COOKS REAL HEROES

So, as the company cannot go to
the cook, the cook goes to the COM
pany. When meal hour comes he puts
a yoke on his shoulders and puts a
bucketful Of that veal stew on either
end of the yoke and goes to his men.
Maybe the trench is under fire. Be-
ing trench, it most probably is. No
matter. His men are in that trench

Sometimes the second cook gets
his step right there. Sometimes the
apprentice cook-the dishwasher, the
grub murderer, the university gradu-
ate who has just learned what to ex-
pect when Fahrenheit is applied to
spuds-is summoned from his job of
rustling firewood to pick up the cooks
yoke and refill the spilled buckets
and tramp steadily forward to the line
Sometimes the supply of assistant
cooks, even, runs short. But the men
in the trenches always get their food.
That's why so many cooks in the Ger

from their breasts" said the man who

The hero of the German campaign is

The man who knows really does
know. He has been along the Ger
man battle line, under protection of
a headquarters pass.
1t is this mans belief, based on
what he has heard, that the commits

time broken down, but that of the
Germans never has.

Wide Skirt Has Arrived.

"The wide skirt has arrived" says a
fashion authority. ut started with the
short, flaring minaret tunic. From
there it heightened and expanded into
the long, full Russian overskirt. Here
it ruled supreme for some time, but
at last the final drop came, and sud-
denly, too, and it's end is the three and
half yard round-the- bottom skirt. The
circular skirt hanging in quaint godet
ruffles is a rival of the new plated
skirt, and Paris favors both as smart
autumn styles. The long coat which
flares even more than the skirt be-
meath is the suit coat of the hour,
while the basque which clings to the
figure has taken the place of the bag

with it the high collar and the higher
ruche, which flares. 1t is interesting
to note that we are to flare both at
the neck and at the feet this winter"

some, fishes considerably, and tramps

ideal. Made of checked tweed in

is plain, with the fronts fulled in a

the plain coat-sleeve variety, are
finished with pointed cuff on the up

jacket at the top, fastening on the
shoulder, and plain turnover collar
finishes the neck.

No one can fathon the idea of the
designer in making, to go with SO
practical a jacket, a skirt SO entirely
unsuited to hunting. The proper skirt
is to be cut much shorter, extending
not below the calf Of the leg, or at
most to the top of high hunting shoes.
1t is to fit smoothly about the waist and
hips and flare toward the bottom. 1t
should be finished with a MACHINE
stitched hem and provided with few
weights. Skirts of this kind are worn
over dark-colored boomers and with
the plainest of soft shirtwaists, in
brown linen or other strong fabric.
The cap is a very good model, with
a vizor of which there is only a
glimpse in the picture. Such caps are
made of velours, chinchilla, velveteens,

would be hard to improve on this one.

EFF YOU are casting about for inexpen-
4 sive Christmas gifts there is hardly
anything that makes as good a show
ing, for the smallest outlay, as the
little serving apron. OF course these
small bits of dainty apparel may be
made of fine materials, trimmed with
the more costly lingerie laces, and
elaborated into expensive affairs, but
these will not be any more pleasing
than palmer aprons which are equally
dainty and are made of inexpensive
cotton fabrics trimmed with sheer en-
broideries or the cheaper laces.
The weaving of cotton into exquisite
fabrics that cost little has placed a
world of opportunities at the hand Of
the needle woman. All the fine cot

gowns which women are privileged to
wear Everyone of them is available
for the serving apron and for the
morning cap.
There is a saving in buying enough
material to cut several aprons, and
they may be made of short lengths or
pieces or remnants, because the body
of the apron is often cut in panels that
are set together with narrow val lace.
Short lengths of embroidery serve for
edgings, because they are put on with
out fullness. A pocket, decked out
with small bow or rosette, is an
establishment and comes in handy
for the lace-bordered handkerchief.
Since it is so much the vogue for
the daughters of the house, little and
big, or for the young hostess, to serve
the guest at tea or luncheon, the
serving apron is sure to be appreci-

MANY Decorated With Iron Cross
by the Kaiser.
Carry Food to the Trenches While
Enemy Rains Bullets on Them, but
They Never Fail in
Their Duties.
BY HERBERT COREY.

London.-There isn't anything he
roic about a cook. One simply can
not imagine a cook in soiled apron
and a mussed white cap doing a deed
of valor. But the German army is
full of cooks upon whose breasts dan
giles the iron cross. And the iron cross
is conferred for one thing Only-for
100 per cent courage.
They've earned it," said the man
who had seen them. "They are the
bravest men in the kaiser's 100000.
I've seen generals salute greasy,
paunchy, sour-looking army cooks"
The cooks job is to feed the men
of his company. Each German COM
pany Is followed or preceded by field
kitchen on wheels. Sometimes the
fires are kept going while the de-
vice trundles along. The cook stands
on the footboard and thumps his
bread He is always the first man up
in the morning, and the last to sleep
at night. He is held to the stricteSt
accountability. The Teuton believes
in plenty Of food. 4 well-fed soldier
will fight. A hungry one may not
when the company gets into camp
at night" said the man who knows,
1.-The cook is there before it, swearing
at his fires and the second cook and
turning out quantities of veal stew,
which is very good to eat"
When the company goes into the
trenches the COOK stays behind. There
is no place for a field kitchen in a
four-foot trench. But those men in
the trench must be fed. The Teuton
insists that all soldiers must be fed
but especially the men in the trench.
The others may go hungry, but these
must have tight belts. Upon their
staying power many depend the safety
of an army.

over the Meuse-only one track as
yet. 1t took the German pioneers
nearly a week to build the substitute
for the old steel railway bridge, dyna-
mited by the French, whose four spans
lie buckled up in the river.
Further on a variety of interest is
furnished by squad of French pris-
oners being marched along the road.

The intense activity of the Germans
in rebuilding the torn-up railroads and
pushing ahead new strategic lines is
one of the most interesting features OF
tour now in France. I was told that
they had pushed the railroad work so
far that they were able to ship men
and ammunition almost up to the for
titled trenches. The Germanization of
the railroads here has been completed
by the importation of station superin-
tendents, station hands, track-walkers,
ETC., from the Fatherland.
Now we creep past long hospital
train, full this time, which has turned
out on a siding to give us the right Of
way-perhaps thirty all-steel cars,
each fitted with two tiers of berths,
eight to a side, 16 to car. Every
berth is taken. One car is fitted up as
an operating room, but fortunately no
one is on the operating table as we
crawl past. Another car is the private
office of the surgeon in charge of the
train. He is sitting at a big desk re-
ceiving reports from the orderlies.
During the day we pass six of these

pital trains, all full Of wounded. Some
