The effect ob- tained by soft draperies and pleats at the upper part of the skirt makes very graceful lines and is especially pretty in afternoon silk frocks. The sketch shows one of these models^developed >in dotted foulard. The waist of this design is particularly interesting, as it features the new kimono sleeve cut so as to form a part of the body of the waist. The curved line starting from the collar and going under the arm is seen in many designs and allows for the use of two materials, that most Your Wife's "Allow- ance** may not expand to meet the increasing cost of foods, but it will buy a suffi- cient quantity of Shredded Wheat to nourish every member of the family.

The London Times, which has re- turned to the reading circle idea as a means of saving paper, says that there are still people living in Lon- don who remember the days when the Times was sent around to var- ous circles for perusal at set hours in the morning, afternoon and even- ing. A resident of Fulham has sup- plied some interesting facts with re- gard to this system of distribution, facts which are the more interesting now that the scheme has come into operation again. In 1859 the Times was 4d a copy, and consequently many people could not afford to buy the paper regularly. Accordingly the newsagents started a .'icheme for lending the Times out on hire, they themselves taking every risk, for in those days there was no "sale or return" plan by which the newsvendors could forward their un- sold copies to the office. Mr. Henry Fletcher was one of the newsboys who was engaged in tak- ing the Times round in 1859, and he relates the methods employed. There were three boys for his district, and their first round was at 8 a.m. Cer- tain customers who paid their shilling a week received the paper at 8 o'clock. They kept it for two hours, when the boys called again and took it to the next subscriber. .\fter thit the tariff was lid a week for an hour a Jay, or 9d for two hours. None of the London newspapers had country agencies in those days, and, ronscquently, after the last per,son had read the paper it was posted to the country or abroad. Before this happened, however, the paper was passed on to subscribers who paid txl H week for the privilege of having the Times from (! in the evening until the next morning. Sometimes in the evening or the next morning the boys had to search for additional copies tor casual buyers. In those days all the papers were taken round the city on carts.

I spy has been collecting for the enemy." Mr. .\. examined closely all the lit- ter on the grass, but found not a thing even to warrant a hint of sus- picion that the soldier was a German spy. "There's nothing at all incriminat- ing here," he exclaimed, turning to the General. "There are some letters from home, quite harmless, a few pic- ture postcards, his pay book and an envelope with two five franc notes." "Oh, is that it?" The General scowled blackly at the soldier until the latter hung his head. Then he clear- ed his throat: "Well, my man, I want you to un- derstand this â€" a British soldier who does not salute a British officer is eith- er a spay or a fool. You, apparently, are just a plain fool." Thereupon, turning on hi.s heel, the General jumped into the saddle and started to ride off. But the General reined in for a moment and turned in his saddle, grinning down upon the soldier who stood at attention, half dressed, his belongings scattered about. ".\11 right, you can dress now!" said the General, and this time he gal- loped off. The story spread and there are few- er complaints now of inattention to the rules of the service in the British army. 50 YE.\rk.S OF WOOD PULP. Great Benefit of Utilization of Wood For Paper Making. It is just 50 years since the first wood pulp paper in the United States was manufactured, and it would be difficult to estimate the benefit this has conferred upon the world, for it was a step in the dissemination of knowledge, particularly current news, just as was the invention of movable types and the printing press, says the Portland Oregonian. It will be remembered by many still living with what care every rajf was saved to be converted into paper, and how the paper, after it had served its purpose at the printer's, was care- fully put aside for wrapping parcels. Those were days of automatically im- â-  posed thrift, which were followed by disregard of economics so widespread that already after only half a century we are confronted by a prospect of serious shortage of supply of the new raw material. Just as the supply of rags in the sixties would not have sufficed for ! growing needs, so it appears that soon there will not be enough wood pulp to go around. But we have grown so accustomed to finding substitutes when we had to have them that the eWorld is not alarmed. Expensive Neutrality The war has cost Holland $885,- 480,000, according to the latest of- ficial announcement, this sum having been spent on the upkeep of the mobilized army and navy, together with the supply of cheap food, the care of refugees, and the like. More- over, the rate of expenditure is rising. The last half-year the cost was |67,- 080,000, as against |46,000 for the preceding six months. With the ever- mounting cost of the provision of cheap food, the figures are expected to continue their upward course In the current year. > ,When Your Eyes Need Care Ui»eHurlne£)«Me<liclDe.

Supper OUR CITIZEN ARMY. .Vn Odd Way of Enforcing Discipline Employed By British General. They are laughing in the British trenches in France and. in the London duhs over a story of how an English General taught discipline painlessly to one of the millions of new soldiers England has made. The name of the General varies in the telling. Some say he is Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig. Others say the Irish General Gough only could have done it. Whoever he may bo, he cannot let the day pass without taking his rid*^-horseback. Though this General is known to most British soldiers, and though his uniform shows his rank, he passed one day while on his daily canter a private soldier walking in the opposite direc- tion. The soldier did not salute. The General stared a moment, puzzled whether or not to reprimand the man. Then a slow grin passed over his face. He turned to his aid. "We'll dismount, Mr. X.," he said, ' and then turning to his orderly and pointing to the soldier, "Trooper B, i arrest that man and bring him her«. He's a spy." 1 The General gave every appearance of being in deadly earnest. In a mo- ment Trooper B. had brought back the suspected man in a state of bewilder- ment and no little trepidation. The General then proceeded to order and supervise a search of the man. ! "Take off hl» coat! Empty his pockets! Take off his cap! Look In- ' side the lining! Never know where' these spies hide their papers," he ordered. "Make him take off his put- j tees, too . " Still in speechlens wonderment the' soldier helped Trooper B. execute \ these orders. In a moment he was standing with^almost all his kit on the grass. I "Now, Mr. A.," said the General I with great soverity," "y-ou know Ger- man.

The ceremonies of crowning the new Empress of Abyssinia, Zeoditu. took place the latter part of Febru- ary and lasted a week, which was ob- servetl as a holitlay throughout the country. The new Empress remitted all arrears of taxes and proclaimed general amnesty for criminals still at large. The Empress was crowned in the Cathedral of .\ddis .\beba at 4 o'clock in the morning. No foreigner was permitted to witness this ceremony, but at 8 o'clock the Empress look her seat upon a throne and received the diplomatic corps, most of the foreign residents and the principal .Abyssin- ian chief.<, who paid homage. The Re- gent. Ras Tafari, stood on the steps of the throne. .\n address was delivered by the Bishop of .\byssinia, after which the Empress read a proclamation to her subjects.
