immortality Dresses"
Letter Causes Furry
In Rue de la Paiz

Paris, Dec. 7.-Cardinal Amette's
recent pastoral letter calling atten-
ton in his diocese to the immoral
ity of certain dresses" has caused a
certain amount of furry in the Rue
de la Paix. Cardinal Bourne Of
Westminster, London, has also had
occasion to take exception to certain
styles worn in that city.
Madame Paquin, president Of the
Chamber of Parisien Dressmakers,
while admitting that some styles are
rather daring, says:
"Dressmaking is an art, and If
certain works of art turned out lately
offend good taste, it is because they
are ignorant. .......
"Dressmaking is very delicate
art, and a little snip of scissors may
spoil completely an effect which
should be elegantly preserved. | can
readily see that Cardinal Annette
was sometimes shocked, and | am
quite in accord with him and his de-
sire that certain styles disappear"

Won't Sign Protocol
To the Peace Pact


and docks would not have been
made.
"Out to Cripple Germany"
To this. he says, Noske replied:
"Oh, yes they would. The British
would have invented some pretext.
Great Britain is out to cripple Ger
many and demands our last dredges
and cranes so as to prevent the re-
vival of our mercantile marine.
Noske repudiated the German
governments responsibility for the
sinking of the German fleet at Scapa
Flow and accused the German gov
eminent of publishing misleading
and fake extracts of the letters of
Rear Admiral Adolf Won Trotha,
chief of the German admiralty, writ
ten to Admiral Won Reuter-, who
sank the ships.
Regarding the protocol, Noske
said its signature would be giving
Germany's assent in advance to un-
limited future aggressions by the
allies. ....
What more do you WANT" asked
Noske you used to tell us if we
chase away the Hohenzollerns peace
would be adopted. And now you are
breaking every pledge you gave. You
have imposed upon us such crush
ing peace that it could not have been
worse if the Hohenzollerns had re-
NAMED.
Expect March Into Country.
The French doubtless will march
into Germany. Let them come. The
allies know that Germany is without
means of resistance Allied officers
are all over the country. Spies are
shutting about everywhere. All the
scare talk about. German armament
is a deliberate press campaign to
prepare public opinion for aggres-
sion" .......r.
Noske further limited at third OBJ
lection Germany might raise to the
signing of the protocol.
"If the United States stays out, "
he said, the commissions estab-
lished under the peace treaty will be
taken over by the other allies. If
that means more Frenchmen, it
would be most injurious to German
interests and we should not agree"

CHURCH MEMBER
GIVES $4,000 TO
BUILDING FUND
Promised to Duplicate Amount
Raised for First Con-
gregatlonal.

In the words of one of the Lead

gational church who made the re
port last night, one of the prominent
laymen got stung' to the extent of
$4,000 in one spot cash installment,
| $50 people present at the event
pledging themselves to keep the
name a secret in consideration OF
the expressed wishes of the generous
donor of the amount.
The church, now located at Nine

building new and magnificent edi-
flee at Harvey and Thirty-sixth

amount raised by the congregation
to complete the building fund.
Church Raises $4,000.
From $l50000 to $l75,000 is esti-
mated as the sum necessary to conf
plete the church building, and it was
decided to attempt to raise the
amount at meeting following yes
terday's services.
A huge blackboard was erected
ard large blocks of various sizes
marked off. These blocks were Of
fered for sale and were taken so
quickly that new subdivision had
to be mapped out.
In all, $4,000 was raised in a short
time, which meant that the member

asking only that his name be with

ONLY THING FOR

IS TO Retreat
Judge Says When Wife Starts
Quarrel, Man Must MeekIy
Acknowledge She Is
Boss.

London, May l0.-Three old gen.
tlemen who always travel together
to the city were vastly interested in
the report of a decision by Justice
Kunkel, OF Harrisburg. Penn, U. S.
A., that "a man has full rights in
his own home against everybody
but his wife, and when the wife
starts a quarrel it is the husbands
business to retreat"
"The modern newspaper reader"
said one of the old gentlemen, finds
in his newspaper all the concentrate
ed wisdom of Solomon, repolished
for the guidance of young and un-
trained men. If the newspapers of
my young days had printed epi-
grams like this they would have been
Of incalculablc service to me at the
outset of my married life"
Judge Fearless.
What I admire in the judge"
said another of the old gentlemen,
"is the fearless candor of the words,
When the wife starts a quarrel 1t
is tardy recognition from a judi
cial bench that wives always start
quarrels."
But the remarkable thing" in
terposed the third old gentleman,
is that. wives always persuade hus-
bands that they were the agrees

Starting a Geyser.
TITS my belief" said the third
old gentleman, "that when they are
young they work the whole thing
up in cold blood for blackmail. A
wife says to herself, I want this or
4 want that. What's the quickest
way to get it?' The whole business
is a stage play. But when wives
are Older there's no acting in it;
they always remind me Of those
geysers in Iceland that go off at ir-
regular intervals. And then, as the
judge says, retreat is the only
policy"
"I've heard" chuckled the first
old gentleman, that you can make
geysers 60 off by throwing a bit
of turf at them
"Whatv' cried the second old
gentleman. DO you mean, to say
that sometimes you have dared to
provoke
The first old gentleman chuckled
again. "Yes," he admitted. II have
thrown bit of turf sometimes--and
a small bit does, too, if you choose
it judiciously--but I've always had
