Zebras.
The Zebra is nothing more nor less
than a mule who had its choice of be
ing black or white, couldn't make up
its mind on either, and finally decided
to take a little of both.
We have the zebra to thank for
some of our latest styles in ladies1
hose. And the only consolation we
have is that a woman's stocking may
change, but a zebra never does. He
in doomed to be forever running vari
colored ciroles around himself.
Next to snakes, the zebra is the
most perfect case of delcrium tremens
in the animal kingdom.
But the zebra's case isn't utterly
hopeless. His stripes are bad, but
he might take lessons from a peroxide
blonde.

America s entry into the .war found
Pnris unprepared in American flags.
Even before Congress had debated
President Wilson's war proposal,
Paris department stores had to admit
that the demand for the Stars and
Stripes exceeded the supply. Hardly
a street m tno csipitol lacked one Old
Glory". Even small Amorican flags
to be worn on coat lapels were gone
Lns soon as the larger ones. French
men bought them as eagerly ns Amer
