Germany Should Receive Equally
Fair Treatment by L, $,

Berlin. March ; wireless via Lon
don).-Rev. Or. Dickie, a former Ameri-
can clergyman now in Berlin, today
points out the fact that former United
states Ambassador White writes, in his
AUTOBIOGRAPHY, that Germany during
the Spanish-American war. prohibited
the departure of all ships from the
mouth of the Elbe, carrying cargoes Of
arms intended for Spain or Cuba. The
former ambassador says:
The German government was en-
titled to decline the seizure of these
ships. and its action was special proof
of its fairness"
Rev. Or. Dickie recommends that the
same fairness be shown Germany by
Americans.

four piped scallops; one over each shoulder, one at the back and one at the front. The frock is made of wa termelon pink taffeta checked in black crossbarrcd lines. The jacket Is of navy blue satin; so is the collar just described. The bodice gathers at the waistline, and the full skirt also; un- der wide, fitted girdle of the navy satin, scalloped and piped along both edges. A scalloped and piped border of the satin, eight inches wide, trims the foot of the skirt, and midway of the skirts length Is another scalloped and piped trimming band of the satin. A dashing frock this. that could not escape attention anywhere.
 One of the afternoon dresses illus trated has little coat instead of a bodice-tfis model also is by Francis. An arresting feature of this frock Is the skirt in two lengths. A precise lady of the old school of dressmaking would probably exclaim that the over skirt has sagged below the skirt--and this is exactly what dressmaking of the advanced school seeks to suggest

 A modern dishwashing machine Is shown. No woman need be slave to washing dishes three times day if one of these labor-savers is in her kitchen. Once a day, perhaps after the morning meal when one is more in the mood-and in the clothes-for kitchen work than at evening time, all the dishes may be washed up at once. After each meal the plates and platters, carefully scraped as clean as possible. are stacked in the dish washer. Cups. glasses and silver have their especial place in tho big machine. Some good hot water, a pinch of washing powder and a slight arm movement for a minute or two, and the dishes are clean. A little more hot water to rinse them, and then. so thoroughly are they drained in their racks in the machine, they may be whisked dry in a jiffy and set away in their places.

 Taffeta And Satin Fall Running
 Mates"
 Two silks used together give the decided note of autumn smartness; and # two silks are not mated, silk and serge may be employed. Francis. who has opened a shop in London since the beginning of the war, shows . most captivating taffeta and satin combination. This .frock is doubly in teresting because there is a cunning jacket to match it--a jaunty bit of a hcket, gathered into piping at a low waistline and buttoned severely all the way down the front with cov- cred buttons and big loops made of the silk. The ends of the long sleeves are piped and there Is no collar to the jacket; 1t is simply finished at round ed neck-line with a piping. The col lar, one may add, is all on the frock "a marvel of a collar, rising quite to the ears at the sides, above the ears at back. and opening in front in two poiuts, like mans bat-wing dress col lar Below the neck, this stupendous collar runs down into the bodice IF

housekeeper are too many to enumer-; ate. but a few helpful thinss may bel mentioned here. The Porceliron table Is an attractive article of kitchen fur-i niture and is sanitary to the last de-i gree. It is about the size of an ordi-i nary kitchen table and Is made of iron fused with enamel at high tem- perature SO that the top and even tho legs of the table have surface like a handsome porcelain bathtub. There Is a metal drawer in the table for knives and other kitchen implements. This table is ideal tor mixing pastry. though 1t is wisest to cover it with linoleuu when dishes are to be washed on it, for the wet porcelain top is slippery. and glaeses may easily be broken If carelessly ret down.
 A new egg tester Is rather unique affair and nobody need complain of 2 breakfast egg which Is inpalatable if one of these odd little testers is kept in the kitchen. Fresh eggs are pink ish and translucent; with age the egg becomes darker and more opaque. but freshness may->not always be recog- nized by holding an egg between the eye and the light, The tester Is simply pasteboard box with mres ho'es tn

TIT IS far cry indeed from the
 low-raftered kitchen of our great
 grandmothers day where helps U for the housekeeper were of the most elementary sort and woman must slave unremittingly twelve hours out of the twenty-four to provide meals for the family; to a modern, we'll equipped kitchen in which housekeep-l ing Is made almost a play. And as. conveniences have increased. kitchens. have grown smaller. Fewer steps have to be taken, these days, from range. to ice box and from pantry to sink. All the necessary supplies are ready to-hand on convenient shelves over. the mixing table; a perfect gas range cooks things in no time at all--andl the elevator to the basement takes, care of everything left over. Rather different. one believes, from great grandmother time, when ashes had to be sifted. garbage buried, papers burned up; when the need of cup of milk took one to the dairy room; the need of potatoes took one down cellar: and when, moreover butter had to be churned,. fats tried out for trying, soap must be made at home; and when among other duties the housewi was expected to raise her chickens and hunt eggs in the barn. Small wonder the danes of those times had scant time to consider burning questions of Feminism, the vote and last French Fashions!
 Each year some new comfort and convenience Is being added to the all ready long list which lightens the housekeeper's burden and 1t is prob able that ones great-grandmother could she come back and visit the beautifully equipped kitchen of her great at-granddaughter, would wonder what in the world the bride was going to do with her time, so much of 1t would surely hang heavy on her hands
 The very latest work-saver is a new ice cream freezer which has late ly been put on the market-a freezer that freezes without turning. It Is a vacuum compartment, outside of the fec chamber that holds the secret-ah, the wonderful things that a vacuum

