THE MAIDEN MILITARY;
PURE FEMININITY A CHARM
Potential Weapons in the Hands of Womankind A
Man Likes to Be Noticed, but a
Woman to Be Admired
By ELLEN ADAIR
THE war certainly has brought About
ene change that la not entirely wel
come, and that l the "mllltarU'ng" par
ton lh wordl of woman's dress. Why on
earth girls should want to
make themselves look as
much like the men as
, possible seems a mystery
but such Is the case.
With hair brushed back
in approved military
style, abbreviated skirts
displaying, mannish boots,
and coals or a manly and
even warrior cut, they
swing along, even the
striae, which but a year ago, owing to
tight skirts, was so mincing and femin
ize, now the long, swinging gait of a
soldier on the march)
When I was In London last month I
noticed a member ot the gentler sex
marching down Regent street, arrayed In
a. suit of khaki, her slim ankles I im
agined they were slim, though for the
moment they didn't look It clad In puttees
of tho same sandy huo as her suit. Her
hair was screwed unbecomingly Into a
cap of decidedly military cut and her
figure, had a curiously shapeless look be
neath the straight lines of the warrior
llke garment in which she was disporting
herself for the approval or condemna
tion of all and sundry.
On the subject of the wearing of put
tees by the fair sex, a man expressed
himself very decidedly. "That girls are
attempting In small ways to copy the
military fashions of men, we all know,"
he said, "and that sooner or later they
would attempt to copy them entirely we,
of course, suspected. But I don't think
we seriously thought that it would
actually get to the wearing of puttees I"
"Women, have either got an enormous
admiration for our sex In that they are
always trying to copy us in everything,
or else they are extraordinarily tired ot
their own. What la more, the love of
the blzzare seems to appeal so much more
to women than to men."

NAVY BLUE SCHOOL SUIT
WITH YOUTHFUL TRIMMINGS
TUB schoolgirl needs a
practical tailored suit first
of all when she equips herself
for boarding school or college.
If she Is going to a warm cli
mate, the light serge or gabar
dine cloths shown for fall suit
ings will prove none too warm
when tho winter proper comes
along. Beside this a fall suit
will serve admirably as a "sec
ond best" costume for early
spring, when the styles are un
formed and discouraging.
Colorings for fall costumes 5
are attractively varied. Includ
ing such new shades as plum,
wistaria, various military blues
and the always serviceable
navy shade. This latter, by
the way. Is the best for the
young girl's suit, las the violet
shades are too old for her and
the lighter shades of blue will
not give such good wear. An
other good thing to bo remem
bered is that a simple style
should be selected, as nothing
looks quite so dllaDldated as
iflded trimmings, braidings.

careful habits.

Is buttoned by bone buttons all
the way up to the collar, and
the pockets at either side of
the coat are put on In a direct
line, instead of patched as In
former models. The skirt Is a
plain circular model, with no
trimming.

