Washington — Illrflis mnrrlngcs mor-

the member states of the League of
Nations will figure strongly In studies
now In progress in Geneva to pnve the
way fur ultimate reduction of tlie size

The extrnordlnary scope of the In-
quiry eontemplated Is nowlo-re more
clearly shown than In the chapter on

population stallstles for each country

Its tendency to decrease”
LtTccts of the war on the composi-

Another phase of the problem Is
found In the “tost of Individual miiln-

Suits of Blue
Hats of Yellow
The American woman dx-s not wult
begin to display her fresh new
spring frocks und suits already she Is
beginning to appear In seuxonuhie
doilies which liuve only Just been
turned uul by tlux-e who create these
things with young enthusiasm eucu
year
llut hidden away In the rnrners of
shops and studios there are more nnd
more lovely things w ulilng for whut
are known technically us "(he exclu-
sive" They arc not too different from
the stjles of last year observes a fash-
ion writer In the New York Times but
they are sullldenlly rliungi-d to have
an unmistakable newness of thrill
shout
The discussion und the game of short
skirt versus long um-s gia-s merrily
on No one can tell exactly what
lengths they are going to he or are
for thut matter At one fisnhm show- -Ing
you will see skirls that cover the 1
ankles nnd ut the next you will see
them rising to the knees The whole
performance Icuves you w ith a sense
of bewilderment und a fix-ling that j
there Is nothing reliable In this direc-
tion upon which to base your theories
of gixai style However It leuves a
golden advantage fur women to wear
their aklrts ut exactly the lengths they
wish und to look their best In the style
that best suits llieui
As for sleeves — well n far as eve-
ning gowns ure concerned there are
none whatever There are merely up-
ertlire where the sleeves should be
unit In the dresses for the new sea-
son these armholes become more and
more severe and squared off They
ore strangely becoming In spile of their
severity even though one might not
xx -t them to he so It Is a fashion
that you become used to nnd find that
your original fears ag ilnst It were
founded upon sand
In one of the very latest evening
gowns there were these plain enrved-
uut armholes Into which flaring
sleeve made of one layer of tulle were
set On the ends of the sleeve three
wide bands of crystal head em-
broidery were set so that they weight-
ed the layer of nothingness In
the most delicate exquisite fashion
(if sashes nnd girdles tla-re are liny
number and they are all surprisingly
beaut Ifni for along with the general
simplicity of all of the more formul
dresses there goes this stunning op-
portunity to make the belt tell the
whole story When the dress Is of
some dull or Indefinite color then the
waistline will invariably show some
sparkling hit of color thut makes the
design a thrilling thing
Unadorned Frocks
Simplicity ts a word Hint has been
used overtime In connection with tlie !
newer styles hut really thut Ideal
(even though we run find no holier
word) ha-: reached Hie height 'of irs
expression in the newer gowns They
are all matters of line and color anil
Charming Gray Crep Dress Em-
broidsred With Gray Silvtr
cut Anything else — Any trimming or
decoration — must ncccssurlly merge
Into the workings of these general
lines if the dress Is to he regarded
among tlie best products of the season
At all of the American faahlon show-
ings one Is astonished to aee how very
plain and unadorned all of Ihe fris k
are They keep strictly to first prin-
ciples and bemuse of (hat they are
more beautiful than anything thut
American designers have turned out
picv lously
The suit tins somewleit changed It
character In thut If It Is a suit It Is
so strictly plain Rut then there hns
ome Into being this new thing called
the costume suit over which American
designers ure going quite mad They
are doing marvelous designing and
seem to have been Inspired hy this new
turn In the alTuIrs of street clothes
Some of the costume suits are pro-
vided with caxs either long or short
Rome of them hnve wraps that quite
cover the fnx k umh-rnenth and some
of them have little coats that whether
they have sleeve rr are suude over
tdeevcti-sa linos are nevertheless In-
tegral parts of the whole costume
The dresses Hint are parts of these
costume suits ure us Important hy
themselves as they are when worn In
connection with the wraps ih-slgned to
go with (hem That Is part of their
charm and most probably It Is the
leason why they have proved so ex-
traordinarily popular You aee when
you buy a costume suit you have not
only a strix-t dress hut one which d-s-s
quite nicely for an lndr dress or for
any occasion when It becomes neces-
sary to wear n dress without coat
New Figured Silks
So many times we aee the dress for
a costume suit made from a comllmt-
tlon of some woolen material nnd silk
Then the wrap will be lined with Hint
On of the PoDular Suits Draped From
a Patterned Mateilal
same allk so thut the whole arrange-
ment harmonizes In a churning way
The silks are either plain or figured
So much drpends upon the general
character of the suit hut tills Is so:
Thai Hie costume suit has given an
excellent opportunity for using these
pretty new figured silks so thut they
look Just right In connection with Hie
whole design Sometimes a figured Silk
If It makes a whole frock gives a
little ls much of a pattern but when
It Is combined In this wnv with some
plain rmitcrlul It shows off to excellent
advantage
The sport clollu-s for spring are
perhaps the most consplcuoys of all
of the Amerlcun creations for they
huve developed a character that Is
entirely unique They represent the
Innate personality of the American
woman They tell her particular story
of simplicity with the utmost con-
viction und there Is hardly one ninong
us who docs not fed pleasantly ut
home when wearing clothes of this
sort
The tweed and homespun sulta
(homespun Is the more attractive ma-
terial for spring and summer) are
made In all sorts of bright and Inter-
esting colors and more than any other
of the spring clothes they carry with
them that feeling of the season which
every one like to Inject Into some
part of tlu-lr wearing nppurel There
will he a gray-blue suit worn with a
pink hat or there will he a yellow-
' (an suit w-orn with a bright yellow hut
lor there will he a combination of a
i creuinxxilorod suit with a violet hut
1 And all of those things are so plain
1 ard well done that they slip Into the
scheme of dressing with the utmost
ease
Flowsr-Garlandsd Hats
Many of the hats turn uwuy from
the face und rise Into a peak ut front
while at tlie sides they show thut
1 graceful curve und droop which brings
(heir lines gracefully curving to meet
' Ihe shoulders There are many huts
with brims and cruwus Hint are quite
plain but otlu-rs of them show lace
draping and veils thut supply the pic-
turesque touch
For later In (ho summer there will
be those shade huts that drix-p all
nround the face and ure trimmed with
garlands of flowers which Mils year
promise to be done In all of the paste!
colorings
Shoes have kept steadily evolving
into comfortable lines until this sea-
son we have shoes which are not only
comfortable but good looking at the
tame time There are brown and tun
shoes for wear Willi sport costume
which are the best looking things ever
achieved by the Amerlcun woman
There are gray shoes made In the
some way with graceful straps over
the Instep and prettily stitched toes
and trimming
The shopping hags carried with the
new spring clothes are made of bright
bit of brocade of striped and moirx-d
silks and of Hie finest of lenthers They
ire sinull tilings (Ids season without
any more space than Is actually neces-
sary to carry those bits of makeup
