MRS. TOMPKINS'
EASTER BONNET.

There was such an unusually good
dinner in the Tompkins' fiat that night
that Mr. Tompkins instinctively be-
came suspicious. When chocolate
blanc mango, of which he was inor-
dinately fond, was brought on for
dessert he knew that his worst fears
were realized. He looked across the
table at Mrs. Tompkins, who was
futtering behind the tea urn. and said
resignedly:
well, where is it1 What did it

"Where is what. dear1" asked Mrs.
Tompkins. What did what COST"
"Your new hat" said Tompkins.

Tompkins, somewhat nervously. 81

Mrs. Tompkins hustled from the
room, and when she returned she
proudly bore the hat aloft

These are evidently superior to es-

all who are able TO do so flee before
the foe, such few supplies of money,

immediate relief is imperative. With

ANGLO-FREHCH
OUT Of SERBIA
Irish Regiments Save Expedition
From Destruction
HAVE CROSSED GREEK FRONTIER
British War Office Admits Loss of
Artillery and Men in Six Day
Retreat.

London Dec. IA dispatch at
1915 p. m. yesterday says that the
Anglo-French troops who last week
began their retirement from their
advanced positions in southern Ser
via, are now approaching. if they
have not crossed, the Greek frontier,
and the attitude Greece win adopt
becomes more and more important.
Dispatches from Athens and news
available in London Indicate that the
matter, which was left TO the Greek
and allied military authorities at Sa-
loniea, is being amicably arranged
and that the allies will be allowed. to
retire to that city without any inter
ruption on the part OF the Greeks,
and will be permitted to remain
there.
Questions which are seriously oc-
cupylng the Greek government have
to do with the use of the railways,
which are needed for the Greek
troops, and the damage that might be
done to them with the object Of inn
peding Bulgarian pursuit, should the
Sofia government decide that the
British and French are TO be follow
ed into Greek territory, The Greek
government has good evidence OF the
effective manner in which the
French engineers destroy railways,
in the work done along the line north
OF the Greek frontier So well was
this accomplished that the Bulgar-
ians were greatly delayed, having TO
use roads covered with snow, with
the result that the French escaped
almost unscrathed
The British who had advanced far
ther from the railway to the north
east of Lake Doiran. had much
more difficult feat to accomplish
when retirement was decided on, and
suffered more heavily. They were
faced by greatly superior forces. and,
according to an official report issued
last night, their successful withdraw
al to a position extending from Lake
Doiran to the Vardar valley was
largely due to the gallantry Of three
Irish regiments, the Munster fusil-
iers, the Dublin fusiliers and the
Connaught rangers. The British
casualties are estimated at 100, while
they were forced to leave behind
eight field guns, which had been
placed in position to cover the re
tirements. and cou,d not be removed.
What the next move will be is
known only to the allied stats, but it is
generally believed that the Anglo
French forces will fall right back to
Salonica, where reinfcrcements are
arriving and which will be fortified
There are also reports that the allies
have landed division at Kavala
80 miles along the coast from Saloni-
ca and near the Bulgarian frontier
but there is no confirmation of this
If it is true, the object doubtless is
to secure the railway and prevent tho
Bulgarians from sending troops west
ward into Greece.
