Main Object of Lea que.

The main object of this league, be-
sides providing for the welfare OF the
regions liberated from Turkish
tyranny and safeguarding the new
free states which are to arise, Will be
to prevent the outbreak of future
wars. To do this some method of
settling disputes other than war must
be provided. and that. we are all
agreed. must be found in the methods
of arbitra ton and Cancellation, These
methods mast be studied and organ
izations for undertaking them mus,
be provided.
1T may be impossible for want OF
time to settle at the conference the
details of these methods and the
structure of these organiza tons. but
it Is essential that beginning should
be made and solid founda tons laid be-
fore the conference separates.
There is an increased volume of
feeling in Great Britain supporting
this idea and we trust that the Ameri-
can people, eminentiy peace-lovins, is
overwhelmingly of the same opinion
and that both the British and American
delegations win have the weight Of
their two countries behind them.
Committee May Adjust Details.
Such details as the conference may
not have time to settle might be re-
mitted to a strong international COM
mittee drawn from the four powers
the United States. Great Britain
France and Italy-with perhaps some
experts from neutral countries, who
could draw out scheme in detail and
submit 1t to meeting of the confer

to be held later in the year Such
committee or another committee would
also consider urgent questions of eco
nomic settlement, financial settlement
and reduction of ornaments. But at

MOId kinn ColeW

The first reference to "Old King
Cole" the merry old soul' of the IA
nous nursery rhyme, was made in a
book written by DR.. William King, who
was born in 1888. 1t is probable that
the song was composed in the seven
teenth century, although some investi-
gators think it much older. Ha1liweIl
Identifies the merry monarch with
Cole or Coel, a semi-mythical king Of
Britain who is supposed to have
reigned in the third century. The Scots
also have an "Old King Cou1," said
to have lived in the fifth century.
Freeman and other historians say a
King Cole ruled Britain in the sixth
century. There are many who assert
that the reference to the pipe indicates
that Old King Cole lived at "a period
after Raleigh had introduced tobacco
into Europe, but this does not neces-
sarily follow, as pipe might mean q

COMBINE COLLAR AND GlRDLE
Attractive Feature OF a Frock That
Meets With Favor Among
Many Women.

Navy blue and white organdie COM
bined with bright-toned blue and red
embroidery fashions an unusual little
frock. It's very attractive feature is a
high surplice collar, which is pro-
longed into a girdle and fluffy sash
bow of navy blue organdie. This
comes also in combinations of brown
or rose with white organdie.
Finer than calico but invested with
all the Quaintness and charm Of that
material are the new English prints
&c the type which one frock repre-
sents. Almost any Of our grandmoth-
ers might have worn just such a dress
with it's square neck and elbow
sleeves, but the modern young woman
who wears this frock does not look In
the least like anybody's grandmother.
Bands Of plain white braid emphasize
the simplicity of the design and the
material, and a band and bow Of con-
trasting ribbon velvet is tied over the
print sash. The flower design comes
both in rose and in blue.

Example of How the Tourist Is Vic
timized When He Makes Pur-
chases in Foreign Cities.

Some years before the war a resi-
dent of New York vOyaged to Venice.
Among his fellow passengers at sea
was a travelling salesman, whom he
got to know quite well. What the
New York man liked about the sales
man was that he did not "talk shop"
He had not even told his steamship
acquaintance what manner Of goods
he handled.
The day after they arrived in Venice
the salesman went out on business, his
steamship companion sightseeing.
Among other places the latter visited
was a fascinating antiquarian shop.
Prices were steep, but what of that?
He wanted something to take back
to show "the folks at home" that he
had really been in Venice. Finally he
settled on bit of Venetian glass, a
square of gold-embroidered Venetian
cut velvet in a furnished gilt frame,
and a silver-handled dagger engraved
with the arms Of one of the doges. In
the evening at the hotel he displayed
them, not without a feeling Of pride,
to the travelling salesman.
"My friend" said the latter, "you've
been very decent to me, and now I'll
do you a good turn. Say, but your

TO ANKLE
American Ideas Have Won Over
Those of Paris.
English Leaders Of Fashion Refuse to
Wear the Excessively Short De.
sign Sent From France-New-
est Sleeves and Shoes.

It's the most amusing thing I'm the
world to watch what Is happening in
the fashion world in London. A
few weeks ago word came that in New
York women were wearing long tubu-
Var skirts, way down to their ankles
and as tight as pipe. At the very
same minute in Paris the skirts only
ventured a miserable half dozen
inches below the knees. What was
to be done? London hesitated a week
or so. Paquin and Lanvin brought
over staggering creations that looked
as If they were intended for chill
dren's fancy dress parties and SO
skimp and short that no wel1-devel-
oped British female could possibly get
inside. So Just naturally the Eng
nsh turned to our New York mode
end now it's the rarest possible thing
to see a dress in Bond street or in
the park that is cut above ankle
length.
French dressmakers are astonished,
indeed they will not acknowledge that
American fashion is actually Compel
ing with French. They shrug their
shoulders and adjust their dresses to
suit their patrons over there and pre-
tend that they invented the idea them
selves.
But the French have their way in
sleeves, for one thing it's no way at
all, for there aren't any. On the
street, In the house in the evening,
you certainly can't tell by the sleeves
what sort Of a dress you are looking
ut. The only garment that has
sleeves is a negligee or tea frock,
and these have long wings that trail
along the floor. It's great pity, too,
the lack of sleeves, because it's not
one woman In a hundred that can
boast a dimpled elbow, and the sights
Of red and unlovely arms that are ex-
posed every day are getting on peo-
pies nerves.
Everybody wears brocaded shoes.
Colors match the dress or suit and
stockings are usually a very pale
shade Of the same color, or flesh, and
so thin that they look like nothing at
all. There Is hardly any upper to the
latest shoes, really they are sandals
with tiny strap and a beaded or
jeweled buckle to clasp.
