hung a large bronze tablet-the
imperishable motto OF verdun:

There was a hushed silence:
"My dear friends from beyond
the seas" he said. Il lift my
glass to toast the nation that has
always been the unfailing friend
and ally of our beloved France.
France Loves Them AL.
"The bonds of love and SYM
patty that have always existed be-
tween our two countries will be-
come still stronger, now that We
are brothers In arms In the cause
of world democracy.
France has given unsparingly
OF its blood In making good the
motto OF Verdun. But the brave
men who have died will not have
died In vain. because, with rich,
powerful resourceful and deter
mined America on our side 1t Is
now impossible to conceive of any
thing but a complete victory for
the allied cause.
81 drink to America and all
Americans. France loves them
ALL"
The toast was drunk with deep
emotion. on both sides and appro-
pirate responses from the Ameri-
cans followed.
Thru 1t all, however, my re-
pertorial instincts had not de-
serted me.
They Shall Not Pass.
At Fort Souville, during the af-
ternoon, the for commander had
given me. for a souvenir, one of
his envelopes with the official
stamp OF Fort Souville in the up
per left-hand corner.
When the commander of Ver-

handed him this envelope and my
fountain pen.

coma people would appreciate Il
written greeting from you"
at will be great pleasure
And on the envelope he wrote un-
der his name, Colonel .,

dun. They Shall Not Pass" II

lea and the American people,
ITO Mr.. C. Lyon"
"Pd better put the official
stamp of Verdun on this or some
body might say 1t was not genu-

We were about to take leave
when the Colonel had happy
thought.

"I'd love to hear you sing the
Star Spangled Banner" he said.
In another room was little old
piano that had weathered all the
bloody storm.
But not one of us Americans
could play a note!
We got thru the first verse In
fine style, but there was good
deal of humming and ia, las
toward the end of the second.
The way the Frenchmen then
sang their own national hymn
made us Americans ashamed of
ourselves.
When he went out into the

Kansas Women Office Holders.

Kansas leads the rest of the United
States in the matter of women office
holders. The late election swept a
lot of them into offices, sweeping out
of Office, of course, an equal number
of men. But so far there has been
no complaint heard about the matter,
for the women elected recently are
said to rank very high in intelligence
and integrity.
Fifty-eight women were elected
county superintendent of instruction
In the state. The women lead in that
Office, which seems to be favorable
one for them. But there were also
elected SO registers of deeds, 25 clerks
Of district courts, 10 county treasurers,
8 county clerks and probate judges.

and they give it very slight flare at
the bottom.
The bodice is an affair for an ex-
pert dressmaker to describe, and the
aninitiated fashion reporter can only
marvel at it. 1t is draped away from
the vest at the waistline and orna-
mented with folds of silk that extend
themselves to the skirt. A tab of en-
broidery lends line of bright color to
the sedate tones of the cloth and silk
folds and repeats the design (of
which there is glimpse) that covers
the vest. The bodice appears to be in
one piece, with the skirt at the back
Full straight sleeves are shirred in
at the wrists and bordered with fur,
and soft muller collar of fur pro-
tects the throat. Any of the soft wool
fabrics might be used in a dress of
this kind, and it is more than likely
that we shall see 1t made in satin.

with small satin-covered buttons.
Soutache braid, which has already
had great vogue, decorates the lower
part of the blouse and the peplum with
simple scroll pattern. The braid Is
sewed along one edge In the manner
introduced by Paris milliners in the
present season. 1t does not lie flat
to the garment and~it makes an alto

ored hats as well as other things. The

The hat is bordered with fringe Of

embellished with pattern in soutache

even five minutes to be tempted to do
anything against the moral law, civil
law or any law whatever If | were to

pie should do to avoid temptation, 1t
would be to get job and work at 1t
so hard that temptation would not

SAUSAGE Skins of SILK.

The packing of sausage meat in the
old way has long been an Objectionable
proceeding to fastidious persons. 1t
also has. been declared insanitary, so
that many families have tabooed the
link sausage Now thin silk cases are
being provided, which can be sterlized
to the last degree of sanitation. Being
of chiffonlike texture, they would hard

be supplied at cost little greater than
the sausage skins now In use and are
proof against the attack of vermin.
