The Sailors Appreciate Gifts. :

Mrs. Anna Steesc Richardson writes II
the March Woman's Home Companions
"As for knitted garments. | wish you
could have been with me one day at q
certain naval base near New York when
the crew of ship which had been acci.
dentallv sunk in our very harbor entered
the chaplain's office to receive their fresh
suppIv of knitted garments They had
all lost their clothing, barely escaping
with their lives.
The boys lined up like the we'll
trained sailors they were, tucked their
supplies under their arms and marched
out again. headed by an officer. But the
moment they broke ranks outside head
quarters, each boy became absorbed in
his own particular package of knitted
garments and comfort bag turning the
sweaters. the helmets. the wristlets and
even the bags inside out. pokiug inquir-
ing fingers into every corner.
"What are they looking for-sizes ?

"'Dear. no. said my guide with a
laugh. Letters. notes. the addresses of
the lady who knitted the garment ar
filed the bag They want to write back
and say thank YOU
After watching their frenzied search

make me believe that the boys do not
appreciate such gifts"

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

A really lovely bag that is half huff is intended for theater use. The foundation of the one saw was a piece of old dull brocade. Or 1t could be fresh and dainty as one prefers. It measures about thirty three inches long and about twelve inches wide.
 This is lined in silk in plain color and the edges overcast. Next, this is folded so the two ends come in the middle. Then the sides are sewed up, creating two pockets, and all of the edges are finished with a narrow cord in a color harmonizing with the lining or a narrow piece of fur.
 When complete the lower ends of the two pockets or bags are brought together and secured at the corner with strong stitches. There are no handles because the bag is worn on the arm like 8 huff. This is most practical anl convenient model be- cause it leaves both hands free, also being of ample size to take all neces- sary articles, such as opera glasses, handkerchiefs, vanity case and even a pair of slippers if required. Some of these bags have 8 closing of loops and buttons, but closing of any kind is not really necessary.

DIR. ELIZABETH BLACKWELL.

The first woman physician in Amer Sea was Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, who received the degree of M. D. at Gen. eva, N. Y, 70 years ago today. Miss Blackwell was a native of Bristol. England, but came to America in her youth. When she was about q she determined to become a physician, but her application for admission was refused by nearly all of the leading colleges of the United States and Can ada. A little medical college in Gen eva, however, accepted her, and she became one of the most brilliant stu dents of the institution. She suffered. however, from social ostracism in the town, as the Geneva hostesses regard ed her either as insane pr wicked Miss Blackwell, after finishing her course, attended medical colleges in Europe and practiced in several con 4tinental hospitals. She then returned to New York, where she opened an infirmary for women and children and organized a wSoman's medical col- dege.

long remembered by those privileged to witness 1t.
 In one of the regiments from Amer ica'S Sunny South there was a cer- tain daredevil who had become restive under the inactivity of the day and finally, when the strain of waiting had about reached the cracking point with him. he suddenly announced to his com panions that he wanted boche, that he wanted to meet heinie single handed, fight him, whip him. get a sou venir from him and bring 1t back wsth him.
 At first his pals refused to take him seriously, and suggested that he turn over-that he was sleeping on his back. But the boy from the Southland meant what he said. and as they saw the look in his eye and realized that he actually intended to have a try at making his wish come true, they endeavored to per suade him to give up the idea But he wouldn't listen to their arguments. He had made up his mind to get boche, and get boche he would.

things left standing in the desolats area between the lines, and there, by some queer turn of chance, he came face to face with a Hun scout, who evidently hadn't seen the Americans approach. The scout was a Prussian, and all that could be desired in the way of 8 formid- able antagonist.
 There was no delay in opening hostill- ties. With aayonets they were at each other in a second sparr1ng, feinting, 5ab- ping, rushing, then backing away and rushing again, and all the while the Americans in their trench watched tho battle with fascinated eyes. Evidently the Germans were doing the same thing. for not shot was fired while the fight was on.

PALM BEACH FASHIONS.

Palm Beach fashions express all the joyousness of victory. Never were they more brilliant This does not mean, however, that they are not i1j good taste. War has incu1cated a sincerity, even in the heart of so frothy a personality as Dame Fashion and one finds, with but few excep- tions, costumes which, while new, are far from radical or bizarre. They are clothes such as a sincere woman who is a lover of beauty would select, says the Philadelphia Record.
 Suits for Southern wear are per haps receiving more attention than any other kind of garment, at least that is the impression that a review gives one.
 The new suits of tricollette are charming and are worn for dress to a surprising extent, in many cases usurping the place of the afternoon frock. Those vested with a gay crepe silk having moonlight sheen are al- together lovely. These vests are in- variably direct contrast both in

She Tells Why Most Slender Women Look Their B.

