New York, July 20.-"variety is
the spice of lfe," said some one at
some time SO long ago that the say
ing has become a proverb. 1t is true,
whether it be in scene, environment,
in fashions, or in food. Variety is
one thing which we possess in fash
ions this season; variety in silhou-
cites, in materials, in trimmings.
Smart clothes range in design from
the high wasted styles of the First
Empire, through fluffy frills of the
Mid-Victorian era and draperies al
most pannier-like, "peg-tops," and
last but not least, straight hanging
models which are compared to the

straps over the shoulders.
French embroidered lingerie now
has a rival in the Filipino hand-em-
broidered garments. These latter
have been growing in popularity,
and since the war and the scarcity
as well as high cost of the French
underwear there has been a swerv-
ing toward the revival of hand en-
broidery.
Low-Heeled Sports Shoes.
With sports clothes. service suits
and simplicity frocks comes suitable
footwear. Low-heeled half shoes
with sensible lasts are worn for
sports. Some of these shoes have
spring heels, others have heels three
quarters of an inch high, and often
the soles and heels are of rubber.
This does not mean that the foot
comes in contact with the rubber,
however, for there is a thickness Of
leather between the outside sole and
the foot. White is worn a great
deal for summer. Gray is very fash
ionable. and, of course. brown and

Are You One of Them?

There are a great many people who
would be very much benefited by TAX
ing Chamberlain's Tablets for a weak
or disordered stomach. Are you one
of them? Mrs. M. R. Scarf, Bald
winville. N. Y, relates her expert
ence in the use of these tablets: II
had a bad spell with my stomach
about six months ago, and was trou-
bled for two or three weeks with gas
and severe pains in the pit Of my
stomach. Our druggist advised me
to take Chamberlain's Tablets. 7
took bottle home and the first
dose relieved me wonderfully, and
kept on taking them until I was
cured" These tablets do not relieve
pain. but after the pain has been
relieved may prevent its recurrence.

Immediately following the Atlanta
conflagration of May 81, 1917, the
Committee on Fire Prevention, of the
National Board of Fire Underwriters,
dispatched one of Its most expert
enced engineers to the stricken city
in order to make close study of the
characteristics of the fire, the causes
to which II was due, and the lessons
which might be deduced from 1t. His
report, which has been eagerly await
ed in technical circles, has just been
published for limited free circula-
ton. Its great value consists in the
fact that the Atlanta conflagration
should serve as warning to hun
dreds of other American cities where
conflagration conditions now exist.
The report finds that the Atlanta
disaster was essentially a "shingle
roof" conflagration of the familiar
type; it notes that the fire depart
ment rendered excellent service, al
though somewhat handicapped by
lack of motor apparatus, insufficient
reserve supply of hose, and unpaved
streets at certain points; 1t refers to
the value of high pressures" on the
water system, commends the assist
ance rendered by military organiza-
tons, questions the utility of the
dynamiting of buildings, and records
the fact that some of the hose sent
from nearby cities could not be used
through lack of standardized coupl-
ings. The reports greatest empha-
sis, however, is laid upon bad roof
ing conditions, which are summed up
in the following statement:

Black Lingerie Next!
In Paris, 1t is said, that the girls
once working in the laundries
have abandoned them Tor work in the
munition plants. To this is attribut-
ed the popularity of black lingerie!
Black corsets, chemise and even
black combinations. Silk wolfe, crepe
de chine and pongee seem to be the
materials largely employed, also the
glove silk which has been so popu-
lar in white and the dainty colors.

dynasty. They range from the smart
est of low-necked evening frocks of
silk and satin to the simplest of ging-
hams, and from these to the tam
NEST of service suits.
Under the name Of service suits
come a number Of military models of
which the sketch illustrated is a good
example. Instead of being made of
khaki, this suit is made of heather
jersey, which Is a color mixture in
which brown is flecked with deep
pink, green and lavender. An in
verified pleat in the back Of the coat
adds to its style.
Another military model which I
saw very recently departed widely
from the military in its development,
for it was made entirely of balsam-
green tussur. a reminder of green
leaves and cool breezes in a Robin
Hood forest.
Although every ones mind is run
ming more or less toward serving the
country and very naturally toward
costumes which would be practical
for any task that one might choose.
there are also charming frocks for
other occasions.

CAROLINE WAR; WAS SHORT
Border Trouble Between United States
and Canada Threatened for Time,
However, to BE Serious.

The "Caroline war" was a border
trouble between the United States and
Canada, in which few persons were
killed, but the trouble did not last
long. In 1867 there was a strong re-
publican spirit rife in parts of lower
Canada which eliminated in Decem-
Der, 1887, in an unsuccessful insurrec-
ton in Toronto. The leaders of the
fnsurrection fed to the United States,
and one of them, newspaper man
named Mackenzie, with % or 80 men,
including a few from the American
side who had joined him, seized an is
land in the Niagara river and set up
a provisional government. Their navy
consisted of a steamboat called the
Caroline, and one dark night while she
was lying on the American side party
Of Canadians crossed the river and
burned the boat, killing several men
on board of her.
The affair caused great indignation.
President Van Buren, issued proclama-
tions demanding observance of the neu-
trality laws. The New York militia
was called out and placed under COM
mand of Gen. Winfield Scott. Presi-
dent Van Buren, characterized the
burning Of the Caroline in American
waters as San outrage of a most aggra-
waited character" and concluded by ask
ing congress fos "sucP appropriations
as the circumstances in which our
country is thus Unexpectedly placed re-
quire"~ The affair dragged along a
few years, but was finally.settled with
out further bloodshed.
