Brieux Reads Frances Future.

Eugene Brieux, in a recent article in
the Paris Temps, anticipates the obvi-
Gus question as to whether the French
people will forget all their differences
and live in complete accord after the
war.
He thinks not; but he believes that
a great improvement i'll their political
affairs will ensue and that his COM
patriots will understand better how
there can be disagreement without hate
and argument without insult.
He does not expect them, however,
to become "calm as statues" by her
geographical situation, and because Of
the races that gave it being as ma
ton, France is destined to agitation.
And agitation may be fruitful, while
immobility never is. Literary Digest

ToGs FOR TENNIS GROUND
Probability That the Fashions of Last
Season viii Be Utilized and Inn I
proved Upon.

The question of tennis attire viii
soon be upon us and it seems likely
that the changes which made their
appearance toward the end of last
summer will be found to have estab7
lished themselves and that there may
be even more to come. The wider
skirts, too, will make for greater grace
and freedom. Cotton poplin, lowered
wolfe and crepon, the new materials,
as well as the new soft piques, will
come in for full share of patronage
A distinct Rubicon has been crossed Of
late with regard to dress for the game
since the passion for color invaded it's
sacred domain, so long consecrated to-
white. 1t is neither likely nor desir-
able, of course, that this will be the
case to any great extent but the little
touches of color that are now allow
able on tennis court are decided re-
lief to the monotony.
One of the latest innovations is the
wearing of gray shoes and stockings
instead Of the traditional white, with
perhaps pale gray hat and tie. Deli
cate gray and white are, strangely
enough, perfectly charming mixture,
giving a wonderful effect of coolness.
Another welcome diversity is provid-
ed by the Powered crepons that have
been so much the vogue

saIutino the Quarterback.

Every time an officer or seaman
goes upon the quarterback he salutes
it. He never by any chance forgets
this, one of the regular customs on
board, says Pearson's Weekly. The
quarterback is that part of the deck
reserved by officers, and many people
think that the reason why it is sa-
luted is out of respect for those of
ficers. The why and wherefore of the
saluting has a far more interesting
origin than that, however, and one has
to go back hundreds of years to lind
the beginning of the custom. In the
old days a crucifix used to stand on
the quarterback. In those days all
the sailors we're Catholics, and, of
course, every time they approached
the crucifix they crossed themselves
to show their reverence for the holy
symbol. 1t is many long year ago
since the crucifix was there, but the
custom of saluting the quarterback,
which was result of it, has been
handed down in the navy ever since.

rRlLL is PROMINENT
REALLY THE CHIEF INNOVATION
OF THE YEAR.
FIuffIness Is Again on the Throne
Compromise Between Fashion and
Comfort in the Two-in-One Col
Iar-CoIored Linens.

The most noticeable innovation this
year Is the addition of frills. OF course
It Is not an innovation really, but a
revival. The jabot blouse had its last
incarnation about six years ago or so.
We we're wearing very high collars
with bones all around them then. In
struments Of torture that they were!
Some women used to carry pads OF
cotton wool In their purses, ready to
tuck bit under tips of supports which
were digging holes in their necks.
When the no-collar edict was extend
ed to blouses we were all thankful
Frills then left us for a while, and
the forerunner of the present two-ln-
one collar turnover affair leaving a
pointed opening in front, was in vogue.
Last year the blouse was the waist
coat model of handkerchief linen and
effect was very smart and good quail
ity was sold at 25 francs in Paris and
$25 in New York! This year fuffiness
reigns again. For more strictly tai
lored wear the ingenuity of the two
in-one collar makes a compromise
between fashion and comfort in plain
blouse. Frills, however, invading all
our garments, even our shoes and
gloves, form veritable cascades down
the front of our blouses.
After several all-white seasons col
ored linens appear again this year and
colored organdies-of transparency!
We have to be as careful how we
dress under them as we used in the
days of the "peek-a-boo' waist, as vul-
gar as its name. AS soon as the coun-
try houses are occupied and the coun-
try season in full swing we shall know
whether the colored fabrics have been
extensively adopted or not. In town,

