French girl describing the coining of
the American soldiers to France us she
is supposed to remember It :
" 'And imm to stmul TjoKlfle our

An aerial tank has been Invented
nnd put into' practical nse by Italian
soldiers who hnve astounded the world

gun emplncement was so situated 'on
a mountain side that It poured a -harassing
lire Into nn Italian post. The
Austrian position 'was unassailable by
ordinary menns, hut It was necessary
that it ho wiped out. A "Telefwlca"
car, mnny of which nre operated by
the Italians across chasms and tip
mountain sides, was armored and
equipped with machine guns. Volun
teers were culled for, and from fbe
ninny who responded two were chosen
to man the guns. This improvised
aerial drendnuught was. then swung

Salvage.
The following letter was written by
the wife of a mlin fighting overseas to
a member of the Salvage club, an offi
cial organization for preventing war
waste:
' "Dear Sir: I called nt your office on
Wednesday nt one o'clock, hut was told
you wore engaged on salvage, nnd that
I could not see you. I wanted to ask
you nbout Port's teeth what he lost

that your Salvage club .what they

1 K'ow that women feel It a duty td
make afternoon gowns do sqrvlce for
evening wear, the Ingenuity of costum
ers Is put to the test. From one of
the great Paris designers comes, the
lovely gown pictured above and It Is
a trlumpliof French discernment nnd
good tame? for It Is quiet enough for
daytime near and distinguished
enough for evening. It Is of black
satin with embroidery In silver thread.
This combination appears also 4n
French millinery from the most au
thoritative sources, but In hats black
frame velvet Is used Instead of satin,
i We may accept this gown as a crite
rion In hues and general make np of
styles for the coming season. It has
-narrow, pjatn underskirt of moderate
length and a straight hanging overgar
ment vaguely confined to the figure by
nn easy girdle terminating In sash
ends. The girdle Is made of satin
and that portion that encircles the
waist Is embroidered while the sash
ends are plain. The skirt portion of
the overdress Is as long as the under
skirt at the buck and considerably,
shorter in front This Is new de
velopment of the' tunic skirt which
is destined to reappear In . winter
gowns. The embroidered band on the
hack portion Is not so wide us It Is on
the front. . r
The sleeves and collar are especial
ly Interesting because ' they are both
new departures. Both are as plain as
possible but each Is original. The
sleeves are cut full' length and flaring
but are trimmed away at the wrist Un
til the npper portion extends only a
few Inches below the elbow. ' The up
standing collar Is of black crepe georg
ette and Is supported by a few very
small, unnotlccable wires.
Satin In' black and In dork colors,
promises to be of all fabrics the most
used for afternoon gowns. New drap
ed skirts and new tunic skirts appear
and silver tinsel In embroidered bands
is suro to be followed by silver lace
in conjunction with them, r
