then there are those who wish it

such as these has come the clamor to

from a few seasons ago when long
dresses replaced the short ones as to
whether the women on this side of
the Atlantic would return to the
long skirt.
They answer the question, and in
a most satisfactory manner. A wom
an would not be a woman did she not
like to follow the prevailing mode.
She likes variety as men do also
and thus is ready to change the cut
of her garments from time to time.
t the same time, there is a certain
independence about American wom
en and this became more evident dur
ing the world war, when tHey un
dertook many tasks hitherto not even
considered by them.
It was during the war days that
short skirts came into vogue, and
exceedingly popular they were with
the American woman. She was re
luctant to lengthen them when Paris
set the example. Yet she wished to
be in style. In the end she lowered
them, but with reservations. For af

well, for the Ion? skirts have their
daim to grace, but for walking, for
everyday purposes, she placed them

Ask the average banker or busi

This of course, may sound impos

'vho offers such advice ought to stop

France owes this country, and
other countries, an enormous sum of
money. "Make France pay," exclaim
some of our fellow citizens. Making
a debtor pay, when he hasn't the
money and you won't accept his ser
vices or his goods in lieu of cash, is
quite a problem. France's debt to

goods, then," say some other of our1
fellow citizens. But our own tariff1
law3 forbid that. Our tariffs are
framed to make sales of foreign mer
chandise in our ports, so France is
deprived of opportunity to pay in
goods even the interest she owes us.
She could pay us in paper francs,
simply by printing them and ship
ping them to us. But the French
franc is already worth three-fourths
less than gold parity, so that if bil
lions of new francs were printed
they would be worth anything. How
then, is France to pay us? She is to
pay us when Germany pays her, just
like the individual who is generally
willing to pay his creditors when his
debtors come clean with him. Can
Germany pay France? Not with
gold. She can pay something on her
debt in terms of coal and iron and
manufactures, but French manufac
turers, like our own, object to com
peting on that basis. So here the
world stands.
