A THOUGH society has not en-
IA tirely deserted the social gayeties,
a n il now seems to be the disposition
of the leisure world to confine all of
the larger affairs to the benefit enter
tainments.
This of course, is a clever idea, and
just now is engrossing lot of thought
and time of the women who will spon-
sor these benefits, and will be respon-
sible for their success.
All manner of entertainments will of
course be given, bringing together ev-
cry element of society in spirit of
altruism, which will make the gayety
only side product.
Along with this overwhelming rush
of patriotic movements, there has been
time now and then, for few ordinary
social affairs, at which matrons and
maids gather in their own particular
set for a little recreation from the
tedium.
But even while they are enjoying a
little diversion their only thought
seems to be service" and if it is
cards they are piling up the dollars for
the relief fund, giving the money for
merly spent for favors to the Red Cross
society 10
A notable event Of Wednesday and
one of the most delightful of the week,
was the silver bridge given for the
benefit of the Red Cross society, at the
residence of Mrs. NJ Il. Breyman.
The Thursday afternoon club, COM
posed of about II prominent matrons,
was responsible for this charming func-
ti0n. which was a huge success finar-
eially, and in its yield of delight for
those who were fortunate enough tc
be among the guests
The Breyman residence is wonderful
ly arranged for large functions, and
the attractive rooms, decked with huge
clusters Of purple lilacs, rose pink rho
dodendrons and tulips, were thronged
with matrons and maids, all eager to
do their bit.
There were 20 tables of bridge ar
ranged for tie players, and more than
$4,000 was realized for the Red Cross
fund from II Is affair and from the
iitney dance which followed in the ev-
ening.
At the refreshment hour the host
esses donned their Red Cross uniforms,
making an attractive ensemble, in
white aprons and caps, adorned with
vivid red crosses.
Following the bridge in the evening
the hostesses were joined at the Brey--
man residence by their husbands, and
the party wound up the day with jit-
ney dance, which considerably swelled
their afternoon IS harvest.
Along with the dance there were all
manner of novel features to rid the
merrymakers of their money, one of
the most popular being vaudeville
stunt bv George Rodgers and Mrs. Will
liam II. Daney.
Those aiding in the success of the
afternoon affair were:
Mrs. John II. Albert, Mrs.
Chauneey Bishop, Mrs, Asahel Bush,
Mrs. Harry f. Clay, Mrs. William G.
Knighton, Mrs. w. Melvin Plimpton,

Americas Fighting Forces.

The United States marine corps are
the soldiers of the sea. Kipling refers
to the marine as "sailor and soldier,
too"-an apt description. The marine
does not man the ship in the sense of
sailing it. His business is to fight on
sea or land, and, in each instance, as
a regiment of the army might do were
it temporarily detached to serve aboard
a battleship. The term of enlistment
IS for four years. This Is the term of
enlistment, also for the navy. No re-
cruit can enlist for a shorter period
unless the president should authorize.
Fundamentally, the difference between
the regular army and the National
Guard lies in the fact that the former
is under the command Of the president
while the latter, until 1t is taken into
the federal service. Is under command
of the governors of the respective
states. When the National Guard Is
taken into the federal service 1t be-
comes, to all intents and purposes.
portion of the federal army and Is
subject to the presidents orders and
may be employed as the president
sees fit, either at home or abroad. pre-
cisely as he would employ the regular
army.

the apron is cover-all affair OF white

opens in front as far as the waist line,
and Is closed by means Of pairs Of

Across the front of the apron on the
waist are embroidered sprays Of flow

Adopt II Chiefly Because Of Grow
ing Aversion to Marked
WaistIine.


New York.-There Is no doubt that
the increasing popularity Of wooden
jersey has solved several problems of
Importance for many women. 1t has
been difhcult to ind suitable COM
promise between serge and muslin for
warm weather. When that weave
known as Jersey made its appearance
in sweaters, 1t was greeted with en-
thusiasm, for there were undoubted
disadvantages In the knitted garment
on hot days. and there has come about
such a rooted aversion to the marked
waistline, or. rather, the admission of
1t by leaving It uncovered, that every
woman, slim or stout. desires a sack
of some kind to drop from shoulders
to hips. In Jersey one-piece frocks
they find TIE right substitute for the
skirt and separate blouse.
The French have always been the
strongest opponents of that keenly
drawn division Of the skirt from the
bodice, and even after they adopted
the Anglo-Saxon coat and skirt made
OF mannish suitings, severely built,
they did not remove the jacket in the
house.
In those days we were in the habit
of laughing at them and showing at
all times rather contemptuous atti-
tude toward their abuse, as we said,

the French; and then, when they had
worked down, and had that long talk
said boldly, little pale, she said, as
she told me the story, years after:
"And what do you hear from home,
Mrs. Graff?"
And that splendid creature looked
through him. JOve! how she must
have looked through him! Home J.!
Mr.. Nolan!!! 1 thought you were the
T.man who never wanted to hear of
home again !" and she walked directly
up the deck to her husband, and left
poor Nolan alone, as he always was.
He did not dance again.
cannot give any history Of him in
order; nobody can now; and, indeed,
am not trying to. These are the ira
ditiOns. which l sort out, as l believe
them, from the myths which have been
told about this man for forty years.
The fellows used to say he was the
Iron Mask" and poor George Pons
went to his grave in the belief that
this was the author of "Junius," who
was being punished for his celebrated
libel on Thomas jefferson. POns was
not very strong in the historical line.
A happier story than either of these
have told is of the war That came
along soon after. l have heard this
affair told in three or four ways, and,
indeed, it may have happened more
than once. But which ship it was on
l cannot tell. However, in one, at
least, of the great frigate duels with
the English, in which the navy was
really baptized, it happened that a
round shot from the enemy entered
one of our ports square, and took right
down the officer of the gun himself,
and almost every man of the guns
crew. Now you may say what you
choose about courage, but that is not
nice thing to see. But as the men
who were not killed picked themselves
up, and the surgeons people were car
rying off the bodies, there appeared
Nolan, in his shirt sleeves. with the
hammer in his hand, and, just as if he
had been the officer told them off with
authority, who should go to the cock
pit with the wounded men, who should
stay with him, perfectly CHEEKY, and
with that way which makes men feel
sure all is right and is going to be
right. And he finished loading the
| gun with his own hands, aimed it, and
babe the men fire. And there he
stayed, captain of that gun, keeping
those fellows in spirits, till the enemy
struck. sitting on the carriage while
the gun was cooling, though he was
exposed all the time, showing them
easier ways to handle heavy shot, max.
ing the raw hands laugh at their OWL
blunders, and when the gun cooled

Quiet though his words were, there
was a panied reprOach in the tone. He
had asked Hetty Bray to marry him,
and she had put him off, while not re-
jecting him. She had told him they
must wait till he was better able to
face the responsibility. He had be-
lieved that she loved him, but was
only putting him on his mettle to spur
him on to greater energy and achieve
ment. But her words had set doubts
astir in his heart. Still, he might be
mistaken, so he begged her not to go.
Hetty got her letter from her friend

She was one of large family, and the
father and mother did not object.

from the country found herself behind

the same floor at another counter. She
had secured small bedroom in the
same house where she lived for Hetty.
The work proved so hard to the
newcomer, and she came home so ut
terly exhausted every night. it seemed
to her she must give it up. But pride
forbade quitting, and after time she
became used to her task and stood II

Sadie, two or three times, took her tC
