THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF EMPEY'S
MASTERPIECE, ~OyER THE TOP

With all its dramatic moments.
over the Top" soon to be published
in this paper, 1t is not recital only of
the horrors and the perils OF modern
war. In relief. there are accounts of
the fun and the comradeship of the
trenches. There are compensations
for the hardships and the dangers that
the soldiers are forced TO face and
these are described by Empey in a
most interesting way. The story is a
startling mixture of sunshine and
shadow. and, strange as it may seem
the sunshine predominates.
The story. also, is full of informa.
tion that is of practical value and
very great interest to all Americans
right now. One reads in "Over the
Top" how bombs are made and
thrown. how trenches are dug and
consolidated. how barb-wire is used
to ensnare the charging enemy. how
machine guns are operated. how the
fighting men are fed and clothed, how
the soldiers occupy their time when
not engaged in actual fighting.
There is not man. woman or child
in the United States today. who is
able to read. who is not vitality in
terested in all these things.
Empey lived war. He tells just
what the fighting men have done and
how they have done 1t. He knows be-
cause he was one of them. For a year
and half, until he fell desperately
wounded in No Mans Land. this
American, battling at the side OF the
British Tommies, saw more actual
fighting and real warfare than any
war correspondent, and more. prob
ably, than any other man who has
written about the war. His expert
ences are grim, but they are thrilling
and their recital is lightened by
touch of humor-the same humor
that has enabled this boy to pass
through the scorching fires of war and
come out, wounded in body but sound
and sunny in spirit

Very Newest Hats
: By GRACE THORNCLIFFE
She Learns the Real Value of VeilS Accessories to tho
 Hofc

Claire, we are going to have a lovely l time this morning." was Madname's
 greeting when I made my entrance
 into the studio. The French veils l which we've been exeeting so long
 just came from the inportenr's. We'll go upstairs, where we're less likely to
 be interrupted, and try draping them over our hats. As MarceIle to let | you have several of her snartest | street hats.''
 Marcelle had some very attractive hats, and I had great fun trying them | on to seewhichwerethemo econing. aEy kind of a corn, soft corns She chose four, saying that they were good ''vei1 hats'' I wore the little l poke bonnet of dark blue straw trim med with narrow ribbon velvet and a | cluster of tiny blue ostrich tips at the back, and carried the others up to Madame.
 The veils were spread out on long table and I was surprised to see how large they were and how very elabor- ate. Some were of thread-run lace in most elaborate pattern, and other of applique or Spanish lace. Then there was one extremely good looking veil of brown Brussels net emhroid- | cred in wool.
 T like that poke immensely on you," said Madame, picking up veil of taupe thread-run lace. We'll try this on it; it ought to look well over that glazed straw
 Taae veil was triangular in shape,
 and each point was finished with a 1 small taupe-colored tassel. Madame
 arranged the widest part of the veil
 in the centre-front of the hat, letting
 the point extend nearly to the waist l line, and drew the other end to the
 centre-back, with the two ends hang ing straight down below the waist l line The effect was decidedly smart
 HThis veil is such a charming ad- 1 dition to the bonnet that they should
 be worn together. I'll have Marce1le tack the veil permanently in place, just
 as it is,'' said Madame, removing the
 hat from my head and replacing it | with small mushroom of black Mi Ian faced with black taffeta and simp- | ly trimmed with a narrow band ot | black velvet ribbon. Madame chose
 a veil of black applique lace for this hat. It was an a1l-over- design, show
 ing large flowers and foliage scattered l over a fine net background. The I edge was sca1loped.
 Madame loosened the band of vel
 vet about the base of the crown and
 used it to hold the veil in position, the
 scalloped edge of lace forming a friT
 above the velvet, the ends of whict
 were tied in small bow in the front
 This veil was great improvement
 to the hat, and Madame decided that
 it, too, should be attached perma
 nently to this particular hat.

try that she was long remembered as a public benefactor. Bridges and highways were built by this good queen; she was a master of the art of statecraft, men of letters were pro tected at her couYt, and her abundant charities are still recalled in the by word of "Brunehild's Aims" at Bourges and tEampes.
 Brunehild had made Lupus, a Ro- man, and one of her palace officers, Duke of Champagne. This appoint ment aroused the hatred of the nobles who, under the leadership of Ursion Bertfried, determined to slay the un- fortunate man.
 An army was raised and marched against Lupus, but Brunehild, with solriery courage, rode out to meet the hostile battalions. Fearlessly she urged her steed into the very midst of thew arriors, crying:
 Advance not a step further until thou hast heard me! Refrain from this deed of wickedness! Why perse- cute the innocent? It is unjust to en- gage, for a single mans sake, in battlew hich will bring woe and des- olation upon hundreds"
 In answer to Brunehild, Ursion Bertfried said defiantly:
 "Back to thy castle, woman! Let it suffice to have ruled under thy husbands sway. Now that thy son reigns, his kingdom is under our pro- lection, not thine. Back! If thou wouIdst not that the hoofs of our horses trample thee under as the dust of the ground!'
 But the courage of Brunhild never weakened. She had come on a mis- sion of compassion, to plead the cause of one of her lieges unjustly hated by another. Ignoring Ursion's command she turned to thew arriors and told them of the unfair treatment of the | noble Lupus, due to the jealousy oi Ursion. By her efoquence and the simple statement of facts, Brunehil6 won the soldiers confidence and gooc will. They refused to fight against Lupus, and, turning their horses | heads in the opposite direction, they rode away, with a cheer for this brave | woman.
 Then only did Brunehild return tC her castle to bear the joyful news tt l Lupus and to her o.cers that the bat tie had been prevented, and for z time, at least. there would be nc ] bloodshed in Austrasia.

PONEPEIA PLOTTNA

Pompeia Plotina was a Roman lady, who married Trajan while he was still a private individual She en- tered Rome in procession with her husband when he became emperor in the year 99, and was known for her humanity and kindness to the poor and friendless. Plotina loved tran quility, and sought to incline her hus- band to the arts of peace; but Ira jan was a soldier, with an unbounded passion for military glory. As Plo- tina could not dissuade him from his last expedition into Africa and Asia, she accompanied him and it was in her arms that he died during that campaign. Plotina then used her in fluence and energy to have her favor ite, Adrian, made emperor and suc- ceeded. After her return to Rome she enjoyed all the honors and titles of a Roman emress under Adrian. At her death, in the year 122. she was ranked among the goddesses.
