Geergette crepe and satin have rivaled one another in afternoon gowns during the present summer, with georgette the choice little more often than satin. But with summer on the wane. the indications are that satin will outstrip georgette and hold first place in fashions favor. A lovely gown is shown in the picture, in which these two beautiful materials have joined forces to make q dress of wonderful distinction in which beige eolored georgette and black satin are frightened with q beaded passe- menterie. IL Is one of the new evo- lutions that have come along in the train of slip-over garments.
 There are several features in this new model that will commend 1t to the woman who has present need of new afternoon gown. We have come To the place where it goes without say ing that an afternoon gown will do double duty as long as it survives the demands made upon it for both after noon and evening; for 1t must take the place of evening gowns. To begin with  the most essential of all things, this particular model has beautiful lines. 1t is cut in an original manner with q narrow yoke and upper portion of the sleeves in one. The body of the gown hangs in straight lines from the yoke, to which 1t is attached with hem stitching. The lower part of the long flaring sleeve Is joined 10 the up per portion in the same way
 The lower part of the gown shows two wide bands of black satin, one of them set on to an undersltp of silk and the other to the georgette of the frock. Where these are joined two mar row bands of beaded trimming, in black and beige, make very rich and effective finish The sleeves are banded with this trimming at the hand The undersllp k of beige col ored fouard, with black scroll de sign in f. but plain foulard or taffeta Is as good q choice for gown that is to do duty for evening wear The narrow sash is of black satin and loops over at the back, weighted at

DON'T SELL YOUR BOND
By HAROLD A. LAMB
of the VieiIantes.

Your Liberty bond-whether it is for $50 or S5.000-is your savings. To sell it is to lose your savings. The longer you keep your bond, the more valuable il is going to be.
 It does no good to Uncle Sam to subscribe to his loan, and then sell the amount of your subscription Many of us have strained ourselves to buy the bonds, and necessity may force some of us to get the money back. But the way to do this is not to sell bond Dishonest sharpers will take your bonds and give you, say. $50 for the S100
 If you must have money. go to re- liable bank or broker. They will lend you 500 on the S100, and the interest on your bond will nearly pay the in terest on the money they lend you. Then by paying the loan, you can have the bond back.
 Uncle Sans securities are making money for you while you hold them. Two years after the war ends they will be worth-it is estimated-S110. If the war ends in three years or un- der you will then be receiving 6A per cent-on the safest investment in the world

dinner when meat and meat sauces are used, is one worthy of our ob- servation, for fats are much needed for our armies and as necessary as meat. Here is good dish to con serve both wheat and meat:
 Cornmea Cheese Dsh.-Put two eupfuls of water and half teaspoon full of salt over the fire; when boil ing hot add cupful of cornmeal mixed with cupful of cold water. adding the moistened meal gradually. stirring constantly, keeping the mix ture at the boiling point. When all the meal has been added, set the boil CT over boiling water and cook for an hour longer. stirring occasionally. Just before serving, stir in q cupful of grated cheese. Serve sprinkled with grated cheese. Onions on toast will conveniently piece out light dinner, or serve as q vegetable on fish day. Pare, chop and cook in butter one Spanish onion, add pepper, salt. and q teaspoonful of sugar, cover and cook until tender. Spread on slices of buttered toast, flatten a tablespoon full of mashed potato on top of each. dust with grated cheese and set in the oven long enough to melt the cheese.
 Onions in Ramekins.-Peel and boil quart of onions, drain and break them up. Add pepper. salt, little sugar and q small lump of sweet fat of any kind, add half cupful of grated cheese and cupful of smooth tomato sauce. Line well buttered rameKins with mashed potato, fill the center with the onion mixture, dust the top with huttered crumbs and bake until brow.
 The dish is most satisfying with white sauce instead of tomato, using the cheese just in the same manner
 Banana Balls.-tse q French potato scoop and cut balls from firm but ripe bananas. Let them marinate in French dresSing. then roll in chopped nuts or serve Flain. Tho leftover bits of banana may be used in countless ways; put through u sieve and added 10 other fruit juices. or creamed. then frozen, it makes delicious ice cream.

From the Red Cross Bulletin. issued at Washington, D. C. July <, the fol- lowing article appears about the motor corps service:
 More than six thousand women now are included in the personnel of the Red Cross motor corps service. As a result of il conference recently held in Washington at the call of the direc- tor of the bureau of motor corps serv- ice. the motor service in six of the principal cities of the country which previously had been independent in Its organization. was amalsamated with the Red Cross corps This makes the Red Cross motor corps service a thoroughly co-ordinated institution, able to meet the local and inter-local demands for transportation through out the length and breadth of the land on nationalized basis
 The organizations which have be come parts af the Red Cross motor corps service are the motor messenger service of Philadelphia, the National Service league motor corps ef Atlanta, the National Service league motor corps of New York city and Buffalo, the emergency motor corps of New Orleans, and the emergency drivers of Chicago. All these organizations were represented at the conference by their commanding officers. who now become commanders of the Red Cross motor corps service in their respective cities The four independent services

