With the revival of formal evening
dress. fancy little accessories such as
jewelry, fans and other things which
have been banned as non~-essentials
during the war again come to the
front. The very latest fancy to be
approved by the women who follow
fashions dictates are little bags
made of ostrich feathers.
These bags are really beautiful and
are very useful as well as ornamental.
They come in every color imaginable
and are usually of some delicate
color to harn1onize with the evening
frock or Dat or else vivid shade
to set off a plain black or white gown.
They may be used to carry milady's
handkerchief, lip stick. powder puff,
a bit of change in case a tip is needed,
and some are quite large enough to
carry the opera. glasses.
The two bags pictured are made of
turquoise blue ostrich feathers. Blue
MORE to match is used for the lin
ings and handles and the frames are
of tortoise shell and ivory. Some
very pretty bags have white frames
and use feathers which are tinted on
the tips Of the fronds.

Sammy Muskrat Tells a Secret.

Soon the waters of Sparkling
Brook spread away back, and on all
sides: m they had made the Beauti-
full Mirror Pond. And Don flowers
began to grow at the bottom OF Mir
ror Pond, and, even vegetables were
seen growing very fast, away down
in the rich soil. under the shining wa
tiers. And it was, a fine sight to see
the Beaver family, on a moonlight
night. swimming under water, and all
Of them examining every flower and
plant on the bottom of the Pond. The
Beaver family hoped to keep it secret
that they had such fine flower beds
and gardens under water.
But the secret got out. Who do
you suppose told the secret? 1t was
that little scamp, Sammy Muskrat.
AS oon as Mirror Pond was made, he
found it out. and without being in
vited, he built a little house at the
other end of the Pond, and settled
down to live there, just as if he own
ed the Pond!
And the very next day he began to
poke his little brown nos into all the
affairs Of the Beaver family. He
swan under water, and peeked into
every corner of Mirror Pond. And
Sammy Muskrat swan around near
the bottom of the Pond, Until he
found the gardens an. lower-beds Of
the Beavers. And whom do you sup
pose he saw looking at the pretty
flowers. and smelling Of their sweet
doors? It was Tom Beaver, and he
called out, Sammy Muskrat, can you
keep a secret?" "Why Of course I
can keep a secret" answered Sammy,
you try me and see. What is your
secret?"
Now Sammy Muskrat, promise me
sure, and cross your heart with your
right hand" And Sammy Muskrat
made a criss-cross over his little
brown fur jacket with his right hand.
Then Tom Beaver hen told this Sc
cret: These are our Sunken Flower
Beds. and Vegetable Gardens, where
we raise our most delicious food.

Such plans, when developed, will, 1t
Is believed, provide both for world re-
lief and for home community service,
and thus constitute a channel for the
Red Cross workers and members of
those qualities Of sympathy and love
which u whole people have poured
out so unstintedly during this war.
For the completion of its war. work
and for the institution of its peace
program, the Red Cross is, fortunate
ly, in a healthy financial condition.
Abundant occasion for the use of
large funds of money and great guam
ties of garments and other supplies
will continue to arise, but it is be-
need for intensive campaigns for
funds. The work Of supplementing
governmental activities, which the
Red Gross will be called upon to do
in all parts Of the world, will be upon
a great scale. but it will call for hu-
man service rather than for large ex-
penditures.
What the American Red Cross
needs now is not so much contribu-
lions of money as the continued de-
votion and loyalty of its members.
This is peculiarly true at this moment
, of transition from war to peace. An
, NAL membership involves the nav
ment Of only one dollar. The money
thus received not only defray all the
administrative expenses Of the organi-
cation, but. leave a substantial bal

subscribed directly for relief, r de-
voted solely to that purpose.

LETTERS TO THE. EDITOR
Hospital as Memorial

To the Editor of the Telegraph;
/ wish to express a hearty endorse
ment of your recent editorial sug-
gesting a new hospital as a fitting
memorial to the ending of the war.
Harrisburg in common with other
patriotic cities must consider the
erection of some fitting memorial to
commemorate the victorious achieve
ments of American arms and the
supreme sacrifice of her soldier dead.
1t is an obligation and privilege to
erect such n memorial. What form
this memorial shall take is a ques-
ton about which must center much
thought, much deiiberation, much
vision.
Attractive as are arches and
bridges and columns and other arch
itectural constructions which appeal
only to the aesthetic side of the city,
cannot Victory Memorial satisfy
the aesthetic desire of our citizens
and at the same time add to their
willingness to help along in the
splendid work of reconstruction. Our
heroes who made the supreme sac
rifice on European battles grounds,
as we'll as those who will return with
shattered nerves and mutilated
bodies the remainder of their lives,
must have a permanent and fitting
memorial to their bravery and valor.
Could any structure be more suit
ably commemorative than a great,
modern hospital, equipped to reduce
suffering and extend the span of hu-
man life for it's citizens? 1t would
seem efficient, practical and feasible.
Harrisburg has entirely outgrown its
hospital facilities. Whether our
Victory Memorial takes the form of
great curative institution or not,
Harrisburg must have Il larger, up
to-the- minute, scientifically equipped
plant for treating the sick. This is
the most pressing problem before
our city. our hospital can justly
be proud of its record of more than
fifty years service, and its ability
to meet all emergencies in the past.
but The city has grown faster than
the hospital. with The increasing ap-
probation of the value of hospital
care i'm time of suffering. The
frightful epidemic of influenza
through which we have Just passed
and the demand for hospital beds
should impress all with the urgency
of this need.
1t is my hope that our citizens
will appreciate the emergency, ser
iously study, from all angles the best
location for a hospital. and then
unitedly erect and support an in
stitution that will be creditable to
the capital city of the great Key
stone state. and also be a Victory
Memorial building TO our splendid
men who left all behind them that
democracy might live. Harrisburg
has every reason to be proud of
what il, has accomplished in the last
few years. but she has not awakened
to her hospital necessities

murmured contidentially in u loud
tone to the world in general. "Oh,

tribution to the entertainment of the
now convulsed ward.

which the lights were popped out
and the highly satisfied "blesses"
settled down for the night.

