Gabardine, Tricot, Serges, Tricotine, Tweed, Homespun and Brosdoloth and Variety cf Silks. As social life returns to its normal course more and more thought is given to dress. It is too early in the season for any very radical change in fash ions to lie established, hut it is most interesting to watch the development of the individual ideas of the design ers. There will be no distinct change In materials, since aa yet very few new fabrics have been made. A little of everything Is seen, gabardine, tricot, serges, tricotine, tweed, homespun and broadcloth. Among the sil!;s one notes a great variety and ulso fabrics of American make that are composed of silk mid wool with o predominance of silk. Many new colors will make their appearance this spring, and there will be a wider variety to choose from than )n recent seasons. The new silhouette Is a matter that Is uppermost in the minds of the de signers at the moment. It Is predicted by a few of those In a position to note the trend of the times that the mode will gradually emerge from the ex treme simplicity of the hist few sea sons and once again the more compli cated silhouette will be tn evidence. The advance models, however, give no Indication of this change. A major ity of the tailored suits of summery aspect are built upon severely plain lines, slim and straight as those of this winter. The coat, for Instance, may he built without the slightest curve at the waist line and the front left open to trtiow a i long sweater-like waistcoat which has no visible fastening. The skirt Is also straight and slim, and wUlu there Is a slit at the back to give Its wearer more comfort In walking the material crosses over so that the slit Is not visible. Very pretty simple one-piece frocks of silk, tricotine or wool In liht weight and In light colors or all white are noted. A smart little model was fashioned from a lovely, soft creamy white ftabar dlne with large collar aud cuffs of white silk. The frock was caught In loosely at the waistline by a white silk cord which tied at the hack aud ex tended half the skirt length, the ends being finished with tassels. The back of the skirt was made with four deep folds slightly gathered In flounce ef fect. There are numerous caiie models of light weight woolen shown for the benefit of the southern trade. They lire made In various styles aud of vu rlous materials. V. LOAN NEED SHOWN IN NEW WAR FIGU "America's Munitions," by Major Crowel!, Tells Story of U. S. Effort. SOME FASHION NOTES.

There is food for thought for Vic tory Loan Doubting Thomases in the following excerpts from "AMERICA'S MUNITIONS" just issued by Major Benedict Crowe.lI, Asst. Sec't. of War. The estimated cost of tho ordinance reijuiied to equip our first five million men was between $12,000,000,000 and $13,000,000,000. Since 177!i and April 0th, 1917, ALL appropriations of Con gress were but $20,000,000,000, Includ ing five wars and the pensions result ing from these wars. The total cost of the ordnance effort to equip our first five million men amounted to $12.00 for every hour since the birth of Christ. There was never a shortage of smokeless powder. Over 2,500,000 shoulder rifles were produced In the 19 months of our par ticipation in the war more than either Kngland or France produced during that period. The average monthly production during July, Au gust and September, 1918, was as fol lows: Fran(, 40100 England 112.S21 u- s- A 2:13.502 Over three billion rounds of small arms ammunition were produced and our speed before the armistice was twice that of France and 10' greater than England's. Our production of machine guns dur ing the period from April 6, 1917, to Nov. 11. 1918, was slightly more than England's and slightly less than Fiance's. At the end or the war our rate was twice that of France and nearly three times aa great as Eag laud's. In connection with 7.ri-mllllmeter hells, 4.250,000 high explosive shell. fiOO.000 gas shelU and 7.250,000 shrap sel hud been produced complete by No vember 11, 1918.
