SKIRTS FULLER AND HIGHER, WITH SLEEVES
 THAT REVEAL THE SKIN YOU LOVE TO
 TOUCH" IS THE LATEST STYLE DECREE

cording to word that has leaked out from the shops of the modistes who are working overtime to complete their models for the exhibition. But it is to be an elaborate simplicity" Mime. Gisela Bennati, widely known Chicago designer who is building a trousseau (and by "trous- seau" is not meant a brides outfit, but a wardrobe for milady's wear around the clock'') explains this by saying that the basic principals of the costumes will be simple in the extreme, while the effect of elabor- ateness will be achieved in the color ings of the fabrics used and the trim mings, which promise to be richer and more gorgeous than ever before. Mme. Bennati has original ideas in costuming. She refuses to be governed by any hide-bound set rules of fashion, insisting on taking the models and adopting them to the individuality of the wearers into the gowns she creates.
 otherwise my label will not go into the gowns she says-and a label carries unqualified endorse ment of the creation.
 She has word to say on Paris as the style center of the world.
 Paris always will be style cen ter," she added. That is, Paris will continue to send our models, but it is up to us to take them or to leave them as we see fit. By that time I mean we can take them and adapt them to American use

CHICAGO, H., Apr. 23.-Skirts full ler--and higher.
 Sleeves that reveal "the skin you love to touch"
 Waist lines, sometimes high sometimes low, but always most de cided, except in rare instances.
 Elaborate simplicity" with dis tinct trend toward feminine.
 Color combination that pale into significance the traditional glory of the strutting pea fowl.
 All this apropos of the semi-annual fashion show of the Fashion Art League which is to hold forth at the Congress hotel, Chicago, for three days this month in an exhibi tion wherein milady who keeps abreast of the styles-and where is there one who doesn't-may learn exactly what she is expected to wear every hour of the 24
 Gathered here for the three-day style feat-the dates are Apr. 16, IF and 18th-will be leading modistes from Chicago, New York, Cleveland Detroit and other populous centers With them they will bring the cream of the output from their local work shops-feminine fnery which in the aggregate will have monetary value exceeding s1O0,OOO. Arrange ments to take out blanket insur ance policy in that amount to cover the three days of the meeting have already been made.
 Simplicity is to be the dominant note of the fashions this season, ac

ever. and succeeding. too, is to de. velop distinctly American styles" That, incidentally, is one of the main objectives of the Fashion Art League-to develop American styles for Americans use.
 As an after effect of the great war, Mme. Bennati explained, styles showed distinct trend toward the masculine, but now they have begun an equally distinct trend toward the feminine.
 This is indicated in the fuller skirts, the wealth of ornamentatior and especially in the return oi sleeves.
 These latter are to be long-very | long-but of filmy stuff that will reveal and not conceal-often with open spaces along their length-but all very long and very full. | That doesn't mean that all cos tunes are to have sleeves.
 II wouldn't want to go shopping in sleeveless gown" said Mme Benpati, nor would I care to at tend a formal dinner party with my arms encased in tight sleeves.
 Sleeves will be worn where com mon sense, and the occasion de mands them, and sleeveless even ing gowns will still be held in high favor.
 Fabric makers and not design CTS set the fashions, it also was learned, but this, too, has to be taken withs pinch of salt, as il were.
 Designers and fabric makers work together-but until the fabric mak- CTS turn out their products, de. signers are at loss as to how to proceed.
 Designers must be adopted to the material in which they are to be turned out, so in a way fabric mak- CTS really set the styles.
 This year the fabrics are to be sheer and filmy and gaily colored. Pastel shades will be favored, but again there is no hard, fast rule to guide. Most anything will go, pro vided the colors harmonize, provided it's elaborately ornamented, and pro- vided-last but by no means least- that it fits the individuality of the wearer
 The meeting of the modistes here is to cover three days. The first will be given over to get together meeting and the second will be taken up with discussions and general ex- changes of ideas.
 The big event will come on the third day-when mannequins will parade in the gowns that have been created for the exhibition here.
 More than 150 of the most beau tiful girls from Chicago and New York-and that means the most beautiful girls in the world will take part in the parade. Each model will wear from four to six costumes and, it is estimated, the cost of the various gowns will av- craze about s25O apiece.

