ARABIC
HIT A
Mine?
BY CARL ACKERMANN.
Copyright, 1918, United Press
copyright, Great Brittany

BERLIN, Aug. 23.-Foreign
department officials expressed
doubt today that 1t had been a
German submarine which sank
the Arabic.
One of the versions to which
they cling is that the Arabic may
have struck a mine.
One of the officials to whom I
talked said: mo one saw a sub
marine. The captain says he saw
the torpedo 800 feet away, but
this seems improbable.
There are so many possibili-
ties" he concluded, that / hope
the United States won't jump TO
any conclusion until an investiga-
ton determines the fact beyond
doubt"
He produced a Copenhagen dis
patch that there we're many mines
floating about England.

THE LACE CORSET COVER.

Now that so many women have adopted the smooth, well fitting brassiere in place of the old-fash- toned, tight fitting corset cover, the next need has been cover for the brassere.
 That they shall take up as little room as possible. and not defeat the purpose of the brassiere, these covers are made of the thinne5r, sheerest materials. They are eX- quisitely dainty as well, and quite pretty enough to wear under ones loveliest frocks.
 Some of the most delicate and fine covers are of filmy nets or point d'eSprit. Others are made of sheer, fine laces-even chiffon n some instances. Lace insertion :, wee tucks and ribbons decorate them. and most of them have rib bon straps over the shoulders.

Ten Kinds of Fat Women

 The woman with the figure tha. runs to breadth and flatness, floun derlike, is the opposite of this type and should dress differently. She can wear hard. shining materials 5 without looking grotesque and her clothes may be worn tighter. to bring out the lacking roundness Unless she happens to be very short she need not wear hats built up.
 The stout woman with the short neck must make the most of every scrap of neck she has. Whatever the fashion she should not wear collars. Nobody will ever miss them from her, that short isthmus that joins her head and body. She should have her gowns cut square or pointed in front. The Dutch necked flock is the best friend in her wardrobe. Though she cannot wear the high, lacey, transparent collars that make some women look so stately and trig, she has tn, compensation of revealing her neck and such a revelation makes a wo man look years younger.
 The stout woman with the long neck is likely to have thin neck too, and this can be hidden by snus collars. Such woman should wear her hair rather flat on top of her head
 The stoutness most dreaded, 1 think is that which runs, as l have said, to breadth and heaviness of hips. There is only one thing to be done get rid of the appear to be done-get rid of the appear a great deal for the heavy hipped woman.

 Thin women are commonplace. l. woman is thin she is thin anu that's all there is to it. There's no variety about her. She's just plain thin. Fat women-or stout do hate that word ''fat'-are O. many types. at least ten.
 There's the stout woman who has round figure.
 There's the stout woman with a broad, flat figure.
 You have seen the stout woman with thu short neck.

 Another type who hasn't so much work cut out for her is the woman with relatively small hips but who has very full chest.
 There's the short. stout woman and the tall, stout woman.
 There's a stout woman with d thin face that doesn't match her body, and a stout woman with a round face that does.
 Every ore of these women has to dress differently

Timely Hints for the Housewife

Every country and every race ing chicken. One might well say that housewife or a cook coull be known by the way she sends d chicken to the table, and the fol lowing recipes are taken from a well known journal:
 One of the favorite American me thods of servi.g chicken is in the form known as chicken salad" This calls for a boiled chicken, pref erably only the white meat, and generous head of celery. The chicken and the celery should be cut into small cubes, and just before serv- ing it should be mixed with mayon- naise dressing and garnished with olives and capers Usually this salad is served on lettuce or TO- maine leaves. but for a luncheon or supper dish there is nothing so delicious as chicken salad sand wiches. To make these a generous portion of the chicken salad mix ture should be spread between slices of buttered bread.
 THE CHINESE WAY.
 The Chinese cook always, or near ly always. turns his chicken int chop suey, although that national dish may be made with pork instead of chicken. The first thing to do in making chicken chop suey is to boil the chicken until tender, bl: not until it falls apart. Then cut all the meat into thin strips and season with black pepper and cay enne and fry in hot lard. Add slices of onion, ham, celery, mush rooms cut fine, and green bean sprouts, if you can get any. When these ingredients have been fried add one-half cupful of chicken stock Chinese sauce, which can be purchased at the grocery store, and let simmer When done. thicken the  spoonfuls of cream and chopped parsley. Serve hot with boiled rice,
 Another Chinese mothed of sery- ing chicken which cannot be so easily initiated by the American housewife Is accomplished in this wise: Cut fat chicken in pieces at the joints season with all kinds of condiments and put into sauce pan Add some chopped ham and some bamboo sprouts, one chopped onion and handful of walnut meats. Cover with hot water and stew slowly until tender. Add so,ne Chinese sauce and parsley. Serve with shredded pineapple.

