ALL GARMENTS To
BE RETURNED BY
SATURDAY sure

To the hundreds Of Bridgeport wo-
men who are working on refugee gar
ments and knitted articles for the Red
Cross, Bridgeport chapter today sent
out an urgent call through Mrs. C. n.
Worthen, chairman of the Military
Relief committee.
Return the complete garments to
the Institute on or before this week
Saturday, is the message which all
Red Cross workers are asked to COM
ply with.
The reason is, that the refugee gar
ments and knitted articles must be in
the hands of the national Red Cross
before September 1 and it is going to
be impossible for Bridgeport to fill its
obligations in this respect unless all
articles are at the workrooms at Sea-
side Institute by Saturday.
In the case of the refugee garments,
buttonholes have to be cut on the
machine at the institute and the gar
ments have to be inspected, sorted and
packed. The knitted goods likewise
require time for inspection and pack
ing and this week marks about the
limit Of time in which these goods
can be handled in order to get them
into the proper channels on schedule
time.
Bridgeport's allotment of refugee
garments was 10000, of which 1000 to
5000 have been shipped. The allot-
ments of knitted goods includes 1900
pairs Of socks. 800 sweaters and 500
helmets. While the supply oy yarn
has run short, Mrs. Worthen states
that Bridgeport chapter has given out
enough to complete this order and the
finished articles should be turned in
by the various auxiliaries and private
workers by the oath, which allows
only bare week for getting them off
Bridgeport chapter has a record for
getting away its allotments on time,
which all workers are asked to help
maintain.

COUNTESS OF KOENIGSMARK.

Marie Aurore, Countess of Koenigs-
mark, was one of the numerous mis-
tresses of Augustus IL, king of Po-
land and elector Of SaXony. She was
born in 1878 and was descended from
one Of the Oldest families in Branden-
burg. Marie Aurore was woman of
great beauty and talents and of I'M
common political abilities. When
she was young woman she went to
Dresden, where she met Augustus,
who Immediately fell in love with her.
She rejected his overtures for some
time, but at last yielded, and became
the mother of the famous Marshal
Sake. When the love of Augustus de-
clined, the countess of Koenigsmark
conducted herself so discreetly that
he always renamed her friend. She
died in 1928, beloved by all around
her for her kindness and benefac-
tions to the poor and needy.

This particular suit is of navy blue
satin, and is suitable for afternoon
wear. The skirt is draped loosely
down the hips, and is fastened at the
side. It forms a sort of tunic eff
feet at one side and ends in grace
full point.
The coat is loose fitting, and is
trimmed with a military yoke and col
lar of moleskin. The bottom of the
coat also has deep edging of MOLE
skin. To carry out the same color
scheme the sleeves and a few inches
of the coat above the fur have trim
ming Of more color wool embroidery.
This combination of navy blue satin
and mole color, while sober and unos-
tentatious, would be a little too dull
except for any one who had so vivid
color of hair and complexion as to
depend on the costume for toning it
down. Most of our girls, not having
very high color, couldn't carry of
so soberly-hued a costume.
Here, therefore, is where the deep
Oriental colorfulness introduces a
touch Of wondrous bauty. 1t isn't
necessary to make the vivid color
conspicuous, but it may be modestly.
hidden SO that only folds of it a%e
shown occasionally, which serves the
purpose of relieving the dull back
ground.
The sleeves of this coat are lined,
with lovely old Persian crepe, as is
also the entire coat. Only a little of
this is visible, of course, such as
when the arm is waved a little or the
coat is blown back. 1t is, neverthe-
less, this tiny splash of vivid coloring
that transforms an otherwise sombre
costume into something smart and
youthful.
Another attractive feature of this
costume is it's deep double trimming
of moleskin and wool embroidery,
The coat depends for it's smartness of
line on its absolutely square, fat et-
feet. This, however, would be en-
tirely too fiat without so softly draped
skirt were it not for the introduction
of the soft, raised effect, which the
trimming of fur and heavy wool en-
broidery gives.
Another touch which relieves the
coat from too stiff line is the make
up of the sleeves. These are narrow
from shoulder to elbows and form
into a loose, falling cuff with pointed
ends.
