extreme popularity of this material
has made it acceptable for private
evening dances in the winter as well
as in the summer. For instance,
there is the pure white, organdy
which, when trimmed with rows Oh
black footing or narrow black lace
edeing. becomes as formal looking
garment as one could conceive.
There is nothing sWeeter for an eve
ming dance frock, and many or the
girls this season have confined their
efforts to this fabric, realizing that
there was nothing on the market
which would become them more
fully for anything to be worn to an
informal gathering.
Made with a wide bertha, after
the old-fashioned girlish design,
these frocks of either organdy or
cotton net have become the favorite
thing among a large circle Of well
dressed girls. If they have any
talent at all in this direction they
make them up themselves, and if
they are entirely devoid of these
particular instincts, then they labor
with the dressmakers, who can turn
them out something so lovely for so
little money.
Silk net dresses and chiffon
dresses are the embellishments of
these materials, which, quit natural
ly are used for more formal 2Tairs.
But both Of these materials are dyed
in the most perfect colors and are
acceptable, without trimming Of any
kind, for the most formal sort of
parties.
The taffeta dresses and those
made from some of the soft satins
are really the most satisfactory of
all for purely dance frocls. These
materials stand a great deal Of fling.
ing around before they decide to de-
part this life and give up the adorn-
ment of the young and dancing girl.
The taffeta dress in the picture is
made Of a combination Of taffeta
and black lace. Now you can easily
see that the lace might be done away
with, wholly or in part, and still
that would be. good looking and a
dressy dress. For instance, there
might be only the' lace sleeves, the
lace insert about the neck line and
the rest might be taffeta pure and
simple. It would still be a good de-
sign and suitable for the sort of eve
ming party about which we are
thinking.
Therefore, you can see that the
dance frock need not be any more
elaborate nor expensive than the
regular everyday frock. 1t can lose
all Of it's horror as an undue eX-
pense and become only an express
sion that is good for the soul of the
young and an adornment de luxe for
the general appearance Of the dance
as a whole.

FORMER A. T. F. MEN
RE:-V|S|T|NC FRANCE
BY HENRY WELTON
(Ieased Wire Service to The Journal

NEW YORK, June 20.-Every
liner which has left New York for
Europe in the last six months has
had among her passengers one or
more former members of the Amer
lean eXpeditionary forces in
France. Some Of the liners have
carried more than a score of for
mer service men.
This statement made by port Of
ficials today, reveals the fact that
the lure of the battlefield is as
strong now as it ever was and that
with the passing years the SOL
diers who fought in France will
turn their thoughts and their steps,
when possible, toward Chateau
Thierry, toward st. Mihiel and the
wilderness of the Argonne, just as
Civil war veterans have turned in
the past to Gettysburg and Ante
tam, to Chickamauga and Manassas.
Already nearly all the highest in
command of the A. E. F. have been
back to France and visited the
places where American troops were
engaged with the enemy. The lat
est to go is General Robert Lee
Billiard, commanding the Second
corps area, who rose in France
from command of the famous First
division to general of the Second
American army. Along with Gen
eral Hunter Liggett, who COM
manded the First army, General
Billiard was recommended for pro-
motion to the grade Of lieutenant
general, but congress satisfied it.
self with rewarding General Perish
ing alone, although the latter
fought valiantly 70 gain proper
recognition of the services Of his
army commanders. General Perish
ing has been back to France, and
General Hartford, his chief of staff
recently toured the old battlefields.
Brigadier General Douglass Mac
Arthur, one Of the outstanding he
roes Of higher rank in the A. e.
F., married last winter in Palm
Beach, spent his honeymoon in
France. Every army transport sail
ing with supplies for the troops on
the Rhine has carried many mill
tary passengers" TO Europe and
apparently every officer of the reg.
ular army who can afford the ex-
pense has applied for leave of alb
sence with permission to travel
abroad.
These regular officers, as well as
those who made up the citizen
army sent overseas, declare that
France does not yet realize the real
heart claim she has on SO many
Americans-a claim that will grow
stronger in the years to come, just
as Americas Civil war battlefields
have become more halloWed with
the passing of time. The returning
travellers say Americans do not
feel a great warmth Of welcome
nowadays and. have a conscious
ness that, being Americans, they
are charged about twice the prices
a Frenchman would be asked to
pay.
Despite these untoward circum-
stances every officer and man of
the A. E. F. who can scrape the
money together will go to France at
the very first opportunity.

Feeding Father

We know the latest diet rules and raise the children by them; they keep ma slim and Susan plump, but father will not try them. Man wants but little here below nor wants that little long, but pa wants coffee thrice day and wants that coffee strong. We know that fruits are good for pa, we steam them, boil them, bake them, we cook them fifty-seven ways but can't make father take them. We serve him eggs in many styles, we scramble poach and beat them; they must be fried like tough raw hide or father will not eat them. The health ful greens and stringless beans his palate do not tickle, but he will shout for saurkrout, nine wienies and a pickle. He's busting all nutrition rules in spirit and in letter, he wants fried spuds three times a day, the greasier the better. If pa still stub bornly persists, Dame Natures wrath to brave, we fear, by gum, that he will come to an untimely grave. Just how he'll fare when over there and what he'll chew we know not How will he eat celestial meat without a soggy doughnut? Above the choir they'll hear our sire; above its loud hosanna, he'll criticize the lack of pies and kick about the mama.

