plain and devoid of pockets. a black
satin. fringe-edged sash being its par
ticular feature.
Another skirt worthy of attention
is an accordion plated pongee in old
rose. A wide yoke is used in lieu OF
q belt and the skirt is plated to this,
falling in slim. graceful lines.
TRffeta is the standby for the well
dressed woman. 1t is equally appro-
pirate for afternoon street wear ana
for q more formal evening engage
ment. A charming dress in one of the
local shops has many new and in
teresting things in its favor. First,
there is an entirely new skirt ar
rangement that catches the eye. A
sort of overskirt effect falls in ir-
regular points in front only to be
caught up in the back in a quaint
puff which Is only on one side of the
skirt. Added to this is the prim
waist with a deep square cut neck
line filed in with a net vest. and
swinging from this in back Is a net
cape edged with taffeta and topped
by a daring bow of net. The new
short sleeves and looped up sash ends
are further triumphs.
White net is always charming for
evening wear. One dress has a beau
tiful embroidered overskirt and
blouse, the charm of both enhanced
by an underskirt adorned with rows
of pale pink ribbon, at intervals
dainty bows and narrow lace TRIM
ming the whole. The half sleeves
and square neck are lace trimmed
and a huge pink sash ties in an
enormous bow in back.

Peter was ashamed, but he wouldn't
admit 1t. Besides he just couldn't be-

possibly have jumped that distance
fairly.
II could jump as far as that IL

Blacky the Crow asked Nimbleheels
II he was willing that Peter should
have a running start. "Of course"
replied Nimbleheels in his high, thin,
squeaky voice. Let him run as far
as he likes. don't need anything
like that"
So Peter went back and took a run
ming start. This time his jump took
him just a wee bit further than MINI
bleheels had jumped. Peter felt good
all over. He had jumped his very
best. He knew that he couldn't beat
that If he tried. And he didn't believe
that Niinbleheels could, either.
Nimbleheels ran back to the place
where Peters feet left the ground.
Then he turned facing Peter. The next

he help it? And as he heard Blacky

SO Blacky was the Judge, and he

as he told Peter and NimbIeheels to
make ready. Il will cav three times

Peter could fairly feel all those eyes

that way to him.
"Caw!" shouted Blacky again.
Peter gathered imself for mighty

'Caw!" cried Blacky. and this time

Peter jumped with all his might. 1t
was 4 good jump. 1t really did Peter
great credit. Every one said they
never had seen him jump better. The

LATE WAR NEWS
BRIEFLY TOLD

The British do not believe the pres
ent comparative lull means the battle
will die out. They believe it will go to
a great decisive engagement conclud-
ing both the battle and probably the
war.
This is most significant feature of
todays news.
1t shows the British are not con-
tent to merely stop the offensive. They
desire to make this the final round
of the war pressing to the knockout,
which Lloyd George declared must
terminate the struggle.
The capture of Monte Didicr admit
ted by the French is a surprise. The
Germans otherwise are held at prac-
tically all points.
Monte Didicr is ten miles southwest
of Boye. 1t was believed the fight
had not progressed over four miles
west of Roye.
Hais's official statement significant
ly showed capture of Gremans and
guns.
