TREATY NCOMM|TS
HUNS TOLEAGUE
President Pushes His Pro-
gram Welding Society, De-
spite Pichon and Tardieu.
u. S. MEMS PLAN DEFINED
BY HARRY is%~1.H.
Cablegram to 'Ehe EveninE Stnr and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1919.

PARIS, March 19.-Whcn the Ger
mans come to Paris in about fourteen
days they will have to sign a prelimi
hary treaty of peace containing a
clause which definitely commits the
signatories to league of nations.
This is the view in the highest Ameri-
can quarters and the Americans have no
desire to depart from it.
"Swaying Unlikely"
In spite of numerous statements
from officials and unofficial sources in
Paris that the league OF nations Will
not be Incorporated in the preliminary
treaty the President is going ahead with
the league and II is not likely, judg-
ing by his record. that anything will
sway him from his object.
The American program for the pre-
lininary treaty of peace is now well de-
fined in the minds OF Americans in high
places. 1t embraces three separate
points:
American Delegates Program.
|. 1t viii abrOgate the state or war
with Germany and define, in general,
Germany's frontiers and obligations.
. 1t viii definitely commit the sig
natories to u league OF nations.
3. 1t will probably throw the dis
cussion of all the disputed points
dealing with the new frontiers in the
Balkans and in Asia Minor, and all
questions affecting the war with Aus
tria, Bulgaria and Turkey to the
league OF nations itself.
Third Point Debated.
The third point is not yet so gen.
orally accepted by the Americans as
it is expected to be, but there is little
difference Of opinion on the first two
Making peace with Germany is today
regarded as absolutely essential by all
the nations at the conference.
The second point has been the sub
ject Of dispute. Last Sunday at the
conference of newspaper men with
Foreign Minister PicEon l heard him
say definitely that the league of ma
tions would not be contained in the
preliminary peace treaty. On Thurs
day of last week NJ Tardieu made the
same statement. M. Pichon declared
that it would be perfectly proper in
the final treaty.

It Appeals to Women.

Through this sensible advancement
toward success in the production or a
play. the attention of the audience IS
caught and held. Women consider II
worth while to pay the price of seat
to see an array of good-looklns
frocks worn by those who are sitting,
standing and moving.
Wax figures in shop windows give
no idea of what a gown will look like
in motion, but the stage folk show OH
the frocks to the best advantage.
This. to an audience of women. Is an
allure far beyond the price OF the best
orchestra seat.
When an actress wears negllge or
an opera cloak it seems to be OF
greater interest to women than
frock. Why? Because they. are not
always privileged to see these two
types of garments in their everyday
life.
The putting on of an opera cloak or
the management of a negiige thrills
them. 1t never fails to create a rip
pie of excitement. even. in dull play.
Therefore. actresses who want to
attract attention use to the fullest
value the opera cloak and the tea
gown. They are women, and they
know the charm of these two pieces
of apparel They play them up as
they do their best lines, and they be-
come tense situations.

FASHIONS

Dame fashion has definitely ap-
proved the poke-shaped hat. In max
ing this almost uniformly becoming
bit of headgear. anything from ging-
ham and calico to the sheerest and
finest Of silks may be used with good
effect. 1t Is all a question of where
and when the hat is to be worn.
Bingham hats are the very newest
thing in the millinery field. They are
to be worn when summer comes
around with all-white frocks or with
white blouse and separate skirt. The
blouse may carry a color touch, If de-
sired. but the bright colored Bingham
hat will appear to best advantage il 1t
is the one color note in an otherwise
all-white costume.
The sketch offers a suggestion for
a poke hat of pink and white checked
Bingham, to be trimmed with sprays
of apple or cherry blossoms or a sash
of ribbon tied in a flaring bow in the
front.
The other poke-shaped chapeau is
of georgette, side tilted, designed es-
pecially for wear at a summer garden
party Color and trimming may be
arranged TO suit the taste and COM
pleXion of the wearer.

Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of the

the "swat-the fly campaign and
wage campaign of ruthlessness
against the pest during the summer.
While no set campaign has been
planned as yet by the organizations,
the various troops and patrols. as in

tending the campaign by example.

them with lime or some other suitable
disinfectant. Keep all stable manure
in properly screened vaults or pits"
Careful screening Of all windows
and doors to exclude flies is also
urged as a means of aiding in the
fight for fyless city. Especially
should doors and windows of kitch-
ems and dining rooms be screened.
The health department also calls at
tention to the regulation requiring
that all food of any kind exposed for
sale must be kept properly screened.
and asks that the same precaution be
observed in homes.

