Medical Work for Children.

-
What is being accomplished by the
American Red Cross for the children
Of France is indicated in The follow
ing cable just received from Major
Grayson Mp. Murphy Red Cross
Commissioner to France:
1.-THE medical work for children
which the American Red Cross has
undertaken at Toul had its formal
opening in the presence of the project
Of the department. two generals of
the French army, the senator of the
department and several American
doctors and nurses. The French and
American flags were raised in front
Of the new brick barracks given by
the French government for the chill
dren's refuge. The project warmly
thanked the American Red Cross for
its help with the children.
1.-THE new staff, consisting Of sew
eral specialists in children's diseases
work under the direction of DR.. Sedg-
wick, professor of %pediatrics in the
University of Minnesota. A large dis
trict back of the lines at that point
has been forced to remove all chill
dren to places of greater safety, and
several hundred children at Pompey
and Fouard, the towns nearby which
are under almost constant bomb at
tack, have been examined and are
being removed from their refuge in
caves to the Asile at Toll as quickly
as possible.
1.-THE work Of the infrmary estab-
lished by the American Red Cross has
been greatly augmented by the gift Of
a Children's Hospital from an Amer
lean committee. This hospital Of
eighty beds is already being equipped,
and will become the center Of the
American Red Cross welfare work for
the entire department at Meurthe ct
Moselle, a work heartily endorsed by
! the project of the department.
1.-The need Of such work is over
whelming, and the American Red
Cross is directing from this center at
Toul an educational campaign of
Child Hygiene and Preventive Meas
ures that Is reaching all the villages
and big refuge asylums for children
at Nancy and Pompey and other
nefghboring towns"

("BeSt Dressed Woman on the Stacey
A street costume ought to be plain,
serviceable, and at the same time
chic and attractive. That is why my
favorite for street veal is this severe
tailor-made suit Of gabardine. 1t is
cut in English military style, with
large side patch pockets and two in
vested breast pockets. and belted in
rather snugly at the waist. 1t is a
very practical and serviceable style.
The color, care au lait, is one of the
best for street ear The pockets are
specially convenient. The coat has the
lay-down collar and broad reveres,
and is trimmed with bone buttons. The
circular skirt is perfectly plain.
While this suit follows the fashion,
it does not contain too much material
to interfere with walking.
The hat gives a chic touch to the
costume. It takes away from Its
severity. It is Of soft French felt, the
sole trimming being a wool fringe
dropping over the Tapping brim. I
have lever had a street costume that
pleased me more.
