Clothes for

J Girl.
By Rita Stuyvesant.

" AVE you q little girl OF eight
to twelve years old whom you
want to look particularly
nice this Summer. though your fam
lily budget will not allow you to In
dulge IN smart clothes7
You will be able to dress her quite
fashionably in clothes that defeat

II you make them at home.
All sisters outgroWn Bingham and
ehambray frocks may be recut for
the younger girl into attractive lit
tie dresses for warm days Short
remnants or leftover pieces may
be used, since two-tons frocks are
quite the vogue this season for les
enfants."
A thrifty mother who Is known
for her good taste recently showed
a cunning froek she had made for
her ten-year-old daughter from an
oId-fashioned house dress OF tan
ehambray. The little frock was =
tWo-pIscs model. skirt OF tan cham
bray and a convenient detachable
blouse OF tucked dotted Swiss.
First she carefully ripped the
house dress apart and washed and
pressed the parts. From the skirt
she recut = new skirt for the young
ster. This was laid in box plaIts
about two inches wide and finished
with a broad belt at the top. The
plalts were stitched down q few
inches to hold them in place
With this tan plated skirt there
was a smart little blouse OF white
dotted swiss. tucked in front: a
Peter Pan collar Of the chambray
was added. with a black silk tie.
The elbowy sleeves were also nm
ished with turn back cuffs OF the
tan. Big pearl buttons buttoned
the skirt and blouse together At
the belt
This pretty little frock might also
be made up in various shades OF CO.
penhagen blue. pink. gray. rose or
green and combined with the white
blouse. or plaid Bingham would be
effective combined with plain ma
terial. Almost any dress in GOOD
condition could be cut down and
combined with the swiss to make
this attractive frock.
For the real hot days nothing 10
more dainty for little girl than a

and ruffIes. An adorable frock of
this type was made up of ciel blue
orgaEdy and white frills and resem-
lied the dance frocks big gir!S'
are wearing this Summer.
Made Empire style. this pretty
frock had a rather full skirt, with
two little inverted frills Of white.
or one might use deep tucks on the
skirt II the frills seem a bit diff

blouse was very simple, cut with
kimono sleeves. A dainty white

was altogether irresistible
Il might also be made up in pale

Hun Propaganda Raises Foreign Nationality Issue i'm Chile

cludes: THE time for the foundation
of the league is most opportune; such
an opportunity never again will arise,
since the soil is ready for the plow.
Let US proceed with the work with
concord and with enthusiasm"
\ This pamphlet appears to have been
privately circulated among the Germans in
Chile before the newspapers got hold of
1t and made 1t public. How far local
groups have been formed is not yet known
The Chilean press has characterized it as
a deliberate attempt to graft foreign
nationality on Chilean politics. commerce
and education, but up to the present time
1t is not disclosed that the Chilean gov
ernment has taken official notice of the
existence of the league and it's activities.
The disclosures regarding the formation
and the purposes of this Chilean-German
League call for a statement Of what ac-

and violations OF neutrality" is de-
clared to be one of the objects of the
league.
Direct German trade with Chile, Of
ties when the allied fleets were able
to sweep German merchantmen from
the sea. Germany lost a market for
many manufactured products. Chile
lost the German market for her nj
trates. but this loss was soon made
good by the absorption Of them by the
United States.
In 1913, the year before the war, the
shipments of nitrates to this country
amounted to approximately s31.o00.000.
In 1917 the amount was $4,000. 900.
Chile's aloofness from other South
American countries in their policy of
ranging themselves with the United
States against Germany has been the
subject of more or less comment. Some
time ago an article was written by
the leading editor of Chile. who is well
known In the United Safes and Europe
in which the attitude of the Chilean
people and the government was ex-
planned as one of friendship on the
part of the people. and of benevolent
neutrality on the part of the govern
ment This article was published in
lation In the United States.
The Chilean government may yet
reach the stage where it will have to
decide whether. in view OF Germany's
world policies. an attitude of beneVo.
lent neutrality toward the allies will
be a sufficient safeguard for its own
interests. There are ninety German
ships interned in Chilean HORRORS, with
tonnage of more than 100000 tons.
These ships would be of great use to
the allies Chilean neutrality. in that
it keeps them from the allies, Is Z
very distinct German assest.
The broader issue for the Chilean
government and the Chilean people,
however. is whether the plans of the
alien Teutonic element for German
shall prevail. That ii
tne issue raised by the activities OF
the German-Chilean League.

was a scattering Of stores on the blocks from

more and more rapid"
There was some stores already there, but not
many. and they were considered to have 4 rather
out-of-the-way location; scarcely any one foresaw,
apparently. the business future Of street. In
the Hooe building was the Hooe store where car

They have emulated England in many
ways. and particularly in their ag-y
gressiveness. That this British in

American blackhsts on the trade OF

tarism, since in its formative stages.
three-quarters of a century ago, 1t was
nodded by French army officers. but
during the last third of century the
German military methods have been
impressed on the actual army organiza-
tfon. Much of this was done under
Gen. Koerner. a German officer who
was employed by the Chilean govern
ment.
Chilean military leaders. however.
have maintained that their army or
ganization is their own development,
and that the influence of Gen. Koerner
and other. German officers on it has
been exaggerated. This is not very
important. What is of consequence is
the extent to which sympathy with
German militarism may have permeated
both the army and the navy. In the
early stages of the war. when Ger
