We must hold steadfastly to the foundations the nation was built upon by Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Hancock and Hamilton. A hurried half-done piece of work only adds to our discontent, and puts off further the unity of the world and the settlement of the labor and financial questions now so disturbing. Hundreds of thousands of men and women at work in all Pennsylvania will push up production at the sight of daylight, cheer up the workers and start forward with a new spirit as soon as the treaty is passed and properly safeguarded. The next step will be for the United States Government to stop the heavy outflow to other countries of foodstuffs and fabrics that makes a scarcity of everything in the United States, and keeps up high prices. " Prices can never po down while costs and wages go up and there is no increase in production. Very few storekeepers are taking from the people all the profit they are entitled to.

Cheitnul) An Air of Quiet Distinction Marks the New Street Dresses for Young Women It is amazing how many ideas the dress designers have evolved, using Ihe plain dark blue serge and the dark blue tricotine which is so much in vogue this Winter. Though simply made and with little trimming, these dresses are most dis tinctive, as you'll admits when you see them. Some have braiding in jus't the right places ; sometimes it is a row of tiny black buttons which gives the touch that is needed; some times it is a soft bit of lace at the throat or a dash of bright-colored silk on the blouse or skirt or a glint of color which shows as a sleeve cuff is turned back.

At least it works out that way in the end. This is ex perience, not egotism. Also it is an inevitable ex perience, because it is in evitable that the standard all wool, better tailored suit is going to wear bet ter and to look better and to prove better investment than the suit that perhaps looks like it, but is lacking i in the vital mings, specifically the fabric and making. For unless these are right nothing is.
