The trouble about cutting off the
three-quarter Prince Albert coat which
was thrown into the fashion market in
early autumn is that it does not have
good swing or movement of fabric
after the alteration.
The new short Jacket is something
more taunty and has more of an air OF
bravado and youth than is possible in
the abbreviated Prince Albert coat
However. in the opinion of many
women, 1t is better to have the short

through the station she spied Jar

bound for the same train. With the

The situation appealed to her
taste for intrigue. Into the house
she sped and to her room. The
Professor and Ardelia were in bed
and asleep. When Jarvis came in
she descended, to inquire about the
fate of their play, with the calm
of finished actress.
"I'm waiting for you, What
news?" she demanded.
"He likes it. II the author is
satisfied, we go ahead at once"
ooh, goody! Jarvis, aren't you
happy about it?"

"But you aren't happy enough"
He sighed. 1t was all so diff

AWATORS IN FRENCH. ARMY WISH ID JOIN
 AMERICAN F ORCES

Paris September 1.-American avia tors serving in the French army, in cluding the relatively small group forming the Lafayette escadrille, have been canvassed by American officers as to whether they wish to leave their present service and join the American army. Seventy per cent of the Amer jeans immediately said they would like to go to the American army and aid aerial corps.
 Almost all the remaining 80 per cent replied that they would join the Amer ican army conditionally. One condi tion often mentioned was the para graph in the United States army regu- lations forbidding American soldiers from wearing foreign decorations. Many of these aviators have won by deeds of great courage some one or all of the French military orders, the legion of honor, the war cross or the military medal Under the French service regulations these decorations or ribbons representing them must be worn always on the uniform.
 The Americans are proud to have these distinctions and consider it would be lacking in respect for them to go into the American uniform and discard the French decorations.
 It has been suggested that the American regulations might be changed by new legislation which would also include provision for the bestowal of the American medal of honor upon foreign officers and soldiers for con Epicuous gallantry.
