first of February. An expert golfer
wore a white skirt that reached to her
ankle and was slashed at the sides to
show white wooden stockings
Z There were other golf skirts in black
and white checks that reached to the
ankles. and which were SO narrow that
the wearer could not possibly have
walked on the links unless there was
a tapping seam at the side, unfastened
for ten inches in order to give freedom
of movement.
These costumes did not create SEN
sation in the South among the average
public, but the observer saw in them
a significant change.
Skirt Fastens to Blouse.
The Paris sport suit, which has been
made by a man who never went in
for sport clothes before, has its narrow
slashed skirt buttoned at the hips to
a deep straight blouse.
The sketch shows the gown in its
entirety. 1t is of tan and white silk
trio olette. The long bodice which runs
to the hips is made of the two ma
terials and the edges of the white part
are embroidered with tan silk threads.
1t is a curious gown. The skirt
is so narrow that it fits like a glove
in the back. There are no gathers
and it is slashed at each side to give
ease of movement.
Inc bodice has short sleeves. AMI a
half low neck with turnover collar
What are VT going to do about those
persistent short sleeves?

THEY TAKE NO ADVICE
Soldiers Organize To Mix in Politics
Despite Urging of Wood.

Chicago. March 25.-Organization
of a council of soldiers, sailors and
marines" to take active part in Chi
cago politics went forward here today
in spite of advice given its leaders by
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood that they
avoid such organizations.
At a meeting last night the 'coun-
cil'' decided to raise a fund of $500
for it's budget. A membership of 200
is claimed.
The council was organized at the
instance of the new Chicago Labor
party. Party leaders denied that Cen
eral Wood had ordered the council
disbanded.
General Wood has no authority to
order discharged men to organize or
not to organize said Morton l.. John
son, secretary of the Labor party. 81
advised the men to go ahead because
we want to find them jobs and that is
what the organization is for"
At army headquarters it was stated
General Wood had invited some of the
leaders in and given them some IA
therly advi :e'' but had not issued "or-
ders'' to abandon the council.

THE HOUSEHOLD
When You Cook for Many.

Here are some rules for providing
Tor large numbers that may be of
value to the woman who is on the
refreshment committee of the next
large gathering. In making sand
wiches you should allow for every
hundred people two hams. or twenty
five pounds of beef, or five cold
tongues sliced thin, or a dozen chick
ems, according to the sort of sand
witches you intend to provide. OF
course, if you are to serve ham sand
wiches and chicken sandwiches you
will need. just half the amounts of
each of these meats 1...
For chicken salad for picnic you
may just as well economic by using
veal or lamb with the chicken. To
make salad of this sort for a hundred
people you will need five medium
sized chickens and ten pounds of veal
or lamb.
In planning the cake to be provided
remember that a ten-inch loaf cake

IS not also to be a supply of cookies
you will need a dozen loaf cakes, Civ
ing two hundred and sixteen pieces,

slices for waste or crumbling

that can be placed inside a large pan
OF water, altho a full hour should be
allowed for cooking. To make exactly
one cup each for one hundred people
you will need a pound of cocoa, thir-
teen quarts of milk and thirteen
quarts of water. Mix the whole
amount of cocoa with enough cold
water to make a paste, and be sure
1t is perfectly smooth. Heat the milk

FATHER is NOT LIABLE
DR.. w. ID. Storrs Loses His Case
Against j. p. Slaughter.

A demurrer filed by the defendant
in the case in which DR.. w. D. Storrs
asked $152 damages from ]. p.
Slaughter as the result of a collision
between the Storrs machine and a car
driven by Slaughter's daughter, was
sustained Monday in the second divi-
sion of the district court by Judge
George H. Whitcomb on the ground
that Slaughter was not liable for the
damages alleged to have been in
flicted by an adult child.
The trial of the suit brought by the
Kansas Free Fair association against
the Georgia Casualty company was
also begun, but no decision rendered.
The fair association was Unidentified
with this concern at the time of the
automobile accident in 1915, and
claims TO have paid notes on judg-
ments for damages to the amount of
$3,400. The casualty company re-
fuses to reimburse the plaintiff on the
ground that notes instead of cash were
paid by the association.

PARIS PAPERS ANGRY
Say Peace Conference Has Left 30
BIunder Unmade.


Paris, March 25.-The decision of
the supreme council of the peace con-
ference to allow nothing to be pub
lished regarding its proceedings but
the official communique, has aroused
the indignation of the Paris press
Those newspapers whose habit it is to
comment upon foreign affairs con-
denim the action in strong terms. The
others follow the communique with
a few sarcastic observations. Raymond
Recoly, for instance, writes in the
Figaro: when the situation is so
disquieting, at a moment when the
allied governments who, having left
no blunder unmade are more than ever
in need of the support of public opin-
ion. they raise a regular Chinese wall
between the public and themselves"
The Matin says of the decision: at
is not for us to judge the method,
which is likely to be gravely danger
Gus, still further adding to the srow-
ing anxiety in the entente countries. u
The nature of the "PertinaX'
article in the Echo de Paris may be
sufficiently described by its caption
which reads: The Council of Ten
Goes Underground"

decided to drape its wounded dignity

Suit, the Skirt of Which Fits Like

New York.-There is not an inch
more of material in the new French
gowns than there has been since last
summer In truth, the observer thinks
there is less than has ever been known
in the history of civilized fashions.
There was rumor from over the
water that France was to adopt the
American style of long skirts. but
there is no evidence of this fact. There
are skirts that are only five inches be-
low the knees, and we are told that
the best French matrons have worn
them without seeming realization of
their bad taste.
Skirts ten inches from the ground
are common; twelve and fourteen
inches from the floor are frequent In
addition to the shortness there is a
scantiness that is appalling to the con-

servatives. The skirts are cut on the
old sheath pattern, which caused a
sensation in the world of women and
among their critics about eight years
ago. This skirt has gone in and out
of fashion. 1t is veritable comet. 1t
looks a tho the designers have thrown
it on the market whenever they were
in doubt as to what change should be
made in the styles.
1t is a deplorable skirt for the stout;
it is a sensational skirt for the slim.
There is no one to say that it will
not rule in America, for we have ac-
cepted it every time that it has come
over the horizon. 1t is not new this

even before then, and it has been as
