Pretty Styles in Canes

TO the Editor Of IVoman's Pdoe:
Dear Madam-Can you please tell me
what is the latest style of the capes (I
do not like the capes with the jackets)
and plan very nice dress for Sunday :?
S. T.
There are so many different styles in
capes that no one style can quite be
called the latest. There are some that
are gathered on to yoke which reaches
to the shoulders and has wide, rolling
|collar. Others have the yoke and Z
long silk scarf or throw instead of
| the collar. Then there are the capes
with cuffs made in the side for the
arms to come through, and the straight
military ones with shoulder seam anu
4 standing collar. 1t all depends on
your own taste. The short cape that
slopes down in the back about the
newest. 1t all depends on your own
taste, for there are styles to suit al
most every taste.
1t is difficult for Inc to tell you what
| kind of Sunday dress to get, for do

Dear Cynthia am twenty -one years

BAD START BY THE GERMAN
CHIEF

Brockdorff- Rantzau made a bao
start when he replied to Clemenceau'
at is demanded from us that
we shall confess ourselves to be
the only ones guilty of the war.
Such a confession in my mouth
would be al lie.
The German government and the
German people, the one supporting
and urging the other on, alone were
guilty. This is the foundation of the
war and the capstone of peace. Nc
health can be regarded as returning
to Germany until the great fact is
admitted by Germany-not for the
satisfaction of her adversaries, fol
they already know the truth, but fol
the sake of Germany.
The evidence is familiar. There is
no need to review it. One day the
world was at peace and the next al
war. Germany, refusing all offers OF
conference and arbitration attacked

U. S. MARINE CORPS WANTS
MEN FOR FRANCE

As all troops have to be withdrawn
from France in the near future it is
necessary that men be sent there to
relieve them, so the United States
Marine Corps is going out to furnish
it's part of the men needed. Enlist
ments are now open to previous ser
vious service men to go to France and
to RETURN this fall to be discharged
These men will be transferred to
Quantico, Virginia, to be outfitted
then direct to France, where they will
stay until this coming fall, when all
troops will be withdrawn and dis
charged. This is a good chance foi
the men who have not seen France to
go across and see the country and re-
turn in about seven months to be dis
charged. Also enlistments are now
open to boys at the age of seventeen
for duty all over the world, in the air
on land or at sea, as the marines &C
wherever the big BATTLE ships go.
This is a good chance to see the world
and draw good pay while doing it, and
fit yourself for better position when
YOU get out. The nearest Marine

The Importance of Negligee


The Importance of Negligee
There is perhaps no other garment
in the trousseau that is more delight
full to make than the negligee. With
the negligee there are no conventions
to be regarded and all the longed-for
fancies may be expressed in the illu-
sive folds of the fairylike fabrics.
The black and white craze seems to
have been revived for the negligee.
This is trying contrast and the area
of spotting must be adjusted so as to
suit each individual When carefully
done, however, it is hard, indeed, to
find any combination or contrast that
will be as attractive as this.

her what all children want most-a

the Volland Company, Chicago. The

easily held by small hands.

Men may resort to rioting and
bloodshed to stand by their differ
ences in opinion about the kind of
world in which they want to live, but
when it comes to the Land of Make
Believe all people seem to have the
same opinion as to how it should be
constituted. If you doubt this una
nimity in pretending among different
tribes and peoples you have only to
read such books as Katherine Pyle's
"Toles of FOLKS and Fairies" and
"Wonder Tales Retold" (Little,
Brown & Co.. to see this fact quite
clearly. The ingredients Of these
tales, whether they originate among
North American Indians or Chinese,
are muck the same: but the order of
mixing is slightly different. AS it is
4 part of liberal education, however,
to know how other folks live, it is
good for children to read tales of
trolls in Scandinavia and genii in
Arabia. They offer an unconscious
lesson in geography, SO much de-
sired by educators to-day.
Similar stories told with more
consideration for the racial differ
ences of the peoples among whom
they originate, more colorful back
ground and even more fairy charm
are to be found in "TeU Ne q Story
Necer Heard Before" by Mary
Stewart (RevelO, to be recommends

and an unmistakable intimacy with

His discussion of the causes of the

Another book of great and stimu-

to the title for calling it a boys

suitable to girls reading and is
capable Of thrilling her to the same
extent as her brother. Isn't the
fashion going out of differentiating
between the sexes in the matter of
reading? The author has taken

Catching Up on
The Classics

The market is flooded with "juve-
nile literature"- pa horrible mis-
homer, for most of it is neither
literature nor should it be for juve-
niles. Children's time is as precious
as grown-ups', even more so, for thew
are children Tor only few years and
are groWn-ups for sometimes two
and three and four times as long.
And so it should not be wasted on
twaddle, which adds nothing to the
growing mind and so clogs it with
useless junk that it becomes inca
pable of good thinking and straight
action. There is no better time to
catch up on the classics than the
years between grammar school and
college, when there is a good deal of
time to read and the interest in
books is keen. This is the time for
"Treas,rc Island" (Scribner) and
"Captoins Courageous Century,
"Tro Years Before the Mast" (Mac-
mlllan), "I'om Bromn's School Doys"
(Macmillan), "Liftie Women" (Lit-
tie, Brown & Co.. and others by
Louisa Alcott.
The publishers are now, Offering
tempting bait in new editions, with
gorgeous illustrations, wide margins
and pleasing type and bindings. A
conspicuous example is "Gulliue,'s
Ira rels" (Macmillan), edited land,
no doubt, expurgated) by Padraic
Column and illustrated by Willy
Pogany.
Among the new holiday books of
this description is a new edition of
Malory's "Morte d'Arthu,.," abridged
by Alfred w. Pollard, of the British
Museum, and illustrated in color bv
Arthur Rackham. The stirring tales
OF King Arthur and his Knights of
The Round Table are among the
greatest stories ever told. Complete

and has presented tales to stir a
stone.
A narrative founded supposedly
on the diary Of a young girl of
Rheims is entitled "Vive La
France" by E. B. and A. A. Knipe
Century,. The story is moving
and simply told, although it's effect
iveness is somewhat destroyed by a
tendency to idealize and sentiment
talize. Still, the glorious struggle
and victory Of France will bear
retelling from many angles and
continue to inspire young and old.
When a youngster looks at you
and me he sizes us up, and he knows
instantly whether or not we are his
kind of person. If story is going
to hold young reader-especially a
boy reader-it should arrest his at
tention, no matter at what page he
opens it. Lay the scene in Belgium
during the war, realize that boys
have the gang spirit and make your
hero young American boy-and
you have real stuff for story-making.
This is what George Ethelbert
Walsh has done in "The Boy Vigi-
lautes IN Belgium" Century,. The
story is we'll written, clean cut and
moves along rapidly.
If girls Of fourteen are not grown
up-well, they think they are grown