 When pouring anything very hot wet cloth. Kerosene is great saver of securing soap and labor. Use q cloth dampened with kerosene to wipe out the boiler after using. It will keep the sink free from grease with little rubbing
 It Is seasonable Just now to bear in mind that fruit picked after a heavy rain loses its flavor and is not good for making jelly.
 Fruit for jelly making should not be too ripe, as the pectin is found in larger amount in unripe fruit; this k the thickening quality which gives to jelly its consistency.
 Currants and raspberries in equal quantities make delicious jelly. Jelly to be clear should drip through jelly bag and never he squeezed.
 The uncooked stems of mushrooms shredded and mixed with blanched and shredded almonds served on lettuce with French dressing, makes a most dainty salad Little bits of leftover salmon mixed with eoeoanut, fresh. or, if dried. the sugar washed out of it. with a chopped pickle or two, makes another not common salad.
 Lettuce that has become too old for fresh use may be cooked and served as greens, making another vegetable dish and palatable one too.
 Any of the cooked lettuce left over may be served with hard-cooked egg as a salad with spoonful of boiled dressing.
 Save the meat and gather mush- rooms now up to frost time. The large variety of edible ones will offer d change of flavor. yet if one is fond of them, they can be served in some way for each day. Do not risk pick ing mushrooms unless ycu are sure of the variety.

BRAVAD0 AND THE WAR
By ROBERT GRANT of the ViQilantes.

Recently during an intermission at the movies a performer came out and sang with guSto song, which pleased the audience about "Pershing Crossing the Rhine" Every few days one reads headlines in the newspapers proclaim ing that nine Americans have repulSed or vanquished 33 Germans. This is baleful talk. Our delay in the produc- tion of ships and airplanes and guns may have been unavoidable, seeing that some people are thanking God that the United States entered the war unprepared, but we should at least re- frain from bravado. stop boasting of what We are going to do and recognize the gravity of our undertaking. heard an American officer high in com mand say not long ago, If our troops ever reach Berlin, when they come to q certain building-the quarters of the German military staff. let them lift their hats" He spoke from the point of view of military prowess.
 It is meet for Americans to bear in mind that all other wars which they or any other people have fought were ehild's play compared with this the most terrible and relentless contest in history, and that their part in it has only just begun. Let us cease to hug the delusfon that our troops are lover there" to show the others how to fight and that all will soon be over but the shouting. Let us open our minds to the grim truth that this war which we have pledged ourselves to win is like ly to be q supreme test of American energy, endurance and self-saerifice and to cost thousands of American lives. We are all of the belief that no man is braver than an American, but it is indispensable that we appreciate the quality of the foe against whom we are pitted; that he is the arch -fiend of military competency and power, the ruthless unwearying embodiment of masterly force and resistance, mon- ster of resourcefulness such as the world has never seen.
 The prophecy that Pershing will cross the Rhine had better be post poned until he arrives in sight of it, and the confidence that two of Uncle Sans soldiers can handle three of the enemy be put in cold storage until q later stage of the conflict.

 Chopped young tender well-cooked beets. mixed with mayonnaise dress ing that has been tinted light pink, makes a beautiful salad, and is as good as it looks. Asparagus and string beans make most satisfying combi- nation, served with French dressing.
 Thinly sliced crisp red radishes used as garnish, unless some other color is used, makes a pretty salad out of simple foods. Too many colors should never be used in any dish, our artists tell us. and surely we would not mix eolors, even in a salad, which were not agreeable to each other
 spoonful of several leftover dishes will often make a most tasty salad. The things at hand and the genius of the cook will often produce pleas ing surprises.

From Center of Ball.

There is q best way of winding wool for knitting and that is the way that causes the wool to unwind from the center. To do this roll piece of stiff paper two and half Inches long by two inches wide into tube Meas ure off about eight inches of wool at the end and begin winding the rest about the tube. When enough has been wound to hold the tube securely tuck the eight-inch loose end complete ly Into one end of the tube. Do not cover this end in further winding, but the other end may be covered. It Is best to wind six or eight times in one direction before turning to wind in another direction. When the skein is completely wound tuck the last end well into the ball. Pull out the tube. bringing with it the long loose end for knitting If many balls are wound at once or if ball is not to be used im- medlately 1t Is good idea to allow the tube to remain in the ball tn ready for use.

THEY SHALL NOT PASS
By ALISON BROWN of the Viqilantes,

They shall not pass, While Britains sons draw breath, While strength is theirs to strike with
 shining sword. They shall not pass, Except they pass to Death,- For British fighting men have pledged
 their word. They shall not pass For France knows DO defeat. Nor hesttates to nobly pay the price, They shall not pass, Till brave hearts cease to beat,
 And none shall stand to fall in sacri-
 fee. They shall not pass America will stand As long as lips can answer her. "I
 come.' They shall not pass, To strike the loved land. That Freedoms children rise to call
 their home.

MOTHER OF MEN
By ALICE WARD BAILEY

Of the Nigllantes. Mother of men, do not mourn, They have said that your boys must go And your empty arms And your souls alarms
 Are now all that life can show But look at the flag so proudly borne! Mother of men, do not mourn. Mother of men, do not mourn, They are taking your mirth and joy; But gladness comes With the roll of the drums
 To the heart of each marching boy, While Right and Honor aloft are bornei Mother of men, do not mourn. Mother of men, do not mourn, They have broken your heart, you say And the radiant gleams Of our happy dreams
 Have all been driven astray- But for Heaven and Earth your cross i:
 borne Mother of men, do not mourn!
