GENERAL JOFFRE ON GERMANY'S
WAR POLICY.

we have kept a very accurate record
in two parallel columns of our losses and
of the German reports of those same
losses. To illustrate the point, the other
day we lost at Scissors, as the result of
an unlmportant engagement, some six
teen or eighteen men and one or two
guns, and north of Seasons few pris-
oners were taken and a few metres of
trench. The Germans in their official
cOmmunlque reported this in the min
utest detail and with great precision,
their official published record agreeing
exactly with ours, as it always does on
minor details and engagements. But on
that same day they reported 1000 prison
ers taken near Verdun. What actually
happened at Verdun was, that we threw
out as sort of observation post salient
forming an angle in advance of the
main line, consisting of 900 men and a
few guns, with the order that this salient
should retire to the main line as soon as
1t was hard pressed. The men soon were
nard pressed and did retire, losing twen-
ty-six men and three guns. The Ger
man report of this was, that they had
beaten back the French line at this point
and taken 1000 prisoners. The result
of these eXaggerations since the begin
ming of the war shows grand total of
men taken and killed amounting to more
than the number of men that France has
equipped. liken this sort of thing to
panorama where there are few sticks,
stones. dried leaves and hits of grass in
the foreground which are real, but the
main scene, which is calculated to de-
ceive. is unreal, pure fake.
This has been Germany's policy since
the beginning, and some day the German
people will realize how they have been
fooled. "-September Atlantic.

cloud designs developed in silver, and
other patterns suggest Gothic arches of
cathedrals or the stained glass of cathe-
dral windows
Blocked and plaided silks of rich but
subdued colorings are to be used for
blouse and for day wear gowns combined
with wooden fabrics.
Velvets Prominent.
Velvets are prominent as always when
fur dominates the mode, as it does at
present. Light weight velvets, both in
corded and plain weaves, will be very
much won.
A Charming Model
A charming model in one of the new
Betty Wales" social dresses is of
panne velvet combined with white silk
net. In turquoise velvet it is especially
pretty, The net skirt is finished with
scant ruff1es of velvet, is topped by a
sleeveless over-blouse of the same ma
terial girdled with silver ribbon, and
showing the net in sleeve and bodice
finishes. Designed and made here in
New York these Betty Wales dresses
have captured the girls all over the coun-
try as completely as did the heroine of
the popular stories for whom they are
named. Their smartness of style and
beauty of colorng appeals to the girls,
while mothers like the quality of the ma
terials used in serge, silk or evening
frocks, and appreciate their hneness of
finish and modest price.
New Hats.
Velvet hats are displayed attractively
in both large and small shapes, many of
the best models built on small, brlmless
turSan frames, with either high puff ed
velvet emplacements surrounding the
crown, or with crowns on the "tam''
order, draped and posed in ways that
greatly increase the height of the hat.
Jet pins, bands, and other ornaments
are placed directly at the front of the
hat, and there is decided vogue for
ostrich used in the narrow bands and
small tips, particularly for gray feathers
on black hats. Silk beaver in black,
especially makes some of the smartest
blocked hats exhibited at the fashionable
stores. Stockings of wool are shown for
sports and will be appropriate for skat-
ing, which will doubtless be even more
popular next winter than last.

NEW YORK, Sept. IS, 1916. The stores

seem adequate to characterize the show

moonlight blue to the deepest and rich
est tones. Fine jardiniere floral stripes,
old time pompadours, and single flower
and leaf designs of mammoth proper
items, are some of the things to be noted
in the new showing. These will make
gorgeous evening wraps, or rich Innings
for mantles of fur, and will be employed
for evening and reception frocks, usually

woven combined with figured silk For
instance, there will be single flowers of
the metal joined by festoons of flowers
in the silk brocade. A large maple leaf
of silver is one of the notable patterns
of this sort. Orchid in the reddish hue
of that flower is favorite tone, its rich

A thing is tragic or humorous ac-
cording to the point of view. The
man who sits on a tack does not share
The onlookers' amusement. In fact he
is not only panied at his own mis-
fortune. but he is panied because he
occasioned someone else to find a de-
gree Of pleasure IN his unseemly plight.
Now it is perfectly safe to make this
positive statement in this connection: !:
The person who witnessed the others
unfortunate encounter with the tack
never deliberately sits on the SAME
tack himself; in fact. he is parucu-
larly cautious about sitting down any
whore soon thereafter without look
ing for a tack.
Nor is this an Indictment Of tacks.
Tacks serve a very real and useful
purpose in this world. but they have
their place, which is not in localities
where they may be sat upon.--Wil-