With the President AWdY
New York Timesl

The announcement that the Presi-
dent would absent himself from the
country for an indefinite time for the
purpose of attending the Peace Con-
ference at Paris gave rise at first to
general astonishment, then TO the
spirit of inquiry, and lastly to al
most universal disapproval. 1t was
said, and denial was impossible, that
no positive law forbids the President
of the United States TO leave the
country. No positive law was neces-
sary, for it was the general assump-
ton that at least during a session of
Congress he would neessarily be at
his post Custom an Prescription
each in its own spHSFe, have the
force of law, and everybody saw at
once that prescription, running in
this case beyond legal memory, since
it dates from the organization of the
Government, would Abe violated by
the execution of the Presidents de-
sign.
There is an evident decomposition
that the President will be at the ma
tional capital during sessions of
Congress, at all times ready to per
form his constitutional duty. The
public welfare requires that laws
should be enacted. Congress can
not enact them without the Pres-
dent. Away from Washington dur
ing a session of Congress, the Presi-
dent is away from his post of duty.

A POPULAR MOVE

NITY. CoUNCILMEN and the
" Mayor are moving along both
proper and popular lines when they
take steps to locate a public comfort
station at or near the courthouse,
where it will be at once convenient
and unconspicious
The county commissioners, in con-
nection with officers of the Harris
burg Rotary Club, at one time gave
the contemplated location serious
thought. but the war came along and
spoiled their plans.
The councilmen and the commits
sioners realize the demand for n
place of this kind and are willing to
cooperate in its construction. They
are evidently of the belief, however,
that it would not be wise TO spend
large sum of money on the erection
of station of ornamental design in
q prominent place, and most people
will agree with them in that.

SWEEP OUT THE LITTER!
IN. A. Reviews War Weeklv.l

N. a. Reviews War Weekly1
One of the matters which should
engage early attention in the read
iustment to peace conditions is the
depopulatiOn of the innumerable
War Service Offices in Washington.
This is recommended not only on
economical but on sanitary grounds
as well. There is disgraceful over
crowding both in the offices them
selves and in Washington's lodging
houses. On the floor of the House
Of Representatives recently the case
was cited of twelve clerks all liV-
ing in one room and all, or most of
them, i'll of influenza. In the same
debate it was asserted that one Blu
reau had not even standing room,
let alone desk room, for its vast
armies of employees. In the recent
debate in the Senate over proposed
allotments of public lands to dis
charged soldiers and sailors, Mr..
Smoot said that in some of the re-
Gently created bureaus over 10000
people were employed.
Senator Smoot was well within the
mark. AS quoted in the War Week.
ly of November 16, Representative
Madden said, during the course of
House debate, that there were IA
reau alone, about 1000 having been
taken on within a few weeks. The
total number of these hordes of poll
tical appointees, heavy percentage
of them being sheer parasites. sal
aried idlers, has, to our knowledge,
never been made known. But OBJ
viously it would reach a stupendous
figure. Beyond doubt it would sur
pass in numbers the combined
Northern and Southern armies en-
gagged at Gettysburg. And the cost,
estimated in the mere terms of wan

something staggering had not the
war taught us to regard millions as
chicken feed" and only figures
running into billions as worthy of
serious consideration. 81
But the war is over. 1t is house
cleaning time in all the myriad De-
partments and Bureaus the war
brought into being. Every one of
these Loafers' Snug Harbors must be
depopulated. If politicians are
dreaming of making them perma-
nent they had best revise their rev.
cries. The spree is over. Sweep out

Mccormick as FIame-Thrower

[From the Phila. Sunday Dispatch, ]
The Seventeenth Congressional
district, Pennsylvania, was enliven-
ed this year by an old fashioned bat

cratic Chairman Vance Mccormick
set out to take the scalp of Con-
gressman BENZ. X. Focht. IT was
some scrimmage, while ii lasted. but
Congressman Ben Focht happens to
be a somewhat capable two-handed
lighting man and he met the enemy,
tisuratiVely speaking, with bells on"
at every stage of the milling.
When the final returns were all in
II was learned that Congressman
Ben, who had been singled out as
the object of special attention at the
hands of Chairman Mccormick and
his Harrisburg newspapers, was re-
elected by a majority five times as
great as that he received two years
ago. Not only that, but Congress-
man Ben carried every one of the
eight counties that comprise his dis
trict, including two thaI are nor
mally Democratic.
Up Lewisburg way they know Ben
Focht too -long and too well to be
misled by any of the familiar de-
vices of political campaigning, and
they are tlife too close to Harris
burg not to be able to size up Vancie
and his mustard-gas.
Besides, 1918 happens to be what
is known as a Republican year. and
the outlook is good that 1919 is go
ing to be another and 1920 the Gull
minating point of a consecutive
series.
