THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by ANNE RIrrENHoUsE
For Boys Wardrobe.

Much as you may regret the intro
duction of the military and naval note
into the clothes your little boy wears
the fact is that the majority Of clothes
made for boys this season and by far
the majority of those that appeal to
gestive Of the soldiers or sailors uni
form. If in no other detail the in
fluence would be seen in the belt and
buckle forever present on overcoat
and often on suit coat, that took its
inspiration from the so-called trench
coat Of the soldier.
And just to show how far the in
f1uence has gone note some OF the
names given to coats and suits by one
progressive boys outfitter. Behold
them: Lloyd George. Hoover, which is
described as -'swagger military
red flannel lining''-just why sugges-
tive Of Hoover or the food administra-
ton it might be hard to tell-Clemen-
ceau, Lansing, Viviani and Churchill.
And for smaller boys are offered suits
named sergeants. Scout, Corporal.
For inspiration Of design they go to
the double breasted Russian uniform,
the uniform of a French ace as well
as practically every uniform worn by
men in our own country's service.
We do hear a lot about wool short

sure they are higher than prices that

not much in advance of those of last

| at least built for service, these uni

] ing they inspire is substantial and
+, warm with overcoats that button well
up to the neck and a variety of hats
| that cover the head and ears in a
! splendid manner. At least it is better

the use Of metallic jersey. They are
less decollete than for several decades;
they are often high at the back and
low in the front; they often pay trib
ute to the formality of the evening
hours by merely an egg-shaped open
ing at the shoulders; the hens are
toes, they at least sweep the instep-
This is in keeping with the strong
American tendency toward longer
skirts. It's a struggle between the
American and the French idea, but
those in authority think that the for
mer will win out. No one wishes tai
lored suits for street activities to have
long skirts, but there is undoubtedly
a strong movement to go against the
French verdict of ten to sixteen inches
off the ground. Smart women on ev-
cry side are wearing house gowns, aft
ernoon gowns and evening gowns that
are decidedly longer than fashion has
called for in several seasons.
The gown in the sketch is OF metal
jersey and shows the decolletage
which is high at back and low in front,
the Oriental waistline, which is still in
very good fashion, the straight panel
at the back, which, by the way, should
always be kept for an evening gown
and never worn on the street, and the
usage of Russian squirrel.
A shaped band of this peltry is
placed at the hip-line; it forms a
padded collar at the back Of the neck
and 1t weights the end of the panel
so that 1t can turn itself into a tiny
train.

YANKS TO Benefit
Kansas Soldiers in France To
Have Better Mail Service.
Senator Thompson Tells of I'M
prOVementS Overseas.
MAKE YOUR LETTERS CHEERFUL
Kansas Statesman, Who Was
There, Knows What 1t Means.
Many Delays Because of Fail

MAKE YOUR LETTERS CHEERFUL

The Kansas boys who are making
history on the battlefields of France
as history was never made before are
going to get their mail from the home
folks and their pay checks from the
government with much more regular
ity than they have in the past. This
is the assurance brought from Wash
ington by Senator William H. Thomp-
son, who recently returned from the
war fronts, where he made a special
investigation of mail conditions and
salary problems for the secretary of
war.
AItho he does not feel at liberty to
give out the full details of the report
and recommendation he made to Sec
rotary Baker, the Kansas senator who
boasts a leo per cent loyalty record on
all war measures-and who, by the
way, is one of the only four members
of the senate who can make this
boast-discussed the Improvement of
conditions here today.
Upon my arrival in France, made

four injured. The others were safe.
The story of the disaster is told in
q report of Maj. John Van Schaick,
deputy commissioner in Belgium of the
American Red Cross, Of which the
Friends Ambulance is a unit, who
says:
"a worker whom we had placed
with the unit was sleeping in the room
with one of those who was killed. He
was not injured. He described his ex-
perience as follows:
ST was awake when the bomb fell.
don't remember much noise, only
the motion. The whole room seemed
to 1urch back toward where the bomb
fell, and then went down. We fell
fast and seemed to be falling thru all
eternity. My life was saved by my
bed shooting across the room. The
cupola of the adjoining building fell
where my bed stood.
''The adjutant of the unit was buried
under the debris for three hours. A
large oak chest held beam off his
neck. They had to tunnel thru the
debris to get him out. He was con-
scious part of the time, and directed
the rescuers in their work. He was
bruised but not seriously hurt"

