FOLK
NEW YORK. April 10—One cnnnot
get away from the stripes, and as a
matter of fact one would not care to
get away from them. For a very
considerable percentage of the very
prettiest models show striped mater
ials. Usually more or less plain
colors are used In combinations with
the stripes, but often there Is only a
mere touch of the plain material.
Fashionable designers, when oppor
tunity offers, like to break the line
of the full flaring skirt by a touch of
I draping, and clever manipulation of
this kind affords variety to the unde
niable monotony of the prevailing
skirt lines. It is this felling, doubt
less, that has somewhat, to every
body's surprise, preserved the tunic
for us—a tunic longer than ever, as a
rule—and often revealing the under
skirt only nt one point, though there
are tunics showing a comparatively
narrow underskirt all the way round.
In materials there are many attrac
tive rough stuffs, as well as smooth
cloths. Tweeds, Frieze, etc., are,
as always, popular for hard wear and
sport coats. Black and white cheeks
of all kinds, from the pin-head check
of finest weight worsted to inch square
checks of rough cheviot are used by
the coat makers, and broken checks
and plaid in other colorings, prefer
ably browns, are liked.
There are good dark blue coats
and some extremely good looking
loosely woven rough models in blue
soldat, in Belgian blue, and in a soft,
warm blue that succeeds in being
clear and bright, yet soft and compar
atively deep.
Speaking of the soldat blue, the
army coats of various types have in
m
fluenced topcoats greatly, and while
actual military details of strapping,
braiding, etc., are not smiled upon by
most authoritative designers, the
loosely belted lines of many of the
new coats are reminiscent of things
military.
Although there are many indica
tions of the military influences in the
new suits, yet too great elaboration of
buttons and braid has been delicately
avoided. Frequently a dainty pat
tern of embroidery in threads of gold
takes the place of heavy braiding.
Certain suits, designed more especial
ly for the older women, show the
braiding, which is a good decoration
for the severely tailored, long sleeved
coat.
While the plainer styles are designed
with long sleeves, the dressier suit
for afternoon wear are shown with
those that are three-quarter length—
lengthened, perchanpe, py novel
cufTs or undersleeves of dainty mater
ial.
Gay splashes of color are found in
the vests that not infrequently com
plete the smart suit. Another novel
idea that lends a new tone to some
of the suits, is the scolloped outline.
Of course the scolloped hem is not un
usual, but when the trim lines of the
jacket give place to serrated edges
that recall the beautiful outline of the
dandelion leaf one rejoices in the dis
covery of another new feature.
Blouses for summer and late spring
will appear in crepe de chine, Geor
gette crepe, satin, linen, voile, ba
tiste and lawn much in favor, partic
ularly In those waists which are tail
ored and without fullness. Lace
*
blouses and printed chiffons are con
sidered correct for afternoon wear.
Paris sanctions collarless daytime
bodices; also makes an ocasional
low model low or round or shallow and
oval, or shallow and pointed, or fin
ished in very simple fashion, with
frill, or ruche, or flat collar, or little
inside fichu of net. And the small
square is well liked, either with or
without a standing collar at the back.
If a high collar it must be, let it
be a high, straight simple stock that
can't get badly out of order.
Although one hears constant talk
of the normal waste line, short wois
ted drosses of the Victorian period
are very much in favor, and are the
prevailing stylo in u!J the shops for
evening wear. These little short
waisted dresses are generally com
bined with tiers of frills. Petticoats
worn with these dresses should be per
manently attached to the dresses and
peep audaciously beneath the hem.
Youth Is not the only ono served by
this style, anyijue with an upright,
petite figure will look to advantage
in a dress of this silhouette.
Taffeta la Ideal for a dance frock
for end of the aeason dances, being
of sufficient lightness and outstanding
crispness to be a pleasing contrast
to the velvet and clinging materials
of the winter. The new taffetas are
of the stiff variety and not of the soft
weaves, ta which taffeta silk wm
first made.

BIG IRRIGATION
PLAN FOR KANSAS
TOPEKA, April 10—If a plan that It
is hoped to have the legislature pass
upon at the present session proves
successful, Kansas will have a 1,500
mile irrigation river. The stream will
run through Western Kansas. Okla
homa. Texas, Nebraska and South Da
kota. Representative J. C. Cooper,
of NeBs County Is the father of the
bill. The canal would be fed by a
aeries of dams across draws, In which
the surplus rains falling In the win
ter months, could be saved until sum
mer. If the legislature acts favor
ably, it will ask congress to endorse
the project.
FEAR INFLUENCE OF
WOMEN UNIONISTS
GLASGOW, April 10—Throughout
Scotland the fear of trade unions of
women getting, because of the war, a
footing In industries which hitherto
have not admitted them, is taking on
serious proportions. The basis of
the men’s fear is :at once In, it will
be difficult to dislodge the women, and
that they will pull down the wages of
men engaged In similar work. The
engineering employers of this city are
desirous of Introducing women in cer
tain forms of machine work, but the
Amalgamated Society of Engineers
objects, and the matter has been
dropped for the present, at least.
MANY WOMEN SEEK
SERVICE IN ARMY
PETROGRAD. April 10—'The cele
brated singer, Mdme. Pletitskara, who
is serving as a military scout at the
front with the troops, will be honored
by the Czar, it is stated, on the occa
sion of her birthday, which comes
very Boon. During the past fort
night an unusually large number of
women have asked to be permitted
to enlist as volunteers in the army.

BLAMES THE WAR FOR
ACCUMULATED MAIL
Almost everything that goes wrong
nowadays Is blamed to the war In
Europe. The high cost of living, the
hard times and most things that do
not suit us are attributed to be Indi
rectly due to the great European con
flict. However, with the exception
of the way the fur market has gone
to pieces, the people of Interior Alas
ka have had little to complain of,
though now a new Idea Is presented
which shows that the war Is affect
ing us In a new way, and that is in
regnrd to our mail service.
The reason that the government
refused to send to Fairbanks the de
layed mail at Cordova is said to be
due to the efforts of the United States
lo economize since the war has stop
ped much of the national revenues
Some time ago postmasters In Alaska
received n circular letter In which It
was explained that reductions In ex
penses must be made wherever pos
sible, on account of the financial con
dition of the country. Then came
the news, early last week, of the re
fusal of the government to send us
our over-due mall, and the deduction
is that the war is the cause.-—Fair

BIG FULLING OFF OF
THEWHISKEYOUTPUT
Who is going to explain the marked
falling off in the output of whiskey
from the three principal distilling
states of the country?
In Kentucky the production for
January of this year was 1,980,000
gallons, as ngainst fi,102,000 gallons
in January, 1914. For the same month
this year Pennsylvania half a million
gallons less than in January 1914,
and the whiskey output for Maryland
dropped off 400,000 gallons.
Good news or bad news according
to the point of view. Prohibition is
elated and claims that its efforts
have caused a decline in the demand
for whiskey. Producers pooh-pooh
the idea, and say that the war and
business conditions are to blame.
Comparison of figures for the past
two fiscal years ending June 30, show
a progressive decrease in the amount
of whiskey distilled in each of these
states mentioned. It would be rash
to assert that Americans were less
fond of whiskey and more v drawn
toward alcohol in other forms. Isn’t
it just possible that the country is

WAR CAUSES LOSS
IN PANAMA TOLLS
Washington, April 10—Figures re
ceived by government officials here
show that the losses of the Panama
Canal in tolls on account of the war
are $7,865,373. That Is to say, the
foreign traffic is 234 per cent less
than it would have been but for the
war. The United States has also
lost a $500,000,000 export trade to
Germany.
