America Has Done Her Part.
The one outstanding episode in the

of spring clothes, is the immense
stride in designing that America has
taken.
All that has gone before was OK
perimcntal, but this spring the clothes
are good. They make no pretention
of changing the silhouette ms laid
down by the Paris designers; the only
drastic revolution in silhouette which
has been attempted by this country,

The odor from the dug-up, decom-
posed human body has an effect which
is hard to describe. 1t first produces
II nauseating feeling, which, especially
after eating, causes vomiting. This re-
lieves you temporarily, but soon
weakening sensation follows, which
leaves you limp as a dishrag. Your
spirits are at their lowest ebb and you
feel a sort of hopelessness and mad
desire to escape 1t all, to get to the
open fields and the perfume Of the flow
ers in Bighty. There is a sharp,
prickling sensation in the nostrils,
which reminds one Of breathing coal
gas through a radiator in the floor, and
you want to sneeze. but cannot. This
was the effect on me, surmounted by a
vague horror of the awfulness of the
thing and an ever-recurring reflection

be in such state iaad be brought to
light by the blow ofA.pick In the hands

Several times have experienced this
odor, but never could get used to II ;
the enervating sensation was always
present. 1t made me hate war and
wonder why such things were counte-
nanced by civilization, and all the spice
and glory of the conflict would disap-
pear, leaving the grim reality. But
after leaving the spot and filling your
lungs with deep breaths OF pure, fresh
air, you forget and once again want to
be "up and at them"
