WAR RESULT FOR BRITISH
IS A DEMOCRATIZED ARMY
Began When Lord Kitchener Called
the Whole People Of England
to Service for the King.

LONDON. September % (Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press).-
One result of the war has been to
democratize the British army, and it
is regarded as practically certain that
after, peace has been declared England
will have large standing army, in
which a large number of men of birth
and education will be serving in the
ranks.
Before the South African war the
private was "a man of no social &C
count" He was forbidden entry to
what correspondent to the American
orchestra" of a theater and was told
that his proper place was the gallery.
The real characterization of the army
began when Lord Kitchener summoned
the whole people of England to serv-
ice in the kings forces. With the
calling of every class, differences of
social caste became obliterated.
officers of the old regime contend
discipline if officers and men frater-
nize socially. The other night gen.
eral saw one of his officers dining at
a famous London restaurant with a
private soldier. He took the officer
aside and expostulated with him on
his infraction of the army code. The
officers answer was: 1.-The soldier is
my brother"
England today has many Of her
proudest sons in the ranks, among
them the Earl Of Crawford. who is
serving as a hospital orderly. Some of
these again and again have refused
commissions.

The Secret Is Out.

Reddy Fox does not like mysteries.
One reason is that he is so clever and
smart that he cannot bear to think that
there is anything he cannot find out.
The mysterious disappearance OF
Jerry Muskrat over in Farmer
Browns carrot patch troubled Reddy
a great deal The truth is he couldn't
think of anything else. He had an un-
comfortable feeling that somehow
Jerry Muskrat had fooled him. and this
hurt his pride.
OF course. Reddy couldn't keep away
from that carrot patch very long.
In fact. he was back there again that
very same night. But this time he
didn't see anything Of Jerry. Very
early the next morning he made an
other visit to the carrot patch. This
time he hid right close to the place
where he had seen Jerry. He had been
there only a few minutes when he
turned his head for something and
when he looked back there sat Jerry

right In front of him. Reddy gasped.
There hadn't been sound yet there
sat Jerry as big as life. He wasn't
more than two jumps away. Reddy
crouched to make those two springs.
Just as he did so Merry Little Breeze
passed and carried the scent of Reddy
straight over to Jerry.
Reddy made the first of the two
necessary jumps and like a flash Jerry
disappeared. Reddy's second jump
| landed him on nothing at all but the
ground.
"Ha!' exclaimed Reddy. He was
no longer fooled. He knew now what
! had become of Jerry. No one could
disappear like that except into the
ground. 'fWhy didn't I think of that
before?" muttered Reddy. THAT fell
lows got hole around here somewhere
as sure as I have a white tip to my
tail"
Two minutes later his nose led him
to Jerry's hole under the spreading tops
of the carrots
! Reddy was sorely tempted to try
to dig Jerry out, but he remembered
| the hole in the ditch and he guessed
right away that Jerry had long tun-
mel, of which these two holes were the
idoorways. It would be of no use to
dig for Jerry because all he would have
to do would be to run through his tun-
mel and out the other entrance into the
lditch. Reddy thought for about two
minutes, then headed for the old pas
ture as fast as he could run. He had
a plan which he felt sure would sue
coed this time.

FASHIONS
The one-piece dress for street wear

The one-piece dress for street wear
is by far the most important single
item of well dressed woman's ward
robe. Selecting garments for wear at
home, whether for morning, afternoon
or evening, is a simple task. Making
these garments is equally simple; but
a woman's reputation for being well
or poorly dressed depends upon the
selection Of her street apparel. The
suit long ago took second place. The
fact that many suit manufacturers
have included dress lines in their out
put during the past few seasons helps
to prove this, if any proof is needed.
A glance at any fashionable thor
oughfare is another proof. Fully 80

Tassels Used as Weights.

