Is Now an Aviator

Several cablegrams have been re-
ceiyed from Albert ,spalding. the
world-renowned sviolinist, who cam
celled his entire concert tour for the
present. season and enlisted in the
aviation corps. This would have un-
doubtedly been Spalding's greatest
season in .America as he had been en-
gagged by practically all of the leading
musical clubs, societies, colleges, and
symphony orchestras throughout the
country and at the time of his enlistI
ment. last June. over ss5.0Oo worth of
concerts had been booked.
The contingent to which Mr.. Spald-

musical circles complimenting him on
his patriotism in his effort to do his

ABOUT SUITS.
Why We Have One Pieces
From Paris Instead of Them.

When the war started 1t took away
as soldiers many of the expert tailors,
and the clever couturiers to bridge this
difficulty paid more attention than eyer
to the designing of street dresses and
one piece frocks. In fact, they were
SO clever in this respect that few WON
en- realized that If they had wanted
smart suits they would have been
compelled to go to one of the two
houses that retained t%ailors who could
develop smart suits. Callot and Paquin
both have had to offer their patrons
not only beautiful n piece frocks and
street dresses, but suits that women
could not resist buying. The majority
of women followed blindly the lead of
their particular couturier, and even
when they started out to buy a suit
they returned with a frock or a street
dress, SO cleverly were they talked into
purchasing what the couturier had to
sell.
There Is scarcely a doubt that In
a season or two suits will be such q
novelty hat they will be In demand
and tailors will have to be procured
from somewhere, or, better still, wom-
en- will have to learn this particular
art.
OF the two suits seen recently in the
Bots both had rather long coats, n
almost long enough to coAceal the
skirt. 1t is predicted by some that
long coats will be smart for fall, and
this may be another whim with a real
idea behind 1t of the couturiers, for If
1t Is still difficult to obtain tailors 1t
would be a simple matter to make the
coats a bit longer and eliminate the
skirt-and behold the topper again!

Better Buy an Immunity Badge

Arrangements for Red Cross Day and
bazaar, have been completed after a
week of strenuous work on the part of
several of the members. The bazaar
will be open all day and evening of
Saturday, August 25, in the headquar-
tiers ia the Casino block on the board
walk where cakes, candies, cigars, food
stuffs, articles of clothing and adorn-
ment, etc., will be on sale at moderate
prices. In addition to that, tags, pins,
pennants, ETC., will be on sale in differ
ent parts of the city by members who
are working In behalf of the Red Cross
to raise the funds needed for the carry
ing on of the Red Cross relief work.
The best way is to buy an immunity
badge early in the day and wear it
prominently displayed and you will
not be approached again throughout
the day. A hearty cooperation from
all will bring big returns with little ex-
pense and labor from anyone. Above
all, extend every courtesy to those who
approach you, for they are working
without any returns for their labor and
deserve great credit for the work they
are doing.
