ANNA HELD
Partisan Coincidence Plays to a
Larue House Here

Anna Held, despite the fact that she
plainly showed the effects of her re-
cent illness, so severe TOR time that
! j. was anDounced that it would be
necessary for her to cancel her
I nor1nwes sern bookings, was very
much her charming self in "Follow
Me- farcial vehicle with FlOrabe
Ia type of plot, in which she appeared
at the Auditorium on New Years
night.
The big disappointment Of the eve
ning-and it was one which marred
the whole production for ma,y--was
the absence of an orchestra. The d.
rector-pianist and the drummer car
ried with the company did their best
to fill the void, but it was far from
satisfactory. Once more theatre-go-
ers are asking why the city of Bis
marck cannot support in connection
with the Auditorium house orches-
ira which can handle these simple mus
ical comedy scores. Some of the very
largest musical productions carry
adequate orchestras. A considerable
number, however, rely upon the loca:
house orchestras, carrying only d.
rector and, perhaps, a master OF ef-
fects. Ordinarily these house orches.
tras are equal to the occasion, and,
with few hours for rehearsal, get
through the, score very nicely. Thea
tre-goers in Bismarck feel that some
thing should be done to assure prop
er musical dressing for these, produc-
lions, which always fall flat in the
absence of an orchestra.

people. The large dining rooms Of the
Mckenzie and Grand Pacific were the
settings for two Of the most success,
full affairs ever held here to mark
the birth of the New Year. At both
hostelries the national colors were
used in the decorative schemes. AT
the stroke of IL the national anthem
was played while the dancers stood
in reverence. Fancy decorated bal
looms floated through the rooms as the
strains of the national anthem ceased,
giving the ball rooms the appearance
of government aviation camps, Fancy
headgears were worn by both the men

gaieties of the parties.
The cabaret dancing party at the
Mckenzie last evening following the

elaborate social activities of the New

Early in the war the music halls

and the fgurative Sister Susie may

But three years later with America

ands of devoted American women
asking what can do can say,
"Sew." Many thousands Of women
will be called on to work in factories
which do just that-"sew shirts for
soldiers" But many more thousands
will be called on to sew sheets and
pillows and banda5es, and make hos.
pital robes and pajamas. The Ameri-
can Red Cross chapters, city and
country, have an enormous JOB before
them.

THEY'RE EASY TO KNIT, SO CONE, DO YOUR BIT
f. HOW TO KNIT WRlsTLETs.

There are two ways of knitting
wristlets. ~.
One method makes a Pinch flat
strip of knitting, fold it together and
seWs up one seam, leaving inches
open space for the thumb, inches
from the edge.
The better way is to allow an open
space at the end so there will be no
trouble by getting them on up side
down. The other method uses three
needles making the round wristlets IN
one piece like tubing.
Here are directions for the frs:
method. Each requires one half yank
Of yarn. No. needles are used for
the flat wristlets and two pairs of
No. | needles for the wristlets made
like tube. Completed articles should
be sent If possible to the Red Cross
chapter nearest your home. II this
is not practical they should be sent
to the Red Cross Division, Supply De-
parLmelt in the nearest Of the follow
ing cities: Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia, Atlanta, New Orleans, st.
Louis, Cleveland, Chicago, Min2eapo'
lis. Denver, San Francisco, Seattle.
If you make your wristlets in
flat piece cast on IS stitches, knit
two and purl two for II inches, leav'
ing the two inch open space for
thumb inches from the edge at both
ends.
If you want to knit your wristlets
lie tube cast 50 stitches on three
needles $1,000. Knit purl for
inches. To make opening for thumb
knit purl , to end of third needle.
Turn. Knit and purl back to end OF
first needle, always slipping first
stitch. Turn. Continue knitting back
and forth for inches. From this
point continue as at first for inches
for the hand Bind off loosely and
button-hole thumb opening.
HOW TO KNIT SOCKS.
Soldiers socks get herd wear so
there is need Of constant replenish-
ing OF the supply.
1t is especially necessary that SOCKS
should be knit evenly and fine, or
good, soft wool and joining must be
done by splicing or by having two or
three inches at each end of yard 70
be darned carefully.
All knots, ridges and Jumps should
be avoided as they are sure to bis
ter the feet. Use heavy yarn and at
least No. 10 steel needles.
Set up GO stitches, 20 on each OF
three needles. Knit plain and z
purl for 35 rows, Both row knit four
plain stitches, knit together. Repea;
this until the row is completed. There
shon1d be now so stitches on the three
needles.
| Knit 80 rows plain until the leg
measures II inches" Take half the
number of stitches on first needle fol
tie heel, leaving 12 and 10 stitches
