GOSSIP BY WOMAN GUIDE,
Things About New Workers Which

ton about the houses and personal
affairs of well-known New Workers, re-

Everybody who comes to New York

people they have heard and read Of"
declares this guide. Il first began my
list so as to cable to point the houses
out to personal friends who were on
visit to the city. Noting how inter
ested they were l was prompted to
go into the business.

they appeared in the announcements

find that my clients like little gossip
as much as historic and artistic mat
ter.
81 always point out the notable
mems clubs and the residences of dis
tinguished club women, actresses and
other celebrities.
Most of the interesting data con-
corning New York people can only be
learned by people who are here on the
ground all the time, and try to inter-
pref this knowledge for new corners

WHAT OUR SOLDIERS EAT.
Aue American Army Ration Is I'm
doubleday the Most BIounti-
full In the World.

The Connecticut National Guard is
being starved out in camp, we hear,
says the New York Press. Too much
fat, too much bone and too little
bread in the ration seems to be the
trouble. Wellington and Napoleon be-
lieved in fat commissaries. The
former would not have command
until it was well fed. A United States
army officer when asked by me what
kind of meal a soldier could make of
his ration, replied: Better than L
can get at home" An examinat ton
of the components of the ration
show this to be true. For troops in
garrison the ration contains, as
standard articles, fresh beef, flour,
beans, potatoes, prunes, coffee, sugar,
vinegar, salt and pepper and these
SALES.--FUTURE articles: Fresh mutton,
bacon, canned meat, dried fish,
picked fish, soft bread, cornmeal,
peas, rice, hominy, onions, canned to-
matoes and fresh vegetables, or when
it is impracticable to supply these
fresh vegetables, desicated vegeta-
bles. In addition to the ration COM
pany funds are drawn on to purchase
delicacies for the subsistence stores.
On the march to Picking the food of
the United States soldiers exceeded
in quality, quantity and variety that
of any of the allied forces. The
japanese had only rice. dried fish and
occasionally canned meats; the In
dian troops mainly rice. The British
white troops had a ration similar to
the American in quality and quanti'
ty, but not so varied or flexible. They
used tea instead of coffee. The Rus
slams had little besides a black bread
and soup. They received one-fourth
of a pound of canned meat prepare
ton at intervals. The German ration
consisted of bread, fresh or smoked
meat, bacon or sausage, canned meat,
rice, barley or potatoes salt, coffee
or tea and sugar. The French ration
included bread, fresh meat or desi-
Gated vegetables or potatoes, wine,
rum and brandy.
The United States army ration
cost about 80 cents. The food of our
army, therefore, necessitates daily
expenditure of nearly $4,000. Euro
pean nations would adopt our ration
were 1t not for the cost. Germany
maintains an army of 491.136 men. If
it were supplied with the American
ration the Berlin government would
have to spend $53,77o,o00 for food
alone. In time of war, with the en-
tire army of 100000 called into serv-
ice, the cost of food would aggregate
the immense total of 1928, 500,0 900,
These figures simply stagger the
German commissariat. To supply the
American ration to the japanese
army the Toxic government would
have to pay out $66,041 ,275 annually
Russias army under American con-
ditiops would eat food costing $780,
$4,000 a year. France would have to
spend $57, $50, 900 on her commissariat,
while Great Britain's expenditure
would be $47,063,000.

EXPLORING MADE EASY.
Comforts and C0nvenlences Enjoyed
by Modern Delivers In Ma
lures Mysteries.

