Girl Joins German Army As Bow

Berne, Dee. Among the recruits
at Kenitz, in West Prussia, a story
here has it, was one handsome youth
of nineteen, who got on very well with
the preliminary training and rifle prac-
tice. But one day it was discovered
that the youth was a girl. She vainly
implored the authorities to allow her
to go to the front, but was sent to
Danzig to train as hospital nurse.

Not Their Fault.

At a recent social affair the talk
turned to sentimentalism, when Con-
gresham Edward Gilmore of Massa-
chusetts was reminded of story about
Uncle Josh
Uncle Josh was comfortably light
ing his pipe in the living room one
evening when Aunt Maria glanced up
from her knitting.
JOSH softly remarked the good
woman, ''do you know that next Sun
day will be the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of our wedding?"
''Ye don't say so, Maria!" responded
Uncle Josh, pulling vigorously on his
corncob pipe. What about it?"
Nothing" answered Aunt Maria,
"onIy 1 thought maybe we ought to
kill them two Rhode Island red chick
ems"
"Say, Maria" impressively demand
ed Uncle Josh, ''how can you blame
them two Rhode Island Red chickens
fer what happened 25 years ago%-

MISSED HOME DISHES
WHY AMERICAN COULDN'T ENJOY

Benny Beebe Entirely Unable 70
Think Much of Any Country That
Couldn't Even Supply Him
With Pie.

"Home's good enough for me-home
and home food" declared Benny Bee
be, according to the Youths Compan-
ion. the week after he and his wife,
Amanda, returned from abroad. THE
things they don't know about food on
the other side-Well, you wouldn't
hardly believe it!
"Pie. now. In England, when it's
pie. it's mostly filled with veal and
ham: and when there's gooseberries or
cherries inside, and mighty good, it
amt pie at all; it's tart. Well, tart
or no tart, the Britishers come near

'em on mock cherry, and Banbury, and
Marlboro, and cocoanut cuStard,
'twan't any better. Jest ignorance.
Plain blank ignorance, poor things!
"I don't wonder you're surprised,
Mis- Adams; l was. believe in being
fair, and 1 dare say they cook the
things they know how to cook the best
way it could be done; but when they

GROWNUPS PLAY WITH BEADS
Serve to Hold Handsome Col
ored Ones for Madam.

Smart French women are not con-
tent to wear beads on their clothes
from morning to night. Beads fasci-
nate them. Taking advantage of this
fascination, MARITIME introduced beads
by the hundred for French women to
toy with, stored in great jars of trans
lucent green jade. So now in the
boudoir of the fashionable Partisan
women, there is a huge jade jar by
the side of the tea table. And this
jar is almost filled with beads of every
color in the world. While the hostess
talks to her guests over cup of tea,
she dips her hand into the jar, fills
it with beads, looks at them, and lets
them slip through her fingers.
1t is lots of fun, say the French
women who have acquired the bead
habit.
Sometimes a big electric light bulb
is sunk in the bottom of the jar and
the rays of its light shine through
the myriad colors of the glass beads
with a charming effect.

White Horse Doomed in Army.

The white charger is doomed in
army circles. Despite the prominence
such horses have gained in the past
as the mounts of famous generals, no
more will be purchased for the United
States army. Experts claim that white
horses furnish too easy target for
sharpshooters, and the quartermas-
ter's department has announced that
it will buy no more.
This does not prohibit officers from
buying white or gray steeds for their
individual use, but it is likely that the
general staff will advise that all such
be withdrawn from the service In
the near future.

and machinery. Women, on the other

Very Short Skirts.

In the new Bechoff-David models,
which an enterprising buyer was for
tunate enough to get to America, the
skirts are decidedly short, and a
striking feature of them is that in the
evening frocks there are many trains
hanging from very short skirts. Some
times the skirt slopes gradually from
the short front to the end of the long
train; sometimes the long, pointed
train hangs from a skirt that is short
all the way around. The effect is
novel.
