The casual explanation of these
suits is that they are knitted from

for a certain type Of observer.
Brilliant NColors Used in Frocks
Another strange thing connected
with the appearance of these new
frocks, Is their exploitation in midi
summer. They arrived in May. were
shown in June, and are now quite the
fashion in July. The work is done
by machinery, and sometimes he de-
sign is in such L series of water waves
that the wearer looks uncommonly
like a camouflaged troop transport.
There are coats and skirts, there are
long TUNES and narrow skirts. and
there are one-piece frocks which are
used for events as gay as lunch par
of tricot, and this soft material pives
to them a formal appearance which
is entirely lacking in sport suits.
Mind you. this roughness does not

perature of 80 degrees.
Straw Hats Trimmed With Wool
There must be a great many miles
around the country, to judge from the
methods used by the designers to en-
ploy wool as a trimming.
Angora gloves are already the fash
ion: Angora bands, belts, cuffs and
collars are put on the smartest of CAB
ardine and serge suits; capes have
knitted collars edged with Angora. and
now the milliners are adjoining the
midsummer straw hats with the
queerest kind Of wool embroidery
1t is arranged to represent aigrettes
plastered on the surface of the straw.
These tendrils are fragile. curving,
waving In all directions, and covering
the surface Of the hat, going from the
crown to the brim without a break.
Black straw hats of huge propor-
tons have these waving streaks of
wooden threads in yellow, pale green.
anf = knitted sport suit are arranged
in unison, to make one harmonious
costume.
The sketch shows such an arrange
ment. The suit itself is of green
worsted, and the hem of the skirt as
well as the short tunic, is trimmed
with heavy worsted fringe This is
knitted in the water wave design, and
If the wool were scales, the effect of
a mermaid would be startling. The
tunic has no belt. 1t hangs straight
from. the shoulders to we'll below the
hips. The sleeves are long and tight.
and the deep. turnover collar and
cuffs are of white silk
Notice the trickery that brings the
end of the collar out of the common
place into something quite delightful

Conserve Wool in Every Way.
New York.-when the new knitted
costumes are shown, the first ques-
ton one wants to ask is how the wool
passed the censor. The government
limits us in every possible manner. to
the usage of woven wool material;
men are sacrificing even more han
women in this measure of safety: and
yet, right at the moment when con-
servation OF wool is at it's height. when
all the allied countries have agreed 20
hold fashions in other channels than
those dominated by wool, there ap-
pears the new sport suit and the tne-
piece frock which are mostly knitted
with bands of silk tricot as Access
sories.
France was responsible for these
suits America has adopted them.
They are to he found at shops that
continually ask us to praise their pa
triotism thru the written word.

GERMANS NOW ON DEFENSIVE
 FROM BRITISH
Indications Seen in Move ment of the German Forces on the Far
 Western Front.

WITH THE BRITISH, Aug. B. The Germans on opposite parts of the British front apparently are changing operations from an offen- sive to a defensive plan.
 They have made purely local re- tirements in the Albert sector, to the East bank of the Ancre river, and are shortening their lines.
 The indications of this change in his plan lead to the belief that. the enemy is placing himself in a posi- tion where he will be- able to defend himself for some time. He has made himself more comfortable by locating on drier ground.

WHAT HOME SERVICE
HAS DONE FOR Me-

My husband enlisted over year
ago. Shortly after he went away our
twelve-year-old boy had the measles.
After his recovery his school teacher
complained about his conduct. At
home he was nervous and irritable.
When called at the Red Cross to find
out how I could secure an increase in
allowance because of our newly born
babe 1 told them of my trouble with
Harry. On their advice took him to
an oculist, who said glasses were need
ed Immediately because of the weak
ened condition of the eyes following
measles. He no longer causes trouble
at home or at school.

ROMANCE GONE
Efficiency Kills Sentiment as
Machine Makes Socks
IN Is Minutes.
BY RUTH DUNBAR.

