One of the smart-est notes for spring Is the short-jack-siMirts A type which leads develops the Jacket of guy striped ma-terial htar-e-r stripes, candy stripes. Itoman stripes, onilire stripes, any pat-terning you like, just so It Is striped At sunshine winter resorts the vogue for white with color Is expressing Itself In white sleeveless flannel, pique or crepe frocks topped with blazer striped flannel Jackets. Many of the checked and flowered printed silks, too, are bordered witb st rl ies. which most often stress effects. Perhaps stripes are at their best In the patterning of the new scarfs. At any rate flamboyant especially beige and tana, were th smart thing fur coats, now the mode culls for bright color. Soft green Is a particular favorite with stylists at present nnd It Is said Ihut spring will see it outstanding. Blues, orchids and bright red are also cited In advance messages from style centers, with re-newed emphasis placed on navy. From Purls comes the modish In the picture. It emphasize the vogue for soft light green In that the handsome suedelike clotb of which It Is mnWe Is In that color. The gray caracal , which trims at neck and wrists produces together wltb the green cloth s most effective color scheme.

Fetching dress fabrics font tire stripes In two tones of the same color. The woman who does her own sewing can make no mistake In selecting a soft rayon and silk crepe In two rones of blue or green, or brown or any ol the preferred new colors. That ni.i terlal of this sort Is a happy choice Is readily told by the charming after noon frock In the picture, which l fashioned of rayon striped crepe in two tones of blue. The Intricate matching and arrange- I this form of plaiting Is considered tres chic In the realm ot Junior ensembles there is noililng prettier or more de-lightfully wearable than the costumes which combine printed silk or ruyon fabrics with cloth. The print is used for the dress, ulso for the lining of the cont, the latter made either of tweed or smooth-face- light woolen. This compose is worked out In scores of Interesting ways. Probably the simplest Is the one-piec- e frock which, by the way, Is very apt to tw sleeveless, for sleevelessness is a much exploited theme when It comes to styles for the tiear future.

Not Perfect An alumnae of a nearby college wus J entertaining her former history pro-- j fessor at dinner, much to the Interest of her three small sons. Jack, the eldest, kept eying the professor close-ly, and finally, after dinner, he asked, "Mother, you say Professor Smith was your history professor?" "Yes, sonny, and a splendid one, too." "Well," pronounced the observer, "lie has a hole In his sock."

I Hailed a3 First Military Genius Historians seem to have acknowledged that nothing new can he said on Wash- - lngton's character, statesmanship or patriotism. Noth-ing old can be said on these subjects with much chance of being better phrased than Hy-mn's Immortal summary of hlrn: The nrst. tha lnt. the !"t. The Clnolr.nntun of the Vst, Whom envy durrd not hate; or Kipling's more detailed present-ment In "If." Hut In spite of nil that has been written on the mun, few stu-fent- have taken Washington's full measure as a soldier, nnd tewer still realize how far he prefigured the sci-entific and Industrliil age in which we are living today. The average person thinks of a great general as one who commands n great nrmy. It would he possible to get to that by which Napoleon caught General Mack asleep at Ulm. No Errors Mar Record. n' one point of military genius. In deed. Washington Is superior even to the Corslcim Cnesar, who In all things else rmiks at the head of the martial world. No. man can put his fingers on any point In Washington's cam-paigns and sny: "Here tills mnn made a serious mistake." The soundness of his Judgment was almost uncunuy. I'crhnps this judgment was due In some measure to the scientific quality of h!s ndniL Ills approach to science vwin more practical than that ol Franklin, hut equally zealous. Wash-ington conducted experiment nfter ex-periment In drainage, crop rotation different methods of fertilizing. Ills Holes on these mutters are worthy of attention from agrlcnitnr.il colleges today.

Washington was startling!)' modern in many as-pects of his mind. Where this mod-cnlsi-falls. It might pay us to get closer to the Wnsblngtnntan viewpoint even at the cost of being somewhat old fashioned. farther from the truth than Hint, but not without prolonged effort. There Is a point ot which the mere size of an army taxes the genius ot Its com-- , mander; hut that point was not reached until the Twentieth century. Judged by the rent test, that of achievement In proportion to means and obstacles, Washington Is one of the four or five greatest commanders produced by the F.ngllsh-spenkln-race; probably the greatest. Greatly Handicapped. Consider his difficulties. o begin with, he was Rervlng a revolutionary committee, not a real government: nnd was not backed by any of the governmental powers which supported Kitropetin commanders. The congress of that day could not levy taxes, could not enforce conscription, could not pay Its men or provide tupplles. The men were enlisted for varying terms, .t always for short terms. The off-icers had little training. The different colonies were unaccustomed to act to-gether. There was only the beginning of a national feeling nnd national consciousness, and the British, what-ever their weaknesses, had splendidly disciplined troops and held the sea. Vet, In the face of obstacles like these, Washington kept an nrmy to-gether and made headway against the enemy until he could deal the finish-ing blow at Yorktown. The skill with which lie milled Clinton to New York while the Continental army was making Its march to catch Cornwallls at Yorktown Is fully equul The Impottible Woman Hlg, strong mnn like yon begging.