WOMEN WORKERS WHO
NEVER REST WHILE
SERVING THE WAR GOD
Du Pont Village Down tho Del
aware the Scene of Never
Ending Toil for Wives
of Powder Makers
AN ALL-DAY SCHEDULE
Breakfast Three Times Every 24
Hours nnd Same- Number of
Dinners
Once upon a time a great big gooss
laid a great big egg, and most persons
think It was an easy matter for the
farmer to go out and pick up that egg.
But If the story could be given a back
ground of facts you would find the farm
er's wife watching that gooso day after
day, mixing gpeclal food for her lady
ship, currying her feathers, putting her
to bed at night and when the time came
leading her subtly to a spot worthy of
a golden egg. Then the farmer went out,
picked It up and he and the gooso have
come down In history.
So It goes on. There's a parallel down
at tho du Pont powder mills at Penns
grove. Every one has read of tfne
myriads of men flocking there for "work,
and who thinks of the wives uprooted
and replanted there? Men are limited
by law to an eight-hour day, but the
law knows no housewives and tho women
work three shifts a day. This Is a sam
plo day of tho average woman In du
Pont village
"l'e got to feed eight men, my hus
band, three sons and four boarders,"
said this typical fagged-out-looklnc
American worker, her hair pulled back
tight and screwed together in a knot that
slipped up and down as she talked. "The
company knows Just how many rooms
you have and they want every room
filled up or they'll come round to see
you. I work much harder than my hus
band does, but then I guess 1 make al
most twice as much as he docs, too. How
would you like my Job? I dish up break
fast three times n day and dinner throe
times a day. It's like this: This week my
husband and two of my sons work from
7 in the mornlnc until 3 In the-attcrnoon.
two of the boarders and my third son
from 3 In the afternoon until 11 at night
and tho rest of tho boarders from 11 at
night until 7 In the morning. Neither
tho machinery nor myself gets any rest.
ALL-DAY SCHEDULE.
"This Is my schedule: I get up at 5:30
for the first breakfast at 6 a. m. for the
shift that works from 7 In the morning
to 3. At S tho boys on the U-to-7 shift
come home and they want their dinner.
Think of dinner at 8 o'clock!
"In tho morning I tidy up wherever
there's nobody asleep. At two In the
afternoon breakfast Is dished up for the
C-to-11 shift, about four tho 7-to-3 boys
como hame for dinner. At nine I give
the 7-to-ll gang breakfast, and at 12 mid-'
night the 3-to-ll crew their dinner.
Uvery man gets a breakfast when he
gets up and a dinner when ho's finished
work. Can you see me setting myyelf
down In a rocking chair? Sometimes I'm
so tired I don't know whether I'm dish
ing up dinner or breakfast. Some folks
Just serve a meal In the middle of the
day, and them that will, call It breakfast,
and them that won't call It dinner. But
I ain't that kind. I get (7 a week from
my boys and I feed them good. And I
forgot to tell you that between times I
put up eight lunch boxes a day, and last
week I preserved cantaloupe and tomor
row I'm going to put up two baskets of
tcmatoes. We'ro all mighty busy, we
nln t no ladies here.
HABD-WOnKING BEDS.
"I only have three boarders In a room.
I don't know any of the families around
here, but In the third house from the cor
ner on the other side, the woman has
27 boarders in seven rooms, and one of
tho rooms Is a kitchen. You can see for
yourself It's only a one-story house. I'll
tell you how they do It. 'When one Bhlft
of men gets up to go to work, the shift
that has Just come off gets Into their
beds. And when tho second men get up,
tho third gang comes In and takes their
places. Them beds gets worked as hard
as us women.
"I'm not resting now, a'talklng to you.
I camo out here to see if they're bringing
my boy home. Today at noon the young
est boy brought homo his brother's dinner
poll nnd said: 'Mom, here's Luke's pall,
ho ain't coming yet: he's In the hos
pital.' Just like that. Boy's got no
heart. The hospital Is In du Font's
ground, and nobody con get by the gate.
Last week Pop was singed, Three men
working with him were burned and died,
but only tho back of him was hurt. And
I stood at the gate by the hospital a cry
ing. Ain't It awful waiting?
REAL AMERICANS.
"Would you like to see mv house? Our
living rpom Is about 18 by 10, and there's
a dining room and kitchen on this floor,
and -we have three bedrooms on the next
floor. We aren't crowded but we are
well tilled ud.
"Have you ever seen a photograph as
old as this? I has an artist make a
charcoal portrait from a tintype. It was
taken in Chicago 90 years ago of my
great-great-grandmother, and they were
old people then. They left Ireland when
they were married. Isn't he funny In
his stovepipe hat nnd the wide brim?
And the way she clings to his arm!
i guess we're real Americans."
Everywhere the women were hustling.
Men lolled on the porches, but the wom
en were eternally fussing over their
gasoline stoves. And so It was at any
time of the day; men rested when their
work was done, but the women never
seemed to be through. All neurotlo ten
dencies were evidently combated success
fully by canning tomatoes, and nerves
plus temperament soothed by preserving
peaches.
Going back to the town In the after
noon the reporter met the afternoon
shift Jitneying Jauntily to work; for who
would walk In du Pont village when the
Jitney trucks take you down to the
works, two for five.
One energetic man stands out; he helped
the reporter to find the depot
war aorra working outfit.
"There, Miss, right ahead of you,
down, the street. I know It's there."
A lone baggage car on the trade was
visible.
"Hpnest It Is. Right on the other elde
of the car," the guide explained.
And leading the way around the car
he pointed to a one-room building, cud.
died down back of the car.
Such is the entrance to the workshops
of the war gods and their satellites, the
hard-working American women.

MANNISH MODE FOR MILADY
INCLUDES COAT, VEST AND SOCKS
Philadelphia Prepared to Resist the Last-Named
Change in Feminine Attire Decreed by "French
Brazilian" Now in Paris
THE mannish woman is preparing to
launch herself upon us more vigor
ously than ever, but Philadelphia Is pre
pared to resist her. She will snip a few
more Inches from her skirt, wear a thor
oughly masculine coat and vest and top It
off with a soft hat. But she will not stop,
there. In fact, sho hasn't stopped there,
according to a dispatch from Parle, for,
In addition to carrying out all the fore
going Ideas, Miss Masculine has donned
socks which leave her legs bare and pub
lic. Of course, the lay-down collar and four-in-hand
tie go with the costume. This
enables the wearer, to do away with the
handbag and the purse, for there are
pockets galore In which she can have all
the things that her feminity craves.
Some believe that the present Parisian
st5le, which Is now cropping out here and
there, is the result of the war. Women
are taking the places of imjn In many
things, and It seemed natural that they
snouia arm into men s clothes.
The fad Is also being followed In Lon
don by many women, who are not suf
fragists, and last week a woman In New
York appeared In one of the mannish
costume. She attracted no end of atten
tion, but no one sought to Interfere with
her constitutional rights in the matter,

this country It would mark a new era
In manufacturing. It would mean the
elimination of many of the feminine

from the affair, which begins tonight,
and will close Saturday night, will be
used for the purpose of establishing- a

