Margaret Mason Writes on
Gotham Fads and Fashions
By MAKGABET MASON.
In chiffon blouse and chiffon skirt
And dainty drop stitch hose,
Myrtillli played aome golf with me-
And havoc with her clothes.
New ork, Jan. 26. The shimmering
shining, sheenful showing'of silken vel
vet and chiffon fabrics for summer and
spring satorial confections makes me
think of two incidents, one historical,
and one literary. ,
Our wearing silk for sport, dress and
undress, because we can't have wool
somehow or orther makes poor frivolous
Marie Antoinette's silly query why the
people of Paris didn't cat cake if they
had no bread seem less inane.
You remember the hero of Balzac's
"The Magic Skin" could feel no love
for a woman no matter how beautiful
unless she were elegantly attired in silk
and velvet and rare lace. Had he but
been a 1918 Robert W. Chambers hero
tow he might have reveled in a surfeit
of silken swathed charmers to his hearts
content. .
Actually sport skirts of Persian and
Peruvian patterned chiffon banded in
marabou above the hem, offer their
transparent charms with sheer audacity
in competition with lustrous satin skirts
of white, flesh, maize and silver grey,
polka dotted in huge black disks or
etriped in broad bands of black, green,
blue, cerise or purple. Some most teas
ing confections have alternate bands of
figured chiffon and ribbon running
frantically around from hip to calf.
lear (and I can use the word dear
advisedly after pricing the same) little
slip over blouses of figured chiffon with
white chiffon collars and cuffs and per
fect for wear with either the chiffon or
the satin skirts of one solid color or
white. They come in designs of tiny
pin dots or close wavy lines of rose,
Copenhagen, yellow, lavendar, or Shad
ow Lawn green, on a background of
white.
Sweaters, sleeveless, slip on or coat
styles, hectic of coloring and woven in
plaids, checks, and stripes of contrast
ing tones still cling to the 1918 waist
and bust line but the really smart thing
for wear with the sport skirts this sea
son are the new coats of velveteen.
Some are sleeveless and resemble more
nearly a velvet waistcoat while others
are cut much like a masculine dinner
jacket with the low roll collar and still
others show belts and full ripple ef
fects over the hip. In black they are
most striking but dark green, navy blue,
wine, plum and bronze make stunning
contrasts with the gayly colored or all
white skirts.
Sport hats yielding up record crops
of peaches, plums, apples, cherries,
grapes, oranges, straw beries, raspber
ries, blackberries, lemons and pears,
show that we are even carrying the
meatless and wheatless days to our mil
linery. These fine first fruits of the modist
season aro most effective made of yarns
in natural colorings but silken fruit is
also in good taste if not of good taste.
Quilting is not confined to beds and
hats either, but parasols are quilted
within an inch or two or three of their
edges and the sets of quilted hats, knit
ting bags and parasols to match are the
very last word and last stitch of tho
mode.
The little gingham frocks that made
such a hit last summer are to be with us
again this year but here again silk
must need flounce in and take the lead.
Silk in the plaids and checks and color
ing exactly duplicate the real ginghams
and the simple country maid in her ging
ham apron and sunbonnet would be as
apt to thrill Balzac's hero as a city lass
in trailing velvet for ten to one the
apron and Bunbonnet will be of the soft
est wash silk camouflaging as gingham.
You can't just get away from silk no
matter how hard you try. Both Judy
O 'Grady and Colonel's lady will wear
morning dresses of tub silk, sport dres
ses of wash silk, wash satin or chiffon,
afternoon frocks of chiffon, Georgette,
taffeta or foulard, evening gowns ditto
and night gowns of Georgette crepe de
chine and satin. It 's a case of round the
clock in silk.
Oh the maid of 1918 is made of silk.
CIVIL WAE BEMTNESCENCES.
