| | | LINES THAT MARKED THE EARLIEST MODELS 5 unr >. LIBERAL LINES IN COATS. The latest arrivals in coats have not departed from the liberal lines of early models, neither as to length nor width, They give the same impression of lux- urious warmth and substantial com- fort. Some of them achieve original touches in detail of construction and trimming and succeed in presenting something new in a world of varied coats. Two examples that can hardly be ex- telled for beauty and utility are shown. They proclaim the cleverness of their Mesigner inasmuch as they follow the mode, but by original means. At the right a coat, which might be made tn any of the popular cloths, Is cut with the body and sleeves in one. It is set to the figure over the shoulders by small tucks at the back which extend from a square yoke to the top of the sleeves. Wide cuffs, a convertible col- lar, and patch pockets, to which we model and a happy choice for anyone who wants a dressy gown that will serve for many occasions. It is un- pretentious but it Is also elegant, and its design is so simple that the choice of color is widened. Where it Is to serve for both afternoon and evening blue, light gray, taupe, ollve green, burgundy and amethyst are good col- ors that will prove successful in It. The underskirt and bodice are made of satin and are plain. The georgette skirt is bordered with a narrow band of velvet headed by a line of silver braid. Above this a band is embroi- dered by long stitches in silk floss, The crepe is laid in three deep folds and draped over the shoulders, and be- tween this draping a plain plece of crepe extends across the back and front. Narrow bands of needlework provide the decoration for the bodice. Short shoulder straps are made of It CHARMING AFTERNOON GOWN. are accustomed, are as plain as can be and nothing is allowed to divide the attention, which {ts centered on the general excellence of this design. A fine combination of cloth and fur, shown at the left, Is cut on Mnes that are almost straight, with a hint of definition at the waistline. A little fullness in the body fs laid in plaits that disappear in a piping set in at the front. Silk cord and pony skin distinguish this model by way of dec- eration. The pony skin is trimined tato points along one edge and forms a deep border at the bottom of the coat. The same idea *wppears in the collar which is almost covered by the spony skin, and in cuffs made entirely of it. Both coats are long and both leave notuing to be desired In the direction of style or comfort. Georgette crepe embellished with velvet and needlework ani: brightened with a little touch of silver make up the very pretty efternoon gown which is pictured bere, It Is an loteresting and finished with small pendant balls of silver. The bodice shows a little chemisette of embroidered net. A wide flat girdle is made of satin veiled with georgette and ornamented with a band of needlework. It extends below the waistline, wrapping the fig- ure loosely, The sleeves are full from Shoulder to cuff. Here they are shirred to form the deep narrow cuffs that are finished at the hand with a band of needlework. The hat of gold lace, which har monizes so well with this gown, Ir bound at the edge of the brim with seniskin and trimmed with a small pompon of this fur. It would be just as pretty made of silver lace, and the fur might be moleskin. The choice will depend upon becomingness to the COATS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE LIBERAL| MISSED A THRILL A Test. of Endurance Ce WHERE SENATOR GORE OVER LOOKED A CHANCE. | | | Foolish Statement as to Republican | Campaign Expenditures Might as | Well Have Been Magnified Into 4 | By GEORGE MUNSON Figures Worth Whiis. The Republican national committee | reported a total expenditure of $2,500,- | 000, Whereat Senator Gore of Okla- | homa says with his accustomed solem- nity, “I am informed that the sum ac- tually spent was ten million dollars.” Mr. Gore uses the wrong word when he says “informed.” He may have been told; but he was not informed. What he got was in all probability mis- information to the extent of $7,500,000. The members of that comrhittee are not addicted to lying and perjury. Mr. Gore's spacious misinformant (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.) “Sorry, but there’s nothing doing!” The city editor’s tone was final. But the young man who had just applied for work as a reporter still lingered. “1 understand Mr. Grimshaw is tn Europe,” he said, “or else 1 should have applied to bim.” “See here, young man,” sald the city editor, “Young Mr. Grimshaw is a young cub who knows about as much of running a newspaper as that desk does. He's in Europe, squandering his father's that we're | kept the nation out of war. might as well have given him a still finer thrill and told him ‘that the ex penditure was $10,000,000,000. Why not? As well be hanged for a sheep us a lamb; as well be charged up in the judgment-day books with « $10,000,000,000 falsehood as a $10,000,- 000 one. And how much greater en joyment it must have afforded Mr Gore (always a solemn and censorious man with a marvel to somebody's dis credit handy) to say, “I have been !r formed that ten billion dollars was the actual figure.” “Mankind,” said Doctor Johnson, “love to propagate a wonder.” Man is & romancing animal, and Mr. Gore |s not exempt (to quote the doctor again) | from that “anfractuosity of the human intellect.” He has imagination. All it needed was the hashish of sutli clently sensational