WEDNESDAY, pg doings AUGUST 28, 1918 SECOND SECTION om WARAND COQUETRY World Conflict Does Not Alter Vanity, Writer Says. Color of Hair and Face Should Re. ceive Consideration When Choosing Style of Clothes, The world does not often go in for the kind of costumery that was worn by Watteau's women or the dalry- maids of the Petit Trianon. Fashion, - for some reason, keeps to sterner und more sedate rules, says a fashion ort: fe. Not that we abjure coquetry; our women are full of it, even under the ban of war, We are not averse to that kind of seductiveness which Is given by the orfentulization of clothes; we simply do not turn to the puffed and frilied, powdered and flowered type of dressing. Even when the designers go back- ward Into a frivolous era and pick up bits of costumery from Marie An- tolnette when she was playing the part of a commoner, or from groups of peasant maidens singing in grand op- era, they do not do It in a serious man- ner. They simply throw out these Dolly Varden gown of blue and pink printed crepe chiffon, with a draped apron of sky blue taffeta. The short slesves show the prevailing fashion, and the bretelles over the neck are of blue taffeta to match the apron, © pleces of fashion as tidbits to those whose sartorial appetites need whet- ting or who have wearled of the heavy ' fare of Russian, Byzantine, Chinese and military costumery. There are certain types of women who should never dress isi any way but the Watteau manner, If they have white halr and young faces, they should never attempt clothes taken from the bazaars of Delhi, the Assyri- an courts, or the ballet dancers of Pet- enough to wear the tip-tilted shepherd- ess hat In foolish form, or the over short frock ; nor the red-heeled slippers. There is a happy medium and they should grasp it. oe ~~ TERSE FASHION NOTES Nor should they be silly. ' STORED MUCH FROZEN MEAT | Ge . rman Authorities, in First Days of | War, Mobilized All Resources of Refrigerating Plants. } Berlin. has 2,200 tons of frozen meat { in its municipal cold storage depots. | The supply is replenished from time te time so that it remains at that figure. On their present meat ration of one half pound, the Vossische Zeitung says, the Berliners are assured of meat enough to last all Greater Berlin two or three weeks, even if there should be a temporary stoppage of replenish- ments. How the cold storage of pork has helped Germany to ¢'stick it" is- ex- plained In an article in the Chemiker Zeitung. Early in the war, realizing the seriops effect of the British block- { ade on the meat supply, the govern- ment direct the refrigerating {ndus- try to mobilize its resources on the largest possible scale, It was ordered to make preparations for dealing with millions instead of thousands of pigs. Cold storage plants were enlarged, new ones built, and the system so ex- tended that today there is hardly a local community without its own re frigerating facilities. Every fortress has a freezing plant of its own. In case of siege it will assist materially in the preservation of perishable foods, especially meat, eggn, fish 'and butter. "The German authorities,' says the article, "have taken advantage of cold storage to the fullest extent, thereby greatly easing the economic condmet of the war." : TELL OF LONDON"S HISTORY Collection of Wenderfully Interesting Relics In the Whitechapel Art Galleries: i : In & small space in the Whitechapel art galleries there is a fascinating col- lection which recenstitutes the history of Lordon from the days when the Britons watched the galleys of the Ro- mans sweeping up the Thames river. There are bits of Roman pottery found in the Thames mud. Photographs and prints show how bits of the old Roman wall may still be touched by living hands. And so throughout the long story of the great old city there are re- membrances of its varying phases, of its ceaseless change: a beautiful plece of carving by Grindling Gibbons, or one of his school, in St. Paul's grotesquely carved brackets of wood that once supported the beams of Tu- wrought by ancient craftsmen ; leather Jacks, out of which some Falstaff quaffed his sack; clay pipes, smoked in Queen Elizabeth's day by men who sailed the Spanish mala; the old Whitechapel parish register, telling of citizens who died of plague, or born and married in the days before the great fire, and when bells of old St. Paul's rang for joy and sorrow. British Working Man, "Making Good" as Soldier, Will Never Again Be Butt of Jesters. What the poor citizen wants is not charity, or even sympathy, still less regulation; it is respect, which is the social soll of