Never has a nation undertaken such commitments IT flung itself more
thoroughly into its task.
The very fact that we have with us in this war the sons and grand
sons Of men who fought in the great struggle between the North and the
South is a source of encouragement and a precious consolation. It is
well that Engishmen and Americans should be brought together. They
should create a warm friendship, as their differences are only superficial.
It is worth at least something that the Ango-Saxon races, the lega-
tees of a precious civilization, should make an imperishable friendship.
If that is the result, then even the shipwreck OF this terrible war will not
have been entirely for nought.

American Efforts in Great War Are

We in this country realize the immense contribu-

allies and we are glad Americans are here now to see
the spirit of the British and the sacrifices they are pre-
pared to make.
Never has that spirit stood higher and never have
the British been more resolute to maintain the struggle,
even for twenty years, in order that democracy might
win and Germany be shattered.

Rice in the United States.

During the last two years the pro-
ductiOn of rice in this country has
been at its maximum, between 36,OOO,-
600 and 100000 bushels or, roughly,
one and one-fifth billion pounds. So far
as climate and soil are concerned, the
rice acreage in the United States
might be increased many fold, accord
ing to the United States department
of agriculture, since in the states of
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Cali
fornia, as well as in small areas in
Missouri, millions of acres r adopt
ed to the cultivation of this crop,
while less than one million acres To-
Gated within a comparatively few
states are now occupied by rice. One
of the quickest ways Of increasing the
crop, the federal specialists say, is
to expand the acreage in the areas
where rice is already probably
grown.

Embroidery Now the Thing.

That beaded trimming is rapidly Civ
ing way to embroidery seems to be
fashion tendency beyond dispute. 1t
is said that one reason why the metal
lie bead effect became so popular in
Paris and later in America a season or
so ago was because 1t was possible to
make use of metal filings and scrapings
from munitions works for much Of this
trimming. But for some reason very
little metal trimming is coming into
this country now and beads are scarce.
Embroidery is entirely within the
bounds of things available. Hence the
new dresses will show embroidery
rather than beads. 1t has been said
that there is an end to so-called
Oriental and ecclesiastical embroider-
les, that is, bright colors have been
overdone, and most of the smart
dresses showing embroidery will be
worked in threads of the same color or
in some simple one-tOne contrast.

RECREATION PROVIDED
FOR RED CROSS NURSES.

To give army and navy nurses a
comfortable place in which to spend
their hours off duty, the American
Red Cross will provide special
Nurses Recreation Houses at all large
base hospitals to cost about $350,000.
Contracts have been let for forty, sew
eraI of which are completed and some
more are under contract. The build
ing, similar in architecture to the
Corvalescent Houses for soldiers,
though smaller provides large and
comfortable longing room attractive
ly furnished and a dining room, kit
chen and laundry The large room
will be supplied with easy chairs
and couches, tables, writing desks,
piano or photograph and special Ii
brary. A complete equipment of
dishes. linen, sewing machines, and
utensils will be installed in the SER
vice end of the house so that the
nurses may prepare special dishes or
serve meals for themselves and their
friends or make or laundry garments
when necessary.
These houses were provided as soon
as it was learned that the nurses had
no attractive rest rooms and were
obliged either to stay in their bed
rooms or to sit in narrow corridor
like space set aside for them. In some
of the camps, the Red Cross not only
has provided these houses but has
secured cottages nearby in the noun
tains or at the sea shore, where
nurses especially in need of rest, can
60 for recuperative weekend. The
nurses keep house for themselves. At
hospitals inaccessible by trolley the
Camp Service people put Red Cross
cars at the disposal of nurses who
wish to get away for an hour or two
from scenes of sickness. The plans
are carried out with the approval of
the military authorities who report
that these ecreation measues play an
important part in keeping the nurses
happy and efficient.

The slip-over blouse and others that
have the appearance of slip-overs but
fasten on the shoulder, have been
steadily increasing in popularity and
their chances for becoming a feature
in fall styles are excellent. So far the
slip-overs have been developed in
georgette crepe almost to the exclu-
sion of other materials, but 1t is GER
tain that they will be made in more
substantial silks for fall. Some of
them have a short peplum and are
belted down with narrow belts of silk
or patent leather, but these are few

at the waistline.
For georgette slip-overs, small pat
terms in brilliant bead embroidery are
so effective that nothing has supplant-
ed them for decorative purposes.
Bright colors, as emerald green, blue,
gold and rose, are chosen for many of
the blouses with peplums. They hang
fairly straight and are belted in. Their
lines and beadwork are reminiscent of
American Indian art and they continue
to be at once simple and very dressy.
With blouse of this kind and silk
or satin skirt, one may dress up to the
requirements of almost any wartime
function.
The blouse shown in the picture is
one of those that has the appearance
of a slip-over, but open on one shout

so successful in saving sugar that we
have always raised few sugar beets.
Wash and scrub every particle of dirt
from the beet, cut in small pieces and
fill dishpan or very large kettle. Cover
with cold water, and boil until beets
are very soft. Strain into another pan
and cook syrup down until the desired
consistency is obtained, being careful to
skim all impurities from the syrup as it
boils. Add few drops Of mapleine to
give color and flavor of maple sugar.
Cool and bottle. This last fall we made
several gallons of syrup at practically