FIGHTING OUR NATURAL
ENEMIES

The obligation yet rests on man
ITO keep the faith. to fight 1t
through, but it is not part Of that
obligation that he must fight with
his brothers. In point of fact they
and he together are all needed in the
fight for life and sustenance, the
fight against germs and insect pests.
One brand of philosophy approves
of fleas on a dog as contributors to
it's mental equilibrium; and is 1t not
possible that but for germs and pests
man would not be put to 1t in keep
ing himself fit.. There is no occasion.
anyhow, for man to be discouraged,
and he's getting up a very service
able muscle in the process.
1t is gratifying to note that man Is
undaunted by any or all Of these OBJ
stacles, in fact they afford to some
a livelihood and other emoluments.
Our national agricultural "sharps"
are undertaking in this region inves-
tigation Of ways to control the white
pine weevil. Private individuals are
contributing to this. The amount
received from these sources alone
amounts to s2500 year for the next
two years. This insect that causes
destruction Of terminal shoots OF
young pine trees and seriously inter-
feres with the growing Of white pine
throughout the eastern range is to
be hunted to its lair. Entomologists,
also, are on the trail Of. the larch fly
that half century ago nearly ex-
terminated mature larch in the
northeastern States, and is again at
it's mischief. And while they are
about it the bugologists are inquisi-
tive respecting blight on the chestnut
trees. This is not Of so much con-
Germ to Maine, but the damage to the
growing Of a very valuable timber In
parts of New England and the Mid
die Atlantic States has become seri-
Gus.
The moro of attention we give to
fighting these enemies and the less
to fighting each other the better our
prospects. We ought to be able to
develop in fighting our natural enes
mics by mutual effort all the manly
qualities, produced by contest, re-
quired for our welfare.

VERY SUGGESTIVE

The need of an attractive booklet
telling some of the things we would
like the people of other States to
know about Maine. facts about which
many of those out of Maine would
like to know. has long been apprecl-
ated by. those who have received in
quiries or have observed the success
that has attended similar efforts on
the part of other States.
We are reminded Of this by the
attractive pamphlet containing the
report of Names Publicity Bureau.
Not that this would be of interest
to outsiders as to Maine folks inter-
ested in the details of the work this
excellent Bureau is doing. 1t Is very
suggestive: it reminds US that Maine
has competitors, that none of them
have quite such attractions as we
possess, but about which millions of
people in this land are really unin-
formed.
How many Of them know, for in
stance, that Maine has one half the
tidal mileage from Maine to Florida,
24GS miles Of seashore, with noun
tains whose feet are washed by the
waves. and others in the background
overlooking the fascinating display
Of thousands of Names bewitching
jewels, lakes in their evergreen set
ting?
Secretary Coe has a happy knacll
of combining statistics with informa-
ton inviting the attention of those
who do not care to read dry data.
His report is more than a suggestion
of what Maine should do to dissent
nate information respecting it's in
comparable attractions. which many
of us have seen for so long we for
get they are among the most attrac-
tive to. be found in all the wide
world.

