Mailed By U. P. Men To The United States
BY HENBY WOOD. (United Press staff Correspondent.) PARIS, July 7 (by mail). The cross of the Legion of Honor was today conferred upon a twenty-one-year-old Alsacian by the name of Alt as the. result of a most remarkable career In the French army, prompted solely by his great desire to see his native province of Alsace reunited to France. Alt's services in the Alsacian cause have now been cut short by the loss of one leg. Although the cross of the Legion of Honor is designed to recompense him in part for this, he declares the recompense that alone will satisfy him will be the ultimate return of Alsace to France. Alt has been from his boyhood one of the most ardent champions of the Alsacian cause. "When the war broke out he was at Toul. Although only 18 years of age then, he enlisted in the Frencfi Foreign Legion and made the campaign on the Tser. "With twentyseven tvounds in his body, he was left on the Belgian battlefield for dead, but was later picked up and taken to a hospital. The ("actors declare that it was his determination to get well and keep on fighting for Alsace that pulled him through.' Hardly was he out of the hospital than he was back in the French ranks demanding to be assigned to the most perilous tasks. Alt had been serving for some time as an observer in a large tree far In advance of the French lines. Eventually the tree fell under suspicion of the Germans and they at once surrounded it with a barrage Are that made escape practically impossible. The Germans directed shell after shell at the tree, until one struck squarely and felled it to the ground. In the fall. Alt received wounds that mado t impossible for him to flee. From n'ne in the morning until midnight Alt lay on the ground, hoping almost agninst hope. At midnight, the barrage ceased and a German sergeant and two soldiers crept out of their trenches to take Alt prisoner. He drew his revolver, waited till they -were close, and shot all three. French comrades reached the wounded Alsacian and carried him back to their lines. The Legion of Honor was conferred in Alt at the hospital where he is recovering from the amputation of his leg.

Thojgh bullets and billets First hold our attention. Still frocks, frills and filets Come in for a mention.
Lace, lace, lace! . This Isn't an admonition to pull your corset strings unduly. It is simply a general description of the most paramount detail of feminine fixings at the present moment. Lace these days means only one kind of lace, too, and that's filet. Tou know it's the kind with the square mesh like a modified Page fence. It's all on the square anyway, and has floral designs spreading over it, like vines on a trellis or else animals cavorting over Its cross-bars like the June bugs and bird-size mosquitos on our screened front porch. The real honest-to-goodness filet is of course the hand-made kind, to acquire whose square meshed lengths emeshes you In debt to great lengths. Dainty edging of the hand-made filet finishes collars and cuffs of the most exquisite lingerie waists as well as the lingerie frocks of Georgette, organdie or handkerchief linen and elaborate Insets and insertion, narrow or wide, garnish them to their fill with filet. Boudoir caps of the coarser meshed imitation filet are most attractive and one made from a yard length of very
wide all-over filet edging is simply and ! seductive. The lace is seamed together
and gatnerea ai ine apex. it nas a crust of wide satin ribbon holding It in closely around the headsize. The ribbon is set on about two inches above the lacy edge, which is left to flop softly around the face. The cap of cross-bar mesh is guaranteed to screen effectually a multitude of hair curlers. Cuff and collar sets of real or imitation filet have all the fairest femlnines around the throat and wrists. Indeed, a collar of any other lace save filet, is spurned with great choler. Handkerchiefs of the mode and the moment are bordered with the finest Bnd narrowest filet ed.ee and veils, though naturally not of the linen thread ape the ilt lace in motive and mesh. Though cn the surface of things you
would imagine all the filet was in full'
view judging from its prevalence, there Is also a great abundance under cover or at leas: partially so. It is most popular fcr lingerie garnishing and edges and trims wash satin, muslin, crepe de chine or Georgette chemises, nighties, petticoats and undervests in impartial perfection. That essential garment known mysteriously in Paris as a "cache corset" and equally mysteriously in London as a "camisole" we designate more sordidly and frankly as a corset cover or an under-bodice and by any name know It to be most lovely when made of all-
