COTTON FOR BEST
Fabric Is Satisfactory and Is
SuppIanting Others.
Not Necessary to Don Silk or Wooden
to Be Dressed for Street
or House.

It has been within the last few
years that cottons were produced in
as attractive designs as silks or WOOL
jen fabrics. The fact that cottons
were cheaper has kept manufacturers
from thinking it worth while employ
ing high-priced designers in produc-
ing new and attractive designs. So
from year to year our ginghams and
calicoes have been printed and woven
in much the same way, and it is only
when we bought silk that we got the
most attractive designs. This Is still
the case to a certain extent, for there
is still much to be done in this mat
ter of making cottons more attrac-
tive. Still, we can get cotton fabrics
that are immensely satisfactory, and
we no longer feel that we must don
silk or wooden If we would be suitably
dressed for the street or for formal
occasions. Evening gowns that are
immensely attractive are made Of or
candies and voiles Of cotton, and
street gowns that are appropriate for
any sort Of occasion are made in cot
ton foulards and other cotton fabrics:
Il you can make your own frocks
then you can have all sorts of attrac-
tive frocks at comparatively small ex-
pense. But even If you have to buy
them they are not prohibitive, for de-
spite the high cost Of labor the manu-
facturers are managing to put out
good frocks Of cotton at q reasonable
price. -
One attractive frock that is put out
by one OF theE manufacture that
would be suitable for any sort Of
street wear is of cotton foulard with
long bell sleeves and round neck
with a collar Of white organdie. The
bodice extends into hip-length peplums
and there Is wide girdle of the pop
lin, making a. sort OF Russian blouse
effect, thus producing somewhat the
effect of jacket, which we have
come to regard as more suitable for
outdoor wear.
. For the busy housewife there is al
ways wisdom in selecting a house
frock that has short sleeves, for the
task Of unbuttoning long, sleeves and
properly folding them back whenever
one has to go about any housework
Is not worth the advantage of having
long sleeves. And in the new frocks
there are many that have short
sleeves. j-=see-r -f#e = .-'=e sf

Much Trouble In AIsace.
American troops that saw service in
the mountainous Alsace country had
the greatest difficulties with the spy

lines were a large number Of people
who were German-born and who re-
tanned their sympathies for the kaiser.
The country offered unusually good OPP
Dortunities for spies because of its

nights, when American troops were en-
tering the trenches to relieve other
units, rockets and colored lights shot
up from hills behind the American
front The German artillery promptly
responded to this tip by pounding the
American communication trenches,
knowing that they would be crowded
with men passing forward. The hills
and woods afforded such excellent hid
ing places that it was next to impos-
sible to attempt to trap the men who
had touched off the lights. The situa-
ton In Alsace was all the more diff
cult because the French government
desired to avoid offending the Alsatian
villagers by making arrests.

Thus far the feet has covered an

nobody knows. Captain Sexton ,esti-
mated the mine hunt would keep the
sweepers busy until October or No
vember. 1t involves personnel OF
about $500. RI -
When the word was first mouthed
around through the ranks that Ameri-
can gobs were going to pick up the
mines they helped to lay short time
before, the general opinion was that
1t would be one OF the most thrilling
jobs yet And no one has been disap-
pointed. Equipped with maps show
ing approximately where every mine
was dropped, the, hotilla started out
in twos, each pair dragging a cable be-
tween them. y
Mines sown In Strings.
The mines, the map said, were sewn
in strings. All the sweepers had to
do was to Fsfraddle the line. pass from
one end TO- the other. and the cable,
between them. would do the rest.
OF course. the particular mine In
question wouldn't be the only one to go
off. The conclusion would always set
off others Immediately adjoining, and
probably still others adjoining these.
These two exigencies were provided
for on the map under the titles 'zone
Of extreme danger" "zone of possible
danger" and beyond that ''zone OF
safety" In addition, there would be
few other mines free-1ancing around In
all three zones. +~s....- -. =
The first few days were rather dis.
astrous. Captain Sexton and his staff
IN London began to dread opening the
mornings dispatches. Gradually, with
Yankee resourcefulness, the Americans
seemed to be getting on top Of the
job. until now Captain Sexton is con-
fident they are going to clean up the
assignment with minimum losses.

Enemy Learned Valuable Secrets
No Matter How Carefully

Germans Sent Smoothest Secret Ser
vice Men to Camp on Trail OF
Americans as Soon as They
Landed.

Professionalism newspaper CORE
spondents abroad are now permitted
TO relate some of the troubles the
Americans experienced with the great
German spy system. .o
No army In the world war had a
harder fight against the smooth-work-
ing. far-reaching Teuton espionage sys-
tenn than did General Pershing's war
riors The Germans concentrated a
large number of spies against the
Americans Immediately after the first
Yankee contingents, landed In France
and kept augment1ng their numbers.
The American army was made the OBJ
Ject Of the spy offensive because the
Germans recognized that, if the war
continued until the summer Of 1918
and then Tapped over into 1919 it was
the American army that would figure
largely In allied operations. They
wanted to find out, what kind OF an
army Pershing had, what the morale
of the Individual soldiers was. what the
stats were planning and what disposi-
ton was being made of American
troops behind the western battle front.
Hard to Keep Secrets
In spite of all precautions and In
spite of contre-espionag forces. Ger
man agents undoubtedly collected a
large amount of valuable information
behind the American lines to supple
ment other odds and ends they had
picked mp from American prisoners,
from the reports OF their land and air
observers and from other sources.
Officers tried hard to keep the Boche
from learning that one American unit
had been removed from the line and
supplemented by another. That was
Information that the German intelIi-
gence officers wanted for their "oraer

EASY TO TRIM YOUR OWN HAT
Homemade Headgeari Possible for
Any Woman and Affords Desired
Individuality.

Never has 1t been easier to trim your
own hat. In the days when 1t was
necessary to adjust bandeau, to make
and fasten. In rolls and rosettes of ma
lines, and then to arrange on the top
Of the hat quantities Of complicated
trimming the task of making home
made hat was arduous and the results
usually impossible. But for the last
few years-this season especially-if
is an easy enough matter for a per-
son with distinct idea of the effect
she wants to produce to trim q hat
in a satisfactory and professional way.
Everything today depends on the
line of the hat itself, In the absence
Of built up trimming, so first select q
becoming shape. Then the task Is
easy. The only disappointment now
In the homemade hat Is that it is no
bargain counter product. 1t often
costs as much as that, found trimmed
in the millinery shop, for feathers and
shapes with the right line cost pretty
penny However the woman who
wants to be original can be so at a
smaller expense if she trims her own
hat than If she purchased really
distinctive hat already trimmed.
The hat with the brim turned away
from the face Is strong rival Of the
hat that shades the nose.
The milHners are making an effort
to change the fashion from the latter
shape to the former. Last season they
turned hats up in the back to show
the hair; now they let the brim run
straight out at the. back, but turn 1t
up In front to show the forehead.
Some women show a wave or two
of hair or a bit Of fringe In the mid
die of the forehead beneath the up
turned brim. This is an innovation.

of this coarse linen. One lovely model
was in a delicate shade of pink and
was trimmed with a heavy cotton