' HAVE decided that my fayortte color
 Is gray. Tomorrow l may change, but today it's gray.
 You would agree with me If you could see the lovely gray gowns which we are showing. Some are made of velvet, won drous gray velvet, with moonlight in It's depths; some are gray cashmere, with soft, fiat tones, which suggest the habit of 0 nun In picturesque convent Of the old world, or possibly the dress Of Quaker maiden who just had to be sprightly.
 Gray combines so beautifully with blue or with rose or with blue and rose used together in a girdle, with just touch of silver somewhere on the gown.
 I believe most slender women look their best In gray, given the right color combination with 1t and the right line for their figures. Of course, very stout women should avoid gray as they would the influenza, because gray broadens the lines and makes them look larger.
 I remember once seeing a musical comedy in which the chorus wore fam tastio costumes, one side of which was gray, the other black. Their bodies looked deformed, because the black was so thinning and the gray had the op- posite effect The contrast was obvi- ous. The stouter woman should stick to black or navy for the street.
 Gray velvet is exquisite when com bined with chinchilla fur. However, chinchilla Is well nigh priceless these days. Squirrel, which carries a sheen Of brown in It's depths. Is very fashionable, contrasted with gray velvet, cashmere or tricohne.
 You will like this luncheon gown of gray tricotine with a band of gray squir- rel on the deep, square collar, which suggests a cape. The gray of this tri- eotine Is a warm gray, that Is. 1t car

ries a slight suggestion of tan in the dye. just enough to lift it into a. very attractive color.
 The front of the blouse is very plain, except for a round band of gray squir- rel that finishes the throat line and ends under the cape collar, which starts at the shoulder seam. Button mould5I covered with gray trleotine, hold this collar where It meets the fur. 4 broader band of gray squirrel is repeated across the edge of the collar.
 The sleeves Of this gown are long and very tight. They are sewed into tha narrow shoulder line. A belt of gray suede with silver nail heads snugly fits the waistline A row of tricotine but tons runs the length of the skirt at ths back. where the seam laps in the form of three-inch tuck.
 From the front of the dress Is sus- pended an apron of tricotine, whose points overlap the back. This apron cascades at the side, few buttons are set on the bias line below the belt. This apron is faced with navy blue char, mouse. This blue facing is the only note Of color on the gown.
 Dark blue Is repeated in the velvet hat which. is worn with this dress. Two weaves of velvet in the same shade ara used on this hat. The crown Is silk velvet of the lifted pile variety, whiIa the band which swathes the tur5an is panne velvet, which, as you know, is velvet ironed flat. This band Is embroid. cred in little irregular lines with blue silk floss in a darn stitch. This idea makes a very effective and refined trim ming. Drocping from the side back o1 the hat Is a blue ostrich plume, whosa frondes fall over the hair with a care- less and graceful line.
 The color combination is lovely.

 WONTAN's DANGER PERIOD,

The period between forty-fve and ffty-f1ve years of age is said to be a crisis or danger period in womans s life which tests her for her fitness to continue in the race. It is then that she suffers from such annoying symptoms as heat-fashes, nervous ness, headaches, "the blues" or dread of impending evil, or some dormant disease in the system becomes active. When woman Is passing through this crisis there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E.

color and material to the suit Of which they are a part
 While lines vary and the tricollette lines are softer than some of the more tailored materials, tailored effects do predominate, especially in the shan lungs. Ror example, one popular model has military epaulettes and patch breast pockets The back of the jacket is formed of inverted pleats and there is long rolling notched collar. The tricollettes favor rolling and shawl collars, very often of the contrasting material used in vests A few of the coats are collarless. Jer- seys are also popular.
 Tucks which incline upward have much chic, and are used upon narrow skirts, usually emphasized by silk stitching. Seams are softened and camoufaged by narrow box pleats, but this is only upon the dressier models. These harmonize well with the deep cuff hems upon the bottoms of some of the jackets, hems which are sometimes stitched so as to form pockets.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

What do you think of a sofa cushion or at least trimmed with it? They are warm and cozy just now, no doubt but what will become of them next July is a question. Often a piece of fur can be used for these cushions that is not quite good enough to use on hat, huff or suit and in this way can be used to some ad- vantage.
 Cushions of silk patchwork are be- ing revived with the patchwork quilt The darker pieces are usually used in making the border, while the brighter ones are reserved for the center. In making the silk patch work the pieces must be pasted on stiff paper such as heavy brown paper, with the edges turned back over the paper. The pieces are joined by whipping together on the under side and not until the whole cushion cover has been made should the paper be pulled out.
 Of these patchwork cushions the round ones are best liked. One very striking one has a border of dark brown with a star of bright yellow for the center. Of course the square cushions are used as well as the long and narrow ones and they are made to match the room in which they are to be used.
 We need not think that we are ex- travagant to serve pies if we use a simple pie crust and the family are fond of this old New England luxury. Try this crust the next time you bake pie. Scald two parts of oatmeal with one part of hot water, roll thin. This bakes very quickly and is only used in making pies with one crust This crust is very tender and pos sesses all of the desirable qualities of shortened pie crust with none of their deleterious properties.

HEFT HOME SOLD.

The beautiful spacious home of Mrs. Mary J. M. Heft on Park avenue and all it's furnishings were sold a few days ago to MT. and Mrs. Remem- brance B. Kent of Western Pennsyl- vania. MT. Kent bought the home, which he will occupy in the spring, so that two daughters may have the op- portunity to spend most of their time in New York city. The beautiful paintings did not go with the sale.
