CONFERENCE VETOEs NJ. Il.
KANSAS DISTRICT CHANGE

Saratoga Springs, May 27.-The
annual conference sought to put
the east line thirty miles east Of the
sixth principal meridian where it
now is, so as to take in Washing
ton, Clay, Dickinson counties and
parts of several other counties. The
matter came before the committee
on boundaries. 1t was referred 70 a
subcommittee, which unanimously
approved the request of the North
west Kansas conference on general
principles, but suggested a legal
question as to whether the Kansas
conference on the east had proper
notice, since it Is interested in the
loss or retention of the strip OF
territory.
This point was referred to the
judiciary committee Of fifteen jur-
lists which is in effect the supreme
court Of the church. The judiciary
decided that the North
west Kansas conference had not Civ
en- legal and proper notice to the
Kansas conference On this report
the boundaries committee rejected
the whole matter.

PEACE, WELCOME
GERMAN TOPIC
Berlin Expects Another Visit from
Wilson Friend, X. NJ. House
ALLIES MOOD UNAsCERTAINED
Teutons Hope House VIII Come AS
: Peace Harbinger and Lay the
Foundations for Peace
Proposals

Berlin, May 27.-Another visit
by Col. E. M. House to Europe
would come as no surprise to init
lated quarters here. The American
rumors to this effect are regarded
as having a certain basis In fact, al
though the opinion prevails that the
trip naturally would be postponed
until after the national conventions.
1t is hoped here that should Col
onel House pay such visit, he
will come this time as a harbfnger
of peace, or to prepare, If posi-
BILE, the foundations for a peace
proposal, difficult as this task is
recognized to be.
The situation has changed since
his last visit. Apparently there is
no harm, from either a political or
strategical standpoint, in saying
that Germany would welcome peace.
Whether these events are enough
to induce the entente allies to re-
tire from what is looked upon here
as a losing game, and whether the
changed tone of the utterances are
indicative of receptivity toward rea-
sonable peace proposals, is an un-
certain factor in the reckoning.

There are lots of women who wish

know how. They cannot choose clothes
that bring out their best points. they
They haven't the fine sense that points
out the difference between things that
are smart and up-to-date and things
that are too extreme to be IN good

It is for women such as this that
the clothes specialist can work. And
she ought, in a community of reasona-

mend her to another. and her clientele
may grow very large.
The requisites to a clothes specialist
are good taste. tact and what Is called

woman knows all about her own looks
she may think about the clothes she

This expert must also know much
about color. for color is almost as i'm

the becoming quality of clothes. She
must know that certain shades of red
hair look best when their owner dresses
in dark blue or black. Other shades
can stand brown. She must know

Chiffon Cloth Is the Material.

The majority of these new blouses
are made of chiffon cloth, which is
durable. even if transparent. Any of
the new voiles will do as well as chif-
fon cloth, and. of course. jersey cloth
will be extensively used for these sepa-
rate garments that are substituted for
shirt waists.
The sketch shows one of pale pink
ish tan chiffon cloth, with a pink satin
girdle and collar and cuffs of itself.
This serves as good model for all the
rest. If one does not care for so much
material below the waist it can be
shortened and narrowed without sacri-
ficing the attractiveness of it.
1t Is not probable that the form of
this new blouse will enter into the

ways to be commended for children's

has been found that the health is greatly
benefited by wearing white garments
that admit light.
