The dressy, separate silk skirt has
made a history for itself that insures
it's welcome every season, but its
great day is ushered in with spring.
It's rival, the sports skirt, has pro-
NOTED it; success for the separate
skirt of silk is sure and deserved, and
there is no end to the variety in silks
and color combinations that make 1t a
thing of beauty this spring.
Two or three shades of one color in
stripes and plaids, or combinations of
contrasting colors, or colors with cross
bars in black or white, in as many de-
signs as we find in ginghams, make
the choice unlimited, but so far stripes
have been developed into the most at
tractive of the new skirts.
The season is dominated by two
styles, each with many variations. One
is the skirt laid in plaits about the
waistline and the other is the tunic
skirt. The plated skirt is not so new
as the tunic, but it is too good look
ing, and may be fitted with too much
good style for women to leave it out
Of their reckoning; it will divide hon
ors with the tunic during the coming
summer.
TUNES, like coats, are usually IN

even in length. They are ingeniously
draped and here the art Of the de-
signer either shines or fails. In the
skirt shown above a single piece Of
silk is so well managed in the draping
that the stripes u diagonally across
the front and horizontally across the
back. A feature to be noted is the
disposition of most Of the fullness in
the tunic at the front of the skirt and
the sash Of silk, like the skirt, tied
ia a bow Of two loops, at the front of
the waist. The square end of the
silk used for the tunfc is cascaded at
the left side and nicely finished with
a row Of small, fiat buttons set close
together. The underskirt is plain and
narrow, merely two lengths Of goods
sewed together and finished with a
three-inch hem. 1t is the correct
length for silk skirts-an inch or so
below the shoe top.

War Is Informal Affair.

That the number Of full dress suits
purchased in America since Uncle San
threw down the gauntlet has fallen
off 90 per cent is an indication Of a
realization on the part of the nation
that war is no dress affair.
In the trenches the guests from
across the street don't stand on cere-
mony or wait for an invitation. They
are real neighborly, and likely to drop
in unexpectedly any time. In fact war
is an Internally informal business.
1t has it's humorous side, too. Every
day many things occur that are per-
fectly killing.

The Franco-American troops had planned to cross the Ourcq before daylight on Sunday, but the German Il heavy artillery held the slopes leading to the river under fire, which contin- ued all night.
 The Americans repeatedly started to advance during the night, but as often were held back by the fire of the enemy machine guns and heavier pieces.
 During one of the lu1ls in the Ger man fire, Capt. Allen Huff, of Omaha, Neb., worked his men up to the cen- ter of a field, the slopes of which led to the Ourcq. Just the the Germans resumed their fire in full force. Im- mediately Huff and his men dug in and held on where they were until daylight.
 Meanwhile the German artillery had been quilted somewhat by the heaver artillery of the Allies carrying out counter battery work. Choosing an opportune moment, Huffs men dashed to the river, jumped in with a as they went.
 Corporal Chris Berthelsen, of Sioux City. was among the men of the first wave to cross the river. They immediately went after the machine guns on the north bank of the Ourcu. The fire that they opened on the enemy nests at this point was SC intense the Germans raised a white flag. Anticipating nice bag of prisoners. the Americans rushed up, only to be opened on again by the enemy machine guns as the Americans approached.
 Then the Americans let loose with the full weight of their fire. The Ger mans again raised the white flag Twelve Germans were killed and nine were captured in this little operation.

TURKEY ASKS LONE HAND
 IN CAUCASUS AFFAIRS
CHINESE ALLECE FRAUD AGAINST
 CHAS. GOODMAN
Sale of Laundry in West End is Cause of Complaint
 bv the Celestials.

Charles Goodman, who up to a re- cent date conducted a laundry at the corner of Wood avenue and Olive street, was arrested in New York yes terday by Detective Fred Derrick of the Bridgeport Police Department up- on complaint of Joe Sing and Charlie ong, Chinese, who charge Goodman with defrauding them out of about $2,000. Goodman was brought back to Bridgeport today and will be ar raigned in the City Court to answer the charge against him.
 It is alleged by the Chinese that Goodman sold them the Wood avenue laundry some time ago for 5000. The sale included the premises, business auto truck, and goodwill. Goodman was to remain with the concern to drive the auto and collect the laundry Of course he was to receive a salary for his labor.
 Instead of collecting the laundry for the two Chinese it appears he made deal with another laundry into which he turned all the business he had in his old place. The Chinese waited Monday for the wash to come in, but 1t failed to appear. Tuesday came and the same thing happened Then on Tuesday night, it is alleged Goodman backed the auto truck up against the door of the Wood avenue laundry and loaded everything ht could move into the vehicle. When the Chinamen arrived at their place ot business next morning the only things they found were the tubs and the bare walls.
 Goodman the automobile and fix lures, had all disappeared and the alarm was at once raised. When the matter was reported to police head quarters, Captain Edward o. Cronar assigned Detective Fred Derrick tt the case with the result that aftel several weeks of trailing he landed hi man in New York yesterday and ther, is every chance of his being made tt disgorge the money he is said to 11av' received from the two Chinese.
