The most attractive of the new
gowns already displayed for the COM

long straight lines that belong to the

spiration of the Russian blouse. Com
binations of two materials in the same
gown are worked out in one-piece
frocks made Of cloth and silk, or cloth
and velvet. Buttons and braids and
sashes of the same fabrics as the

they are assured a place in the COM

In suits there are numbers of Sc

Tiny Pellet Brinos $500.

A little round ball of paper which
Mrs. Charles R. Vincent dug out of the

SQUIRREL AND KITTEN PLAY
Game Of Hunting and Being Hunted
Watched on Lawn In Meiross
Billie Saves His Dinner.

In some sections OF Melrose the gray
squirrels have been petted and fed to
such an extent that they do not hesi-
tate to enter houses in search of nuts
and dainties. 1t is common to see as
many as a half dozen of these squir-
rels playing about the lawns at one
time, and they seem almost to have
lost their fear of mankind.
The other day an odd incident was
witnessed in which one of these squir-
rels figured. His squirrelship. locally
known as Billie" was engaged in for
aging for some of the nuts he had
cached in the grass on a lawn near
huge oak. He was seen by playful
maltese kitten about three months old.
When 1t noted the squirrel, the be-
ribboned kitten became all attention.
Then, nature asserting itself, the kitten
crouched and began to stalk its quarry.
billie" was perfectly aware of the
kittens proximity, and with one eye
watched its attempt at stealthy ap-
proach, while with the other and his
nose he proceeded with his search.
The kitten appeared puzzled at the
boldness of the squirrel and its curl
osity became aroused to such an ex-
tent that it neglected it's crouch and
arose to it's full kitten height better
to see what the squirrel was doing in
the grass
Then as the squirrel paid no atten-

over to within two feet of the squirrel.
Billie had secured his nut and calmly
sat upright to open it.
Without a preliminary crouch the
kitten jumped for the squirrel Billie
leaped at the same instant, but went
clear over the back of the kitten. When
the squirrel came to the ground two
feet away, it at once resumed its eff
fort to open the nut.
That was play the maltese could ap-
preciate. 1t crouched, wiggled it's
slick length, leaped and sailed grace
fully over the squirrel. The latter
dropped his nut, but otherwise did not
move until the kitten again came to-
ward him, when in his turn he jumped
over it. AS he landed the little NAL
tese ran for him, and he ran round
and round the kitten, purely in play
and without apparent fear.
For nearly three minutes the pair
kept up their antics. Then suddenly
there was a black streak from the
flower bed as an older kitten rushed
for the squirrel PIT Billie knew his
ground and his rush carried him six
feet up the trunk of the friendly oak
by the time the older kitten was at its
base.
Then Billie hung, head down, tail
flirting, and in his squirrel way gave
that black kitten a piece Of his mind
After five minutes of vain waiting for
him to come down, the two kittens de
cided they must delay their attack and
adjourned for romp of their own.
They we're scarcely 15 feet from the
tree when Billie leaped down, secured
his nut and scampered back up to a
sheltering limb of the oak to enjoy il

SYSTEM FOR STATE FINANCES.

It makes little difference whether it is state or national government which is being considered, there is need for proper control of the finances and such is provided by the system which makes it possible to regulate the ex- penditures by the income.
 Though what he says relative to business principles in legislative bodies refers particularly to national affairs, yet Congressman Gillett hits the nail on the head equally well for state leg islatures when, in reference to the financial record of congress, he says: ''The appropriations of this session have shamefully disregarded the prin- ciples of sound business and true economy. With revenues falling and precarious, with business and com mercial conditions feverish and uncer- tain, with a steady monthly deficit and no assured prospect of it's relief, and with a cash fund reduced to a point that has generally been deemed un- safe, the administration has recom- mended and the congress has author ized expenditures on a larger scale than ever before, and no step has beer taken to meet the prospective deficit That is not \the way the finances O. a government should be administered There ought to be some proportion be. tween income and outgo, and their re. lations ought not to be ignored, anc their accommodation left to chance That seems to have been the only fisca
 policy of this session"
 The favorable committee report fol the creation of a finance board by tht general assembly to place Connection l finances under a budget system is II accord with the needs of the state. I takes into recognition it's presen shortcomings and a valuable star
 towards improved conditions will have
 been made when the suggested change
 is adopted and put into operation.

