WOMEN OF WARTIME.
Ready and Anxious to DO
Their Part--Stay at Homes.

The clubwoman is going to do her part
In the war. She has never seen hostilitiesl
before, but that did not prevent her from
getting right to work the moment Uncle
Sam decided to thrash the dons. In spirit
the new woman does not differ greatly
from the old one, the woman of 1851, who
made herself so useful during days that
were really dark.
But the method OF the new woman Is
| different. The woman of 1851 knew moth
ling aboutc1uhs. The woman of 1928 knows
all about them. She belongs to half a
dozen. It was the clubwoman who first
began to talk of finding war duties. She
brought to the search enthusiasm if not
experience.
OF course some phases of her patriotism
are almost ridiculous. The women military
companies which have been formed here
and there and the surprisingly large crop
Of impressionable and romantic young
women who want to become daughters
Of the regiment" are samples. Yet the
male patriot occasionally does things
equally absurd, and on the whole the
woman of 1898 directs her efforts toward
practical things.
One of the first of the many organiza-
tions to be formed by the new war woman
was the Woman's Auxiliary corps of the
national guard. The founder of the first
branch was Miss Julia A. Burdell OF
Brooklyn, who was elected president of
the New York state corps. From a hand
full Of women gathered in a parlor this
body has grown to be an extensive organ-
~ization, which it is proposed to make ma.
tional in character.
Lacking wounded and suffering soldiers
for whom to make dainties, the members
began their work by preparing 81, 900
bags of muslin. In these bags
the amateur soldier is supposed to put his
salt, pepper, coffee and other dry groceries
instead of mixing them up in his haver-
sack as he would do if it were not for the
auxiliary woman. After this task is COM
! pleted they will take up another one.
They meet once a week and are prepared
to meet oftener if necessary.
Then there is the woman who to
be an army nurse and go to the front. The
fact that the war department. officials
have said that nc women nurses were
wanted at the front has not discouraged
her a bit. She believes that when the
tine comes her services will be acceptable.
Meanwhile she is busying herself by at
tending first aid lectures, practicing BAN
daging and almost hoping for some acct
Dent that will give her a chance to show
her skill.
The president and secretary of war are
receiving letters from patriotic women all
over the country anxious to be mustered
into service. 1t may interest some of these
to know that the homely woman has the

call. While tho typical army nurse is al
ways described by the idealist as a youth
full tender "angel Of mercy" with a beau
tiful face, generals in command of armies
prefer middle aged and homely women for
such service. A circular distributed by
the superintendent of nurses in 1851 read:
ono women under 80 need apply. All
nurses are required to. be very plain look
ing women. Their dresses must be either
brown or black, with 20 bows, no curls
or jewelry and no hoop skirts.
The pay given to nurses in the late war
was $12 a month, but it is said that hum
dreds of women of social and posi-
tion, without waiting to be formally mug
tered in, served without pay or hope of re-
ward.
The nurses during the civil war were
furnished by thu sanitary commission. II
any women nurses are employed In this
war, they will be supplied by the Red
Cross society, which has recruited its ranks
to meet the But it is by no
means easy to become a Red Gross nurse.
I The enthusiastic young woman who has
devoted her time to dancing and euchre
parties will find that she must show some
thing moro than enthusiasm before she
can wear a white cap.
In reply to inquiries as to the form OF
7 enlistment the regular application blank
and the following rules and regulations of
the order are sent out from the Red Gross
Hospital and Training School For Sisters
in New York:
elm order to become a sister of the Red
Gross the applicant must be Of unques-
tionable character and qualifications.
Further, she must % take the regular

all the soft c~olorings of the eagle plumes
and others again are pure white wings or
dyed ones. The bright spangles are not
at all ugly. The wings are set among flow
ers or draperies of the thin goods men
toned above or bunchy rolls of thin, glossy
SIX in colors which outyie the rainbow
Bunches of yiolets are very much liked,
and I think oftener seen than any other
flower, though all the others are repre-
sented.
Pearl graz, ashes of roses, tan and slate
gray are among the choicest of the colers
for very nice outdoor dresses. One ex-
quisite gown was of pearl gray ladies'
cloth, the skirt cut in two breadths.
Around the bottom there was a deep
braided design lone in fine white braid in
vermicelli pattern to the depth of 10
inches. Over this was laid another larger
pattern at intervals, in heavier braid. The
rest of the skirt was quite plain. The
bodice was a blouse completely covered,
the sleeves also, with u rich design or
braiding Carrying out the same general
idea.
We are on the verge of the natural reac-
/ ton after so much brilliancy OF ooloring,
and we find that black is suddenly a first
f~avorite and that all the stores are making
special displays of all black goods. OF
these silks naturally head the list, followed
! by the fine silk and wool mixtures and
! ~fancies, then the all woods and finally the
orepons and mohairs. Mohair in all the
variety of weaves is better liked than the
crepon.
Last summer more than one-half of all
| the light silks were blue or blue Il white.
This season opened with a little of every
thing, but, after all, the blue shades are
still more popular than any other color. We
find tho shades of navy, cadet, turquoise,
bluet, ~pervenche, forgetrnenot, violet. sky
and fax all in force and indigo, as well
as several unnamed shades. These out
number the green's, lilacs, tan, reseda and
reds and yellows. Indeed since the war
broke out there has been a sudden falling
off in the wearing of yellow, it being one
of the Spanish culers. All the shades and
colors mentioned above arc found in the
delicate lawns and organdies, and also the
barred ~taffetas and gauzes. Checks, in
spite of all efforts to replace them with
something newer, hold their popularity.

