RED CROSS WAR FUND DRIVE TO
 BE HELD IN MAY

The next War Fund drive of the Red Cross will be held during the week beginning May 10th.
 This announcement came today from G. M. Dahl, vice president of the Chase National Bank of New York, who is to be chairman of the War Fund drive in the Atlantic division, of which Connecticut is a part. The date, originally set for May 9th, has been postponed to the 20th because of possible con1iction with the next Iib- erty Loan campaign which will i'm mediately precede the Red Cross drive.
 The change brings the date of the War Fund drive approximately eleven months after the first War Fund drive, which was laiuncred on June IS, 1917.
 Tn that campaign, which was for $100, 900 900, in the nation, the actual sum realized, with interest, amounted to $1O5, ,099, ,257. Of this Bridgeport gave something over $35O, 900.
 Col. Isaac Ulman of New Haven will be the state chairman in the forthcoming drive but the Bridgeport chairman has not been announced NO definite quota for this city has yet been set but as the national drive k for the same figure as before, it is supposed that Bridgeport's share will be about that of last year. At the time of the first War Fund campaign the Red Cross in America had a membership of a little more than EnO 000 Today as a result Inf thS Christmas Membership drive, the American Red Cross has a member. ship of approximately 23,000, ,0o0-the greatest Red Cross organization in the world.

" HIS morning Julie came into the studio with a dance frock
 thrown over her arm. There was an anxious expression upon her face, so I hurried over to see what worried her.
 Do you think Miss Gardiner will like this frock?" she asked. Come with me and I'll slip it on"
 All the way to the little gray safOn, Julie kept talking.
 Madame went up to the workroom, before she went away, and explained made. but I do not think they have the skirt .draped, as she intended it to be-"
 "T'n reserve my opinion until I see the frock on you," replied. In fastening the frock on Julie I noticed that the pussywi1low' taffeta was lovely shade of orchid and of a quality that was soft yet stiff enough to be arranged successfully in bouf- fant draperies.
 | It fastened at the back, the girdle concealing the hooks so that it was impossible to tell where it was closed. When everything was properly ad- Justed, Julie walked away from me and slowly turned about several times so that I could get an idea of the lines.
 Well, what do you think of it9'' she asked.
 ''It's charming. The drapery is most unusual and spreads out grace fuly-almost like fan. It is perfect, to my way oe thinking. What was there about the frock that made you imagine Miss Gardiner wouldn't Gk,. it?" I questioned
 tsThe Wide-spreading drapery. Miss Gardiner isn't very tall, you know, and a skirt of this type is apt to make her appear even less tall. felt sure that Madame wouldn't want the drapery to poke out so far at the sides,'' was Ju1ie's answer.
 I looked at the skirt more closely. It did widen out to an almost ex- aggerated extent below the hips, but also saw that it was very narrow about the ankles which accentunated the long u1broken line of the centre back. The proportions of the frock were so perfect that Miss Gardiner would appear taller instead of shorter in it.
 After explaining this to Julie she agreed with me that the dance-frock was likely to be most becoming to the little debutante.
 The bodice was a girIish1y simple affair of taffeta and chiffon. The heavier material was softly arranged

 Meets Tuesday.

Very successful was the bridge and knitting party yesterday afternoon iE the rooms of the Bridgeport Art League. It was given in order to raise money to add to the Ann. Hathaway Cottage fund. The cot tage which the League has presented to Beardsley Park and which stands in very picturesque portion of the park, is well along toward completion but quite little money is required for the finishing out of number of small details. Yesterday over $50 was added to the tund.
 Miss Beatrice Marsh was in charge of the arrangements for the affair and there were IT tables filled with players. Sixteen took part in the knitting contest and much rivalry was displayed. Miss A. Westling won the first prize; Mrs. w. J. Carey, the second and the third went to Miss Burr. Mrs. Whitney, sister of Mrs P. L. Holzer, gave a handsome basket filed with fresh laid eggs and this was auctioned off and brought in over $5.

 Julie walked to the long mirror and studied the frock as if to convince herself, beyond question of doubt, that it would satisfy Madame's idea of what Madeline Gardiner should wear. After while, she turned about and faced me. The worried expres- sion had left her eyes.
 "You are right, Claire. This frock has beautiful lines and the color is perfect. Pm glad, for Miss Gardiner's sake, that it is so attractive" Then I unlocked the frock and Julie took it to be packed and deliv- cred.

salient From his position. II was
stated yesterday, the enemy has been
able to dominate approaches TO YpTes

British I'm that quarter extremely
precarious.
At the same time allied officers

withdrawal could be made as far
westward as POperInghe. seven miles
west OF Ypres. without entailing any
serious strategic loss 1t has been

severe fighting that It WAS mai",y
at the instance of the King OF Be-
GUM that the British, for senti-
mental reasons. made the supreme
effort they did after the first reverses
Of the war to regain Ypres.
Satisfaction was expressed that the
line southwest of Mount KENNEL ap-

SPRING SPORTS.

The coming Of the spring will be
LIBERATED first by marbles. Groups Jf
GOys. and sometimes groups of girls
also. will be found in sunny spots out
0f-doors playing this fascinating game
But it will last for only few weeks
it is distinctly a seasonal game.
Some persons are disturbed when
they see children playing for keeps, -
because they think this will develop a
gambling propensity. But playing for
keeps" is not the same as playing
with cards or dice or the like. This
game does not depend upon chance;
it depends upon skill almost entirely,
and We regard it as proper for any
one, young or old, to retain what he
gains by the exercise of his skill, nro-
vided that he plays according to the
rules of whatever game he plays. So
the boy who can shoot marbles more
skillfully than his rivals thinks he is
entitled to profit by his superior
Judgment and accuracy: and in this
respect he will not be doing anything
which will not be proper for him TO
do in principle later on. On the other
hand, IL ne were tossing pennies OF
dice for gain, or winning in any other
way that depended solely upon chance,
he would be developing the tendency
to trust to luck, and this would be a
serious injury TO his intellectual life
and his disposition. and School,
