Christmas packets for the soldiers
and sailors must be got under way at
once, and those to go to France must
be ready to start on their journey by
the 18th of November. Most Of the
men will be well remembered by their
families, but in order that every man
may be sure to receive something, Red
Cross chapters will undertake to for
ward packets, to be distributed among
the soldiers providing the packets are
made according to their directions.
They make the following suggestions:
"For wrapping gifts use a khaki
colored handkerchief, q inches square,
and form the base of the packet by
placing on the center of the packet
pad Of writing paper about seven by
ten inches. Select a variety Of arti-
cles to an amount not exceeding S1.5O,
and arrange them on the pad Of paper
so that the entire package shall be the
width Of the pad and approximately
five or six inches high. Wrap and tie
with one.inch red ribbon, and place a
Christmas card under the bow Of rib
bon. Wrap the parcel again In
heavy light brown manila paper and
tie securely with red, green or gilt
cord, and use Christmas labels"
Small tin or wooden boxes holding
half pound or less will keep dried
fruits, candy. fruit cake, fruit crack
ers, etc, in good shape. These are the
things which the soldiers will enjoy
most mt Christmas time. The Red
Cross recommends, among other
things, the following presents: Writ
ing paper pad, envelopes, post cards,
pencil. books Tin paper covers) home
made scrap book, knife, such as boy
scouts use, steel mirror. handker-
chiefs, .neckties, mouth organ, mechan.

HATS FEEL FABRIC SHORTAGE
Many Of the Sport Variety Made Of
Chenille and Wool Materials
That Simulate Felt.

As the season advances the diff
Guilty In procuring felt and velour
shapes becomes more apparent, due to
the demands Of the army, and many
sports hats are being made Of wool
fabrics that simulate felt, and also Of
chenille.
Sometimes the chenille Is sewed to-
gether In close rows, and again knit
ted or crOcheted effect Is developed.
Fortunately Dame Fashion approves
the small and medlum-slzed hat rather
than the big, spreading picture affair.
This ruling accords well with the fab
ric shortage, which Is felt fully as
much In the millinery field as In the
larger one covering cOats, suits. etc.
Fashion In children's hats vary but
slightly from last year, and even ut
the risk of annoying the young miss,
who undoubtedly will feel that she Is
clearly entitled to a new hat, last sea-
sons model may be carefully retrim'
med without anyone outside the fam
lily being the wiser! Poke and mush'
room shapes are the preferred ones
for Juveniles.

The lovely Flanders gown which
graces this page may have been de-
signed for an evening gown for some
one who Is serious minded, or as a
dinner gown for some one who likes
to dress up to the limit for the In

model that will appeal to the woman
of fine perceptions and elegant taste.
The American designer of this and
other gowns appears to have arrived,
with styles that suit and express the
American woman and are as beauti-
full as any France has sent to us.
This gown Is of orchid satin, not
in one of the pale. pinkish shades, but
in purple which ought to be called
royal from Its character, but is too
light to be classed under that head.
1t Is wonderful shade, vivid and rich
and exquisite. No one but an artist
should take the liberty Of working with
such fabric, for the design must
not fail to equal the material In class.
The skirt Is almost plain. 1t Is beau
tifully draped with the side drapery
that continues to be favored. The
bodice is equally simple with sur
pllce fronts extended into end.

There are many women who, when

In almost alright houses. This Is
wrong, Of course, both for beauty and
health. Some skins nre sensitive to
cold and direct contact with wintry

A Blouse In Three Shades,

A blouse Of colored chiffon boasts
Of three shades instead Of the GUS
tomary two-the three being dull peri
wlnkle blue, deep violet and orchid
color. The resulting effect Is one of
the most charming seen In any of the
color combinations. The underbodice
Is orchid color, and the sleeves are
half Of this shade.
A deep band Of violet color, cut into
points Mt the top, Is used ut the bot
tom of the sleeves and there are cuffs
Of periwinkle blue with flaring band
ut the top, lined In orchid. The over
blouse Is Of periwinkle with vest
made Of orchid, and an oddly shaped
rolling collar Of violet, lined In blue.
There is no embroidery or trimming
Of any other sort on the blouse.

Japaneee Motifs.

Several of the French designers are
turning to Japan for much of their in
spiratiOn. This probably means that
Japanese motifs will be seen In en-
broidery, as much as they We're seen
last year on the new frocks.
One of the attractive afternoon
frOcks shown recently In n smart shop
is of georgette crepe. Long cylindrical
white beads are used as trimming, and
they are so embroidered on the skirt
as TO form perpendicular lines from
belt to hem.

The Sleeveless coatee.

el, which was designed bs Premet, was
velours de laine In warm shade Of
"shrapnel.gray." The coatee was
rather short and of "sac" outline, with
large gun-metal buttons down the
front, and trimmings Of civet-cat fur.
The fact that there were no sleeves
permitted the smart blouse under
meath to be seen to advantage.
A special point connected with this
little garment was Its lining, which
was made Of printed silk which
showed dark blue and black designs
on an orange ground.
Nowadays Innings are of the utmost
Importance, and since the happenings
Of this most terrible war have made
silken goods cheaper than serge or
cloth, ut least In France, brOcades and
printed silks are being freely used for
Innings, even In the case Of simple
tailored suits.

BELTS KNITTED IN SWEATERS
Models Of This Kind More Graceful
on Slender, Youthful Figures
Than on the Large Woman.

Many of the new sweaters have the
belt knitted in and these models are
very graceful on slender. youthful fig
ures but the large woman looks bet
ter in sweater with separate belt,
buttoned or tied like q sash. The lat
ter soft of belt may be adjusted to
suit the lines of the figure and the
knitted coat does not cling as closely
as one with the waistline drawn In
by purled band.
When the belt is knitted the slip.on
model is favored and for autumn
these slip.on sweaters have sleeves
and very often deep sailor collars.
A very good looking model of heavy
white wool is purle din large ribs the
whole length of the sweater. The
sleeve, set in separately, is purled al
SO, and the wide rib makes the sweat
er warm and substantial looking for
autumn wear. Wide and narrow
stripes in purple border the sleeve, the
lower edge of the collar and the waist
band, which is set into the sweater
with smaller needles.
Brown sweaters are considered
smart this season and a popular model
is Of brown English mohair wool
which has rough surface like an
CORA. The belt and trimmings are of
brown Scotch wool with stripes In
lighter brown.
Very high colors are favored in silk
sweaters and the best models have a
corrugated stitch forming heavy rib.
Sashes are wider than ever and are
trimmed with deep fringe; and sweat
er pockets are very large with a point

Man and His Weight.

Between forty and fifty man who
allows his weight to remain high is
running more danger of an early de-
mise than he would run t. he contract
ed typhoid fever. What is more, If he
were stricken with that disease, his
chance would be 10 per cent less than
normal. A man who Is thinner than
the average, on the other hand, has
less danger of dying in the decade
than man who tips the scales at the
normal figure. -...
