no doubt the Pope would be pleased to

The Pope Is believed to feel that the
cause of civilizat ton would be served

Nevertheless. because Of the deep
seated suspicion of the allies toward
the German peace talk, this Govern
ment feels bound to move, II at all, with
1reat care. It will do nothing unless
the time is uropitious. But at the same
time. there is known to be strong hope
that before many months 1t will be pos

count" TOO ABSENT MINDED
Principal Reason Why One inferna-

Henry P. Dawson of the Morgan
banking firm was talking about inter-
national marriages:
WELL" he said, 81 know of one in
ternational marriage that failed,
thank goodness, to come off. The girl
was the daughter of Paint Rock
millionaire. The man was count, a
Spanish count.
"The count was absent minded.
That was his undoing. The girls
father gave dinner for him in the
Paint Rock castle overlooking Paint
Rock, and at the dinners end the
count got up to light cigarette, and
then, by jove, started to remove the
plates.
'The guests watched him in an
open-mouthed silence. His napkin
slung over his arm, he had got nearly
all the plates removed when his mil
lionaire host said to him gently:
awake up, George. You're not
waiting IN the beanery now, you
know. You're pretending you're a
count in Paint Rock. Wake up, man.

NEW IDEA IN DECORATION
People Have Learned the Value Of
Black and White as Means Of Sc.
curing Color Effect.

Black and white have taken the
world Of interior decorations by
storm. And the combination isn't
only fad; it promises to last, now
that we have discovered how much
character to articles and rooms can be
given by this color effect Even the
bedroom has not been spared--or
1t has been honored, whichever way
you look at it-with the attention OF
black and white, and we find black
rugs on white floors, and white beds
and furniture and woodwork, and
sometimes black curtains, and now
there have been introduced the most
charming lingerie sets for the bed,
dressing-table, dresser and chiffonier,
the set sometimes including from one
to half dozen boudoir pillows. That
part of the lingerie used for the bed
includes a spread, bolster slip and
pillows or shams. If bolster roll is
used, then only the bolster throw is
needed, doing away with the neces-
sity of the bolster slips and shams.
The black-and-white lingerie bed
room set may be embroidered in any
design that you would use for the
all-white embroidery set. The ma
terial used is rather heavy white
linen. The design is worked in black
mercerized cotton. 1t must be very
carefully worked on the wrong side,
few, If any, connecting threads being
used when passing from one design
to another.
If you do not wish to use black
curtains at the window, lawn cur
tains with black figures are good sub
stitutes. If shades are used with the
curtains, they should be either all
black or white. A black-and-white
carpet may be used instead of all
white or all black. Black carpet with
white rugs, or vice versa, is also eff
fective. The boudoir pillows should
be of white embroidered in black
They should not, however, be placed
over black pillows, as in the case OF
pink or blue pillows. White pillows
must be used for the purpose or the
pillow slips will look soiled. A black
and-white room would prove pleasing
to a man.

ALL HAVE MILITARY EFFECT
Cut and Trimming Of New Blouses
Are Alike In This Respect In
the Seasons Styles.

The military effect of trigness and
trimness is carried out not only on the
cut Of the new blouses, but also in
their trimmings. Edges are bound
with narrow braid. buttons are used
in close ranks and bows and all sorts
of silk loops and ornaments simulate
military frogs. A stunning blouse Of
coffee-colored golden-rod satin--the
supple, soft satin so liked for blouse
wear-has buttoned-up collar In
choker style ana link cuffs fastened
with white pearl buttons. Four
frogs" Of white silk cord. with loops
caught over immense ball buttons Gov
cred with the coffee satin, appear to
fasten the blouse fronts, but under.
meath are hidden snap fasteners, a
safer and saner closing than the wide
ly separated frogs. A blouse of dutch
blue georgette crepe is trimmed with
black edge binding braid and small
eagle brass buttons in true military
style.
One OF the most striking new i'm
ported blouses. fresh from Paris, is
charming model of sheerest white
wolfe, embroidered with big yellow
conferred daisies, and smart black
tie. Pintucking and hemstitching ana
small motifs Of hand embroidery add
their quota Of prettiness to the new
spring blouses,. which are so soft In
material and so delectahle in color.

The Investigations have confirmed
the opinion that the eruption of two

siderable damage to government and

melting of the snow on the peak,
