.The sergeant seemed undecided as
to whether to thrown him out o£ take
him seriously. ITien he asked the f'ap-
tjiln. The captain assumed an attitude
of deep thought and. murmuring some
Inaudible plea, retired to his back
room, where he telephoned the iiiujor
at the war department. “Just hold the wire," the major answered and
rushed to the colonel. \
“That,” said the .colonel, “Is a matter, which requires some deliberation.
I will send you the desired Information in a moment.”
When thq majt»c,had departed he frantically called up a hand leader at
Washington barracks and learned that- the ufore-ipentioned Instrument Is
something like a bassoon, and is taught In the army. Whether or not Its simil
itude to a bassoon made the character of the sarrusophorfe more comprehen
sible to the colonel he made the following notation to the major:
“Of course the contrabass sarrusophone Is taught in array bands. It
resembles the bassoon und Is a very Important Instrument."
“You should have all that Information at your finger’s ends," the; major
telephoned the captain. “The Instrument you speak of is like a bassoon and
our bands would sound fiat without It.” * -
What the captain told Jhe sergeant is not known, but the sergeaat told
the prospective rhcrntno^slgn the dotted line.
He also added—to himself—that this “baboon” business was new to him

For when it was decidej to fashion this season’s skirts from hides .of the

thereon thereby. —\
The sons and daughters of, William and Nanny Goat are such little fellow*
that, V you’re adhering to a one-skin-skirt principle, that skirt has got to be

In formed years Parisian designers have worked to please the American

every one else.^
Now It transires that during the war the French women have become
