lnterrupted Lesson.

An ancient French schoolhouse, de-
serted in the flight of the villagers,
was taken over by the Americans as
part of the headquarters of a field
ambulance. The interrupted lesson
could be read upon the bulletin board
by the Yankee wounded, carried
through, and a Daudet among them
could have woven a masterpiece from
it. The moral that the teacher was
intoxicating when he held his "derniere
class" was this:
"The free man obeys his conscience
and the laws of his country"
And the phrase set before the pu-
pills for their composition exercise that
day-the date was written on the
board, 20 Mai, 191S-was:
'Un jour de grand vent"
They might have written it: "The
day of the big wind."-Stars and

leaves, there is no reason why any one
woman should wish herself out of the
picture. Let her 60 along with the
momentum of the hour and buy and
wear garments of fig leaves.
The public is beginning to see the
wisdom of buying small amount at
the moment it is needed. 1t should be
preached in every possible form of
propaganda that this is the wise way
to live during war time. Rest assured
that If the public buys up all the stock
of one thing from store, that store
will be replenished the moment it's sup
ply Is exhausted.
OF course, there are women who al
ways demand quality. They prefer to
have badly cut gown, made in past
fashion, If they are sure that every
thread is silk or wool, as the case may
be. But the majority Of women are
not inclined toward accepting that sys-
TEN of dress.
Therefore, let us start out in a new
measure of reform, as soon as this
month Is over, and face September
with no idea of rushing into shops and
buying everything that Is offered be-
cause it is labeled New" Maybe it is,
and maybe it isn't. But feeling of
panic among buyers that now is the
only chance to get enough clothes to
carry one through the winter, results
in the very thing that the government
| desires most to see avoded-reckless
| spending of money. So buy shrewdly,
and not for boarding.
If there is to be economy in clothes,
let it begin this week. 1t is at this
| time, between the seasons, that wom-
| an can take thought of her wardrobe
and twist and turn 1t according to pre-
vailing fashion, in q way that will serve
her until styles are more settled. Then,
when she has to buy much, she will
buy wisely and well.
Help in Remodeing Clothes.
Here are some prophecies that may
help you to be economical and wise.
| One of them sounds like the first aid
| TO an injured wardrobe IF comes di-
rect from Paris. 1t is that checks,
stripes and mosaic blocks are widely
worn in whole suits and parts of suits.
Can you imagine any piece of news
more gratefully received than that
which gives a woman chance to make
a new coat to an old skirt, or the
other way around?
There are colored stripes on white
background, made of heavy wooden ma
terial and built into a skirt to be worn
with any slip-on cuirass or short jack
ct of colored cloth or velvet.
Skirts are narrow. AS the govern
ment will allow shoes to be 8 inches
from the ground, the skirts need not
| be heightened. For the present they
remain moderately short. What the
near future will bring out no one can
say.

New YOrk.-The trade, which means
the vast multitude of people engaged in
the making and selling of wOmens APP
parel, has at last sounded a warning to
those who buy too far ahead of the
seasons, advises a well-known fashion
correspondent.
The public has deplored this condi-
ton. 1t has been well known for sew
eral seasons that the average woman
did not care to buy straw hat in
February and a velvet hat in July, or
to have all her autumn clothes offered
to her the first of September with the
assurance that they were the fashions
that would rule throughout the winter.
She has been often betrayed and that
betrayal has not SOOthed her irritation
against those who sold her the clothes.
1t is the fact also that the trade in
turn has found itself caught in
net that tangled and involved it, and
compelled each individual to struggle
for success in a manner contrary to
the dictates of reason and SObriety.
Through this web of circumstances
everyone has come to a feeling that
something must be done in the crea-
ton of new fashions long before the
season for which they are to be worn,
and that the public must follow the
lines laid down by the trade competi-
tors.
Right here lies the extraordinary
gamble to women in buying clothes
early in the season. Right here lies
one of the greatest sources of money
waStage. Thousands of women, who
have no way of knowing what the
fashions will be as the season adj
vances, buy what is said to be new as
the season demands a change.
What they buy in September has
probably been bought by the shop in
June. To keep up with the rising tide
Of forehandedness, the manufacturers
make the clothes earlier and earlier,
and the ready-to-wear shops and de-
partment stores, as a rule, buy these
clothes as early as the manufacturers
make them, and get them out at the
very moment there is slight demand
for them.
What happens?
In October and in April the real
fashions come out for each season.
Hundreds Of women-nay, thousands
are faced with the fact that they have
bought gowns, or wraps, or hats that
are not in keeping with the new
clothes. They have bought clothes ar
ranged six months before the anthem
tic exhibitions of new and seasonable
apparel.
What happens next?
The woman who can possibly scrape
up enough money to buy a new outfit
does so, and she also spends extra
money on a SeamStreSs or little dress
maker to have her other clothes re-
modelled. Therefore, she spends twice
her allowance on clothes.
Panic Has Produced Careless Buying.
Many of the traders in apparel real
lie that panic and form of CONNER
cial hysteria have resulted in large
amount of early buying, which is not
fair either to the individual or to COM
merce. Every shopper has shared the

THE LIBERTY LOAN AND

other governmental efforts is expressed
in the telegram of Secretary McAdoo

ing of the American Newspapers Pub
fishers Association.

citation of the great service they have
rendered to their country by their con-
sistent, unselfish and patient support
of the successive Liberty Loans, which
have been offered by the Treasury De-
partment.
"These loans could not have sue
ceeded without the support of the
newspapers, and it gives me great
pleasure to make this acknowledge
ment. An enlightened public opinion
is the chief asset of democracy. By
keeping the people of America informed
on public events and transmitting word
of the financial and other needs of the
Government, the American newspapers
have performed public and incalcu-

Lonebray, May 8.-Germany's
hordes are still held in check. Neither
in Flanders nor in Picardy nor along
the important Arras sector has the
enemy renewed his attacks in force
and he has not reacted against the
gain made north of the Somme by the
Australians in which more than 200
prisoners were captured
On both battle fronts, however, the
artillery fire has been most intense
and the German attack cannot much
longer be delayed if the enemy hopes
to take advantage of whatever damage
has been done to the Allied positions
by the heavy bombardments carried
out by his guns since the repulse
north of Mont KENNEL more than a

tillery activity has been on the north
