HOSPITALITY TO
ALL AMERICANS
Generous Conduct By Holland
ers Praised By Returning
Secretary of U. S. Legation
at The Hague.
Waahington —Holland's generous hos
pitality to stranded Americans who
poured in on every side from belliger
ent countries was described today by
V. H. Merle Smith, of New York City,
who served as a volunteer secretary
at the American legation at The Hague.
He came here with private consular
dispatches for the state department.
“Though Holland herself has suf
fered Immeasurably from the effects
of the war. she has spared no pains
In her treatment of Americans. Her
commerce and fishing industries have
been badly crippled and many of her
home industries ruined. Thousands of
refugees from stricken Belgium and
Interned soldiers of the warring pow
ers have been cheered, sheltered and
fed by the government.
Draft* Guaranteed.
“In the financial flurry following the
outbreak of the war the Dutch foreign
office guaranteed all drafts endorsed
by the American minister, even when
there was no assurance that the pa
per would be redeemed in gold in tbs
Netherlands or could he safely s*»nt to
America tor collection. When the pa
per later was redeemed in gold at the
American legation no interest was
asked. Hotels gave unlimited credit
and offers of free lodging for Amer
icans poured Into the legation. On the
afreets ar.d In the cars the people of
Hollanu were ajways ready to direct
or lend their assistance to the trav
eler."

THIS DEMONSTRATION
Is to last for two weeks, but we would advise not
waiting until the last, and avoid the rush. To pro
vide a corset for every possible emergency is a
difficult problem, and which we feel quite sure
has been accomplished with the various models
of La Victoires. To give the modish and graceful
figure, and to give expression to individualism in
your dress you must be corseted in a
LaUictoire
This corset has been manufactured to grat
ify the desire of the woman who seeks a corset
that represents the most impressive imported
models at only a small fraction of the cost. Fea
tures heretofore unknown are presented in this
corset.
Attractiveness in Your Clothes
Depends entirely upon being properly Corseted.
The Wise Dry Goods
Company
One of the country’s
best experienced cor
setieres. The privi
lege of securing such
corset knowledge is
quite a treat to all
who wish to be prop
erly corseted.
