Given soft satins and filmy laces to
work with what designer of wOmGn's
clothes can resist draperies and frills!
Satin, when 1t falls in folds, plays
with the light and reveals all the beau
ty of color, and lace has always some
charming story to tell. The most is
made of them both in the handsome
dinner gown pictured here.
In the bodice very sheer black net is
posed over white lace and bordered
with narrow bands Of black paillettes.
Over this satin is wrapped about the
figure in q drapery high as one side
and terminating in long sash endS.
These are knottcd below the Waistline

made of beads. The skirt is gathered
Mt the waist and draped at the sides.
It is shorter than the underpettfcoat,
which is finished with a frill Of lace.

VELDT MARKS ITS JEWELLERS
Loneliness and Silence Affect Those
Doomed to Live in Plain of
British South Africa.

Before the Boer war there was q
saying current among the Beers of
South Africa that you could always
recognize a man who had spent five
years on the yeldt. This was a saying
no less true then than now, for the
veldt is a place Of great silence and
loneliness and it leaves its mark on
those who dwell in it.
The veldt Is the great plain of what
Is now British South Africa, the limit
less, featureless stretch of prairie dot
ted with knobs of hills that the Beers
call kopjes, pierced and gashed by
rain-washed gullies that run their
twisting course from horizon to hori-
zon. The word "veldt" Is closely al
lied to the German word for "world"
or universe" and the relationship Is
dence. To the man standing in the
midst Of this plain 1t seems to extend
In every direction to the outermost
limits of space.

without striking features to catch the
eye. A days trek among low hills
covered with gray grass, plods wear
fly through laile after mile of the same
hills, and ends In a dry valley as like
the valley Of the morning as one pea
is like another. After few days Of
this the traveller wonders If his prog
ross is not mere illusion, If he is not
returning day after day to the same
spot.
Now and again the monotony is
broken by some yeldt farm, q place Of
exceeding loneliness for the exiles who
till it. There will be farmhouse, a
barn. Il kraal, q we'll and few huts
for the kaflirs. To the railroad may
be distance of anywhere from 20 to
20 miles. Half the year the roads are
impossible. The little community
must be sufficient unto itself. Life on
veldt farm Is a severe test of the
inner resources of man or woman.

A lime for the Censor

While such a foolish senseless censorship is
proposed in the pending espionage bill is to be
demned it is evident that there should be
able censorship 1t struck very forcibly
being needed when, the other day. the steamer
Mongolia arrived at New York and gave out a report
that the naval gunners that vessel had sunk
German submarine the trip across. That is
obviously that for the good the country and
the Mongolia should have been withheld 1t is, of
course, gratifying to all of to know that subma
rne threatening American ship has been account
ed for, but when that reaches Germany
imagine that a special campaign will be ordered
against the Mongolia and the hazards of her future
trips the Atlantic will be increased.
While it is not definitely established that the
submarine actually sunk, for the testimony goes
only far as probably shattered periscope
a distance of LOCO yards doubt of the
German submarines which at that time securing
the seas, will fail Kiel Wilhelmshaven.
The Germans will accept the of the Mongoia's
exploit true, and credit that vessel with one of
the missing U-boats.
1t would have been sufficient think for it
to have been stated that submarine had been sunk
without Identifying any particular vessel American
British French with the incident.

A Vacancy That Will Be Felt

For three four years Phoenix has not been
disfigured by that annual dserace-the dog catcher
1t is disgrace any city that the dog population
should be regulated and controlled in this cruel and
disgusting way. The business of finding homes for
dogs distributing from the streets from homes
where they not wanted, places where they
would be cared for, was accepted by the county

prisingly simple He astonished at the
number of people who wanted dogs. AS result

there is county humane officer and
officer in the city take his duties within the
city. We understand that the county authorities feel
that the county afford the expense of the
office else doubt has been raised the
legality of expenditures for this purpose
At any rate there is humane officer and

lection of animals against cruelty We have of

For years the activities of the humane
officer well known that of hopelesSly

made relieve them of further suffering. There is
now nobody to attend to matters of this kind. We
think it would be well for the county and the city

PATRIOTIC SERMON
BY REV. BUCHANAN

Rev. W. S. Buchanan OF the First
Christian church yesterday morning
took for his text: Il beseech you there
fore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
to present your bodies living sacri-
flee. holy, acceptable to God which is
your spiritual service Also: But ye
shall receive power, when the Holy
Spirit is come upon you; and ye shall
be my witnesses both in Jerusalem ana
in all Judea and Samaria. and into the
uttermost part Of the earth" He said
in part:
1t stirs our souls when we see young
men offering their lives to their coun-
try. We love to read the history of our
own beloved country, how our fathers
sacrificed their blood that we might
have our independence and our free
dom. 1t is grand, beloved to he pat
TiOtic, il is noble to be patriotic; but
it is glorious TO be God like. It is more
than patriotism to he God-lik and to
do that which Jesus would have us to
do 1t is well for us to protect our
property to look well to our physical
body and the physical country and see
the spiritual body and the spiritual
Kingdom. Think Of your country not to
save it from the enemy which we call
the German empire or the Mexican r:a-
ton: but that we give our money and
our strength to save our country from
the enemy Satan and his mighty power.
We make an appeal in behalf of
America because of the msrcies of God.
God so loved America that he gave il
his son that America might not perish
that the world might be saved. Christ
died for America and all should know
it. God is willinB-therefore we must
carry the message.
We make this appeal because OF the
LOST souls of America. More than halt
of the people in America are without
Christ. Some of them have heard. in
deed possibly all of them have heard
of Christ. and yet when we travel in

The two great weapons liz this war
are arms and starvation. The war
against German arms will be won or
