Poland, having been taken off the
map by a treaty. is now to be put
back again by another treaty. In the
latter part of the fourteenth century
Poland was the dominant power in east
ern Europe. Her dominion extended
from the Baltic to the Dnieper and
pressed down upon Austria to the
south, while Red Russia. White Rus
sia, Black Russia and the Ukraine
were hers. Prussia was little state
huddled up in corner on the Baltic,
and surrounded on the other sides by
Poland. Courlnnd and Livonia We're
Polish provinces. The Prussians or
Borussians, were an idolatrous tribe
who INDUCED in human sacrifices and
Poland called in the Teutonic knights
to subdue them.
The Teutonic knights subdued the
Borussians, but they turned Prussia
into militant little state which be-
gan at once wars TO increase its ter
ritory. A Hohenzollern had himself
elected head of the Teutonic knights
and thus began the house of Hohen-
zollern, and that power destined to
have such large share In the down
fall of Poland and to be such men
ace to the world, sprung from race
If savages led by an adventurer.
AS late as 1868, when the American
colonies were already settled common
wealths, Poland was so powerful that
her king, John Sobieski, marching with
Polish army, relieved the siege of
Vienna and saved Europe from being
overrun by the Turk.
Dynasty Came to an End.
With the death of Sigismund Angus
tus in 1872, the dynasty of the old
kings came to an end and Poland
adopted a system of elective kings. and
new constitution which worked out
badly and contributed to the downfall
Of the nation. The Polish diet elected
the king. 1t consisted of chamber
Of peers and house of representa-
lives of the lesser mobiles. The diet
sat only six weeks each year and its
decisions were obliged to be unani-
nous to be effective. Also there was
4 recognized right of any mobiles con-
sederating together to enforce their
will by the power of arms. Naturally
the result was discord and sometimes
civil war. Russia, the growing Prus-
sia and Austria fOstered these internal
iisagreements with hungry looks on
Polish territory.

BeautifuI-From a Distance.
Apart from these few examples of
an earlier period, the Bagdad we know
today is of the seventeenth or eight
eenth and succeeding centuries, which
in terms of architecture is cOmparn-
lively modern. Judged In this light
Bagdad is not disappointing. 1t is,
particularly for a MesopOtamian town,
quite n delightful place. From the dis
tance 1t presents n most attractive pic
ture. From miles away in the desert
one can see the green mass of Bagdnd
floating in the atmosphere and as one
approaches nearer along the dreary,
dusty track, its colored domes and
gilded minarets can be distinguished
showing above the palms and trees.

beautiful capes in the style of that
shown at the right of the picture.
Nearly all of these are in the natural
taupe color of the feathers, but in os-
trich capes and boas there is often a
mixture of white and natural flues.
Ruffs made of malines in very full
plaits and ruffs made of loops of wide
satin ribbon are among old acquaint-
ances that find themselves returned to
favor, now that everything in neckwear
proves TO be of interest. They nre not
at all difficult to make. the plaits or
loops are simply stitched on to band
that lies about the neck, and they fas-
ten with ties of narrow satin ribbon.
Small chokers and other small neck
pieces in furs appear to have displaced
larger neckpieces and capes for sum

finished at the ends with fringe, prove
themselves chic novelty on women
who know how 20 wear them well.
