mustn't smoke that vulgar, shocking
old pipe while wearing the lovely
jacket. Everybody thought he was

smoking the pipe, and instead brought
home a bale of cigars.

He insisted she had rolled over after
taking one squirt at the smoking

While our railroad service is

OUR DUTY,

Whatever the reply of German

it is certain to be couched in
friendly terms and prompted by

given in which fairness and good
sense upon our part may impel us
to act considerably in the matter
and not destroy the friendly re.

countries. Our Government has
assumed the attitude of a peace.
maker, and it is not improbable
the United States may. at the
logical moment, if we retain the
friendship of the belligerent
nations, be the means of Offering
a solution that will end the war
The peculiar position we occupy
toward the nations at war places
upon US a moral responsibility
that concerns not alone the well
fare of our government, but the
good of the world at large. Un-
der the circumstances it is our
bounden duty, if possible with
honor, to keep at peace with the
belligerent nations that we may
perform the task Providence has
seemingly laid at our door. 1t is
clearly to be seen, should our ne
gotiations with Germany result
in severing the friendly ties
binding the two governments,
that the hopes of the United
States being able to bring about
peace in Europe would instantly
vanish, and in such an event
there would be no prophet wise
enough to foretell the end of
the terrible havoc now being

nation to guard it's integrity with
zeal and jealousy, and demand
that the lives of it's citizens be re.

tions, but under present condi-
tiOns, when the ma jOr part of the
world is in the throes of war,
having due regard for what it is
possible for the United States to
accomplish for the cause of
peace, we ought not to be too ar
bitrarily defiant. We should be

But, in fact, the United States
has a right to demand strict re-

black hats show touches of jet and its

the erin hats are covered with tulle or
chiffon in large fiat layers that extend
beyond the brim edge and under
which are tucked flowers or fancy
berries that show through semi-trans-
parently.
While the flare skirt is considered
the modish shape, it must be admitted
that there are great many pleated
skirts seen on smart tailored suits and
they are worn by such persons as
make them an accepted fashion. The
pleated skirt one sees, however, is not
laid IN wide pleats. 1t is often made
of two or three inch box pleatS, with
less space left between the pleats, and
is pressed only. not stitched, so that it
flies out and gives the appearance of a
flare skirt when the Wearer walks.

Another way of arranging these ac-
Gordon pleats for a stout figure is TO
have the accordion pleating like a

from a hip yoke. The plain skirt can
be of the same or contrasting ma
