MY SOLDIER.

Now 1 lay me down to sleep,
1 pray the Lord my soul to Keep
God bless my brother gone to war
Across the seas, in France SO far.
Oh, may his fight for Liberty
Save millions more than little me
From cruel fates Of ruthless blast. =,
And bring him safely home at last.
The idea in the paraphrase OF the
familiar prayer was suggested Dy the
bedside plea of little girl whose
brother is fighting in France. 1t was
given utterance about the time news
of the death of the first Kentucky
soldier was published. After~the
little one had fallen asleep her moth
er composed the lines above, ana ~
would be a beautiful thing If all the
little brothers and sisters or the
Kentuckians ACROSS the seas, In
France" were taught to pray: GOO
bless my brother gone to war.
Buy War Savings Stamps and heiL
Save millions more than little me.

SYSTEM IN WATERING PLANTS
System Of Continuous Moisteninc
Found to Be Better Than prench.
Ing OF Soil at Stated Intervals.

Plants should not be watered at any
old time and In any old way. They
may thrive In spite Of your method Of
watering them, but why not care for
your plants in the most approved wayi
Lucien Daniel. French botanist, has
discovered that young hothouse plants
and slips Of vegetables, as well as
flowers, thrive far better by a system
Of continuous watering than by drench.
Ing the soil at stated periods.
The new method depends upon the
law Of capillary attractions. Near each
plant is placed jar containing water,
into which is dipped one end Of a strip
Of linen or cotton, whose other end
lies near the plant. With this uninter.
rupted supply Of water, drop by drop.
the plants thrlved, greatly outdistanc-
Ing other plants, which were submit
ted to an intermittent drenching.

SATIN and velvet.
Rich Materials Plentiful Despite
Threatened Shortage.
Only Thing That Seems to He Scarce
In Paris, Says Correspondent, is
Really Hard Wearing Cloth.

7 We are threatened with a deficiency
Of dress material for the coming year.
but In the meantime the shops are well
supplied with everything but really
hard-wearing cloth. writes Paris cor
respondent Of the London Times. All
such things as satins, silks and velvets
are to be seen In abundance with many
variations on one theme.
Perhaps the most popular material
is stamped velvet Of various kinds, for
coats. evening cloaks. trimming In
stead Of fur, and even for dresses.
waistcoats and hats. Satin still Is the
most popular material for afternoon
dresses; 1t Is generally black. Often.
now, bold embroidery design In ivory
wool or silk trims satin tunlc and
gives 1t lighter note and a richer
touch. Indeed, embroidery Of all kinds
promises to come back into fashion.
That those who are employed to work
on 1t might do more useful work Is
an argument that dressmakers do not
see; dressmaking In France, they
maintain, must be allowed to flourish,
not rs a luxury, but as national In.
dustry.
Boots are less high In the leg than
they were and not many are made al.
together Of leather. The cloth-topped
boot Is the one most worn, and the all.
suede Is among the most fragile. The
buckle shoe is worn again at home,
and the very high heel Is more often
seen at home than In the streets,
where 1t is unbecoming and dangerous
The national boot, wherever 1t has
been found, Is said to be satisfactory.
Millinery Is becoming. Black satin
hats with no trimming are worn with
neat wells. Brown panne hats and
gray panne or satin are good. The
small toque grows In favor; the high.
heavy crown Is dying out. The big
picture hat Is still In fashion. but, as
q rule, smaller hat Is more practical
as well as more attractive.
Everyone uses small bag, In silk
or beads or stamped velvet, with
mount Of tortoise shell or silver, or
else bag Of shiny leather on a short
strap. This last is more of a purse
than bag and 1t can. be slipped into
the small muff or carried In the hand.
The long bag which hangs on the arm
is pretty, but not practical.

Th6 Beautiful Redfern Suit.

skin "cloute" with steel. Very novel
was the manner In which the coat was
cut up at either side to allow the belt
to pass through.
In this model, as In many other re-
cent creations, the celnture does not
show at all at the back. where the
coat molds the figure. The skirt was
rather short and tight, but there was
nothing exaggerated In the outline. A
very attractive notion connected with
this suit was the picturesque stock tie
Of black and white foulard.
These stock ties are immensely pop
ular this winter and they are made Of
many different materials; silk, foulard.
wool, spotted crepe. etc. They give
an effective finishing touch to a simple
blouse, and when made Of knitted wool
they keep the throat quite warm with
out the addition Of fur tie. The coat
shown In the sketch could be fastened
right up to the neck If desired.

Knitting Skirts DIsplace Bags.

Knitting skirts are robbing the
ubiquitous knitting bags Of some Of
their favor, for with a knitting skirt
no one need have need Of the bag.
These skirts are simple, shirred skirts
with large pockets on the hips, quite
ample enough to carry yarn. knitting
needles and the numerous other acces-
sories that usually go In the knitting
bag. The broad crush girdle that fas-
tens at one side relieves the skirt Of
