NEUTRAL TO ALL NATIONS

n N beautiful and romantic location
four miles south of the city of Bed
i ford, Ind, there is a tract of 1872
acres that is the only piece OF neu-
trail ground on the American continent,
or, more properly, the Western Hemls-
phere. 1t is protected by the interna-
tional treaty against the tread of hos
tile feet. 1t is perpetual sanctuary
against the invading armies OF forty
two nations under the sacred treaty Of
Geneva.
DR.. Joseph Gardner of Bedford, Ind,
donated the tract of land to Clara
Barton for the Red Cross. The gift
was accepted by Miss Barton in the
name Of the Red Cross Society of the
World, and immediate steps were
taken to secure the passage CT proper
laws by Congress to forever secure the
magnificent gift to the uses and pur-
poses desired by the donor and Miss
Barton.

they are coaxed trif1e. Any soft waist
of null or silk will complete your out
fit, and you can wear it any place and
at any time.
Pongee suits are another boon to the
woman who travels in a suit case. for
they, too, are soft and some of them
Aare very stylish and chic, not to men
ton delightfully."- COOL
And this is the way you can pack
your baby trunk. For instance, say
that your nobby travelling suit is gray
or even tan. Get a red hat and a red
silk petticoat and you have one costume
complete and one that you need not be
ashamed of in the bargain. And that
you wear, mind you.
Your pongee shirt waist suit should
be trimmed with red. a red border
about the skirt, red pipings on the
waist and soft red collar and tie that
IS buttoned down under fetching straps.
The touch of color adds wonderfully to
the dull tan, especially when the short
full skirt swings lightly about and gives
one tantalizing glimpses Of red ruff1es,
trim ankles and neat boots.
The other gown may be one of two
the black taffeta or a soft black net
Ting. And this is the scheme that one
enterprising girl carried out She made
separate demi-train fiounce and fin
ished it with three small ruff1es so that
it had a pretty fluffy look But the top
was where she displayed her ingenuity.
The band fastened on the petticoat just
above the knees with safety hooks and
eyes and she possessed both long silk
lining and a gay petticoat
The waist. made with elbow sleeves
was, of course, lined with the same
taffeta, so that in a twinkling of an eve
she could do bit of hooking and be
anayed like Solomon in all his glory.
If you Miss-Lady- -that-travels-alon
decide to follow out her scheme. invest
in handsome lace scarf for it will an
sWer a dozen and one purposes. Your
fed nat cannot be neat and trim for
travelling and betrimmed and befeath-
cred for dress occasions at one and the
same time, but you can throw the scarf
over it carelessly and catch the ends
at the back. or you can have a mill
liner drape ii for you so that you can
pin it in place, but either way it will
convert your plain hat into quite an
elegant affair. Other than this. such
scarf is not only pretty, but is de-
cidedly comfortable for head and neck
wear, and it does not occupy enough
space to even mention.
Gloves are always necessity, but II
does not follow that you must carry
alorg a supply, though. to be sure, one
pair of white silk, a pair of long hlacLr
ones and stout pair for every day
usage do not take up much room, but
when every inch counts, the corners are
very apt to be well filed and when that
is the case one pair of gloves can grow
and swell until. they are amazingly
large.
