Belgium and aervia are tne nanas through which the spikes have been driven.

(By AaaocUtod Press.) Amsterdam, Feb. 13. The German press appears quite unable to regard Trotzky's announcement cf a state of peace between Russia and the cen tral powers with any feelings of sat isfaction. The Berlin Zellung Am Mittag thinks that the old chaos will con tinue and that therefore it will be necessary to continue to safeguard its frontier, both from a military and diplomatic viewpoint. The Berlin Tageblatt says: "We have peace with Russia be cause there is no Russian army, but it is a peace devoid of any solid basis and without agreement. The quad ruple alliance must now, as hereto fore, strive after a definite settlement in eastern affairs which will facilitate the establishment of peaceful rela tions with the Russian peoples."

My friends tell me that I am too particular. That may be, but when I buy wearing apparel, it simply must be right. Take shirts for instanoe. I'm a decided crank on them. . ; m4" . 'a . Attractive patterns and color effects oompel my attention, but it takes more than a "nifty" looking shirt to make me buy. 'r I want to know the make-up of the garment--to learn its workmanship from top to bottom. Then if it's a quality garment I buy without hesita tion, beoause I know the shirt will give me satisfaction. By a quality garment I don't mean merely a "good" shirt. The shirt must be right that is, it must combine all the essentials of comfort, style and long wear. It must fit right, yet have the roominess to permit freedom of movement. That is what I oall a quality shirt. " Any merchant in this town who 1 can show me a-shirt that will. come up to my requirements will get my patronage and it will be liberal I'm just a trifle reserved to mention my name in public at this time, and I hope there will be no objection to my signing a nom de plume.

Madainnij All Petticoats Are Not Alike Before You Buy Another Petticoat Make These Comparisons: YOU are mistaken, if you think all petticoats are alike. And you will do yourself an injustice if you buy an other petticoat without knowing wherein the difference lies. That's why we ask you, for your own ' sake, to make these comparisons. Compare the Waistband Pick up any petticoat at the waistband. See How the elastic is attached. Only on the will find elastic sewed through and through in such a way that you cannot stretch it to more than one-fourth its total length. All other elastic waist bands must "go dead." Only the EPPO waistband maintains its elasticity for years. Compare the Placket Note how the plackets are made. Compare others with the EPPO. Note that the EPPO placket is made in one continuous piece to eliminate any chance of ripping. See how the EPPO placket is re inforced with an invisible strip of canvas to prevent the glove clasps from tearing out. See how convenient is the side closing at the front. Look at the Bottom The braid-protected bottom, which is exclu sively an EPPO feature, will meet with your instant approval. No danger of the edge of your petticoat becoming worn or ragged, while the rest of the'garment is per- ' fectly good. This is one of the features of which we are especially proud. Other Considerations and Comparisons Consider the niceties of EPPO construction, the workmanship of the seams they're made to wear not merely to hold the garment together for a limited time. The two clasps at the top of the placket are not absolutely necessary simply ad ditional precaution against accident. So it goes through every detail of their manufacture no skimping always a little better than seems absolutely necessary. That's why we are willing and proud to sew our label in the waistband to identify it from other petticoats and . that's why we ask you in fairness to yourself, to com pare it with others. Try on an EPPO see how beautifully it fits how conveniently it fastens. Note the splendid materials and exquisite designs then make your choice. EPPO petticoats are made in best quality taffeta, jersey tops, all jersey, messa lines, wool jersey, and a wide variety of cotton materials. 50 shades from which to select.
