French Dragon Tells of Battle
With Germans.
Pomeranian Regiment Makes Desper-
ate Fight to Retain Standard
Sergeant Holds Banner Alone
After Comrades Die.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs.

Omitted Press correspondent
Paris.-AIthough regimental stand
ards are no longer carried in the fore
front of the battle, modern methods OF
warfare have not altogether eliminat-
ed those picturesque fights for the
flag" dear to the heart of the noyellst
and painter. Most Of the French and
German regiments carry their coiors
with them. and there have been sew
eral desperate fights for these s1iken
trophies. the fiercest recorded being
that for the standard of the Sixth
Pomeranian regiment, which now
hangs in the chapel Of the lnval1des
for the inspection of French sight
seers. The story Of its capture is tolo
by a French dragon whose regiment
brought back the trophy.
"JJnder a heavy shell fire" he said,
"our guns supporting the dragons hao
to move to another position, and the
enemy thinking that we were In re-
treat hurried their advance, the sixth
Pomeranians coming up at the double.
Suddenly three large shrapnel sneiis
from their own guns burst over the
regiment, doing terrible execution ana
throwing the whole column into con-
fusion.
eft was the right moment for u.s.

To Clean Metallic Lace.

A fine powder should be made Of
stale breadcrumbs and ordinary wash
ing blue, which should be then rubbed
into the lace first laid over clean
CLOTH with the finger tip till it be-
comes quite bright. Next take piece
of clean. soft, old flannel and very
lightly brush over the lace until all the
crumbs are off. Finally rub the lace
gently with piece Of soft crimson
velvet, after which it is as bright
and as good as when it was new. If
it has got very much pulled out Of
shape do not attempt to press it right
with flatiron. The only way Is, be-
fore cleaning, to gently and firmly pull
the lace into shape so far as is pos
sible. In the case of curled points
they can be gently pulled out and
stuck down with pin into position on
the pad Of linen.

all the man employees are in the
army.
Thus when about a dozen uhlans
came and lodged at the farm there
was no able-bodied man to protect the
women. The uhlans ate and drank
heartily, then began to make remarks
which frightened the mother, who ran
to hide In the cellar, where she had
already concealed~her two daughters.
Presently the uhlans began to search
the house. One came down the first
steps to the cellar and shouted in
French:
See here, madame. were there no
woman domestics on this farm?
Where are they?"
Terrified, the daughters crouched
behind large barrel Seeing only
the mother the uhlan disappeared and
all went away.
Nothing Is more remarkable than
the simplicity with which the coun-
try people relate their terrible expe-
r1ences. They utter no ordinations
Of horror or dread, and one feels that
they are incapable of inventing the
details. They merely tell what they
have seen or heard in the same quiet
tone with which you might remark
that you had mutton chop for lunch

COSTUME FOR THE WINTER
OF as Much Importance to the Woman
of Fashion as Are Those of
Summer.

For winter sports the girl must be
just as smartly equipped as during
the summer days, when she was so
immaculate in white linen and buck
skin.
The winter girl is a trim figure In
her sporting clothes. She wears a
short, heavy skirt, preferably of some
dark wooden material; heavy jersey,
of white angora, trimmed with huge
fur collar, and on her head is a jaunty
little hat. Some of the newest OF
these winter sporting hats are made
of chamois, warm and durable ma
terial; also adjustable to many differ
ent shapes. Often the cap is in the
natural chamois shade, a light yell
low, color particularly becoming
to brunettes. Sometimes it is dyed
to match the skirt of the costume,
or again, it is In some brilliant shade,
supplying brilliant touch of color
to the whole outfit
A new thing in sporting equipment
is the fur trimmed jersey. This is a
Partisan idea, which originated in the
summer and has been carried on into
the winter outfits. Bands of skunk,
fox, mink or even sable trim the new
est sweaters and often a huge collar
and cuffs of the fur are used instead
of bands

PRESERVES THE GOWN
EVENING DRESS HANGER ALSO A
DAINTY TRlFLE.
Work May Easily Be Done a. Home
by Anyone Who Is at All Handy
in Use OF the
Needle.

