Berlin to Brussels saying Germany was

The British government was off,
cially notified by Belgium today that
German troops had invaded Belgium
and that the violation of that country's
neutrality, which the British foreign
secretary yesterday said must be fol-
lowed by action on the part of Great
Britain had become an accomplished
fact
Definite announcement of Great Brit
ian's actions under this grave affront
was expected in the house OF commons
this afternoon.
In the meantime John Burns has re-
signed from the British cabinet and
Viscount Morley's absence from It's
feeting today indicated that this other
strong pea > advocate had also deter
minel to leave his colleagues.
Diplomatic relations had already
been severed last night between Ger
many and France, and the German am
bassador in leaving Paris informed the
French premier that Germany regard
ed herself as in a state of war with
France.

and Germany was rapidly followed by

GOOD DEFINITION OF "cHlc"
Visiting Enelishman Well Describes
the Elegant Women Who Are the
Pride of New York.

Lord Morley, at luncheon at the
Ritz-Carlton in New York. said of the
American woman:
THE American woman as she
glides in her motorcar down Fifth
avenue, or as she hurries from her
jewelers. to Sherry's. is perhaps the
most elegant woman in the world
Fifth avenue is perhaps the most
elegant street in the world. Broad
and straight. bordered with splendid
shops and hotels Of pale stone,
drenched with sunshine and rooted
with a luminous blue sky, Fifth ave-
nue. is a fitting promenade for Ameri-
cas- beautiful women.
But these women dress, perhaps,
little too boldly for the street. Take,
for example, their tight gowns with
slit at the side-a sir through which
advances and retreats a slim foot in
patent leather shoe and a supple
ankle in a gossanler silk stocking.
This is perhaps too overwhelming q
costume for street wear.
yet in such a costume the Ameri-
can woman is undoubtedly chic. And
this raises the question: What is
CHIEF"
Lord Morley paused and smiled.
Then he continued:
chic, | would reply, is the art OF
wearing a bold gown modestly."

com5ed, the cricket clipped off all the
hair close to the roots, and he wrapped
the red ribbon around a bare tail.
When night came, the possum
went to the council house where the
dance was to be, and he found the
best seat ready for him. so, my
friend Rabbit keeps his word" said
the 'possum.
His turn came in the dance, and the
'possum loosened the red ribbon from
his tail and stepped into the middle
Of The floor The drummers began to
beat, and the 'possum began to dance
and sing, ooh. see my beautiful tall"
Every one shouted when they heard
what the 'possum sang. so he danced
around the circle again, singing See
What Fine Color My Tail Has.
Again, all of the animals shouted, and
the 'possum danced around third
time, and he sang, "See How My Tail
Sweeps the Ground"
This time the animals shouted louder
than ever, and once more the 'possum
danced and Gang, See How Fine the
Fur of My Tail Isl" Then every one
laughed so long that the 'possum Won
dered what they were laughing at
Some one said, Look at your beauti-
full tall" and the 'possum, for the
first time, looked down at his tail.
Not q single hair was left on tit
was as bare as lizard! The 'possum
was so surprised and ashamed that he
could not say word; he just rolled
over on the ground and grinned! And
that is what he does to this day when
he is taken by surprise.

QUEER LITTLE PRISON BIRD
How Beautiful Variety of HornbiIl
Becomes Prisoner During
Nesting Time.

Sylvia and Betty drew their chairs
close 20 Uncle Ellis.
ooh, yes" he said, 81 promised to
tell you about the queer little prison
bird. Well, it's home is in Africa, and
it is called prison bird because it is
really a prisoner during its nesting
time.
Father and mother prison bird
build their nest in the hollow of a
tree; they go through an opening in
the bark. With downy feathers
plucked from her own breast, the
mother prison bird makes the nest
quite cozy and comfortable; then she
enters and settles down in it.
Father bird at once pfasters up the
entrance, leaving an opening that ex
actly suits the form of his beak The
opening is only large enough for ali
and food to pass through.
Mother bird lays her eggs, matches
them, and stays with the baby birds
until they are old enough to fly.
During all Of that time, which is
said to be several weeks, the father
bird stays near his home, and keeps
a faithful watch. Without fail he
brings food to her as often as she
needs it.
ut is sad thing if the father bird
dies, or in any way is kept from TAX
ing care of his family. The mother
cannot free herself, and so she and
the baby birds starve to death.
"As soon as the baby birds are able
to fly, the father tears away the bar
rier to his home with his beak, and
sets them and their mother free, and
the little prisoners greet the light and
the unknown world.
1T seems to me that the father bird
must be glad when the task of feeding
his mate and babies is over"
HAS the prison bird any other
name, and is ii a pretty bird?" Sylvia
asked. when Uncle Ellis had finished.
Yes said Uncle Ellis, 1T is kind
of hornbiIl, and it is a beautiful bird"

