In 50 Doing Ishli Reaffirms Japan's
Devotion to Allies-An Inspiring
Scene-For World of Liberty
washington Dispatch, Aug. 26.
Viscount Ishii, the special ambas-
sador from Japan, placing a wreath
OF roses and chrysanthemums IN the
tomb OF George Washington at Mount
vernon today, claimed the right of
Japan to honor Washington's mem
DRY and reaffirmed her devotion to
the allies cause and the principles
Tor Which they wage battle.
The members Of the Japanese mis-
Sion with Secretary and Mrs. Dan
iels as hosts, sailed down the Poto-
mac on the Presidents yacht Nav
Hover. Accompanying them were
Ambassador Sato, Secretaries Lans-
ing, hedfield and Baker, Postmaster
General Burleson, Speaker Clark.
members Of the Senate and House.
nigh officers Of the army, navy ard
marine crops, members Of the mis-
slons Of other European countries and
many prominent people in diplomatic
and official life.
With the red sun of Japan on a
white field waving with the stars
and stripes aboe him, the represent
atlve OF one of oldest civilizations
on earth, on the soil of one of the
Youngest, paid a remarkable tribute
tc the memory of the only man who
has alike been honored and is honor
ed by the nations warning for democ-
racy.
Viscount Ishii said:
In the name Of my gracious SOW
erelgn, the emperor of japan, and
representing all the liberty-loving
people who own his sway, stand to-
day in this sacred presence-not to
euloglze the name of Washington
for that were presumption-but to
offer the simple tribute of peoples
reverence and love-.
"Washington was an American, but
America, great as she is, powerful
as she is, certain as she is of he1
splendid destiny, can lay no exclusive
claim to this immortal name. Wash
ington is now citizen of the world
today he belongs to all mankind Anc
so men come here from the ends Of
, the earth to honor his memory anc
to reiterate their faith in the princi
pies to which his great life was de-
voted.
Japan claims entrance to this holy
circle. She yields to none in rever

her people to cross.

Fire shortly after o'clock this

closing a bright lining of contrasting
material on the reverse side. From
the front, these side panels seem ut
first to be nothing but the familiar
tunic which appears quite often in the
new dresses showing the narrower un-
derskirts.
Another treatment of side panels
appears in some skirts where the pan
ell extends to the lower edge of the
skirt, is attached there, and falls soft
ly over the edge in pulled or draped
effect. Pulled all around in initiation
of the Turkish trouser effect, are some
of these skirts of evening dresses. In
the supple taffetas and silver tissue
cloths, dresses in this style are ex-
tremely graceful, the skirts devoid of
any trimming whatever and the bod
ices fitting rather snugly in contrast.
The bodices are in reality hardly more
than deep bands suspended by straps
of ribbon over the shoulders. Sleeves
there are none, unles the bands across
the upper part of the arms are so
called. In other styles OF evening

style. Suede shoes, laced in front or
buttoned at the side, may almost be
said to be taking the place of kid
shoes, so popular are they.
The dress of broadcloth in the Sec
ond sketch shows one of the new over
dress styles worn with guinpe. A
full box-pleated skirt is attached to a
straight hanging jumper little below
the normal waistline, and the whole
hangs from the shoulders. The wor-
sted embroidery on the front of the
jumper and on the pockets is worked
in black, red and yellow. Rich en-
broideries continue to figure very
prominently in all dresses. One of the
latest models in oyster-white tussor
had wide embroidered panel front
and back worked in thin silk in close
design and giving strong Oriental
effect. The panel was finished at the
ends with fringe of the colored silks
used in the neutrality-suspicious. red,

with blue and gold beads; another in

color schemes.
The Latest Fads in Underwear.
Speaking of Georgette- sheer
fabric is put to all sorts of uses, and
does not stop at dresses but appears
to be quite favorite for underwear.
The most appealing shades are pale
blue, lavender and flesh color, fashion
undergarments of every description.
Though they are hardly practical,
there are many who find it impossible
to resist these dainty garments. I'm
derwear seems to be getting more and
more elaborate, and the very latest
fad is the combination of silver lace
with Georgette. Beadwork, too, has
invaded the underwear and it has been
seen on the new pajamas and night
gowns of Georgette crepe. There are,
however, some exceedingly dainty
pieces of lingerie which are quite
practical after all. Among these are
the silk and wash satin undergarments
which are very practical as long as
they are carefully Numbered. The
delicate shades must be washed with
care to preserve their colors, and there
is no denying that it is we'll worth the
trouble for the satisfaction that one
feels from possessing dainty lingerie.

A Political Genius.

Congressman sometimes adopt queer
expedients to gain the good will of
their constituents. Years ago a mem
Der from a western state was afraid
that his first term would be his last.
as he had not managed to make him
self power in congress. While he was
debating what he should do friend
said, 'You live near the center of the
United States. don't your? yes"
Then why don't you introduce a bill
to have the capital moved to the prin-
cipal town in your districtw The con-
gresham introduced the bill, and the
people of his district at once concluded
he was great man and sent him back
for another term. He reintroduced the
bill in the next congress, and, although
it was promptly pigeonholed in COM
mittee, his constituents gave him
third term as reward for his genius.

RIDDLES OF CHILDHOOD.
Did You Ever Spring One Of These Old
Timers on Your Parents?

We are just beginning to realize how
much our parents did for us. We were
the youngest Of ten children. and yet
when we asked them, What is it that
is black and white and read all Over!'
they were just as patient with us as
if they had not "give up answering it
for nine others.
The other day Bryan ran all the way
home from school, and as soon as he
could get his breath he asked us, What
state is it that is round at both ends
and high in the middle?" When we
sprang that one at home thirty years
ago they guessed every state in the
union except Ohio.
In city, where few people keep
cows, children cannot fully grasp the
beauty and depth of this one: what
is it that is big at the bottom and little
at the top and in the middle goes flip
perry flop" Of course we didn't guess
this when we heard it; but, having
churned great deal, it was an easy
matter for us to understand it as soon
as we were told.
Little Woodrow doesn't get out enough
to learn much, but we are sure he will
turn out to be very bright. Already
he can write fred" with just any old
pencil.
A real classic was brought to our
home about quarter of century ago
by sister who had been away to
school. She came in somewhere near
midnight, but she awoke us all to ask :
"What's this: Round as a biscuit, busy
as bee, the prettiest little thing ever
did see?" Well, we all had to "give up
on that one. There were several good,
average intellects in the house, but as
there had never been a watch in the
family none of us could solve the riddle.
AS there are only four in our family
we must feign bewilderment about the
same things only four times, but just
think how much of this was endured
by the old fashioned parents who had
ten or twelve yOungsters.-FOrtW Worth