The evening dress hanger is a very
dainty affair, and is bit of work that
can be made entirely at home by any
enc who is handy with the needle.
TIE frame is strong piece of wire
bent into heart shape, ending with
a nook at the top, but before bending
1t into shape it must be covered From
the hook to the point of the heart
should be about twelve inches. Four
feet of wire will make the heart, ex-
elusive of the hook, which should be of
the wire twisted, seeing a thin wire is
used. The covering is of inch-wide pink
satin ribbon, two lengths being placed
back to back and sewed through twice
It's entire length to make a casing
through which the wire is run Five
yards of ribbon will be necessary, as it
Is fulled over the wire, which creates
littl, frills on either edge.
If wider frills are desired use a
wider ribbon. The hook is just twisted
with the ribbon and a bow of wider rib
bon is sewed at its base, from which
depend strands of pink baby ribbon
supporting tiny scent sachets, writes
Helen Howe in the Boston Globe. The
advantage of this improved holder
compared with the wooden frame is it's
lightness. The shoulders do not slip
from the hanger; sleeves can be
pinned to the ribbon cover should they
be of heavy beads; also the dress can
be pinned at the belt to the point Of
the heart should it be necessary Some
times heavy sash or ornament will
drag a gown when hung upon the ordi-
nary holder.
Speaking Of the ordinary holder, I
see changes there, too, and, in my opin-
ion. for the better. Tapestry is used
for the covering after padding, instead
of the daintier ribbons, which quickly
soil and look badly. A hanger, COW
cred in rich, deep tones of tapestry,
will be joy forever. The craze for
the French gilt has reached the pro-
sale hangers, and after the tapestry is
shirred over the padded wooden frame
border of tiny roses in French gilt
is set all around as decoration.

Black Innings Used.

1t is interesting to note that black
satin Innings are being introduced on
many of the new tailored models-on
almost all the smart coats made of
navy cloth or serge, and also on coats
in light colors. There is something
very attractive about a black satin
lining in serge suit of the classic
order. Such lining supplies the lit
tie mannish touch which makes the
suit original and a thing apart from
the ready-made costumes which are to
be found in the stores. A little while
ago everyone wanted white satin lin
ings; then 1t became the fashion to
have fancy brocade or shot taffeta.

STRUGGLE FOR FLAG

terrible saber cash across the head.
1t disappeared for a moment in a tur-
moil of horses and struggling men,
and then we saw it again waved de-
family by a German sergeant, who
with three other men fought them
selves free. They retreated shoulder
to shoulder a few yards, and then,
with his back to tree, the old ser
geant was left alone with the flag.
But he sank to the ground moment
later, his chest trans6xed by lance.
He was a brave man.

A touch of handwork upon net ruff

Notes and Novelties.

The new dancing bloomers that take
the place of pettcoat are such a sat
isfying comfortable garment that they
are really supplanting the petticoat for
wear beneath dresses other than dane
ing frocks.
This is an age when comfort and COM
mon sense unite with the artistic in dress
and. so long as modesty is not outraged,
iDnovations that mean tightening of the
weight of the clothing and unhampered
movements are to be welcomed.
There is something quite attractive in
the black and white wicker furniture.
They are woven that the alternate
colors are formed into broad bands or
squares to decorate the chairs tables,
couches and other picturesque things for
home decorating and furnishing.
1t is to be hoped that the creators of the
black and white wicker will make the
unusual pieces of furniture that give har-
rnony to piazza and porch furnishings.
These include tine pretty wicker trays
ported from Japan. and the porch pole
vases and various flower holders. Of
course, these can be had in new designs
in smoked bamboo: but the latter would
not harmonic well with the black and
white wicker.
Poiret swayer of fashions has found
time between designing gowns to design

are cherry red, orange, green. yellow and

dresses of the diners will have to match
