IL Y - NO DOUBT, had more trouble than
ADAM in the matter of raiment for you know, wo-
men dislike having to take the very first kind color
shown them.
There is no record of Eve going on a shopping trip,
and yet she must have Hooked round right smart to
satisfy herself as to color and kind to be used.
And here the records speak, she settled upon Green
as the color, and fig as the kind.
Now there could be at that time there must
have been plenty OF MATERIAL such as it was, for her
exclusive use with fear that some other woman
would have one like it, in the same town.
Eve was sparng of materials,
POSSIBLY with VOman's intuition, seeming trouble in
the distance Any way her mode Of dress must have
furnished inspiration for newspaper photographers had
they had them in those days like some you and

Now picture Eve in a modern store like ANSLEY'S|
with chance at all those wonderful COOrS in
SKINNER SATlNS, SATIN DAPHNES, soft
CREPE NETEORS, and the endless array of
PRINCES in silk and Chinile to trim them could
you blame her, or the modern woman either for not
wanting the woman next door to have one just like it
Ito hate sharing her good fortune with her neghbOrs?
Just think how very easy is for the woman of to-day
to get what she wants at ANSLEY'S in either the ma
teririals and trimmings or READY'TO-PUT-ON

MISS BRlTION, just up stairs can turn them out to

Nothing more discouraging than a

ROUBAIX CAPTURED

REACH CLIENT: ALL
ROADS ARE CHOkEO

WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES IN
BELGIUM, Oct, 19.-Lille is fast being
left behind by the advancing fifth
British army. In spite of German
posts established north of Roubai3
~nd Turcoing these rich manufactur-
ing cities have been taken.
The Germans blew up the bridges
leading into Bruges and left strong
rear guards there but these forces
were sacrificed by the enemy while
the main body of his troops moved
eastward from the city and those near
the coast fastened to escape.
Friday was fine and clear and the
Belgian airmen again came into their
own. The Belgian sky was literally
full of them and they worked great
havoc with bombs and bullets among
the enemy forces fleeing through the
gap between Bruges and the Dutch
frontier.
More cannon were brought up and
all Thursday night and Friday they
pumped shells into the bottle neck
through which the Germans are re-
treating. The number of Germans
killed in this area Thursday is of
course undetermined but from the
amount of explosive projectiles, large
and small dropped on them their loss
must be tremendous. In addition the
French cavalry made dashes here and
there and has also taken its toll
The German army is paying a high
price for it's attempt to retainits hold
on the coveted coast of Belgium Ger
man military commanders being un-
able tow in any victories, now seem
to have gone in for literature on an
extensive scale. Fridays reports in
clude masses of captured documents
which have fallen into the hands of
the allied soldiers. They treat of all
subjects, but one in all they contain
a sub-current of despair.
