where she has buried her eggs. Be y

Jimmy's eyes twinkled more than
ever. Jimmy carries shrewd li:tie
head on his shoulders. There Is nothing

there is nothing stupid about Jimmy.
As he looked at Peter sudden saspi-
cion flashed over him.
Peter said he. Il believe you know
just where those eggs are"
Peter tried to look very innocent.
but in spite of himself an anxious
look showed in his eyes and Jimmy
Skunk saw it.
You do know where those eggs are.
Peter" said he. "and you may as well
tell men now and save me lot of
trouble. I am bound to find them
anyway. Como on. Peter. where are
they?"
Peter shook his head. '1 won't tell
moro than this. that they are where
you will never. never find them"
Jimmy chuckled right out loud.
Watch me. Peter" said he. Just
watch me. Now that / know some
where near where to look for those
eggs 1t isn't going to take me long
to find them. 1t would take some
one cleverer than Mrs. Slow Poke to
hide those eggs so that i can't find
them"
Jimmy started in business-like

earth was soft and where it looked
as if it might have been dug in re-

SUITS OF THIN BLACK SATIN
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.
ecinl Correspondence Of The Star.

| Special Correspondence Of The Star.
| NEW YORK, July 2.--Hcre and there.
in the processes OF time. fashion makers
and the public have attempted to shelve
satin. Those who weave cloth have also
attempted to cheaper it to such an ex-
tent that women who like quality in
their clothes have preferred using an
other fabric, in order to display judi
cious taste.
However, throughout the cycles of
dress. coming in and going out. there
has always existed preference for this
| weave on the part Of those who saw in
1t something as durable as serge, and
cooler.
Materials Becoming Standardized.
Once upon time we were quite ca
| pricious concerning the materials we
would buy for our clothes, but now un-
der the pressure OF circumstances we are
| glad to get what has been guaranteed
as good. We no longer cry aloud for an
unusual dye, for a special weave that
| Some Frenchnan of genius has created;
we no longer insist that the dressmaker
must copy good French model in the
exact fabrics and tones of the original.
nor do We refuse it if this cannot be
| done.
| As a nation. we have grown sensibly
| il clined toward taking what we can get
and making the best of it. Therefore,
| when conservation and necessity de-
mand that we wear standardized mate
| rials. that serge. satin. taffeta. georgette
crepe, chiffon, velvet and cotton mate
| rails go round and round each other in
| circle. we as a nation Of women make
no complaint.
We are glad to know that America
has nearly conquered the dye situation
garb ourselves in the black, blue and
gray of somberness: but we do not in
sist that dressmaker cannot servo US
unless she can give US something rare in
weave as well as in cut.
Therefore, satin not only comes into
its own for evening gowns. but 1t
goes back into that special niche ar
ranged for it by the tailors. who con-
ceived it to be very good for street
clothes.
It was a rather original tailor who
created the first well known satin
coat suit for dancer who exploited
many new things in her day. The
black satin was of heavy quality. the
kind the French have made famous,
and it was treated as though it were
homespun or broadcloth. 1t was
stitched, f1attened, ironed and made
to look like a mans suit.
1t made an instant success. Women
who wanted novelty followed the
idea, and those who preferred to be
stylish and cool to stylish and warm,
realized that the fabric had eStima-
BILE qualities.
This season the suits that are
launched in satin show that they do
not intend to take upon themselves
the precise severity of other days.
They are touched up with gay bits
of color. they have a sash. a waistcoat
and collar and cuffs that give the eff
feet of greater GOODNESS.
The sketch shows such suit. It is
Of the heaviest black satin. which
does not give any especial warmth.
but holds itself in better form than
the thin weaves and refuses to wrin
kle as quickly.
The skirt is narrow, with pleated
Evening star., 1918-07-03

panels at the side that drop several
inches longer than the hem of the
underskirt, to give that irregularity
which seems so desirable to those
who follow the fashions. The Jacket
is of moderate length and has no
charm of novelty until it arrives at
the waistcoat, which serves as sub
stftute for a blouse. This is of pale
pink lawn fastened up the front with
black velvet buttons and rising to
unusual heights in stiff collar that
opens in front, so that no one need
fear the terrifying spectacle of a
double chin.
The sash is another trick that
catches ones eye. 1t Is black; 1t runs
through the back of the coat, and it
ties in butterfly bow.

moon Thursday amount to four billions dollars
leaving at least two billions dollars to complete
the Fourth Liberty Loan. Only two days are left
within which to raise this vast amount No coun-
try on earth, but America could raise so vast
sum in so short time. America can do it and
must do it. The destines of the world and the
hopes of ccivilization are centered upon America.
We shall fail in everything we have fought for
and hope to gain in this war if the Fourth Liberty
Loan is defeated. Let every true American citi-
zen today examine himself under the white light
of patriotism and say whether or not he has done
his utmost in this emergency. The biggest obli-
cations of duty and patriotism command every
true American to go Immediately to his bank or
to his Liberty Loan Committee and subscribe to

Be as quick to do your part in this Fourth Liberty

you cannot buy them for cash. Every patriot
bank will help you. If every patriotic citizen will
do his duty today victory for the Fourth Liberty

houses within few days.

revising the war revenue bill yes
terday struck out house provisions
taxing the salaries of the President,
members of the Supreme Court and
Superior Courts and State officials.
The committee also rejected house
provisions taxing State and munich
pal bonds. The committee held
that such imposts would be uncon-
stitutional, Chairman Simmons an
nounced.
The Federal governments right to
tax the salaries of the President,
judges and state officials as well as
the income from State and muni-
cipal bonds has been the subject of
discussion in both houses ever since
it was first proposed. In the Senate
Gently Senator Knox, of Penno"'

GERMANS AGAINST TERMS
LEFT TO ALLIED COMMANDERS

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Baron Bu-
rian's statement that Germany will
be in position to accept the Presi-.

ports from the battle front in Begi-
um and northern France that tbe

fore. If this is followed by the
abandonment of submarine attacks
on merchant shipping. officials feel
that the principal obstacle in the
way of an adjustment will be found
!inly in the arrangement of an armis-
| tice.
There is no doubt that the Ger
mans will make a desperate effort
to resist the anp4unceed purpose OF
the President to leave the terms OF
an armistice to the military COM
manders of the American and allied
forces, and it may be some tmie be-.
fore they are sufficiently humbled
, in spirit to admit that it is not for
them to dictate, but simply to ac-
cept such terms as these military
commanders may choose to impose.
In fact, Baron Burian's address be-
fore the Austrian committee is taken
to indicate clearly that Germany de-
sires to enter into negotiations ON
these points and will cling obstiuate-
ly to its plan of mixed commission
to deal with the matter of eyacua-
tion. s

road men on your railroad, officers
and employees alike, how earnestly |
hope they will subscribe to the linz
il of their ability to the Fourth Lib
erty Loan. Lending their money to
Uncle Sam is the finest use tehy can
make of it not orly because it is a
safe investment for themselves but
it will help their country win the
war. The fact that the Kaiser is al
ready making offers of peace should
make us more eager to put this loan
over and keep our fighting pressure
at the maximum Gntil we actually
get peace. Now is the timme for ev-
cry man in the fighting army in Eu-
rope and in the industrial and finan-
cial army at home to do the limit to
make the great victory our soldiers
have already won absolutely COM
plete and final. I hope when the re-
turns come in next Saturday it will
be shown the railroad men of your
line were one hundred percent.
hope that no railroad man will fail
to do his full part.
