The Peril of Peace

1t is so good, we say, to slip once more
Back to our homely, comfortable ways
Back to the dear monotony of days,
Each like the one before.
The world was worn with war and
CHASTITY fears,
With shock succeeding shock, with
dread on dread;
We had not known how kind to us, we
said,
Had been the old slow years.
O blessed Enthusiastically common
place
Of common tasks, of ready laugh and
jest,
Of fireside comradeship! We had not
guessed
These had such holy grace.
And to go back-at once to put away
The sickening horrors from our sight
and lives
And find the old sweet LONELINESS sur
1t is so good, we say.
But shall we not be wary, lest per
chance
In easy thankfulness we should forget
The hell-hot flame that burns in
The new-made graves in France?

Valenciennes lace is dyed in one in
stance to match the color Of the spot
ted organdie fabric which makes the
frock. This is pretty idea for sum-
mer frocks, but much care must be ex-
ercised to have the lace match exact
ly, for if it is little off shade the
entire effect is lost.
Revival of the Lace Collar
Tinted in antique shade, dyed to
match the frock, the lace collar finds
some excuse efe1' its being in ev-
idence. Lace around the neck is soft
and attractive finish and gives the
quaint charm of the days Of chivalry
A lace collar could be easily worn
with either of these suits shown. The
contrasting collar on the coat coult
be removed and lace one of the
same shape applied. This suit also
gives the opportunity for the wearing
of a waistcoat.

The effects of the glad home-com-
ing upon the spirits of their kin was
obvious by the happy expression that
appeared on the face of every observ-
er. Nor was the festive spirit con-
fined to mental manifestation alone.
All the feminine world, with
keen appreciation Of the event, set
forth to beautify itself for the occas-
fon, This resulted in the resem-
blance of the gala day to former East
er Sundays. The lateness of Easter
this year, caused many to take advan-
tage of the memorial day for the de-
but of the Spring Costume.
Small Fur Pieces for Neck
Suits were most in evidence and 1T
is predicted that they will be more
favored for Spring than the one-pieces
dress. The smartness OF many OF
these suits lay in the charming little
waistcoats that were worn. The suit
NAV be of the simplest lines and most
unusual design but the presence OF an
individual little waistcoat will give
the whole an air of distinction and
stvle. 1t is in these details that the
secret of the smartness of a suit or
frock lies.
Around the neck of every fashion
able woman was tightly fastened a
single skin which clung closely to her
neck. These skins are preferably OF
sable, but this expensive fur may be
substituted by the less pretentious
kolinsky, fitch or mink. The fur
tightly around the neck gives a
charming effect, especially If the
wearer has a tailored suit coat show
ing beneath. Far neater in appear
ance are the single skins than the
heavy capes and coatees of fur for
Spring.
Other Details of Importance
A touch of your personal self In a
gown always enhances the beauty OF
It, for your individuality is revealed
and the creation harmonizes with the
wearer to an almost perfect degree.
The newest way sponsored by the crit
ical Dame Fashion of expressing indi-
viduality is through the medium OF
hand painting. This, however, is
rather limited to the Russian blouse,
that is at present just holding us
spell bound. The ease and comfort
of these things, plus the style, makes
them one of the most valued and fav-
ored fashions Of the day.

rangements can be made with the To-
cal high SCHOOLS to allow high school
pupils to attend normal, beginning
about April 2S or 20. The logic OF
this is that the normal training is
closer to the work for the next year

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There Is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the resultI Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrn. which is
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system

 The Austrian delegation expressed the belief that the total sum neces, sary would reach s1oo'oo0,ooo' which is the amount Chancellor Renner yes terday asked the council to lend td Austria

OFFICIALS ADMIT
 MAYOR WITHOUT
 RIGHT TO MONEY
Laws of City Are Specific on These Points-Council's
 Consent Needed.

City officials at the City Hall this morning freely admitted that Mayor Wilson had absolutely ne authority of any kind to draw $225 for his vacation expenses under the gTuise of expenses for the mayors convention at Savan- nah, Ga
 City Clerk J. Alex Robinson reluct- antIy admitted that no authority had been given the mayor for such a course. The city's laws on such a thing Is specific on such points and states that the permission of the coun- cil Is needed to send a delegate at the expense of the city to any convention or meeting of this nature.
 It Is needless to say that Mayor Wilson with Is Republicans in the council could easily have secured the privilege of attending the convention and done so legally but many at the executive city offices are today ex- pressing themselves with some force on the question of drawing $22b vaca- ton expenses from the treasury when Mayor Wilson receives a salary of s6,000 a year, twice as much as any other mayor the city ever had re- ceived for his services and in addition to this he also receives $1,500 a year as lieutenant governor Of the state.

Woman 54, Must CO To
 Jail For Throwing Acid
HARDLY MORE DAsTARDLY OUTRAGE COULD BE MENTIONED SAYS CoURTsTATE's
 ATTORNEY PAYS JUDGE TRIBUTE

Found guilty by jury on the charge of throwing acid in the face of another woman, Mrs. Annie Maxfield, a 64-year-old Stamford resident, stood unmoyed in the. Criminal Superior court this morning while Judge Reed denounced. her act and then sentenced her to jail for 50 days. In addition to the Jail sentence the court imposed a fine of $500 and costs, which will make a total of over S40G.
 Judge Reed said before he passed sentence that he was sorry for the foolishness and: crime of this woman but he added that there was little to be said in favor of such @ crime. Hardly a more dastardly outrage could be mentioned the court said, than an act of this kind whether it is done by a man or a woman. If ever a case called for punishment this is the one. A woman who will do an act like throwing acid in another wo- mans face, because of soma grudge, is entitled to no nsideration."
 Mrs. Maxfeld betrayed no sign of emotion while Judge Reed was speak ing. Even when the jury's verdict was announced she remained calm. It was reported that her counsel might later make a motion that Mrs. Max field be released temporarily on bonds

RHODE ISLAND FILES MOTION RELATIVE TO
 PROHIBITION ACT
Anticipate Early Action on These Motions Owing to the Short Time Before the Con- stitutional Amendment Becomes Effective.

Washington, Dec. 17-Valid- ity of portions of Volstead pro- hibition enforcement act af- fecting the constitutional amendment also is attacked in the printed motion filed with the Supreme court, on behalf of Rhode Island.
 The proceedings are similar to those instituted yesterday on behalf of the Retail Liquor Dealers Assocfa- ton of New Jersey, although those today were the first to be brought by a state. They were filed in com pliance with a resolution adopted by the Rhode Island General Assembly directing that the state bring a test case against the amendment Rhode Island was one of the states which refused to ratify the prohibition amendment.
 Allegations as to the constitutional ity of the Eighteenth Amendment are similar to those made. yesterday in the New Jersey case. Early action upon the Rhode Island and New Jer- sey motions are anticipated owing to the short time now remaining before the constitutional amendment be- comes effective.
