George E. Roberts, in the National

"As between the farmers and wage
earners, a rise of wages without any
corresponding rise in the prices of
farm products means that to the ex-
tent that TIE wage-earners consume
each others products they pay for
the rise themselves, while in the case
of the farmer as a normal consumer,
his purchases will be reduced and the
falling off will effect the industries

classes except the particular wage

Yet it's sister frock, which is fash
toned with long sleeves and a Bern
hardt collar that flares over the. chin,
can serve only in daylight hours. 1t
is edged with gray fur to give touch
of medievalism. The circular skirt
is gathered to O long bodice. which
fits the hips like yoke. More me-
dieyalism.
BY the way, it is well to emphasize
this new adjustment of fabric to the
figure. which was brought about by
the introduction of the hip yoke
over year ago. At that time it
was merely straw flying before the
wind. Now 1t is in an accepted fash
ion. It's advent was necessary to
protect the lines of the figure from
disaster when full skirts came into
fashion.
Box pleating is revived in the mid
winter modes and no woman wants
to put such bulk of material over
the upper part of the hips, nor does
she wish to gather a five-yard skirt
to a belt at the waist line; therefore
the necessity for the hip yoke is ap
parent. She hangs the weight and
fullness of new skirts to that tight,
shapely piece of material that holds
her figure smoothly just where it
needs to be held.
But back to midseason fabrics.
There is another effort to reinstate
taffeta for general wear because OF
it's success in the spreading
robes worn in the evening, the kind
that carry a pointed Louis XVI bodice
or a long straight italian bodice
lar skirts permit of stiff fabrics the
dressmakers think, but grace is
achieved when width is used in cling
ing weaves.
Medieval frocks for evening OF
mauve, lichen green, topaz yellow,
will continue, and taffeta will be
needed for them, but a woman should
think well before she consents to
put a goodly sum of money into a
street frock or suit of stiff silk.
The advent of wash flannel, plain
or striped. into sport clothes is signi-
ficant, for it means we will wear
the fabric when the weather permits.
1t may be chosen for the city streets,
but the chances are that it will be
confined to the country. Cotton
crepes, patterned with Chinese and
Persian figures, or unnatural flowers
will be introduced again and taken
up by women who are unafraid of
large figurations spread over their
bodies.

Gus. show that this particular fashion
Is established.
1t Is certain that dressmakers are
doing their best to revive blue serge,
which once upon a time appeared
with the tulips and jonquils It's
companion in those days was the
turban of small flowers. Both were
harbingers of spring. The two should
have been printed on the calendar,
for their appearance was in keeping
with the rotation. of the earth around
the sun.
Women wearied of the flower tur-
ban first. Later they discarded blue
serge. Satin took the place of the
former, crepe de chine the place of
the latter. Suits of blue serge gave
way to suits of wool spoplin, and
crepe de chine one-piece frocks were
not only popular, but important.
No matter what a woman started
out to buy in a shop or order from
the dressmaker, she ended by run
ming with the tide in the purchase
Of crepe. She liked the persuasive
argument that Crepe" serves all sea-
sons" When she asked for blue
serge last autumn she was offered
yelours de laine or kasha cloth, with
the assurance that 1T was the FASH
ion" A powerful phrase, thatI FIRE.
Quency has not made it lose it's ap-
peal. 1t strikes like a hammer into
the mind of the woman who is un-
certain what she wants.

TRULY velours and kasha are the
i fashion. They serve the need
whenever one wants frock that has
protective warmth. They are not as
fashionable as velvet, but they are
less perishable. Black velours de
laine trimmed with white fur and
touched up with pleatings of white
net; II one likes the new fashion for
such frivolity, makes one of the i'm
portant frocks. 1t is worn into the
exclusive places where one expects
velvet. Black kasha put into a short
jacket and circular skirt fitted to a
tight hip yoke has a deep facing of
fitch with a chin-high collar and a
miniature muff.
Against these winter fashions serge
looks commonplace. but dressmakers
are more confident than the public
when they insist upon it's revival.
Rarely do they ask us to wear it
alone. They combine it with Persian
patterned foulard in spring frocks
that have more dash than plain blue
serge ever achieved.
Curiously enough. the new clothes
for spring, launched in January for
those who go south, show a decided
tendency to reinstate the cape. A
dozen or more new models, sponsored
by the best houses, show the kind OF
cape Sir Walter Raleigh threw in the
mud. 1t is circular. it is placed
across the shoulders and hangs to
