NEW THINGS IN MILLINERY
Georgette or Taffeta; Some Mod
erateIy Priced Models.

A very pretty type OF leghorn hat Is
now being shown, according to the
bulletin of the Retail Millinery Asso-
citation Of America, with this straw
combined with navy g%eorgette or taf-
feta. These hats, the bulletin states,
can be used either for sport or tai
lored wear.
"In some cases." it continues, "the
entire crown of the hat is covered with
the %georgette or taffeta. Flanges on
the upper or lower brim are attrac-
tive, as well as side WI This
style Of hat has been seen in a mod
erately priced model and, owing to
the prediction that leghorns will be a
big factor this summer, it should be
popular. TuScans, too, are trimmed
in the same way, with fiange, side
crown or entire crown made Of navy
georgette or taffeta."

seafoam color, white kid belt. Skirt
OF white serge, accordion plated.

the charm of our thin summer apparel
quisite d%aintinesS, and these qualities
undeniably can be achieved even by
the most meager incomes if one so de-
termines.
Some clever women who make a
sweater and separate skirts answer
their needs are wearing the long
sleeved sweaters over fine camisOleS
and without q blouse underneath, set
ting the sweater off with fine cuffs
and wide collars of lace and lawn.
Naturally the sweaters worn thus are
the slip-on type and generally are of
navy blue or white. AS to the skirts,
which are so essential a part of the
summers outfit, nothing ever was pref
tier OF more satisfactory than the
sport Satins or ro~ugh-surfaced silk. If
we are considering the matter of
economy they are the things Of first
consideration, for while the satins can
be successfully Numbered, they can
be used a long time without, and do
not rumple as wash materials will do.
Again, the colOrs are so enchanting,
and, now that such a world of new eff
fects are brought out, one has endless
shades to choose from.
Because the new sport satins have
q "a which is disable in the reverse
side some of the new skirts have
hens, pockets and belt fashioned of
the reverse side of the material. For
have the straight round lines we have
had now for a number of years and
the fullness is gathered in at the band
and distributed evenly quite around
the waist. Wide belts of the satin are
worn with them and fasten at n
side with large pearl buttons. The
hens along the bottom of the skirt
are deep, though in the new weaves it
is possible to make the skirt of the
width of the material and then the sell
wage is used and no hem. This effect
will prevail, as it saves time, labor
and extra material. The tan silks such
as we have seen in standings, pOngees
and rajahs are very smart this year.
Some are cleverly trimmed with
foulards or surahs appliqued in some
| clever way. While for the most part
these also are made in the straight
round way mentioned, One finds them
now and then with plated sides put in
from waist to hem.

FEMININE %FRlPPERIES.

Some of the latest b~rassieres are
being made Of chiffon with yelled
clOsings. -
Black net and gold passementerie
are charming for evening turbans.
Blouses designed to be worn with
suits are especially partial to embroid-
cry.
Some Of the new jersey frocks come
in strong colors.
Bead studded silk bags are popular
and less expensive than those with
solid beading.
Many Of the new cotton or silk
blouses have sleeves of three-quarter
length, with wide cuffs.
Some Of the lew brOcade vests in
the smart box coats have their lower
parts gathered to simulate a girdle.

pump of tan leather, which may be
worn either with silk stockings or
ribbed wool hose.
These pumps are for running about
summer mornings. They look well with
sport costumes and are most comfort
able and convenient to wear. They
are not correct for golf; rather heavy
sOled calf boots or oxfords should be
worn on the links, though in midsum-
mer, when the turf is quite dry, white
buckskin shoes and oXfords appear on
the golf course with white costumes.
ButtOned shoes are coming back
into fashion again, but they must not
be worn with sport clothes any more
than party slippers would be. The but
toned boot, especially when 1t has a
high heel, represents the standard OF
correctness for formal or semifOrmal
wear, and it somehow does give a
smart frock that completeness of style
no laced shoe ever seems able TO eff
feet, however smartly it is made.

