Crossbar taffetas, in soft weaves,
made up In simple designs, are among
me unpretentious afternoon gowns that
make an instant appeal to most wom-
en-. There are several models Of this
character among almost every repre-

silks appear In all the colors used this
season, with crossbars In fine lines Of

Georgy wagstaff. daughter of Sir
George, Of the British admiralty, hints at
q liaison between her goyerness, Ethel
Willoughby. and Henry Streetman. Ethel
denies 1t. Henry Streetman calls on Ethel
and while waiting for her talks to Brews-
ter, Sir Georges butler, who is German
spy, about his failure to get at admiralty
papers in Sir Georges possession. He
phones to German secret service head
quarters. Streetman, the German spy, and
Roeder (alias Brewster, the butler) are
discussing the possibility of war. When
Ethel appears he tries to force her to get
from Sir George knowledge of the sailing
orders to the British fleet. Though she
believes him a French instead of a Ger
man spy, she refuses until he threatens
her. She begs him to announce their Sc
cret marriage, as Georgy is suspicious,
but he puts her off. At tea Georgy and
her lover Guy Falconer, tease Sir George,
and Streetman makes an awkward at
tempt to talk politics Streetman, the
German spy, Sir George Wagstaff, British
naval official, Ethel Willoughby secret
wife of Streetman, ad others are having
tea at the Wagsstaff home. The party is
discussing a play. Charlie Brown, news

"You know, think there is going to

Eve have been listening with great

You do. talk like German he
told Streetman after he had blown out
cloud Of smoke.
THAT is matter of opinion" the
other replied stif1iy.
"Yes, think he talks like a Ger
man, too" Georgy Wagstaff chimed
in. "But as we know he isn't one,
does it really matter? Go on,
gentlemen! Arguew Sir Georges
daughter was having the time of her
young life.
Heres one thing I'd like to know"
Guy put in-"where on earth Is all
the blooming money to come from"
my dear boy, there's nothing SO
elastic as national credit" his friend
from the States replied with a calm
assurance that came partly from the
speakers having, at one time in his
career, conducted the financial page
for his newspaper. "Why, down in that
two-byfour affair in Mexico, one of
their weekend presidents ran out OF
money; so he issued an order for fifty
thousand dollars. stuck a gun in the
other gentleman's chest, and said,
That is worth fifty thousand dollars
and it was"
Mrs. Falconer felt that it was hard
ly proper that the men should monopo-
lie all the conversation.

Think what 1t would mean--absolute
barbarism! And this is the twentieth
century,"
st would put US back a hundred
years." Sir George declared YEARLY
He both realized and dreaded the hor-
r0rs that he knew must inevitably at
tend such a titanic struggle as seemed
imminent.
"Its too horrible to think Of" Ethel
Willougbby exclaimed with something
approaching a shudder. at doesn't
seem real that we're sitting here quite
calmly talking over even the possible
ity Of such thing"
"And this won't be a war like other
wars" the American pointed out.
''There'll be no personal heroes-no
charges up San Juan hill--no bands
playing or flags flying. It's going to
