HORSES IN ANCIENT BATTLE
Seem to Have Been Little Used Except
to Garry the Infantry Into
tho Fight.

In the old days when the Romans
and Greeks fought furious battles. the
charioteers drove their cars in all
directions. hurled their javelins. and
by the 'din and clatter of horses
and wheels commonly threw the
ranks of the enemy into disorder
and. making their way among the
sQuadrons Of the eneIny's cavalry.
leaped down from their chariots and
Fought on foot. The charioteerS then
withdrew. little by little. from the fight.
and placed their chariots in such way
that II they were hard pressed
they gould readily retreat to their own
side. Thus in battle they afforded the
mobility Of cavalry with the steadi-
ness OF infantry. Daily practice en-.
abled them to pull up their horses at
full speed when on Il steep slope, or
to run out on the pole and stand on
the yoke, and to get nimbly back into
the chariot.
With the Introduction Of cavalry
In the later iron age came larger
horses, but their use for this pur-
pose seems to have been restricted
to Isolated areas. There Is no doubt
that the west German tribes, as
late as the campaign Of Caesar in
Gaul. used only the shaggy pony. 1t
Is said in cavalry actions they held it
disgraceful and slothful to use any
kind Of saddle. and instead OF charg
Ing in squadrons they dismountcd and
fought on foot AS far as England is
concerned, the art Of riding seems to
have been introduced by the Normnns.
The SaXons appear to have been but
Indifferent horSemen.

THE MATTER OF DRAPERY.
ny ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

1t seems like small matter-just
! the shifting of a few inches. Yet it is
! really Immensely signif1cant-if any
| thing in mere fashion is significant
| that in many of the smartest new
| frocks the belt or girdle or ceinture
does not loop or tie or knot just in
front of the left hip. but directly in
the middle. 1t was repeated over and
over again--that left side drapery of
| the belt. We didn't seem to be able
to get away from 1t. 1t was over the
left hip that dressmakers placed the
willow ostrich efstoons when they de-
cided that ostrich of the pleureuse
sort was appropriate on evening
frocks. and 1t was at that same place
that they put festoons of flowers or
those amusing little decorations of
cock feathers made to resemble roses.
And it was all part of Il style era
when 1t seemed to be decreed that we
should not be the same on both sides.
Right In the Middle.
But when this belt trimming comes
right in the middle Of the front then
there must be symmetry. Both sides
of the frock must be alike-and why
shouldn't they be? You are alike, or
nearly alike, on both sides as far as
appearances go-two arms, two eyes,
two ears and your mouth and nose are
much the same on both sides. And
the symmetrical gown initiates Ma
ture. who attempts nothing on the
right side that she does not attempt
on the left side.
III the sketch is one of these new
little frocks that come out frankly
with the announcement that they in
tend to be identical on both sides. The
belt is there with it's decorative ends.
but it has been shifted right to the
center. 1t is much of relief is IT
not. after those endless left side de-
pendencies?
And the sleeves are long likewise
very smart. One of the dreSSmakers
is showing the heightened sleeves in
her new frOckS and it may be-just
posi- blY-that, now that the ma ajority
are waking up to the fact that very
short sleeves are in vogue. the fash
ionable element will very silently slip
back into long sleeves again. What q
pity when those very short sleeves are
just breaking into paper patterns that
tickle fashion should begin to think of
getting back to longer sleeves,
And as for fabricS-the frock is of
French blue duvetyn, trimmed with
mole and embroidered with metallic
thread while the significantly placed
belt is metal affair with u long blue
silk taSSel.
Trim 1t Yourself.
4 very good suggestion is contained
in this little froCk for the woman who
is trying to make d much limited dress
allowance go a long way--a task al
ternately very boring and immensely
entertaining. Other women haV" done
it with good result and so might you.
Get your dressma ker to make the
foundation frock. 1t will need skilIful
treatment of line. as such simple
frocks always do. but it will require
no elaborate workmanship. And the
rest. the mbellishment, you may
v0nrSa1f From old fur
piece YOU might have the tailor who
also da bibles in fur extract enough for
the collar and cuffs that you may tack
on the frock yourself. The metal belt,
or one similar to it. may be bought at
the trimming counter of your favorite

A Different Game of Hide and
Seek.

Once moro Iightfoot the Deer WIS
playing hide and seek in the Green
Forest But it was d different game
than the one he had played just Il
short time before You remember
that then it had been for his life that
he had played-he was the one who
had done all the hiding. Now, he
was it and some one else was doing
the hiding. Instead of the dreadful
fear which had filled him in that
other game he was now filled with
longing, longing to make friends with
the beautiful stranger of whom he
had just caught a glimpse, but OF
whom every day he found tracks.
At times Lightfoot would lose his
temper. Yes sir, Lightfoot would
lose his temper. That was a foolish
thing to do. but it seemed to him
that he just couldn't help 1t. He
would stamp his feet angrily and
spreading antlers as if they We're an
enemy with whom he was fightlng.
More than once when he did this a
great pair of great, soft, gentle eyes
were watching him. though he didn't
know it. If he could have seen them
and the look of admiration in them
he would have been more eager than
ever to find that beautiful stranger.
At other times L1ghtfoot Would
steal about through the Green For
est as noiselessly as a shadow. He
would peer into .thickets and behind
tangles of fallen trees and brush
piles, hoping to surprise the one he
Sought He would be very, very pa
tient Perhaps he would come to
thicket which he knew from the signs
the stranger had left only few mo-
ments before. Then his patience
would vanish in impatience and he
would dash ahead eager to catch up
with tho shy stranger. But always IT
was in vain. He had thought himself
very clever, but fhis stranger was
proving herself more clever:
Of course, it wasn't long before all
the little people in the Green Forest
knew what was going on. They
knew all about that game of hide
and seek just as they had known all
about that other game Of hide and
seek with the hunters. But now, in
| stead of trying to help Lightfoot as
| they did then. they gave him no help
! at all. The fact is they were enjoy
| ing that game.
Mischievcus Sammy Jay even went
| so far as to warn the stranger sew
| eral times when Lightfoot was ap-
rroaching. OF course, Lightfoot knew
when Sammy did this. and each time
| he lost his temper. For the time be-
| ing he quite forgot all that Sammy
| had done for him when he was the
| one being hunted. Once Lightfoot
almost ran smack into Buster Bear,
