When the men of the National Army
are located In the training camps they
begin to look for letters from relatives
and friends. There is friendly RI
valry among them in the matter OF
numbers of letters and cards received.
About the easiest and most agreeable
thing we can do for those we know is
to drop an occasional line or so OF
greeting.
The men are kept busy and do not
find 1t always easy to get mail Off also
they are sometimes dilatory. Ii Is a
good idea to address envelopes and
cards, enclose writing paper in the en-
velopes and stamp them. Mail pack
age of this ready-addressed stationery
to the boy In camp and all he has to
do is to write and seal the envelope
ready for mailing, or merely write his
message on ready addressed post
card.
Another convenience for the men In
environments is an inexpensive, small
portfolio, made of linen or khaki. 1t
is about nine inches wide and fifteen
inches long, with pockets on one end
for stationery stamps, cards, and for
three blotters, one above the other,
fastened ut the corners, on the other
end. AT the center there are two loops,
made of narrow straps of linen, to
hold the pen and pencil. The blotters
make writing surface, thus serving q
double purpose. Even ink can be car

Perhaps the newest thing in stock
ings is the very wide stripe--from !
inch to ~ inches. These stripes run
vertically and are made In many col
ors combined with white. Another
new stocking shows stripe formed
by what we should ordinarily term
''run"--that Is to say, the stripe looks
simply as If the up and down threads
of the stocking had been pulled up and
left only the threads crosswise.

Two things, above all others, are re-
quired for the success of the separate
skirt. When 1t Is made In plain, famil-
lar materials 1t must be rescued from
the commonplace by faultless fit and
workmanship. When made Of novelty
weaves the selection of unusual and
appropriate patterns reflects the best
talent or modistes. II takes an instinct
for dress or an educated taste to make
the most Of the separate skirt.
Beautiful color combinations, In
broad and narrow stripes, and original
methods In making are found In the
new separate skirts for afternoon
wear. Some very handsome plaids are
among them but stripes afford better
opportunities for the designer. A fine
example Of what may be done with
them appears in the picture above.
Taffeta, In black, old blue and white
stripes, laid In wide plaits makes a
skirt that can afford TO dispense with
any cost of trimming, II hangs from
q high waIstline where three overlap
ping bias folds make wide girdle ex-
tending to the hip. The same fold is
laid in the semblance Of pocket at
each side finished with a row Of small
black. silk-covered buttons.
There is a wide range Of color CON-
binations to choose from In the striped
and plaid silks and satins shown In
the shops and they promise an In
creased vogue for handsome separate
skirts. Blouses to be worn with these