Girls with artistic taste are decOrat-

very gayly just now, says the London

they paste baskets of flowers Of many

but often in futuristic, colOrs, other
devices. A well-known young singer
has painted q number Of daffodils-

daffOdils anything but yellow and
pasted the Cut-Out flowers against a
siirery wall. The effect is deliciously
fresh, these spring days. Then a large

and with artistic suggestiveneSs, are
painting their furniture with equally
happy result.

Sport footwear these days is an i'm

boots for every sort Of outdoor occupa-

fatal to make a mistake in sport foot
wear as 1t is to wear the wrong sort of
boots on more formal occasions. Heel
less shoes are not correct for the golf
course, yet heels must not on any &C
count be worn on the tennis court-or
on deck Of a yacht or motor cruiser.
There are white sport oxfords and
white sport boots, and the oxfords are
much more informal In suggestion than
the boots. Added to the list of sport
footwear shouldsbe the new low heeled

Father Duffy Of Fighting Sixty-Ninth
Has Found No Evidence Of
ATROCITIES Of Huns"

In letter written to brother
priest in New York. Father Duffy,
chaplain of the famous Sixty-ninth
Regiment which distinguished itself
on the battlefront of Rence, has de-
MED many of the statements of atroc-
tiles committed by the Germans.
"You civilians may hold grudges
but we soldiers DON'T" he writes. "ln
the first place you have been fed on
stuff which our fellows call Bull.
We have fought the Germans two
long tricks in the trenches, and in
five pitched battles, and they never
did anything to us that we didn't try
to do to them. And we played the
rotten game of war as fairly as It can
be played.
1--WE followed their retreat through
three sectors, in two of which they
had been for years and we never wit
messed any of the atrocities we read
about. A church burned at St. Be-
mott without any good military reason
that I could see; building used as a
hospital shelled with loss of life (the
beggars nearly got me there), but
there was no way for them to know
it was a hospital; works of art piled
up for looting from Chateau Thierry.
That is the whole Indictment But no
crucified soldiers, no babies with their
hands cut off, no girls outraged in
trenches to provoke our soldiers to
rush on to death to rescue them, no
poisoned food or wells, no women
chained to machine guns and no pris-
oners playing treachery.
II know that sometimes some of
our own soldiers wrote such things
home only to be in for guying when
some trustful relative gave it to the
press, but nobody feel sure in the
Forty.second Division.

January 30.-Hon William E. Mason
(R.) Illinois, argued in Congress on
January II for league of nations.
He quoted this extract from President
Wilson's address at Mount Vernon as
point toward universal peace:
"The settlement of every question,
whether Of territory, of sovereignty,
of economic arrangement, or of politi-
cal relationship, upon the basis of the
free acceptance of that settlement by
the people Immediately concerned, and
not upon the basis of the material in
terest or advantage Of any other ma
tion or people which may desire a
different settlement for the sake of its
own exterior influence of mastery"
To-day there is no doubt that those,
who sit at the peace table, will hear
and consider the just claims Of all the
little peoples Of the earth except Ire
land. We are told that this is purely
an English question, and some say
purely an Irish question. I say 1t is
neither"
Mr.. Tilson, of Connecticut, inter
rupted him to ask how far he would
carry the principle of self-determina
tion, in the Philippines or in Ireland,
to how large a group would he apply
the principle. Mr.. Mason made this
memorable reply.
II would let the people there settle
for themselves, as your dad and mine
did in 1776, asked Katherine Hughes
a well-known writer and reliable
representative of Irish nationality, as
to the Ulster question, and this is her
answer:
"'Ulster is an integral part of the
ancient nation and territory of Ireland.
1t is popular and mistaken opinion
in this country that all the Protestants
of Ulster: are opposed to the govern
ment of Ireland by the Irish. Ulster
men, qualified to Judge claim that one
fifth of the Protestants Of Ulster are
Nationalist Irish. Some of the most
ardent Sim Fein leaders today, like
Blythe and Figgis and Hobson, are
Protestants.
"1n all Ulster there is only Prot
estant majority of 100000. In Belfast
city alone the entire Protestant ma
iority of Ulster lives. In five Of the
nine counties of Ulster the majority of
t'7e people are Catholics, viz: 81, Sc,

