Lovely dress of pale pink voile, beautiful with drawnwork and bands of filet lace, and narrow sash of black grosgrain ribbon; many models similar to this are entirely handmade. How two materials combine into a charming whole is pictured in the pleated dress of pink linen, with front and back panels of embroidered voile. A navy blue and white figured voile is worn in overskirt effect over an underdress of dark blue voile, and relieved by a collar of embroidered white organdy; while copen blue linen is distinctive with embroidered voile in- serts, lace trimmed vest and many white crocheted buttons. Organdies and dotted swisses, in both dark and light summery colors, are seen, and with widely varied assortments and interesting pricings noth- { ing is lacking to make selection easily successful. ‘Women's Dress Section, Third floor.

COBLENZ, June 1.—The small muid,' Kitty, who takes care of my room in the Hotel Zum Traube on Rhine- strasse, in Coblenz, brought the re- quested bottle of ink, and then stood, reluctant to go. Obviously, she want- ed to ask for something. It took some time for the question to be formu- lated—she assured me that she pre- ferred to speak English—but when it finally came. it was this: Did the American lady know how long it would take for a letter to come to Coblenz from the military prison at Fort Leavenworth? Kitty, it devcloped, had had an Arserican sweetheart. and he had been in trouble, and had been sent back to prison in the United States, and she had not had a letter for four months. 1t was not, the American lady was to understand, that Kitt sweetheart had been to blame. i had had bad companions and had done whatever he was being punished fo! Kitty was rather hazy as to what it was—not knowing it was wrong. She had had no other swectheart since he was gone, because she really cared for him, and she was very lonely. Kitty says that she does not go out Sundays because she has no.sweet- heart and no nice clothes. She earns 125 marks @ month as a chamber- maid. U. 8. Soldier a Rich Man. Kitty is one of the uniucky girls— “frawlens,” the solldiers call the of Coblenz. The lucky ones have sweethearts who stay, who take them to restaurants and buy them good meals, and Sometimes, too, provide them ' with pretty things to wear. For to the lucky girls of Coblenz the American private soldier, with his dollar (and more) a day—a dollar is worth more than 60 marks—is a rich man. He is in a position to spen money, and spend it he does. The are girls in Coblenz who are plump and better fed now than they were for several years before the Amer- ican forces ‘came from Trier and planted their flag on the summit of the heretofore impregnable fortifica- tion of Ehrenbreitstein, just across the Rhine. A soldier. who was at one time in the censor's office. says that he read in the letter of one prominent man citizen, just after the Americans | {4 came: “I looked up to Ehrenbreit- stein this afternoon and saw American flag there; 1 went home and all afternoon I was very sick. But in spite of the emotions of prominent citizen, if the flag were to be lowered from F breitstein tomorrow and the Ameri- can troops were to be withdrawn, there would be more sorrowing than rejoicing in Coblenz. The patriots would rejoice, but the girls and the would mourn and be exceeding Sammies Trig and Smart. The American occupation has meant romance to the girls of Coblenz, and | good focd, plenty of it, and the com- bination s sweet. The American sol- dier in Germany is, in fact, a soldier to gladden the cve of any girl of an nationality. He is trig and of an un- precedented smartne: For one thing, he has discarded, al- most _universally, the fuzzy, i government issue uniform with which he departed from the states.

He knows that the Americans, with their usual im- peceable taste, have picked out one of the most beautiful spots on the Rhine for their occupation. He knows that he has more money to spend than the — EADERS of THE WASH.

Iuiterates Disappearing. Peter A. Talp, consultant in educa- tion, American forces in Germany, savs that a year ago there were 300 illiterates—counting both that class of immigrant men who, educated in their own tongue, were still ignorant of English, and those who had never learned to read or write in any lan- {Buage—and that with the close of the present school year in June the Amer- ican forces in Germany will have not one illiterate. The instruction pro- {vided for all men classified as illiter- ates is compulsory. Enrollment in vocational training classes is optional, subject to the ap- proval of the commanding officer. but cnce a man is admitted to a course of instruction attendance is manda- tory, just as at any other military duty. Among_the optional courses i8 one of scientific farming at & thirty- acre farm a short distance from Cob= lenz. ~About fifty men take the in- struction on this farm where they learn animal husbandry in all its |branches as well. The farm furnishes certificd milk for the babies of Amer- jcan familics who would otherwise have to struggle along, as the German babies do, on milk which is canned or of doubtful quality. It also furnishes meat and vegetablcs for the commis~ sary and flowers for officers’ wives. German Langunge Maltreated. And while some soldiers are study- ing fn the schools furnished them by | the American industriously taught by the Kittie: Fredas of the country. The American soldier probably talks the world's {most immoral German; he is utterly promiscuous with its genders, and icult and exacting “he,” t" of the German lan- guage with a sublime indifference and crimination. But his “frawlen” talks English as he talks German, and the two togecther form a language which is weird as to syntax, but un- paralleled for lovemaking. And so the American boy here fin Coblenz works and drills and studies and drinks and dances and makes and occasionally gets a very in a battle which may be with Germans and may, on the other {hand, be with a group of his fellow soldiers. He grumbles about the mili- tary police, and he grumbles about officers. but, on the whole, as he wanders down the narrow stone streets of Coblenz, or across the pon- toon bridze which connects that town with Ehrenbreitstein, or along the banks of the Rhine, down a tunnel of arched creen bou with his_hand clasped, man fashion, in that of his “frawlen.” he feels as the “frawlen” does—that the occupation. whatever it may do to Germany’s national pride, isn't at al] a bad thing—especially now that it's summer. —_— FOURTEEN IN CLASS. lCertjflcates Are Given Graduates in Divine Metaphysics. ix-week course in divine fourteen men and 4 graduating certifi- ercises held at the Church red the ce the graduates were ordained as min- isters of truth by Dr. Green. : | The graduates are John Fay Many, | Frederick Knapp McNeil, Gertrude V. | She .
