Striped satins and taffetas, COM
bined with plain georgette crepe, for
afternoon gowns, are proving them
selves an unfailing source Of inspira-
ton to the designers. Just the many
variations that can be made in the
arrangement Of stripes gives much
room for the play Of fancy and for
good management of lines. Speaking
Of stripes, stout women ought to take
note that they are to be considered
special dispensation of Providence for
their benefit. The modiste who knows
how to manage them can do wonders
for her stout patrons.
The pretty afternoon frock shown
in the picture Is just one more of the
happy combinations Of striped taffeta
and plain georgette that is different
from any Of the others. The dress is

tInto the Trench"

The next morning the draft was in
spected by our general, and we were
assigned to different companies. The
boys in the brigade had nicknamed
this general Old Pepper, and he GER
tainly earned the sobriquet. I was as
signed to B company with another
American named Stewart.
For the next ten days we rested"
repairing roads for the Trenches, drill
ing, and digging bombing trenches.
One morning we were informed that
we were going up the line, and our
march began.
It took us three days to reach re-
serve billets-each days march bring
ing the sound of the guns nearer and
nearer. At night, way off in the dis
lance we could see their flashes, which
lighted up the sky with red glare.
Against the horizon we could see
numerous observation balloons or 'sau-
sages" as they are called.
On the afternoon of the third days
march I witnessed my first airplane
being shelled. A thrill ran through me
and I gazed in awe. The airplane was
making wide circles in the air, while
little puffs of white smoke were burst
ing all around it. These puffs appeared
like tiny balls of cotton while after
each burst could be heard a dull
"plop." The sergeant of my platoon
informed us that it was German air.