red chiffon subdues 1t to somber yet rich tone and the only echoing note of blue In the costume occurs in the beaded bridge reticule in which reds end blues are mingled on faint april cot ground. This apricot tint is re- peated in the lace waistcoat and sleeve frill which are creamy rather than clear white. The big Louis XIV cuffs snd the revers on the coat are edged With Indian red cord in which gold thread is twisted and long ties of the cord. with tassels, depend from the coat front. Like the Francis coat de- scribed at the beginning of today's chat, this coat gathers itself into q cording at the waistline, and the front r'hikes" up--as one might say-in rather . fetching manner, to reveal the waistcoAt of cream filet lace. The underskirt of dotted blue silk Is bord- cred with g deep band of the dark red chiffop and over this transparent edge falls the drapery of chiffon which forms the tunic. The sailor hat has . velvet crown and brim of apricot tuile. Pale pink velvet roses nest on this tulle ayim at the base of the
 crown.

the lid and a mirror in the bottom, The eggs fit into the holes and through slits in the sides of the box one can peep at their reflection in the mirror The rays of light are condensed in the dark box somewhat as in camera and the mirror in the box tells true tale of the conditions of the eggs above.
 Covers for molding board and roll- ing pin are rather novelty. Tnese covers are stretched tight over board and pin. the board cover being of close-woven white duck and the pin cover of knitted fabric. It is claimed that biscuits, made by use of covered molding board and rolling pin, are more light and tender than the ordi- nary sort; and that piecrust is more delicate and flakey.
 Every housewife will appreciate a new gas heater which positively will not smell. Comfortable as gas stove Is on chilly days, before the furnace fire Is lighted, almost anybody who is familiar with the idiosyncrasies of one of these stoves would prefer to be shiyery rather than endure the dis agreeble odor given out by the con- traption: or--lacking an odor-the stuffy atmosphere created by the stove. But this new gas heater has no odor whatsoever. and heats room
 without drying up the air in 1t. One
 part of the flame, turning downward
 keeps a receptacle full of water steam
 ing hot all the time and the per centage of humidity in the room re- mains unchanged.
 A very little convenience which is also very big convenience to the
 housewife. is an admissible broom
 handle holder which never becomes
 loose. The broom can be kept several inches above the floor by this device so that the brush portion of the broom Is not injured. There is also an ad-
 unstable clothesline fastener which has i the knack of keeping any rope fas- tened from one support to another i taut and firm. This handy little fas- ; tener is useful to keep the cords on | which window curtains are stretched, ! taut and tight also; or the line i stretched over the range for dryine dish towels.

ging overskirt is wonderfully effective in color. The skirt Is of black satin and jet fringe weights down the tunic so that the satin hangs In soft, rich folds. The coat is of faille silk in deep orange shade with all-over em- broidery in jet beads. Cuffs and col lar are of black satin, the collar hav- ing facing of orange silk. The wide belt of black velvet passes through slashes in the coat fronts, giving the front of the coat a straight, loose line though the sides and back are slight ly fitted. Boots of antelope kid and a new sailor of black satin and flesh pink tulle, with faint pink rose, ac- company the costume which is suitable for afternoon bridge, a restaurant tea, a matinee or any other semi-formal afternoon affair.
 Practical Frocks Of Taffeta.
 The redingote frock of taffeta. worn with the latest thing in velvet sailors almost guiltless of trimming-is practical model for autumn wear in town. It is more than practical: 1t is exactly the sort of frock one should have to tide over Indian summer weeks Of dainty pussy willow taf- feta, made in the latest mode, and in a rather dark. neutral color, 1t may be worn anywhere one goes in the demi- saison. It is not too dressy for shop ping or restaurant lunching; 1t is for nal enough for any afternoon anair likelyto occur before the real season" opens; it is ideal for autumn traveling; and one might wear 1t with propriety
 
 at a quiet restaurant dinner.
 Skirt and tunic are of the same silk pussy willow taffeta in a dark plum color-and embroideries in lighter tone of the same color are worked on sash and sleeve. The tunic has a redingote suggestion with low waist line and a very full flare at the edge The bodice is smartly severe. with its long, tight sleeves and collar and lape in mannish style. Bodice and tunit are in one. cut in such circular fashior that the full folds of the tunic tapel i into small pleats in the bodice. 4 smart touch is the separate collar O
 white satin which Is detachable s'
 that 1t may be slipped out and fresh
 ened when necessary. The velvet sailo
 has a single, chalk white rose restinl
 on the brim.
