The work being done by the state
Department Branch of the Red Cross
grows apace in interest as its field
extends, and there is an absolute GER
tainty in every bit Of work Mrs.
Robert Lansing and her assistants are
doing.
Word came back from Europe early
in war days that the stockings were
not right. the shirts and pajamas and
what not were wanting in this that
or that other way, and in fact. much
of the knitting was ravelled out and
reknit. That is not so now in any
branch of Red Cross work being done
in Washington and since various or
ganizations united, 1t is universally
true Of the work OF women all over
the country The Red Cross furnishes
the patterns and stipulations and the
women follow them.
To be doubly sure of their work for
the Belgian and French children and
other unfortunates OF the war zone
Mrs. Robert Lansing and her sssis-
tants are working from patterns sent
them direct from France. That Is
why the little garments they make
have such a quaint and even foreign
aspect.
The small black sateen aprons fol
little boys are particularly quaint
while the little pantaloons and blouses
dresses, aprons and other garments
all have a decided foreign note.
Washington society women are econ
omizing in dress. This is not paru'
cularly perceptible in their appear

first DAYS Of the Roosevelt administra-
ton when Mrs. Roosevelt was made to
say that 500 a year was sufficient TO:
the wardrobe of any woman.
There are some exceedingly gay
looking frocks being constructed FOL
the girls who dance. but in street
clothes they are curtailing almost as
closely as are their elders.
