1 Great Variety of
Fashions Offered

New York.—There comes a time in
every woman's life when she wants
fashions in paragraphs or, probably, a
better way to put it is that she wants
her news capsuled so that she can di-
gest it in the quickest and easiest mag-
ner.
These are stirring times in the world
Contrary to all the expectations of the
pessimists and the croaking of the
gloomy prophets, there is a scramble
for enough merchandise to sell to the
women on this continent at this mo-
ment, They have money; they want
new clothes; Paris has sent alluring
costumery quite in keeping with our
spirit of war-time dressing; the shops
are crowded, and the bulk of the buy-
ing has gone to the people who offer
clothes that are not eccentric or over-
priced,
When fashions are slack, women
have time to read about them in e-
tail when they are being rushed across
the stage; but now, as in an exeiting
movie, there is no time for comment
or philosophy, for theory or observa-
tion. “News! Give us news!” is what
the people ery who want to go out to-
morrow morning and buy.
This is no time, therefore, to dwell
upon one subject and embroider it a

strong demand for fine grades of ITud-
son seal, especlally for coats, Straight
boxcoats that flare slightly at the
hem, will be fashionable,
Jet, In every form, will be acceptable
this year. The reopening of the old
mines in England, which were once
worked by the monks, has given 8
strong impetus to the trade in black
crystal. Sequins will not be used. The
surface will be facetted gnd highly pol.
ished. Entire gowns of jet In superb
design, mounted on black tulle, will
be offered as the first fashion for eve-
ning, although they are very expensive.
Jet buttons will be put on gowns
of serge, satin, velour and velvet.
Jelts of jet will be used on one-piece
frocks for the afternoon. The cadet
‘sash of the hour, which is used on
short coats as well as frocks will be
weighted with thick jet tassels.
In more ways than anyone could
think were possible, gray is mixed with
other colors. It is especially effective
when placed with subtle shades of blue.
Violet, hellotrope, salmon, watermelon
pink and flame red are some of the
colors which are put with gray gowns
to be worn for all hours of the day
and evening. Gray one-piece frocks for
the street, offered as a substitute for
tailored suits, have fitted, medieval
corselets made of braid.
Careless cravats on the most formal
suits, gain in importance. This kind
of neckwear started in Paris last May,
but the American dressmaker did not
fake it seriously until the new autumn
models arrived.

BOYS MAKE BEST AIR PILOTS
More Likely to Possess Dashing and
Intrepid Qualities That Make
Ideal Aviators.
 





War aviation, with its exceptional
dangers and its demands for supreme
courage, is peculiarly a service for
volunteers. But it has been demon
strated, says St. Nicholas Magazine
that the younger the war pilot the
more likely is he to possess those
dashing and intrepid qualities that
make the ideal fighter. Conse
quently, the government is opening
wide the door of the aviation service
for volunteers under twenty-one, the
conscription age. The army is already
giving officers’ commissions to young
men nineteen years of age, while the
navy has reduced its limit to eighteen
years. Only commissioned officers are
| permitted to operate American military
air
airplanes, so all our fliers will get
commissions,
Boys considerably younger than
eighteen can be thinking now of be-
coming war pilots, with reasonable
expectations of seeing actual service.
As long as the war goes on, the alir-
craft program wll keep growing, since
only the declaration of peace will jus-
tify a lessening of our effort.
First, let us see the qualifications
of those suited to war aviation. The
athletic type of boy is preferred. To
have been a member of a team is
asually a good indieation of pluck and
. persistence. ‘A sound physique, and
good vision and hearing, are absolute-
ly necessary. The ideal airman has a
cool head; he is able to act quickly in
emergencies. It is important, too, that
the war pilot be an accurate observer
and equally important that he possess
the ability to form correct judgments.
