stays also. A rosette of six loops con- ceals the hook-and-eye fastening at the back, and there are two long sash ends and one pendant loop below it.
 The boudoir cap is made of wide light blue satin ribbon. The ribbon is shirred and joined to the circular piece at the center of the crown with piping. A row of shirring makes a frill about the cap, and this is edged with quilting of very narrow ribbon like the cap in color. There is a fine lace frill over that of ribbon. A sash of narrower satin ribbon tied in a simple bow, with hanging loop and ends at left, is held to the cap by little clusters of tiny ribbon roses. They are made in pink, blue and maize and set against the sash at four places, two on each side.
 The garters are made of purple rib bon lined with white and finished with roses made of the same ribbons

Dainty Ribbon Belongings

All women love and want the dainty things made of ribbon, that blossom out each year along with the flowers of spring Those who exploit ribbons never overlook the Eastertime de- mand for accessories Of dress made of their beautiful wares.
 Bags and vestees are made of the brighter and richest of wide ribbons.
 Girdles for wear with lingerie gowns (which have already made their ap- pearance) are made of plain satin rib bons, and one of the best of the new designs is shown in the picture. The ribbon is about five inches wide, of soft satin in light blue. Three pieces of equal length are folded along the center and these folds caught down with clusters of small ribbon roses in light pink. The three strands of the girdle are caught together at each side with stay to which each is tackled and their ends are sewed to

The Dumb Detective
By VICTOR RADCLIFFE

Copyright, 1916. by W. G. Chapman)
 "Out of the way, you brute!"
 With the word, Perry Hull gave the stray dog lying on the mat out side of the door of his place of resi- dence kick that sent the animal roll ing to the bottom of the steps.
 The dog was a mongrel, ill fed, seemingly homeless and friendless. It did not skulk, however. Landing on it's feet the animal bristled. Its eyes eyes were fixed upon it's persecutor with look that said plainly:
 q won't forget you!"
 Then the animal slowly proceeded down the street, holding up one foot, which the kick had temporarily crippled.
 Hull disappeared within the house, waving his hand airily to the compan- ion from whom he had just parted, Arthur Hope. The latter never re- turned the salutation. He had ob- served the cruel treatment of the dog. He hurried his steps and came up with the disabled animal.
 You poor creature!" he said pity ingly, and he stopped and patted the head of the animal, who looked con- fidingly into his face and wagged his stump of a tail and whimpered a trifle.
 You come home with me-" continued Hope. 'Tt won't be far," and the

BACKACHE AND KIDNEYS

Dear MT. Editor:
 For the benefit of others, I gladly give this statement regarding the merits of "Anuric." Am nearly 76 years of age. I suffered from back ache, weak back, rheumatism, and could not control the excretion of the kidneys. I can safely say that "An- uric," the new discovery of Dr. Pierce, of Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y, has done me more real good than anything I have ever taken for these ailments. Signed-Mrs. N. M. Flint.
 NOTE:-A new remedy, called "An- uric," has been discovered by Dr. Pierce. It cures backache, headache and the darting pains and aches of rheumatism, kidney and bladder troubles. This "Anuric" is 37 times more potent than nthia, and dissolves uric acid, as hot water does sugar.

Korean EtiQuette,

A recent Washington dispatch de clares that good many changes have taken place in Korean manners and etiquette since the Japanese came into control. A girls high school was es. tablished at Seoul in 1908, and the girls who were admitted, fifty-four in number, were the daughters of noble. men. The teachers were women at first, but as the needs of the school grew and became more exacting, few male instructors were appointed. The community in general, and the pupils parents in particular, were enraged, alleging that it was an unpardonable offense for men to enter the gste of a girls school, even if they were teach. CTS.
 The school authorities, therefore, made a concession that the male teachers should veil their faces when they passed the gate of the school It is an absurd evasion, but the students parents were satisfied with it. Some of the girls are attended by two or three chaperons, or maids, even when at their studies.-Youth's Companion.

of entirely new departures in cutting. The sleeves and shoulders are in one piece, with long pointed extension which takes the place of yoke and side bodies. The coat skirt is set on to this and extended to the neck at the front and back, with the fashionable fullness taken care of at the sides. The collar opens at the front with V. which is repeated in the back of each cuff. Two buttons on the cuffs show single concession to mere decoration on this elegent garment, which is plain just to the verge of severity. It fastens up the front with buttons and button holes. AS in all the better coats, its tailoring is faultless, and 1t is this more than anything else that recon ciles the discriminating buyer to the stiff prices that are demanded this sea- son.
 There are many sports coats that are in the running for summer outdoor wear, but if only one coat is to be bought the plainer and more elegant models serve every purpose and give more satisfaction.

It would have been challenge to
the German nation to trial at arms.
It would have been a violation Of ev-
cry principle Of neutrality, and at a
time, with all Europe under arms,
when this country was the trustee Of

The seizure itself would have been
an act Of war, just as the seizure Of
German interned ships by Portugal
was regarded as an act Of war and
was followed by an immediate declara-

From their public statements the
conclusion is Inevitable that If either
Roosevelt or Hughes had been Presi-

Seals Can Drown.

1t is curious fact that the fur seal
was once land animal. The baby
seals are actually afraid of water;
they would drown if thrown into it,
and have to learn to swim by repeated
efforts. When once they have been
taught to swim, however, they soon
forget to walk.
There are in existence only two i'm

which has its breeding ground in the
