One particularly clever little favor
would be easy for any one to make. and
yet It was one OF the most attractive Of
all. 1t is lollypop-a plain. old

Absent Hearts

There are absent hearts more
lonely
Than this aching heart OF thine;
There are struggling souls more
storm tossed
Than this questioning soul OF
thine.
There are kindly people near thee,
Who crave a friendly smile;
Go. give thyself, and thus forget
Thine own small griefs awhile.

vet and squirrel. The large pockets
Of the fur
4 Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
ENOR many years we have looked upon
Il squirrel fur as the appropriate peltry
for trimming coats for small children
and for making fur sets for little girls.
But this year the grown-up women have
the first selection of squirrel, and il
there is anything left for the little folk
all well and good. However. according
to present indications, the share Of the
latter will be exceedingly small,
That squirrel should have been in the
discard for SO long seems rather
strange, where there are so many points
In its favor. Not the least of it's good
qualities Is it's beautiful color--a brown
ish gray that In almost universally be-
coming to all women. And this alone
should. 1t would seem, keep it continu-
ally In fashion.
At any rate We have 1t as extremely
fashionable fur for this season. 1t il
used for coats long and short for scarfs
and muffs. for trimming Of coats. suits
and dresses,
Squirrel is particularly beautiful when
used with velvet. And It Is this COM
bination that il illustrated today. Black
is the color of the velvet used for the
suit. The coat fits snugly across the
shoulders and chest. aided by the deep
darts either side of the front which are
cut in one with the sash, which crosses
and ties In the center back, hanging to
the lower edge Of the coat. which is I'm
ger-tip length.
Two large pockets. placed low at
either side, the large collar which but
tons with fur buttons and the deep
shaped cuffs are all Of the squirrel.

and the trimming 10 of gray feather

TN THE day following her mothers
i collapse of nerves, Ruth thought a
great deal about the sacrifice ex-
pected of the stay-at- t-homes. More than
ever clearly did she see now the sacri-
flee OF Marjorie Bowman when she gave
up her husband after terrific struggle !;
of Gail Leslie who in a smaller sense.
OF course, sacrificed Il big career: of
Helen Brander, who gave up Jim after
few days Of complete happiness as his
wife. 1t took courage. of course to face
danger. but oh. the courage ii took to
face ordinary life, the same life one had
been accustomed to live under normal
conditions, minus a loved one. a human
being who had helped TO give life its
real flavor. Ruth was young and total
ly inexperienced as far as life went.
She had never until the present been
forced to consider other people before
herself, and she was learning one after
another, the lessons that most people
take lifetime to understand.
Her real sacrifice had begun on the
day when Doctor Bradley had told her
the real condition Of her mothers heart.

The Beer of Borneo.

Beer as made by the natives of Sara
wax, in the northwestern region of
Borneo varies in its ingredients accord
ing to the different tribes who make
it, the most intoxicating being that
made by the Bisaiyahs of Limbang.
These people make their beer by boil
ing rice, adding yeast, crushed wild
chill and a large lump of wood ash.
This is all put into a jar till the jar
is two-thirds full, and covered over
with bamboo supports; water is poured
on till the jar is full, and the beer is
then ready for drinking. The drinking
is performed by pushing bamboo tubes
down to the bottom of the jar and then
sucking up the liquid. So that no one
shall have more than his fair proper
ton at a time, a system of floats is
arranged whereby the amount of drink
consumed by each man is registered.

WOMEN'S OVERSEE
HOSPITAL, U. S. A.,
NOW IN FRANCE
Supported by the Suffragists oil
the Nation and Stated
by Women.

The first "all women's hospital unit
to go to the front has arrived in
France. This is the Women's Oversee
Hospitals, u. s. A, backed by the Ma
tfonal American Woman Suffrage AS
ISOLATION.
1t is a matter of special elation
among suffragists that this first wom-
ems unit should have gone out from
the New York Infirmary for Women
and Children, the institution founded
by the great pioneer suffragist physi-
clan, DIR. Elizabeth Blackwell, in 1854
The unit was formally accepted by
the French government in August. It
could not be offered to the United
States government because women are
not eligible to the United States Med
ical Reserve Corps.
The director of the unit is DIR. Caro-
line Finley, who has been in France
since November. The units personnel
includes seven doctors, among whom
are gynecologists, general surgeons,
obstetricians, medical practitioners,
ologist, radiologist and dentist, all
women. 1t also includes women
nurses, aids, clerks, dietitians, a phar-
macist, mechanicians, chauffeurs and
plumber
In addition to Doctor Finley and the
plumber, the staff members already in
France are: DR.. Alice Gregory, who
has been acting director in Doctor
Finley's absence; DR.. Anna van Shol-
ly, DR.. Mary Lee Edward, DR.. Marco
r. Formal, DR.. Olga Povitzky and DR..
Laura Hunt.
1t is expected that another contin-
gent will sail some time In March
and that other hospitals stated by
women will go to the front in the
name of the National Suffrage Asso-
citation. Suffragists of Great Britain
are responsible for a chain Of IL hos
