NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Starting

Fritz Kreisler said as he sat in the
lobby Of the Hotel Iowa this after
noon. "She was nursing the wounded
in the hospitals. and she promised
several dying soldiers that she would
see that I took care Of their chill

4Lr. Kreisler was a soldier in the
Austrian trenches and was wounded

nerves were shattered, and although
the wound has healed, Mr.. Kreislsi'
says he suffers severely at night from
the wound.
But" he added smilinsly, II can

Kreisler has written book on his

An odd and unexpected feature Is
introduced In the large white buttons
with dark rims that are sewed to the
front of the belt. They repeat the
color of the dress with its pipings OF
white at neck and wristbands, and
therefore seem to belong in the
scheme. But they are not essential
to the finish of the gown; they are
used solely for the sake Of the nov
city they furnish.

Don't FORGET the Apron.

In replenishing your wardrobe don't
forget to have at least one gown which
can boast of an apron. For instance.
on an afternoon gown OF green soft

material, and at the proper places
have two little pockets. Have a two
lnch-wide belt at the top of the apron

dress-and let II run off into space
in the form of apron strings, which are

their end of the game as batter and
catcher. Here is how 1t is done:
In the abdomen of the catcher dunn
my is plate which when hit by the
baseball thrown by the player who is
practicing closes an electric circuit
and causes a bell or buzzer to ring
The catcher's arms and hands are
mounted to move In and out on hori-
zontal plane. The batter, on the other
hand, moves his bat up and down.
To practice with this machine you
take a position about sixty feet from
the dummy batter and throw at his
bat, which extends over the home
plate; II the bat is hit, you can 1ot
down one on the score card. Or, land
the ball In the abdomen Of the catcher,
hit the registering plate and ring the
electric bell, and a strike is credited
you. II the ball hits the batter or
catcher elsewhere than intended, q
foul is counted

to watch for the deer which all Of

he saw the big fellow he cut loose
with his gun, and he caught up with
