SUCH essential things as suits, and
^ other clothes for the street, are
launched by their manufacturers long
before the season for their wearing
is at hand. This must be done so that
merchants may buy them a little in
advance of the time when they are
needed. September finds the public
interested and October finds them buy
ing very briskly their practical clothes
for general wear and there is consid
erable business earlier, for outfitting
young women who are going away to
school.
It is for the benefit of such fortu
nate young persons that the very at
tractive suit shown in the illustration
is offered for consideration in August.
It is one of many attractive creations
that are specially well adapted to the
lines of youthful figures. Drawing
such conclusions as may be gathered
this early in the season, skirts are
to vary considerably in width, the ex
^ tremely narrow ones not appealing to
people of the best judgment and there
are really not any models that can
be called severe in line among the new
coats. Skirts may be plain or plaited.
Coats are a matter for rejoicing, hav
ing those vague outlines that are
called “easy” and are particularly
smart. There is a great variety in
them and in sleeves, which may grow
less as the season grows older. It
all depends upon the appeal of the sev
eral styles to the public.
One cannot go wrong in the selection
of a suit like that one shown in the
picture. It has a straight skirt in a
conservative length and just wide
enough for comfortable walking. The
coat is straight with narrow belt con
fining it at the waist and there are
very long ends at the front, finished
with tassels. It reveals the persist
ence of embroidery and embroidered
effects in styles for fall and indications
are that this vogue has not reached
the crest of the wave in its popular
ity. The collar merits special atten
tion, being a mixture of styles and
a novelty. It is so arranged that it
can be thrown about the throat like
a short scarf and is prettily finished
with flat tassels. Buttons secure it in
the position shown by the picture.
A Sign of the Times in Germany
Times have changed, and in Ger
many as elsewhere. Here’s a change
that has set Berlin talking. Printed
in the old style it would read:
“Princess Alexandra Victoria,
daughter of Prince Frederick, duke of
Schleswig-Holstein, has been divorced
by Prince August William of Hohen
% zollern, fourth son of the kaiser, and
has eloped with Fritz Meyer, her
chauffeur.”
Anyway Frau Meyer, the princess
that was, is now on a honeymoon.
; “I’d rather be the loved wife of a
chauffeur than the unloved wife of a
royal prince,” she tells her friends.
Her ex-husband’s comment was ,
the bland announcement royalty is !
well rid of his quondam spouse. But j
the people of Berlin are still gasping j
frmn thp shock of the affair. \
At the time Prince August Wil
liam brought his suit for divorce from
the charming, beautiful and reputedly
extravagant princess he charged she had fallen in love with ail officer ol
“common tastes and democratic name.”
Fritz Meyer, before the war, was a snappy figure in the ex-kaiser’s livery.
Later he was a lieutenant in the German Officer’s Reserve corps. It is under
stood that the romance with Princess Victoria had its inception while he was
still the pilot of one of the royal motor cars.
Victoria is a statuesque blonde of large figure and with reddish hair and
complexion. She radiates vigor, health and activity.

Wanted: Building of More Houses |
Senator Carder of New York is r
chairman of the United States senate
committee on reconstruction and pro
duction which is making an inquiry
into the unsatisfactory conditions
of tlie construction industry. The
committee recently opened headquar
ters in New York and began hearings. ^
Next on the program was a visit to
Chicago, with probable hearings also
in Minneapolis and Kansas City.
In Chicago, for example, it is esti
mated that there is a shortage of 100,
000 houses and that thousands of
building trades employees are out of
employment because of inability to
get construction materials.
These preliminary conferences
have developed the fact that imme
diate relief for the construction in- 9
dustry must come through improved 9
transportation facilities, and Senator f
Calder urged the interstate commerce |
commission to permit the building in- *"
lerests ot me country to present men loot nx mi ui/cu ‘>huih6, ^cxm^
commis’sion came to a decision on matters of freight rates and preferential
shipments.
