FOOLED BY FINE FEATHERS
Eastern Potentate Evidently Unaecus-
toned to Seeing Slunkys With
So Much Gold Lace.

The gorgeous uniforms of the digni-
fed English servants who always are
in attendance at all official receptions
have been the rocks upon which the
pride of more than one foreigner has
been wrecked. The initiated is never
sure as he approaches one of these
impassivefaced functionaries whether
the latter is field marshal or a foot
man. Witness the discontinue of his
highness Prince Feisal, son of the king
Of Hedjaz, at the great reception In
the guildhal to England's returning
hero Field Marshal Viscount Allenby.
The Arabian prince, clad in his Of
fetal robes of oriental design, was one
of the many famous men at the guild
hall. Always punctilious In the ex-
IRENE, his highness made his way into
the ancient hall. bowling to right and
left as he met great soldiers and
statesmen of the country.
He neared one, who, wearing won
derful raiment adorned with yards of
heavy gold lace, appeared to be great
err than them all. The prince bowed
deeply-to the lord mayors flunky.

VAssAR GIRLS DRESS DOLLS
Students at Famous College Revive
Old Custom for the Benefit of
Neighborhood Children.

People who have been brought up
to believe that college girls are in
evitably of masculine type might be
interested to know that the students
at Vassar college are at present in the
midst of a embarrassing contest. Nor
is this contest n new event at Vassar.
Every year shortly before Thanksgiv-
ing 600 dolls are bought by the Chris
tian association and distributed
among the students, to be dressed In
time for Christmas for the children OF
the surrounding neighborhood. At an
appointed time the dolls are assem-
bled by their respective owners and
placed row o. row for inspection.
The best-dressed doll is selected and
her owner rewarded with prize.
This custom has been observed at
Vassar for many years. For the last
two years, however. 1t has been omit
ted, owing to the exigencies of war
work. But now that those services
are not needed the work has been
taken up again with an added inter
est and enthusiasm.

But why are you dressed like lit

Because my father don't know any

Suddenly voice was heard, full Of

"To be able to sing or write may be
all right, Miss Aiken, but I think to

writing the best sellers ever written"
added Miss HOLSTER.

Hollister donned her coat and left the

How the Problem of Storing a Barrel

A New York couple recently re-
ceived barrel of fine apples from q

The tangled situation in Russia, Po-
land and the Baltic countries is still
more complicated by dispatches that
show Denikine is being fought to a
standstill by the Ukralnians, Poles
and Jews; that the bolsheviki are
either winning or losing ground ac-
cording to the source of the news /;
that Colonel Bermondt and his Ger
man army in the Baltic region were
fighting for Denikine and Kolchak and
against the bolshevikl. 1t would take
a Philadelphia lawyer to figure out
the truth concerning that part of the
world.
Esthonia and Lithuania began a con-
ference with the Russian soviet govern
ment on Thursday at Dorpat and It
was believed truce would result.
Finnish and Lettish delegates attend

| armistice, Is largely bunk" Mr.. Polk
has let the Germans know definitely
that any differences In America con-
corning the treaty cannot be construed
to their benefit.
The American delegates planned to
return home because they felt that
such matters as were being handled
by the supreme council should be
handled by the state departments Of
the various nations. The British and
French urged that their departure be
delayed FOR they considered the situa-
ton as threatening In view Of the ugly
temper shown by the Germans and
felt that the armed assistance OF
America might still be needed. A
Paris dispatch says secret advlces
from Germany state that more than
half n million German soldiers still
are under arms-a force exceeding
the combined British and French
forces not yet demobilized.
The American, French and British
peace commissioners last week formu-
lated a compromise agreement on the
Adriatic question which was present
ed TO Italy for consideration and which
It was confidently expected would sat
isfy the Italians and all other parties
to the dispute. A dispatch from Rome
said Italian regulars would occupy
Fume and all the territory given to
Italy by the treaty of London, and
that Captain D'Annunzlo's volunteer
troops would withdraw.
Unless some solution for Italy's
troubles IS found, there Is a good pros
pect of revolution there. When par
lament assembled the Socialist depu-
ties refused to rise on the entrance Of
the king or to take the oath in his
presence. Next a general strike was
started in several large cities. and
though this did not last long it was
accompanied by disorders that as
sumed revolutionary aspects. In Rome,
Turin and Milan there were serious
riots.
