WORLDS JUDGMENT AT FAULT
Writer Claims That Proper Apprecia.
ton of Lincoln Has Never
Been Expressed.

f@ RULY Lincoln, one of the
ISH HM greatest. of observers, was
ISN1 EEzl himself least truly observed.
icH&I God had built him in the
backyard of the nation, and
there, wrapped in homely guise,
had preserved and matured his
pure humanity He was heard, but
seems rarely, if ever, to have been truly
seen. The reports we have of him do
not satisfy, do not Justify themselves,
are inconsistent. The eastern, OH
world eye could not read beyond the
queer hat, bad tailoring and boots you
could not now give away-and he was

of sound that volume will start tear
more quickly than quality of tone. But
it is surprising that professional OBJ
servers, artists and writer's alike, have
drawn and redrawn an. untrue picture
of this man. Out of the hundreds OF
Lincoln's pictures, few are reliable,

The yoke is joined to the skirt of
the gown by narrow band of en-
broiderod beading. Through this a
ribbon Is run, which ties at the front
in small bow. This ribbon serves
to adjust the gown to the figure.
For such pretty night robes, sepa-
rate bows and rosettes of ribbon are
provided. They are to be pinned on
with very small safety pins. Little
rosettes for the top of the sleeves,
matching the other ribbons, but
without hanging ends, may be added
by way of elaboration.

MONTENECRO'S NEED
Larger Territory and More Peo-
pIe-It Wants Money.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Plamenatz
Is Visiting Certain European Cap
itaIs to Negotiate Loan for
His Government.

Paris-M. Plamenatz, the Montene-
grin minister of foreign affairs, who
as charge daffairs at Constantinople
| in October, 1912, did more than any
one else to precipitate the war of the
allies against Turkey, Is now visiting
certain European capitals to negotiate
a loan for his government. Here and
in London he is said to have met with
pronounced success. He is also very
hopeful of Rome to make up any bal
ance that may be desired.
Although the feats of arms per
formed by the Montenengrin army
were not so conspicuous as those OF
the other allies, yet this army pre-
vented the Turks in the northwest
from cutting off the Servians and
Greeks and lost about one-third of its
total of $4,000 by so doing. The ter
rible significance of this mortality Is
realized when it is remembered that
before the war the entire population
of Montenegro numbered about $780,
900.

certain territories have been brought

These include a great part Of the
Sanjak of Novi Bazaar and the whole
Of the Sanjaks of Ipek and Jokova
This has had the effect of doubling
the population, making it about $780,
600, while at the same time 1t has
added materially to the strength OF
the country. In speaking of his
mission, M. Plamenatz says:
For five centuries we Montenegrins
have fought for Christian liberation,
and now, so far as Europe Is con-
cerned, we see our task accomplished.
1t has not been accomplished, how
ever, without considerable sacrifices.

design, too, is appropriate to older
women, as we'll as to the youthful
wearer. In fact, the difference in
flounced gowns for young or older
wearers is discernible in finishing
touches, rather than in design. The
foundation skirts are plain and
straight. The flounces are adjusted
in differing poses. Sometimes, as in
the gown pictured, they sag toward
the back, but in a good number this
is reversed and they rise toward the
back
The waist line is about the normal
in most of them. While waists are

fects. Ribbons are conspicuous, and
the tango" shades, warm nasturtium
yellows, are specially liked.
Almost anyone who makes any pre-
tentions to sewing, or has any faith
in her own ability, can put together a
fiounced dress. The trick seems to be
in adjusting the flowers at the right
SLOPE with even fullness, and in not
getting them too full
The three flounced skirt, having the
flounces shaped, is displayed for heav.
ier fabrics, and is wonderfully attrac.

There is a world of light, airy fab
RIGS fascinating in design, and q world
of filmy laces, moderate in price, so
that the flounced gown has a pleasant
future before it, Limp fabrics are
chosen that fall to the figure, SO that
fiounces do not mean bulkiness. That
is tabooed, and is likely to remain So

first meeting with Lincoln in Illinois

about his first ancestor. He said,

making up the smart and novel model
pictured here. It promises well among
the new styles that are bidding for
favor It is one Of the corsetless mod
els. witness it's broad swathing at the
waist line.
Such bouffant designs are impossible
for the short and plump figure. There
are others equally new, with flounces
and pannier effects, that in reality do
not shorten the figure. and the plump
woman must abjure styles which make
her look shapeless, confning herself
to those designed for her. But the
new gowns, to be worn over the new
oorsets which hardly extend above
the waist line-or over no corset,
have demonstrated one thing The
stout figure looks less stout in the
easy styles than it did in tight high
bust corset.
There are practically no plain skirts
with entirely unbroken lines among
the new spring models, Nearly all of
them have drapery which adds width
to the hip line. Just how successful
the puckerings and drapings will be-

most effective and beautiful embeiiish-

Short curls and light fringes of hair
about the face are noticeable in these
styles. These and the short, soft neck
