Purim, minor feast In the Jewish

day OF March. The reading OF the
Book OF Esther from parchment
scroll on that day constitutes the
principal feature In the synagog

erance OF the Jews Of Persia through
the Intervention Of Queen Esther and
her kinsman Mordecai from a threat
ened massacre planned by Haman'
the kings yizier. In the words OF the
Book OF Esther II commemorate
the day wherein the Jews had rest
from their enemies and the month
which was turned unto them from
sorrow to gladness and from mourn

creed that the day be observed In o
Joyous spirit that finds expression IN
sending portions to one another and
gifts to the poor. Esther Chap. ,
verse 20l.

NINE SOLDIERS CAPTURE ll3
Frenehmen Trick the Defenders of a
German Field Fort on
the Somme.

One OF the most striking episodes
of the great Somme offensive was the
recent taking of the field fort at BIZ
aches and its garrison of 113 men
by o French soldiers.
All attempts TO storm the position
had been checked by murderOus ma
chine-gun fire until a French officer
discovered a vulnerable point. Sc
lecting a second lieutenant, two SER
geants, a corporal and four men, he
led them on hands and knees through
the long grass TO the spot where he
knew there was a breach in the de-
lenses. Then three of the French Of
ticers abruptly leaped into the work,
shouting in stentorian tones, For
ward with the bayonet!" and throw
ing bombs which exploded in the
dugOut.
The Germans, believing a large
force was with the Frenchmen, had
no time to get their weapons and sur
rendered. But now the three French
captors began to feel nervous, as
they saw no reason why the Germans
should not fall upon them and ex-
terminate them. They were saved
by the six comrades, who came rush
ing in just at this moment. Again
fooled, the entire German garrison
was marched to the French rear
escorted by the nine "%nOilus." who haL
not lost a man.

The Stoker IN Battle,

In the modern battleship, as is well
known, the stoker, like the oarsman of
ancient Roman galley, has his work
all below deck. The seafight RACES
above him, and he can rarely if ever
see a battle. One of the stories con-
nected with the battle of Jutland IL
Illustrates the stolid character of the
British stokers. A chance was given
two of these during the fight to come
from below. They were on the War
spite, which was heavily engaged. One
of them was telling q domestic story
to the other as they went up to the
deck. At the hottest moment of the
fight their grimy heads appeared at the
top of the hatch round which ~splinters
of shell were crashing. Above the
hellish din the impressive voice of the
storytelling stoker vas heard, as calm
as though at a pub" yer a mug o.
ale, saying, 81 always thought e or
to ave married 'er."

to the peplum under a soft crushed

front with a prim bow and buckle.
Round v~elvet-covered buttons and
small silk cord loops take care of the
front fastening.
The sleeves are long and flare a little
at the band, where they are slashed in
to rounded points. A soft collar Of
pique is worn inside the rolling collar
of silk.
AS to the silk suit for street or other
wear, it Is one Of the most satisfactory
possessions. Women who know how
to do decorative needlework can buy
plain suits and embellish them with en-
broideries that place them in the class
of exclusive designs. BY the addition
of other trimmings and fashion fea-
lures the plain suit may be converted
into an expression of individual taste,
as the season grows older.
