Surprising agreement on peace terms between

Benedict.-E1change.
1t takes q bright newspaper man to
discover any "peace terms" in the replies

are just the principles utterly disregarded
by Germany in the past. And President
Wilson has we'll expressed the world
feeling as to how much Germany can be

The need for sweaters for the soldiers

Is 80 urgent that the Manager OF the
New England Division Of the Red Gross
has designated Friday, October II,
Columbus Day, - Sweater Day" for
all of New England. At least 10000
more sweaters are needed at Aver alone,
to be made sleeveless according to the
regular Red Cross knitting directions.
Every woman 10 New Bngland who can
knit 10 urged 70 complete . sweater by

One of the amusing things this war
has produced is that story OF the cargo
steamer crossing the Atlantic which had
q hold full of locomotives, and the bells
changed all the time with the rolling OF
the ship, so that nobody slept on account
of the awful racket, which there was no
way to stop. Even a landlubber can

Because of its pockets and buttons

written boldly on the suit pictured.
And because of her suit and hat and

their wearer Is above question; she
knows smart style and chooses it for
her own.
1t does not take long to tell the
story Of the pretty suit, since its skirt
is plain and all its points of interest
centered In the coat, which is short.
Although women are reluctant about
giving up short skirts, this model

One Of the developments of the one
piece dress, which makes of it good
model for the promenade, is shown in
the accompanying photograph. It
hooks like a plated skirt of silk jer-
sey. with plain coat suggestive Of
q sweater, but its looks are mislead-
tng. 1t Is one-piece garment, and 1t
might be made In serge, gaberdine, or
any pliable wooden goods. Like SO
many others. It bears the imprint of
sports styles In the straight lines of
the body. In the long girdle which is
wrapped easily about the waist, and in
The patch pockets.
This is one of those designs which
rhre adapted to almost any color. 1t has
a number of novel finishing touches
that give 1t distinction which will
match up with the peculiar shades Of
green land the beautiful blues that
fRave captivated everybody. But what
aver color is chosen must be used
throughout. The ties at the throat,
cf brocaded ribbons, furnish all the
contrast needed.
1t Is noticeable that the sleeves are
OF the same material as the dress and
