Success of Diet Kitchens.
For six weeks I was at Montauk, repre-
senting the Red Cross Society which, to-
gether with the Massachusetts Volunteer
Aid Association established diet kitchens
in connection with the general and division
hospitals. On my arrival at Camp Wikoff
l found the kitchen department in very
serious condition. The officers, doctors,
nurses, orderlies and employees, as well
the patients, were procuring their food
from small building, presided over by an
army cook, and everything, in and around
the mess hall, was in dirty condition.
Rice and oatmeal were the principal diet
for the sick, and this was often burned
and badly cooked that the patients We're
unable to relish or retain #. The first diet
kitchen was established August 27, and
those at the three division hospitals soon
followed and this with one at the deten-
ton hospital, made system of five kitch-
ems covering radius of three miles with
force Of fifteen cooks, several dieticianS,
ten volunteers. and twelve detailed men.
These kitchens supplied carefully and scien-
tifcaiiy prepared food for the sick and con-
valescent, and the physicians and nurses
We're able to procure for their patients not
only liquid diets, but light and special diets
as Well One of our prominent physicians
remarked that his patients We're better fed
at Camp Wikoff than in any hospital In
New York city with which he had been
connected. The government soon realized
the value of the work, and two weeks after
the opening of the kitchens they were
turned over to the officials, and from that
with no cost to private enterprise the sick
soldiers of all the hospitals were served,
not only with homemade broths of beef
mutton and chicken but also with oysters,
broiled chicken, tenderioin steaks, chops,
jellies custards, etc"
This new enterprise In caring for sick SOL
diers deserves to be brought to the atten-
ton of the general public and should re-
ceive the strongest encouragement in the
event of another war.

Slow ambling to its goal,
The gourdhead spinning on his course,
The lean and lanky jowl;
The spider legs, with seesaw play,

The madly churning chump.
Where avenue and crossing blend
Without pause he flies.
His hump takes on a sharper bend,
And wildly stare his eyes.

Vast wilderness to lodge,
While souls heroic madly dare

And not a continental cares
Who may his rush oppose.

Escape by frantic slides.

Coming Styles For Children's Wear.
Some of the thin wash dresses fol
girls of all ages show tucks from waist
to hem, and others alternate tucks with
narrow, lace edged ruffles all the way
up the skirt. Bands of embroidered or
lace insertion are now much used OH
both waists and skirts. Narrow ribbons
are used as ruffles and rucheS and are
often applied GU the edges Of ruffles
where the material is light weight
Lace footing is greatly used for edging
ruff1es, being both childish in effect and
quite an inexpensive trimming. Bead
ing, with narrow ribbon run through
its meshes, is quite as popular as last
season, and is used ON both washable
and stuff materials. Sashes of all sorts
are much worn and are tied at the sides
or back, as one may wish. Occasionally
one is seen that ties in a soft knot di-
rectly in front, and has fringed ends
that reach the bottom of the dress skirt
White washable dresses will be worn
quite short, having bows of colored rib
bon and sashes matching the color of
the stockings, which this season are
brighter than last Black stockings are
of course worn, but very gay colors are
shown, both plaided and striped, as
