 BY BOMBARDMENT Additional Prisoners Taken From Germans, Report of Monday Fighting Shows

With the American Army on the Aisne- -Marne Front, Monday, July 22 -(By the Associated Press)-Gera man resistance resulted in harder fighting today. The operations wera robbed of some of their spectacular features as the day advanced by the determination of the enemy not to be crowded into a retreat.
 South of Soissons the Allied troops maintain all positions as they were on Sunday night except in some cases where they have been improved slightly The Allied positions, how ever, are in no apparent danger from attacks by German reserves.
 In the area north of Chateau Thierry the enemy Is reported by air observers to be still moving north ward, but very slowly and fighting rear guard actions all the while. The French and Americans are hanging close to the heels of the retiring Ger mans and are taking every opportunity to move forward. Army headquar- ters moves ahead gradually as the line advances
 Enemy aeroplanes have been active on observation work but the shells fired by the German artillery in an attempt to search out the Allied req. indicate the airmen failed to spot the Allied positions. Many shells have dropped along the Marne at irregular intervals and little damage has re- suited.
 Throughout the day the heavy guns of the Allies bombarded the enemy lines with excellent results, according to aerial lookouts. Over all the terri tory retaken the damage wrought by American and French guns shows the positions formerly held by the Ger mans suffered much more than the Allied lines, notwithstanding that the volume of fire from the Germans was greater.
 Further large numbers of prisoners were taken from the Germans to- day

 The high temperature is made more difficult to bear by a high hu- midity which takes the starch out of both humanity and linen, causing a general feeling of lassitude, profuse precipitation and extreme discomfort.
 No immediate prospect for relief is held out, and unless there is sudden change in atmospheric conditions another sweltering day may be look ed for tomorrow.

Care in Small THINGS.

1t may be stretching it a bit to say
that the woman is hopeless who wears
an expensive frock and carries a cheap
or shabby pocketbook. But II never
theless is true that the success Of an
outfit does greatly depend on just so
small a thing as a pocketbook or hand
bag. II you prefer. These little things
are, after all, the telltale signs Of the
woman who studies harmony not only
In her dressing but In her life as well.
For carelessness in one way leads to
carelessness or thoughtlessness In 9TH
er directions. There is a marked ten
dency toward smaller handbags. This
may be due to the fact that the ma
terials from which the new bags are
made are In most cases very expensive
and elaborate. Were these bags made
large, they would have the appearance
Of Overriding It" and that would not,
at present, do at all.

No better use for the scraps Of wool

inches wide and ten inches long, the
ends being mitred of into points.
These are Joined with line Of black,

SAVING THE TENDER PLANTS
Geranlams and Others That Provide
Pretty Flowers Should Be Care
fully Potted Till Spring.

Geraniums, heliotrUpeS, coleus and
many other tender plants are likely
to be scarce next spring. Florists
have been Obliged TO get along with
half the fuel used last year. Many
have closed their greenhouses and
plants next year may he scarce. All
these can be taken up, potted and
stored in the house or cellar until
next spring.
The plants can be ported in tin cans,
first knocking a hole or two in the
bottom for drainage. Boxes can be
used, packing the plants rather closely
In good garden soil.
Most budding plants will survive
the winter if the soil in which they
are growing is kept moist and the
plants kept in n temperature safely
above freezing. Next year they can
be set out, soon filling the bare spots
that otherwise will look bad all sum-
mer.

When making a baked custard, If

estly, nobly, and patiently is wise,
there may come promotion. There
isn't much hope for only the man or
women who nearly sweats blood to
accomplish a noble purpose. No other
kind have ever accomplished, but
very little. The writer is writing be-
cause he loves his people. His peo-
pie may be lead to hate him because
he writes not what they want to read,
but never mind, just quicken up a
bit. Let your customers eat and get
out quickly. Don't turn around fifty
times and count all the spider webs
in your place, then go to sweeping
your floor while your tables fill up
with hungry people. Sweep some
other time.
Can't you see by the marvellous ex-
position of the work of Negro hands
as evinced by the Lincoln Jubilee
that humanity is much alike. Our
only trouble is in a difference of
methods and plans. The man who
reaches hill top by an aeroplane is
no more on the top of the hill than
the man who started this morning
encircling and climbing until noon,
then at P. NJ. reached the top. The
aeroplane lifted him to the top in
five minutes and here it has taken
some one five hours. A wonderful
saving of time, and a marvellous loss
of time. Which is the better? The
saving of time is great principle in
our modern life. For time is re-
covered with a price, for time is
money, and when we are causing
people to lose time they are losing
money, because of our old outworn,
out of date, methods of doing things.
System, method, plan, are like faith,
hope, and charity to the business
world.

TYPES OF BLOUSES
Two Models, One With a PepIum
and One Without.
Darker Satins Are Practical for Ev.
eryday wear-Beads and Fine
Tucks Are Used.

Since suits are predicted as being
trifle smarter than coats, il follows
that blOuSes must also have showing.
An ordinary blouse is one of the most
trying articles of apparel to try to
make look well, but once having ac-
cOmplished the feat IL must be adj
mitted that the result is charming.
There are a. present two types of
blouSeS-that is, two in particular
one the blouse with a peplum and one
without. Ii is mere matter of choice
as TO which one prefers-chOice and
becomingneSS, of course. The sheer
blouSes of crepes and light colors nat
urally would hardly look well with the
lower half hung over n skirt of darker
and rOugher material.
For practical and smart blouse the
darker satinS made with Il peplum be-
low the waist look particularly well
and give a tailored finish. This is
good blouse for everyday wear and
may be embroidered or SOutached, and
to change or with the flesh cOlOred
geOrgctteS is 50 very different that ii
Is like having two dresses To one coat.

scarf collar of the material. To en-
liven it an inset veStee Is striped in In

ing very dictatorial and with an eff
cheney which carries with 1t all the

CORDUROY KIMoN0S ARE NEW
Warm Japanese Style of Garment
Promises to Be in High Favor
During Winter Season.

Some new kimOnOS shown in some
of the shops are a strange cOmbina-
ton of style and fabric. They are
japanese kimOnoS made of corduroy.
That in itself seems an anomaly. But
when you come to think of ii. wouldn't
they be delightfully."- comfortable?
Think of wrapping one of them around
you some cold winter morning when
the necessary restrictions in coal make
the thermometer lower than comfort
calls for. That is probably what their
makers thought of. And so, although
kimOnos of blue and rose corduroy
embroidered with silk chrysanthe-
NUNS seem a bit of strange cOmbi-
nation and contrast, still they are a
delightful concession TO the cold that
is coming. They cost twenty-Odd dol

DISTINGUISHING Mark.

Things which match or carry out q
general color scheme at once distin-
guish the unusual room from the or
binary. 1t is the fact that care and
decorative sense have been used that
gives this markedly different atmOs-
phere. Expensive furnishings are not
always necessary. For instance, at
larger stores are found some very
good looking pieces of upholstery and
plush for the ROlished table top. The
tapestry is figured and combined with
plush of very good soft shades, and
the squares or long scarfs are galoon
edged. By the yard comes a material
for drapery which looks like a slight
ly uneven silk rep, but is probably of
cotton.
