Whatever accomplishments or sports
are to be cultivated in our girls, their
training for them should begin early.
Riding, swimming, tennis, walking,
climbing. music and languages
so much to the joy of life that every
girl is entitled TO a chance at some Of
them. While the girl is growing up is
the time for her first instruction and
for the really tedious practice which
a knowledge of music and languages
compels Timidity is easy TO overcome
in the young. It is especially sensible
to insist on having children taught to
swim and ride, and garls excel when
given a chance in these sports.
A glance at the habit of the smartly

closely the summertime habits worn
by her elders. The fad for puttees in

their use to the youngsters, and wash

The following account, taken from
the Red Cross Bulletin, makes plain
| the way in which the Red Cross of
America is helping the women and
children of France:
The American Red Cross has placed
at the disposal OF General Petain, COM
mander in chief of the French armies,
the sum of 5,65O,OOO francs Isl. $780,
O0O) for distribution among the sick
and ''reforme" French soldiers and
their needy families.
1t extends its aid to the repatriated
children coming in conveys from occu-
pied France and Belgium by way of
Evian-les-Bains. Four thousand chill
dren have been examined and nearly
1000 treated at the American Red
Cross hospital where also acute and
contagious cases are treated. More
than 10000 have received dispensary
treatment, and those in need of con-
valeScent care or those suffering from
tuberculosis are sent to the Red Cross
hospital near Lyon. The thousands Of
old folk, women and children without
homes, who leave Evian each week for
the various departments to which they
are designated, find there the repre-
sentatives of the American Red Cross
There are more than fifty distributed
in forty-fOur departments, who take
part in the work of rehabilitation, sup
plying furniture, clothing, fuel and
food.
In Paris, twenty-six houses for the
lodging of refugees have been turned
over to the bureau. These will take
care of 700 families, or 1850 indf-
viduals. The Red Cross furnishes the
necessary requisites and in certain
cases advances money to cover the ex-
penses of construction. a refuge of
the American Red Cross at Toul
houses 466 young children and their
mothers who have come out OF the
bOmbarded villages, while the means
furnished by the Red Cross have made
possible the opening of a maternity
hospital at Chalons in which 900 ba-
bies have been born since the begin
ming of the war.

A Clothes Mandate
Owing to the necessity for con-
serving materials and labor, and to
keep the ever-rising cost of garments
down 10 minimum, fashion authOri-
ties are not authorizing or recon-
mending radical changes for the au-

be straight and youthful; cOlOrs will

BIames for Women.

One of the speakers at the retail
tradesmen school at the Aston house
in New York predicted that mems
neckties would run to glaring cOlOrs
next season. Like all men, since the
days Of Adam, he laid the Odium upon
the women, so many of whom have
taken the places of men clerks. These
women, he says, are bound to show the
young man who come to buy the pink
and glaring blue creations" and they
of course, cannot dispute the opinion
that such colOrs are just their style,
and so having bought will have to
wear the gay neckties.

German War Clubs

Do they really use clubs in battle
Yes. they do. The Germans have a
vicious irOn-bOund club about 80 inches
long, in size a bit smaller than the

clubbing end there is a round iron
band with inch-lOng spikes protruding.
These spikes have sharp points. The
