THE FALL SKIRTS
Lone and Short Effect Combined

in LImelight; Contrast to De-
velop the Trimming.

Out of the mixture of the newer
fashions that are being presented to
the public as advance models, says
fashion authority in the New York
Times, we CLEAN the following leading
facts which are pertinent to the de-
velOpment of the fall fashions and
which will be more than useful to any
one who has to have her clothes de-
signed at the present time.
Long skirts there will be beyond the
shadow of any doubt, but they can
have intersticeS Of short spaces incor-
porated in their making so that, at
one point they will be quite short
while at exactly the opposite points
they will fairly be trailing on the
ground,
Many of the fall dresses will be
made up on combination of two ma
terials, say, velvet and silk, or velvet
and wool or silk and wool or silk and
fur fabric, or velvet and real fur
When this is the case there will be
little or no eXtraneous trimming and
the contrast Of the two fabrics will be
used to develop the trimming interest
of the gown.
Waistlines will be long-well over
the hips-and they will at that point
be adorned with trimmings of beads
or twisted ribbons or velvets made into
rolls or any other sash material which
happens to harmonic with the general
interests of the gown itself.
The neckline will, in all cases, be as
plain as possible, the batteau line be-
ing the one which is most favored
from among them all. At this point
there will be absolutely no trimming
but the line of the gown left entirely
plain will be left to hold the hOnors
for the costume at that point.
Sleeves will be wide and long. They
will be embroidered heavily and often
the embroidery applied at this point
Will be the only sign Of trimming in
that direction. There will be the
whole plain gown which is embroid-
cred in many startling and vivid colors
over the sleeve ends and which will
have the rest of its surface nothing
but plain color and chaste line to
make 1t famous.
Girdles and sashes will be very much

Cost of Living

movies. This IS $40 apiece for every
man, woman and child in the nation.
These instances could be multiplied
almost endlessly. The country is flood
ed with novelties in the way Of new
foods, new sorts of wearing apparel,
new amusements and a thousand and
one other new things totally unknown
to and unused by the man of only one
generation ago.
What Automobiles Cost.
Perhaps the single biggest addition
to the cost of living is the automobile.
Not so many years ago the horseless
carriage was curiosity regarded as
practical only by Missionaries. Today
every tenth person in the United
States has one This means that every
second family has one. A low average
cost of running an automobile is 81 a
day. This means that the American
people spend $10,000O00 a day for
automobile upkeep. as there are 1o,-
100000 automobiles. This amounts
to $3.50, 100000 a year, admittedly a
conservative figure.
A fair average price for an automo-
bile is $1,000 and an automobile will
last, on an average, five years. Then,
if $1,000 car lasts five years, it
costs $500 a year, in addition to the
upkeep. There are 100000 cars in
use. This makes $2,000,O00,000 a year.
What the economists point out Is
that the American standard of living
is so high that it misleadS many peo-
pie. Our people spend a lot but they
get a lot. Recently two Scandinavian
born Americans met One had been
to his old home and was telling the
other of the good fortune that had

befaIien one of their rlutual friends.
He said that the man had become rich.
He had done so well, the man eN-
planned, that he had bought himself
bicycle!
There is q concrete example of what
Is meant by saying that the cost of
living has not increased in America
so much as the scale Of living has in
creased. Americans have more than
any other people in the world; they
are surrounded with bewildering
variety of goods, most of which are
within reach of the comparatively
deep purses of the wage workers. 1t
is an old adage that he who pays the
piper is entitled to call the tune.
Americans call an expensive tune.

PROBLEM SUBJECT OF STUDY
Prices Have Not Risen so Much as the
Number of Commodities Regarded
as Necessities Has Null
tplied.

Washington, d. C.-Nearly all the
strikes in recent years have been to
obtain higher wages or to prevent the
reduction of existing wages. In some
strikes only issues involving hours OF
labor and other working conditions
have been involved, but, generally
speaking, the strikes have been wage
strikes.
Since prices of commodities started
to go up with the outbreak of the
European war especial stress has been
laid on the elements of the cost OF
living as the principal argument for
wage Increases or for retention, rather
than reduction, of established wage
scales.
This has led to special studies of
the problem of the cost of living. One
fact established is that prices have
not risen so much as the number OF
commodities regarded as necessities
has multiplied In truth, the prices
of some staples are substantially low
er than they were years ago. Further
many commodities are within the
range of comparatively low-Waged
workers which, because Of rarity or
high price, were formerly wholly out
of their reach. The net result of the
study Is that the whole question OF
the cost of living is relative.
Exact Comparisons Can't Be Made.
There is scarcely any one who does
not agree that the people should have
the additional things which they enjoy
under modern conditions, but there is
q desire to emphasize that exact COM
PARSONS cannot be made and that to
say that the cost of living has in
creased is not wholly fair. The more
precise statement is that the cost OF
modern living has increased.
Take the single item Of ice cream.
Formerly it was altogether a luxury.
Today, every urchin on the streets
has an ice cream cone daily and some
times several a day.
Every American city spends several
thousand dollars a day for ice cream.
This is an entirely new addition to the
cost of living, and it may be pointed
out that it is not fair to call this an
increase in the cost of living. 1t
merely is an addition to the cost Of
living. If a given city spends $4,000
a day for ice cream the citizens Of
that city have added $4,000 day to
their cost of living by making this ex-
penditure. This is an addition, not an
increase, in the cost of living of $780,
., 600 a week; s1O,92O,O00 a year. We
spend, in addition, S1,000,0O0 a day
for ice, a comparatively modern con-
venience.
Another immediate comparison is
the motion picture show. Two dec
AIDES ago movies were scarce. few
were operating, but the universal ad-
mission charge was 5 cents. Today
the American public spends approx
mately s1,OOO,OOO,OO0 a year on the

Slip Of Knitted Silk.

For the woman who is not satisfied
with either a silk or nainsook cos
tune slip there Is now the costume
slip of knitted silk or silk fiber. 1t Is
ideal for wear on cool day beneath
a diaphanous gown. A knitted silk
slip in orange, for example, is lovely
beneath a gown Of cocoa georgette, or
a slip Of ocean green beneath smoke
gray.

phase to the smart black and white
styles. \ gown Of black crepe satin

knitted bodice and rounded neck. The

and cut, depended for originality upon

material. The coat, with Il high turn