This is merely suggestive, for the amount of extra work entailed possibly would make such measure prohibitive.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
"Reminiscences of Florida

I had a Imaginable experience one day while in bathing at Miami Beach. The waves were rolling in about four feet high and the beach was crowded with young men and girls, the undertow was so strong no one dared to swim out very far so about the only thing we could do for fln was to stand in the water where 1t was about three feet deep and watch the waves come in and when one got near enough dive into it, as it would knock you over if you stood still. l dove into one and while under the water squirming around to get on my feet again the ends of my fingers on one hand came in contact with the plump anatomy of a young lady (you know they don't wear any stockings in the water, or hardly anything else). We'll when I got on my feet and looked around to see who I had been in, contact with. 1 saw a very disgusted looking young lady looking at me, and if looks would kill, no one would ever have read this account for I should have died right there. I had thought of offer ing some sort of apology, but when I saw that ferocious look, nothing doing with the apology and l moved down the beach where the bathing was not so dangerous.

 efforts our school has been raised to it's present degree of efficiency. And not only have they advanced the edu- cational conditions-they have made of our High School a Home School, which our students confess to leav- ing with regret. In former years, high school teacher concentrated on his or her given subjects, leaving all ; hOrght of social responsibility to the parents. Now our teachers have embued their pupils with class spirit and interest, and introduced to them social intercourse among one an- other. What with the enjoyable striving for funds for it's Washington trip thru food sales, dances, and plays, it's debates, it's French Club, it's school paper and it's athletics, together with the final Senior picnic banquet, reception and dance, the Class of '22 can but look back on a year teaming with wholesome, oleasurable interests. All this has meant added work and care for the Faculty, whose reward comes in the growing love and loyalty of the stu- dents. It is matter for deep regret that Miss Lucy Teague will not be with us in the fall-our sincere best wishes go with her in her own per sonal plans,-and a matter for con- graduation that Mrs. May Camp, who has so generously given herself to the interests of the Seniors, will continue on with us.
 Much can be said in praise of the Glee Club. The Cantata, charming in itself, was delightfully."- rendered at the Commencement and in a manner worthy of future members of the Choral Union. Canaan High School is indeed fortunate in it's teacher of music, whose years of cx- perience with the Choral Union un- der such leaders as MT. Paine and pr. Mees, and whose summer courses at Cornell University show in her work with this organization. The soft, singing quality of tone, that she has been able to obtain from these young voices, was rendered

Old timers say the storm we have been experiencing the past several days is a "line storm" Maybe 50. One thing it has knocked out of line and out of shape is the so-called state roads in the immediate vicinity. Which gives us one more occasion to rise and ask: "When will this town be given a small piece of concrete road, in order to make it possible to cross the street on a rainy day with out wallowing in the mud?"

YOU'RE RIGHT WE'RE WRONG

In another part of the News will be found letter from the Commits sioner of Motor Vehicles, Robbins B. Stoeckel, relative to an editorial which appeared in last weeks News. That part of the editorial to which the Commissioner takes exception, states that something is wrong in the office of the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles" relative to the reg istration of motor vehicles from this town and the town of Canaan.
 Undoubtedly the statement ap- peared more brazenly than was in- tended, but the error or omission was so fragrant and reflected upon our town in such manner that possibly the words were hastily chosen. Fur thermore, we could not conceive how over two hundred people could be wrong, so in order to find out in the shortest time possible we blamed it all on the Commissioners office. You can see with what results. But let us say right here that if we had not thought it possible to rectify such a misstatement we would have hesi- tated to even insinuate that some thing was wrong. with a department of the state that is as we'll organized and regulated as that of Motor Vehicles.
 
 The error of calling North Canaan Canaan" is due in part to the fact that the name of the town once was Canaan and when the town was di- vided it became North Canaan. Fur ther, maps, timetables, etc., still designate this town as Canaan, and practically the only times its correct title is used is in newspaper and other directories and Federal litera- tire. It is a costly error to the town, for should stranger look UT the population of the town of Ga naan (when he really wanted tc know that of North Canaan) he would not be impressed with the figures given.
 The Canaan's have been the cause of no end of mail matter being mis directed, or if correctly directed, tC be missent to another place. There is hardly a week goes by but wha we get some mail matter for Nev Canaan and some for North Canaan that was first sent to the forme town. Only today stranger stopped us to inquire where a Rev. Johl Moore lived on Maple street. Afte telling him we did not know tn gentleman or the street, he asked i this was not New Canaan He wa less than a hundred miles out of tn way.
