PICTURE OF GERMAN VAMPIRE
kaiser's Possession Embraces Many
Miles, but No Square Meals, Says
This Writer.

The German empire, better known
as the German vampire, embraces 2O8,-
$50 square miles, but not single
square meal, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
1t comprises four kingdoms, six grand
duchies and 3,S76,531 grand goosesteps.
In outline and inclination it Is likely
irregular. On the east it hounds Len
inc. On the north it is bounded by the
allied fleets and on the west by Gen.
eral Haig.
The principal waterways of Germany
are the seize and the Kiel canal. The
high C's now under it's control are con-
fined to the opera house. The Kiel
canal is used for exercise by the bot
tied ships on pleasant Sundays.
The seaboard, greatly restricted, like
all other kinds of board, is known as
the high cost of living. The country
is not entirely on the level. 1t has in
the interior large table land, entire
ly empty. There are also deep depres-
sions in all parts Of the nation.
Berlin, the capital, was established
in the thirteenth century on the Spree
river. 1t has not yet recovered. The
inhabitants are divided into two main
classes-junkers and junked.
The present fooler is Kaiser Bilious
II. His principal occupation is look
ing for a place in the sun. There is
something warmer than that in store
for him. 1t sounds something like
Helgoland. The crown prince Is the
barely apparent.
The national motto is "Spurlos ver'
senkt."

Ginaham Waistcoats.

The gingham waistcoat made
tentative start for popularity, but was
soon running down the track at full
speed. All the younger set are wear
ing these waistcoats, the shops show
them at different prices, and they make
an alluring grouping Of color in the
windows. They have started the fash
ion for a great variety Of skeleton
waistcoats that are worn instead of
collars. Many are high-necked, others
have long, sloping, double-breasted
revers. They are less trouble to ad-
just in blouse or coat than collar,
for they have their own fastening and
are kept down at the waist by an elas-
tic band.
Pique has come back into fashion
for these waistcoats, but checked
gingham and plaid muslin lead.

FAIRBANKS JOYOUS
DISPOSITION PLOT
Triangle Comedian is Very
Much Himself in "The
Habit of Happiness"

The sunny disposition of
Douglas Fairbanks has at
last been adequately dram
atized in the Triangle re-
lease called "The Habit of
Happiness" According to
the plot, which has been de
vised by Shannon Fife, and
elaborated by Director Allan
Dwan, Fairbanks has been
given a profession that ap-
proximates that of the Broth
ers Cheeryble in "Nicholas
Nickleby."
His particular business is
to make down-hearted peo-
pie laugh. The very novelty
Of this brings him more
clients than he ever can hope
to cure Among them is 9
GRABBED old millionaire; and
Fairbanks takes peculiar in
terest in his case because he
has a beautiful daughter. Ir
the course Of his strenuous
efforts torelieve the old boy
of the blues, Fairbanks un.
earths a plot which is afoor
in Broad Street, (the Curt
Market for a change,) to Sc
parate him from his wealth

ire, and keep him safely out
of finance until a certain
transaction is put over. Quite
by chance, Fairbanks finds
himself involved in this plot,
and defeats it in a highly
ingenious as well as athletic
manner.
Director Dwan secured a
splendid cast of Well-known
players to appear in support
of Fairbanks. The roster
embraces the names of Doro-
thy West Macy Harlan,
George Backus, George
Fawcett, Grace Rankin and
VIM. Jefferson.

CAPITAL WELL WORTH VISIT
Merida, Chief City of Yucatan, Is by
No Means Lacking in Attractions
for Tourist.

A capital which most tourists never
visit and Of whose very existence
many people are ignorant is Merida,
the chief city of Yucatan. Yucatan Is
one of the richest Mexican provinces
and, to go further into the intricacieS
of geography, forms the right arm Of
the Gulf of Mexico. Merida, its show
city, officially began to exist in 1912,
when the Spaniards laid the corner
stone with much ceremony and pro-
claimed grandly that the very loyal
and noble city of Merida, chartered by
his most Catholic majesty, Philip II.
was now on the map.
Since then Merida has grown consid-
erably, acquired a plaza, cathedral,
university, hotels and goodly number
of millionaires, and considers itself a
city Of some Importance.
One governor of Yucatan, with a
well-developed sense of civic and ma
tional pride, tried to separate the
wealthy citizens of the capital from
some of their surplus change for i'm
provement of the city. The millionaire
element could not see how it would
gain anything by installing the beauti-
fully paved boulevards described so
graphically by their promoter and re-
fused to contribute. But the governor
placed tax on the henequen, the chief
source of Merida's wealth, and with
the proceeds, which ran into millions
of dollars, he laid pavements which
made walking and driving in the city
a joyous affair, instead of the unpleas-
ant necessity which it had been.

