dresses made of taffeta. pongee and
other wash silks that are practical for
little ladies. The bingham taffetas"
that were presented early in the spring
were especially welcome for children's
dresses and led UP to the use of other
silks. Pongee turns out to be as good
a choice as can be made for the smaller

The pongees and Bingham taffetas

as their cotton or linen dresses are.
Very narrow filet edgings or cluny
edgings provide pretty finish for
them and simple needlework in fancy
stitches is used as it is on cottons. The

/ went to Aix-la- Chappelle to h hos
pital. l met many more wounded men
who had fought in Belgium. All were
of the opinion that the Belgian dead
numbered as many civilians as sol.
diers.. Even If the German soldiers
who fought In Belgium do not admit
the cruelties committed against the
Belgians, 1t cannot be denied that at
least so per cent of the cruelties
known to the world to have been COM
mitted In Belgium were only too true.
A young soldier who lay next to me
in the hospital told me that his COM
pany, during street fight in Liege,
was given orders to kill everybody
without discrimination. Systematical.

my neighbor, even though l had seen
what German warfare meant. After
a few days l was released from the
hospital and again restored to my de-
tachment. Partly by auto, partly by
foot, reached my detachment by ten
o'clock in the evening. Our transport
moved this time over Trier to Llixem-
burg. The little grand duchy of Lux
emburg was overrup entirely by Ger
man soldiers. The Germans who had
made their homes in Luxembourg had
everything taken alvey from them, es-
pecially the farmers, I'LL food, without
thought of payment, 20 that in Luxem-
burg at this time there was shortage
of food. The people here as well as
in Belgium were very friendly, yet they
harbored a terrible bitterness against
the German government, which had
loosed its troops like band Of robbers
and murderers oveS their peaceful
country.
Belgium and Luxembourg, the two
first unhappy victims cf the damnable
German politics and its drunkenness
with power!
That the Luxembourg citizens detest-
ed Germany an incident showed me
which happened in the village of Mar
moth. We were in friendly CONVEX
sation with Luxembourg farmer. Two
officers approached and listened. One
officer, captain, asked the Luxem-
burger "What do you think of the
war, and Of the quickness of Germany?
There is only one Germany. isn't
there?"
"Yes," replied the farmer. THANK
the Lord"
For those four words the farmer
was arrested at once and transported
to Germany as a court prisoner. l
could never learn what became of
him.

dress in the illustration is an example
In which needlework on pongee reveals
how childish and tasteful this kind Of
decoration is. The model is very plain
with panel set in at the front under
plaits at each side. Across the panel
at the neck, there is narrow band Of
the pongee outlined at Its edge with
feather stitching or any narrow fancy
stitch. A wider band, finished in the
same way, takes the place Of belt,
crossing the panel at the waistline.
There are three-quarter length sleeves
wide at the bottom, and turned-back
cuffs.
The most interesting detail In the
design appears in square pieces Of
pOngee, cut with short tabs at the top,
that are set on at the waistline on
each side. A button, covered with
pongee, and ornamented with stitches,
is sewed to each tab. On these pieces
the small gathered pockets find posi-
ton and the effect is that of short
jacket with pockets at the sides.

away with an insane cry of pain.
Everything developed by seconds.
The blood OF the Belgian ran out of
my friends mouth; terrible nausea
and indescrlbable loathing seized him.
The taste of warm human blood
brought him almost to the verge of in
sanity. In the course of this night
battle l came in contact for the first
time with the butt of Belgian gun.
During hand-to-hand fight with n
Belgian, a second enemy soldier
struck me on the back of the head
with the butt of his gun so hard that
my helmet was forced down over my
ears. The pain was fearful and l
tainted.

other wounded men. My wound was
not severe. 1 only had feeling as if
my head was twice It's normal size.
The other wounded soldiers and the
ambulance men said the Belgians had
been forced back within the forts and
that hard fighting was still in prog
ress.
Wounded men were brought In con-
tinuously and they told us that the
Germans had already stormed several
forts and had taken number of main
and auxiliary defenses. but could not
hold them because they had not been
sufficiently supported by artillery. The
defenses inside the forts and their gar
risOns were still intact. The situation
was not ripe for storming attack. so
