A deserter from the German ranks
was interviewed in Holland by Amer
lean correspondents. He says that the
Germans are torturing the American
boys horribly under the watchword
1.-THE fewer American boys to send
back the better for us"
He describes the tortures that are
inflicted upon American prisoners
among which is sentence to stand
motlonless in the sun for three hours,
stop conservation between prisoners
and other forms OF punishment.
He says that the American prisoners
OF German descent are given better
treatment than the others, especially
the negroes, whom the Germans fog
brutally.
While It Is probable that the Ger
mans treat the American prisoners
Just az badly as they do the prisoners
OF other nations, II is also probable
that there is considerable German
propaganda In this story, the inten-
ton being 20 brighten Americans from
Army service

Some old fashioned individuals dislike the rolling convey ance for tea and mufiins-or toastv- or cake. They prefer the capacious tea tray which is brought in and set on a<table kept in the living room. It is contended by such women-and per- haps they are right-that the tea wagon is an American invention sug- gestive of labor saving when there are no servants in the house. If one had a butler, or neat parlor maid, 1t would be in much better style to have the tea tray brought in and placed on special tea table; the table first drawn up near the fire or the shaded lamp by the servant who would then fetch the tea, tray. see that the kettle was boiling over it's spirit lamp, make a second trip with the muffin stand and finally retire. silently and efficient

FRoCK UPON FROCK IS CREE
 STYLE

WHEN THE Indian woman of the kku Canadian northwest acquires a W new costume, she does not dis
 card her second best frock, but dons the new one over it. If still soon thereafter, 1t goes over fro number two. And so on, and so or sometimes the Cree woman wears siy dresses. one over the other, wh l does not add to the grace of hs silhouette, but vastly increases l4s4 pride and her self respect. The Cree matron, however, knows nothing about Nsilhouettes, or Hines" or anything of that sort. Her idea of being well dressed is amply dressed and the more frocks at one time, the smarter In her estimation and that of her envious neighbors.
 Another thing that delights her pride is her big, warm shawl of bright colored plaid wool the brighter the colors, the better. She wraps the gay shawl around head, neck and should CTS. its fringed edge falling we'll below her hips. Her wool shawl is her most precious possession--and this, if you please--in country of furs! The Cree matron's husband is very busy collecting animal belts she made into sumptuous coats for women in far away cities. but such garments are nothing to her--fur Is the commonest thing in the world in her locality and Nit is choice wool plaid shawl that represents fashion and luxury in her eyes.

ly--,and in the height of good style. This is the English way of serving afternoon tea and considering it, the
 rolling tea wagon does seem crude
 and quaint innovation. But alas, silent,
 efficient buffers and parlor maids are
 not as easily obtainable here, by the
 average householder, as they are in
 England-that Paradise of perfectly trained servants-and in the helpless
 house or apartment, the handy tea wagon seems an excellent substitute
 for soft-footed maid or man.
 A very convenient tea tray with at tached muffin stand, is pictured. The tray Is cream wicker with dainty orna-
 mentation of tinted plaster flowers along the sides. A removable glass inner-tray rests on cretonne cover,
 and there are removable glass plates
 in the elevated rack; one plate for hot
 toast or mullins, the other for little tea cakes, or petit fours as they are
 called at the French pastry shop. The
 tea set is very smart affair, of deep red enamel with creamy lining and
 handles, and the tall teapot contrasts attractively with the little sugar and

 their afternoon beverage. The big pitcher of cream and jug of sugar which was ladled in by the spoonful. making tea a syrupy mixture, have become unnecessary and there Is no reason the huge receptacles should crowd the tea tray The modern out fit, however, should include a shallow

 ~ and depends on her cup of after
 noon tea, there is no more de-
 v <lightful present than something new andsattractive-or specially con venient-to add to her equipment for the cup that cheers. On the other hand, dainty tea belongings to the woman who never bothers about after noon tea are veritable drug-on-the- market, and money thus spent is worse than wasted. So be sure of your Friends predilections in the tea matter before you send her a NChristmas tea set or any of it's accessories.
 If she does enjoy her tea, and the serving of afternoon tea to those who callahan which there is no prettier form of hospitality-you will discover dozens of delightful things to give her at the Christmas season; and prices will cover wide range, from dollar or so for fancy tea cozy or little silver strainer up to several dollars for an Imported tea set or a mahogany tea wagon. You never realize how many people love their afternoon tea. or what an established custom after noon tea has become in this country, until you begin to browse around among the places where accessories for the tea table are sold. Tea sets are only a part of it, and the more dainty a tea set is, the more dainty must be the belongings that go with it.
 There are tea cloths and tea nap kins; and set of linens for the tea table makes a very desirable gift. Where afternoon tea is served to guests every day in the week, the lit- tie tea napkins are used up fast and no hostess can have too many-if laundering in mid-week is to be avoid ed. Small squares of linen damask or plain linen. hand scalloped at the edge and initialed in one corner, make at tractive tea napkins. They are usual ly folded into triangular shape when ironed.

The bodice is plain and fastens at the back and has a good neck-line for @ girl of eleven. Rounded out, and square necks are pretty on smaller girls of the dim pied, childish age: but the growing flapper has usually rather prominent collar bones which are not pretty, re- vealed. The blue, ruffled frock just described has neckline cut well off toward the shoulders, but high at back and front, and is finished with fold or ''cuff' of the silk which rises a little above the cut-out line. Yellow party frocks seem to have a special vogue this season with the youngest set and several holiday party dresses in canary yellow, banana yellow and corn-color are all ready for festive gatherings.
 Seygc And Poplin Frocks For
 = Mornings
 A modified middy costume; that Is, the popular middy style brought up to date, is the favorite type of dress for informal hours with every little girl. A new serge middy-frock Is pictured and shows the slim, close lines now favored, and the skirt pleated at back and front only, with deep pockets set in the plain part at the sides. Poplin dresses over guimpes of washable ma terlal are also well liked for little girls and the best colors seem to be brown, blue and dark green.
 Some of these poplin frocks have collar and cuffs of velveteen in match ing shade, and often a little hand em- broidery in bright-colored wool or silk adds a pretty trimming touch to the waist. A dark blue poplin morning frock for a little girl has pleated skirt and a button-back waist attached to the skirt by stitched belt. The sleeves are long and the waist has a collarless round neck.

 x The travellers tea box will delight a friend who is soon to start out on, a journey. In England, where after noon tea Is never neglected, any more than good American would neglect his breakfast. tea boxes and tea bas- kets are brought out regularly at four o'clock In railroad carriages, and one may wire ahead to the next station for a tea basket which will be left in the train and returned by an arrangement of the railroad company. The pictured tea outfit includes leather-covered. oilcfoth lined box. neatly and com pactly filled with service of four cups and saucers. spoons. napkins. tea pot sugar and cream jugs and even "a dish ftf gar ices.