self-respect. That is why he is sometimes happier as a soldier, in spite of all the sickening horrors of soldiering; because humanity always has respected, and always will respect, a soldier. Thus, Gilbert K. Chesterton, writ- ing in the Illustrated London News, sums up an argument which, among its premises, contains the following: "Xftér all, it will be well to remem- ber that nearly every battalion is a labor battalion. The commonest type in the trenches, the object of such wide and well-deserved praise In the press and the public speeches, is, after all, Identical with another type--a common object of the streets and the comic papers. The British soldier is generally our old friend the British working man. "He has lived by trades that are too often treated as merely grimy or grotesque ; and in the case of new and almost crude conscript armies, like those we have lately raised, he has gen- erally quite recently dropped those tools and left those trades. It is the plumber, who is charged with potter- ing about for days before he stops a small leak in a pipe, who has often in a few minutes stopped with his body the breach In the last dyke of civiliza- tion, lest $¢t should let in a sea of sav- agery; and there may even be fewer jokes about his soldering, now they can be answered by a pun about his soldierfhg. It is the cabman, who was supposed to grumble unduly at a very different sort of fare, and especially ut at the sort we call warfare." HAS KEPT TOUCH WITH PAST Old Tarrytown on the Hudson R:fuses to Become Part of Modern Hustle and Bustle. Safely aloof from the rush and scramble which typifies Long Island today lies Tarrytown on the Hudsou. The solidarity and leisurely prosper of Tarrytown have kept .it from being swept along with the stream of world: ly progress. It has tarried. It has kept its legends and traditions its landmarks and historic bulldings.

There are other specters of which the locality can boast, notably that of Andre, also on horseback, who cau be heard at night riding at high speed up the road on which he was captured. At the fatal spot the sound of hoofs ceases, naturally enough, leaving the These, and many other relics, bring back the spirit of oldtime London to men and women who go to the quiet and restful place from the rush of modern life in Whitechapel, 5 Some Old-Day Battles. The great odds in numbers which the British army has had to face on the western front Is no rare experi- ence in its annals. Wellington has borne witness to that fact in his re- marks that Talavera was the only battle in which he had a numerical superiority, owing to the presence of the Spaniards, who, while showing much personal gallantry, were badly led. At all his other battles he had fewer men than the enemy. "At Sala- mace I had 40,000 men, and the French perhaps 45,000. At Vittoria I had 60,- 000 men against 70,000. At Waterloo the proportion was still more against me. I had 56,000 to 58,000; Napoleon had near 80,000. The whole army in the south of France under my com- mand was considerably larger than the force of Soult at the battle of Tou- louse, but in. numbers actually em- ployed in that battle I had less than be" All of which goes to show that strength and saccess do not neces- sarily lle with mere weight of num- more essential.--Christian Monitor.

There are other factors vastly | chance hearer to scuttle home with unseemly haste. Night is an excellent time to go sight- (seeing In Tarrytown. There Is the Sleepy Hollow graveyard, which no vig: itor would wish to miss, and which has an additional charm when viewed by moonlight. There is always the possi- bility that some illustrious resident of the place may come forth to take the air and wander once again to his old | home or to.the market place. * Swore Just Like a Native. Lieut.-Col. Oliver Dockery, in charge of training of the 160th Depot brigade, at Camp Custer, Mich., is from the South and has something of the c¢har- acteristic Southern accent, The other day when 2,000 negro recruits arrived from Alabama Colonel Dockery ran RCTOSS & negro sergeant' who was marching a group of the new wen along in the rain and reproved the sergeant for taking his men out In such weather and ordered them back in the barracks. Just as they disap peared in the doorway one of the shiv- ering little negroes from the South turned around and said, "Dst sholy am a kind-hearted man. He cusses like he come from down home. Dat boss make me #0 homesick dat I believe 1 is goin' to cry." Boo-hoo! Boo-hoo! Duty That Lies Near. 9 take one. Ain't doctors funny" ~{ mark. Merchant soldier goes into ba from want. Lusitania !
