WAIT

WiSiiiNGION, huk. -.
The German-American stt-
uation frightened today
when Ambassador Won
Bernstorff asked the state
department to take NO ac-
ton In the Arabic case until
an official report had been
received from Berlin.
The German admiralty has
not yet received word from
the commander of the sub
marine operating In the WA
tiers where the Arabic was
sunk.
The state department didn't
definitely announce the receipt
of request from Won Bernstorff,
but II was admitted that The
German envoy has asked permits
sion to make u message public
and II is understood that this
was granted.
~ Officials of the depart
ment said alphabetically II
such u request had been
made by the ambassador II
I was Extremely reassuring."
Y 1t is the impression that Bern
storff acted on the intimation
from Berlin that report would
be forthcoming OF a nature sat
isfactory to this country. Other-
wise there would be no reason
for making the request.
The state department Is great
ly relieved by the request NJ the
silence of Germany SO far has
been interpreted as an intention
to let Washington infer what 1t
pleased concerning the sinking Of
the Arabic.

THE BANKING BUSINESS
AS TOLD BY A BANKER

Modern Banking is con-
Quoted for the benefit of the
people who have small sums
of money to deposit, either in
the Account subject to check,
in which the Bank furnishes
4'the books and checks free, or
in the Savings account upon
which the Bank pays per
cent per annum interest.
1t is considered too late. to
make a connection with the
Bank at the time 1t IL found
necessary I'd make q loan.
1t must be understood that
the acquaintance Of a Bank
means q great deal more now
than 1t did formerly, and this
generation should cooperate
with the Banks for the bene-
fit OF all the people and busi-
ness in general.

The Fairbanks Twins of the Than
housar NTuuaD studios, Madeleine
and Marion. were responsible the 9th
er day for delaying for several hours
the taking of a picture at the Than
hou-er studios, thereby costing the
management several hundred dollars.
II was due to no fault of theirs, how
ever, but to the fact that nature has
created them so alike that it is diff
cult to tell one from the other.
The girls are both athletic. Made
leine is lover of horses, while her
sister is a little shy of them, and
whenever there is a scene calling for
horseback riding she is given the
part
A ride through the woods was to
be photographed, and Director How
ard Mitchell, assembling the group
to take the scene, called one of the
twins - the one he thought was
Madeleine - and, leaving the studio
at 10 in the morning, they mOtored to
wild section of the country some
twenty miles away.
When it came time to photograph
the runaway horse scene, Miss Fair
banks was called, and it was then
discovered that the wrong twin had
been selected for the part. Marion
gently but firmly refused to take the
mount, and the only thing to do was
to send back to the studio for her
sister, while the picture was held up
for nearly three hours. The cast got
a rest and the morning was a total
loss to the management.

You must have done something" whis-
pered Tommy, his knees shaking with
fright, you must have done something

But l didn't do one thing!' exclaimed
poor little Mrs. Tommy, shaking, II

she was SO timld that Tommy could
hardly make her do the things that need
ed to be done-let alone something she
shouldn't do! Tommy was about to think
1t must be some one else who was guilty,
when again the voice said, "She-didl She
dldw
He swallowed the lump of fright In his
throat and whispered to his mate, "some-
thing AWFUL has happened and you are
blamed! We must keep very still till we
can get back to our cellar" Just then he
happened to look up And what do YOU
suppose he saw? Perched upon one of
the long green stalks was the daintieat
little green creature he had ever seen.
And this same little person was the ono
that was saying "She-didw
Indeed she didntr' exclaimed Tommy.
for the first time in his life he forgot to
be afraid; "she didn't do a thlnE!i
The dainty green creature looked down
and saw Mr.. and Mrs Tommy. "Oh. I
didn't mean TO disturb you" he said; "I
was just calling to my mattel" And with
that he gave whlrr and flew awayI IT
mean to stay in the garden long enough
to find out who that was said Tommy.

NF COURSE nobody would be surprised
" to hear that Tommy Tittle-mouse had
a fright-he was always getting frights!
If the laundress stepped heavier than
usual, IL the house cat meowed by the
cellar stairs, II the big dog growled un-
cxpectedly, II - If anything happened
Tommy Tittle-mouse was frightened
After his talk with his attic cousin
and his decision TO move into the garden
where there was better prospect of food
than in the cellar, he lost no time NOV
Ing. In fact his moving wasn't very COM
plicated. He simply hunted up his little
mate (who, by the way, was more timid
than Tommy; explained to her what he
meant to do, and together they went slyly
up the outside cellar stairs.
But finding just the safest place to call
their home was no such easy matter. The
garden was quite unlike the cellar,
Tommy Tittle-mouse discovered; and
while he liked what he saw very much
he hardly knew where to go or what to
do. "I'll tell you" he suggested to his
mate, I'VE might hide there in that tall
grass. Then we can look around in quiet
and safety and determine where we
should go and what we should do"
Mrs. Tittle-mouse thought that n good
idea, so together they slipped hastily
over to the tall grass and snuggled down
tight to the ground
Dear me-" exclaimed Tommy in great
distress, what have you been doing
now?"

A NOTABLE revival in fashions this
"A season is the picturesque and elabor-
ate robe. Last season the robe proper
was confined to the few who liked them
and wore them for that and no other
reason. This season their vogue Is uni
versal. voiles, crepes fine batistes,
Georgette crepe-the most fashionable OF
the lot-and even chiffon are embroidered
in conventional designs and trimmed with
real laces These are used in new ways
too, The fashionable robe Is much more
complex in construction than the plain
blouse waist and tunic skirt seen hereto
fore. Satins on girdle, neck and under
meath, bring out the beauties of the de-
sign, or serve as an admirable back
ground for the rare old lace.
Plain skirts have a decided flare, and
hoopskirts are used on the ultra smart
styles. The French designers show quaint
little ruffled skirts, with embroidered and
lace flounces alternating to good effect.
They remind one of the dainty Dresden
