Military Aid Relief.

"We are meeting no obstruction
from the military authorities of Bel
GUM in prose cution of our relief work.
Not one loaf of bread, or one spoonful
of salt that we introduce, was taken
by the military. The most stringent
orders were given out that we shall
have no interference. and that our
members be met with respect and as
sistance from all quarters. .....
The people are most all law abiding
and those able are compelled to pay
something for food. All together one
half of the food the commission sends
to Belgium is. paid for so when the
American people contribute two ship
loads of food they enable us to buy
one more cargo.
Because of the absolute cessation Of
all methods of transportation avail
able to the commission, the immense
obstacles in this regard must be over
come before food can be distributed to
outlying points.
New York, Dec. 5.-Another mercy
ship sailed from here last night for the
relief of starving noncombatants in
Belgium, when the steamer Agabeb-
non, with $500 tons of food supplies
aboard cleared for Rotterdam. a
million pounds of rice was the oulk
of the cargo, which also included con-
densed milk, beans, -four, salt, lard
and coffee.

UNPARALLELED in History.

1T is difficult to state the position
of the civil population Of Belgium
without appearing hysterical," said
Hoover. 81 do not know that history
presents a parallel, where a popula-
ton of 100000 people, surrounded
by ring of steel, and utterly unable
by any conceivable effort of their own
to save themselves.

TAKE CARE OF THE GLOVES
Length Of Service and General Pre-.
sentabIlity Depend on Way They
Are Handled.

Too much cannot be said about the
necessity for proper care in removing
gloves from the hands, for upon this
more than anything else depends the
length Of time a pair of gloves will
wear. After christening the glove it
should be turned back over the hand
as far as the fingers, and then should
be pushed off without pulling on the
fingers Of the glove at all. as when
this Is done the threads of the sewing
are broken, and in short time begin
to rip.
After the glove is off the hands the
fingers should be gently Strengthened
out the gloves smoothed into shape
and put into box to keep them from
the air as much as possible, as it is
the air and the moisture in 1t that rot
the fine thread with which glove is
sewn.

Elaborate Fichus.

Fichus are worn either inside or out
side the dress. They are made of
shadow lace or plain white net. One,
in black net, is trimmed with black
satin bow run through pearl buckle
at the bottom. Another has a plain
white Medici collar and jabot trimmed
with white ball buttons. A more elab-
crate fichu is made of silk shadow
lace with standing collar.
The newest ruff is worn either
standing or fiat. There are three rows
of plated net on ribbon band, the
ends of which are tied in four-in-hand.
A chic looking ruff is made of black
net and white maline; the black is
edged with picot and the ribbon ends
are plain. The more extreme styles
are very full and stand high. One is
of white maline with black picot edge,
a MORE bow in black and long MORE
ends in front.

HAIR ORNAMENTS
OF RICH DESIGN
In FAVOR TODAY

- HERE Is no abatement in the lik-
j ing for ornaments for the hair.
There Ia a good deal Of talk about the
return of the high couture. but the last
few years have shown women the beau
ty of well-chosen, and well-designed
hair ornaments, and no couture can
put them in the background without a
good deal Of struggle.
The famous French dressmakers.
realizing the scope their genius might
have in hair ornaments, Lave turned
their attention to designing some OF
much beauty.
One ornament that makes rse OF the
butterfly is made of tiny black jet
disks mounted on black wire. The
butterfly measures about four inches
from tip to tip of his half-opened
wings. He is perched on bandeau
made of the little jet disks strung to-
gether solidly-a bandeau about two
inches wide. The butterfly is perched
at the base of full back aigrette
made up of half dozen tall. slender
spikes.
Another butterfly is made if rides
cent pink sequins. This butterfly is
bigger than the black one described
Each wing measures couple Of
inches. But 1t is so graceful in color
and form that 1t Is in no way too
heavy for the hair it adorns. 1t is
fastened to twisted ribbon bandeau
studded with the pink sequins.
Above the butterfly rise three tiny
pink plumes, deeper at the tips than
at the base-shading from pale blush
pink to deep rose. Whether plumes
as hat trimming gain great favor or
not this season-and Paris has been
trying to reintroduce their use on hats
they doubtless will be much used
for hair ornaments.
The American shops show their hair
ornaments of good design and little
cost their appeal to the average wom-
ans sense Of economy, as well as to
her sense of beauty. The most ef-
fective Of these ornaments are doubt
less either black, white or black and
white OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES for the
ornaments. Nowhere in women's
dress does 1t look so graceful and
suitable as on her hair. It's lightness
and delicacy make it a fitting crown
to dainty couture.
Jet and rhinestones combined are
brilliant in effect. One especially
good ornament shows good-sized
rhinestones arranged alternately with
cut jet beads of the same size. They
are set in platinum band, in three
tiers, and the band is made to extend
all around the head. Where 1t fastens
on the left side there is soft, fluffy
group Of white feathers Of almost
downy appearance and texture.
A dainty ornament for young girl
is made Of silk apple blossoms and
pink aigrettes. The ornament is
thrust into the hair at smart angle

Fur Chin STRAPS.

The mode for wearing chin straps
of silk or velvet with the small hats
of the present day has been in vogue
for some time, but among the latest
arrivals in the millinery world axe
wide brimmed velvet hats trimmed
with bands of fur, other narrow bands
of fur being brought down from the
sides to fasten beneath the chin. Ore
model, for instance, was of brick red
velvet trimmed with skunk, with q

WELL LIKED IN WASHINGTON

Since her husband became a mem
Der of President Wilson's cabinet, Mrs.
Josephus Daniels, wife of the secre-

of the best loved women in Washing

the words OF a white-haired woman
who, last New Year day when the Sec
rotary and Mrs. Daniels were holding
a public reception, sat In their drawing
room near the receiving line, holding

toward the host and hostess, the white

the shops in profusion, come in for
much consideration also.
The three hats shown here are fine
examples of the newest modes. They
are rather small, but are not worn as
low on the head as our winter hats.
They fit snugly and may be kept in
place without pin.
Among the new models are shapes
that are worn at quite q tilt to the
right. Others set almost squarely on
the head, but dropping, close-fitting
brims at the right, which curve up
ward at the left, give them the ap-
pearance OF being posed at q rakish
angle. This pose carried to the ex-
treme, almost covers the right eye.
Those who are inclined to be face
tious declare that the right eye Is not
being worn at present. The poise of
the hat Is thing to be decided by
individuals for themselves. There are
hats for those who like the straight
pose and hats for those who like the
tilted pose. In selecting one the idea
of its designer should be considered.
