Christopher L. Ward, director of the
Compulsory Work Bureau, when seen
this morning regarding the report of his
resignation, said that his acceptance of
the position originally was based on n

just what the work would develop into,
nor how extensive its scope would be.
In submitting his report to the com
mittees early this month, at their re-
quest, he called their attention to the
date of September Is as marking the
expiration of this preliminary period, but
acknowledgment of the receipt of the
report came to hand only this morning,
and referred to another meeting to be
held very shortly, at which some action
might be taken, possibly asking him to
continue to serve.

When the garments are cut they go
to the assembling room, where t-ey
are sorted into bundles. One girl col
lects all the small pieces that go to-
make the sleeves, collars, cuffs and
pockets of pajamas. These are then
passed on to another girl, who adds
the front and back pieces. A third
girl adds the other parts and completes
the garment, which is then wrapped in
a bundle with two others. A similar
procedure is followed in assembling
other garments.
No Material Wasted.
Each bolt of goods is measured be-
fore cutting and an estimate made of
just exactly how many garments 1t
contains. For example, PIG layers Of
Jean contain IA dozen hospital shirts.
If the material lays 296 high, 1877 dozen
may be secured from n cutting.
From a ninety-foot strip of material
eight hospital bed shirts may be cut.
To find a piece of waste material larg-
er than a three-quarter inch triangle
is unusual. Even these scraps are not
wasted, for they are sold to rag deal
ers.

soon running down the track at full
speed. All the younger set are wear
ing these w~aistcoats, the shops show
them at different prices, and they make
an alluring grouping Of color in the
windows. They have started the fash
ion for a great variety of skeleton
waistcoats that are worn instead of
collars. Many are high-necked, others
have long, sloping, double-breasted
revers. They are less trouble to adj
just in a blouse or coat than a collar,
for they have their own fastening and

In displays of midsummer frocks
for little maids, three fine and trust
worthy materials appear to fill all the
requirements of designers. They are
voile, dotted swiss and organdie, and
they are dainty enough and at the
same time strong enough for the small
est girls dress-up frocks. Wolfe
has come to be a great fayorite on
account of its wonderful wearing
qualities, which make it worth while
to put careful needlework on 1t. Dot
ted swiss is liked because 1t is crisp
and fresh looking, and Organdie Is
chosen for the finest of all dresses
made for the youngest wearers of
sheer frocks.
: In the picture the little dress at the
left is of white wolfe with a shocked
yoke In which heavy blue embroidery
silk is used for the ornamental
stitches. 1t has a narrow panel set
on ut the front, making place for two
rows Of tiny round %crocheted buttons
and a narrow sash of the wolfe finished
with two of the same buttons sus-
pended on the silk thread from the
ends. The designer did not over
look opportunities for these little
dangling buttons at the~point of the
collar, or forget to introduce a band
of shocking and fancy stitching on
the cuffs. Altogether this little frock
is elaborated with considerable needle
work.
