THAT golf viii soon be introduced
in army posts and environments
is now practically assured. a year
ago the idea of golf links for soldiers
was quite generally laughed at but
the plan has been proved quite feas-
ible and the demand for links where
soldiers may play is steadily in
creasing.
While the FL Paso Country club
has at all times extended ali pos
sible eOurtesies TO army Officers
and placed the links at the dis
poSal of army officers, 1t is not
improbable that links at Fort
Bliss or public links for Ell PnsO
may result within the next few
months.
Ideal Conditions ut Bliss.
Capt. John r. Bender. athletic d.
rector OF the FL Paso military dis
trict. has reported to the commission
on training camp activities. Of the
war department that golf conditions
seem ideal at Fort Bliss In his re-
port Capt. Bender states that there
is an old links at the fort and an
other three miles from Bliss where
officers and enlisted men are accus-
toned to play. Capt. Bender states
that there would be no lack Of in
terest in golf At Fort Bliss II suffi-
cient material is provided, the coun-
try and climate here being ideal for
golf
Capt. Bender. in his report to
the commission, made a sugges-
ton unique and at the same time
said by golfers to he n very peril
nent one: He suggested that the
golf balls be painted red OF yell
low as the white soil in the Vi
cinity of FL FasO makes white
a.. balls hard to find.
Fisk FavorE Public
7 have always been highly in IA
vor OF golf for soldiers" stated A. A.
Fisk, district representative Of the
war camp links community service.
this morning The thing that would
hit the nail on the head for the big
gest drive would be public links for
the city OF FL Paso. While the FL
Paso ountry club has extended every
courtesy to soldiers in regard to the
use Of their links. I believe there IS
strong need OF public golf links

Any of the heavier weaves of cotton
will serve for these.
Patterns for dresses very like these
are to be had of any of the standard
pattern companies. Mothers select the
plainest one and make up quantities
of ginghams. for play dresses. The
Peter Pan dress is not for such hard
wear; it has more n~eedlework on it
and is not so easily Numbered. It may
survive several dinner times, or visits,
or trips to Sunday school before II
must be consigned TO the tub. And it
may be depended on to emerge as good
as new-as fresh and sweet as it
should be for so sweet a wearer.

SPRING DRESSES FOR LITTLE GIRLS.

spring dresses for little girls are
abundantly displayed just now and all
women appear to enjoy looking at
them. Surely she who has no interest
In any little one is missing something
that belongs to her; for these little
dresses bring a smile and a lingering
look to all eyes.
Cottons as fine and smooth as those
woven in French looms, and enticing
%cOlors, gay and soft, make the sections
of stores where the dresses are shown
as bright as spring gardens. These
fine cOttOns are the product of Ameri-
can looms and these lovely colors show
how great an advance has been made
In the manufacture of American dyes,
The dress at the left is so adequate
ly pictured that it hardly needs de-
scription. 1t is shown in several pat
terms of fine Bingham and is made with
pockets cut on the diagonal, narrow
bias banding and q collar of plain
chambray of the same color as the
dark bar in the Bingham. The little
dress at the right is of Peter Pan cot
ton, much like a smooth chambray but
softer. 1t is shown in light yellow, me-
dunn shade of blue and two or three
pink tones. There is a shocked panel
between plaits at the front and back
and collar and cuffs of white cotton,
with b~uttonholed scallops on the edges.
