the one pictured here, are often worn
over straight understands faced up,
with Roman-striped satin. In this case,
the collar and vestee and separate
cuffs are made of the same satin. This
makes shower and dressier costume,
and one may manage this dress by
having two underskirts Zone of the.
goods and one of the satin) and two
sets of collar and vestee with separate
cuffs. One of them is to be of white
cotton or linen and the other of satin
like that in the underskirt facing. In
this way the same dress will furnish
costume for many occasions and a re-
freshing variety, at least.
With the oncoming of cold weather
and the high military collars of outer
garments, new vestee and collar COM
binations have been designed with
closed throat and high turnover col
lars.
The sleeves in this particular gown
re the plain coat-sleeve type finished
with a soft, flaring cuff. When sepa-
rate cuffs are to be adjusted an en-
tirely plain sleeve is preferable.
Either of the hats pictured is appro-
pirate with this gown, and it is wise
thing to own both a small and large
hat. But if only one is to be chosen
let it be the larger one. For brims are
widening and the large hat is more
effective for occasions where one
wishes to look somewhat dressed up"

THERE are SO many varieties in the
j development of the redingote dress
that the idea prevails in gowns for all
sorts of wear. Here is a clever new
adaptation for the street that is 6. sort
Of compromise between the one-piece
garment and coat suit. 1t is an ex-
cellent design for betweenSeasons'
wear, without an outside coat, and, for
tilted with heavy outer garment, is
all that is desirable for the coming
winter.
1t consists of a semifltting basque
finished with scallops at the bottom.
The scallops are bound with braid and
the basque as long as the average coat
in coat suit. A box-plaited tunic is
set into the basque, stitched by ma
chine along the line of the scallops.
The tunic is finished with a plain hem
less than two inches in width, and is
very long. 1t is worn over a plain,
straight-line underskirt of either the
same material as the dress or of satin.
This underskirt, which is short, is not
much in evidence. 1t is narrow, and
when made of the same goods as the
tunic is often slashed in three or four
places to admit Of free stride. When
slashed in this way it has the effect of
trousers worn undCr long skirt. and
we must concede that it looks attrac-
tive and would seem startling innova-
ton except that we are already accus-
toned to slashes in walking skirts.

NURSES FACE DEATH
Women Work FearIessly Amid
Bursting of Shells.
Correspondent Describes Trip Into a
Burning Town to Rescue Wounded
SoIdiers-GirIs Take Risks
With Laughing Courage.
BY PHILIP. GIBBS.


Farnes.-The staff of an English
hospital to which mobile column is
attached for field work has arrived
here with convoy of ambulances and
motor cars. This little party of doc
tors, nurses, stretcher-bearers and
chauffeurs has done splendid work in
Belgium.
Many of them were in the siege OF
Antwerp. Lady Dorothie Fielding, one
of Lord Denbighs daughters, won
everybody's love by her plucky devo-
ton to duty in many perilous hours.
This girl takes all the risks with
laughing courage. She has been I'M
der fire in many hot skirmishes.
In defiance of bursting shells a fly
ing column of the hospital was pre-
pairing to set out in search of wound
ed men on the firing line under the
direction Of Lieutenant De Brogville,
son of the Belgian war minister. Lady
Dorothie Fielding and two other
nurses stood by their cars waiting
for the word.
pany the column in a car, which |
shared with another correspondent.
We set out from Fumes at noon.
We were asked to get into DiXmude,
about sixteen kilometers away. We
passed many refugees and German
prisoners. AS we approached within
two kilometers of Dixmude we heard
the boom of the cannon and saw many
villages in flames.
Close to us, across the fields to the
left, Belgian batteries were at work,
and rife fire came from many
trenches. We were between two fires
and Belgian and German shells came
screeching across our heads.
Farther down the road we left two
of the cars in charge of Lady Doro-
THE Fielding and her two nurses. Two
of the ambulances came on with our
light car. We went forward at what
seemed to me crawl, shells bursting
! around us now on all sides.
Then we came into Dixmude. 1t
was wrecked from end to end as
though by an earthquake.
Soon we had full load. Of wound
ed men. l put my head outside the
cover and gave the word 10 the chauf-
feur to start back. As did so shrap-
mel bullets came past my head and
striking piece of iron work flattened
out and fell at my feet.
There was an incessant cannonade
and crashing of buildings. Mitrail-
| leuses were at work now splitting out
bullets. Along country roads the
| fields were still being plowed by
shells. In the half hour since we had
| left the town, Dixmude had burst into
| flames and was great blazing torch.
BY this time there were five towns
blazing in the darkness. The enemy's
bombardment was now terrific.
! At the gate of convent were some
| Belgian ambulances which had come
| from another part of the front with
their wounded. A wounded man put
| his arm around my neck and then
with a dreadful cry collapsed. A third
man; horribly smashed about the
head, walked almost unaided into the
operating room. Now he lies dead on
a little pile of straw.

Her suitors have been many, for
her beauty has attracted scores OF
lovesick Chinese SWANS who have

boys; little fellows of two years only
are put into them, much to their own
delight. But they are worn by boys
up to ten years, and are thoroughly
practical. Clever designers have
adapted the Oliver Twist suits to girls,
substituting a skirt for pants. Very
pretty ones are made with plaid skirts
buttcned to plain blouses. the latter
having cuffs and collars of the plaid
material These dresses are provided
with patch pockets on each side of the
skirt, and are made up in serge and
other wooden goods for school wear,
as we'll as in wash goods.
A little slip-over dress for a tiny
girl is shown in the picture. It Is of
plain blue bingham with a straight
narrow box plat down the middle of
the front and back. 1t is decorated
with short bands of white embroidery
placed on the plat near the top and
bottom and with small pearl buttons
and simulated buttonholes.
The sleeves are long, with turn-back
cuffs. The neck is plain and bound
with a bias strip of the material. A
small separate round collar is to be
worn when the little dress needs to do
other duty than to provide an easily
laundered romping outfit for the lit
test girl.
Both these garments are cut with
reference to the fact that they must
be washed and ironed often. and with
that in view they are made easy TO

TOR small boys, the Oliver Twist
i suits seem to suit the little ones
and to appeal to the mothers who are
always looking about for something
new and practical for their restless
youngsters. These are two-piece suits
combining plain and striped materials
or plain material in contrasting colors,
in blouse and pants. They are made
up in several different models, the sim
plest of them consisting of plain
blouse like that shown in the picture,
to which a pair of straight pants is
buttoned.
The blouses are made of striped per-
Gale or in plaid ginghams or of equally
durable plain materials of other kinds.
When the blouse is plain the pants
often are made of a narrow stripe, or
if the blouse is striped the pants are
plain. Plain pants, with striped blouse
having round collar and turnback cuh's
of the plain material, make the best
looking of the Oliver Twist suits. In
the better grades of these suits the
blouses are box plated, made with
round collars and turnback cuffs.
The plaits make the waist little more
dressy and add to it's strength. In
the cheaper suits the blouse is cut
without plaits and the sleeves finished
with narrow band of contrasting ma
terial like that in the collar. A small
patch pocket on the blouse is finished
with narrow band at the top also. In
all the suits the pants are straight.
These suits are made for very tiny

Both Hands Wounded He Helps
Capture Battery.
Killed as Daring Deed Is Accomplished
Might Have Been Great
Scholar, 6ut Preferred
to Be Soldier.

Nish, Servia.-Lieut, Voya Cara
shinin was the son of statesman and
diplomat, the late Milutin Garashinin,
leader of the Progressive party, and
envoy to the French republic. Voya
had a brilliant education, spoke
French, English and Italian, distin-
guished himself at the Sorbonne and
grieved his parents by choosing a
military career instead of applying his
brain power to science or art. Long
ago when he came to Belgrade from
Paris on brief visit, the first thing
that struck him in the humble little
Balkan capital was squad of soldiers
marching past the palace to nation
al tune, and if he had been old enough
he would have enlisted there and then.
You are talented" said his profess
sors. "You must devote yourself to
law, philosophy or literature, and
make a great name" ''T'll be sol
der" said Voya. And he was.
He was but cadet when the first
Balkan war broke out, but he volun-
teered, and won his epaulettes on the
battle field. In the war with Bulgaria
he was wounded in the foot and was
decorated with the gold medal for
bravery. In the present war he earned
undying glory by the manner of his
death.
"Voya was leading our detachment
at Golotchuk," writes comrader
when his right hand was struck by
a bullet. He wrapped his handker-
chief round it and continued to give
orders. But the wound bled so pro-
fusely that he stuck the hand in his
pocket and took the bayonet in his
left. Just as he lifted It, giving the
order to charge, the left hand was
also struck, the wrist being broken.
1--WE tore off his coat and set to
bandaging him seriously, for he was
determined to stay at his post. We
did all we could for the two wounded
hands, but it was an awkward task
and when we had finished the band
ages were so big he could not put on
the coat again except by hanging il
round his neck. All the time we were
busy with his hands he had been
watching the ebb and flow of the com
bat and suddenly he called:
"T'm lucky not to have gone to the
rear to be treated. Here is the chance
of my life! There is a battery over
there to be had for the taking. Come
along, brothers, and our detachment
will never again be short of guns!
HE could not hold weapon, but
he raced in front of us, holding vi
his bandaged hands and shouting
'Hurrah!' all the time he ran. Every
man of us was after him, and the
Austrians abandoned the battery be
fore we came up to 1t. One of them
turned, however, after he had got {
little distance, and. aiming straight
at voya, shot him in the chest. He
fell forward still shouting Hurrah!
and that was the end of Voya.
TT was an end such as he had al
ways wished, for ne was ambition:
of glory, and if he can know where ht
now is that the battery we captured
is known as Garashinin's battery hi
will he satisfied"

Kindred, N. D.-The oldest man in
North Dakota, Ole P. Pytten, has just
celebrated his one hundred and third
anniversary. He is mentally alert
and active, and seems as much inter
ested in public matters as he did half
a century ago. He was born in Hal

insists he will live for many years.
He is deeply religious and finds his

A New GRAY.

Sphinx is the name given new
gray which may be likened to gun
metal, or even moleskin, as it has a
luster which tones charmingly with
the metallic trimmings with which it
was designed to blend. In velvet and
the softer material, it takes the lights
and shades of real skin. A similar
shade sometimes confused with sphinx
is called cetrole, as it is the exact
shade of petroleum, and like that fluid
is dull and lusterless. However,

Chicago, Aug. 4.-The war in Europe
may mean Olympic games for Chicago.
With any protracted conflict on The
continent it is practically certain that
the big games scheduled for Berlin in
1916 will be called off.
These possibilities were discussed by
Everett G. Brown, a member OF the IN
ternational athletic Olympic commit
tee, who returned to Chicago yesterday
after attending the olympic conference
es at Lyons and Paris.
1T does not seem possible now said
MIR. Brown. that war will be averted'
and there seems to be little chance FOR
the Olympic games to be staged in
Berlin two years from now. Not ONLY
will the ranks OF the European athletes
be decimated. but war itself will leave
such scars that friendly feelings be-
| tween nations may not he re-establish-

1T seems to me that there should be
no break in the holding OF the Olympics
and for that reason | do not see any

This probably means, too, that carr

mitted that the big fellow has lost none
OF his batting cunning, but he isn't or

was hard enough for Charley to keep

failed. There were but few Of the mer
