great many Red Cross rooms. In adj
dition to doing the familiar sewing
and knitting, the women of the cities
and towns go out into the country, 80
or 40 miles and establish new chap
tiers. The women from the scattered
farms meet either at a schoolhouse or
a private dwelling. They have two
or three sewing machines, which they
bring tied and strapped on their auto
mobiles or "springboard" buggies.
Besides a speaker, a singer often goes
to the first meeting. One young lady
having an appropriate but difficult
song wondered how she would get
along in the matter OF her accompani-
ment, but the hostess sat down at her
piano and, although the music was
new to her, played il with case. fhe

The knitting department will make
a shipment this week OF 800 pairs OF

hoped they will keep up their present
output.

August allotment which included 2000
AKA wipes, 800 p%aperback pads, and

Charming Victor Herbert

Wednesday Matinee

Charles Darnton, the efficient critic of

the cort theatre production of the Henry
Blossom-Yictor Herbert musical comedy,
which comes to the Jefferson theatre,
matinee and night, on next Wednesday.

and the various other earlier works of
Mr.. Herbert, yet the same masterful abil-
ity of this celebrated composer to give
TO the public a spirited score is ever in
evidence in this opera. Every number
and there are 20 of them. in this latest
Herbert musical comedy, have won
praise. 1t is said to be the sort of mu-
sic that tells a story and in several sit
uations in the opera, when every voice
is silent and only the orchestra is heard,
one can easily imagine the thought that
it is intended to convey
Mr.. Herbert's music literally carries
the story along with III and this is a
mastery over melody that few composers
have achieved. Mr.. Blossom fully real
ICES the gift Of his cola borator, and has
supplied book and lyrics that made
it possible for Mr. Herbert to indulge
his fullest imagination. The music in
its many variations is study in itself
and one can hear the play repeatedly
and never fail to discover something
new on each occasion.
