With the British Army in France,
Aug. %, 2:4O p. m, (By the Asso-

holding virtually all Of the Arras-
Albert railroad and have establish

The British success in the north
enabled the tanks to pass beyond
the railroad. Some were reported
this morning to be working as far
eastward as the Bapaume-Arras

In their new attack the British
early this morning apparently had
taken their final objectives on the
right and were well inside the en-
emy lines. South Of Albert the
British crossed the Ancre river.

 Though lace is used as trimming on blouses more lavishly than it has been in years, the laces are so dis creetly added to the blouse material that one is scarcely conscious of them except as an added filminess in the fabric. Motifs and medallions, and often oblongs of flet or venise are set with hemstitching into chiffons and crepes, and very sheer embroid- cries are used in the same way in batiste and organdy blouses.
