The dainty little frock for a four TO
six-year-old girl shown in the sketch
is according to both the straight line
and empire in effects. The panel front
adheres to the former, while the short
waist or long yoke extending from the
panel on either side entirely around
the back of the frock is of the empire
family. Sheer handkerchief linen is
suggested as the material for the dress,
with fine hand embroidery giving the
necessary trimming touch. The ques-
ton Of fabric, however, is one that
may be decided by the mother, as n
lightweight cotton or linen material
would be suitable for the dress. 1t is
not q good model for a heavy linen or
pique.
To make the dress for q four or FIVE
year-old girl two and a half yards of
material SO inches wide will be re-
auired. The garment buttons in the

that the feminine leaning to trousered

IL Sounds Ridiculous.

Joseph III. Choate said, at n lunch
con in New York:
when the Germans talk about pro-
tecting little nations, freeing the seas
and championing international law, ii
sounds so ridiculous that 1t reminds me
of the tramp.
Lady said the tramp to a farmers
wife, could you oblige me with the
loan of a cake of sOap?'
1.-THE farmers wife threw up her
hands.
Soap she said. DO you TO
tell me you desire soapr
"'Yas'm,' said the tramp. Me part

cheerful sound of the egg heater which

her mother appeared in the doorway
with a troubled face.
"Dearie." she said, Il haven't a bit

running over to the grocery"
Not in the least!' cried Eunice.
1T would be good for me-"
She had made her purchases when
n woman standing next to her called
out to the grocer: "Say. Mr.. Bethel

TRINKET TRAY EASILY MADE
Pretty and Useful Little Baskets Can
Be Manufactured Out Of Any Well
Made Cardboard Box.

Pretty little baskets of the nature
shown in the sketch are useful for
many purposes, and they can be made
in great variety and in different shapes
and sizes from oddments that will be
found ready at hand at hone. In
fact, airy well-made cardboard box can
be utilized for the purpose. The sides
of the box should be covered smooth
ly with some pretty remnant of silk
or c%retonne. This can be done by turn
ing the material over at the edges and
fastening it on just inside and under
meath the box with seccotine or some
other strong adhesive. The inside of
the box is closely lined with soft silk,
selected of some pale shade of color

Solid Colors for Gowns

Considerable amount of green is be-
Ing worn both in suits and dresses. In
suits ii is not infrequent to see green
predominating in plaid designs, used
on the bias on the skirt or only rs trim
mings. For one-piece dresses solid-col-
Ored fabrics are almost always en-
ployed. The green's seen are of the
dark and warm variety, somewhat like
sap green or lighter shades of Russian
green. Tie trimmings used with these
greens ar. reds, citron, black, buff.

The End of the Road

By E. F. Collier
"Yes, my lad, l joyous
drank and sang happy roundelay;
Dspelled each darksome rumor
Dispensed satiric humor
And laughed each doubt and sullen fear away
Compunction then folly.
lndulgence?-t jolly,
But my joy has turned to horror and dismay;
I'm shambling, pased sequel
To the youth that knew equal
In the ribald, nestaincd revels yesterday"
Yes, lad, and | was boastful-
had contempt for those more weak than l.
scorned the spineless rotter
Who drank his gin, like
Enslaved too much to halt pass it by.
In and knightly fashion
governed feshy passion,
But blatant Boosting met its dire reply;
And this foul, accursed conclusion
OF my Wanted vain deusion
Is a warning, lad, that dare decry."

TO MAKE LESS BEER
Great Britain Will Cut Output of
Malt Liquor in Half

In order to reduce the consumption
of foodstuffs by the breweries OF
Great Britain, the official food con-
troller has decided that the quantity
of beer to be brewed this year shall
be restricted to about one-half of the
output in the year preceding the war.
The war cabinet has approved the
order and has made restrictions on
the release of wines and spirits from
bond. In issuing his order for de-
crease in beer production, the food
controller says:
"The barley, sugar and other ingrc-
dents used in brewing are required
for food. In fact, it is really qnes-
ton of bread versus beer"
But has not Great Britain been told
by her brewers that beer is a food
in fact, liquid bread? This is the stuff
handed OFT to Americans by Ameri-
can brewers.
