Growth and Work of
Class Remarkable.

It's really remarliabI the way this

William Corcoran Hill. has grown and
the amount OF work that has been
accomplished. In spite OF manifold
duties, its members, recruited by in

their attendance at the weekly meet.
inRs. Many of them are experts with
the needle, and the fine and dainty
work they turn out would do credit
to French needlewomen. The class
is a branch Of the Washington Diet
Kitchen Association, Of which Miss
Mary Gwynn is president. and an
auxiliary OF the Red Cross.
It is through the Red Cross that
the lRyettes. beautifully packed and
sealed with the Red Cross and with
the diet Kitchens emblem, are sent TO
places IN France and Belgium where
the need IL greatest. incidentally the
Red Cross has asked for sample lay

Have HankeTinE To
Help Red Cross.
Ever since I read in Spending
the Red Cross Millions" about the
fairy god mother work our American
Red Cross is doing, in connection
with the French Croix Rouge. among
the women OF France and their babies,
especially the refugees, I've had a
hanllering to help a bit I've been
wanting. for instance, to go to
Evians-les-Bains. on Lake Geneva,
sometime a fashionable watering
place, which Is one OF the places the
French government has turned into
a refuge for the aged women, the
women half starved and I'll, the lit
tie children who have come out Of
the devastated regions OF France
and Flanders, who have been, many
of them, In the hands OF the Ger
mans.
I've been wanting to see with my
own eyes how they are nursed back
to health and strength and how hope
is brought again into their lives 1t
really reads like a fairy tale, the
story OF how the entire place was
transformed in seven weeks, a hos

made and equipment installed for TAX
inE care OF hundreds OF women and
children, for keeping them fed. cloth
ed and, most important, bathed. The
gospel OF cleanliness and fresh air Is
preached at Evians-and practiced.

But read the story yourself-it will
be worth your while. It was the
thought OF the wee babies, starting
life under a handicap. which appealed
most strongly to me; and therefor, I

Concerts In Capital

Washington has never had the repu'

during the last few years the scope
Of our musical opportunities has
broadened considerably. We're still
dependent for our grand opera upon
chance visits from the Metropolitan
and the Boston companies, but we
now have concerts galore-usually
two or three good ones q week-and

Do you know. for instance. why
there is q loop in the last row OF

ish naval officer2 II dates from the
time OF Nelson and was first used by
that great commander TO button his

have you seen a certain smart look
ing British army officer, who wears
a sort of black ribbon jabot pinned
to the collar Of his coat and hanging
down the middle OF his back? He
belongs to the Welsh Fusileers and
the black jabot' Is nothing less than
the queue ribbon which each MEM
Der OF this organization has worn
pinned TO his collar since the order
came back In colonial times to cut
OF the queues.
Two explanations are offered for
this curious custom The first is that
the officers of the regiment objected
TO sacrificing their queues, on much
the same ground that the Manchus
resented the sacrifice OF theirs, and
sported the ribbons by way OF a pro-
test The other, decidedly less po-
etlo, 10 that powder and pomade had
left an ugly spot on each officers

the navy insignia stumps me some
times. They have learned TO know the
