Y. w. C. A. AT HOPEWELL
Is NOW BEING FORMED
Is Second Association Organized on
Account of Proximity OF CamP E

A Nttle more than a month ago the
A.. responding to n request from the
Du Potn Co., sent Miss Olive o. Van
Horn TO do special club work among
the industrial and business girls of
IIopewell. The Du Pont plant employs
more than 100 girls in it's offices, the
great majority OF whom are not living
in their own homes. and it was with a
special view to providing sane and
hcalthful recreation and friendly COM
partnership for these that the call was
sent.
Miss VanHorn has been aided by Miss
Florence Simms. national industrial
secretary. in making a thorough sur
vcy OF the situation. At recent meet
ing, under the leadership of these two
workers. the women of Hopcwell ex-
pressed their desire for a regularly or
gained Y. w. Z. A in their town, and
preliminary committee to have
charge of A membership campaign was
appointed as follows: Mrs. Bristow, wife
Of tho county superintendent of schools,
chairman: Mrs. w. l.. Duncan, Mrs.
Archer, Mrs. Page. Miss Grundman
Miss Steinmctz. Miss Armistead, Miss
StutZ, Miss Shugart.
There are in Hopcwcll 1000 women.
most OF whom arc young married
women and girls, and 1000 school chill
drcn. Living conditions, in spite Of the
dormitory erected by the Du Pont Co.
for their female employees. arc far
from attractive, and girls have little
OF home comfort or protection. Should
the plans OF the committee mature the
association will cndcavor to provide
clubs and classes for work OF various
kinds and d competent physical direc-
tor Will be secured Immediately to begin
the work Of keeping the girls in proper
physical trim.
The work at Hopcwell Is the direct
outSrowth of the situation created by
the city's nearness TO Camp Lee. and
this will be the second association
formed in this district in response to
an urgent need tho Petersburg asso-
citation having bcen similarly started
last summer.

Those who want a curious and beau

our most desirable annual climbers.
Seeds of them do not cost much, and a

THE BEAUTY OF VINES
BY JOSEPHINE DE MARI.

When in doubt as to what to plant
plant vines is sound advice. Vines
beautify; they are useful; they are
easy to grow. They shade from the
hot sun; they hide old or obnoxious
features; they encourage the birds tc
nest about the house; they are the
drapery nature throws over and about
with lavish hand to soften and EN-
bellish.
When preparing to plant vines, be
sure to spade deeply, manure heavily
and prepare the soil carefully. After
perennial and hardy vines are estab'
lished it is difficult to cultivate them
therefore, do all you can before plant
ing them. When they begin to spin
they must have supports, otherwise
they will be stunted in growth and I'M
satisfactory.
There are so many beautiful vines
among ANNALS, perennials and hardy
choice Is at all restricted. If you
wish to blot out an old building, cover
it with vines. If you dislike the neces-
sary fence, turn it into thing of beau
ty by planting vines along it's length.
A dead tree renews its youth If
vines are allowed to clothe its
branches. Let vines shade the porch
and thus make 1t cool and leafy re-
treat from the summers sun. Curtain
the shutterless south window with
vines and let them grow about the
home wherever possible.
The grape Is one of the most useful
vines. 1t is hardy; early in the spring
its leaves are ready to cast u shadow.
Its blossoms are delicately fragrant
and It's fruit is delicious. Attention
must be given 1t In the way of fertil-
ity, pruning and tying.
Among the wild vines the trumpet
vine, Tecoma radicans, wild clematis,
virgins bower), and bitter-sweet are
popular. In transplanting the latter
from the woods be sure that you pro-
cure one that is fertile, for some Of
them do not bloom. The Dutchman's
pipe is another desirable wild vine, but
1t is not as common as those men
toned above.
The wild climbing rose has all ex-
quiSite flower; and, once started, grows
shoots ten to fifteen feet high in one
season.
The climbing roses are led by the
rambler, and its hybrids. However, its
foliage gets shabby and spoils its beau
ty as a porch plant. 1t makes a brave
show when blooming. The good old
prairie queen still continues to be the
standard climbing rose. All the Ayr

Bobbed Hair on WAY.

1t may be that the style of hair
dressing adopted by the Bohemian ele-
ment Of feminine art students will
spread throughout the realm of wom-
ankind. Word comes from Paris. and
1t Is confirmed in America, that bob
bed hair may shortly supplement the
masses of coils and waves that have
been in style for some time.
A more practical reason for the i'm
pendiag change Is advanced by reason
of the number of women who will adopt
a more or less masculine uniform gov

or at the front. 1t claimed that short
hair is more convenient, more hygenic