How snowy white your fingers look
against the scarlet WOOL" was the
favorite speech of grandfather when
he was paying suit to grandmother,
who, IL history is correct, never al
lowed little things like love and court
shin to distract her mind one minute
from her knitting.
The modern young man is robbed OF
any opportunity to make these pretty
speeches, for the wool is no longer
scarlet but khaki. Worse yet, the
maiden sits before cold, steel ma
chine and grinds off socks in as many
minutes as it takes hours to knit them.
This is what efficiency does to ro-
nance.
In the various Red Cross workrooms
of the New York County Chapter there
are nearly seventy-fve sock machines.
Eight of these are in the model work
room at 20 East Thirty-eighth street and
others that have been ordered are held
ND by traffic conditions. Here instruc-
tors teach the use of the machine to
Red Cross workers.
A complete pair Of socks can be
ma de on the machine in 20 minutes.
The machine looks like cross between
fishing tackle and pile driver. The
worker threads it through tbe arm and
ca rrier on to the threader. The body
of the machine is circle of needles
bent at the ends like crochet hooks.
Sweaters also are made on the SOCK
machine. the strips sewed together and
the rubbing at top and bottom knitted
on by hand.
pasides the machines in the Red
Cross workrooms there are many
owned by private individuals or groups
who work at home and donate the re-
suits to the Red Cross. In family
hotel, for instance, four or five women
can club together and buy a machine

shipments. He simply dumps them in
Evian, on the French-Swiss border.
If it were not for the American Red
Cross the task of caring for these
starved, ragged, sick, homeless, ter
roriZed men, women and children
would be more than the French govern
ment could handle. But our American
Red Cross is making heroic efforts to
defeat the Kaiser's aim to fill France
with consumptives. Trained Red Cross
workers are at the receiving station at
Evian. They first separate those
showing signs of tuberculosis from
those who are only starving or have
some other disease.
1t Is just like the tender care of
our Red Cross to give particular at
tention to the babies and children to
whom the kindly Kaiser has fed con-

Billy Jones
"a
By
WRIGHT A. PATTERSO

Billy Jones-maybe your son or the
son Of a neighbor-was In the front
line trenches in France when the Ger
man bombing party was driven back.
His enthusiasm to get the Boches car
ried him over the top Of the trench,
and at the edge Of No Mans Land q
Hun bullet got him.
A comrade maybe your boy-crawl-
ed out into No Mans Land and brought
Billy Jones back to the American
trenches.
Other comrades carried him back
through the maze Of trenches to q
dressing station, where his wound was
cared for.
A medical department ambulance
carried him on to the field hospital.
From there Billy Jones was taken to
the base hospital, and there q Red
Cross nurse-your Red Cross nurse
is tenderly, carefully, smilingly nursing
him back to health again so that he
may not have to pay the extreme sac
rifice that we-that you and and our
|neighbors-may enjoy the blessings Of
freedom
There are half a million Of these
boys Of ours in France today and
more going ''over there" every week.
They are there to wage the supreme
conflict of the world with the brutal
forces of autocracy that democracy,
our heritage, may not perish.
We want these boys of ours to come
back to us, and 1t is the Red Cross men
and women-our Red Cross men and
women-who will bring thousands of
them back who would not otherwise
come If our dollars will but keep them
there to minister to these boys Of ours.
They are but doing for US what we
cannot do for ourselves.

NURSES PRETTY
Red Cross Hospital Uniform,
Most Becoming in His
tory Of World.

In a recent news letter from the
front the war correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American helps to
explain the song, I'm in Love With a
Beautiful Nurse"
There are 50 Red Cross nurses at
this place." says the dispatch. "They
are cheerful, obedient, brave and COM
petent. And those who weren't pretty
to begin with became SO the moment
they donned the uniform that is the
most becoming in all the long history
of costumes devised for the mystifica-
ton and beguiling of men.
"In the officers ward was a colonel
with bronchitis. I've seen them in the
Philippines, and I've seen them in Chi
na,, he told me. L suppose I've seen
err yet saw one that wasn't pretty in
side of "a hours
"He reminded me of an Irish Tom
my, who, so his major told me, woke
up in a hospital in 1916 and, seeing the
nurses in the ward, exclaimed, May
the howly Virgin bless us, but the an
gels have come down to the Somme -
Hundreds of Red Cross nurses, how
ever, are doing work abroad in which
their looks are less eagerly considered.
Finding and caring for war orphaned
babies, fighting tuberculosis, re-estab-
fishing homes In shell wrecked villages
these are some of the big tasks of
mercy which. thanks to American con-
tributions, the Red Cross sets for its
nurses.
