The dress shown fastens invisibly al

white georgette or organdy fastened
in front with a ribbon tie. Narrow
black velvet ribbon would be effective
or the tie may match the plain fabric
or blend with one Of the vivid shades
in the plaid.
There is no ironclad rule in regard
to waist length Of children's clothes
but at present the preference seems
to be for straight line effects or gar.
ments that adhere to a normal waist
line. The long-waisted models have
not been successfully featured fol-
years and only very little girls look
well in the short-waisted affairs.
Black velvet will be considerably
used for: children next season. Some
smart models are trimmed only with
bright metal buttons. n
For party frocks georgette is a IA
vored fabric. and ribbon trimming is
very effective. Garlands of ribbon
flowers. small fiat bows, rosettes, etc.
may be lightly attached to little
party frock of net or georgette, the
trimming to be removed when the
frock has to go to the laundry.

The afternoon dress has returned as
companion of the dove Of peace.
The prediction was quite generally
made before we really knew what
wars were like or what their effect
would be that evening gowns would
cease to be an important matter in
women's wardrobes. Evening dress at
the theaters or in public places was
undef an Introduction in Paris ana
there were plenty OF women
duchesses and countesses and such
in London who, though they wore
their accustomed low necks ana pare
arms in the evening. ordered no new
evening frocks while the war lasted.
They rather liked being hopeless!y
out of fashion. 1t stood for patriot
ism. and surely it marked the old
English aristocracy from a newly
arrived element who bought all sorts
Of new frocks and paid for them from
funds that they had acquired as war
profits.
But, then all in all, evening gowns
did not go very much into eclipse. In
France, you know, the women wore
high frocks in public places, but their
house apparel was unaffected by gov
eminent regulations or suggestions
and besides, quite within those regu-
lations. they had gowns to wear IN
the evening that were high-necked.

"'Dear Folks at Home"

THE story of the United States
l. Marines in France is told in "Dear
Folks at Home" IL collection of their own
letters from battlefield and hospital. The
selections are made by Corporal Kemper
Cowing, edited by Lieut. Courtney Cooper
and Illustrated by Private Morgan Dennis,
and they show without exception the spirit
of the men who are known as the First
to Fight" These soldiers for whom the
name of the Bots BelIeau has been off
cially changed to the 'Bois de la Brigade
des Marines" write of their exploits as
simply and as modestly as the bravest men
usually do.
Private William Bishop explains in part
the difference between Boches and rats,
and meditates on life in the trenches.
CAS- for pleasure around here there isn't
much except reading your shirt, which
means to look it over for coolies And
as for rats, they are the size of five
year-Old tOmcat. Iou cant scare them.
They crawl all over your hunks. and if
you knock them down they just come right
back again. If the Boche had as much
nerve as the rats. We certainly would have
time of it.
Many of the letters are from the IA
vored ones who paraded in Paris on the
Fourth of July. We quote from Sergeant
Arthur Canoes description:
"The papers said that we glanced
neither TO right nor left that we marched
doggedly on, with determined, set faces.
God! How could we look at those beaming
people. who thought us heroes? How
could we look otherwise! For our jaws
were clenched to keep back the binding
tears My thoughts reverted continually
to those lonely graves way back in the
woods, to the hastily constructed crosses
that mark the real heroes / felt like an
interloper, purloiner Of the rights Of
others more deserving. l felt the honor
too great to bear. / stumbled on"

and was going to buy it simply because

sound and foolish) and uplifts himself, his

artificial as to be an insult 10 the intelli-

sents very real picture of the uncon-
seiOus influences of German birth and
breeding on the lives of some Germans in

place Comma. Cause, by Samuel Hopkins
Adams, in the second category we have
mentioned. We can pass over with seant
attention Jeremy Robson's purchase of a
run down newspaper with a suddenly ae-
quired legacy and his misadyentures with
the principal advertisers Of Feuchester.
What gives the novel something more
definite in character is the picture it pre-
sents of Germanie influences working their
will over the lives of other Americans in
the months between August, 1914, and
April, 1917, by the powers of wealth, po-
htieal influence and propaganda of both
insidious and the open sort

Adams draws with so much reality 20 truth
was before our eyes, but tina. we could
not see it. This lesson must be his novels
chief reason for being, since its main
theme is lacking in originality and its love

aged eleven, Of Paris, the principals Of
one such transaction.
The idea is cieverly worked out, Andree
being mistaken for boy through the
omission of the final from her name, and
given James Prendegast Jackson. Jr., in
response to his letter of application in
which he makes clear his desire that the
godchild "shood be named Bill or Pete in
french and not one of those girly names

plicatIOnS cnsue and several minor TRACE
dies are narrowly avoided. Funniest of
all are the desperate letters which the
youthful godfather sends the society as
the fcmlninty of Andree begins to bctray
itself.

So long. however, as the opposi-

will be in a position to reject the
treaty unless the president consents
to notifications. The Republican
leaders are confident that they can
hold far more than 33 senators in

unless modified. and that in this wa!
they can force the president to come

Some Republican senators say they
cannot understand how the president
could oppose the Monroe doctrine

in making it unmistakable that the
United States does not purpose to
yield this traditional American doc
