YOUTHFUL FASHIONS.

"Flappers" and fur caps go togeth- CT on all the streets. There are ob- long turbans of squirrel with a bunch of Christmas holly at the side-a kind of gloried holly, that must have grown when Alice was in Wonder~ land, for its fat, stuffed berries look like plums and it's sharp spiked leaves are gilded.
 Again the urban may be of seal skin or kolinsky, and to make it more coquettish the youngster sees to it that the milliner ticks a spiked, ar rogant bow of horizon-blue velvet rib bon on one side, There is nothing heavy about the bow; it would be insignificant if it were not for it's ar rogance.
 She does not disdain the flat hat, especially if she is in the southern exodus. She wears immense pan- cakes of straw and jersey or straw and georgette crepe mixed, but she keeps them from looking too much like the hats worn by Louisa Alcott' s heroines; she embroiders them with colored wool to show that she knows what is what in the fashion of the hour.
 Again she takes the Blue Devil i beret as one of the many things out | of her gone in head over heels for | France during the great war and the French soldier has taken the place of l the matinee idol. The milliner makes this beret for her in straw or | velveteen, and she runs a band of red ribbon embroidered in gold at the l edge, to keep in the spirit of victory | and trumpeting colors.
 And, by the way, the "fappers'' have no idea of being lefs out of the | procession of those wearing Victory clothes. They have no shrinking
 about their costumery and what il
 signifies; they are instinctively
 psychological, and they wish to pro-
 claim the side they took in the war by every manner of clothes that the | dressmakers and milliners have
 thrown Into the fashions to proclaim
 the day of peace.
 So the "fapper" wears red-brigh'
 glowing. triumphant red. She doesn l hesitate a second in choosing severa
 garments of 1t. She is not weighted

 The dressmakers have given he
 scarlet tunics of woollen jersey, whici
 sine wears to school under a short 0 long coat Against the scarlet sur !. face are bands of cream colored jer sey vividly embroidered in red an, , black.
 The hat that the milliner ha
 matched to the dressmaker's Victor 7 frock is of cream colored jerse with a big soft crown. The brim i faced with red straw and there is [ twisted red cord and tassel that look , as though it had been lifted from tn shoulders of some staff officer. I certainly would be pilfered from tn : officer if the "flapper" had a chanc to get at if, for she has taken the Wa so to heart, and has worked so har In it, that she embraces all the fight l CTS under the word hero"

IN SHEER CRUELTY
Boches Operated on Prisoners
 Without AneSthetiCs.
Ample Proof That There Was No Shortage of Medical Supplies Ia Evidence of Fiendishness
 of Hun Surgeons.

A British prisoner taken near St. Quentin in March said that all amputa- tions in Germany were being done without anesthetics, owing to alleged shortages of them. A correspondent writes:
 "On the day that the prince of Wales entered Domain and attended the serv- ice of thanksgiving in the church there l fingered behind after all the cere- monies were over and talked with the inhabitants. They had been badly treated. They were full of the stories of their legitimate woes. One old man said to me:
 'M'sieu should see the English doc tor. He knows"
 T saw him. He was a major in charge of a Canadian field ambulance. When 1 found him, in the huge build ing which he had transformed into hospital, he was busy experimenting the treatment of women and pitiful lit tie children who had been gassed by the BocheS in defiance of ali the laws of humanity. There was one little fel- low bowling with terror. He did not wish to remain with the military. He had only known the German soldier!
 "WeIl, then take him away, poor little chap said the major. Bring him back three times a day to be dressed "Then the major and talked of the successful Canadian attack and of the condition of the town when it had been taken. It was not a pretty story. It i was, in fact, a terrible indictment against the Roche.
 "They starved the civilians. The only meat they, gave them in three years was three dead mules. And all i the time their own officers were living on the best
 "'Then there was shortageT "'Oh, yes, there was a shortage; but the German officers did not feel it.
 "'And their other supplies? Your line. for instance-medicaI supplies? :?
 1.-The major laughed.
 Come with me- he said, and IT show you field medical cart that we captured just as they were driving i off. It is one of the most wonderful things have ever seem
 I've went into the transport yart and here we found something like l; Scotch cart with a closed-in top, bear ing the Red Cross on its sides. Int major let down the back flap and W. saw series of drawers, like m en | o-1 {nI IJ Jt pulled one out.
 Hook at that he said. There yoI have most of the drugs we have beer short of for months-and have then in profusion. Morphia, chloroform- anything you like. It is the most per feet thing of it's kind I have ever seen You could sell that carts cargo in Eng land for its weight in gold, It con tainS some of the most valuable ant rarest synthetic drugs in the world. 1 IS treasure troVe. Like a souYe mir? Here, then-here's a case of ! dozen phials of morphine-or chloro form-or antipyrin.'
 That was in a field medical cart If such supply of rare drugs coult be sent up practically to the iron line, what must the German have hat in his rear hospitals? What, then, cal be his excuse for amputating the limb ; of our wounded prisoners withou anesthetics? Can 1t have been any thing but wanton cruelty? "That field medical cart is the evi dence !"-Boston Transcript.

Too Much Arithmetic.

Uncle Nose Lightfoot approached a clerk in the drug store and inquired :: "Got any three-cent stamps?" "No," the clerk replied, "we're all out of threes."
 Oats too bad" said Uncle Nose, "cause dis letter ought to go out to- night"
 "We have plenty of twos."
 "But dis letter goes out of town" "And we have plenty of Ones." But one won't take it."
 Couldn't you put on a two and a one?"
 "Huh?"
 "Or three ones?"

Within ten minutes after an appli- cation of Danderine you can not find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after a few weeks use, when you see new hair. fine and downy at first-yes-but really new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 A little Danderine immediately dou- bles l:.e beauty of your hair. No diff ference how dull. faded, brittle and scraggy. Just moisten a cloth with DanderIne and carefully draw il through your hair, taking one small strand at time. The effect is amaz- ing-your hair will be light. fluffy and wayy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incomparable lustre, softness anG lu&uriance.
 Get a small bottle of Knowlton's DanderiEe from any drug store Or toilet counter, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any that il has been neglected Or injured by careless treatment-that's all-you surely can have beautiful hair ane lIots of f if you will just try httls Danderine.-Adv,

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Roll out crust and with scissors cut 1t about one-half inch larger than the circumference of your plate. When pie Is ready for top crust cut that just the size of plate. Now fold over the bottom crust on to top crust, pressing down firmly and dent with fork. Juice cannot run out.
 If hardwood floors are badly spot ted and dirty the best way to clean them is Wiping them up with gaso- lene. Moisten a clean piece of cheese cloth with gasolene, and wet the sur face of the floor vigorously with moisture of cheesecloth, changing cloth as soon as it becomes much soiled.
 If gasolene Is used in cleaning floors have windows open to create a strong draft. No open lights or fires should be in the room or closs to 1t when gasolene is used.
 Use mild neutral soap in making suds in order not to affect the paint A floor painted a neutral color, such as light buff or blue gray, will moi easily show the dust. It is well tc protect places that get worst wea, with small rugs. A painted floor may have worn places touched with out doing the whole floor. 4 painted floor is easily wiped up and pleasant to stand on. Paint should be re. newed every year if rooms get harG wear.
