In Lorraine, which were not defended,
as 1t might be possible that the en-
thusiasm and popular clamor of the
French would force an invasion of
their lost provinces of Alsace-Lor-
raine. But 1t is highly improbable that
a determined advance in force will be
made on this line even should popular
clamor demand it.
The German Plans.
Germany on the other hand has not
only France to attend to but Russia
as well. In considering her plans she

is probable that Germany is acting
with rapidity against Russia.
What press dispatches have drifted
through indicate that 10000 Germans
landed some three days ago between
Hango and Helsingfors in Finland.
This force in all probability consisted
of one army corps and one cavalry d.
vision, some additional heavy artillery,
engineers and aeronautical troops.
From Warsaw to St. Petersburg
there are IL Russian corps, but as
these are not fully modified one Ger
man corps is probably as strong In
men as two Russian corps just now.
The German corps which landed In
Finland and therefore behind st. Pc
tersburg is undoubtedly designed to
hold the four Russian corps in that
vicinity to keep them from going to
the assistance of the other Russian
corps further to the south.
Again it was reported that the Rus
sian government has decided to evacu-
ate Warsaw, which was officially de-
MED at ST. Petersburg. Weighing this
evidence. it seems probable that
there has been German advance from
Intersburg in the direction OF Wilma
to hold the four Russian corps sta
toned in that district from doing any
harm or going to any other place.
Possibly three German corps, whose
stations are close to Wilma, are en-
gagged In that operation.
If the vigorous fighting of these four
German corps, the one In Finland and
the three against Wilma, Is strong
enough, eight Russian corps might
probably be isolated and fully occu-
pied with their own affairs and not
able to move or concentrate anywhere
else.

DECORATION FOR PIN BOX

Dainty Woman

One of the fetching little trifies that
the amateur artist may speedily deco
rate is the duplicate pin box. This
is simply a SKA 12-inch box, fitted
across one side with two tiny drawers
that are pulled out by means of mar
row ribbons, bowknotted and affixed
where knob ordinarily would be- The
drawers and all of the box excepting
it's bottom are covered smoothly with
white or pale-toned satin and deco

To the top surface, set In the midst Of
painted garland, is stuck a circular
pincushion with shirred sides that pun
out from the fiat top and bottom. This
cushion, which is fully two inches
deep, is for hatpins, while the tiny
drawers are intended to accommodate
black and white toilet pins.

Germany Might Prove Turning
Point of War-Importance
of Paris and Berlin.

Notwithstanding the meagerness OF
details from Europe, the strategical
problems for Germany and France
have become more apparent during
the last few days.
France must protect her frontier
against German invasion and at the
same time she must proceed as fast
as possible towards the Kiel canal
That canal is apt to prove the turn
ing point In the war IL the triple en-
tente gets control of it, according to a
military expert writing for the Chica-

LITTLE ONES AT THE TABLE
Never Too Early to Teach Them
Proper Manners-Some Bibs That
VIII Please Them.

Old-fashioned bibs are coming in
as baby's mother Sometimes they
are in outline and sometimes in cross
stitch; rarely are they in a stitch more
elaborate. They are worked in differ
ent colors, sometimes two colors be-
ing on one bib. Old damask towels
Is always good place in a worn out
towel, and bib can be made of it in
no time; and a little design in the
form of dog, horse, ETC., or a nur-
sery-rhyme scene can be embroidered
on 1t almost before you can count ten.
These bibs are just as much fun for
baby as a picture book, If they are
made properly.
Bids are excellent and perfectly
proper things for young children; but
do not make the mistake of forcing a
child to wear q bib when it is old
enough to learn the use of napkin.
For time the napkin may be fast
ened about the neck of the child, but
as soon as possible he should be
taught that cultured people never fas-
ten their napkins to their collars or
dresses, but allow them to lie across
the knees
Teach the children, too, never to
crumple their napkins. A napkin, aft
er being used, should be almost as i'm
maculate as before it Is unfolded, with
the exception that the folds are loose
while and after using 1t Is never too
young to learn table manners.

NOVELTY FOR SUMMER |
HOSTESS CAN PLEASE GUESTS
WITH JAPANESE LAWN PARTY.
Easy to Give Proper Color" to Such
an Entertainment = Decorations
Probably Most Effective in
the Evening.

In planning a lawn party for these
midsummer days, the hostess turns
naturally to the Land of the Flow
ering Almond for suggestions. II she
aims at novelty the whole affair is
given a Japanese aspect throughout,
even to the costumes of those pres
emit. What could be more appropri-
ate for hot weather wear than the
comfy" Towering kimonos Of silk or
crepe that the little yellow people
wear SO effectively? OF course, the
men might raise something of fuss.
for there is nothing the masculine
hates more fervently than dressing
up but perhaps even mere man
would prove amenable to persuasion
il the party were held under the pro-
tecting shades Of evening.
For the Japanese lawn party the
piazza generally provides basis for
the decorative scheme. Japanese mat
ting covers the floor and an arrange
ment OF Japanese umbrellas COM
bined with American and Japanese
flags, In paper, ornaments the ceiling.
For the rest the whole porch may
be turned into grove Of cherry bios

and shrubs in the garden, Or a tenn

per, wire and cotton batting may be
suspended on silken threads from the
trees or poised lightly by means of
fine wire on the floral sprays. These
winged creatures give a very pretty
effect as they sway to and fro in the
breeze
Then, to add brilliancy to the scene,
Japanese lanterns, large and small,
must be hung wherever there Is a
hanging space. The newest of these
to American eyes are the grotesque
fish lanterns, made to represent the
Japanese fish god. The lanterns, of
course, are lighted only in the eve
ming. but they present striking eff
feet even under daylight, especially
when interspersed with big peonies
made Of white or crimson crepe paper.
1t Is pretty custom to present each
guest on arriving with a Japanese fan
or at an afternoon party with both
fan and umbrella. Also there are num-
berless curios costing anywhere from
five to fifty cents apiece. which may
be given away as souvenirs or as
prizes If games are played Dwarf
Japanese plants, growing in little jar
dinieres Of glazed ware, are also very
desirable for either purpose
Refreshments should be served from
Japanese trays, with Japanese paper
hoilies and napkins. The correct
viands are waters and sweetmeats Of
various kinds, with Japan tea, either
hot or iced, and sake, Japanese drink
made from rice.

kiei Canal Big Factor.
The Kiel canal is the deciding fac
tor in the control of the sea- 1t is 800
miles from Namur Many Of Germany
great supply points are in the interval
between. An advance on this line
would be near the sea, where England
could help with her ships. Once the
Kiel canal is captured anninilation of
the German fleet might result, which
would give command Of the Baltic sea
to France and her allies and allow the
unrestricted transport OF Russian
troops and material of war to the
north German coast
It therefore would appear that the
strategy of France will aim at the cap
ture of the Kiel canal, because 1t Is
the most important point strategically
which Germany possesses. By this
line of action France would utilize to
the utmost England's great sea power
IN addition. by direct invasion in
the direction of the Kiei canal France
would cover Paris and her communi-
cations better than by any other route.
An advance via Mulhausen and Strass-
burg would be extremely dangerous
and just what the Germans would like
TO see France do. Hence we see why

by bretelles or a waistcoat. These

should always be in harmony with the