The explorer to-day goes out in very
different style from his predecessors of
even 20 years ago. For one thing, all
the information that others have gath
cred and the results of their experience
are open to him, thanks, in large part,
to the Royal Geographical society. At
the London headquarters of the So
ciety regular classes are held to train
explorers, says a writer in Pearson's
Magazine, and on occasion the society
lends instruments and even advances
money.
From the scientific side the society
lays stress upon the necessity of TAX
ing instruments for astronomical OBJ
servations and for surveying, and it
teaches the traveller how to pack them
as well as how to use them. 1t shows
him what to note in his diary, how to
take photographs, and how to study
"natives" to the best advantage. 1t
supplies him with medical information,
of the kinds that no traveller should be
without, and lastly, it is prepared to
advise him about the choice of furni-
ture, weapons, dwellings and food.
The first thing the explorer will
want will be house. that is, a tent, and
! he can have one arranged for transport
by wagon, cart, camel, horse, mule, ass
or porter. The tents range from the
silk affair, that weighs Is pounds and
can be worn as an overcoat, to a
marquee of canvas, 100 by 40 feet,
which a camel can carry
There are tents used in connection
with shootingwagons. and there is the
punt tent" which will overspread q
boat and convert it into a complete
house of green waterproof canvas,
/ fitted with windows and ventilators.
The photographer. too. has his porta-
BILE dark room fitted with ruby win
dow, yet when folded up not much
larger than big walking-stick.
Of course the furniture, like the tent,
must give the greatest convenience,
and yet be capable of collapsing into
the smallest possible space For in
stance. a well-known war correspond
ent has designed bed on the concer-
tina prinsiple. By day it is valise into
which all kinds of things ce2 be packed.
AT night you throw it on the ground,
pull out the lattice framework, put
your mattress on and your mosquito
curtain up, and there you are.
As for stoves, there's one that has an
oven Is feet square, and will serve for
a mess of so men; but it is in halves.
capable of being used separately. and
each can be carried on porter's head
Tables. baths, water-buckets. filters,
stretchers, chairs and many other arti-
cles are all made colalpsible. For cross
ing rivers, where even native bridges
are unknown, there are porta BILE fold
ing boats. and there are pontoon carts,
too. which can be taken from the
wheels, emptied of their loads of pro-
visions. ammunition or what not, and
speedily turned into floating bridges.
As for compressed food, one can find
almost everything in this form, even to
milk in the form of powder. Enough
food for hungry mans dinner will fit
in tobacco pouch and weigh only a
few ounces, and the modern explorer
can feast in the wilderness on such lux
uries as truffles, oysters, caviary and
| boned quails.

FAD AND FANCY IN DRESS.
Pretty Details That Are in Evidence
In the Make-Up of the Seasons
Costumes.

A very pretty driving coat is of mush.
room cloth, three-quarter length
faced and fiounced with plated chiffon
to match and adorned with silk gui,
pure in slightly paler shade. The
cape collar of this same lace finishes in
"a knotted silk fringe, reports the
Brooklyn Eagle.
For Longing gowns great deal OF
silk is being used, soft silk and glace in
one plain color, such as bright rose du
Barry pink, Delft blue, apple green, all
made with some severity, having long
hanging sleeves and deep falling col.
lars, some with lace hoods at the back
A model which might have been a
grandmother's wedding gown is OF
white taffeta plaided with Powered
chiffon and blue and white foulard,
both edged with fine gold threads. The
full long sleeves are gathered into a
cuff and there is deep bertha of black
French lace.
One of the handsomest models in the
way of short coat, brought out this
season, is full box of Irish lace lined
with accordion plated chiffon. The
cape collar and stole ends are of white
velvet, cut out and richly embroidered
in white silk. Loops of white silk cord
and heavy tassels hang from the neck.
Again those dear little Breton caps,
or beguins, as the French call them, are
coming in vogue for theater wear in
Paris. They are made of pearls or crys-
tai beads, mounted on gold wire, and
have frou-frou of tulle about the face
and are finished with an aigrette OF
feather and jewel at the side. They are
very becoming on fluffy couture.
/ The smart feminine umbrella of the
moment is fashioned of navy blue or
emerald green silk, charming shade
of mauve also holding its own with
these tested rivals. In the matter of
handles quite the newest and best APP
proved are those of wood, rather short
and stumpy as to length, and carved
into the most weird, grotesque heads
of birds, beasts and reptiles.
Stockings and skirts zen suite" are
one of fashions latest DEGREES. A navy
blue celestially spotted foulard jupon
was allied to navy gossamer silk stock
ings similarly treated, with most excel
lent results. Though, let it be clearly
understood, this alliance, for day wear
at least, is only advisable with the
darker tones.
Detachable founces on petticoats
are a departure that tend at once to
economy and variety, one foundation,
be it of silk or lawn, being asked to
serve for the support of numerous ad-
ditions in this regard. Undoubtedly
the best method of securing these
firmly in place is that of astitched band
on the skirt itself, accorded buttons at
regular intervals. and the destined
founce buttonholes to correspond,
though many there are who prefer a
threading or lacing together of the two
component parts.
