The Cotton Net on New Handkerchief

The Cotton Net on New Handkerehiefs.
 Sheer linen lawn Is the material of which most of the handkerchiefs arc made with the exception of the glove handkerchiefs, and they are usually made of crepe de chine. Cotton net oI tulle forms the border band on which Is gathered q plaited frill of the net one inch wide. So 1t would seem that the frill has invaded even the realm oi mouchoirs. Linen lawn in rose, straw ond blue with rounded corners are the handkerchiefs that boast the net oi tulle frill. Square corners are reserved for those with the hemstitched finish.

DO SOMETHING
Do something for nobody, somewhere,
While jogging along life's road;
Help someone to carry his burden.
And lighter win grow your load.
Do something for somebody gladly;
Twill sweeten your every care;
In sharing the sorrows OF others,
Your own are less hard to bear.
Do something for somebody. striving
To help where the way seems long;
And the homeless hearts that languish
Cheer up with little song.
Do something for somebody always,
Whatever may be your creed
There's nothing on earth can help you
So much rs a kindly deed.

Warsaw's Capture Climax of
A Great Strategic Movement

The occupation of Warsaw by the Ger
mans is the climax OF the greatest sus-
tanned offensive movement OF the war
Three times before within nine months
in October, December and February
they tried TO wrest the Polish capital
from the Russians, only to he pushed
back when within a few miles of the
city and when its capture seemed GER
tain.
The final successful effort began in
May, and for three months the vast
movement swept onward with dogged
persistency until it threatened to encircle
the city and compelled the Russian forces
to Capitulate.
1t began with the Teutonic march
through Galicia and progressed with the
rcCapture of Lemberg by Field Marshal
Won Mackensen in June. The Russians
were driven over the Galician border, and
the Germans then modified great armies
in the north. which early in June began
pressing down upon the Russians.
A vigorous offensive was opened in
the Baltic provinces under the direc-
ton cf Field Marshsl vul Hinden-

Berlin Officials Believe War Will
Come to An End Before the Winter

Berlin Cvia The Hague), Aug. 5.-Of.
fetal circles here today did not conceal
the belief that the world war may come
to an end before winter.
The Kaiser is expected to return to
Berlin on Sunday. An important con-
ference is to be held next week by gov
ernment officials. 1t was reported today
that the ministry will discuss with the
Emperor the moves Germany is to make
Immediately following the successful end
ing OF the Warsaw campaign
The decision will be reached before
the Reichstag reassembles August II. and
it promises to have a far-reaching effect
on the outcome of the war.
The belief that Germany's enemies
despite their public announcements of
preparedness to fight to the end, are in
reality firing of the war and about ready
to talk peace, is based on the growing
conviction in official circles here that
the allies have about reached the end
of their string" so far as offensive move
ments are concerned.
