First newspaper correspondent at
the front in Belgium at the outbreak
of the world war, Mary Boyle O'Reilly
daughter of the Journalist and poet
John Boyle O'ReilIy of Boston, has
a wonderful story to tell the Bridge
port Chautauqua when she appears
here next Wednesday evening at the
Bridgeport High School auditorium.
On the day England declared war
she went to Brussels and Liege and
fell back with the population in fight.
Soon she was assigned to relief work
by Burgomaster Max. She inter-
viewed the queen of the Belgians;
was closely associated with Edith
Cavell; was deported to Germany by
the Prussian military governor as "a
disturber of the peace" and returned
to investigate the ''frightfullness
within the Gordon.
Miss O'Reilly was the only known
alien who was in Louvain on "the day
of fate" The reports to her papers
were hung up in the Berlin war Of
flee as ''the ultimate SANDERS" Fin
ally she walked across Belgium and
into Holland during the fortnight of
"frightfulness, crossing the German
army. She was arrested in Holland
as "a dangerous war correspondent"
and was sent out of the country.
Miss O'Reilly will be heard as one
of the thirteen lecturers or intertain-
ers of the Chautauqua course which
will commence Monday evening and
close Friday evening.
There are still many reserved seats
left despite the large number ex-
changed this morning at the First NJ
E. church, and they may be obtained
from Chamberlain & Shropshire in
Cannon street, where the chart will
remain until the opening of the series
of entertainments.

Etiquette

A gentleman should not hold a
lady's hat, nor should the lady take
charge of the gentleman't hat, in the
theatre.
Matron-The correct thing for you
to do is to go to the house of the
lady who is i'll and inquire of who
ever answers your ring as to her con-
dition. You should not go in, but
you may leave your card for the in
valid with the words, inquire" writ
ten in pencil below the engraved
name. This distinguishes the visitors
who have called for this especial pur-
pose from ordinary callers. An init
mate friend may write a CHEEKY little
note to the sufferer if she wishes, ex-
pressing hopes for her speedy re-
covery. Notes written to people who
are i'll should not be too sympathetic,
lest they become doleful and depress-
ing.
GA cane or an umbrella should
never be carried under the arm. 1t

other people, and might even strike

BASINO.

Basino was the wife of Basin, King
of Thuringia- When Childeric, king
of France, was driven from his do
minions by his people, he sought re-
fuge with the King Of Thuringia and
during his residence at that court Ba-
sine fell violently in love with him.
When Childeric was at length re-
stored to his throne she followed him
to France, without his knowledge. In
fact, he was overwhelmed with sur
prise and joy when she presented her
self before him at his court Had
known a more valiant hero than
yourself" she said to him, Il should
have fed over the seas to his arms"
Childeric took her as his wife and
she became the mother, in 467, Of
the great Clovis, the first Christian
King of France.

SWEATERS MOST
ESSENTIAL
ITEM ....

We had gotten used to believing
that Dame Fashion was rather 'sot'
in her ways, so this season we are re-
ceiving a pleasant surprise. For mar
row as she may previously have been,
just at present she is proving herself
remarkably broad minded and is
smiling graciously upon a greater var-
iety of things than ever before met
with her approval.
Time of thrift and war conditions
as it undoubtedly is, still there is no
sane reason why any woman should
allow herself to look down at the heel
because of it.
The sweater is an essential item of
the spring and summer wardrobe; and
although now, when wool is so ur-
gently needed to fashion comforts for
our soldier and sailor laddies, no
woman ought to be lavish in supply
ing herself with these affairs, still
every maid and matron ought to num-
Der at least one smart model among
her possessions.
What type that model shall take
depends entirely upon personal taste,
for everything is modish, from the
slip-overs to the good old fashioned
straight-up -and-down-and -buttoned
over type.
Every color takes it's turn, and for
dainty compliments if lingerie dresses
nothing as prettier than light, fluffy
slip-overs developed in delicate rain
bow tints, while for useful wear or
for sport costumes the darker tones
and heavier yarns are of course the
more practical.
Often it is a bit difficult to find a
sweater that is both dressy and SER
viceable, yet the first model pictured
here combines both in its makeup.
Fashioned in light blue alpaca, this
pretty s1ip-over's special features are
the sailor collar with it's corded fas-
Jennings, the ribbed waistline and sufs
and the f1aring bottom.
The coat sweater has a, very smart
air of distinction, and developed in
pure navy blue silk, the white band
ing on collar, cuffs, belt and front,
produces a most unusual effect. The
large pockets and collars are aso out
of the ordinary.

