VARIED PLEATS IN NEW FROCKS

upon the public this season had Its
source in the desire to raise the price
Of frocks. You see, more material
was needed for pleats, and longer
skirts were needed for these lines,
and material costs money, and. there
fore. the consumer must pay the price.
Everything that is expensive in Paris
is put off on the American and their
lavish way of substituting dollars for
sous during their first years residence
in France, a lavishness that acted as
a boomerang, by the. way. and made
them bitter and furious when it hit
them in the face. The French work.
ing people blame their discomfort with
prices on the Americans: the rich
French say they can no longer live on
their incomes. because of the Ameri-
cans. And now there are those who
| insist that the present price of clothes
| in France is due to the Americans. be-
cause their women wanted longer and
| wider skirts than the French wore
| The French dressmakers made such
skirts the fashion and raised their
prices. This may be the deep-lying

Capt. Peck learned that in 1910 the
boys father died and the mother re-
married. Early In 1914 the stepfather
George Fringer. took the boy from
Chicago to Germany. Then came the
war. The stepfather entered the Ger

the boy made his home with relatives
in Berlin. and then drifted to coblens
where he attached himself to one OF
the regiments. The doughboys helped
him in writing . letter to his mother
who responded immediately. urging
him to come back 10 her At once.
When tho regiment left for Amer.
lea several unsuccessful efforts were
made by his soldier friends to snug

bureau. and has secured proofs OF

You'll fnd in life as sure as fate
That fear most always leads to hate.
You'll seldom hnd love where fear
is. instead you'll almost always ind
hate. That was the case in the Green
Forest when Terror the Goshawk
came down from the Far North. There
was not one OF the little people IN
feathers and fur smaller than Reddy
Fox who did not fear. Terror, and one
and all hated him as they hated few
others. Even Jimmy Skunk feared
Terror, for he knew that II Terror
should md him when no other food
was to be found he would not hesi-
tate to kill him.
But it was not only those who
feared Terror who hated him. There
were others too big to fear him who
nevertheless hated him. and one OF
these was Reddy Fox. Reddy hated
him because he interfered with Red
dy's hunting. You, see Terror likes
the very same things Reddy does.
from the Far North Reddy had had
fairly good hunting. That is to say,
he had managed to get enough to
eat. though he seldom had a full

one morning he did go over to the

he felt sure that he would be able
to get a good breakfast.

than q plump grouse" So. with pleas

dy entered the Green Forest and at
once began to hunt as no one knows
better how to do than Reddy Fox.
But though he hunted and hunted
with all the cleverness and skill which
he possesses he found not so much as
a trace of any one who would fur
nish him with a breakfast. The Green
Forest seemed to be deserted. 1t was

The Care of Glass.

The phrase clear as crystal gem
orally suggests sparkling, glowing
| c1earness. Sometimes it indicates
| only murky blue-gray fogginess.
This is not due to the original color
of the glass, but is due rather to the
care the glass receives.
Glass should always be washed in
fresh warm water and suds from a
pure soap. It should then be rinsed
in clear warm water and then thor
oughly dried with a clean towel.
II the glass is greasy-like a glass
| that has held milk or a glass bowl
that has held ice cream-it should be
rinsed before washing in cool water.
Cut glass sometimes needs to be
washed with greater thoroughness
than usual A vinegar bottle, for in
stance, Is sometimes used for a long
time without being washed, and the
crevices in the cutting become marked
with dirt. In such cases it Is neces-
sary to use a soft brush on the glass;
It can be dried in a bed Of sawdust,
which should be left about it for sew
eral hours. This sawdust method dries
all the creases and crevices Of the
glass and turns it out in good con-
dition.
Cut glass must always be tempered
to cold and heat. If it is to be put in
hot water to be washed it must first
be rinsed in warm water and its tenn
perature gradually raised. In the same
way it must be brought up to the tenn
perature Of anything hot which is to
be served in it. or down to the tenn
perature Of ice cream or any other
cold food served in it. Cut glass il
unusually brittle. more 50 than any
other sort Of glass.
When two tumblers that you are
washing stick together tap them with

they will soon come apart. II stop

stopper.
Occasionally q little ammonia in the
water in which thee glass Is washed
gives good results. It cleanses the

PARIS, September 15.-One would
like to take an inventory Of, the diff
ferent kinds of machines that must
be used for making the various pleats
that dent the surfaces of frocks. From
a plain surface to a crink1ed surface
is the step made by fashion. Pleats
took upon themselves strange ways;
they decided to attract attention to
themselves: they desired to be ir-
regular and unconventional. 1T is not
possible to make such pleats as dis
port themselves in gowns by anything
but machines, and, therefore, the cost
of the labor should not be included in
the frock, but one has suspicion
that it is included, unless the dress
maker explains that the rise in the
price is due to the amount of material
consumed by the pleats. There are
cynics who declare that the entire
fashion for pleating that was sprung

DREW NO STRONG HYPOCRITE
Absence of Such a Dominating Char
acter From Shakespeare's Pages
Explained by English Novelist.

Material for discussion among those
who more or less know their Shake
speare has been provided by Sir Wal
ter Raleigh's suggestion on the lecture
platform that Shakespeare created no
complete and carefully drawn figure
of a hypocrite because the dramatist
had had a free and happy childhood.
ut is the child" says Sir Walter, ''who
sees hypocrites = and so, as one fol-
lows the argument at second hand IN
the column of newspaper, Dickens,
who had harsher childhood, was
more impressed by hypocrisy, and later
wrote about hypOcrites. One suspects,
however, that there may be readers
who will deny that Shakespeare failed
to include the hypocrite in his remark
able gallery of dramatic portraits.
Hvpocrisy certainly figures; one has
only to recall the behavior of Gloster
or Iago to find the characteristic. but
Sir Walter 10 doubt has ground for
his conviction that the plays contain
no figure dominated by it.
