SPANISH CLUB MEETS


 The most interesting feature of the pro- gramme at the last meeting of the Span isfi-American club was a spirited debate by chosen gdes, as to which is the more important language for Americans, Spa ish or French. The ground was hotly contested, both sides presenting and sus- training their arguments with skill and vigor. It is needless to say that the pre- ponderance of evidence being on the side of Spanish. it was voted the win ner.
 The debate having awakened such a lively interest, it has been decided to conduct another next Thursday night, in which number of members are to take part The subject will be, Resolved. That the suffrage amendment should be ratified by the states"

problem is easily solved
Now that covert cloth has regained It's
old place, especially among young peo-
pie. the designers have put many models
on the market that show this trick.
There is a covert suit offered for every
one Of the day hours which has a mar
row skirt. full al the hips, and box
coat which reaches to this fulness.
Don't imagine that the figure looks any
thing but fat with this fulness, for this
box coat is as slim as a cocoon, and the
slight movement of drapery over the
hips is merely to avoid the excessive
uglineSs OF a skirt which is tight at that
place
The whole surface of this garment is
tucked in squares, and the single
breasted jacket is trimmed down each
front edge with two rows of bullet but
tons in gun metal. These buttons are
not used after the first two or three at
the neclIline, for one wishes to show the
French blue handkerchief linen blouse
beneath, with its double friils that run
to the waist. There is a turnover collar

are merely iooped over each other and

Reddy Watches the Fat Hens.

At the sound OF that ROSTERS voice
on the other side of the little swamp
Reddy became a changed fox Could
you have been sitting where ycu could
have seen him as did BIacky the Crow
you never, never would have guessed
that Reddy had run d, very long dis
tLnce and was tired. He did not even
glance up at Black the Crow. He did
not even say thank you to Biacky for
having shown him the way. He looked
neither to the right nor TO the left,
but with eyes fixed eagerly ahead, be-
gan to steal forward swiftly.
Making no sound, for Reddy can step
very lightly when he chooses to, he
trotted swiftly through the little
swamp until he drew near the other
side Then he crouched close to the
snow-covered ground and began to
steal from bush to bush until he
reached the fallen trunk of a tree on
the very edge OF the swamp To this
he crawled on his stomach and peeped
around the end of it.

Trimming Material With Itself.

| to trim material with itself and not

| adornment- The women of the civil
! war were expert in the getting to-
/ ETY. and service out of the scrap heap
| of their former abundance. They
! learned to mash mulberries and poke
berries to produce dyes that would
turn odds and ends of muslin into
vivid bits of color. To n certain ex-
tent the lessons learned in those days
| have never left certain large segments
of the southern states where extrav-
agance in apparel does not run riot, as
in many of the northern states of the
Union.
viii we cling TO the lessons taught
ty this war; Perhaps. Anyhow, it has
made us pause and think, and that is
good for US. 1t has made the designers
twist and turn fabrics into quite allur-
ing frocks without a dollars worth of
oruamentation. France did not teach
us these things. We are an inventive
nation, and if we had had a few more
years of war. we would probably have
aStoniShed the world with what We
could do. We We're just at the begin