very narrow frill of red taffeta. From the
waist line to the bust it slopes up with n
srevers of tan oolored silk, and there meets
two others which curve downward from
the throat. These three reyers are bor-
dered with q very narrow ruffie of red silk
and have quite an elaborate design traced
in black embroidery. The sleeves reach
but to the elbow and are Of the<ed silk,
shirred in I've places, with a puff at the
top and o two inch frill at the bottom
wrought by the shirring. The same de-
sign was carried out in a blue and white
dotted foulard, only the reyers were made
of cherry velvet; SO was the collar. Col
lars still remain high, and some of them
are ridiculously SO.
One style of a tea jacket was SO very
dainty and dressy that / feel that I should
mention it. There was a sort of over
jacket of pale blue Irish poplin, empire
shaped in the back and cut away in front.
There were short, fiaring caps to the
sleeves, or rather arm sizes. There was a
row of silk muslin ruching about 2 inches
wide set directly on the edge, and back of
this were three lines of very narrow black
velvet ribbon. The upper part Of this was
carried up into a stiff tudor collar. Be-
meath this was a blouse with a deep skirt
made OF fine black chantilly lace, belted in
with a silver linked belt with a turquoise
CLASPS The top of it was shirred across in
fvo lines. The collar was of black velvet
ribbon. The sleeves were entirely of the
chantilly drawn in to fit the arms by shirr-
ing, ending at the elbows with a deep
ruffle.
Pale and turquoise blues are always Of
fectiye whom used with black and they
have q peculiarly Frenchy look. They re-
quire to be well managed, however, and
the black should always predominant. l
noticed on two or three dresses that pip
ings of this very pale blue showed just a
little, and always with good effect. Tur-
quoise blue is a trying color alone, but
! when iudiciously arranged with other coll
ors it is exceedingly pretty. 1t goes par
ticularly well with white, cream and pale
rose leaf pink. Many of the fine zephyrs
show these combinations of color.
The shirt waists are now being seen IN
greater variety than ever. Those of ging
ham take the lead for ordinary use
Nearly all tho ginghams and madras arc
made on tina bias, the sleeves only being
on thesstraight. Some Of these gingham
waists are made with reyers, and these
deliberately tucked. Tucking and ruffiing
seem to be racing for the first place. a
pretty fancy for a bingham waist shows
white reyers and collar. Some madras
waists have three rows Of tucking on each
side ~lengthwise with narrow bias ruffles
down between them. Others have lace be-
tween them and white tics edged with
laoo.
Tho ribbed cottons and all OF
lawns, ~orgnndies and calicoes are seen in
the shirt waists, and in every degree or
o-rnamentation. Lawn waists with dots
and hgurings are new and very pretty,
especially the new grille and dotted effects,
and there are also many made Of linen
lawn in sheer white qualities and also in
the always dainty and durable figured de-
signs. silk waists show little that is real

~ novel, While pelng 0Hereu IN enormous
quantities. ! think the dotted and painted
foulards and the taffeta plaids are better
liked than any other kind. These, too,
show tucked and RULED effects.
Blouse suits. are considered quite the
thing for outing costumes and come under
the head Of tailor made gowns. That
name has always meant o smooth, tightly
fitting waist and a skirt without visible
seams or stitches. Now it may mean al
most anything loose and baggy, providing
the material Is right and the finish perfect.
A new and very Summertime design is
Of pale lilac and white check in soft wool.
The skirt is cut in tunic form only that
the lower part Of 1t is in the bach and the
high in front. The scam is outlined in
the narrowest black velvet ribbon. One
row of that encircles the bottom and rises
In a twist in front. The blouse waist is
trimmed with a fiat band Of lilac faille
with the narrow velvet on each side. The
belt and high collar are of the faille. A
hat and a parasol matching the colors
were furnished.
Parasols are chosen to match different
gowns, at least in color, and a great bless
ing has been found for these with slender
purses in a parasol which has from two to
four different covers which can be taken
off and put on in a minute. The handle is
handsome and the most costly part, and
thus a lady can have, say, four p~arasols at
about the cost of two. A pretty fancy is
seen in the naming of the new parasols.
One very rich looking black parasol, one
mass of shirring and deep %ruffles, is called
1.-THE belle of Baltimore. Plaid taffeta
parasols made plain are likely to be pre-
ferred to any others for ordinary occa-
sion. Blue and cream, brown and cream
and soft green's appear to be the most re-
fined. For the promenade, for carriage
and for coaching the fluffy lace and thin
stuffs are the daintiest, and of them there
are too many to mention.
The mecblin lace and silk null, net OF
all kinds and creponette are put upon the
hats to such an extent that if flowers
were not crowded into close little punches
there would be no place for them. Plumes
