The quaint and graceful cape shown
In the sketch can be made adjustable
without trouble. AS an economy gar
ment it certainly is to be recommended.
Imagine the service from a cape that
might be turned at will, so that either a
daytime or evening cape might be in
evidence. Even a small girl could copy
such a garment for her favorite doll.
This cape requires a piece Of fabric
sufficiently long to reach around the flg-
ure and cross as shown, with ends loose
ly tied at the back. 1t should be sloped at
either end to avoid bulkiness. The GEN.
ter of this yoke-collar section is ap-
proximately twenty-seven inches wide,
and it is sloped on either side. SO that
at the ends the section is not more than
half that width. The skirt part, cut
straight. is fitted on, and may be fin
ished with a cording on either side. or

Chatterer Hopes in Vain.

Chatterer was provoked, very much
provoked. There was no doubt about
It. The very sound Of his voice would
have told you that. But this time 1t
was himself he was scolding. He
was provoked with himself because
when he had the chance to step right
down on a passing log he had been
afraid and had left tho chance pass.
Now there was no knowing how long
he might have to stay in the Big
Hickory tree out there on the flooded
Green Meadows. He climbed high up
near the top and watched that log
drift and drift. It moved very slowly.
but it kept right on moving and al
ways in the direction of the distant
shore. Something very like tears filled
Chatterer's eyes as he watched.

declared over and over. Next time I
won't be so silly. I'll just Jump down

believe also that ships of the central
powers may be of little value because
of the lack of repairs. Shortage of
steel and other materials used in
shlpbuilding must necessarily have
forced the shipyards to discontinue

The rigth to love, to play, to sing.

And play with thee.

OF France in prayer;
or women weeping for her mate,
Torn from her by the Huns of Hate
OF homeless brides who, all alone.
Sit brooding by the piles of stone,
Heroic souls,
| come to share
Your bitter grief,
Your dumb despair.

There come sad sounds
From France to me;
The mournful peal of broken bells,
Not shattered by satanic shells;
The war-sick wind that walls and
whines
Through battered walls of sacred
shrines.
o, House of Prayer,
With wrcck-strewed grounds,
III help to heal
Thy wicked wounds.
Beyond the Seine,
hear the cry
OF France in pain,
The shricks from shell hole, trench
and wire,
Men crazed by gas and liquid fire;
Low groans beneath the surgeons
hand,
Dumb agonies from No Mans Land.

Where evils reign,
Thy call to me
