tH recently French minister of war,
and popularly known as the Savior Of

General Gallieni, veteran Of the
Franco-Prussian war, was one of the
most brilliant members of the French
general staff
His daring stroke against the Ger
mans early in the war not only had
much TO do with saving Paris from
capture, but marked a turning point
in the European struggle
Advancing swiftly toward the French
capital the Germans had reached the
northern outskirts, where General
Manoury attacked the German flank
under Won Kluck.
The Germans were reinforced and
Manoury, in desperation, appealed to
General Gallieni, who had been ap-
pointed military governor of Paris
only a few days previously
Gallieni moved swiftly. BY telephone
he requisitioned every taxicab in Paris,
loaded them with zouaves from Tunis
who had just reached Paris, and sent
them dashing out to Manoury's aid.
Galiienis taxicab army saved the
day The Germans were then rolled
back and beaten at the Marne
General Gallieni was born In 1s49
and was OF slender, wiry build. He
saw service and won honors In the
French colonial possessions in Africa
He reached the age limit several years
ago, but his services were specially
extended
He became minister OF war Oct %
1915, and was succeeded by General
Rocques March 10, 1916, resigning or

Interest in table ware is widespread
an old plate, an antique cup is ire
quently more carefully cherished than

, are objects Of direct and distinct use
and their purpose should not be hidden.
The word pottery: is derived from the
Latin "potus," meaning cup or drink
ing vessel Later when the potters be-
gan fashioning deep bowls and other
Utensils for household use, the making
of crooks provided the word 'crockery.'
And now either word is used to name
clay substances which have Undergone

may be procured. The vivid colorng
probably explains its continued popu-
Iarity, and it is at home either in the
town house or bungalow.
Quite chintzy in effect is the OLD
Swansea pattern, which may be had in
open stock with or without the chintz
background. The colors, pink, blue.
yellow and green, are so we'll combined
that they unite in pleasing harmony. An.
other chintz design i'll Dolly Warden
effect has tiny sprigs Of flowers upon a
dotted background. The shapes are
plain and what it lacks in daintiness il
makes up in downright expression OF
practicability.
What could be prettier for the sum-
mer tea table than a Wedgewood set
distinguished by its border Of green or
yellow strikingly striped in black?
The present Queen Of England has a

article for table service in the same de-
sign at moderate price to grace oul
