Gwen" represents that type of semi
sport suit that is indispensable in a seasons
progress and seldom changes with the passing
of the seasons. The beted coat, the patch
pockets, the long, narrow revers and the little,
closely pleated blouse all present to us a
picture of another season which we will con-
tinue to indOrse, support and urge on others.
"Norma" is one of the new suits done in
gray silk serge, material concerning which
we will say more at a later time. This par
ticular model is without pockets and dependg
for its beauty upon the peculiar long box
pleats which like tabs extend from the bot
tom of the jacket to a point just below the
shoulder, where they apparently turn back
and button over. The same little motif is
worked out in the cuff, while another feature
of the coat with this season s mark upon it is
the shawl rever which starts at point at the
belt line and extends around the neck widen
ing and narrowing in its progress.

Mrs. Alice Davis,
MY dear Superintendent
We are sending you check
for two thirds of your sixth or
February installment. We have
been waiting for some weeks
thinking each day there would
be sufficient revenues to pay the
entire installment, however, we
find that it may be the middle of
May before there is revenue to
pay this full installment.
We hope to pay the re.
mainder of this installment and
possibly a part of the seventh in
stallment by the middle Of May,
however, this depends upon
whether the corporations protest
tne pay ment Ut their franchise
tax.
Thanks to the splendid ser
vices rendered by Senator Antle
and others of the Upper House
and Representatives McLaugh-
lin, Hardin, Bell, Bowman and
others of the Lower House, we
will after this year be able to pay
;fiee GeacneeTs II cns eTE q eacE

Hoping to see you at the K. |

Police Job for Uncle Sam

Henry Farrand Griffin. in Leslie's.
 It is becoming increasingly clear that peace will have it's critical problems no less than war, If the war of nations is not to develop into war of classes, the victorious allies and the United States must promptly undertake the tremend- ously difficult task of policing and pro- visioning central Europe. As result of the armistice and a partial lifting. of the veil of censorship we are begin ming to realize how seriously Europe has been infected with bolshevism. It is not limited, either, to Russia and the disin- tegrating remnants of enemy states. It has spread to neutral countries, and we have as yet no means of knowing how far the allied nations have been affected. But we do know enough to make it clear that even though Germany has been made powerless, it may be sometime before

Through the Cape Cod Canal

 The sun climbed up among the arch itectural high clouds and we passed the desolate sandpit which marks the en- trance to the Cape Cod canal--where the hull of vessel, like the vertebrae of some sea monster lies bleaching.
 l fancy all the canals, from our hyphen to the Panama, smell offenslvely of en- gineering, and though time may soft en the newness of their edges, they never can fail to give sense of their self importance At the end of the canal however, the traveller has his moment of victory, when the great bridges do- cilely lift themselves to let him into Buzzards bay.
 They are so short distance apart our bay and Buzzards bay-but they be- long to different worlds. Provincetown is serious and self-supporting town.

 Buzzard's bay is inland water. On the left it's harbors are small, the shore bordered with what, to our eyes, ac- customed to our low-lying houses, looked like the infant progeny of the summer hotel.f What with It's yacht clubs and it's 'summer-people" air, it reminds one of Long Island sound.

 All questions of sentiment and human- ity aside, it is obvious that we must feed the starving millions of central Europe, and do it promtply, for the very prac- tical reason that hunger is always the mother of anarchy. And if anarchy, comparable to that now existing in Rus sa, is allowed to spread much further in Europe, it may be absolutely impos- sible for the coming peace conference to arrive at any settlement that will assure us an enduring peace.
