w strlking Y in the head dresses that we
will see at the theatre, the opera and
at~hnners and balls this Winter
Glance al the impressive assemblage of them
on this page Into the assemblage has crept the
note Of the brotherhood of the nations. Dress.
without doubt will become more cosmopolitan
after the war. There will be reducing Of the
world s taste in attire to the common denomi-
nator of beauty. There will be less of the dis
tmctIvely national in dress; more of the &C
ceptcd canons Of beauty in line and fabric and
color. Some time we may achieve the world
language Then why shall we not achieve
world dress? The characteristics Of the world

Other German Lies.
Another lie is that American sailors
are sending word to friends that they
are receiving SO many sweaters and
other knitted garments that they are
using them for mops aboard ship.
The Red Cross, through George w.
Simmons OF ST Louis. general man
ager Of the Southwest District, recent.
ly appealed for all knitted garments it
can possibly get. There is a pitiful
shortage and winter is coming on. No
matter how many knitted articles
went aboard a ship. none of them
would be used as mops.
Still another lie is to the effect that
Mrs Frank VI Hammer, chairman Of
the ST Louis Red Cross Chapter, re-
ceives $4,000 a ycal Tor her services,
and that George W. Simmons, chair
man Of the Southwestern District, re-
ceives 100000
Both Mrs Hammer and Simmons do
nate their services and pay their own
travelling expenses. In addition, Sim.
mons and Mrs Hammer have cacn
made large personal subscriptions to
the Red Cross fund.
Yarn for Sweaters Is Free
Another baseless German lie is TO
the effect that the Red Cross is seI-
ing yarn to women who are knitting
sweaters and mufflers for the soldiers.
The basis for this tale is rule en-.
forced BY the Red Cross. which re.
CURES a small deposit when yarn is
turned over to applicants. The deposit
is refunded when the knitted gar
ments and leftover yarn are returned I
That a sweater knit in St. Louis for
the soldiers in France was sold by Red /
Cross workers and identified BY the (
woman who knit it by a piece Of cur I
rency sewed into the fabric is another
German lie.
Heads Of the Red Cross Society in
ST. Louis branded this as a bald fabri.
cation. Nothing handled by the Red
Cross Society is sold.
