w TITH genuine pleasure observe the marked ten
w dcncy of taste toward the perpendicular in gowns
Than the perpendicular line there is no factor
that contributes of mingled grace and dignity to
gown
Greater than the fabric, mgher than the color is the
line 1t has been said that every French designer bends
the knee to la gne 1t is proper mental attitude 1t
denotes Of values With evergrowing appre-
citation of the value Of the line faith the curve as the
essential line of beauty We long repeated that
phrase parroke 1t is truth rooted deep in psychol
ogy that what hear often incline to believe; what
hear often enough bound believe Echoes in
brain accept as the voice of truth though quite as
often it is the voice of fasehood At this moment of the
procession of the years that make twentieth century
accept with reservations the old precept The curve
is the line of beauty We know that to the building
plan Of gowns the straight line is very frequently the
line of beauty. Without doubt it is the line of at least
equal grace and is Of greater dignity than the curve
On this page appears what seems 10 me convincing
proof of the beauty value of the straight line

STRONG PLEA FOR
AMERICAN RIGHTS
Chronicle Says Blacklsting Has Been
Enforced in too Rigorous and In
discriminating Fashion.

LONDON, Jan. IS. - The Chronicle
devotes an editorial article this morning
TO plea for respect for the rights of
neutrals and complains that some Of the
British newspapers write habitually
Of neutrals with studied insolence e
which must be very embarrassing to
the foreign Office.
After defending in a general way the
interest and views of non belligerents
the Chronicle SAYS:
It is particularly necessary to show
consideration of America in the mat
ter of sea rights, in regard to which
American opinion has always been very
sensitive. 1t is not polite to irritate
American pedantic procedure without
any naval value or military necessity.
We are justified in scheduling on the
black list certain commercial firms in
neutral countries, but we fear the
blaeklisting has been enforced in too
rigorous and undiscriminating a fashion.
From the commercial point of view it
has not been all gain
"The paper instances the coaling diff.
ficulty III Trinidad and the West In
dies, and continues: 1.-The American
people have a great regard for Llovd
George and he has it in his power to
remove all causes of friction between
the two countries"

JUDGMENT AGAINST
BLANDIN REVERSED
Circuit Court of Appeals Renders De-
cision in Suit for Commission Brought
By Ostrander.

Attorney Hermon Z. Eddy has re-
ceived notice from the New York cir
cunt court Of appeals before which he
argued last December the appeal of the
case of George n. Ostrander of AL
bany, \. T., against A. n. Blandin,
president Of the Deerfeld Lumber Co.,
that the judgment of the lower court
against Mr.. Blandin had been reversed
and the cause remanded. The reversal
was on the ground of defective service
upon Mr.. Blandin. Mr.. Eddy repre-
sented Mr.. Blandin.
In October, 1912, the Somerset Land
Co. sold the so-called Battenkill tract
OF timberlands in Sunderland, Man
chester, Winhall and Stratton to the
Rich Lumber Co. Previously the
lands had been in the hands of George
y. Ostrander for sale to the Interna-
tlonal Paper Co. That sale fell through
and the Rich Lumber Co. went to Os-
trander for information in his posses
sion concerning the lands. After the
sale was made Ostrander claimed com
mission on the ground that it had been
made on information obtained from
him.
The Rich Lumber Co. and Mr.. Blan-
din, who had been acting as agent for
the Somerset Land Co., and the Deer
field Lunber Co., and who was
instrumental III making the sale, de-
! cllned TO pay the commission demanded
by Ostrander
In January, 1913, Ostrander brought
suit against Blandin and the Deerfeld
Lumber Co. in the superior court of
Saratoga county, n. Y, for $4,000
damages. The case was removed to
the United States district court for the
northern district of New York, where
motion to dismiss because Of defec-
tive service was argued The court
dismissed the case against the lumber
company, but sustained the one against
Blandin.
1t was tried in September, 1914, at
Watertown, y. Y, judgment being
granted against Blandin for about s25,-
600. The late G. C. Fits was princi-
pal counsel for the defendant. The
case was appealed to the Circuit Court
of Appeals and was argued in Decem-
Der by Mr.. Eddy.

id silence. with q great light stream
ing IN strange hluish colors toward the
SKY, while people held their breath and
tired to realize what had happened
Then another terrific. lightning like
flash and louder rumbling roar.
There was strange whistling sound