GAY FRILLs IN THE BouDolR
Dainty and Feminine Are the Ruff
ties Just Now Being So Generously
Made Use OF.

AS ruf1les become more and more
gin to make reappearance in fem
mine boudoirs. Ruled window cur
tains, bed-spreads and pillow covers
are replacing the straight bordered eff
fects of the last few years and Eli-
lady's room promises to become as
gayly frilled sanctum as it was a
half century ago.
Ruled pillow cases are especially
dainty and feminine and they give the
Anal touch Of luxury to the bed. II
one does not desire to sleep on the
beruffied pillows they may be ex-
changed at night for smaller pillows
in plain linen Sins. or the ruffied slips
may be removed and put on again next
morning. This takes but 6 moment II
the slip covers are roomy enough to
sc over the pillow without tugging
Two or three snap buttons sewed
along the opening under the ruffies
will hold the dainty covers smoothly
IN place and may be unfastened In a
twinkling at night.
Rather narrow ruffles give the best
elective and half inches should
be the limit of width-and the hens
should be very narrow also. Make
the ruffle full enough to be fiuted by
the laundress and the effect will be
very crisp and smart Such pillow
covers should be square, rather than
oblong, and the pillow may be stuffed
into the square. the snap buttons

ties must go around all four sides of
each cover. and the bed thus dressed
will need no pillow shams, bolster roll
or other device to hide the sleeping
pillows from view.

Long time ago, the 'possum had
beautiful bushy tail. He was so proud
of it that he colnbed it out every morn
ing and made up some songs about it.
The rabbit, who had only stump of
a tail after the bear pulled most OF 1t
off, got very jealous of the 'possum
on account of his tail, and decided to
play trick OH him.
There was to be a great council and
dance of the animals, and the rabbit
said that he would invite every one to
come. He vent to tell the 'possum,
and the possum said
Il will come if you will be sure to
have a special seat for me. l have
such a fine tail that l ought to sit
where every one can have a good look
at me-"
Very well, said the rabbit. 81 will
have the best seat for you; also,
will send you some one to comb and
dress your tail for you" The postum
was pleased, and thanked the rabbit.
Then the rabbit went to the cricket,
who was such good hair cutter that
he was called the barber. you go
and dress the 'possum's tail for the
Dance" the rabbit said to him; and
the rabbit told the cricket just what
to do.
Next morning, the cricket went to
the possum's house and said that he
had come to fix him up for the dance.
you just stretch out and take it
easy" said the cricket So the pos
sum stretched himself out, shut his
eyes, and let the cricket do his work.
Now the cricket combed out the
'possum's tail and wrapped a red rib

to the hands of libertist and COM
poser in the Greek tragic story of
Icarus, who was killed while attempt
ing fight, and it is on this ancient
legend that the aviation opera, which
was produced at Nice recently, was
based The author of the libretto, NJ
Henri Cain, shows Icarus in the cen
ter of the maze constructed by his
father, Daedalus. Despising the
allurements of nymphs and naiads.
the youth makes a pair of wings with
the feathers of an eagle and tries to
fl from the top of cliff In the final
scene, in which Icarus dies from his
fall, the genius Of science appears
and In vision shows him the final
conquest of the air.
To show how the opera is identified
with modern aviation it may be added
that the music was composed by M.
Henri. Deutsch de la Meurthe, the
wealthy Frenchman who was one Of
the first to have an airship built for
his own use.
