shiny material is merely the back ground for staging a scarf and cuffs of dark emerald green wool cro- chet in an open block stitch.
 The scarf, which rolls a bit at the back like collar, becomes two stole like ends in front, that pass beneath a fascinating belt of green leather, studded with silver nail heads. The ends of the scarf are finished with fringe of the wool zephyr. Deep cuffs set a few inches above the whist hang straight across the arm and endi in fringe.
 A row of satin antique buttons runs from the nape of the neck to the heel of the shoe, in a delightful sweep of line. The pointed apron gives mad anne a chance for Georgette lining, though this time she chose the same shade of green. This apron buttons at the back with a large button, or it may be worn loose, when it will casr cade at the sides in the most charm ing overskirt,
 All the girls are crazy about this costume It is liked by the actresses and by the society women who take a brief respite from the war work, with which all our customers are con- stantly engaged. Some of them hard ly take time to choose their clothes. "Oh, you know what I want" they say, and off they go.
 Dear Miss Jean, who is so sweet to every one and so beautifully intelli- gent, is taking no small part in the war by dressing the women who are doing so much. They leave it to her to remember exactly the line and the color which suits them best.
 'I am going to write a treatise on l threats and how to take care of them take care of them with the proper collar finish,' laughed Miss Jean, The neck line is the all-importank part of a gown, remember that"
 The hat chosen for this gown ia black duvetyne---that lovely suedes like uvetyne---trimmed only with (
 band and a bow of black grosgraiR ribbon. The ribbon slides through a
 tiny silver buckle in the front, which answers the high light of the nail heads on the belt.

TODAY's ANNIVERSARY,

The question of the source of the Nile is at once one of the oldest and most recent of geography. The first European t6 lay claim to having dis covered the true source of the river was James Bruce. The Scotch ex- plorer believed that the middle one of the three branches, called the Blue Nile, was the true river, and on this date in TITO he reached the source of that stream, The ancierts believed that the westernmost branch, called the White Nile. was the true Nile, and Bruce assumed that he had upset this theory. The aneients were right, however, and Bruce was wrong. The greatest discovery in connection with the Nile, that it real ly rises in south latitude and crosses the equator, was made by Captains Grant and Spoke, who in 1858 dis covered Lake Victoria Nyanza. Capt. Spoke reached tie lake while jour neying westward from Zanzibar, but he immediately guessed that the great body of water was the head water of the Nile

HOME SERVICE
 SECTION REPORT

The work of the Home Service committee of the Bridgeport Red Cross increased each day and 1t is the opinion of those in charge of the Atlantic Division for the next year any way, this departments work will be abundant.
 Mrs. Richard Staples and Miss Sally Wilmot are taking a six weeks course in Home Service in New York, under the leadership of Dr. Thomas J. Riley of Brooklyn, and MT. Porter R. Lee of New York, national direc tors of the Home Service Institute. The course includes discussion of methods in Home Service work and gives the student an acquaintance with the fundamentals of normal fam ily life. In order that he may in telligently judge the needs of the families and administer the help of the Red Cross wisely and helpfully in the distribution of money alone, 1t is felt that only a person well trained for this work can do 1t successfully and i6 the giving of advice and 1n- formation, schooling and training are equally essential. It has been a fundamental principal of Home Ser vice that there must be no intrusion and no interference with the real wishes of families which ask help of the Red Cross,
 There are about fifty thousand Red Cross men and women engaged for Home Service work, They are scat tered in all parts of the country and in all sorts of communities. Many of them are in places where they have little opportunity to learn how such community problems as come to them may best be solved, It is to extend as completely as possible the system of information and instruc- ton that the educational problem is being put on. broader basis at head quarters.

ELIZABETH CADY STANTON.

To be womanly woman, an affec- tionate wife and mother, and yet to be denounced as everything brazen, bold and unworthy-such was the
 fate of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, one
 of the pioneer American suffragists, who was born in Johnstown, N. Y, 10S years ago. The first suffrage con- vention in history was held at her home in Seneca Falls, N. Y, in 1S48,
 For a quarter of a century she an- nually- addressed the United States Congress in advocacy of an amend
 ment to the constitution establishing the right of her sex to the ballot, Her
 husband, Henry. Brewster Stanton, was in full sympathy with the move ment so valiantly championed by his better half. He was a member of the editorial staff of the Rochester,
 Monroe Telegraph and later editor of the New York Sun.

Unheralded Heroes of theWar
How Sing Kee from New YOrks Chinatown Stuck to
 His Post Against Orders and Helped to Win the Day

lone of us" to his fellow -doughboys. But no one ever in his widest dream pictured Sing as a. hero.
 But nothing had lever happened in the humdrum life of the little orlen- tai to call into action the heroism or his heart The nearest approach 10 the whistle of an on-coming shell that he had ever heard was the song of a peanut roaster at the end of Manhat- tan bridge, and the popping of fire crackers on the Chinese New Years day was his only idea of a fury or bursting bombs
 Down in the death pit of the Vesle valley, where the American troops were pounded by shell fire, drenched with gas and sprayed by machine guns day and night during the period of the awful fighting in that section, Sing Kee was introduced to the real horrors of war.
 In the hot engagement near Bazo- ches, Sing was in charge of, the regt- mental message centre in Mont Notre Dame. The Germans began a violent shelling of the town and with so deadly effect that the troops were finally ordered to evacuate the place | and withdraw to the fields beyond. l The commanding officer instructed i Sing to go with the troops. But the instructions seemed to fail to pene- trate the mind of the boy from Chi natown; or, maybe, they were at vari- ance with his ideas of duty, for, in- stead of obeying them, he stuck to his post for several hours after the town had been deserted and continued 70 send back news of the fighting to brigade headquarters, sometimes by means of trained dogs.
 Finally the Germans began to rain gas shells on the place. Sing put on his gas mask and kept on with his work.
 Later, when the boche had been driven back and the American troops again entered the town. they found the little Chinaman where they had left him. And Sings only answer tc the question as to why he had stayed there against orders was;
 There was nobody to do it but me"

Within ten minutes after an appu- cation of Danderine you can not find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after a few weeks use, when you see new hair. fine and downy at 1rst-yes-but really new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 A little Danderine immediately dou- hies the beauty of your hair, No diff ference how dull. faded. brittle and scraggy. Just moisten 8 cloth with Dander1ne and carefully draw it through your hair, taking enc small strand at time. The effect is anaz- ing-your hair will be light fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incomparab1e lustre, softness and luxuriance.
 Get a small bottle of Knowlten's Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment-th9t's all-you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try little Danderine-AdY.

More vegetables are spoiled by cook ing than amy other food. To boil them furicus1y in a quantity of water is sure to spoil them as well as waste fuel. Water must be boiling svhen the vegetables are put in and just kept to the boiling point. Most vegetables are better cooked in just enough water to cover them, so that when they are done there is just water left to nlosten them.
 To Broil Steak-See that the fire is bright and cleari put the steak on the gridiron; turn often and allow time according to the thickness of steak; dust with salt and pepper and serve very hot.
 Drop a piece of soft bread into the hot fat. If the bread browns in 40 seconds the temperature is right for any caakad mixture.

PERFECT WOMANHOOD.

Perfect wemanhood depends on perfect health. Beauty and good disposition both vanish before pain and suffering. A great menace to a woman's happiness in life is the suf- fering that comes from some ftnc- tionaI derangement which soon de- velops headaches, backache, nervous ness and "the blues" For such suf- fering, women find help in that fla nous old root and herb remedy, Lydia E.