In the gown sketched today which
is of deep green velours de laine, the
four tassels are used as weights to
hold down the Streamers of material
that otherwise would block traffic.
They are made of dark green silk floss
and begin in medallions. There are
two in back and two in front. These
streamers are part of a zouave jacket
which ends about half way between
neck and waistline and then, suddenly
remembering that the long line is the
fashion. drops itself down into these
four swinging pendants.
It is curious gown. but it has. its
adherents. 1t is one of the few that
accentuate the short waist line. There
is no doubt that certain touches of the
first empire and directoire are in
fashion, although they have not sue
ceeded in making much Roadway
against the universal oriental line.
The American designers seem to
care for this shortened waist line, and
they have persuaded certain of the
smart women to wear it as an Offset
to the chemise frock; but there is
always a sudden penitence felt, it
| would seem. about introducing this
idea, for there are several tricks that
both the French and American design
! ers use to lengthen the line at side
| and back Immediately after they have
| cut it off over the chest and between
the shoulder blades.

look like a first cousin to a large
upholstered chair.
1t must be admitted. however. that
these things are well done In the
gowns of the hour when they are
handled with skill by dextrous fingers
guided by well poised brains; but in the
hands of those not entirely great, the
result would be a catastrophe.
Popular Dangling Ornaments.
Fringe is probably responsible for
this epidemic of penT"nt~ ~"
from the surface of our clothes. The
moment that the 1oflns.
designers began to drop ornaments on
the edges of cloth until we were in
danger Of looking like civil war chan
delierS.
These should not only be Hoover
lied; they should be banished as nom
essentials. 1t is the part of the re-
porter to speak of them at length
because they are part and parcel OF
the hours novelties, but they are not
to be approved merely because some
one has led the world to wear them.
There are times and places. or rather
figures and fabrics. 'on which the
tassel and pompon make good APP
pearance, but, speaking by and large
they are a nuisance.
There are frocks from the most seri-
Gus houses in France that have small
worsted tassels dangling from the
sides of the skirt panels and running
up the back of the sleeves from elbow
to wrist. and there a few downs at the
best American houses that have long
swinging panels pointed or cut off in
a straight line and finished with tas-
sells of heavy silk floss.
If one is going to use this kind of
ornamentation, it is the better part of
wisdom, as well as conservation to
adopt the floss, and not the worsted.
The extraordinary fantasies to which
silk fioos has lent itself this season
cause no end of surprise, and whether
it takes on the form and appearance
of ostrich feathers or merely bangles
from a skirt as It would from a chair.
it looks far better than any other kind
of shredded fabric.

 I did not crumple this letter angrily as I had my husbands. My frenzied passion had passed, and it seemed be- meath my womanly dignity to treat the loathsome thing l held in my hand with anything but calm contempt. So. as l finished reading it, I folded it carefully two or three times and laid it on the table near me
 Lillian put out her hand and took 1t.
 "I want to read this thing again" she said. "I didn't have a chance to get the right slant on it, I believe. before.'
 l watched her curiously as she pe- rused the letter. She was evidently making most careful study of it, for she reread it, several portions of it. and a number of times stopped and seemed lost in thought at some pas sage. Once she looked up at me, her eyes plainly puzzled.
 Don't You See It?"
 There's something about this l don't understand, Madge. Of course, I'll admit it looks mighty bad for Dicky on the face of 1t, but I cant help fancying there's some explanation for it somewhere
 II am afraid l don't share your op timism," I replied a bit stiffly.
 Into her eyes flashed look in which I read infinite pity for me, but there was mingled with it something else som ething which brought the shamed blood to my checks. She lowered her eyes to the page before her an in stant later, but the memory of that glance remained. If convicted me somehow of a lack of loyalty to my husband.
 For a moment I felt fiercely resent full and all unworthily there flared up in me the old senseless jealousy of Lillian which had been mine In the first years of my marriage.
 "Why is she so loyal to Dicky?" asked myself fercely.
 The next moment my spirit was bowed in humiliation at my mental treachery to the woman who had been such d wonderful friend of us both felt eager to have her finish the let ter that I might set myself right with her. Of course, I could never confess the mad moment that had been mine, but I could pretend if I did not really feel hope that Dicky's responsibi bility for Grace Draper's letter was less than had imagined.
 AS she reached the last page I saw her start, and a look of relief flashed into her eyes.
 Well, may I be forgiven for a gib- bering idiot!' she ejaculated. ITO think that I didn't see through that clever she-devil before!''
 I looked up at Lillian in bewilder- ment. She had jumped to her feet, and was pacing the floor eXcitedly.
