Dear Sir: We beg to acknowledge

LONDON, April i4.--British Off
cials professed to see In Germany's s
note TO America positive proof that
the Sussex was torpedoed. II was de-
clared that no other vessel in the
channel was torpedoed at the same
time. The Sussex was damaged AT
3:50 in the afternoon. The kaisers
reply admits that submarine attack
ed a ship in the channel at 3:55. The
German reply fixes the IDENTICAL To-
cation. The Sussex was making ID
knots when the explosion occurred.
The Germans said a vessel was suns
while going al Is knots. The entire
forward quarter of the Sussex was
torn away by the blast Germany said
that this happened TO a minelayer al
legged to have been torpedoed there.
Nobody saw submarine Germany
said a submarine launched a torpedo
at the minelayer while submerged
Only in the description Of the vessel
attacked does the reply IA to tally
with the Sussex. 1t was argued that
the details might easily be mistaken
in sketching the likeness through the
periscope.

intelligent buying on the housewives
of the country.
All fashion indications point to a re-
turn--if not this spring at least before
the year is out--of the waist that is
tapering. And in this promised change
of fashion corset manufacturers see a
promise of better business conditions
than they have enjoyed for years.
Corsets that are laced very tight wear
out quickly, they reason, and hence it
means greater prosperity if women
can be induced to look with favor on
the waist line that resembles, in pro-
portions, that of the wasp.
Well, let's hope for better business
for the corset makers as we would
wish for success to all manufacturers
Let's hope even that in the vogue that
is coming for snugly fitting bodiees
women will even need to pay more
attention to the trimness of their
stays. But, in the name of good sense
and good health, of grace and real
beauty, don't let us allow the corset
manufacturers to induce us to return
to an era of tight lacing-an evil which
the optimistic among US feel confident
will never come to plague women
who follow the fashion.
MARY MARSHALL.
The Washington herald., 1916-01-07
SHOULD WE ALWAYS BUY THE
BEST7

A learned professor out in the Uni
versity of Wisconsin recently pub
lished booklet anent the importance
of buying nothing but the best pos
sible fabrics. According to this au-
thority American women-for we
may assume that it is the women
who buy the great majority of fab
rics sold in this country-are de-
hcient in the ability to judge quality
of material, and are also indifferent
to the importance of buying nothing
but the best available materials.
From some of this hostile criticism
Washington women are exempt If the
judgment of one of the leading cloak
and suit buyers in the city may be
taken as conclusive. For, according
to this observer, women here are
much keener observers of the quality
of suits and cloaks than are the
average shoppers of New York and
other large cities. Here women are
not content to buy merely for the eff
feet. They do not select suit mere
ly because it pleases them in color
and style. 1t must also have wearing
qualities-it must be good for the
