gress is prepared to look with favor upon
Such proposal."..... ''Such proposal
does not involve mutual sacrifices on the
part of the nations concerned. 1t simply
involves a contribution mainly by the
United States.".. :. "This nation has
neither sought nor received substantial
benefits from the war. On the other
hand, the Allies, although having suffer-
ed greatly in loss of lives and property,
have, under the terms of the treaty of
peace and otherwise, acquired very con-
siderable accessions of territories, popu-
lations, economic and other advantages.
1t would, therefore, seem that if a full
account were taken of these and of the
whole situation, there would be no desire
nor reason to call upon the government
OF this cou try for contributions.
In writing to the British Prime Minister
President Wilson in substance endorsed
what Mr.. Houston had previously said
and after indicating the legal aspects of
the matter as affected by our laws said:
II turn now to the problem of interallied
indebtedness which you raise. You will
recall that suggestions looking to the
cancellation or exchange of the indebted
ness of Great Britain to the United States
were made to me while l was in Paris.
Like suggestions were made by the chan
cellor OF the exchequer in the early part
OF this yea;. The United States govern
ment has promptly and clearly stated it's
unwillingness to accept such suggestions
each time they have been made and has
pointed out in detail the considerations
which caused it's decision. The view of
the United States government has not
changed and it is not prepared to consent
to the remission of any part of the debt
OF Great Britain" Woodrow Wilson and
David f, Houston deserve high commen-
daton Tor the above vigorous expression
OF the sentiments of all true Americans.

large returns. Since then the work has

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am
teaching country school for liv-
ing. l have a very nice school and
good wages. l am 10 years of age
and not in love with any man.
l am going with a very derlra-
BILE young man three months
younger than l am. He seems
deeply in love and very attentive
My closest relatives insist On mar
rage. Do you think it advisable

pendent. SUfFRAGEI-
Marriage is the natural thing in
life and the man or woman VINO
does not experience 1t is really
cheated. l do think, however, that
love is necessary to marriage. IL
would be far better for you to re-
main single and independent than
to tie yourself to a man without
love. You are very young to make
such a decision It is my advice TO
wait until you find love before you
marry.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am in
veryadeep trouble and am told by
my dearest friend that it is my own
fault. l have been married IL
years and during that time L have
been very selfish, considering my
self in everything and nagging at
my husband.
My husband loved me beyond a
doubt when we were married. Then
we had a baby girl and in spite OF
his love for her he seemd to care
just as much or more for me.
was not very well after the baby
was born and so my husband helped
around the house a great deal
After I was stronger I didn't want
to do any more than l had when
was sick. My husband worked all
day and then came home and work
ed. Very often l would be lying
down and would tell him he would
have to get the supper.
Last winter our child died. From
that time on l noticed a change in
my husband. He became very ST
lent and cold. Now he has told me
that he is going away and will not
live with me again. He says 1 car

.LBBONS! RIBBONS! MORE RIBBONS
BY MARIAN HALE.

New York, July I'm her hair
she wore yellow ribbon-but
that's only the beginning of the
ribbon story.
Ribbons. this year, are more than
holding their own.
Indeed, not the only summer
gowns with their ribbon loop trim
mings show the popularity Of this
form of trimming, but the new
models for fall and winter are very
much beribboned.
One striking model by Grauer
Brothers is of the new and popu-
lar satin-faced crepe. Its color
scheme alone is startling but the
use of pekoe-edged ribbon is some
thing to make youth look longing
ly at this particular frock. AL
though this gown has the appear
ance of a straight-line dress, it is
really shirred on at the waist with
a narrow ribbon belt tying in the
back. Down the skirt are two
panel effects formed by pointed cut
outs of the goods. These points
are tied over henna georgette which
forms the lining. The waist has a
similar effect forming a vest. The
sleeves which are short and kimono
have two cut-outs tied with the
pekoe ribbon.
Another Grauer Brothers model
uses MORE ribbon in a novel
straight-line effect resembling
pleats. The straight-lined dress
with pocket side effects set on, has
a narrow belt which interlaces with
the straight rows of black MORE
ribbon, back and front. These
rows reach from the neck to skirt
bottom and are held in place by
embroidery and nail heads.
