crosses in question were an imitation
of the German Iron Maltese cross and
sold on the Strand and other principal
thoroughfares for a penny apiece, in

tied them around the necks Of their

MONROE DOCTRINE
SACRED TO KAISER
Emperor Gives u. S. Writ
ten Word He Won't In
wade This Continent.
From The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington. Oct. 24.-Count Won
Bernstorff, the German Ambassador
here, declared to-day that he informed
the Department of State on September
3 that Germany, if victorious in the
war, will respect the principles OF the
Monroe Doctrine.
Utterances of DR.. Bernhard Dern-
burg, former Colonial Secretary of the
German government, in "a speech at
Newark on Thursday night called forth
Count Won Bernstorff's declaration to-
day. The ambassador said that he first
told either Secretary Bryan or Coun-
sellor Robert Lansing of the assur-
ances that ne had received from the
German Foreign Office about the inten-
tions of the KAISER to observe the Mon
roe Doctrine, and later submitted a
/ formal note TO that effect.
Mr.. Lansing, acting Secretary Of
State, said to-day that he did not re-
call the informal conversation with
/ Ambassador Won Bernstorf on the sub
ject, but admitted that the note in
question had been received.
The German Ambassador said the
declaration was made because of state
ments from various English sources
! that Germany, if successful, would not
respect the Monroe Doctrine and
doubtless would attempt TO make great
! colonization chemes in South America
The ambassador asserted that all such
statements were entirely false and
that his statement filed with the de-
partment made that very clear.
Lead, S. D., Oct. 24.-Secretary of
State William j.. Bryan to-day was
shown dispatch quoting Count Won
Bernstorff's statement as TO Germany
and the Monroe Doctrine. Mr.. Bryan
declined 10 comment on the dispatch,
saying:

paEtment matters in an interview"

A FRENCH idea in hunting garb is
n shown here which the practical
American may make use Of in fashion
ing her own. No American who I'M
dertakes tramping through field and
wood and over hill and valley would
consider following this model exactly.
We wear short skirts, boomers and
leggings and are prepared to tramp the
wild, not always following beaten
paths. But hunting and fishing and
tramping in the alluring out-of-doors
is not simply a pose with the Amer
lean sportSwoman; she really hunts
some, fishes considerably, and tramps
much.
The jacket in the model pictured is
ideal. Made of checked tweed in
shades OF brown, it is roomy enough
for freedom and snug enough for COM
fort, and Is not ungraceful The back
Is plain, with the fronts fulled in q
little above the belt. The sleeves, OF
the plain coat-sleeve variety, are
finished with a pointed cuff on the up
per side. The yoke overlaps the
jacket at the top. fastening on the
shoulder, and a plain turnover collar
finishes the neck
Plain machine stitching finishes all

IF YOU are casting about for inexpen-
sive Christmas gifts there is hardly
anything that makes as good a show
ing, for the smallest outlay, as the
little serving apron. OF course these
small bits Of dainty apparel may be
made Of fine materials, trimmed with
the more costly lingerie laces, and
elaborated into expensive affairs, but
these will not be any more pleasing
than palmer aprons which are equally
dainty and are made of inexpensive
cotton fabrics trimmed with sheer en-
broideries or the cheaper laces.
The weaving of cotton into exquisite
fabrics that cost little has placed a
world OF opportunities at the hand Of
the needle woman. All the fine cot
ton lawns, plain and printed, dotted
mulls and swiss, plain and printed
voiles, fancy nets and cotton mar
quisette are In line with fancy weaves
to make the frivolous little accessories
of dress and the airy house and party
gowns which women are privileged to
wear. Everyone of them is available
for the serving apron and for the
morning cap.
There is a saving in buying enough
material to cut several aprons, and
they may be made of short lengths or
pieces or remnants, because the body
of the apron is often cut In panels that
are set together with narrow val lace.
Short lengths of embroidery serve for
edgings, because they are put on with
out fullness. A pocket, decked out
with a small bow or rosette, is an
establishment and comes In handy
for the lace-bordered handkerchief.
Since II is so much the vogue for
the daughters OF the house. little and
big, or for the young hostess, to serve
the guest at tea or luncheon. the
