it happened that the lieutenant was

abandonment. Lieutenant Cobb told
Justice Greenbaum he obtained employ

his wife to live there with him. After

The Super Bathroom

Many of the smart women in
Europe are using their bath
rooms as boudoirs. This is ar
ranged by cleverly concealed
bathtubs and basins, so that the
bath is really a lovely little
charmingly artificial boudoir
where plants grow, and rare
prints and rare bibelots give the
room delicate charm.
This boudoir bathroom Au
Quatriemae begins by having a
peach colored marbleized floor
and background Of pale cream
walls. The nucleus of this room
is wonderful old Louis XIV
bath in the form of a carved
walnut chaise-longue in which a
copper tub is concealed.
Blue rubberized taffeta cur
tains and pink underdraperies
are held by two tiny antique Gu
pids to form an amusing canopy
over this chaise-longue. Another
lovely thing in the room is a
Louis XVI poudreuse of fruit
wood, beautifully fitted with mir
ror and small compartments and
containing the original perfume
bottles and ointment-pots.
An old French corner cup
board painted blue and gold con-
tains pitchers and basins, and old
bottles Of blue glass. Four ex-
quisite Louis XVI armchairs with
the original paint and uphol
stored in blue and gray toile de
5ouy repeat the blue note.
Painted hat-boxes, old tinsel
pictures, and painted Louis XVI
jardinieres holding growing
plants add to the gay, charm
lngly artificial atmosphere of
this very feminine little room.
The other French rooms con-
tain many rare and lovely things.
Small old tables of exceptional
beauty and also some remark
aDlc modern reproductions.
A Louis XIV drop-leaf dining
table in the sale a manger is
particularly noteworthy.
Old candlesticks, wonderful
old water-fountain, Sevres jar
dinieres, tinsel pictures and
French pastels, and Dutch cut
paper pictures are some of the
interesting small decorative OBJ
jects in these rooms.

ANTIQUES
from, France
AU QUATRIEME

Five little rooms furnished
in beautiful French antiques
are opened today Au Quat-
raen1e.
The assembling of this col
lection is the result of the
past two months searching
of Europe for French an
tiques by Au Quatrieme's
collectors.
The five rooms-a boudoir,
salon, dining-room, library,
and a super-bath-room, are
as enchantingly lovely as ex-
quisite antique French fur
niture and bibelots, precious
bits of brocade, rare paint
ings, and screens, arranged
by a connoisseur of these
things, can make them.

proved it from the first weeks in
March so many years ago.
To re-state our purpose then
IN plain, orderly manner
First-To create an agreeable
place to which people could
come as often as they pleased
to visit and enjoy without
being made to feel that they
should purchase something.
Second-To provide the largest,
most complete assortment of
trustworthy merchandise and
by greatly augmented sales to
offer the lower and lowest
prices.
7hird-To grant the privilege of
return of unwanted uninjured
purchases and instant return
of cash paid without a ques-
tion. (Somewhat changed un-

past two years.
Fourth-To set one price without

Sixth-To introduce new cour-

shopping.
Scpenth-To ask condolences of
purchasers, with assurances of

dividual charges will not satisfy
the public and will not tell the
story.
Things have come to such a
point that the entire nation is
demanding to know what the
"Y" really did. 1t wants to know
the whole truth. DR.. Keppel
stated positively that the "ma-
chinery" was there to do the
job: Now the newspapers, the
representatives of the people in
matters of this kind, which de-
mand public investigation, have
the means of arriving at the
facts in the case.
Newspapers always like to
have public official to handle a
question of this sort, and prefer
not to furnish the reporters to
ferret out the facts, largely be-
cause they do not like to be
placed in the position of hound
ing" an organization. and, sec
ondly, because an official places
his stamp of authority on such "a
matter and assures public conf
dence.
Fair-minded soldiers, who are
not familiar with the reasons,
such as ocean-freight charges,
which have been given as the
cause of high prices in the cam
teens, really want to know from
high Army officers what they
think of these things. They
look to their leaders for advice.
They realize that the: private is
not in a position generally to
ascertain the. fairness of price
conditions. =
When one travels about the
country and finds everywhere a
feeling that the "Y" has either
been misrepresented or proven a
failure it is about time for pub
lie investigation which. will go
ito the very bottom" The War
Department should do the Job
and the newspapers should
print the story in full, no matter
whether it is praise or blame.
The people do not want a SEN
sation, but they want the truth,
and "Y" men feel the same way.

retary. became excited and threatened
to oppose the lieutenant, but to no
avail. The officer insisted that he
would make trouble for the conductor
and the railroad unless the health Of
the soldiers was properly protected by
an adequate amount of heat in the
cars
"I shall tie up the trains on both
tracks," said the officer, "all night un-
less you stop this train and make the
necessary repairs"
The result was that the conductor
had to put out a red rocket from the
rear of the train in order to attract
the attention of the engineer, as the
regular cord leading to the engine was
broken. This aroused the interest of
the engineer. and the train was
stopped for repairs.

mrs. SEYMOUR GOES
TO WEST COAST
Will Take Charge of "Y. W." at
~ Camp Lewis-Mrs. Burr
New Head Here.


