1 New York.-The trade, which means
the vast multitude of people engaged _io
the making and selling of women’s ap-
parel, has at last sounded n warning to
those who buy too far ahead of the
seasons, advises a well-known fashion
correspondent. ,
The public has deplored this condi-
tion. It has been well known for sev-
eral seusons that the average woman
did not care to buy a straw hat in
February and a velvet hat in July, or
to have all her autumn clothes offered
to her the first of September with the
assurance that they were the fashions
that would rule throughout the winter.
She has been often betrayed, and that
betrayal has not soothed her irritation
against those who sold her the clothes.
It is the fact also that the trade in
turn has found itself caught in a
net that tangled and involved it, and
compelled each individual to struggle
for success in a manner contrary to
the dictates of reason and sobriety.
Through this web of circumstances
everyone has come to n feeling that
something must be done in the crea-
tion of new fashions long before the
season for which they are to be worn,
and that the public must follow the
lines laid down by the trafle competi-
tors.
Right here lies the extraordinary
gamble to women in buying clothes
early in the season. Right here lies
one of the greatest sources of money
wastage. Thousands of women, who
have no way of knowing what the
fashions will be as the season ad-
vances, buy what is said to be new ns
the season demands a change.
What they buy in September has
probably been bought by the shop in
June. To keep up with the rising tide
of forehandedness, the manufacturers
make the clothes earlier and earlier,
and the ready-to-wear shops and de-
partment stores, as ii rule, hiiy these
clothes as early as the rnniiufactnrers
make them, and get them out at the
very moment there is n slight demand
for them. . '
What happens?
In October ami in April the real
fashions come out for each season.
Hundreds of women-nay. thousands-
are faced with the fact that they iinvi'
bought gowns, or wraps, or hats thai
are not in keeping with the new

tic exhibitions of new and seasonablo

HERMANN LINE BROKEN.
French Force the Invaders to Cliaiigi-
Position.
PARIS. Oct. 28.-On Sunday Dc-
beney’s army al’i.ci' three days and
nights of uninterrupted lighting, dis-
lodged the enemy from the Hermann
line, pursuing him to the next line,
ilve miles northward. The Germans
know what is at stake and are tight-
ing as they did in 1914. Their ma-
chine gunnei-s are covering their
infantry in retreat and are dying ni
their posts rather than surrender.
Discussion of the armistice pro-
posals has had no appreciable effect
upon military operations on the
French front, which are being prose-
cuted with a vigor that has not slack-
ened since the offensive began on
August 8. The enemy's resistance
also has not weakened, obiiging the
three French armies operating be-
‘tween the Oise and the Aisnc to con-
tinue their intense sustained effort
for more than three months.
The defence the Germans are mak-
ing does not appear like ilic last
stand of an army in desperate straits
since they are able to force the
French to wage winter lighting on
successive lines of btrongly fortified
positions.
Again, thc German lines appcarcil
io be ilinching at certain points, not-
ably in front of the First Army, Gen.
Debeney's iuen having taken Cour-
jumelles and La Ferte, crossed the
Peron and advanced toward the
northeast. There is nothing to indi-
cate, however, that this is not one
more of the well organized and sue-
cessive retirements of the enemy to
another position prepared in advance.
Gen. Mangin's troops crossed the
I Serre east of Assls-sur-Serre without
much opposition and penetrated the
German trenches north of the ri~ver.
On the other hand the army of Gen.
Guillauuiiii. on the front eastward to-
ward the Aisne. is encountering the
,strongest resistance from both the
artillery andthe infantry. The enemy
counter-attacked vigorously south oft
