CHAPT4II,
In the sitting -room of a very hand -
smug sutte of chambers in the "Al-

It was cold stud wet outsid, for
the month was December, and the
weather gloriously dismal; but with -
n, a roaring fire, a dozen wax can-
dles, and their reflection ia till plate,
gleaming' furniture and costly aitick-
neat' about the room, gave heat and
light enough to make the gentlemen
forget the wet pavements and the
thick fog.
The apartment was so high up and
so well doored and windowed, that
even the rattle of the cabs and 'car-
riages was not sufficient to remind
the gay pleasure bunters that some-
where was the world and somehow
they could not altogether escape it.
"Your deal, Beau," said one, cut-
ting the cards, to a dark, haadsome-
looking young fellow, with a face that
one would have called clever, if it
had not worn at that moment a so
thoroughly 'careless-, light-hearted
smile.
"Mine! jovel how it collies around.
You fellows will clear 'me out before
Jack conies." -
"Ah, dear old Tack?" exclaimed the
third, a tair, curly -headed darling, the
lady-killer of the party, and, in truth,
the hero of a thousand battles ending
disastrously to the 'fair sex.
There was a laugh all around at his
tone ot mingled pity and. esteem.
"What a fine fellow he is! 'Pon
my word I like -him every time Lee°
him better than the last. Poor old
Jack!"
"Is he coming, after all, Beau?

bold most everything, and blue sets

always in •good taste -much more so,
in fact, than expensive vases of decor-

For table decoration with a low ae-

are much used with a table mirror,

' Correspondents with the American
army in Germany note that the popu-
lation ,of the occupied districts is be-
coming exceedingly docile and ac-
commodating in attitude. We quote
from a cable dispatcli in yesterday's
Eveeling Sun. "The -Hun of teeleed
.and Iron' wishes again to become the
peaceful German of the beer gardens
and Christmas trees and treats the
American with eivility that is most
cringing. His home, his barn and
anything else he has are at the dis-
posal of the eonquerere."
We are told that a Gersten officer,
the owner of a ehateau occupied by
Colonel Theotaire Roosevelt, Jr., tele-
phoned a eordial niessaae of welcome
to his self -invited guest. The next
day he telephoned again, of tuRively
thanking the coIonal for having hon -
re e the ehateau with his presence.

world saw him in his first mood. Our
soldiers and the other allied soldiers
In Germany are going to see him in
his even more disgusting second
mood.
All his polltenees and humilittaare
a cunning appeal to the magnanimity
of his conquerors. But there Is no
repentance, no regret, no acknowledg-
ment of wrongdoing, The Germans
keep on whining about a distressing
shortage of food in Germany. But.
there is ihcreasing evidence that her
plight is grossly exaggerated. The
.Germans dmplain bitterly that the
conditions of the armietice are too
onerous to be fulfilled. But they are
giving most of their eneigy nowadaye
:to civil strife instead of to. fulfilling
them. They call Heaven to witness
and pity their mistortunee. But they
conveniently ignore the four years of
martrydom which they inflicted on
Belgium. and Northern France.
'What the German is most loath to
:think of ie reparation. He wants to
beg off. But justice and righteous-
ness cannot be served by letting' him
beg off. The attitude of the,British
government and the French govern-
ment towards him is not likely to be
affected by his sycophancy and his
snieelling. or should the attitude
of our owe government and people be
affected.
Germany committed a colossal ser-
ies of crimes. The first purpose of a,
an adequate penalty. Issues like the
freedom of the seas and a leagueof
nations should be conordinated at
_Paris to the arimary into of obtain-
ing full satleiaction from a still un-
repentant Germany. It will inevita-
bly work to German advantage if
these somewhat abetract and centre -
venial questions distract the peace
&inference's attention from the con-
erete and urgent problem of German
reparation.
Let us beware of mushy impulses
to sentimentalism and over -ready
torgiveness. For we have yet to set-
tle with what is uuregenerete, impla-
cable and criminal in German nature.
