To figure out that complicated
world financial question forty OF the
leading men In Germany, including
authorities and specialists In every
branch and phase OF business-com-

The Instructions to the group from
the foreign minister, In effect. are TO
make "a Job of IT," and name the
figure which he can announce at the
London conference as being the ut
most that Germany can pay.

sible increases are being carefully
measured; taxation is being micros-
copically scanned. and the conse-

These forty hard-headed business
men can be said to constitute the

energies and their talents ON work

keen an interest and make as com

color.

pleasurable effect of q change Of
costume merely by a change of
blouse. Young girls especially like
things Of this sort-and it is an in
centive for girls to do a little crea-
tive work themselves, as it is very
easy matter to make waistcoats and
blouses such as these.
There is considerable talk about
velvets and other fabrics Of a velvet
finish for the coming winter, and no
doubt they will he extensively used,
but let Us hope that some restraint
will be exercised in the wearing of
such dressy materials, which are
always beautiful but more inappro-

will the silhouette be, for
this 10 most important in utiliz-
ing clothes left over from last sea
son as we'll as in buying new ones.
Those who have frocks and suits
that will give good service will be
delighted to learn that there is no In
dication of sudden change in sill
houette. The outline Of clothes is
much the same as it has been for
some time.
There will be changes certainly;
otherwise it would not be worth
while showing new collections Of
clothes. If they brought no news
with them they would fail TO inter-
est women or to stimulate buying. It
Is true the full skirt of ankle length
looms large upon the horizon, but no
one shows any great desire to make
an immediate and startling depar-
ture in silhouette.
This has its advantages from q
purely trade standpoint, for because
Of it the dressmaker does not have
to wait for new things to be accept
ed, but finds . ready sale for those
that have pleasing details but hold
to the lines that women have become
accustomed to and learned to like
during the last few years. The sue
cessful making Of clothes must COM
hine a certain amount Of the staple
with that which is individual.
The Mandarin Note
In Flowing Sleeves
MODELS brought out now as well
as those made several weeks
earlier represent the advance guard
of fall fashions. OF course, the full
showing Of fall styles has not yet
taken place, but those who follow
fashions have . good idea Of general
tendencies.
Frccks with wider skirts and
skirts that fare have already been
shown and viii continue to be. but
they have not been . great success.
nor are they likely to be for some
time. In fact, it is doubtful whether
women will ever again take to skirts
that are full about the ankles.
Everybody appears to like the elim
ankle line.
But the haring lines have been a
success in sleeves. There are many
long sleeves, although this does not
mean that the short sleeve has
passed. Loose. flowing effects some

One need not be especially dar-

hats will be wern with these. 1t is
in the natural order of things that
the pendulum should swing far

Glazed Effects

quers seem to have great IL
traction for those designing and
making clothes for fall.
In the early summer there wa.
revival Of cired effects influenced
greatly by the Endorsement of N.
house Of Callot, which went in far
all sorts of glazed finishes even on
the sheerest materials, such a.
n1ousselines and laces. At th,s
time great demand was created for
such materials, especially the eired
laces. Autumn will see a much mora
extensive use of shiny laces than did
| the summer.
Designs In these are % great sim.
plicity, which is Offset by brililanev
of color. Even in laces we see NOT
only lacquered effects, but the beau.
tiful rich colorings of old Chinese
lacquer work.
These effects may be overdone:
most fashions taken up so enthu.
siastically are. But it will be pleas.
ing, after the dull black dresses Of
recent months, to see bright clothes
at evening functions this coming
winter. 1t will be well, however. to
avoid going in too strongly for
them, because no woman wants 10
look as if her dressmaker had had
recourse to a pot OF bright red
paint and a jar of varnish.
Fall Evening Gowns
Rich in Color
ONE would have expected that
gold and silver cloths as we'll a
metal threads used to embroider
nets and laces might have ESCAPED
the craze for vanished effects; but
not so. They, too, have been put
through a process that has made
them take on an even higher luster.
Gold and silver cloth appears eY-
traordinarily shiny in certain places
and dull in others, thus marking out
new patterns on their surfaces.
In lace flouncings showing com.
binations Of bright coIored silk
threads and metal astonishingly gay
colors are seen. There are rich SAL
mon pinks, all of the orange tones
which shade into copper and brown,
as we'll as some interesting reds,
one a bright tomato and another
known as Van Dyke red, which has
some purple in its coloring.
Although the color tendency In
evening clothes is toward bright
shades we probably shall not appear
quite so gay on the street. At pres
emit the inclination is toward gTsy
and browns, the latter including
tan and beige shades. Ever 80 many
Of the early fall models in suits are
Of beige tones, frequently with
trimmings Of black fur.
New Hats Noteworthy
For Vivid Colorings
TN HOSIERY, tso, growing tend
ency toward beige tan and brown
has been noted. In Paris, beige
colored stockings have been more IN
evidence than smoky gray for some
time, although American women
while wearing beige hosiery to
some extent, appear TO prefer taupe
stockings with black shoes.
Although our footwear will blend
in tone with the soft beaver brown
and gray shades of autumn suits,
headgear will be much gayer. Moth
ing strikingly new has appeared in
the shapes of fall hats. Newness,
however, lies in their coloring'
There are beautiful, soft blues ano
many shades of red, such as those
that verge on the raspberry hucs
and other reds touched with mauye'
Shellackcd effects are as much IN
evidence in millinery as in dress nls-
terials. The treatment is not so ire
quently used on hats themselves as
on feather bands and various featn'
er trimmings. Shiny pendants ana

A Versatile Suit
For the School Girl

THIS is good type Of suit for a
school girls outfit. 1t is as
suitable TO wear in the late autumn
and winter as now, since special
waistcoat blouses have been provid
ed for such suits, ever so many of
them having the front Of a thick
material and the back of sheer
fabric SO that the fit of the coat is
not irterfered with.
These waists make the suit rather
a versatile affair, for the waistcoats
may be plain or Of the more dressed