battle, and by its name the Germans
still know the battle of Waterloo.
Close at hand is undoubtedly the
most beautiful monument on the whole
field-and one of the most recent. It
shows a wounded Imperial Eagle dy-
ing in defense of broken standard.
1t bears the simple legend aux
Derniers Combatants de la Grande
Armee, 18 JUN 1876" To the last of
those who fought in the Grande
Armee of Napoleon, to the gallant vet
Grams of those wonderful soldiers the
Little Corporal led through Europe,
Frenchmen erected this striking mon
ument only few years since.
From Belle-Alliance the pilgrims
road led generally to the right along
the narrow lane that runs through the
very center of the battlefield to per-
haps the most historic of all its re-
mains, the Chateau de Hougomont.
The story of this chateau is one that
can never die.
Hougomont was one of the advanced
posts of the British lines and the key
of the British position. If it had fall
len, the history of Europe would have
been differently written.
At the time of the battle, Hougo-
mont was an old, partly-ruined cha
teau, surrounded by numerous out
buildings. BY the Great Dukes own
orders the place was hurriedly turned
into a fort. Here, throughout practi-
cally the whole day, the Coldstream-
ers, who fought the bulk of the de-
Tending force, held back the most
violent attacks of the action.
With the circuit from the Mound
to Belle-Alliance, and back to Hougo-
mont, the tourist generally contented
himself; but in Waterloo itself, and
in Mont st. Jean, there are scores Of
memorials of the famous day.
Waterloo was the Duke of Yelling
tons headquarters from June 18th to
the 10Th. The church contains bust OF
him, by Geefs, and numerous memoria;

"Astounding!" cried Robert briggs.

Mr.. briggs had reason to be

A typical story of Yorkshire charac-

one who knows the all-importance OF
washing day in Yorkshire will appre-
ciate the humor of it. He was just
out of the hospital, and except that
his left arm was tucked into the
breast of his jacket, you would never
have guessed what he had suffered for
king and country. AS he crossed the
threshold of his home his father took
the pipe out of his mouth and gave
him a real Yorkshire welcome

from which the pedestal of the Lion
rises. That pedestal bears the simple
inscription-"June IS, 1915" The
Lion itself, so your guide would tell
you, weighed twenty-eight tons.
Many Monuments There.
The Lion Mound occupies a site
that was about the center of the Brit
ish lines, a front not two miles long.
Behind lies the village of Mont st.
Jean. and further back the little town
of Waterloo, with the forest of Soign-
les near at hand. Before it stretches
the fiat field of Waterloo, waving with
corn in the summer, deep in mud in
the winter. across which two cobbled
main roads run away to the south
in the direction of Quatre Bras, from
which Wellington fell back only few
days before the great battle.
The whole battlefield can be COW
cred on foot in few hours. But for
its history, it is most unprepossess-
ing spot. bitches and muddy roads
intersect the fields from which, even
today, the plough will turn up rusty
arms and bleached bones.
But the pilgrim can never forget
that he is on unusual ground. The
place bristles with monuments.
You descend from the Lion Mound
At its base stands a little group Of
houses, chief of which is the Museum
Hotel. so named from the museum of
Waterloo relics attached to it. A few
hundred yards to the east and you find
a simple pillar to the memory OF
Colonel Gordon Almost opposite,
across the main road, rises the ODE
uisk to the memory of the Hanoverian
officers of the German Legion. A lit
tie farther on, by the side of the main
road, stands the historic. red-roofed,

which some of the most desperate

About a mile down the road you

There is an inscription over the door
that tells that Wellington and Butcher

The Senarate Coat.

1t is much more of problem than
it used to be, the question of the right
separate coat to go over the morning,
afternoon or evening dress. When the
number has to be reduced to its low
est terms because of shortened purse
strings or because one may need a
garment that can be worn without
change during the entire day, there
is much difficulty to find something
that is right, modish and at the same
time in place.
