their escape. he explains, was that dur

were hidden in shed on peasants

Fer ten days and ten nights the ne
groes lay in fear of the Germans. BY
a mistake in the road, they had led the
animals into territory occupied by the
invaders. There they obtained the
protection OF the peasant, who told the
hostlers that II captured by the Ger
mans they would be mistaken for the
hated Turcos OF Algeria, who had been
distinguishing themselves with the
bayonet work. Hence the pair would
be tried by a drumhead court and shot
dead. The peasant promised to look
after the horses and to bring food to
the hfders. During the ten days Chlans
rode by frequently but they did not
discover the racers or their guar
dians.

consequence to the short full skirt.
"Of course. the question in the mind
Of every woman IL: How short and
how wide should my skirt be made?
From. time to time you will see on the
streets women wearing skirts eight to
ten inches short. This will run in the
cheaper manufactured lines. The size
and figure Of the wearers should be
taken into consideration hut in no
case should skirt be worn shorter
than six inches. A smoothly fitted cot
ton petticoat at about two yards in
width. is beautiful If scalloped and
buttonholed or embroidered. The re-
turning popularity of this garment at
this time will furnish employment for
women workers in their homes and
will help the cotton Industry more