In displays of midsummer frocks
Tor little maids, three fine and trust
worthy materials appear to fill all the
requirements of designers. They are
voile, dotted swiss and organdie, and
they are dainty enough and at the
same time strong enough for the small
est girls dress-up frocks. Toile
has come to be a great favorite on
account of it's wonderful wearing
qualities, which make it worth while
to put careful needlework on it. Dot
ted swiss is liked because it is crisp
and fresh looking, and organdie is
chosen for the finest of all dresses
made for the youngest wearers Of
sheer frocks.
In the picture the little dress at the
left is of white vOile with shocked
yoke in which heavy blue embroidery
silk is used for the ornamental
stitches. 1t has a narrow~panel set
on at the front, making place for two
rows Of tiny round crOcheted buttons
and narrow sash of the voile finished
with two of the same buttons sus-
pended on the silk thread from the
ends. The designer did not over
look opportunities for these little
dangling buttons at the point of the
collar, or forget to introduce a band
of shocking and fancy stitching on
the cuffs. Altogether this little frock
is elaborated with considerable needle
work.
The dress at the right is much SIM
pier. 1t is made of dotted swiss,
very plain and dainty as to design,
and very crisp and sprightly in eff

Fashion Points of Interest.

Fashion Points OF Interest.
There are four things in fashion that
are often discussed today: The severe
uncollared neck line, the short sleeve,
the cape back and the lack Of chiffon
blouses. A dressmaker drew a pa
trOn's attention to the absence of the
latter garment because of the preva-
lence of One-piece frocks, and told how
the shirt waist people were depending
upon wash blouses to continue their
business. Sailor collars are not smart
High collars that roll upward at the
back and down in the front are not at
tached to coats. The collars that go
on bodices of one-piece frocks end be-
fore they reach the collarbone, and the
rest of the decolletage is untouched by
any line of white.
The daily morning oasis., 1918-06-05

every woman can furnish one or both
of these in some measure. Recently
the Red Cross ladies in Kentucky
town held corn-shucking bee for a
grain merchant who found it difficult
to get 1aborers. They worked to the
merry tune of $75, which cash they
turned in to the Red Cross, thereby
making themselves justly famous as
an enterprising chapter. They are
proud and we are all proud of them.

feet. A band of the swiss set between
the gathered yoke and skirt is out
lined with fancy stitching in colored
embroidery silk and clusters of three
little forget-me-nots are embroidered
on it-in three groups at the front
and two at the back.

To Wash Silk STOCKINGS,

If time permits silk stockings should
be allowed to soak for short time be-
fore washing in tepid water to which
a little powdered borax has been
added. Then wash them in a tepid
soapy lather first on one side and then
on the other, paying particular atten-
ton to the feet. Pull the stockings
gently into shape before drying, and
when nearly dry press them on the
wrong side with cool iron.

We can face another year of work
with immense confidence, in the light
of the recent report of the American
Red Cross on its expenditures in Eu-
rope and America. This report is a
revelation and an inspiration. 1t is
more than matter of duty now to be
busy member of this wonderful,
wholly modern and efficient Organiza-
tion. If this report stirs no pride Of
country in the heart of the woman
who reads it she may be sure her soul
is about dead-or held famishing
prisoner by her self-centered mind.
To be in the midst of a world of
good deeds and to take no part in
them-when the way is always open
can you imagine it?
What happens to your dollar when
you send it forth on it's errand of
mercy through the medium of the
American Red Cross was explained
in statement issued as prelude to
the opening of the campaign for an
other $100,000,000 war fund. The
magnitude of the work which the
Red Cross is doing on all battle
fronts and for American prisoners in
Germany is disclosed by the figures :

We long for home and the bathtub,
