TWO WOMEN ON
TUSCANIA HELP
SAVE SOLDIERS
Did as Much as the Best Man in
the World Could Do is Gen
eral Comment -.
MAJOR GEN. WADE SAVED

London, Feb. 9.-The correspondent
Of the press association at an Irish
port says the survivors of the Tus-
CANA who are there were greatly re-
lieved to hear of the safe arrival else
where of Major Benjamin F. Wade, of
Washington, commander of contin-
gent on the steamer, and hundreds of
American troops. .,.v,.,' ~ BE-.
. The only two women on board, the
correspondents account says Mrs. Col
Inns and Mrs. Parsons, went down a
rope into lifeboat. The former said
that when their boat left the Tuscania
many of the troops had been thrown
out in lowering the next boat.
1--WE were Immediately surrounded
by men in the icy water wearing life
belts" she said. "We had only two men
in our boats who could manage the
oars. They did their best and as we
came across swimming or floating
man we gathered him into the boat.
Soon the boat was veEy full We wit
messed many distressing scenes. Event
ually we got on board destroyer. I
can't remember harder bit Of work"
A soldier who heard Mrs Collins, a
stewardess, tell the story said:
-s..-. Praise for Woman

best man in the world could have
done. was in your boat and saw
you" "a .ss".. ,f ~ U.s..
A young officer, answering ques.
ton as to what the soldiers did while
waiting for the destroyers after the
first excitement was over. said:
"Oh, we soon steadied down, loung-
ed about and smoked, but we did not
venture below to gather up our be-
longings for fear the ship would sud-
denly capsize. We talked about the
misfortune of crossing the Atlantic
only to be caught in the last lap. We
cheered the first destroyer which
came alongside and it's men cheered
US. Their work was magnificent, and
only when they saw they could save
no more lives did they leave the scene.
It was thought we'll to make for diff
ferent ports, and here I am among
people who have overwhelmed US
with Kindness"
Would Not Have Missed It.
A young trooper, when asked wat
he thought Of the experience, said he
would not have missed it for anything.
Il was on deck talking to my chum,"
he went on, when heard bang, and
up went a whole heap of wreckage
and water over our heads. I was
drenched to the skin. Nobody scream

stand shivering in the darkness, not
knowing when we would get another
shot that would send the boat to the

New York.-It is difficult to talk of
economy and conservation in respect
to a brand-new fashion that is hurled
at us .out of the blue. Yet the COM
5ination is not only possible but often
times satisfying.
What is called the new skirt was
advanced last December in America
by American designers, and it had
been exploited here for house gowns
six months before, so it is not new,
recites a fashion correspondent. 1t
might be called a purely American de-
sign, although the house that exploited
It for the evening is under the strong
est French influence. However, it was
an Independent action and mad moth
ing to do with inspiration from Paris.
The second American house that
started the long skirt for the street
acted in an Independent manner. This
skirt was not taken up, although it
was constantly worn by the woman
who designed it. We are rather slow
to catch on to new fashion, but when
we do like it we overdo it, Therefore
it is likely that the long skirt will be-
come an accepted thing, in mass, be-
fore Thanksgiving. This prophecy
may be wrong. It is no time to fore
cast anything in any quarter of life.
But the propaganda for the long skirt
is sinking deeply into the hearts of
women and spreading itself far over
the continent.
Mind you. these skirts are not ac-
cording to the lines that we have worn.
Sometimes they are straight, but often
they are slightly draped upward at the
back, and there is a growing tendency
to make a skirt, exceedingly narrow
and sweeping the instep, and then
draped tunic. which is a quick re-
minuer OF the pullback skirt of other
days.
So, you see, the designers are kind
to us after all. They provide a new
skirt and new silhouette, but they
do not compel you to buy new gown.
She who has money and little leisure
will purchase the new garment; she
will find it possible to arrange the new
idea through the combination of an
old frock draped into a tunic and a
new skirt narrowly cut at the hem.
Conservative women are delighted.
They abhOr the shout skirt, which.
through our usual extravaganza in