COSTS LITTLE TO BE CHEERFUL

What is there in human nature that makes Us grumble at litt'e clouds instead of rejoicing in the sunlight?
 All are inclined to report incivili ties, to ignore courtesies When a policeman leaves his post to direct us, do we thank him? Rarely. That's what he's paid for we say.
 That is not what he's paid for, He has gone out of his line of duty to be of assistance, and the least he should receive would be a chee-, full "Thank you"
 Put yourself in the policeman S place, or in the street car conduct or's, or the elevator mans or the letter carrier 's-any one of the many with whom we have daily contact Consider the thousand annoying things that happen, think of the unpleasant duties many are called upon to perform.
 And consider how little it costs to be cheerful, to smile, to give 0 little nod of appreciation, or to call out a pleasant Thank you" Try it. and see the result. See the tired mouth relax into smile, the weary eyes brighten. Notice how the man or the woman-watches for you the next day, how pitifully eager he or she is for the unaccustomed greeting.
 Try it just for wek, and every man, woman and child with whom you come into daily association Will be your devoted friend. You will be happy too, for happiness and cheerfulness are contagious.
 Forget to be a grouch for a week and you will wonder how you could ever have been disagreeable-Ex

who has charmed and enchanted an entire generation.
 That woman felt like talking that day and she talked. Stories, anec- dotes, incidents-it would have been worth fortune to any publisher to get her to write down the things sre told Us and give him permission
 publish them.
 She talked about kings, coal -heav CTS, baker with smutch of flour ur"rl his impassioned cheek, the greatest actor of his time. a prince in exile, a murderer condemned to he hanged-she had letters from all of them, and love letters at that. And she showed them to us and laughed and cried and mimicked md related.
 And we went out and picked our arms full of roses in a garden ia mous from one end of Europe 70 the other-and went away.
 When we got outside the gate, the poor nonentity l had been stu pid enough to take with me clutched me by the arm. She could scarcely breathe ill her hurry to speak
 How old do you suppose she is?" she stammered in her excitement.
 And that was all the poor nonen- tity ever had to say about that day of wonder with a woman of en chantment How old is she?-- that's all she thought
 And when I told her that didn l, care whether the woman was twen- ty:five or fifty she stared-and did not believe word said. How could she? She didn't speak the language.
 Keep your age to yourself, teach CT, as long as you want to. It's nobody's affair but your own-and, if you're the right sort of woman, it isn't even your affair.

tempting dish which he calls sea-. loped chicken. This calls for a boiled chicken and boiled rice. The chicken is cut into small pieces and put into baking dish in al ternate layers with the rice. When the dish is nearly full a white sauce is poured over it and covered with bread crumbs; it is baked in hot oven for an hour. A seasoning Of salt and pepper and parsley if de sired is added with the layers oI rice and chicken.
 FRIED SPANISH CHICKEN.
 A favorte Spanish method of COOK. ing chicken calls for a small fowl Joint it and boil it until tender. Melt three or four tablespoonfuls large chopped onion and two chopped sweet green peppers. Fry gently for three or four minutes and then add the chicken. Brown on both sides and serve with steamed rice and tomato sauce.
 HALiBUT WITH PARMESAN.