tion. In the four remaining counties
the Protestant majority is 3d. 54, 70,
and SO per cent. Ulster is not the
richest province of Ireland. Leinster
is the richest and pays the largest
share of taxes.
GAS Lindsay Crawford, an Ulster
Protestant and founder of the 1nde-
pendent Orangemen, stated at Toronto
last year in public speech: I'VE can
not forget the part that this Ulster
played in the years gone by in the
national fight. II in later years,
through the intrigues of British states
men, these men have been weaned
from the national cause, It is not, am
convinced, a hopeless task to bring
them back to the side of Ireland, to
make them stand, as their fathers
stood, for the defense and maintenance
of Irish nationality"
"'It is an historical fact that 13O
years ago the Protestants of Ulster
we're fighting with the Catholics Of
Ireland-the possessors and dispos-
sessed making common cause-against
England for Irish independence.
1T is also fact that some of the
religious and political prejudice,
planted in Ulster after that era Of in
dependence, still fingers. There are
Ulstermen, who claim their first duty
is to England, not to their native land,
Ireland. But l ask you to recall what
Washington did with the Ulster prob
lem on his hands in 1910. Those resi-
dents of America, who preferred to
remain 'Loyalists' to England, did
so, fifty thousand Of these 'Loyalists'
fought in the English army against
American independence, and Washing
ton simply regarded them as traitors
to their country. 1t is on record that
he called them 'abominable pests of
society," When American independ-
ence was established, such of these
Loyalists as desired to do so lived
peacefully in America; the others
moved into British territory and were
recompensed by England for any Pc
cuniary loss they suffered.
when our brave and splendid
mother country, Great Britain, makes
room in the Irish sky for an Irish nag,
she will have stronger ally in trade
and commerce, peace or war, than she
can ever have while the Irish citizen
is subject of Great Britain by force"

The cable from Rome today de-
clares that the pope has promoted
Monsignor Bowling to metropolitan of
the diocese of st. Paul. The term met.
ropolitan is used interchangeably
with archbishop, although in the early
church history there was slight
shade Of difference.
Official announcement of the pro.
motion had not been received at the
episcopal residence, according to Rev.
Thomas Welch, secretary.

the Office of archbishop will be made

can be arranged by the bishop himself.

that should not account for the diff.
ferent treatment meted out to them.
Already one of these prisoners has
died in Jail. 1t is possible that there
may be further and even worse trag.
edies If they are not speedily released.
Public bodies in Ireland have de.
manded the release of these prisoners
as an act of justice, and similar de-
mands are coming from the Irish in
America. The English Government
cannot afford to disregard public opin.
ion much longer.

The Irish Prisoners
(From the Irish independently

The French and Italian governments
granted amnesty to political prison
ers on the signing of the armistice.
It has been stated that the Belgian
government will not take any steps
to punish those Belgians who ack-
nowledge German rule and assisted
the Germans during their occupation
of Belgium. Even in Scotland the
Bolshevik Consul at Glasgow, Mac
Lean, who had been tried, convicted
and sentenced to two years imprison-
ment for sedition, was released on the
eve of the General Election, at which
he was a candidate in opposition to
a Cabinet Minister.
But the Sim Fein prisoners, many
of whom were arrested as far back
as eight months ago, none of whom
were brought to trial, are still de-
tained in British prisons. The excuse
put forward for their arrest was the
German plot" the existence of which
even reasonable Unionists refused to
, credit, and Lord Wimborne stated he
knew nothing about it, although he
was Viceroy at the time it was dis
covered" by the Government.
At any rate, the war is now over,
the Germans are beaten to the ropes,
and the plot" if it ever existed save
in tho imo piuofio NJ tho Government
cannot now be source of danger to
the British Empire. What, then, is
the reason for still keeping hundred
Irish men and women in prison with
out trial?
Some fifty of these prisoners we're
candidates at the General Election.
Why are they kept in prison when
MacLean was released? He was con-
victed Of very serious offense They
have not been brought to trial. Surely
