PINKNEYS PLACE IN HISTORY
His Fame as the Greatest Lawyer the
United States Has Produced
Is Secure.

Even that triteSt of truiSmS, the
ephemerality of a lawyers fame, offers
no adequate explanation of the Obscur-
ity in which sleeps the genius of Will
liam Pinkney. For Pinkney was not
merely a great lawyer. According to
testimony that leaves no room for
doubt or controversy, he was the very
greatest lawyer that this country has
ever produced.
Nor was this all. He served his cOun-
try with distinction and success in the
labyrinths Of diplomacy, at the cabinet
on the field of battle. Above all, at a
most critical point of our history, when
the clamOr of contending sections dis
turbed the tranquility of the Sage OF
Monticello, 'like a fire bell ringing in
the night" 20 use JeffersOn'S own ex-
pressive phrase, 1t was Pinkney who
rose to the occasion and recalled Sena-
tors to a sense of their duty and pa
triotism.
Of him John Marshall said that he
was the greatest man he had ever seen
in a court of justice. Of him Taney
wrote in 1854: 81 have heard almost
all the great advocates of the United
States, both of the past and present
generation, but have seen none equal
to him." Of him Story remarked !:
ellis clear and forcible manner of put
ting his cases before the court, his
powerful and commanding eloquence,
occasionally illumined with sparkling
lights, but always logical and appro-
pirate and above all, his accurate and
discriminating law knowledge, which
he pours out with wonderful precision,
give him, in my opinion, great su-
periority over every man whom have
known"
When such court unanimously con-
ours in rendering judgment, bold IN
deed the man who claims an appeal

SIMPLE WAY TO TEST CREAM
French Scientist Has Given 10 the
World a Discovery That Is OF
Distinct Value.

Professor Lindet of the French
Agronomic institute has given TO the
Academy of Agriculture a very simple
process for calculating rapidly the
quantity of fatty matter in cream.
1t is the fatty matter that gives cream
its quality, the more of this butter the
better the cream. This is the process:
A drop of cream is placed upon a
sheet of paper and introduced at once
into an oven heated TO 105 degrees
centigrade. The watery part of the
cream evaporates and the fat, ah-
sorbed by the paper, forms a spot
when enlarges rapidly at first then
more slowly as the edges of the spot
increase their distance from the point
at which the drop has been placed.
At the end of a specified time the area
of the spot is measured and compared
with that of a spot formed by a drop
of pure grease of the same size de-
posted at the same time and under
identical conditions.
Professor Lindet uses drops of 1-lOO
of a cubic centimeter in size, ana
places his paper in wooden frames to
prevent it from curling up in the
oven. He removes it before the spots
have spread to more than three or
four centimeterS in diameter.

Corpus Christi Day.

Corpus Christi kept today by all
Roman and Anglican Catholics, Is
connected with two towns prominent
in the present war. 1t arose from the
dream of n religious lady ar Leige, and
was formally sanctioned in 1864 by a
bishop of Verdun who became Pope. 1t
came to England about 1920, and was
soon made a popular fcte. In Wales
on this anniversary the doorways OF
houses were decked with flowers, the
maidenhair fern being chiefly selected
for the purpose. Previous to the re-
cent Anglican revival Corpus Christi
day was kept at the Oxford college. 1t
has been observed for five centuries
in the city of London by the Worship
full company of Skinners, who attend
in state their special service at st.
Mary Aldermary. But the "Skinners"
who walk in the procession now carry
posies of flowers instead of the war
torches" mentioned by Stow.-London

Chanel in the Trenches.

In one of the French trenches the
men have constructed n small chapel
underneath the earth. 1t is sufficient
ly large to admit 20 men at the same
time. Every effort has been made by
the clever w0rkmen who have built IT.,
skilled miners from the district of La
Loire, to make the underground chapel
difficult of bombardment. The inte-
rior ornamentation has been carried
to high perfection, for parquet floor,
carpets, candlesticks, kneeling chairs
saved from the ruined churches are to
be found in it. A wooden altar has
been erected in the trench chapel, and
a magnificent French flag, the gift OF
an officer, has been hung in it.

