A POPULAR DECISION.

If the arms conference brought no
other result. it would be worth while
FOR its action in Outlawing the use Of
poison gas IN warfare 1t is a decision
in which the majority of mankind will
concur.
When Germany first introduced her
chemical warfare the nations allied
against her went sick with horror and
Indignation. 1t was against all their
instincts of decency and humanity that
they accepted the necessity of reprisalS
in kind. They could not consistently
advocate tie retention of such agencies
of slaughter when the decision rested
with them. War is ingloriOus enough
wien it gives the man with courage to
fight for his country his fighting chance
When II demands that men go out by
the hundreds of thousands and takes
that chance away, it is not war 1t is
butchery beyond the imagination of
Savages.
The interests which deplOre the aban-
donment of poison gas need not worry
In the event of another war, which they
are subconsciously promoting by their
attitude it won't take long to work VI
Elective means for wholesale slaughter
Tie last war taught us that. The thing
to work for and to hope for is that this
conference and those which succeed il
may find still further means for sub
uuing The terrible agencies of destruc

Wednesday and Thursday. The,
will see a fashion show, the equa
of which probably has never befor,
been filmed for use In dramatic
pictures. One OF the scenes shows
a fashionable modiste shop In New
York City which is modelled after the
big shops of Paris.
Gowns for every hour in the day
and for every occasion are shown in
this scene. For the purpose. ten
beautiful manikins with complete
outfits were obtained from a large
Fifth Avenue store. These girls
wore sport costumes. motor coats,
lounging robes. negligees, silver and
sapphire blue evening gowns, gowns
OF Jet and black velvet, riding
habits, and bathing suits.
For this scene Miss Ferguson wore
a gorgeous creation of silver and
gold, modelled after the Louis Six
teen style, with a black picture hat,
and black lace mantilla. The
dress was designed for a fancy dress
costume and not for ordinary wear.
Mary MacLaren, who plays one of
the principal roles in the picture
with Miss Ferguson, wears a lovely
evening gown of silver and lavender
georgette in this scene. which is
sure to give every woman who sees
it a big thrill. Many of the models
shown are direct from Paris.
Another striking gown worn by
Miss Ferguson in the picture, di-
rect importation from Paris, is made
of black cire cloth with silver leaves
super-imposed on it. The gown is
constructed along simple lines,
caught at the waist with black
ribbon girdle and held to the shoul-
ders with white ribbon bands.
The setting for the modiste shop
itself is almost as alluring as the
gowns worn by the women. 1t was
one of those places where wealthy
customers come to sip their tea and
watch the fashion parade. The
models came forth from an ARC de
Triomphe" over which was large
clock, used to indicate the hour for
wearing the particular gown that
was being shown to the guests and
buyers. : The scene is
said by Paramount to be one of the
most elaborate of its kind ever
staged.