Mrs. Mary A. Livermore who has
been called the "Queen of the Amer
ican Platform,'' and who, during the
Civil War was a prominent member of
the Chicago branch, of the Sanitary Com
mission, has furnished to the world a
story of her experiences and observa
tions while engaged in the duties per
taining to her office, from which story
we take the privilege of publishing the
following as illustrative of the interest
the loyal women took in helping with
out of door work:
"During the war I was called into
the country on frequent errands. In the
early summer of 1863 frequent ealls of
business took me through the extensive
farming district of Wisconsin and east
ern Iowa, when the farmers were bus
iest, gathering the wheat harvest. Hun
dreds of reapers conld be counted in a
ride of half a dozen hoflrs. The crops
were generally good and in some in
stances, heavy, and every man and boy
was pressed into service to secure the
abundant harvest while the weather was
fine.
"Women were in the fields every
where driving the reapers, binding and
shocking, and loading the grain, until
then an unusual sight. Then I saw that
they followed the reapers, binding and
shocking, although they did not keep
up with the men, their work was done
with more precision and nicety, and
their sheaves bad an artistic finish that
those lacked made by the men.
"One day my route took me off the
railway some twenty miles across the
country. But we drove through the same
golden fields of grain, and between
great stretches of waving corn.
" 'I've got to hold up a spell and
rig up this 'ere harness", said my
driver, and the carriage halted oppo
site a field where half a dozen women
and two men were harvesting. Not a
little curious to know what these women
reapers were like, I walked over and
acdosted them.
"And, so you are helping gather the
harvest!" I said to a woman of forty
five or fifty, who sat on the reaper
to drive, as she stopped her horses for
a brief breathing spell. Her face was
pleasant and comely, although sunburn
ed, with honest straightforward eyes,
a broad brow, and a mouth that indi
cated firmness and tenderness.
" 'Yes ma'am," she answered. "The
men have all gone to war, so that my
man cannot hire help at any price, and
I told my girls we must turn to and
give him a lift with the harvesting.'
"You are not German? You are sim
ply one of my countrywomen Ameri
can!" " 'Yes ma'am; we moved Jiere from
Cattaraugus county, New York state,
and we have done very well since wa.
came. '
"Have you sons in the army! ''
" 'Yes," and a shadow fell over the
motherly face, and the honest eyes look
ed out mournfully into vacancy. 'All
three of 'em . 'listed, and Neddy, the
youngest, was killed at the battle of
Stone Eiver, the last day of last year.
My man, he went down to get his body,
but he came back without it. There
were nine thousand of our men left dead
on the field there and our Neddy's
body couldn't be found among so many.
It came hard on us to let the boys go,
but we felt we had no right to hinder
'em. The country needed them more
than we. We've money enough to hire
help if it could be had; and my man
don 't like to have me and tho girls a
working out doors; but there don't seem
to be no help for it now.' j
"I stopped over where the girls were
binding the fallen grain. They were
fine, well built lassies, with the hon-i
est eyes and firm mouth of the mother,
brown like her, and clad in the same
sensiblo costume.
" 'Well, you are like your mother,
not afraid to lend a hand at harvest
ing, it seems! ".was my opening re
mark. " 'No, we are willing to work out
doors in these times. Harvesting isn't
any harder, if it is as hard as cook
ing, washing and ironing, over a red ',
hot stove in July and August only we i
have to do both now. My three brothers I
went into the army, all my cousins,
most of the young men about here,
and the men we used to hire. So theres
no help to be got but women, and the
crops must be got in all the same, you
know. It's rather tough, but I told An
nie we can do anything to help along
while the country's in trouble.'
" 'I tell mother,' said the Annie re
ferred to, standing very erect, with
flashing eyes, 'that as long as the coun
try can 't get along' without grain, nor
the army fight without food, we're serv
ing the country just as much here in
the harvest field as our boys are on the
battle field and that sort o' takes the
edge off from this business of doing
men's work, you know.'
