ChaIlls Popular.

Strange to say, challis is having a
rage such as no other fabric, not even
tricolette can boast. The soft wool
en- material is esteemed for the util-
| ity dress as developed in the silks.
The darker tones are likewise chosen
! in this, and collars cuffs and Sashes
of crisp white Organdie added for
| designs repeat those of the fine and
quaint English prints, and as the de-
mand is so great for them the selec-
ton of pleasing colors narrOws all the
| time.
Challis were popular 25 years ago,
but for some reason they have not
been much used except for little girls
dresses and dainty bOudOir gowns
Now, however, ones possession Of a
challis frOck stamps one as being well
aware of fashions latest whim. Hats
and paraSOls made Of the same materi-
al as the dress are much seen. The
challis hats, like the dresses, have
Organdie trimmings put on either in
little Fittings along the edge or that are
tied in a wide bow in front. The para
soils also repeat the organdie ruff
fes.
There is q certain occurrences and
quaintness about this old-true material
which suggests quiet country towns
and restful rural life, for though peo-
pie in large cities have for so long for
gotten challis, those who live in less
hurried and crowded places seem al
ways to keep a "best" challis for "oc-
casions." The shirt waist type of
dress lends itself we'll to the soft wool
en- fabric and embellished with the
organdie makes the whole pleasing.
There is no material which will an
swer better for a hurried mornings
motor trip into the city or informal
wear in the country, for challis will
not crush and rumple, and if one Sc
lects the cOlOrs carefully, one frock
will go through a summer satisfac-
torily.

DECLARES FRANCE
 CANNOT YIELD
Must Insist on Obtaining
 Adequate Preparation.

Paris. April 5.---F'rance cannot yield on the question of obtaining adequate reparation from Germany, the Matin declares iii an editorial today, deal- ing with the Peace Conference situa- ton regarding the French claims.
 ''On all territorial questions a sat isfactory solution is being reached, the Niatin says, but concerning the reparation question there is still a gap between what we are offered and what we justly demand. The French government will be 1Inyielding on this matter It canont sign a treaty which will mean bankruptcy of France"
 In leading up to this declaration the Afatin notes that the French. British and American people are still display ing the same friendly feelings as heretofore for each other.
 President Wilson and Premier Lloyd George are of the same heart as regards France the newspaper con- tinues nevertheless, different view points exist as to essential matters by reason of the impossibility of making the vanquished pay their debts with out imposing sacrifices upon them. Those who dream of peace by concil- iation fear that if asked to pay her debts Germany will protest and cheer ish plans for revenge. France replies that her people will be bankrupt if she does not obtain her due. The fear must be not so much the enemy resentment but what France will say if she is driven to ruin.''

SISTER MARIE
 ADOLPH DEAD
Was a Member of Order of Holy Ghost Driven Out of
 France by French Gov.

Sister Marie AdoIph of the Order of 1he Holy Ghost. died yesterday at St. NfichaeTs convent, 51 Milne street
 She was a native of France. and while there she joined the Order or the Holy Ghost, who were famous teachers in the very select private schools for young ladies.
 About l 6 years ago the order was expelled from France on account Of religious differences with the French government. They sought an asylum in this country and a number of the sisters came to Bridgeport and located in St. Augustine's parish.
 The lack of familiarity with the English language prevented the sis ters from continuing their work as teachers in this country and those who came to Bridgeport. with few exceptions, took up nursing as their life work.
 A large number of Bridgeport young ladies received instruction in French from Sister Marie Adolph. and most of them became very fluent takers in that language. They al! speak of her in tae highest terms. She was a very lovable, devout and hiehlv educated woman. The body will repose in the Convent chapel uu- I'll the time of the funeral which wiv be held Monday morning at St. Au- Eustine's church.
