ARMENIAN MANDATE
Council to Ask Wilson to
Arbitrate Boundaries of
New Republic.

San Remo.-The supreme council de-
cded to ask President Wilson to arbi
trate the boundaries of the new repub
lie of Armenia The council awarded
mandate for Mesopotamia and Pales
tine to Great Britain and mandate
for Syria to France.
The supreme council also has sent
formal request to President Wilson
that the United States government
take the mandate for Armenia.
There seems to be division on the
part of the council as to whether the
region of Erzerum and its vicinity
should be included in the territory of
the Armenian republic. The Turkish
nationalists are strongly claiming
ErzerIm for themselves.
In placing Palestine under a Brit
ish mandate the council established
within the ancient limits of the Holy
Land what is called, the national
home of the Jews"
The terms of the mandate protect
the national rights of Jewish citizens
of other countries. That is to say, q
Jew Of American, British, French or
other nationality may retain his ma
tionality, although he is also a citizen
of the state of Palestine. The rights
of Arabs also are protected, there be-
ing 100000 in Palestine and 100000
Jews.

WHETHER or not YOU think that
w brown is'a suitable color for spring
when days wax warm and humid, the
fact remains that brown is going TO be
much worn and it has already met with
favor among smart women. who pre-
dict the spring fashions by what they
wear at the southern resorts. when
most of us are still going about in
winter toggery. in snow -congcsted cities.
Here is Il little frock of brown crepe.
embroidered in metal thread.
Width is given to the upper part of
the skirt by the box plated tunic, which
hangs over narrow foundation be-
meath. To some women it has come as
surprise to see how frequently in
the smart new things this combination
of long full tunic over the tight narrow
foundation appears. 1t is a style that
is becoming to every type Of woman but
the very small. The stout woman likes
it because even if her breadth of hip
requires considerable material through
the hips there may still be narrow
skirt. and that without the ugly line
across the back of the hips that is
inevitable when a stout woman wears
plain tight skirt.

AID VENTURES WITH A PURSE :
FOR VALENTINES DAY
20. : 20; %. ~

st. Valentines Day is always u
favoritc time for entertaining. ana no
party is really complete without ap-
propriate favors. The hand decorated
glass. compotc illustrated above makes
a very unusual favor to use at a Vaien
tine luncheon. and one docs not have to
he an artist either in order to reproduce
the design.
Glass compotcs of various sizes may
be purchased at any ten cent store.
A small size should be chosen for the
individual favors. The glass IS deco
rated with oil paints which have been
mixed with little white enamel paint
of the kind which comes for painting
furniture. The white enamel makes the
oil paints dry more quickly aud pro :
duccs CLASSY surface. The design
must first be transferred to the glass
compete by means of carbon paper. The
large heart shown above may be trans
fcrrcd lust as it is, and the lines may
be put in with fine brush when the
painting is done. The heart and lines
may all be done in red, or the heart may
be painted red and the lines picked out
in black. which gives a striking con-
trast.
II one prefers a more elaborate deco
ration for the compete the border of
hearts and dots may be used. Transfer
the border to the top edge of the glass
with carbon paper and color the entire
design red. The compotes should be
decorated several days before they are
to be used so that the paint will have
chance to become thoroughly dry.
Fill the cOmpotes with candy hearts
and put one at each place at the table.

he was very respectable. Well. he
brought me home and told me he would
rot be able to come and see me right
away because he was stationed in an
other town some distance from mine.
But he would correspond with me. So
after that evening | had letter twice

weeks later, He wrote to me just the
day before he sailed and told rue he

whether to depend upon that answer or
