the battle OF Fort Donelson she saw the
wounded hauled to the steamers in the

hospitals nearer. There were men who
were left lying wounded for more than
"a hours, because, as one wounded boy
put it:
They couldn't stop to bother with US
they had to take the fort"
Upon her return to her own home Mrs.
Livermore not only went about obtain
ing funds from every one by personal
solicitation, but she announced thatsshe
intended to raise $4,000 for relief work.

of the commission in Chicago, Mrs.
Livermore proceeded. They hired IA Of
the largest halls in Chicago, and went
into debt to the tune of $4,000 Then the
men of the board of trade approached
them, assured them their project would
never succeed, and declared that II they
would but pay their debts the board Of
trade would advance the 81. 900, when. in
the Judgment Of that body. the sum was
needed.
Mrs. Livermore, however, had will
of her own. She went about the coun-
try visiting farmers, and asked them to
give grain and vegetables to the fair.
And on the opening day there was
long stream of farm wagons. They
focked from the whole countryside.
wagonloads filed with huge loads Of cab
bages, onions, potatoes ana other vege-
tables, and at first the newspapers in
derision called it potato procession"
Each wagon was draped in black and
bore some inscription. like I'VE buried a

cession wound its way throughout the
town 1t became more and more impress

Instead of $4,000, the women cleared

cities followed suit, Cincinnati raising

Diary Of a Fashion Model


ever 30 little, but Just enough to mako
good idea out Of a poor one.
Mrs. Jayne always used TO wear
heavily draped frocks, and in spite Of
her changed figure she still insisted on
draperies. OF course. there is fine art
about draptng. and In spite of the many
additional folds Of material it places ON
skirt 1t can still be managed so deftIv
that 1t abbreviates size when necessary.
This model Is cleveriy designed. 1t in
Of black charmeuse. The soft, rolling col
lar sets on excellently a well-rounded
neck. but the front formed by The
surplice gives the pointed effect which
reduces the appearance Of the size Of
the chest.
Only one side Of the waist is tiraped
from shoulder to waistline, but as fiat
folds are used and there Is surplice ef-
feet, there Is an illusion Of snaallnegs
given to the entire bodice. This is fur-
Their enhanced by the fact that the other
side Of the waist is undraped and fat
The plain skirt has pointed tunic Of
draped charmeuse, and the weighted cod
which finishes its diagonal edge weights
1t down so it clings trtf1e to the figure.
Mrs. Jayne looked her old self in this
frock, for it gave her figure length of
line, and yet the long. fat folds on bod
ice and tunic impaired the air of stift-
ness which she really needs now that
she has grown more plump.
The only change that had to be uaade
was in the sleeves, which seemed a little
TOGO informal for a person of her build.
Miss Wesley suggested a longer sleeve
with tight cuffs to further emphasize
the long, fat lines. and they proved to be
| lust the right touch.

S SUGGEST Ms
AND FOOD
HINTS

The war has brought resolutions
back into fashion, states the United
States food administration. Not the
old-sty1e kinds that were readily
made and readily broken, but a seri-
Gus resolve to help face a serious sit
uation. Every loyal American citi-
zen should make resolutions that he
will do, not his bit, but his full duty
toward whiting this war.
Every woman in the country should
resolve to save money to buy Liberty
bonds, to do more knitting and to
provide for the comfort of our soldiers
and above all, to watch over the food
supply in her own kitchen.
The year 1918 is bound to bring
still further privation to the women
of Europe They are already econo-
MIXING to the utmost in order to ward
off hunger from the old and sick and
to feed the little children.
Millions of housewives are now
members of the United States food
administration. They should resolve
with the new year to devote still more
time and thought to saving and sub
shutting so that our food supply may
not only cover our own needs. but may
be shared with the allies.
The present need is urgent and It
is going to be even more pressing in
each month to come. Therefore, let
every loyal American housewife as
she enters her kitchen each day
adopt the following resolutions:
'I solemnly resolve
ITO let no food of any kind go to
waste.
ITO set one day in every week and
one meal in every day when no wheat
| -four shall be used in any manner
shape or form.
ITO set one day in every week and
one meal in every day when no meat
shall be cooked or served.
ITO set one day in every week
when no pork is served or eaten.
ITO eat and serve fowl and poultry
as often as possible in place of other
meat.
To use butter only at table; to
cook with Oil or drippings, and to
waste no fat of any kind.
ITO use corn and fruit syrup, mo-
| lasses and sorghum syrups and honey
as often as possible instead of sugar,
ITO use all dairy products as eco
nomical1y as possible"
To make and keep these resolutions
will help win the war.

ETIQUETTE

AS rule a hostess makes the first
move when bedtime comes. The
guest, unless old and feeble, never
speaks of retiring unless the hostess
suggests it.
Miss Marguerite-Since your young
man friend calls on you at infrequent
intervals without preliminary notice,
it is your privilege to either be at
home to him or not, as your feelings
may dictate. Since you are not en-
gagged to him, it would be better not
to give him too much of your time.
To accept short notice invitations to
go riding is proper. When accom-
panying a young man to a party,
when games are played which require
partners to be chosen.

NATIONAL SHOE

A national shoe" has made its ap-
pearance in Paris and the women
have given it their approval. Eco
nomical but not too ugly is the way
it is described.
While the French women are not
opposed to wearing shoes of a uniform
pattern, the proposal that they wear
a national dress has raised a storm
of protest.
Don't ask u.s." pleads the Partisan
woman, who has been the fashion
model of the world, "to wear a ma
tional dress-a uniform would be the
censor's shears clipping the wings of
feminine taste. We French women,
before all others, realize the need for
economy and we bow smilingly before
the necessity for it. Limit the amount
of goods, but allow US the liberty of
individuality in designing our gowns.
