lengths to the chic little hip length affairs
The fabrics are more luxuriant in texture, more
vevety to touch than for many seasons. Richly

are but few of the attractive fabrics which with
dominant trimmings of fur expressed in big col

few, since a spool of thread now
costs so cents to ST.
The following is xrom a letter writ
ten from Flanders:
How do we live? You can not
form any idea of it. In whatever di-
rection we turn we run against Ger
man pride which, provocative and
scornful, eyes US from head to foot
1t is painful. We can not endure it.
There are fines upon fines at a time
dispensable things. -
For all that, what is indispensable
is still very difficult to obtain. We
have too much to die, too little to
live. We are becoming skeletons, but
hope sustains US. For the rest we
let the days go by - God gives them
to US.
Now we have an opportunity to
prove how admirable our people are
Our hearts break in contemplating all
the misery that Y { see about US; but
we are proud, nevertheless, to prove
that we can endure it all without Eesi-
tating or wavering.
Germany is becoming more and
more covetous. She plucks us and
strangles US in every way
