Upon the farms of this •■alley all of « depended for much of Its toodt, for Its I ead. Its meat.

a master crimlna' as a barrier behind which be might hide and beat back bis pursuers. But American boys and English boys and French boys broke down that barrier, and they have today arraigned that criminal nl the world's bar of justice, where te Is being tried for his crimes. The American people are a part of the jury that Is trying him. and I have tried to present but a small fraction of the evidence against him. It Is safe to say that the verdict may be left with tye American people, with the French people, with the English people, with the Belgian people, and that they win sentence the Boche to pay and pay and pay for several generations until there has been bred out of nim and his children that Idea that might U right and that be can overthrow the dvlllzatloo and the freedom of the world to gratify his own selfish purposes. The crime Is greater than the Boche can ever pay for. It is really than the world will ever know, sad the Items In the long account of the criminal record of Germany will never all be recorded.

The happy flapper takes no thought as to the wherewithal she shall be clothed and her mother Is relieved of much responsibility also. For there Is a specialist for everything these days, and the specialists In flapper clothes have made the most becoming and exp re .si vc and fascinating things. for the little, growing bod of a schoolgirl. Sometimes they are naive and quaint and sometimes they are boyish; mostly they bespeak the romping schoolgirl, being simple and washable. But the, do credit to the specialist providing a variety of clever designs that Suit youthful wearers completely. Chamhrny, glnghntn, coarse linen and heavy cottons are the dependable and familiar materials that are translated Into unusual and Interesting school and piny dresses for spring. These make their appearance In the depth of winter, at the time that those wash goods In now styles and weaves are first presented in the shops. It Is therefore easy sailing for mothers who make or supervise the making of children's clothes at home. The new goods and the new garments are before them and there Is time for rewing. By way of showing how attractive the new styles are. here ire two model “everyday dresses" designed for spring. They have plain Skirts with jackets

thst pre something between the middy and the sweater coat. At the left the coat, or Jacket, buttons down the front with fiat pearl buttons and has a narrow hem at the bottom that pursues Its way without regard to the pockets that stand In its path. There ore four of those convenient and ornamental happy thoughts. Each has a turnover scallop at the top faced with white. The turned back cuffs are finished In the same Way and there Is an emplacement of white on the collar and two large, lint pearl buttons on the revere. Blue, tan. yellow or pink gingham, or linen, offer themselves as candidates that will dc all that is expected of them If chosen to make this dress. Heavy white cotton, with emplacements of plain chamhrny In a color, will account for the slipover that has ao ronrti originality to its credit In the dress at the right. Pcnrl buttons and slnralnt 'd buttonholes across the front arc unexpected and ornamental. The sleeves flare and are caught in with a strap that actually buttons at the wrist. This make* the laundering easy. The pointed turnover on the pockets Is dccorat-d with a button, and there Is a ' v« r set-ln collar In the colored goo Both these dresses are finished off with narrow belts of paten* leather that slip through straps of the material. 1 liey are worn with canvas shoes.

Records show that George Washington paid $2£00 a year for the use of the McComb mansion on Broadway while president of the Cnlted Staten.

Since separate skirts for spring have blossomed ont In airy fabrics—organdie, georgette and light crepy silks— there is but one character of blouse to wear with them. All the signpost* of the highways leading spring-ward point to dainty apparel of beautiful textu snd flowerlike coloring.

dressing, has set In.

Tliure Is a great variety of new styles In blouse? and In the material* jf which they are made. In cottons there are examples In batiste, dimity, organdie, net. voile. But for every cotton waist Just now there wvm to be two of georgette crepe—such U the high regard in which women hold this beautiful fabric. Halted frills, tine tucks, filet and other laces »|iarlngly used are the chief Items of ornamentstlon and sleeve* with a few exception* continue long. There are some examples In tin- new models thst fasten In the beck. The slipover styles are wall represented, nearly always falling to simply slip over the bead and accomplishing their fastening In the

back or at the sides and shoulder. A crepe dr riilne model to be worn with tailored or wash skirts appears ot the left with plaits at the front and small button* sei on in group*. Very small bead and embroidery motifs at each side show the tendency to elab- | orate even the tailored waists with a ' little cheerful color.
