Twenty Thousand Nurses Now
Enrolled in American
Red Cross.

OF the eighty odd thousand register
ed trained nurses In the United States
about 10000 have enrolled as Red
Cross nurses, volunteering their serv.
ices at the front, in cantOnments and
hospitals or In any other needed ca
pacities. This enrolment Is the nurs-
ing reserve Of the United States Army
Nurse Corps and the United States
Navy Nurse Corps, and from 1t will
also be drawn contingents for service
under other allied flags than our own.
The enrolment goes on at the rate of
1000 volunteers q month. On q basis
Of an army Of a million men over 3d.
600 nurses will be required for active
duty in the present year.
Up to the last of February over
1000 nurses had been actually detailed
to duty or were ready for immediate
mobilization. So 1t Is seen that there
are none too many, In view Of the re-

AT OUR HOUSE
Ewes Blue and ousehead Learn About the Red Cross
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS

And THEY'VE told them of the Red
Cross.
We had number of Red Crosses In
our windows, but they had not known.
We told them of the bandages and
supplies needed to allay suffering.
We told them of the noble women who
are giving their lives to the binding
up of hurts of the boys in khaki.
We told them Of the great need of
money with which to carry on the
work of mercy.
Then Eyes O'Blue In voice which
choked with pity for the distressed
spoke of her savings, and Touslehead
clapped her hands at the thought.
This morning I went to the bank
and withdrew their savings, $6S %. and
they are to be put to work-to a bet.

expect to wear cobbled shoes and
patched clothing, and If we ever hest

faces of Eyes O'Blue and Touslehead
as, with tears on their cheeks, they
smiled at the thought Of the help they
might be to the Red Cross.

We have talked 1t over at our house
Talked ii over as we have never talked
it over before. We did not want Eyes
O'Blue to know about 1t, nor did we
want to lay any part Of the worlds
heavy burden upon the heart Of Tousle-
head. We have taught them that the
world Is a good and beautiful place,
but last night, gathered beneath the
light In the humble little parlor at our
house, we talked 1t over between us.
Eyes O'Blue and Touslehead were told
that, while the world is good, 1T is not
all good that there are men who have
started out to enslave the world and
who In the furtherance of that ambi-
ton have done awful things.
Gradually as the tale was told they
drew nearer until we sat with our
arms about them. We told them OF
hands hacked from baby wrists, OF
death rained from the sky upon help
less little ones, Of murder rising from
the seas green deeps to feed upon
helpless mothers and babies.
And then we told them how these
splendid soldier boys we see every
day are going to the far front to fight
and, IL need be, die to keep this hor-
TOR from our land. We told them OF
burns and wounds and suffering.

Chamois Skin for Windows,

Two pieces of chamois skin and q
basin or pail Of warm water are the
best means for cleaning windows that
onH housekeeper knows of, so she says.
One chamois skin she wrings out of the
warm water and uses for washing the
windows. With the other she dries
them. She finds the chamOis skins far
superior to the ordinary rags and says
that, if they are kept clean, they will
last a long time. She uses the same
method and materials for cleaning mir
rors.

A pint Of water, or Of wheat, sugar.

New Clothes That Paris Sends.
Now, Of n thing be very certain:
that while the French do not entertain
the French poilu, they are most excit-
ed about the Anglo-Saxon idea.
The result is an thrush Of gowns to
this country during the last few weeks,
and these are sent over in order to
allure those who are dancing and din
ing the fighters. The gowns are ex-
pensive, but they will be speedily
copied by the inexpensive shops, and
so 'Arriet, who goes out to an enter.
tainment with AIRY, will have the
chance to buy for eight dollars and a
half a copy Of the French gown that
cost $500. That is the happiness
found in treading the sartorial path in
America.
It is good to get these advance
things from Paris. They %foreshadow
what is to be shown to American buy
ers.
If they are honest forerunners of
u early autumn costumery, then
Paris has not created a revolution in
the silhouette, as was persistently ru-
mored during the month of June. The
salient points Of these new clothes are
slenderness, shortness Of skirts, an at
tempt to revive the minaret of Paul
Poiret fame, an insistence upon sashes
arranged in army fashion, a repetition
Of beige, mustard and tan colorings,
and the introduction of broadcloth.
Floating panels, which have for six
months dotted the entire surface of
clothes in America, have been abol-
ished, If we Judge by these forerunners.

Medieval TUNES Still in Fashion.
There has been no disposition on the
part of the French designers to lift the
tunic out of its popular position in ap-

it's genuine Slavic style, but they use
it a. a model for much that is done in

Best Gowns Are
Still in v

New York.-It is impossible to avoid
bitter discussion on the question of en-
Pertaining VI soldiers and sailors. As
this struggle progresses, writes a fash.
Ion correspondent, it may be that the
entire social fabric will cease to rend
itself apart with personal and national
arguments for and against people, In
and out Of power, institutions for the
good of the cause, and the various
phases Of money expenditure that have
arisen in the last year.
Anyone who goes about in various
sectors Of society-and by that is
meant the grouping of people for all
purposes, not alone gayety-begins to
feel that the hate which is engendered
on the battlefield has its reflection in
the minds Of those who are not in the
struggle, except on the side-lines.
A Civil war veteran says that this
pitching Of women into the public
arena, with its alleged bad effect on
their tempers and temperaments, has
nothing to do with the situation; that
the Civil war engendered the same kind
Of personal animosities. Yet the Civil
WARMTH all its tragedy, hate, death
and sacrifice, which necessarily af-
fected the personal lives Of everyone
in America more than this war has
done-did not throw women together
in groups of thousands.
Is 1t odd, therefore, in this rather
malevolent turn which emotions have
taken during a year Of war, that the
question of entertaining soldiers
should be thrown into the arena of
argument?
Reason for Brilliant costumery.
Now we come to the question of
fashions. 1t is not possible to separate
clothes from this peculiar and en-
phatic situation which has arisen
through the conviction that the fight
ers must be entertained, going and
coming.
Whatever the government has asked
women to do in the way Of clothes
they have done gladly, but that does
not keep them from dressing we'll

other.
These gowns are far from expensive
in the mass. OF course, the individual
who has money continues to spend it
in going to her WI dressmaker and
paying well for excellent cloth, good
fitting and perfect finish; but the aver
age woman, eve though she, have
money, has begun to find out all kinds
of places where smart-looking clothes
may be bought for small prices. They
are also turning out a good deal of
work in their own sewing rooms, after
the fashion of 25 years ago.
BY the way, one Of the striking
phases Of this war is that women boast
Of the %cheapness of their clothes, and
regale each other with the method Of
making old clothes into new, and the
small shop where you can get some
thing that looks like France for SIG.
Many Of them have also quickly
adopted the governments 'inside-out"

All Of which Is exceedingly good for