THE MODERN MAY DAY

We are not hearing so much about
May Day riots abroad and strikes at
home. Those disturbances were a
sad substitute for the old-time May
Day activities, May-poles and queens
Of the May. 1t almost seemed that
somewhere people had lost the gift
of simple mirth and merriment and
laughter.
One rejoices in the noticeable
change. Not that we are getting
back to the old-time merry-making,
but that the destructive mood is
passing and we are taking kindly
thought of others, are making plans
for the health Of children. for max
ing up a bundle for the Near East
Relief, for construction, helpful un-
dertakings.
Governor Brewster has endorsed
the campaign in this State to collect
old clothing for the Near East camps
next winter. Over million pieces
Of clothing were collected In this
country last year for this relief work
and May 1 this campaign starts in
Maine. 1t is fitting day on which,
to begin, whether for relief Of the
Near East or for seeing to it that the
health Of the child shall be empha-
sized and receive practical attention
and clearer understanding.
Leaders in organized welfare work
have caught the spirit of the change,
Among our home folks are the Ro-
tarians intent on giving youth a holi-
day beside which the ancient May
pole dance would scarcely invite at
tention. Advertisers have been quick
to note the change. Those. who pre-
pare foods. write columns about the
kind Of food children should eat and
il they succeed in convincing the
public that. suitable nourishment for
the child has very much to do with
the future welfare OF people they will
have wrought better perhaps than
they knew.

"Will you surely have it ready by
the first?" asked Bobbie Redvest,
anxiously.
"As sure as Monday follows Sum-
day and the bills come in on the first
Of the month";" answered the funny
old bear, with wink. Don't worry.
I'll have the pole set up in plenty of
time to dance around it on the first

MONEY AND IDEAS

Money was made, not to command
our will,
But all our lawful pleasures to full
fill"
And it has been said that from ig-
norance cur comfort flows; all of
which may or may not. according to
viewpoint, have to do with this: "If
16 persons give each dollar to 1G
other persons there will be but SIG In
the end. but if 16 persons each give
ideas to 16 persons there will finally
pe 81 persons each having an idea"
Anyhow this seems worth. thinking
over, worthy Of consideration re-
specting the nature of the ideas and
worthy of conclusion that under
certain conditions the dissemination
of ideas is more important to COM
munity welfare than is the dissent
nation of dollars. 1t also is occasion
for doubt whether money all our law
full pleasures may fulfill.

RUM RISKS

There may be better feeling among
the stockholders in Sir Broderick
HartwelPs smuggling corporation II
/ they do not read the American news.
The London Daily Mail prints an in
terview with Sir Broderick from
which it appears he would have them
understand that he has lost every
thing. that they may sue him, but
he has nothing. and If anything may
be saved to them 1t must be done by
him: that Of $1,000 cases in a ship
ment to Rum Row more than $4,000
were seized. about 5000 were sold the
proceeds being spent on the expedi-
tion. while it is doubtful whether the
remainder may be sold "the risk Of
seizures being very great
From this one turns to charges of
bootlegging and counter charges. On
Tuesday U. S. Attorney, Harold p
Williams Of Boston, Is quoted as say
ing there is no hope Of making
America dry as long as money con-
tinues to flow from bootleg fleets in
to the pockets OF officials ashore.
Again, the women's division of the
Massachusetts Anti-Saloon League
has been making survey of meth
DDS employed in Massachusetts, for
dispensing justice to bootieggers.
Here is sample of the survey:
"A convicted bootlegger, rumrun-
ner. or moonshiner in Maiden takes
only one chance in 46 Of going to
jail; In Taunton. one chance in As;
IN East Boston. one chance in 43; in
chelsea. one chance in 20; in WAL
tham, one chance in 15: in Somerville
one chance in II: in Haverhill. one
chance in 10; in Quincy, one chance
IN D; in Worcester, one chance in +.
and In Plymouth, no chance in 12."
From all this it is possible to con-
clude that Sir Broderick should issue
more stock and so acquire a corrup-
tlon fund with which to continue on
erations. But one better not be too
nasty with conclusions. If we but
consider what we know. refresh our
reductions a little, we will hardly
escape the conclusion that those who
are disinclined to saturate them
serves with rank poison are finding
IL harder and harder to exchange
.helr dollars for stuff they consider
NJ to drink; that home brewers have
iose the incentive Of novelty in pre-
paring concoctions; that people gem
orally are too busy to bother with
coping themselves under conditions
lar from exhilirating. And never
was there thicker coating of slime
on the rum traffic than there is to-
day.
