Great Britain, when Lord Cornwallis

fleet under de Grasse and Barras, in
forcing: Lord Cornwallis and his army

These important historical faats are

valuable book, one of the most impor

yet critical. One interesting point is
that a new and intimate study .is fur

The American war had been for
five years in progress; for two years
a treaty of alliance, having as sole
object 'to maintain effectually the lib

recently the news had come of the
double victory at sea and on land of

been illuminated. The lights were

disaster of the same d'Rsraing at
Savannah. All France ..felt anxiou.s

had lasted so long: and whose end con-

Franklin was working busily for
American interests at Paris. One day
in March, 1780, a courier fr.om Klnj;
Louis arrived in search of Lieutenant
Oeneral .lean-Baptisto Donation de

years old, asking that Roehambeau

was to be placed at the head of an
army to be sent to the assistance of
the Americans. France was stirred up,
at remembrance of the harsh treaty of
Paris, bereaving France of Canada in
1763, and sympathy was expressed for
the Americans who were fighting for
'that natural liberty which God has
conferred on man."
Roehambeau, future marshal of
France, had been . destined for the
priesthood, but his elder brother died,
and he our noehambeau became a

. and was heartbroken when. In order
to save space on board ship, he had
to part company with two of his bat

with Roehambeau amounted to 5003
men. May 2, 1780, the fleet of seven
ships of the line and two frigates con

that f he character of Senator Pax ton
bears a resemblance in real life to that
of a certain Middle West Senator who
died some few years ago.
Pax ton tells the story, in the first
person singular. He decides in the
privacy of a- fishing trip that the
democrats had better be prevented
from assuming control of National af
fairs. Paxton, as a Republican, picks
out Rogers as the strongest man to
win, and sends -for Rogers and tells
him so.
Rogers is willing. Here is a de
scription of him, page 4S: "Rogers had
been a member of the House of Rep

nothing spectacular about him. to de

enemy's fire with such firmness.
It wfts at first feared that Rocham
Teau and his French army would be
sent to the West indies, but wisr
counsels prevailed to attack Cornwallis,
in the south. le Wrasse had come,!
and. while Cornwallis was on the de-'
f ensive at York town, the Ftench fleet
was barring the Chesapeake. Ee Grasse
had in the meantime defeated the Brit
ish fleet under' command of Hood and
Craves and the surviving ships had
been compelled to retreat to New York.
The description of the battle and
Victory at Yorktown is a splendid bit
of writing. The Yorktown garrison
marched out before the combined army,
"which was formed in two lines, the
French facing the Americans and in
full dress inform."
It is said in those days that labor
was expensive "and is paid ?1 per
day."
In 1 S2 Roehambeau returned to
France, and his army was sent to the
West Indies. He reached high rank in
the French army and died in 1807,
when he was years old. Napoleon
Bonaparte had great respect for the
old marshal.

BIG ADVANCE IN PRICE

both raw and manufactured silks be
coming very scarce, a rise is sure to
take place in this popular dress, suit

shops are still able to offer us taffeta
at reasonable prices, though this is one
of the silks most often mentioned in
the talk of silk scarcity, most probably
because it is so much In demand that
everybody feels sure it won't hold out.
All-wool suitings, such as serge and
gabardine, are also listed for an ad

;iace- feather Collars Popular.
The soft place leather collars and
cuffs which have been mentioned In all
the gprinir fashion notes, ah in use on
sporting- suits and coats, can now he
haif at the neckwear counters in sets
which arc ready for application t
these outer garment. We nie the
same fashionable colors used by - the
sport clothes des liners. Lemon and
canary yellows, red and rose tones,
dark blue, the much-favored liKht re
seda screen and deeper tones of preen,
etc. I do not know whether these
leather sets could be successfully worn
as separate accessories. but would
rather imagine that they should be
stitched onto the garment designed to
be brought up to date with their
adornment.
Man v green suits seem to have as
suddenly as mysteriously appeared, for
we have noticed no particular emphasis
laid on this color in the shop Sprint
openings. Yet there they are, and their
public wearins? shows them a fashion
feature to be reckoned with. Navy blue
has been so much to the fore of late
seasons that we siprh with relief to see
another color cominpr in and could al
most bless the dye situation, which is
making- this shade no longer a? pos
sible favorite.
Green Grown la Favor.
The green suits are smart tail leu rs
of the newest Spring cuts and materials
and the green shades themselves range
all the wav from very deep dark tones
up . to Erin greens, which would not
disgrace a St. Patrick's day parade.
A bronze boot could here be sug
gested as an excellent choice for wear
with a green suit. There are plenty of
them to be had in the shops, as bronze
Is said to be about to enjoy a big
vogue and these shades will be found to
rlook particularly well with darw green.
White shoes, or white gaiter tops, with
black patent lieather vamps, would
also add piquancy to suits of light or
bright green.
Next in popularity are the two-tone
checks, becoming familiar to us in
Spring velour fabric of a semi -sporting
nature. Here & pale coloi tone,
such as tan, gray or blue, has an over
check of black. The checks vary from
fine shepherd checks to big block af
fairs, or to spacings of black lines set
wide enough apart to almost be called
plaids.
These early Spring suits seen on the
streets have short jackets well nipped
In at the waist line and amply flaring
at the hips. The skirts so far seen
are short, full and plain.
ew Ideai la I'orketa.
A tailored blouse of rose-cohored
linen gave us a new idea In pockets.
Pockets on sport blouses are so com
mon that we had no hopes of ever
meeting anything yet untried until our
eyes were gladdened by this one. It
was a square pocket placed on the
underside of the linen waist and
joined to the waist itself with a row
of hemstitching. No pocket shows on
the outside of the waist front. There
was only narrow alit, bound flat with
a white linen binding edge and 1 h
square hemstitched outline. The in
vented' pocket, they called it and. by
the way, there were two of them, ona
on each side of the dimply buttoned
sport blouse, w h lh w.-is ta i lorcd as to
all its seams with the s.nn e line of
hemstitching and had a contrasting col
lar and cuffs. White, ruse color, blue,
reseda green and canary yellow can
bo had.
It may be well to note hrre. too, that
linen is anot her materia I which ma y
soon bo hard to obtain.
Slate olor I. iked.
The old-fashioned slate color appears
In some charmingly fashioned taffetas,
casino or afternoon tearoom frocks.
They are shaped on the simplest lines
of a straight skirt gathered t the
round belt line, and a round waist, flat,
but loosely fitted, with sleeves filled,
or immensely puffed at the elbow. The
collar rises hirh at the baek, leaving
the becoming opening in front. Mane
after this fashion is a dress of steel
gray silk, which has a wide sash of
black satin tht is tied in mi immense
bow just back of the left hip. Tho
neck and sleeves are finished with the
finest of book muslin with embroid
ered edges.
Anot her dress of th is same fashion