The Ushere" Association, which Is com

ufacturing of cloth and other goods for
tho new attire.
It appears that the woman who gave
impetus to the new, masculine stylo was
not really a native of France. Reliable
reports say that It was Inaugurated by
Madame Luifere, a French Brazilian,
who contends that It is the proper and
modest dress for women.
Her picture here gives an Idea of tho
general effect. She wears this costumn
continually in the streets of Paris. Re
garding the socks, she says they are more
comfortable and cooler than stockings and
certainly Just as decent as the short
transparent skirt.
Madame Lulfere's breadth If view is
due largely to the fact that she Is an en
gineer in Brazil. In the course of her
work she was thrown chiefly in contact
with men nnd soon assimilated many of
tho Ideas of her fellow workers. Inci
dentally, Madame Luifere Is a graphic
writer and has sent many Interesting ac
counts of condition in Europe to this
country
It Is generally believed that in her do
sire to be comfortable she had no Intent
to bring about a general revival in tho
mannish costume.
I.ulgl Rienzi. an importer and ladles'
tailor, of 1711 Walnut street, said, in dl
cusslng the subject today, he did not be
llevo that the new costume would be
popular here. "A few extremists might
take It up," he said, "but It would be
very severe and would be unbecoming to
a large number of women."

THE problem of butfittlnff the girl who

time, either to boarding school or college,
confronts many a bewildered momer.
What clothing will she need and what
furnishings for her room?
Most schools and colleges send a list,
usually not very comprehensive, concern
ing the requisites for the room. A very
few boarding schools also furnish a list
of clothing, which. In these cases. Is of
tho simplest, no gin oeing auo '
have anything more or anything different
from another.
Since this point, however. Is In 99 cases
out of 100 left to the students themselves,
the question arises: What will she ncedt
And on this point the mother has no
cause to worry, aa the girl of average
means In the average college needs sim
pler clothing than at home.
OUTFIT FOR COLLEGE GIRL.
Here Is a very practical list, tried and
found sufficient:
Ono coat suit of winter weight, usually
beginning the collego year In September
with her spring suit of lighter weight.
One winter coat.
Two hats; one dressy one and one soft
"sports" hat.
Six shirtwaists.
Three Jumpers.
Ono extra, skirt of cloth.
Ono serge street or class dress.
The summer's supply of linen skirts and
dresses for early fall use.
Two or three simple gowns to wear to
dinner such things as summer dresses of
voile, lawn, net or silk.
One evening gown.
Ono sweater.
Raincoat.
Umbrella and rubbers.
Bathrobe.
Kimono.
Bedroom slippers.
One pair high ahoes, one pair pumps,
one pair evening slippers, and one pair
tennis shoes.
As for underclothing, this is largely an
individual matter. Hero is a suggestion:
One dark silk petticoat.
One light silk petticoat
Two white petticoats.
Four combination suits.
Two corsets.
Four undershirts or union suits. .
Six pairs cotton stockings.
Three pairs silk stockings.
Three nightgowns.
All colleges require that each piece ot
clothing, each towel, sheet and napkin
be marked wlthUhe owner's full name.
The simplest way to do this Is with the
woven names, which may be ordered at
department stores for J2 per 100.
FURNISHING HER ROOM.
As to the furnishing of the college girl's
room, the majority of colleges provide the
actual furniture and require only the
linens, etc., to be brought. Whero the
furniture Is not provided, a couch, rug,
bureau, desk, table, washstand, bookcase
and chairs are needed. Some colleges and
schools require each pupil to bring her
own table silver. In that case, a list Is
furnished. .
Omitting furniture and silver, the fol
lowing Is an average list of absolute re
quirements: Four sheets (single bed size).
One or two dimity counterpanes.
Two pillow cases.
One pair blankets.
One quilt.
One couch cover.
Two bath towels.
Four linen towels.
Two wash cloths.
Ono laundry bag.
One shoe bag.
Four to six sofa pillows.
Three linen bureau scarfs.
One linen table cover, usually one yard
square.
Sash curtains for windows.
Cretonne overdraperles.
bewing basket.
Clothes hangers.
Shoo trees.

"PAT-PAT," A "KISS"
AND HONEY, POPULAR, BUT NOT HERE

Philadelphians Feel They
Else to Do Their Osculation for Them as
Follow Dominican Fashion
THOROUGH observation of methods of
salutation along the public thorough
fares and in. society, both high and low,
makes it possible to state positively that
the "pat-pat" has not taken hold In Phila
delphia to any great extent.
The little winged god Is still triumph
ant. Thus far the klssless kiss has had
no vogue.
The klssless klas originated In the Do
minican Ropublic. Its object Is the aboli
tion of the transmission of disease, but
some of those who have taken it seri
ously enough to become its enemies say
that In addition to bringing about that
object It will also abolish love. Its ad
vocates, however, reply that the fact that
It originated In Central America, -where
the Latin or artistic temperament Is
dominant, shows that the thing Is en
tirely feasible.
If It comes Into universal effect, they
say, the lips will have lost one of their
main functions. The ruby lips of the
poet, the soul-kiss of the musical com-
