There was a discussion OF old John
Barleycorn by q Sunday school debat-
ing society connected with an East
Washington church. JAMES z.
GREEN, an oId-timer seeking diver
sion for the evening. visited the hall
TO listen to the debate. The subject
was. What Has John Barleycorn
Done for Me?'
Green listened attentively TO the
youthful debaters as they told of the
many disasters John Barleycorn had
inflicted upon humanity. The last
speaker of the evening, a slender
youth with his first downy mustache.
had invited a man past middle life
who was known for years in the Navy
Yard section as a "souse" The yener-
able addict heard all the speaker said
about the home-wreclxing, heart
breaking career OF old John, and as a
climax pointed to the "souse" and
said:
Now I am going to ask my friend.
Mr.. -. what has John Bsrieycorn
done for him"
To the surprise of the audience the
old ''souse" arose and without bat
ting sn eye, began:
Friends, II is true John Barleycorn

with the revival Of three-piece suih
blousemakers have come into their
own again and are showing waists
more beautiful than any we have
ever seen before; in fact, many Of
them are almost as elaborate Dc

however, is usually in the form Of
trimming as the blouses themselvss
are cut In q much simpler WY
than they were heretofore owing
to the fact that they slip over
the head, are finished at the waist
line and have very short sleeves cut
in Japanese fashion as part Of tAs

Is no note Of color except this big

The heart Of the ribbon manufac-

French dressmakers. who make Law

tracing attention to the backs Of
dresses but for ruches and all sorts
Of trimmings both pleated and plain.
From the subtly simple frocks that
make French women look like little
girls, with their short skirts and
straight lines falling over uncorseted
figures, there almost invariably Aut-
ters little ribbon sash. To NEST
