In Chicago a three weeks drive for
used clothing, to be sent to the desti-
tute Belgians, has just been completed.
Mr.. Hoover, head of the Belgian relief
commission, engaged the help Of the
Red Cross organization in making this
drive and 1t was put through with the
gigor and thoroughness that Chicago
develops when its II WHIP spirit is
aroused. Twenty-Five carloads of cloth
Ing was the amount asked of this
branch of the drive and Mrs. Samuel
+. Chase was chosen, to take charge of
its collection as chairman of the COM
mittee who put the drive through.
:. Besides the fact that the committee
got what 1t went after, this drive is In
teresting because Of many incidents
which show where Americans of all
classes stand In this matter of caring
for the unfortunate and the destitute
In this war. The committee secured a
large downtown storeroom, which was
vacant, and made newspaper and other
announcements inviting contributors
to bring their bundles of used clothing
there. TIE bundles came by the auto
mobile load-where owners of cars con-
tributed them for collecting the cloth
ing-to the single package brought In
~ people on their way to work who
deposited their contributions and went
on to their tasks. Everything-from
fur coats and Paisley shawls to sun
bonnets of ancient vintage-came In re-
sponse to the call, but most Of the
clothing was practical and good.
On bright day man came in and
took OF a very good overcoat, reveal
ing q pair Of overalls beneath-and
handed over the coac remarking that
he could spare 1t. Another interesting
contributor was an old lady whose son
in the service had sent 81 to buy flow
ers for her for Easter. She contrib
uted these 81 to the Belgian relief as
the better way to use 1t. Men slipped
in and left contributions of money, re-
fusing to give their names.
To sort and pack all the clothing
required many workers. Some Of the
big department stores sent over help.

go-trimmed with silk braid and but
tons. The coat is longer in the front
and sides than at the back, being cut
with point in front and at each side
in Difference to present-day style. The
suit at the left has only one feature
that distinguishes it as distinctly Of
this season, and that is the manner in
which it is left open at the front
to the waistline! 1t is of beige gaber-
dine and has military suggestion in
its pockets with flap and belt fastened
with small buckle. 1t will be noticed
that collars on the new suits are usu-
ally high in the back and this one fol-
lows this rule. Below there Is a small
sketch of a jersey suit with real
waistcoat-which leads to- the confes-
sion that there is much camoufage In
this matter of waistcoats-they are
usually merely front and nothing more.

The Australian wheat crop for the
season Of 1918 Is estimated at 114,-
100000 bushels, compared with last
years yield Of 152, 2,565,0OO. The % per
cent decrease is a result of reduced
acreage and unfavorable conditions.

To Wash Ponqee.

Pongee may be made to look like
new, no matter how many times 1t is
washed, If 1t is washed properly. First
1t should be rubbed and squeezed gent
ly with the hands in suds made Of
luke-warm water and good white
soap. When quite clean, 1t should be
rinsed also in luke-warm water sew
eral times and the water squeezed out
gently, not wrung out. When perfectly
dry, instead of sprinkling 1t, rub or
squeeze the spongee gently with the
hands until 1t is well crumpled. This
removes any hard or deep wrinkles.
Iron then with very hot iron and
your pongee will look as fresh as new.

Women of leisure from smart hotels,
from homes, and business women from
offices and shops-volunteerin to
work after business hours-came in.
Fifty post Office employees, who had a
half holiday on election day, contrib
uted their brief leisure to the work.
Help came from many quarters-which
all goes to inspire faith in our coun-
try's power to do what 1t undertakes
to do In any direction.

children,s Gowns.

The fashion for dressing children in
velveteen has progressed apace,, and
few things lend themselves to little
peoples daytime clothes more happily.
The colors range through graduatiOns
Of pinks, reds, yellows, blues, green's
and violets. Velveteen is also adapted
to the hand embroidery which, in linn
tied quantity, is such feature Of
childrens frocks.

Watch Fob Of Military Braid.

Anyone who has worn the usual
grain ribbon in watch fob knows
how short lived 1t is, and at what In
convenient times new one must be in
serted. I use military braid for the
purpose, with excellent results, OBJ
served woman. 1t lasts about two
years, and it's coarse weave Is very
attractive. &

button at the left of the front. Snap
fasteners above and below the button
hold the belt in neat adjustment to
the figure. This girdle is the most
popular that has appeared this sea-
son. The skirt Is correct In length
and width for a walking skirt, which
should be In the neighborhoOd Of tive
yards wide to insure freedom in walk
ing, and reach an inch below the shoe
tops for good style.
In cutting a two-piecs plain skirt
from wide material there is enough
cut away to account for the girdle
and pockets as ample and original as
those that are shown on the model pic
tured Twice the depth Of the pocket
is needed for making 1t, one-half Of
this length cut into two straps that
fold upon the pocket and fasten down
with bone buttons like that on the CIR
die, but smaller. The straps and pock-
cts are lined with silk of the color
Of the crossbar In the material. In
this skirt deep tan ground Is crossed
with bars Of flag blue.
