Your emotions can be measured and registered at Maudsley Hos- pital, London,

With the assistance of Miss Olga Nethersole and Miss Lillah McCarthy,

the wall-known sotrasses, striking experiments were conducted on the "emotion- ometer recently."

In a darkened laboratory in the basement of the hospital. Miss Nethersole's beautiful voice was uttering a sad passage from Par men Sylva's "Necklace of Tears."

From the darkness came the voice:-

The Child longed for a necklace of silver more silvery than the moon at midnight. More silvary than the stream

in the pale moon's beams.

She said to the River, Lend me

She said to the Moon, give me

But the Moon said. The dark

night reeds my light,

And the River said, The dry

earth waits for me.

Then Man said, Take our tears, and of them make thy necklace.

And each man gave her his

dearest tear.

And the child had a necklace-

But when the child wore her necklace the tears told their

story.

And each one told the sorrow of a heart, and each one deemed itself the saddest. Immediately in front of her Was square of light flung & screen from A highly upon sensitive instrument. The actrees; had her first and second fingers dipped into two tabes of water to connect up with the "emotiono-

BY MARIAN HALE

There is one consoling thought

for the woman who was born too early to be a flapper.

It is that while many of our

fashions are shown upon isn- talizingly slender figuraa, most of the modes may be adapted to

almost any avoirdupois.

Naturally bouffant garments are the flapper's very own.

Bat the straight lines and flowing sleeves, the adaptation a1 the straight lines, belong to al- most any age and figure.

The long-waisted effect, with oording over the hips, and the long shoulders with full sleeves tend toward grace of figure.

The desiges of bead, em broidered in two rows on the sleeves and skirt and one around the neck, add that touch of gaiety which all the season's frocks demand.

IMPOSSIBLE AIM.

Two specific instances have been given to me of decisions rade by General Nollet that need explanation. At the Wolfgang factory, near Hanau, the Comi mission consented to the erection of a building with four furnaces, and, because a reserve furnace was added, General Noller has ordered the demolition of the building. Yet I am assured by experts that a reserve furnace is a necessity which would be added by any practical person.

General Nollet revealed that in a recent interview with representa-i tives of the Erfurt workmen, who assured him that they would never again consent to make war material. He said that he might take their word for it. but could they speak for their children?
