The Baltimore American laments the passing year as a time of disaster and horror, asking if the coming year will bring peace or continue the era of war. It weighs the bleak record against a wish for blessings and an end to warfare.

A Dry Goods Economist notes a color rich season with natural fruit effects and flat floral novelties. Berries and cherries lead fruit themes while futurist and Chinese colorings shape the floral look. Silk and wool flowers remain vivid yet flat for hat surfaces with ribbons as bandings and loops. Narrow grosgrain and wide taffeta-like ribbons prevail. Fancy-edged grosgrains are favored for all ribbon hats.
The Dry Goods Economist notes two piece jackets are hip to wrist length with semi fitted lines and low closings over silk or cotton vests. Tailored suit skirts run medium length and straight, using about 1 4 yard at the hem for 40 inch fabrics, while tunic skirts can be made from the same yardage.
The Dry Goods Economist notes shoe-top length dominates the new skirts with no signal that longer hemlines will win favor. Dressy skirts use satin, taffeta, fonlard, tussah, tricotines, serge and jersey, with white satin and wash fabrics like cotton gabardine and piques also shown. Novelty pockets are a key feature of cotton wash fabrics.

Half the men are British-born or naturalized, with former Zion mule corps members and Russian Jews among the ranks. They follow strict kosher practices and observe fast days, with Yiddish used in orders and instruction.
The Dry Goods Economist notes a chenille straw that mimics chenille fabric with exceptional softness and pliability. It can be filled or draped like fabric and often forms a large crown when combined with plain lustrous straws or satins for contrast. The braid travels to America from Japan through Paris, dyed in soft, beautiful shades.
