To-day We Follow
The Army
France is doing the same thing to-day that
she did during the Drectoire, in taking her
fashions from the campaigns Of the army in
those antique lands.
The British march through Palestine has
brought back the Syrian turban and the float
ing wells and neck coverings of colored tulle
also draped skirts, low girdes and embroid-
cred transparent tunics
The French army in Salonca has been the
inspiration for Grecian drapery - short
sleeves, Grecian bodices and the corsetless
figure

French and American Designer
MAN who likes statistics has given out

A MAN who likes statistics has given out
~ a statement that more spools of
thread have been sold since America
went into war than ever before in it's history.
This is taken to indicate that there is an
important revival of home dressmaking 1t
is difficult to prove this condition of affairs,
but the spools of thread are good enough evil
dence that the women on this continent are
employing seamstresses to make new gowns
for them or to alter old ones. And they are
also doing their own sewing.
On the other hand, the shops insist that
the sale of ready-to-wear garments has been
immensely stimulated by the war. Women
who are giving their time to war relief work
are willing and anxious to get costumes with
the least possible expenditure of vitality to
themselves, and this can be achieved through
the ready to-wear departments.
Those who keep shops also claim that
women of small means are buying better ma
terials and paying more for their clothes than
they have ever done in the history of Ameri-
can commerce in apparel.
Those who think out the situation say that
this is due to the employment of thousands
of women in new ways. Instead of these
women purchasing cheap, tawdry things they
add ten or fifteen dollars to the price of cos
tune and buy a gown that gives steady SER
vice.

They have kept to the governments request
for the elimination Of wool as far as possible
and they have achieved costumes that are
eminently fitting and distinguished on the
American figure and for the personality of
the American woman. More power to them

JOHN w. EATON ON
 BOARD U. S. S. DELAWARE
Writes His Mother From Foreign Wa ters-Went Into Active Service In- stead of Reserves.

Mrs. Eda M Eaton of 18th street has just received a letter from her son, John w, who is on board the U. $. s. Delaware, now in foreign waters. MT. Eaton has not been heard from before since Thanksgiving when he said they were getting ready to sail somewhere. In the letter just receiv- ed Mir Eaton tells of sleeping out in the open on deck and having a good time.
 Christmas over there was enlivened with packages from America, contain ing various tokens of re2nembrances that were especially appreciated. Over there they get mail once a.month, and when it comes there is $ jolly time. The Red Cross in America remember ed all who were across at Christmas time. Mir. Eaton's letter was so care fully written, that although covering six closely written pages, but one cen sure appeared. On Dec. IS, a letter was received by Mrs. Baton from the Reserve headquarters at Newport, stating that John W. Eaton did not report for service upon notification after enlistment and courted the pos- siDle penalty by courtmartial
 The letter was turned over to a member of the local committee of the state council of defense. A statement of facts was forwarded to the com mander asking to have the error cor rected and after a second request was sent Mrs. Eaton received Saturday the following:
 Madam: This office wishes to inform you that a proper record of your sons enlistment in the regular navy has been located, the bureau of navigation has ordered that he stay in the reg ular navy and his discharge from the reserve force has therefore been is- sued. The above with the letter from her son is very gratifying to Mrs. Fla : ton.an clears up any run1or that John w. Eaton was a deserter. Some mis- take had been made in the records giving rise to the suspicion, but said mistake has now been corrected and the matter cleared m

 W. J. MULLIGAN. i General Beckley More Than Pleased.
 General T. H. Beckley when seen by Bulletin representative after the re- suit had been announced was in a particularly. pleasant frame of mind. ITO say that I am pleased with the results would be putting it mildly" said General Beckley. No comman- der of an army ever had more loyal soldiers than have had in this cam- paign. Every captain and every pri- vate performed the duty assigned to him with 8 fidelity that could not help but bring success. And there were many not of the regular army who en- listed for this campaign, both in Nor Wich and in the outlying districts whose services were most helpful. Without their assistance it would not have been the great success that it is. But" said General Beckley, the thing that impressed me most in this campaign was the splendid spirit of cooperation that we found, amongst the people in the district that was canvassed. Everywhere our solicitors were received with a cordiality that was most encouraging. an indication of the great interest that the Ameri- can people are taking in this war and work incident to it. Altogether. it has been great campaign, well conducted, splendidly supported and most satis- fact: ory in it's results. I am proud of our organization and the great work it is doing in this world conflict, but l am prouder still of the splendid sup port that we have had from every source in this campaign, the results of which mean so much for the phy sical comfort and moral welfare of our American soldier boys, both at home and in foreign lands"
 Contributions From Organizations
 Amongst the organizations whose contributions were received on the last day of the campaign were St. Anne s Attachment, Tierney Cadets $35, and Second Division. A. o. H. s25.
 During the exercises last evening Chairman Beckley announced that the first contribution received in the cam palgn was generous contribution, which came entirely unsolicited, when | he learned that the drive was to take place, from James L. Case, president of the Y. M. c. A. and last night MT Case duplicated his first contribution when he heard of the great success | that had been attained.
 Capt. John P. Lyston was awarded

When the report of the last one of the twenty odd captains had been pre- scented and a mental calculation of the results had been made it was evident to those who had participated in the Knights of Columbus intensive cam paign for war funds, during the past seven days that the great army of workers that had canvassed so dili- gently for the success of the under taking, from the opening hour on Monday January 14th to the closing hour last evening, had succeeded in putting it over'' in grand style. Not only had they reached the goal for which they started, $10,000, but with in his heaviest work, on the last day of the drive, determined to make the campaign a success, they went lover the top" and then some.
 When General T. H. Beckley rapped for attention and announced to the large gathering of the workers and the lady friends of the council who had assembled to hear the results that the total subscriptions of the cam paign amounted to $14,363.34 the ap- plause that greeted his announcement fairly shook the building.

LARGE SALE OF
 WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
Public Beginning to Realize Their
 Duty to the Government.

The sales of war savings certificates and thrift stamps by the letter carri- CTS, stations and in the schools on Monday indicates that the public is realize their duty to the government by lending to it a portion of their earnings, said Postmaster J. P. Mur- phy Monday evening. There are many who do not realize what these small sums amount to and the necessity of the loan of these sums to win the war, he continued.
 One 25 cent thrift card purchased weekly for 52 weeks, would mean SIS. These exchanged for three war savings certificates will net $15 in 1923. This plan followed by the thir- ty thousand people in Norwich would be the loaning to Uncle Sam of three hundred and ninety thousand dollars, and no one would say at the end of 1918 they had felt inconvenienced for by doing so. Make a start and pur- chase for the three weeks of this month just closed, if you have not all ready done So
