Although it made it's bow somewhat earlier in the season, this gown was in the vanguard of fashions and it's strong points are emphasized now, since they are all approved styles. The skirt shows commendable method of managing the flare by means of panel at the front, an inverted V-shaped yoke at each side, supporting full side pieces, and two panels that meet at the center of the back. Each of these panels is formed by deep inverted plaits, so that the skirt sets trimly about the hips. It is finished at the bottom with heavy silk-covered cord.
 The rather plain bodice is cut with dropshoulder, and the arm s-eye is finished with narrow hem. The long, tapering sleeve is set in under this hem in the same manner as the side pieces in the skirt are set in the yoke The bodice blouses at the front and !s joined to the skirt under a plain saffeta girdle.

SQUIRRELS AND GIANT HELP

"A little Girl" commenced Daddy, was sitting down near an old cave in the woods the other day crying as though her heart would break.
 'She sobbed and sobbed The Birds flew about and sang cheery little songs to make her feel better, but she didn't seem to pay any attention.
 Pretty soon several Squirrels scampered by and they cried, too, when they saw her crying, for they are very kind hearted and like little Girls. These Squirrels had known a great many nice Children who had given them nuts and they felt very bad that one should be sitting all alone sobbing in such sad way.
 "'Hello,' said Reggie Red Squirrel. Whats up?'
 Poor little Girl, tell us your name,' said Charlie Curly Tail Squir- rel. I think he whispered to the other Squirrels, that it's good thing to get her talking-then she'll stop crying
 My name is Tiddy,' said the little Girl, and I've lost-boo-hoo-I've lost
 "She couldn't go any farther. and no matter how hard the Squirrels tried to talk to her she sobbed and sobbed.
 Pretty soon one of them said, Let's ask our old friend, the Giant, to sug- gest some way of stopping Tiddy from crying.
 "'Oh,' said Tiddy, between her sobs, he may eat me up and stop my cry ing that way. But I've lost And then she burst out crying again.
 "Dear me, mo- said the Squirrel who had suggested the Giant. He is the kindest Giant you can imagine. Why, he's our best friend. He lives in this Cave and whenever we go to call on him he gives us nuts to eat and sends home nuts to our Mothers and Daddies. And he tells us wonderful stories of his adventures. He's as big as the Cave, but he can curl up way inside where none of the real People will bother him. He's afraid if he came forth they'd put him in the cir cus-and he loves the woods so.
 Why, he says continued the Squirrel, that when the circus comes to town the only thing about it he misses are the peanuts-and he only wants those for us!'
 ''Tiddy had stopped crying and had thought that the Giant must be won- derful indeed if the Squirrels were so fond of him. And in they went for him Cnnn o11t carrying a big, big stick (which the Squirrels said he carried just for 'showO, and sat down on the moss be-

Silk soutache braid, in the same color as the taffeta, is applied in an odd scroll design to the, front of the bodice, to the collar and cape and on the girdle. The cape and silk collar extend only across the back, suspend ed from a tie of velvet ribbon, finished with bow at the throat. In the pie ture a high-plaited ruff of organdie stands up about the neck. With the progress of the season the ruff is dis appearing from the throat, but half of it remains, supplementing the high silk collar which still holds it's own as a chic finish to the back of the neck
 The cape is an accessory for street wear, which is taken off indoors. It adds very little in the way of warmth or protection but much in distinctive style. A gown of this kind will look we'll in any of the quiet colors in which taffeta is made and in the dark CT changeable tones.

Soon Huge Creature Came Out. side Tiddy, while all the Squirrels sat Ill around in a circle on their hind legs.
 Whats the trouble, little Girl?' ne said. And his voice was so, so 1ind
 "'Tve lost my six wild strawber- .ies.'
 "'Six wild strawberries. shouted he Squirrels. You needn't have cried over those-we can get you more than six
 But they were in a basket of sweet grass said Tiddy, and the Fairy Queen gave them to me. She told me when I took them home that one was for me, one for Daddy, one for Mother, and one for each of my three little Brothers. And just as we each ate our wishing strawberry the wish we made would come true. Around the basket she put in lots of other wild strawberries-b those six - and Tiddy burst into tears again.
 "'Come, brave Gnomes! Come!' shouted the Giant, and from far and near came the Gnomes with great spectacles on. They're my searching Gnomes,' said the Giant. They find all lost things-their spectacles are | most powerful
 And off the Gnomes flew in all di- rections. They soon hurried back with all the lost strawberries in the basket, and they handed them to the happy Tiddy. Then they all took hands and danced in ring around Tiddy, while the Giant sang the squir rels' favorite song and the squirrels scampered about whispering and nut tering:
 "It's our old friend the Giant. Ht sees that all the lost things are found | again."

WieId Pen and Sword.

The report of the Authors club of London gives some eloquent figures. Out of 644 members resident in Great Britain, many of whom are far past military age, no less than I'll are in active service in connection with the war. Six have died in action or of wounds and 13 votes of sympathy with members in the death of sons or brothers upon the field of heroism have been adopted. The same hand, 1t is clear, may wield both pen and sword.
