In the accompanying sketch, there are
often additional touches of black about
the dress, for instance on the belt and
sleeves and the trimming on the front Of

the popular darning-stich enriches some
of these frocks. In others, bead work
is used, As an example of this last,

skirts of black satin arc also worth with
white Georgette blouses made i'll Russian

Russian styles still keep at the height
of popularity. When they are worn with
suits they appears in any of the VARYING
lengths, from the short hip length to
below the knee. A striking black satin
dress recently seen was made with a

over a very full pleated skirt. The

0NIY a Volunteer.

Perhaps it is largely imagination,
but there appears to be general be-
lief among the boys who volunteered
their services in the army that too
much "fuss and feathers is made
over those who were later drafted into
the army-in comparison to the atten-
ton given them. The volunteers
very properly believe they are entitled
to as much credit and honor as the
drafted boys, if not more.
Hugo Funke, one Of the Cotton
wood boys with Co. L, 10th Engi-
neers, who was this week transferred
from Charlotte to Long Island, pre-
paratory to sailing for France, in a
letter just received by his parents
Mr., and Mrs. John Funke-gives his
views on this subject in poetry form
as follows:
Why dldn t l wait to be drafted
And be led to the train by band,
Or out on a claim for exemption?
Oh, why did l hold up my hand?
Why didn't | wait for the banquet?
Why didn't | wait to be cheered2
For the drafted men get the credit,
While | merely volunteered!
And nobody gave me banquet,
Nobody said kind word.
The puff Of the engine, the grind of
the wheels,
Was all the goodbye l heard
Then off to training camp hustled
To be drilled for the next halfyear,
And perhaps in the shuttle forgotten
For I'm only volunteer!
And perhaps, some day in the future,
! When little boy sits on my knee
And asks what did in the great war,
And his little eyes look up at me,
| will have to look back into those
eyes
That at me so trustingly peer
And confess that | wasn't drafted,
That | was only volunteer
