AN ALUASCK WITH FKANCK The already complicated problem of the peace treaty becomes still more intricate end perplexing by the addition of the special "agreement" with France which the president is to submit to the senate. -. This tentative agreement provides that the United States shall be bound to "come immediately to the aid of France in case ot any unprovoked act ot aggression .directed against her by Germany." A similar agree- 7 ment haa been drawn up ' tietween France and Great Britain. Thus 1 America, and Great Britain, it they ratify this pact will stand together aa guarantors of, French safety against any possible attack hereafter Uke that of 1914. Many Americans who are ardent advocates ot the league' will hesitate against any such binding pledge to stand aa the defender of a particular eoQatry. " - I It la argued that this is an obll gatlon that would devolve upon Brit ain and America anyway under the provisions of the league of nations.. It is intended, clearly enough, sim ply to reasure the French, who will have more faith in such a direct pledge than they seem to have at present in the league. From the Am erican standpoint, however, it ' is open to the objection that it appears to constitute a definite alliance with a particular country, thus toeing op . posed to the oldest and strongeet diplomatic tradition of the United State. ' ' Americans generally have taken the stand that the only thing which . will make foreign alliance tolerable Is an alliance with all foreign coun tries at once, such as the league of - nations contemplates. That would avoid the rivalries and special inter ests hound to grow out of any alli ance with an individual nation or a limited group of nations, which is the thing against . which George Washington delivered his celebrated warning. There Is no question as to the Americas attitude toward France. The United States would probably he glad to fight for France again, If need arose, for the love and grati tude they ,toear that country. It : would probahly be true again, too, as It was in this war, that in defending France we should be indirectly de fending ourselves. But it is doubtful whether the nation Is ready to give formal pledge to this effect. William Jennings Bryan says of the proposed agreement with France: ' ' ; "I am not In favor of an alliance iwith any country. -An alliance would , discredit the league of nations. It would proclaim lack of faith In the effectiveness of the league and would e a destructive force working from within against the perpetuity of the league."

'All you have to do Is get your flivver shipped across. That's all. "Let allied unity continue," says Lloyd George. Amen to that! Unit ed we stand; divided, Germany would laugh at us, evade all .her re sponsibilities and plot new robberies and conquests. The trouble with Holland is that she imagines she's hostess to the el- kaiser, and thinks she ought to live np to the traditions of national hos pitality; when as a matter of fact she's only the temporary custodian of a fugitive from justice. Yes, there is "honor among thieves" auch honor as thieves are capable of. The German war-makers are all standing together now. "The cost, of living will go still higher," says a dispatch.

Styles for spring. In blouses and sheer frocks, show a return to band sewing and to hand made laces known its "real" lace and thus distin guished from machine made laces. Some machine made laces do not suf fer by comparison with the band made article and both varieties are worth caring for. Ordinary laundering Is out of the question for tbem; they must be bsodled carefully. Now that the touch of real lace Is a mark of style and of distinction in dress for spring, valuable heirlooms will either have to be sent to the cleaner or cleaned at home, in order to reappear In milady's outfit for the new season. Lace should be soaked before it la washed. Prepare the water for this soaking by adding a teaspoonful of borax to every two cupfuls of boiling water nsed. When the soiled lace hss soaked a few hours or; overnight in this water It will wash easily. Make a lather of hot water and any good soap. Take the lace from the water In which it has been soaked and place it In the soapy water, squeezing It, s If It were a sponge, until It Is clean. If the water becomes very dir ty prepare a fresh supply and squeeze the lace In it. Then rinse In clean cold water until all the soap is re moved. If after this proceH the lace still has a grimy look It may be boiled. To boil lace put It In a jar and cover It with cold water and pour Into this water a little melted white soap. Stand the jar In a saucepan with water enough to half cover the Jar, put the lid on the pan anil boll for two hours. Lingerie laces may be Ironed by prexxlng them under a tbin clean mus lin and finally pulling them out with the Bngers. They must be thoroughly dried by Ironing or they will roughen up afterward. Ironing will serve for the heavier and sturdier laces but some fine and fragile varieties are washed and dried by the following process: Wind the soiled lace round a good sized bottle, unit then cover the bottle with thin muxlln. tucking It on.

Re move the bottle and rinse In several clear cold, waters. Take off the mus lin and let the lace dry on the bottle. If a little stiffness In the lace Is de sirable, dip It In skimmed milk. Then fold the lace In a damp cloth until ready to pin out. Lace may be pinned ont on an Iron ing board or On a wooden drum which la first covered with cotton wadding and over that with white muslin. Pin the lace along Its straight edge, set ting the pins close together and at equal distances apart Then pin out each plcot separately. If the tare dries before It Is ail pinned down, dampen It slightly. Use non-rustuble pins, choosing fine ones for tiny plcots and larger ones for heavier laces. When lace Is old or fragile, or very much soiled, It should be soaked for several hours in pure o!1ve oil before washing. To Look "Paintable."