A Feathered Busybody.

The morning after the fight be-
the English Sparrow found Peter
Rabbit in the Old Orchard again. He
was SO curious to know what Jenny
Wren would do for a house that
nothing but some very great danger
could have Kept him away from there.
Truth to tell. Peter was a little afraid
that not being able to have their old
house, Jenny and Mr.. Wren would de-
eide to leave the Old Orchard altogeth-
err. So it was with a great deal of
relief that as he hoped over the old
Stone Wall he heard Mr. Wren sing
ing with all his might.
The song was coming from quite
the other side of the Old Orchard from
where Bully and Mrs. Bully had set up
housekeeping. Peter hurried over. He
found Mr.. Wren right away, but he
fret saw nothing of Jenny. He was
caught sight OF her with a tiny stick
In her bill. She snapped her sharp
little eyes at him, but for once her
tongue was still. You see she couldn't
talk and carry that stick at the Same
time. Peter watched her and saw her
disappear in a little hole in a big
branch of one of the old apple trees
Hardly had she popped in than she
Popped out again. This time her
mouth was free and so was her
tongue:

ing and began to hunt for a tiny lit

that hole. ,>

take you long to find a new house,
did it?'
Certainly not" snapped Jenny.
I'VE can't afford to sit around vast

Peter grinned and looked a little
foolish. but he didn't resent it. You
see he was quite used to that sort of
thing. Aren't you afraid that Bully
will try to drive you out of that
hcuse?" he -ventured.
Jenny Wren's sharp little eyes
snapped more than ever. I'D like to
see him try" said she. THAT door

NEW TEA GOWNS FOR SUMNER.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE one
defect in an alluring tea gown is that
the public does not see it. 1t is only
known by ones intimates. 1t is worn
in the house when the public is ex-
cluded.
1t is because of this exclusiveness
that one delights; in finding on the
stage attractive ideas for tea gowns.
There the actresses become name
quins-although the word would dis
please them more than anything eIse
in the world-and show OF to the pest
advantage the frocks which the
women in the audience appear 10
enjoy as much s%the play itself
France and England have long useo
the stage as the public platform 1or
fashions, In America we have been
slow to catch the idea.
There may have been some com
mercial reason behind the fact that
our actresses often appeared to wear
secondhand clothes. or, worse sun.
those made az home which had the
air of having been patched up out OF
the odds and ends left over from last
seasons wardrobe.

have learned only recently. to provide
the cast with gowns that catch At
tention from the public and are maze
by famous designers.

Girlishness in Tea Gowns.

The stage this spring has exploited
certain types of informal indoor robes
which are often mistaken by the au-
dience for informal evening gowns.
They are not the sumptuous kind
of velvet, cloth of gold or transpar-
ent wells of chiffon and ,tulle over q
thinly clad form.
Now, the audience really likes these
two types better than the new kind.
but it is the duty of reporter to de-
scribe what is new and what is worn.

Taffeta hats are very popular this
season. They are by no means the
severely tailored affairs that the mere
thought of taffeta suggests. :.
Lace hats also are being accorded
great deal of attention and for din

of chantilly lace may be a thing OF
beauty and wonderfully becoming.

CHRISTMAS SEAL FUNDS

Within two weeks over a billion
Red Cross Christmas Seals will be on
sale in every nook and corner of the
United States. These seals are sold
to finance the campaign against tu-
berculosis In this country. OF every
dollar received from the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals, 917c remains
in the state where the seals are sold
for the benefit of the organized anti
tuberculosis campaign in that state.
Out of the remaining S.3%o, the ex-
penses of running the campaign are
first deducted, and whatever is left is
then divided between the American
Red Cross and the National Tuber-
culosis Association.
The Red Cross Christmas Seal cam
paign is not for the purpose Of fnanc-
ing the work of the American Red
Cross or Its chapters. 1t is for the
purpose of financing the National Tu-
berculosis Association and the various
state tuberculosis associations. The
Red Cross Christmas Seal, launched
In 1908 by the American Red Cross,
has been issued in the name of the
Red Cross since that date. In March
1919 the American Red Cross agreed
to allow the National tuberculosis
Association to use it's name and en-
blem on the usual Christmas seal.
This year the Red Cross has NO other
part in the tuberculosis Seal Cam
paign. The Red Cross Seal is a Tu-
berculosis Seal. Those who buy II

In their own communities.
