How to Secure and Fit Up Red Cross Workroom

After an auxiliary of the Red Cross
has been formed and has determined
upon the specific work which it will
do place of meeting must be secured.
A light room will be needed where
work tables will accommodate the
women who volunteer to do the work
in hand. In many cities and towns
business men donate vacant rooms in
commercial buildings for this purpose.
In all the large department stores in
the country, floor space has been al
lotted to this work and placards, post
ed throughout the stores, invite shop
pers to give an hour or so of their
time to Red Cross work.
The workrooms of millinery shops
are turned over to Red Cross workers
in the evening, in some of the smaller
cities and towns. 1t is best to secure
vacant room in a store building or
space in q store, to be used solely for
Red Cross work. Club women and
members of various women's organi-
cations, church societies, ETC., can be
allotted a definite time during each
week, to meet in body and work to-
gether, in these rooms.
When a room has been secured it
must be fitted with work tables and
chairs. Plain wooden chairs and long
tables are best and the tables are to
be covered with oilcloth, if possible, SO
that they can be easily kept clean.
Nails along the walls, or elsewhere,
will be needed in which big overall
aprons are to be hung. Above each
nail small ticket pasted to the wall
carries the name of the owner of the
apron, or a string ticket may be used
on the apron. A few extra aprons
should be provided for volunteer work
ers who may not be able to come regu-
larly, but drop in at odd times to give
an hour or so to the work. Two or

By way of reducing the high cost of
living, silk appears to be the chosen
fabric for summer suits, rather than
woolen fabrics. The industrious silk
worm, aided and abetted by other
things known to manufacturers, have
made silks cheaper in comparison with
woolens than they used to be. Silk
jersey, poplin and taffeta are cool and
elegant substitutes for light woolens,
and besides these there are the new
weaves, made especially for summer
wear, and pongee to strengthen the
cause of silk.
A beige-colored suit of silk poplin
shown in the illustration measures up
to the highest standard in new styles.
1t has a wide cape collar, of the epau-
lette variety, and the inevitable pock-
cts that appear on all well-regulated
models. The collar is extended into
revers at the front of the coat and there
is an overcollar of printed silk, the
