Them.

London, Nov. 27-Premier Bruce Of Aus
traia is in bad grace with the Tailor and
Cutter" the London trade magazine which
voices the DEGREES of style dictatorst Mr.. Bruce
wears spats.
And why does Mr. Bruce wear spats?" asks
the Mortified Tailor and Cutter" They are
not an Australian fashion. Neither are they
worn nowadays by smartly dressed men In
London. Spats are essentially dandy article
of attire but they belong to the vogue of yes
teryear."
1t is related that after a garden party at
buckingham Palace the strawberries were
showed under with white spats discarded
by AmericarS who, at the last moment found
out their mistake. The Americans took their
courage and their feet in their hands and
flung away the offending spattered ashes. To

Go thou and do likewise
Australia's answer is that England has her
self to blame for Mr.. Bruces sartorial short

ANDREWS FINDS STILLS
HIS GREATEST PROBLEM
Director of Dry Law Enforcement
Work Believes He Has Snug
Cling Situation in Hand.

Washington, Nov. 27 tP}-A pro-
hibitive price for liquor is the aim
of Assistant Secretary Andrews,
chief of the dry forces.
General Andrews admits he sees
no immediate prospects of the de-
mand for liquor in this country fall
ing off so he is going to try and
solve the problem by cutting the sup
ply to the point that the price for it
will necessarily stop the thirsty.
Andrews sees his greatest prob
lem now in the endless growth of
large liquor stills and he is directing
his main offensive against these. He
feels he has gotten the upper hand
on smuggling and that the end Of
alcohol diversion is in sight,
Lauding the make up of his re-
vised personnel. Andrews said to-
day he would carry on during the
coming year without any Increase in
appropriations. limiting the cost of
dry enforcement to the $13,000,000
allotted for this fiscal year.
Under the appropriation for the
year. General Andrews was able to
add 500 men to his staff and he new
believes this organization sufficient.

PAJANIAS FOR PALM BEACH.

Paris dressmakers are presenting display
of pajamas for Palm Beach, bathing suits for
Miami and sports costumes for the American
Riviera in general, that seldom has been
equalled in the history of the trade.
New kinds of pleating exhibited In
pajamas both in coats and trousers. The use
of cotton Materials both in wolfe and crepe,
gives the artists scope for genius.
Two colors, sometimes three are used in the
Palm Beach pajamas Rich led ostrich. for
example. is used on the coat Of the suit while
the broad trousers are of pink satin. Oxford
bags have made their appearance in the paja-
ma world, but the idea does not appear to
have become popular.

THE KIND THEY ADOPT.

Tair-haired baby girls with blue eyes are
most in demand by adopters said Lady As
auth at an "at ohme" given by Mrs. Stanley
Baldwin in aid of the National Children Adop
ton Association at No. 10 Downing street.
Nobody appears to want little boys" Lady
Asquith explained, land we have terrible
time getting rid of them at all"
The reason is, it seems that the little boys
go off to school, so that the parents do not
get the same companionshp as with a little
girl
More than 1000 children have passed
through the society since it was organized in
1917.
The Prime Minister looked in at the party
for only a moment as he explained that he
had to hurry away. as he had a lot OF babies
already on his hands-the largest and most
troublesome of which was the tie-up in the
coal industry-which nobody cared to adopt.

Street cries of England are strange and in

coal wood and foodstuffs form constant pro-
cession through the streets each with a pecu-
liar song or cry.
Some of these cries have been shouted down
from generation to generation They are to

VOTES AGAINST WAFFLES.

London has voted against the American
waffle.
Just about year ago great firm OF cater
ers put the crisp and toothsome American
connection on their menus. Maple syrup, So
called, was imported to pour on the waftles.
For few months they were popular Then
the demand dwinded and finally disappeared.
The caterers attempted to revive interest in the
waning waffles even tried putting an egg in
the batter but staid old London held .aloof.
The caterers say the explanation is that eat
ing is serious business with the English
Bacon and eggs. beef and boiled potatoes stick
to the ribs in cold weather. Waffles may sat
isfy American appetites, but they scarcely
arouse English curiosity as food.

NEW POSTAGE STAMPS.

One of the excellent features of the new
series of postage stamps is the fact that the
government has at last provided a 25-pfennig
stamp--the cost of mailing letter from Ger
many to foreign country. Americans stamp
ing their letters for home no longer have to
buy two three stamps and plaster up the
corner of their envelopes with them to make
up the proper amount. The new 25-pfcnnig
variety. carrying a classic three quarter face
of the great Goethe, will suffice.
