PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 24-Lord
DunTaven, according to a copyrighted
dispatch from London TO the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger: in a message
to the Times says:
ITO the best Of my ability I have
increasingly endeavored to impress
upon those who ought to be inter-
ested and certainly are responsible,
the necessity Of offering Ireland q
large measure Of self-government.
Whether il be on the lines indicated
in The Times some time ago or on
other lines does not matter much,
provided IL is as generous and cCm-
prehepsive as is compatible with the
elemental facts. nor is immediate ac-
ceptance- essential
THE theory on which the govern
ment appears to act IS that nothing
remedial can be done for Ireland till
Ireland is good, is about as wise as
though a physician should refuse to
prescribe until a sick man was well.
That law ana order must b. main

to put i in practice and really give
security to life and property is the

AS mothers become buster, or less in
clined to spend time in sewing, in or
der to give it to other affairs, they
have learned to look to the specialist
to help them out with frocks and other
clothes for children. And manufac-
turers have met the growing demand
for ready-made or partly-made clothes,
by turning out examples Of good de-
signing, in practical materials, that
the most gifted amateur cannot hope
to excel. Even those mothers who
prefer to have the children's clothes
made at home, look to the display of
children's frocks made In the shops for
models to guide them. Wraps they
nearly always buy ready made.
Since the school girl must be out
fitted by the time September appears
over times horizon, dresses and wraps
for her make their entry In July.
These forerunners of fall styles this
year show that the neat effects
that were featured in spring have
come to stay while, all because they
were so heartily welcomed. They
mark an advance in taste and are use
full in educating the little girls them
selves to like neatness. A fine sense
of clothes is sometimes inbarn, but
oftener it is acquired unconsciousIy by
the fortunate daughter of a discrim

nevertheless, contrives to be very
dainty. The manufacturer who turned
out the two envelope chemises shown
here will not dread a comparison be-
tween them and their handmade coun-
terparts. They are just as effective and
just as durable. 1t is In little details OF
finish that the handmade garment gets
beyond the limitations Of machinery
and cannot be exactly copied. The
chemise at the left is Of white silk with
crossbar of green. There is yoke
of plain silk, also border about the
bottom and bands over the shoulders
made of it. Bows Of narrow ribbon
with their hanging ends finished with
soft silk balls make fascinating and
original finishing touches.
The lovely garment at the right Is
made of pale blue satin with heavy
silk embroidery and real fillet lace to
enrich it. The empire waistline makes
it graceful. This is gathered in with
satin ribbon tied in a bow with long
loops and ends. The same models are
not less beautiful or less elegant when
made of fine cotton fabrics.

The Stories .rhey Tell. !

They say on Broadway that one Of
the best-known worllmen took con-
tract to write book for new comic
opera and received an advance fee Of
$1,000. When the time came to deliver
the work he had not writer line.
He did not want to admit this and he
did not want to give back the 81, 900.
So he went to bookstore, bought the
book of an old opera, had it typewrit-
ten and read 1t to his patron.

WORD WAS NOT UNFAMILIAR

Found Out Something About
That Parrot.

Gen. Charles r. Menoher, the brave
commander Of the brave Rainbow di-
vision, said at dinner in Washing
ton:
'rThe civilian who tries to teach a
soldier how to conduct a court-martial

tried to teach the parrot to talk.

about parrots, and guaranteed to teach

standing merit of the frock and wrap
shown in the picture above.
The little girl at the left wears a
dress Of black and white checked
wooden goods made with plated skirt
and wrap that inherits its style from
the spring season. 1t is coat and
cape combined with buttons for orna-

it is longer than the dress (Which is
knee lengthy in the cape portion, and
that the shorter coat is belted across
the front. There are very practical

The frock of cotton poplin at the
right might be made Of charnbray,

or in plain woods. 1t is a pretty de-
sign with bodice Stimulating Jacket

PEER DESERVED HIS VICTORY

Gypsy Smith, the noted evangelist,
said on his recent voyage from Liver

sThere are some men who can

there was a certain peer once who
rose to make his maiden speech--a
speech granting to all accused per-
sons the right to counsel-and when
he put his hand in his pocket for his
notes they weren't there. His notes
were lost.
"The peer gulped. He looked about
him wildly. He gulped again. Then
he said:

In certain lines of women's apparel
America has become independent of
other countries in the production Of
styles and materials In some things
we are conceded to excel, as in the
designing and making of tailored
suits and shoes. We have been driven
to depend upon ourselves in produc-

wear worn by women whose demands
are peculiarly American.
The proportion of undergarments

and crepe de chine gains on fine cot
ton materials every day. There are
several very good reasons for this,
but the main one is the Unborn love
Of luxurious clothes, especially In
the matter of undergarments, which is
rooted In the eternal feminine nature.
Hand stitching Is the hallmark of
elegance on undermuslins, so that
women who know how to sew for them
selves have a great advantage over
those who do not. But there is not
much hand sewing or hand embroidery
on manufactured underwear, which,

Choosing the Blouse.

Such simple thing as the choice
of blouse can easily make or mar

French a
Year Behind

1t is estimated by the French them
selves that they are at least wear
behind the British in the air. Only
the general outlines of their programme
have been thought out. Mixed squad
rons of sea and air planes are to be
sent to Madagascar, Indo- China, West
and Equatorial Africa and to the An
TILES. At present three bodies are
working with a special commission of
the French War Ministry for the de-
velopment of civil acronautics. They
arc CD an inter ministerial commits
sion in which the departments of Posts,
Telegraphs, Commerce and the Colo
MES are represented; ca a Comito d'Ac-
tlon composed of members of the Aero
Club of France, which viii keep the
French government informed of the
wishes of French manufacturers, and
CD a special committee of the French
Chamber OF Commerce.
The French are doing great deal
of perimentng with mail and pas
senger services between Paris and
Brussels, Paris and Bordeaux and
other cities in France. They are also
thinking of their great colonial empire
in Africa, and the air routes which

But the laying out of the great
aerial horseshoe does not complete
Britain's plans. She must connect it
up with London--a task which is much
more complicated from the stand coint
Of high politics because it involves
routes over the territory Of other ma
tions Of Europe. An aeronlane can
fly from London to Cairo via Gibraltar
without passing over foreign territory
or foreign territorial waters. But the
air route would be long and ardrome
bases at great distances apart in com
parison with the proposed land route Of
1000 miles across France, down the
length of Italy and Greece and across
the Mediterranean to Cairo. Such a
route necessitatcs an entente cordiale
with the nations of Western Europe,
and is one of the reasons why Great
Britain can never contemplate with
complaisance q loosening of the bonds
which now hold the Allies of Western
Europe together.

now will be the great lines of commu-
nication-the nerve system OF the
British Empire. At least, so the British
air experts at the peace conference
point out. The transatlantic fight
appeals to the imagination, but British
thought is much more seriously oc-
cupied with The flight from Cairo to
Melbourne.
The British air staff has for some
time been mapping out the stages of
aerial routes to Australia from Cairo
via Damascus, Karachi, Delphi, Cal
cutta, Singapore, Sumatra and Aus
tralia. Pioneer flights have been made
along this route as far as Karachi, Del
phi and Calcutta, and a good deal of
valuable information obtained. In
Australia the first aerodrome base will
probably be Normanton, on the Gulf
OF Carpentaria, the route leading
thence to Sydney, Wyndham and Mel
bourne, and at Melbourne branching
into two routes, one west to Perth and
the other south to Tasmania and east
to New Zealand. The significant fact
is that for practically the whole pro-
posed overland route from Cairo to
New Zealand the air bases will be on
British territory and the air routes
over British territory or the sea.
The same will be true of the pro-
posed overland route from Cairo to
Cape Town. The absas+ion of Ger
man East Africa by the t.Aon of South
Africa will make an all-British cor
rldor for an aeroplane the length of
Africa by way of Egypt, the Sudan,
British East Africa, British Central
Africa, German East Africa, Rhodesia,
the Transvaal and Cope Colony. There
is also an alternative water route be-
ing plotted which will follow the Nile.