quite simple one with the fronts
Tapped in surplice style. The skirt
consists OF three flounces and the
foundation extends to knee depth.
The diagrams which accompany
the patterns show both the blouse
and skirt laid out on material forty
four inches wide Since there is no
matc-ia! wide enough TO cut the
1ounces in one piece. the selvaged
edges must be joined to give the
necessary length. If the material is
narrower, the piecings will be made
on different lines but the pattern will
be laid out in the same way. The
organdie used for the little crossed
over portion or chenisette and collar
may be white or blue or flesh color as
may best suit the individual for it will
be correct whichever Of the three
colors is chosen Colored accessories
are much in vogue and white is al
ways dainty and generally becoming.
Here, the blouse is very simple
one with fronts that are gathered at
the shoulder edges. but the pattern
includes a cape and peplum which
can be used if liked and for. which
directions will be found on the en-
velope.
To make the gown as it stands.
first smooth out the pattern Pin all
the pieces into place and cut around
the outside edges, for the seams are
allowed and you have no calculations
to make, the work has been done for
you. Mark the perforations and
notches and carry them through to
the under-side with tailors tacks
Be sure to remember that the tiny
perforations within the edges indicate
the basting and sewing lines
Gather the fronts of the blouse at
the shoulder edges between the double
crosses and join to the shoulder edges
of the back, taking up first tiny seam
on the right side, then second seam
on the wrong side, and stitch it to the
second seam on the perforations.
Join the under-arm edges in the same
way and join the edges of the sleeves.
To make the cuffs neatly they require
to be lined, therefore, you must cut a
lining exactly like the outside but from
some thin material, preferably Habutai
silk or the silk and cotton Mouselline
that is so much used for lining summer

edges of the cuffs to the sleeves with
- the large perforations meeting the
seams of the sleeves and the notches
meeting, then fell the edges of the
lining over the seams. The frills you
have cut from the organdie. The
prettiest finish for them, for the
chemisetts and for the collar will be
picot edges which are obtained by
machine hemstitching cut through the
center, but if that is not obtainable,
you can either buttonhole them with
thread of moderate weight or you can
finish them with tiny little lace whipped
to rolled edges. Join the ends of the
cuffs, using the double seams and
then join to the outside material of
the cuffs with the seams and notches
exactly meeting and fell the lining
of the cuffs over the seams. Place
the sleeves in the armholes with the
seams at the notches and the single
perforations exactly together, and
hold the sleeves toward you as you
basic into place, for when you do this
the little extra fullness that is in the
sleeves will be taken up naturally and
SO provide the needed spring over the
shoulders. II the sleeves were of the
exact size of the armholes, they would
draw. Bind the seams with thin
seam binding and press fiat, then turn
up under the blouse and tack to the
shoulder seams. Gather the blouse
on the lower line of perforations.
Cut piece of betting two and one-half
inches wide and the length of the belt
in the pattern. If need be take up
tiny darts to fit it to form figure.
Then arrange the blouse over it.
allowing one-half inch Of the betting to
extend below the edge of the blouse.
for you will want to join the skirt to
this belt to make a one-piece gown.
Lap the right side of the chelnisette
portion over the left with the large
perforations meeting and haste. then
arrange under the blouse with the edges
Of the blouse at the perforations
Basic into place and fell the inner
edges of the chemisette portion to
position. Sew the collar to the neck
edge with the center backs and notches
meeting and fell thin seam binding
over the seam.
To make the skirt for a one-piecc
costume, close the seams at the back
all the way to the upper edges. then

Comfort SOUGHT For" in all House Garments
THE present is a season Of
essentially feminine effects

o." kJ1CSC1AI 10 a SCoSO1I VI
essentially feminine effects
in underwear and even the
plainest, simplest garments Of
morning wear. In the illus
tration are found a night gown
that will make an appeal be-
cause Of its very simplicity, a
combination undergarment that
is made Of fine aouncing and
batiste. a kimono that is one of
the most satisfactory and
thoroughly comfortable that
could be offered and two USE
full garments which will make
a certain appeal to the busy
housewife.
The night gown is in kimono
style that is so comfortable and
so becoming. The neck and
sleeves are finished with under
facings and hemstitched and
with big buttonholes through
which soft ribbon is passed.
There is almost no work re-
quired to make such a garment
and it would be hard to find a
prettier one. Scalloped edges
may be used and embroidery
can be employed if liked but
it is simplicity Of this garment
that means its charm.
The corset-cover is one Of
the best liked Of the season
and these straight covers are
worn under fancy blouses as
we'll as for evening dress. The
embroidery. is excellent for
general wear. For evening use
lace Aouncing over net or net
with trimmed edges or with
the Georgette crepe that seems
to fill almost every feminine
need. The Aounce of the petit
coat is joined to the lower edge.
For evening wear it would be
dainty to make the upper part
Of crepe de chine and the
Aounce Of lace and crepe de
chine as a lining.
There is a special comfort
to be found in the double
breasted kimono for it wraps
about one in a most attract
i've and satisfactory manner.