misinformation to build on, The $10,000,000 yarn was interesting. But what an Arabian Nights fabric of spun glass and moon- shine he might have reared if “in formed” that $10,000,000,000 was the amount actually spent by that com mittee! Headed for the Rocks. Secretary McAdoo estimates the or dinary expenditure of the United States government in the fiscal year which will begin next July at not less than $1,278,000,000. An increase 9,000,000 over the expenditures of the present fiscal year is expected, and by comparison with the fiscal year which euded with last June the in- | crease 1s calculated at the enormous | sum of $553,000,000. The high cost of government, It is plain, outruns all other changes in the | expenses of the American people, since | it is to be multiplied by two, lacking a sinall fraction, In two years, and | there is no corresponding expansion of the national income. A deficit of $282,- 000,000 in the next fiscal year Is ex- pected by the treasury department, po less large additional revenues shall be provided. Manifestly the country cannot go on long at that rate. If it did it would encounter grave financial difficulties. The way out will doubtless be found in the piling up of new taxes, a situa- tion never, we believe, suggested, much less foretold, by special pleaders for the administration in the recent presi- dential campaign. Republicans Beaten by Mistakes. “It’s useless to indulge in post mor- tems,” observed former Secretary of the Interior Walter Fisher in Chicago, at Washington. “We know that the Democrats won a victory. In my judg- ment the principal cause of the Demo- cratle triumph was the belief among a great many people that the president I do not believe he did, but that does not mat- ter. The voters of Kansas did, and so did the voters of some other states, “As for the future, I am sure that the Republicans are in a position of vantage. I believe that two years from now the Republicans will elect a ma- jority of the congress, und four years heace we shall doubtless have a Re- publican president. That we lost In the recent campaign was due to numer- ous conditions. In my opinion, the Re- publicans would have been victorious had Mr, Hitchcock conducted the cam- paign. Many mistakes were made, but it Is now too late to review them. We were beaten, and that’s an end to It.” $38,000,000—Mostly “Pork.” A bill appropriating $38,000,000 for federal buildings to be scattered here end there thréughout the country is now before congress. Secretary McAdoo in his annual re- port says congress In the last twenty years has appropriate? $15,000,000 for public buildings, and of this vast sum the larger part has been spent In small places where “neither the gov- ernment business nor the convenience of the people justified their construe tion.” The present bill Is said to be a repe- tition of this kind of extravagance, — Duty of Congress. The revenues of the country are run- ning behind. We ure facing a huge deficit, which, unless steps are taken to wipe it o0t, Is bound.to grow. Our money needs are great, and should be supplied, Reductions and skimpings by congress nt this time would not be economy. Our program Is larger than supplying the home market.

Let me ome In and sit around and wait for ap assignment.” : “All right, you can come In every lay and sit around till you're blue in he face,” replied the city editor. ‘Come right tn now.” The young man followed bim Into he big room and took his place on a hair. At twelve o'clock he went out for his lunch. At ene In the afternoon He stayed ull five and hen went away. Nobody took the least 10tice of him. For nearly a month he repeated this orocedure, but he never got an assign- nent, nor did the city editor seem to recognize his presence. Wistfully he watched other reporters get assign- ie was back. nents and once, when there was no- body In the room to go after a piece of “| Heard It,” He Said Angrily. news Mr. Lake's eyes fell upon him thoughtfully, but he did not call on him. During his month the young man had*tearned many things. He had learned that Mr. Lake was the best city editor in town; also that he was possessed of a malignant and diabolical humor, which had led him to encourage the young applicatt deliberately, in or- der to triumph in his eventual discom- fiture. Lake was also a brute. The young man had seen a reporter fired without a moment's notice for a mistake on Lake's part. He saw little Miss Nor- ris, the telephone girl, hauled over the coals daily. Miss Norris stood in fear of Lake and, oddly enough, she and the young man used to exchange pa- thetic glances whenever any uproar oc- curred in the office, Although they had not spoken, there was established a regular telepathic communication be- tween them. One day they met In the lunchroom, and he was emboldened to speak to her. They drifted into conversation. “Td leave In a minute,” she said, “only I've got my sister to take care of, and one can’t get ahead in this game, Besides, the newspaper work gets into one’s blood somehow.” * “Why don't you speak back to the brute?” he asked. She shrugged her shoulders. “They're all as bad,” she answered, “and I don’t want to have to hustle round the newspaper offices for an- other position now. Elsa had an op- eration last month and I have to pay five a week to the doctor.” The young man left her at the office door with the impression that he had met a girl in the worldein whom he could take an Interest, They met often In the days that followed. Under her levity he