cash upon bonds in the usual way
The public is further advised to re-
member that the German empire
guarantees the loans.
Peasants and small business peo-
pie, says the appeal, should be the
last to dispose of their bonds, be-
cause at the moment of demobiliz-
alton they will be able to buy use
ful articles of all sorts. When that
time comes buyers paying with ma
tlonal bonds will be given prefer
ence.
The document on which the ap-
peals are based calls upon the Ger
mans to show their patriotism and
also their opposition to the propa-
ganda of rumors about war bonds
which are causing great injury to
the empire.

Paris, Feb. 2S.-One can never quite
decide whether these smart little
snappy children of France have been
copied from the fashion magazines, or
whether the fashion magazines have
copied from the children!
To begin with as soon as they're
able to walk, they know how to wear

of putting on bonnet jauntily is in
the tiniest girl toddler; the boy has
the same jauntiness, and if he is the
proud possessor of military cape, be
sure that one corner of it flaunts dash
ingly over his small shoulder, to re-
veal the gay lining. ...
On a day when there is lifting of
the mists which enEelop Paris in the
winter, and the sun comes out, and
the very air CLOVIS as if it were full
of fine spun gold, it is Joy to walk
on the Champs Elysees, for the chill
dren are laughing there.
That walk is like turning over the
pages OF brightly colored picture

The luminous lacework of the trees,
on that beautiful broad avenue, the
quantity mingled traffic, the throngs
OF queerly assorted people on bench
and pave, the vendors, the PARK

border embellishments; but the pic
