study
and ventilation of the whole gamut
of these possible improvements and
Of elimination of our great wastes in
labor. in material. in power and a
host of other directions.
There are some of these directions
in which / believe this department
can secure some results by co-opera-
ton within the different trades. and
industries. Through this cooperation
we shall be able to improve some Of
our business practices; to extend the
standards in manufactured products
which would make great savings to
our consumers and promote our
foreign commerce. These are not in
any event, however possible of &C
must be accomplished first by proof
OF necessity and then by co-opera-
ton of the trades who must have a
part in their determination and de-
velopment. i am convinced that they
are only too anxious to develop such
demonstrated things.
There are some economic Difficult
ties arising from the war that will no
doubt solve themselves with time, but
an infinite amount of misery could be
saved IL we had the same spirit of
spontaneous co-operation in every
community for reconstruction that
we had in war. Governmental de-
partments can at least try to do
something to inspire such renewed
CO. operation. For instance, we have
three or four million idle men walk
ing the streets, and at the same time
we are short more than a million
homes; our railways are far below
their need of equipment: our power
plants. waterways and highways are
all far behind our national needs in
normal commerce. To apply this idle
labor to our capital equipment is one
of the first problems of the country
Its solution involves constructive
action in many directions. but among
other things definite resolution of
each local community to secure CO.
operation in itself. In the building
trade. for instance, get-together
attitude on the part of labor. material
manufacturers and contractors in
every locality to eliminate misprac-
tices and bring down the expense Of