"Further conversation disclosed the
fact that amid their double labor in
the house and field, these women found
time for tho manufacture of hospital
supplies, and had helped to fill box ;
after box with Bhirts and drawers, dried
apples and pickles, current wine and j
blackberry jam, to be forwarded to the j
poor fellows languishing in far-off i
southern hospitals.
"DANIEL WEBSTEB. ' '
WE CAN'T BE OPTIMISTIC
YET.
.
By J. C. Fernald of the
Vigilantes.
The world war, so far as America is
concerned, is now to be fought in Wash
ington, D. C. If conditions disclosed by
unchallenged testimony at the Senate
investigation now in progress are not, or
cannot be remedied, we have already
lost the war. The men may be brave
enough to do what Crockett did at the
Alamo die where they stand but that
will not save the nation nor the civil
ization for which they fight. Now is the
time to be scared, and not after disaster
happens.
Explanations of unreadiness are not
of the slightest value. The Germans will
win the war against us, unless we can
ehange very swiftly. That is all they
care for and all that concerns us.
Imagine some bureau chief meeting a
WANT FARMER BOYS
RELEASEDTR0M lilY
Their Help Needed to Plant
Nation's Crops Is Appeal
to Washington
Washington, Feb. 2. Appeale to re
lease the "farmer boys" now in the
national army, long enough to help plant
the nation 's food crops, are pouring into
congress from all sections of the coun
try. Fearing the whole program of stimu
lating food production to meet the de
mands of the allied nations, as outlin
ed by Herbert Hoover, may fail unless
the farmers are released, many senat
ors and representatives are demanding
an early vote on the bill amending tho
draft law to grant furloughs for farm
work. Draft officials here favor the
furlough plan, but urged that it bo used
with care and only where it is the ouly
way to fill the need.
Representatives of the great food pro
ducing section the middle west after
pointing out .that they are unalterably
opposed to exempting farmers as a class,
state they believe the furloughs are
the only way to keep the food produc
tion even up to normal. The majority of
them agree that a six week's furlough
the latter part of March and the first
of April would be sufficient. After
that the farm work is spread out suf
ficiently so that tho soldiers' help will
not be essential.
" "The crops must all be planted with
in a few weeks or might as well not
be planted at all," said Representative
Green of Iowa today, "and farm ex
perts out west confess they are unable
to see where the extra labor needed for
this intensive work can be obtained un
less the furloughs are granted.
"There was a shortage of farm labor
before the war and of course it has be
come much more acute since. Plans are
being made in many places to close the
high schools earlier to release farm boys
and many retired farmers are planning
to follow the plow for the first time
in several years, but with a big increase
in production demanded, they can do
comparatively little toward relieving
the labor shortage."
The majority of the population in the
middle west, Representative Rcavis,
Nebraska, points out, is engaged in ag
riculture and consequently the draft
made heavier inroads in this work there
than the national average indicates.
"A majority of the men accepted for
service in Nebraska aro from the
farm," Reavis said, " according to
draft board officials there, and the sit
uation will soon be critical, judging
from the appeals I have received."
"The governor of Kansas. Arthur
Capper, has foreseen how serious the
situation will be in his state," said Rep
resentative Campbell, Kansas, "and is
urging that the boys be sent back, to
the farms this spring. It looks liko the
only way to get the necessary labor."
"The situation in Illinois will be
very serious, for with such a large corn
producing area to plant within a short
time, an enormous influx of labor will
be necessary,' said Representative
Madden.
defeated American army, and saying "I
will now explain why you did not have
guns, ammunition, and other equipment,
to prevent that defeat."
He had better go and hide. Explana
tion may interest the historian fifty
years hence. Production, equipment,
guns, ammunition, food, clothing, ships,
are all that interest us now. We want
efficiency, victory, that need no expla
nation. It does not matter who is hurt by the
intantly needed reform, nor whoso
friends are distressed. The first prin
ciple of war is that the individual does
not count. Every one of our bright
eyed young men goes in with the un
spoken feeling. "Wounds, crippling and
death, for me do not matter, so the na
tion conquers for freedom and civiliza
tion." Is a department head or a bur
eau official made of different clay! Is
he more precious than any one of our
young heroes who "go across". to look
into the eyes of the deadliest foe the
centuries have seen!
