will also cooperate in this relief work.
John X. Caldwell, the American con-
sui at Vladivostok, is in charge Of the
distribution of money for the relief Of
the interned Germans in Siberia, and
most of the relief work will be directed
from Vladivostok. The internment
camps and prison camps are chiefly
located far west Of Vladivostok, and
most of them are some distance from
the Trans Siberian railway line. Con-
lsequently, the work OF distribution is
extremely difficult.
Many of the supplies sent for the
relief of Germans in Siberia last win
ter did not reach the camps until
spring. The Trans-Siberian railway is
so congested with supplies for the
army that all other freight is side
tracked for arms and ammunition and
troop trains.
In addition to clothing. the American
Red Cross is also sending much medi-
cine and many medical supplies Of
various kinds into Siberia Typhoid
serum is greatly needed because Of
the prevalence OF fever in many of the
camps. Typhoid has been checked
largely by the cold weather, but with

sible, and it is believed that the supply
from that source can be kept fresh
even after the return Of hot weather.

are to make every possible effort to

The above title is chosen with all
seriousness and with no thot OF IT.
reverence. 1t is brought To light by
the recent visit of a cultured gentle
man at our Office, seeking to enlist
sympathy and aid to establish an
Episcopal Church in Skowhegan. Let
II be said at once that our objections
are not to the Episcopal creed. While
we have not sufficient knowledge to
Judge the matter critically, we have
no doubt it is worthy of our utmost
respect and that its adherants are
performing a wonderfully useful ser
vice to the world We respectfully
submit, however, that to add another
church, of any denomination, in
Skowhegan, would uselessly increase
the labor and expense, and would
lessen rather than augment, the
power of the Christian Religion in
our midst.
We cannot believe there are es-
sential differences that would prevent
an Episcopaian from worshipping
with some one of the denominations
we now have and from laboring in
perfect fellowship with its members.
The same line of reasoning might
be carried still farther and the sug-
gestion made that splendid results
would follow amalgamation of two or
more of the Church societies already
here. This idea is by no means or
iginal with US. 1t has been thought
upon by Skowhegan Pastors and lay
men, from time to time for many a
year Permanent fame and the
gratitude of his townsmen most Ger
tainly await the preacher or lay citi-
zen who can carry thru merger
that will embrace two or more of
our Church organizations.

home. But clothes of this kind are
manufactured so we'll and so cheaply
that there Is no economy in doing the
work at home.
In buying material there is economy
in getting enough for several suits and
cutting them out at the same time.
Plain and striped or checked patterns
are used together, as shown In the IL
lustration. The pieces left after the
garments are cut serve to make the
pockets, cuffs, collars, bands, ETC., and
those of the plain fabric are used on
the checked or striped suit, or those
of the checked on plain suits.
Just now suits made with plain pants
with striped and belted Russian
blouses are much the fashion for lit
tie boys, worn with leather belts In
black. Bright red, blue, green or
brown make the stripes against a white
or unbleached ground, demonstrating
that even the toys of the youngest ath-

sports clothes. But the stanch quail

shown in the picture, always give
them first place in the consideration

In planning negligees one must con-
slider just what purposes they are to
serve, and choose the materials and
style accordingly. The dressiest ones
of today are worn over petticoats, en-
pire slips, or harem trousers made OF
silk or satin, and are long coats OF
thin materials like chiffon or crepe
or organdie or printed voile), lace and
ribbon trimmed. The garment to be
worn under them is of equal impor-
lance and often serves no other pur-
pose than to complete the negligee.
The most practical of elegant neg
ligees are those made of thin wash
fabrics elaborated with dainty laces
and embroidery. to be worn over silk
petticoats or lace-trimmed skirts.
Fine plain white goods In all the sheer
and dainty weaves, are used for max
ing them. They are much trimmed
with lingerie lace and hand needle
work on the body, and skirts open
down the front with band or wide
tucks about the bottom.
Besides the all-white cotton materi-
ais figured voiles and printed mulls