Mrs. S. c. Seymour has been trans
ferred from Meade and will assume
charge of the Y. w. c. A. hostess
house in Camp Lewis, American
Lakes. Wash. She left Tuesday for
her new post, and was succeeded by
Mrs. Edward Burr, who served as re-
ceiving hostess before becoming al
rectress.' =
Genuine regret was expressed at the
departure of Mrs Seymour. because it
was realized that she had filed a
position which was difficult to occupy,
especially in these times of constant
changes. She was a splendid organ
izer, and it was for that reason that
she was chosen to go to Lewis.
May Go to Russia.
1t is likely that Mrs. Seymour will
go from Camp Lewis to Russia, as the
~. wis sending a considerable num-
Der. OF secretaries to that. country.
Her selection for that Undertaking is
being generally recommended.
Mrs. Burr, who is we'll known as the
wife OF Brig. Gen. Burr of the 37th
Division in France, and as one of the
most popular ladies who has served
in the hostess house, will continue to
manage affairs here along similar
lines to those of Mrs. Seymour.
The hostess house policy is entirely
different from what it was at the be-
ginning of the war. 1t is more now
a place of resort and recreation for
soldiers than it Is for soldiers woman
friends. Formerly women were cater
ed to primarily, but a broader view
OF the work was; taken as time went

THE "Y" AND DIR. KEPPEL.

In the several statements is
sued by DR.. John R. Mott, heae
of the war work council of the
"Y," anent the complaints ot
soldiers in relation to ''Y" work
in France, it has been declared
that "the War Department
would be asked to investigate
the several charges that had
been filed with. it for inquiry"
This policy is one which meets
with approval from the man who
gave his money to the "Y" with
the understanding that a good
job was to be done for the SOL
der at the front who was offer
ing, if need be, his life for the
protection of the United States.
This same man who gave his
money for that purpose would
like to look DIR. Mott squarely
iii the face, if he had the chance,
and ask him to call for a search
ing inquiry of the entire work
of the association in France and
America by the same agency,
namely the War Department,
which is now handling the sew
eral individual complaints"
1t is not generally known that
DIR. F. F. Keppel, third assistant
secretary of war, has already
started the investigation for
which DR.. Mott asked. He
cabled Gen. Pershing about the
matter and Gen. Brewer, inspec-
tor general in France, was ap-
pointed to head the inquiry. Dr..
Keppel stated that no special
commission would be named as
the machinery" was already in
existence and only needed to be
given the order to act.
The American people want
Gen. Brewer to tell the whole
story about the "Y." Unques-
tionably the presence of 5000
men in the associations service
in Europe was a force which
performed something, either
good.or bad. But the mere af-
firmation or denial by Gen.

my treatment. and he said that the
berth would be made up after we had
reached certain point. / said that
L was tired and did not care to wait.
The conductor replied, oh, you're
only soldier, you know. and the
porter has to look out first for his
dimes and nickels. He cannot make
up your bed now, and there is no way
IN which he can be made to do it,
Il said, You come with me and I'll
show you how it can be done He
said 1t was impossible, and I started
ahead, remarking that it would be a
very simple matter, and that 1 had
paiu for my berth and would be en-
titled to service just as much as was
anybody else He followed and
grumbled and told him that I did
not intend to be insulted by a f1unky
while was in the uniform of the
United States Army, and, further
more, that L had already put him in
the same class with the negro porter"
Conductor Pleaded for Mercy.
The sergeant major threatened to
"clean up" the porter "poste haste"
and while the conductor looked on the
perth was made up, but amid MANY
monosyiiaDic mutterings. When the
sergeant major left the train in the
morning he was entreated by the con-
ductor not to report the incident. but
he took the number of the car and
made the report at once to the proper
authority. gaining a promise that the
matter would be investigated imme-
diately. Incidentally, the porter missed
a nice half-dollar Tip" which the
sergeant major had ready for him.
1t is interesting to note that the
sergeant major. whose poetry has
pleased thousands of readers of
Trench and Camp throughout the c6un-
try, has served several times in the
Army, beginning in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war; when he was a captain of
National Guard, seeing service In
Cuba. Later on he enlisted again and
obtained a lieutenancy in the 7th
Regulars, but resigned once more to
go back to civil life. He enlisted for
the world war and has risen steadily
since coming to Meade last August
with the famous SD Infantry, when
he was a corporal.
