Speaking of vests-and who isn't?- here's 8 charming bit in satin which the clever fingers of any woman may fashion easily, and far more cheaply than it may be bought in a shop. The vest proper is of blue and gold bro- caded ribbon, and the upper part is of plain blue silk in harmonious shades. Black velvet ribbon and black buttons add a touch of orna- ment. It slips over the head, and is suitable for wear with a tailored suit of wool silk or linen.

BUDGET PLANNED FOR
 CONGRESS.

Promise of improved management of national finances is contained in the announcement of prominent Re publicans in Congress that a budget system will be Introduced at the sixty-sixth session which will be con- trolled by Republican majorities. The plan will include the creation of Board of Estimates consisting of members Of the Senate and House to supervise appropriations and eXpendi- lures.
 In the past, Congress has been no toriousIy lax in the expenditure of public funds and little thought has been given to the capacity of the country to absorb additional tndebt- edness although there has been little danger of dangerous excesses. It has been the practice of Congressm to secure for their districts approprla- tions for public works regardless or the need of Improvements resulting in a constant drain on the treasury.
 No individual or corporation would consider for 8 moment carrying on business after the style of Congress. If the Republicans succeed in esta blish ing reforms which will reduce extra vagance they will possess a powerful weapon with which to attack their political rivals in the campaign of 1920.

They have been shorn of their hair. In Bruges several women have suffered this form of rctribu- ton and either must remain indoors or patronize tho wig makers It is knoyn that this method has been ap- piled in at least one other place. The scenes attending the application of this punishmet has been rather bois- terous.
 Corporal punishment is visited upon the pro Germans among the Belgian men but few of these awaited the wrath of the Belgian avengers. They decamped before tbe Belgian troops reoccupied the cities and towns which had been held under German domina- tion.
 Such cases as these have been re- narkably few. The wonder Is that there have not been more. The pro- portion of rreDegades is so small as to reflect greater glory on poor little Belgium.
 AS a whole the civil population of Belgium has remained wonderfully loyal. By their system of commn11,l administration. they were enabled to govern themselves while the German was deluding himself that he was rul- ing It enabled them to endure physi- cal privations. suffer death and resist the insidiuous propaganda of the Ger man governors.

Gen. Edwards Way.

(Sprin gfield Republican Account of
 His Reception There Sunday.)
 The outstanding feature of the oc- casion was the simple, yet dignif1ed. way in which the city gave evidence of its high regard for the man who had led it's sons at Apremont and Belleau wood, Chateau-ThIery and St Mhiel. That General Edwards sensed the spirit of the occasion was appar- ent. It was evidenced in his genuine interest for the welfare of the moth CTS and fathers who have boys in the Yankee division, in his genuine in 'terest for the welfare of the return ing heroes of the 104th, and in the whole-souied way in which he took the citizenry into his confidence when he told them Of the exploits of New fmglands famous fighting men.
 The reception held in the lobby of the council cham Der in the City hall brought the general into intimate contact with men and women who were particularly interested in him because he had led their sons in the great world war.
 General 1 want to shake your hand said a big ruddy- ced man of 40. "I had two poys in the 104th. One of them went west at Chateau Thierry."
 Whats your name sir?" inquired the general. The man mentioned it quietly.
 'r knew your boy," replied the gen eral. "I want you and his mother to know that he was a mighty fine sol dier.'
 q. wish you would tell her that, general said the man, turning around and beckontng To 8 slim wo man in black, who stood back.
 Facing around, the general held out his hands affectionatGly, remark ing, as he took them: Mrs. ---. you can be proud Of your boy. I knew him personally. He was a fine type of soldier and man. Such men as he made the name of his regiment and division memorable. He died hero"
 A ic6-set man. with gray -tinged hair and soldierly bearing, walked down the receiving line quietly. When he got opposite General Edwards. he looked him squarely in the eye and remarked something in a low tone The generals hand went out.
 ''BresnahaD of the 23d," he repeat ed slowly. How are you, Bresna- Ittll He inquired WllH dIi r''O warmth of a long-ti friend. Tt seems like old times. My. but you're looking we'll
