Matching Sets.

Matching sets of hat and bag made up
in figured silks or cottons, are often In
creased to include parasol and beach
cushion-or the set may consist OF any
two of these pieces
Calico is the last word in fads for all
these, as well as for dresses.
Old fashioned rick-rack braid has come
in again, and is often used as a simple
edging for hat brims, scarfs, or to finish
the draperies on dresses. Piplngs OF con-
trasting colors emphasize lines, and bind
ings or hens of contrasting color and
material are smartly employed.
Organdie Frocks.
Frocks of thin materials have wide
hens to the knees or hip lines as their
only garniture, or are tucked in various
WAYS. One of the newest ideas is in
tucks graduated downward-the wide
tucks at the hip and narrow at the hem
of the skirt.
A dress of white organdie blocked in
lilac hair lines, made with wide hemmed
skirt, has the plain waist finished with a
two ply white organdie tichu hemmed
with the checked material.
The three-ouarter wide sleeve finished
with matching cuffs.
! A calico frock of pink sprigged pat
tern, has the three TERED skirt hemmed
in pink organdie.
The waist has organdie frills for finishes
and pretty organdie hat to match is
worn with this. VERONA CLARKE

DESERVES A GOLD
MEDAL FOR THIS
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry UP
any corn or callus 50 it lifts right off.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because few drops
of freezone applied directly on tender,
aching corn stops soreness at once and
soon the corn loosens SO it can be lifted
out, root and all, without bit OF pam.
A quarter of an ounce of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but is SUI
ficient to take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as 1t is
inexpensive and is said not to inflame or
even irritate the surrounding tissue or
skin. -,
If your wife wears high heels sne Will
be glad to know of this.

a wise decision to postpone all public

This population was very much
wrought up during the past week be-
tween the peace negotiations and the
way the allies were putting the boots
to the Huns on the western front.
Locally the sentiment was overwhelm-
ingly against any compromise with
the red-handed murderers who are
killing women and children ana de-
stroying towns while yapping for
peace. 1t is the general feeling that
there is no consistency between the
peace feelers and the action of the
German military leaders in their
method of conducting war.

Notwithstanding the terrific blows
that the Germans have suffered dur
ing the past few weeks they are put
ting up stiff defensive, and time and
again launch fierce offensive blows.
There is yet plenty of fight in the
German army, its morale has not been
shattered and in number that army Is
still strong enough to be very danger
Gus. Moreover the army is being
ably handled by masters in the art of
war. for it has required admirable
generalship to extricate large bodies
OF men and great stores of guns and
material from the traps that Foch
has time and again set for them. That
there will be but one end to the strug-
gle there can be no question, yet there
is to be bitter fighting and heavy
losses before the Hun is finally
crushed.

THE WAR SITUATION

The most important feature of the
war situation during the past week
has been the exchange of notes be.
tween the German Chancellor, Maxi
MILAN, and President Wilson. Fol-
lowing up the first peace overtures
the German chancellor expressed a
willingness on the part of Germany
to accept the fourteen propositions
laid down by President Wilson, Janu-
airy 8, 1918, as the basis for peace.
but an armistice was asked for pre-
liminary to discussing peace meas
ures. 1t was feared in many quarters
that Wilson would temporize and thus
encourage further exchange of
notes. But the president came out
squarely upon the position he took at
the beginning of the war that he
would not accept the word of the Ger
man kaiser or the military cast in
the consideration of peace, as their
word could not be relied upon, and
peace proposals would only be con-
sidered when coming directly from

compromise with perjurers and muir
derers, a stand which is applauded
by every patriotic citizen of the coun-
try and which is endorsed by the allies
of the United States.
While this exchange of notes was
going on the allies have continued
the offensive inaugurated some weeks
ago, and everywhere along the line
the Germans have been manhandled
so roughly that they have been driven
steadily back. losing cities, towns and
villages that they have held since 1914,
and suffering an enormous loss in
killed, wounded and prisoners, besides
vast number of guns and an i'm
mense amount of munitions and sup
plies. Foch is launching offensive
after offensive at various points on the
line, giving the enemy no chance to
prepare defensive positions where
they can make a stand. There is no
evidence that the morale of the Ger
man armies is broken, for they are
putting up strong resistance, yet they
withstand the fierce onslaughts
Of the allied armies. 1t is only ques-
ton of short time before Belgium
and northern France will be entirely
cleared of the invaders.

The kaiser is developing into quite
a humorist, although because he takes
himself seriously he does not realize
the reputation he is gaining as a
jokesmith. In one of his recent fam
boyant addresses, in which he tickled
the vanity of his army by praising
its sprinting ability in keeping just
out of reach of the allies, he lavish
ingly commended his navy for the ad-
mirable record 1t has made during
the war fighting the fierce barn(c'e
while bottled up in harbor.
