The required unanimity in the action
of the council is very important in the
answer it gives to the claim that under
Article y and Article XVI the United
States may be required to send oXpedi
tionary forces into distant parts Of the
world to defend the integrity and in
dependence of country with which
we have no relation of interest or to
suppress remote wars not affecting us.
Such expeditions are to be planned and
recommended by the council. and the
plap is to be accepted in the discretion
of the countries to whom the recon-
meudatior is addressed.
~ plan would certainly mark the
limis ! the obligation of the nations
to whom it is presented. The United
States will have representative on
the council. whose vote must approve
the plan before its presentation. Is il
likely. then. that the plan will be un-
reasonable in proposing an undue share
of the leagues work TO the United
States? May we not be sure that what
is TO be done will be apportioned ac-
cording to the convenience and natural
interest of the members of the league,
because it must in effect be by mutual
agreement
1t is now made clear that under
Article VIII the limit of armament for
each country, under general plan OF
reduction proposed by the council. is
only to be adopted and made binding

The amendments to the covenant OF
the league Of nations adopted in Paris
on Monday will bear careful study. and
perhaps it is unwise hastily to express
confident opinion. But several read
ings suggest the following comment:
In the first place. the language and
arrangement of the articles have been
greatly improved. The use of different
terms to mean the same thing. which
tended to prevent an easy reading of the
document. has been largely avoided.
Provisions having immediate relation to
one another have been assembled where
they belong. avoiding application of
them to subjects or countries which
they were not intended 70 affect. Then
names. misleading or clumsy. have been
changed The executive council. which
was and is not executive but advisory.
has become the council. The body of
delegates has become the assembly. a
much more suitable term.
Second. rules of construction that
ought to have obtained in interpreting
the original covenant are now made OK -

friends and supporters of the league.
The most important Of these. perhaps.
is the privilege spcciafically reserved
TO any member of the league to with

We have some faithful friends
among cotton fabrics that often lapse
into more or less complete oblivion.
When they are about forgotten they
emerge at the call Of some great and

IN several rows at the waistlfne into
the narrow belt. All the sewing on
this frock is carefully done. The old
fashioned pockets are outlined with a
very narrow fancy braid Of white cot
ton and have the simplest of very mar
row black ribbon set OH them-a little
caress for Abeing so pretty and quaint.
The waist, as simple and plain as
the skirt, is finished at the "V"-shaped
neck with wide plain collar Of white
net set off with a bow of black ribbon
and white lawn chemisette fills it in
daintily. Altogether this is dress
that is worth the while of an artist in
clothes, and 1t is very pretty. Perhaps
the same design is responsible for the
brown and white small-checked ging-
ham, made up with the introduction
of white lawn in accessories, with a
hat to match, that Outshines its more
expensive rivals on the street. These
familiar materials and unpretentious
dresses have their own charm and are
in a class by themselves.

About Music, but He Was
Bear on Economy.

A Woodworking farmer in Ohio had
sent his son TO good school of music
so that he might receive the best in
struction from the beginning. Il was
necessary to buy violin for him, but
he was such a little chap that his
teacher thought that a so-called "half
violin" would do. The father whose
resources had been badly taxed, was
loath to part with the money for the
instrument, but finally did 50.
The lad made rapid progress, and
became so proficient that half-violin
was no longer good enough for him.
Again he went to the music store with
his father, to whom the salesman
showed the entire stock of violins. The
parent was apparently dlssatified
with all of them, and his gaze wan.
dered around the shop seeking for
something better. Finally he saw

said he, as smile of satisfaction
spread over his countenance. "The

All Written by Women.

An Indiana teachers federation has
much to some of the male members
chagrin, woman for it's president. OF
course some of them try to show their
superiority-particularly one who the
other day was arguing that women
knew so little about parliamentary
drill that they were not fitted for the
positions Of superior Offices.
The young woman listened, smiled
and then said: "Well, I'm willing to
learn"
Magnanimously the man offered to
buy her book on the subject. They
entered book store, made known their
request, and the clerk laid down on
the counter before them four books,
saying that they were the only books
on the subject she had. They began to
examine them and 1o-all four were
written by women.-Indianapolis

We are to have variety of new and

Europe, for the trade Of the world, as-
pire to making the American blouse
pre-eminent, like the American shoe,

material. Therefore we expect, with
good reason, blouses that will accom-
plish the utmost that designers can do,
in variety of styles.
Tailored blouses are shown in flesh,
white, navy and black satin and with
high necks and long sleeves. Fine
tucks In groups that form stripes
prove to be appropriate and most pop

Georgette and foulard are combined In
other tailored biouses, the plain georg-
cite forming the body and sleeves, with

foulard.
In dressy blouses there are some
very rich and unique models. One OF