immediate inquiry regarding mail con-
ditions," the senator said. 81 was in
formed by high army officers that the
early troubles in handling the soldier
mail were largely due to the incom-
potency of certain postoffice employees
who were sent over expressly for the
purpose of seeing that the boys got
their letters and papers from home.
However, I was informed that the
army already had taken action in the
matter; and that last July practically
all of the mail distribution had been
taken over for operation by the mill
tary authorities.
New System Soon.
Senator Thompson said that the
army officers expected to have the
new system running smoothly in
months time and that they hoped to
so perfect it that letter written from
any part of the United States would
reach a soldier any place in France
within a little more than three weeks
after being mailed.
AT first there seemed to be a great
deal of delay in the distribution of
mail from the central postoffice to
the various army regiments, and at one
place I learned that many sacks of
mail had been piled up and had not
been delivered until some time after
they arrived at port" he said, I'm
fact, one general told me that he him.
self did not receive mail written and
posted in April until July 30"
or course, there are unavoidable de-
lays and Interruptions. Thompson ex-
planned, and in some cases complaints
are made when they are hardly justi-
fable. II understand that $4,000
sacks of mail were sunk at one time,
he said, "and naturally no one could
be blarped for the failure to make de-
livery in this instance.
Visited the Eighty-Ninth.
''While I was visiting the Kansas
troops, I was at the headquarters of
the Eighty-nirth division at the time
mail was delivered to the boys from
Funston. I heard some complaints
about delays and took special pains
to make an investigation. I found
that no time had been lost in sending
the letters forward after they arrived
at port only one days time being re-
quired to transport them from the CEN
trail postoffice to the division head
quarters
The senator took special pains to
explain that many delays are caused
by the failure of those who write to
the soldiers to address their letters
properly 'It is very important that
the postoffice number be placed on
the envelope with the rest of the ad-
dress" he said. Many soldiers do not
seem to understand this. but it is very
essential in avoiding delays as each
army division has a postoffice num-
Der and this number always follows
the division. no matter where it goes.
81 tell you, getting mail from home
is a mighty important thing to the
boys over there" Thompson said. and
he urges all who have boys in the
march towards Berlin to write to them
often and to make their letters as
cheerful and full of good news as pos
sible.
AS to the pay of the soldiers. he said

New dinner gown of metallic jersey in
steel tones. The panel in back
forms a square train which is held
down with Russian squirrel. The
shaped band of this fur outlines the
medieval waist, and the neck is
high at back and low in front.
Today, either accepting the Ameri-
can opinion or striving for something
new, the French have sprinkled all
over the surface of jersey embroid-
cries of metal and have offered it as
fabric for formal usage. 1t makes
extremely good looking house gowns,
especially for those houses that will
register lower heat this winter than
since radiators were invented. We do
not fancy ourselves shivering to death
in transparent chiffon and tulle in a
drawing room at SIS degrees. 1t is for
this reason that we may return to the
earlier habits of dress and wear vel
vet, metallic cloths and lavish pieces
of fur when in the house.

DRESS
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

Metal Jersey Has Been Lifted to the
High Pedestal of Evening Clothes,
Where It Joins Hands With a Half
Dozen Other Metal Fabrics Which
Have Struck q Popular Note In
These Wartime Days.
New York.-If you were a clever
buyer, with good vision. you would
have snatched up those metallic Jersey
gowns that were selling at one-fourth
their original French price. You,
probably, like most other women,
passed them by with a shrug Of the
shoulder and something of a sneer for
a discarded French frock, thinking it
not worth even the low price asked
for it. That is where you made a
mistake.
Today the metallic jersey has been
swirled up into first place and it has
grown so ornate under the hands of
certain weavers that it is used, I'M
hesitatingly, as an ornamental dinner
gown. Chanel, Of Paris, the woman
who is more responsible for smart
and expensive sport clothes than any
weavers into making metallic jersey
or inspired their doing it and then ex-
plotted it.
The Jersey That Glittered.
France liked the fabric quite well.
but France could never make up its
mind to dress actually for sports, as
we do in America. She has to bring
coquetry to every bit of apparel, and
therefore, the glitter and CLEAN of bits
of metal turnout the fabric that we
made up into gowns at twelve dollars
apiece in this country, delighted her
eye.
Over here, we felt that the metal
was too gay for sitting on the bleach
ers or walking on the seashore, and
we preferred our Jersey plain, with
water, or mountains, on the side.

which it is held
Burleigh county's biggest need, Mr.

feed on hand notify his cfEce in order
that those who are less fortunate may
know where a supply is to ne had