WITHOUT SUGAR

How grandmothers would have eN-
claimed had they heard of anyone
giving up cranberry sauce because it
took so much white sugar to sweeten
it! ''Why should anyone use su-
CARP" they would have asked. They
never did. 1t would have been an
objectionable extravaganza. Molassee
was good enough for them, and it
should be good enough for Americans
now, if they only knew how to use it
Cranberries should be cooked in an
enameled utensil which is unaffected
by the acid of the berry. Therefore,
put the cranberries in an enameled
ware sauce pan with just enough wa
ter to keep them from scorching until
the heat libeates their own juices.
Cook until all is a smooth paste, then
add molasses, half a cup of molasses
to one cup of cranberry sauce. Cook
gently while stirring it in. Though
this will darken the appearance of
the sauce, it will not be otherwise a
detriment; indeed, many people come
to prefer the sauce made by this war
method.

about clad in mourning robes and
with a sorroWful countenance. But
when darkness came she fastened to
Sabinus; and before daybreak she re-
turned to her home. These clandes-
tine visits continued for seven
months. Then Esponina persuaded
Sabinus to assume a disguise and go
with her to Rome, where she might
plead for his pardon.
The long and dangerous journey
to Rome was made, but there the
! faithful wife met with only cruelty
and disappointment. The officials OF
Rome refused to consider with COM
passion the case of a rebel chief. "a.
Sad and hopeless, Eponina and
sabinus, still wearing his disguise, re-
turned to Ligones. Again the I'M
happy han sought shelter in a cave
to wait alone.
Finally, Eponina, unable to bear
the thought of the lonely existance
of her husband, gathered together a
few belongings of value and aband-
oned her home. Seeking the cave
which served as a refuge for Sabinus,
she said:
ct have come, my husband, to
share your misfortune. Nevermore
will I leave your side"
Sabinus strongly protested against
such a sacrifice, saying that it was
| impossible for her to indure the hard
ships and uncertainties of such, life
as he was compelled olive.
To this Esponia replied:
"Your objections are in vain. Moth
ing will cause me to alter the greatest
desire of my heart-to become a fug-
tive with you.''
Sabinus was compelled to yield to
her desires, and Eponina never re-
turned to her former home. For nine
long years she affectionately looked
after the needs of her husband. She
bore the hardships of their wild life
uncomplainingly. The great love Of
this devoted couple was their only
comfort, and in it they found true
happiness.
But their hiding place was eventu
ally discovered by their enemies. They
were seized and sent as prisoners tt
Rome.
Vespasian was deaf to the pitiablt
tale of the fugitives. The Emperor
condemned Sabinus to instant death

This has been a day of surprises.
This morning Madame said:
"Claire, if some one were to offer
you a new frock, what kind would
you choose?"
can Elton frock-a1moSt a dupli-
cate of the one you designed for Miss
Nash" 1 answered without a mo-
ment's hesitation. THAT model was
perfect for a slender girl-its lines
were youthful yet extremely smart,
and it was the sort of frock that
would never look shabby. Even if it
had hard wear a good pressing would
always restore it's freshness
you've made a wise choice" was
Madame's reply, and I gasped when
she continued: Come upstairs with
me, for 1 intend that you shall have
the best looking Elton frock can de-
sign"
I felt all prickly with excitement as
I trotted after her. 1t had been ages
since I'd had such a happy surprise.
When we reached the room where
the materials are kept Madame said:
would you like silk or worsted
better?"
"Silk-one of the heavy weaves-l
either pongee, crepe or Amphora," I
replied.
"Amphora will make very smart
Elton frock. You want blue, of
| course?"
I chose a dark blue, a blue with
not the slightest hint of purple in it.
Now, we must have some white
satin or japanese silk for the under
blouse. Which would you prefer"
I answered that 1 liked the Japan
csc silk, the kind used for mems
| shirts.
Madame found a piece with a dull
| finish that appealed to her as the
very thing to combine well with the
blue Amphora. And, taking the ma
| terials to Miss Wesley, she gave her
detailed instructions as to the maxi
| ing of my frock.
| use four widths of the material
| for the skirt, which is to be pleated.
Make the pIeats deep, so they won't

| to the figure if necessary. Claire is

perfectly straight lines, anyway. Let
the pleats hang free from the waist

1.-THE Elton is to be sleeveless, very
like a bolero jacket, and it mustn't
extend below the top of the girdle.
I'd better make a sketch of the
| jacket and underblouse."
When the sketch was finished
Madame explained everything about
it's construction so clearly that I felt
almost confident enough to make it
myself.
Don't cut the arm holes Of the
Elton too large-I want them to come
well up under the arms-in fact
make them only a trif1e larger than
those of the underblouse. One of the
reasons SO many Elton jackets give
their wearer the appearance of being
round-shouldered is due to the fact
that the too large arm holes spring
out at the back. Let the front open

met the revolving tribes in battle. The
barbarians suffered defeat and the
few who remained alive fled in con-
fusion to their country.
Sabinus was among these. He fed
to an obscure cottage, and in an eff
fort to escape capture set fire to his
hiding place. The Romans returned
to their camp believing that he had
persisted in the flames.
Among the first to learn of the
death of Sabinus was Eponina, his de-
voted wife. So deep was the grief of
this faithful woman that the Romans
were convinced further search for
Sabinus was unnecessary. For days
Eponina mourned, and then a mes
senger brought word that her husband
lived, having invented the story of his
death that the Romans would discon-
tinue their search.
Eponina's sorrow changed to joy
but knowing that she was watched
by spies she affected a deeper grief
than ever. During the day she went

Madame said:
