1t soon became apparent that money
was not alone necessary to alleviate
the distress which was becoming in
tensihed with the approach Of winter.
Sewing circles were inaugurated and
for several months women Of every
station of life either resurrected their
knitting needles and sat down to a
systematic allotment Of knitting, OF
else they fashioned warm garments
for the women and children left at
home to suffer by the brave men who
had answered their country's call to
arms.
The result Of these industrious
women's labors netted thousands of
pairs of socks and stockings and a my
riad Of garments of every description
which were sent to the various con-
sulates in New York City and thence
to the respective distribution stations
In Europe. The wives Of the Consuls
enlisted many Of their women friends
to aid In the work and on days Just
prior TO the sailing of the vessels which
transported the articles these consul
lates we're veritable hives Of industry.
The Christmas Ship Idea.
The thought Of further adding to
the comfort Of suffering Europe took
new angle as Christmas approached.

to the foreign element, especially
where Germans have taken up their
residences, reveal a new condition Of
things since the Worlds War started.
In a little four-room fiat of the East
Side found a family Of eight. Fa-
ther, mother and six children, the
latter ranging in ages from six TO four
teen years Every member OF this lit
tie household was as busy as could be.
The father told me that before leav-
ing the Fatherland he had been en-
ployed In making wooden animals for
arks that were turned out by the thou
sands. In the old country he had al
ways confined his efforts to carving
from the little blocks of wood fur
nished him, horses Of a like pattern.
In all the years he had worked at
home he had only carved these horses
and he admitted that had he been
called on to make a COW, a sheep. or
a pig, he would have been stumped.
Now Make And Fill The Arks.
But over here, he said. he learned
that versatility is an asset in any
trade. Therefore he had broadened
the scope Of his talents and now he,
his wife and his children, between
them, can not only make the arks. but
every type of animal necessary to fill
them. Since early in August this family

Mother and father were at work fash
ioning the bodies and limbs from a
piece OF strong muslin which. after
being cut out and sewed up, was filled
with cotton batting and then shaped
into almost lifelike form. The heads
we're deftly carved from soft clay
like substance that resembled meer-
schaum. although much cheaper. Two
girls, twelve and fourteen years, re-
spectively, were engaged in this work.
In reality these little girls were artists,
for they themselves had designed In
water colOrs the faces they were re-
producing in clay, and there was q
wide variety of them. The two aunts,
with soft brushes, applied the color
ing matter, tinting cheeks and eyes
and by a touch here and there giving
an almost llfe-like glow to the baby's
flesh. The two little boys packed each
doll In n little pasteboard box, and in
a surprisingly short time a gross or
more were ready for delivery to the
store.
The father told me that his little
girls had a bent" for painting, and
they soon picked up modelling In clay
In their manual training classes at
school. When the father lost his po-
sition shortly after the war started
It was imperative that they all turn
their hand to something that would
stave Off the landlord and prevent evic-
ton. It was the little girls idea to
make the dolls and, with several Of
them as samples. she found a ready
market for all they could turn out.

their sales have been large in the past,

dence over all others, and soon enough
money had been raised to purchase a
steamship, equip her as a hospital ves-
sci and with her lockers we'll filed

emergency work, and manned by a
capable corps of surgeons and an
army Of professional nurses. the RED
Cross" put to sea, dropping her va
rious Red Cross units at the ports
nearest the fields of operation in
which each was to be employed. This
Fund ran into the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars and the expedition
from the outset was an unqualified
success, both professionally and finan-
cially.
Immediately after getting the Red
Cross Fund under way other methods
of relief were started. The Belgian
Fund in New York City alone totalled
100000 before the fifteenth Of No
vember. The French Fund, and the
German Fund, and the English Fund
each found many sympathizers and
gold poured into them in a steady
stream. All Of the large cities were
proportionately generous and the
smaller cities. towns hamiets and
country sides set to work to do what
they could to swell the grand total.

II was only a few years back that
no little girl felt that her lot in life
was worth while unless she possessed

ticular dollie must be able to close
and open wide her beautiful blue eyes,
fringed by sweeping lashes and top
ped by exquisitely arched brows. With
tender care dollie was put to bed each
night and as she reclined upon her
downy pillow her laughing eyes closed
in slumber, thus TO remain until her
loving little mother lifted her from
her crib in the morning, when the
days toilet was begun again.
Such dolls were imported from the
Old World and sold at fairly good
prices. America, quick to realize the
pront that accrued from. this industry,
at once set TO work to create doll
of its own, and before long was manu-
featuring a prettier and more ''hu-
man" doll than those made in Europe.

With each succeeding account OF the
devastation that was being wrought
throughout Belgium It soon was appar-
ent that there would be no Christmas

Uncle Sam once more arose to the
occasion and this time in the role OF
Santa Claus. Several newspapers OBJ
ligated themselves to procure and
stock a real Christmas Ship with thou
sands upon thousands Of presents
useful as well as entertaining for all
within the war zone The undertake
ing was a gigantic one, but with the
first appeal for aid through their re-
spective columns these newspapers
soon found themselves nearly
swamped with gifts.
Uncle Sam entered into the spirit
OF the undertaking with a ready zest
and at once offered one Of his war
ships-the Jason-for the trip. The

Commander c. r. Courteney, was

Two Hundred Newspapers Play Santa
Claus.
Whereas the idea OF sending a
Christmas Ship originated with the
New York World, the Chicago Herald,
the st. Louis Republic, the Phliadei-
phla North American and the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. upwards Of two
hundred newspapers opened their col
umna to the undertaking and each
was successful In collecting a varied
and useful assortment OF gifts which
found their way into the Jason's hold.
While Il Is well-nigh impossible TO
enumerate all the gifts received or
from whence they came, some idea OF
the generosity OF Big and Little Amer
lea as represented in New York City
is at hand. From tho labels on the
boxes, packing cases, barrels and small

all fears were soon allayed when word

deficiency and, further, that many new

country.
Homemade Toys For shops.
In the poorer sections of all the big
cities of the East scores of families
are to be found who before emigrating
TO this country had been engaged in
the toy shops of their native coun-
tries. Men and women with such
training soon learned that their serv-
ices were in great demand. Many Of
them found immediate employment in
the big factories at remunerative
wages, while others were keen enough
to realize that they could do better
by working at home and selling their
finished product direct to the jobber
and wholesaler. In consequence, these