Serve garnished with slices of lemon sprinkled with finely chop ped parsley.
 POT ROAST OF BEEF.
 If you ask for a pot roast, ] butcher will often give you piece eff of the round, but that is too dry for nice roast. Always get d chuck or piece of neck. It is cheap CT, and if cooked right is really delicious roast. Ask the butcher for small piece of suet with the meat, and use an iron kettle to cook it in. Put kettle on the stove with suet and when it is frying out and hot put in the roast (wipe roast with damp cloth instead of wash ing). Turn often and let it fry on all sides, being careful 1t does not burn. After 10 or Is minutes pour into kettle about ? cups of hot water and cover closely. Do not let it boil furiously, but a slow steady boil. and keep in enough water so that it will not burn. When about half done, season with pepper and salt. An hour befor. serving let water cook away aud brown the roast. turning often in fat in the kettle. A 4-pound roast needs at least hours cooking and longer is better Remove roast onto

Why Worry About Age?

State Superintendent of Schools Edward H. Hyatt, of California, has told the teachers of this state that they needn't tell how old they are not to anybody-not at any time except when they come to apply for a pension.
 Hurrah for Supt. Hyatt, of Cali fornia! Hes a man of my own heart
 Why should a teacher tell her age any more than the car conductor or the woman who comes to help wash the dishes after the party Who cares how old a teacher is so long as she can teach? And who cares how young she is if she isn't g. goose!
 Nobody nowadays pays any at tention 10 age. Nobody who is anybody. l mean. Of course, all. the little persons who never do anything but get born. get married and get buried are very much eX- cited over everybody's age-but their own.
 It makes a whole lot of differ ence whether man is young O. cld-mentally. For it is all mat ter of mentaJity-after all
 A ditch digger is old at thirty a statesman is too young to be given any really important office till he is over fifty
 The girl at twenty doesn't know that any one is alive but herself. Poor little thing, she'll find out soon enough.
 The man at thirty hasn't begun to know anything about anybody-even himself. When he begins to find out he begins to be worth while.
 Why should a woman tell he' age-if she doesn't want to? Whose business Is it? People of intelli- gence don't care and never even think Why should she satisfy the idle curiosity of persons who are not intelligent?
 The minute anyone says to me. How old is she?" I know all I want to know about the person who asks.

The Plastic Corset Up-tO-Date

York Herald. you may have heard that new corsets had to be made over night. on the return of Mime. Simcox from Paris with the new styles. because the gowns were so
 ipVed in at the waist that. evel to-date corsets. the manneQuin3 could not make the new Paris gowns come together nicely. For the corset has again changed fo.' ultra modes, and natural figure has just the most cunning and et, tective little tightening at the real from downward and inward into an outward direction. Because of fitted bodices the corset is bi
 i-ler but remains long. Skilful in, sets of elastic webbing give perfect freedom to the different pastures and movements of the body.
 Now, as women are seldom or ever cut on the exact lines they should be. the corset has to remo- dy this.
 Different makers of corsets have different ways of doing this, The very last cry is corset of sill tricot Strange as it may seem, i, has only two supports in tat the back. each side of the facing, All the rest is done by the clever way the material Is placed on til" figure and cut The fronts are fas tened by hooks and eyes. The scans are on the hips Elastic inse's give perfect freedom to the limbs. The eorsets are as long as ever and bit higher Very stout women have them made of suede material which is a bit more resistant than the tricot.
 Some of my customers were highly amused over the information hat corsets were to be nipped al the waist and joked me a good deal' said Mme. Binner the noted corset maker. Must we call in ou husbands to lace them for us" they asked with mock worry The modern bedpost is not heavy enougf to stand the strain they protested, We can't find our waists to pinch them in; they were lost season ago., one woman, who Is noted for her willowy. sylphlike contour, told me with a most serious face and a glint of mischief in her eye. How ever, nipped waist line has to De taken for what it really means, auG it will be many moons before the waist will be spanned with the !ands, la Polaire.'
 If woman's figure has moi corset styles, or if she has let he figure go too long, then, alas, she cannot jump to these most tempt ing corsets that distribute the extra flesh just right, so nobody would ever dream it was there.
 Then mere supports, and physi- cal exercises--what vii! not one do to achieve the distinction of z svelte silhouette till the body mus cles are firm and strong.
 If the woman of today, rich or poor, is not well corseted, she has only herself to blame"