Stories of the War
Repairing the Bridges.

Indicative of the speed with which the Germans are rebuilding and re- pairing the bridges in France that were destroyed in an effort to check their advance in the earlier days of the war, Dr. Hans Eisele, just returned from near Fourmies, 175 meters in length, which has been restored within 70 days.
 For this work was needed $50 cubic meters of wood that had to be felled and hauled from the forest, some of It from a considerable distance. On the day of his visit to the bridge, Dr. Eisele found it lined with fir trees, in honor of the Kaiser's birthday, and equipped with great barrels of water for use in case an effort should De made to burn it down again.
 Eight guards, constantly changing watch the structure to prevent any in work of the Germans. Military trains used it exclusively, as they do most of the territory now occupied by Ger | many in France, though civilians with the proper passes are able to trave | by rail.
 | Another bridge rebuilt in unusually short time is that over the Thon near | Qrigny. This structure was destroyed | by the French in 1870, and rebuilt 1 only in three years. In the process oi reconstruction, it is claimed, dynamite i chambers were installed to permit o1 | it's easy destruction again in case ol
 necessity. When this took place the | gigantic blocks of stone were throwr
 into the valley, damming up the rivel
 and making lake of the valley. Thi! | 230-meter-long, -meter-high bridg'
 has been rebuilt in the space of g.
 days, and is now available for al | trains.

Prisoners on Parole.

The party of surgeons and nurses which travelled from England on board of Thomas Liptons Red Cross yacht Erin, has found the country straining every resource to repair the damage of the past seven months of news, but in the best informed circles there is little disposition to believe that the enemy contemplated serious attack on Serbia before late spring.
 The Red Cross unit will find plenty of work to do. All the hospitals in the country are crowded and there is a great dearth of surgeons and medi- cal supplies.
 One of the most remarkable sights here is the number of the enemy to be found walking about the streets, still in uniform. They are prisoners on parole, and all the Serbian towns are dotted with them. Serbia has neither jails nor guards for the large number of war prisoners that fell to her share and she treats them there fore, as uninvited guests, towards whom the usual forms of hospitality must be maintained. Conservative fig ures place the number of Austrian of fcerS and men now roaming at large in Serbia at 60.000. The question of many of them have found employment, and a few have even brought their i families to live with them. The fam l lilies, of course, have had to travel | from Austria by way of Rumania, Q
 neutral country.
 At Nish the captive officers have | free access to the military club. Al. 1 the captive Austrian army surgeon | have been commandered for work in the Serbian hospitals. where they are 1 kept constantly employed and are paid good salaries.

larger areas be turned to the produc- tion of wheat. oats and corn is fur nished
 This has been acted upon quite gen. erally with the result that the sections of the country which enter extensive ly into such production have already taken, or are planning to take steps to increase their output. With the eff feet of the cotton situation SO clearly set forth, and further affected by the blockade movement which so directly concerns a large export trade, the ad- visibility of curtailing that which is a drug on the market and producing that which is going to experience larger demands is clear. Cotton will be grown, but the south will unques- tionably see the wisdom of putting onto the market grain and cattle feed which can be disposed of and for which there will be a ready sale, in- stead of filling storehouses with a pro- duct which is already a glut on the market.
 Such would mean a new departure in that section of the country partic- ularly, but it would mean respect for conditions and there are reasons to believe that would prove profitable in more ways than just making the best of an emergency situation. Nature contributed to big crops last year and 1t should get all possible human assistance this year.

A MINE VICTORY,

The loss of three battleships by the allied fleet shows at what a disad- vantage any attacking force works which attempts the tremendous task of reducing the fort-lined and mar now Dardanelles. Had the Turks been able to sink those vessels by gun fire instead of by mines far greater would have been the credit to be derived therefrom, yet whatever has been the success of the allies thus far in their undertaking at that point it is made evident that the Turks have not been frightened into quitting. They arc making the most of every method of defense.
 The loss of three battleships of the type of those destroyed will be slight in comparison with the opening of that waterway. It is only what was in the list of possibilities and it will be fortunate indeed if more do not go likewise before that action ends The Dardanelles is proving no harder nut to crack than was expected, but the taking of three ships at a rclip shows that the mines are a danger which cannot be overlooked.