When such a condition of things has
come, somebody should be hurt for al
lowing it to come. The adniinistratiion
must be made to understand that the
people are mad, and have a right to be.
Down with every official who is ex
posing the manhood of- America to de
feat, without inquiring too carefully
whether it is because he is a schemer or
fool, and without any tears' over the
question' whether he can get another
"job" or what becomes of his hand
boxed reputation, or how much he may
be missed in party conclaves or Wash
ington coteries.
We are going to war. Down with
every man who stands in the way of
victory! He is rubbish. Get out of the
way of the cannon and the marching
column! Let any one fall who may on
this side. Our eyes look across the sea
to our priceless men, soon to tread the
blood stained sou or J ranee, ine system
that has brought disaster so near to
them must be smashed, and a road of
possible victory be laid before their
brave feet. Clear away every thing and
every person that hinders!
Is this pessimism! If so, let us be
pessimistic. Here is a corporation that
on the present basis of its business will
be infallibly bankrupt in three months,
and nice officials say, "Oh, don't let's
be pessimistic. Let us keep bright and
cheerful, go on as we are, and trust
that all will come out right. The one
thing is to avoid anything disagree
able." No. The one thing is to avoid a re
ceiver. The one chance for recovery is in
being pessimistic right now, when it
may do some good, while things may
yet be righted.
Let us as a people be pessimistic,
good, hard, and deep, right now, till
these rotten conditions are remedied.
Then talk cheerfulness and hopefulness
and we will gladly listen. Pessimism
now; optimism when we have earned j
the right to it and not Derorei

Story Told In Court That
Reads Like Chapter from
Novel of Adventure
San Francisco, Feb. 2. Mysterious
messages left in bottles on the shores
of Borncco and Johnson Islands and
further detnils of tho mystery-ship
Maverick's adventure filled trip to
Bntnvia figured in today's session of
the Hindu revolt plot trial in United
Stsites court.
Tho story was related by Jack Starr
Hunt, super cargo of the Maverick.
Starr Hunt, a husky youth, sprawled
out in his chair on th witness stand
today and spun his yarn. Hero it is:
' 'Wo were to report to Captain
Deinnt at Hilo. Captains Nelson.
Elbo and Deinat met and they talked
over tho trip of the Maverick. It was
decided that when they reached Batav
ia affairs should be turned over to
Theodore Hellferich to handle.
"Well, wo came to Soccoro Island.
I went a, shore and left notes in two
bottles. They wero to be picked up
by the steamer Annie Larson when she
came along.
"The idea was to let the Annie Lar
son captain know how things fared
with ns. In one bottle I left a note
' Cmi -iuir our postofficc.'
"That meant that they were to go
to a secret hiding place where mail
was kept. In the other one 1 told him
what the Maverick had done and
warned him that the British gunboat
Rainbow was in tho neighborhood.
"At Johnson Island, 1 left a note:
'Maverick safe follow.' Near Anjer
Island we were stopped and searched
by a Dutch torpedo boat crew. Nelson
had concealed a chart showing where
arms and ammunition were to be hid
den. They didn't find this. It was
to be given Helffcrich and Nelson was
to pet $500.
"When we got into Batavia harbor
officers of a German ship, then in port,
came aboard. Nelson went ashore and
called up some one I don't know who.
He said: 'Victor Emanuel is here.' In
our code that meant the Maverick was
in port. I delievered a pack ige from
Deinat to Helffcrich and bu told me
they had been waiting for us three
weeks-. He said everything w is ready
in India, but we would have to wait
until the Annie Larseu came with
supplies."