discovered a good deal of seriousness. She wore a mask with which to look upon the world's battle- field and when the day was over she became herself again. He called at the little flat and saw the sister, just recovering from her serious illness. He was fast drifting into love for her, and he believed that his feeling was re- turned. At the office be was learning many things. - Having become accepted as a part of the establishment, he used his opportunity to discover the workings of the newspaper business. He mude friends with the printers and went into the ghop. ll the while, Lake seemed unconscious of his presence; secretly he was wondering how long the young man would hold out and whether he could afford to spend his days there forever. The young man made acquaintance with two or three of the reporters. “You're on the wrong tack,” they told bim. “Anybody but Lake would have given you an assignment weeks ago. But it’s his way; he’ll never give In. He wants to show you that you can't rush him. Give up, boy.” He didn’t give up. He came in regu- larly until three months had passed. Lake was beginning to be annoyed. He had not reckoned on this. He was on the point of ordering him out of the office; but to do that would be a,con- fession of defeat. And then something happened that put an end to the situ- ation. The young man entered the office ope morning to find everything in an uproar. A rival daily had beaten the News Sentinel with a big story and two men had been dismissed in coase- quence. It was not their fault, but Lake's discipline was merciless, And he bad jumped on Miss Norris mercilessly over a telephone message which he declared her to have deliv- ered wrong. Now, as it happened, the young man had heard Lake give the message. He strode forward. “Miss Norris delivered that message as you gave it to her. I heard it,” he sald, angrily. Lake glared at him. “What the— what the—!” he began. “That bluster won't go,” sald the young man. “You know perfectly weil that you are making this girl the vic- tim of your own error. And you know Mr. Marston and Mr. Jones car- ried out their orders, And you have turned them away. It's you who ought to go, not they.” 2 The city editor, paralyzed by the sud- denness of the onslaught, could not at first find words. “Maybe you're Mr. Grimshaw,” he sneered. “Yes,” answered the young man, “That's your first right guess about me and, as you said, I was a young cub, and knew about as much of a newspa- per as that desk does. That’s why I've been trying to learn the bus!ness, as far as you'd let me.” Lake sat down tn his chair and turned white. Marston, with a cry of astonishment, came running up. “By thunder, tt {s Mr. Grimshaw!” he shouted. “I met you at your father’s house three years ago. I thought 1 knew you!” Lake began gathering his things to- gether. “Well, it’s on me,” he mut- tered. “I’m entitled to six months’ sal- ary in Meu of notice.” “I'm not golig to give you notice,” answered the other. “I know a good editor when I see one, thanks to what I've learned here. Personally, you are 4 brute, Mr. Lake. Professionally, you are a good editor. I want you to stay —if you'll take me a little more into your affairs,” he added, smiling. “And, by the way, Jones and Marston stay. And you owe Miss Norris an apology.” Lake, who was a good fellow at heart, but soured by the years he had spent at the most testing of the pro- fessions, sprang to his feet with out- stretched hand. “I guess you're right, Mr. Grimshaw,” he said, warmly. “I apologite, Miss Norris. And I'll stay.” “And you'll stay?” asked the young man of Miss Norris a little later. She looked up with a quick blush. “Yes, I—I'll stay,” she answered mean- ingly. Too Happy to Bother, A fat, red-cheeked woman sat well up in front In a downtown movie house a few days ago. When she laughed sh@ laughed all over. The doings of the hero centered around custard ples and she laughed often. She held a purse in her hand. The catch was defective. One chuckle unsnapped It. 5 There was a spasmodic snicker and a ten-cent plece popped out of the purse. A nickel tinkled on the floor as the woman struggled with a deep- seated giggle. A quarter took a hurdle with a jerk of her diphragm and disappeared. Every time she laughed she lost a coin. She paid no attention to the shower, but her escort was manifestly uneasy. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, “D-d-don't b-b-bother now,” she said in the middle of a laugh. “I guess perhaps I've lost ’most $1.19 so far, but let’s wait until we see where the next pie is going before we start to pick up the money.”—Exchange. Austria’s Two-Headed Eagle. That two-headed eagle by which we now recognize Austria Is one of the frauds on heraldry, the London Chron- Icle states. It has been pointed out by old-fashioned historians with a pas- sion for truth that when Francis of Austria gave up pretending to be the heir of the Caesars, and laid aside his claim to the holy Roman empire and his German kingdom, he ought to have rendered back to Caesar that which was Caesar's. But he stuck to the two-headed eagle, instead of content- ing himself with the lion of his-arch- duchy. From the point of view of the Heralds’ college this conduct was as indefensible as if a private British citi- zen had used the arms of an English See because he claimed to be the de- *cendant of a bishop. There was meth- od, however, In the usurpation. For an “emperor” with an eagle became & more distinguished personage than an archduke with a lion. —___.
