Swears Falsely
About His Age to
Enlist in U.S. Navy
A worried mother appealed to
Lieisenant Waddell to get her son
released from the navy.
Tears formed in her eyes and she
went away pondering ovej the best
course to, pursue.
The lad had furnished a forged
paper, purporting to be the mother's
consent to his enlistment, she said.
The boy is under 16 years of age, but
swore he was past 16, because he was
anxious to join the fighting forces.
"If you do not press the case," said
the lieutenant, "your boy will stay in
the navy and have no trouble. But if
jou do want to get him out on the
grounds that he misrepresented his
age and forged your consent, he will
get out of the navy only to go to
prison for his offense."
Names of the mother and son are
withheld by the naval officers.

Fashion's Reflections
Dotted foulards line and in some
instances trim many of the separate
coats for spring.
Looped or draped skirts are sure to
v-uiiic, anu wc win iikc tnem, too, tor
as advance models they arc graceful
mm ucconung.
Delightfully crisp, clean-looking
collars of organdie, and sometimes
cuffs as well, give the final touch of
smartness to navy serge dresses.
Expect to see many mannish-tail
ored suits, severely plain in cut and
nnisn, and. principal v in arav and
navy. Serges, twill and jersey are the
most generally used fabrics. ' v
Never were more picturesque styles
in veil draping adopted by brides than
those in vogue today. The old coronet
arrangement adding height to the fig
ure has given way to fillet and cap.
Stunning skirts are of oyster white
silk, made in gathered style with ex
aggerated pockets, the openings of
the latter stitched in manv rows with
colored silk. The skirt is hemmed.
Separate vests or vestees separate
or attached to the coat or jacket are
a spring novelty. These vests permit
ot an effective touch of color that is
very pleasing, because so many of the
suits are somber in tone.
Beads, silk and cotton floss, braid
ing and chain stitching are used sep
arately or in combinations of two or
three on dresses and blouses, and
sometimes on suits; and not infre
quently on coats, especially of a
dressy type, , .
Tea gowns are numerous and beau
tiful. Many are composed of two con
trasting colors, and most of them are
enhanced by heavy Oriental girdles of
beads or metal, or a combination of
both of these with heavy silk cord or
ritiDon.
When it coints'to the bridesmaid's
frocks there is no end to delightful
possibilities. Models quaint, pictur
esque, artistic, or merely beautiful in
conservative fashion are to be seen
on every side and extravagance is not
necessary, tor some of the most at
tractive things for bridesmaid's pur
poses are comparatively simple.
Broadcloth, plus pontine, makes an
ideal traveling and motor coat for the
spring trossrau. Pontine, with its
waxed, outer side and its inner side
of supple broadcloth, is immensely
utilitarian because it minds not wind
or wet weather and keeps one warm,
dry and comfy, whatever the day. It
is also and this is quite as important
from the bride's point of view truly
spiny, a word which expresses
good-looking, chic and utterly cor
rect, m two syllables.

A Stunning Springtime Suit
BLUE serge is the foundation of this suit, which manages to
do a great deal to so trifling a thing as a mere foundation.
The startling waist oat and collar are cut of cross-barred
pique, and the coat fastens smartly across them by means of
narrow black moire ribbon. Wide black Hercules braid binds
collar, pockets, cuffs and the flaring coat of the deeply cutaway
skirt. The hat is of rose-colored straw, crowned in pansie of
7ose-color velvet, so soft and pretty that one wishes they might
come true. And one little pansy peeks saucily over the brim.

The Romantic Season
By BEATRICEFAIRFAX.
There is wine in the air these first,
crisp spring days, and most of us are
Tairly drunk with the joy of living. A
dangerous state that, and one which
it behooves us to examine carefully.
Spring will "get" most of us unless
we very sanely investigate the things
which she is trying to do. to us, and
good naturedly refuse to be swept
out in the midstream as if we were
the broken-up ice crust of winter
which swirls down the spring freshet
and disappears.
Spring madness is such a pleasant
disease that one is tempted to yield
rather than to fight. All the strange
little emotions and desires which stir
are so delicious that it is a tempta
tion merely to rhapsodize over how
beautifully they fit in with the tiny
buds and leaves which are clamoring
up into life. But what do all these
"delicious" little symptoms of waking
life do to us? They drive us into
unconsidered follies of the emotions
and the pocketbook, and they prevent
us from keeping our minds on our
jobs.
Spring makes us long to throw off
responsibility and to get out into the
open. It gives us a longing for mere
living. Vaguely we crave companion
ship, understanding, love.
Of course, the first signs of spring
are generally epidemics of grip, orgies
of shopping and feelings of impatient
boredom with tasks which have been
satisfactory enough all through the
winter. Then comes a wild longing
for freedom, for self-expression, and
for the joy of loving. And prestol
the buds are out and it is spring made
manifest.
Whenever we have the desire for
love itself we are in danger! The
story of Queen Titania and Bottom
with his ugly head is a perfectly good
symbol of what spring madness can
do to any of us. No mischievous
Buck is needed to come and drop in
our eyes the magic dews from a flower
which shall enchant uf with the first
thing on which we look when wak
ing. Spring itself takes the place of
Buck, and her every flower is capable
of casting a spell very similar to that
of Shakespeare's "Love-in-idleness."

" "Our Patng9rt Af Oar Guett"
Druggist Says- ,
Black-Draught Best
H. R Flowers, druggist, ot South Creek, N. C, writes thia letter: 1 hare
been afflicted for many yeara and have tried many sorts or kinds ot medi
cine (or Indigestion, but the Black-Draught excels all medicinea I ever
:rted. I went to using your medicines when I ate anything It would soon
feel as though I were loaded down with rocka In my stomach , , . After
using your preparation my atomech teela like a new one." If you suffer from
indigestion, from a stomach that seems "loaded down with rocks" after
meala, thia druggist's experience must carry conviction of the merit of this
purely vegetable preparation, Tbedrord's Black-Draught Mr. Flowers used
many remedies and then says: "Black-Draught excels any I hare evel
led." Why don't you try it? At all druggists 25 cents a package. S-ll ,

! to tragic blunders which not al' the
: seasons to follow can undo!
i How shall one be safe against the
mischievous magic of spring even
nings? By slipping into a comfort
able, easy-titling garment ot numor
and common sense. People who wear
this garment don't catch cold in the
first breezes of spring, nor do they
suffer beyond endurance in the heat
of summer.' For it makes you aware
of the wonderful fact that the feelings
which possess you now may change
as the seasons change.
You good-naturedly smile at your
own longings and attribute them to
the season of the year, instead of to
yourself. Your common sense tells
you that spring madness is a pleasant
enough thing if it doesn't drive you
into madness, for which you may have
to pay through many a long summer
and autumn and winter.
If spring mad ess makes you want
to roam into the park and talk to the
first good-looking boy or girl you
see; or if it drives you to slipping off
on excursions with somebody else's
husband or wife; or if it makes you
lower your own standards of dignity
and revel in the caresses of some one
who means nothing to you, you had
better get out a few "Beware" signs
at once.
