EAGER YOUNG AMERICANS
From point near this last Foyer
a communicating trench led to the
front line where look-outs guarded
their posts every moment. Dug
outs filled with men were conven-
lent to the trench. When the sector
was quiet the soldiers worked dur
ing the night Strengthening and ex.
tending their positions, and in the
day they slept or tried to invent
some recreation. And here, right
in the red mouth OF danger, the in.
vestigators found the boys from the
United States. They thought that
No Mans Land was something Of
a bore and were eager to make II
undisputed French land. They
waited because they must, but they
were young to the game and con-
fessed It.
Alert and businesslike, the Amer
acan boys duplicated IL scenes of

Just who built the first automobile
In the United States is matter Of
dispute. Elwood Haynes Of the

In the issue of the Central Division
Bulletin Of the American Red Cross of
August % the following article APP
pears:
Women of Cheerful Disposition for
Hospital Hut Service Abroad.
Several hundred American women,
whose dispositions are of the cheerful
variety, are wanted for work in the
Red Cross hospital huts in France.
The cheerful disposition" proposition
Is an essential requisite, for the reason
that their duty will be to spread cheer
among the boys who are convalescing
after wounds received ON the battle
field or from attacks of illness.
The bureau of personnel Of the
American Red Cross already has en-
rolled $50 Of these workers, while 44S
is the number estimated as necessary
to be supplied before the first Of JAN
uary, 1919. The Red Cross commits
sioner to France, in a cablegram call
ing for these hospital hut workers,
specifying some of the qualifications
required, suggested that the women
chosen should be those who are keen
on entertainment. Lots of music, read
ing aloud, and all that sort Of thing
help to make the recovery of wounded
and sick soldier boys much. quicker
than otherwise would be the case.
Everything that keeps up spirits and
turns thoughts in a channel that pre-
vents one of the bitterest of all all
-homesickness-is gOdsend.
The American Red Cross intends
that there shall be no lack of enter
tainment and good cheer lover there"
and it is particularly desired therefore
that the call for hospital hut workers
be complied with according to sched-
! ule. Those who volunteer for this
service will be expected to remain
abroad for at least year.
1t is desirable that applicants be
able to pay their own expenses, but in
, cases of exceptional qualifications the
Red Cross will pay living expenses in
France. Transportation to and from
France will be furnished by the Red
Cross.
There should be no mistaken notion
that this hospital hut service is easy

Interest in PIaids.

Perhaps it is through the influence
of the Scotch kilties, who have ap.
peared at various times In our Ameri-
can cities to remind us that the kins-
men of Bruce and Wallace are among
our allies, that we have revived our
interest in plaids. Perhaps it is just
because bright colOrs are in vogue as
counteractive against the grimness
of war, or perhaps it is just time that
plaids returned to vOgue-they do
periodically, do they not? At any rate.
some of the most interesting of the
new separate skirts are made from
Scotch plaid and some of these skirts
are made in pleated designs to carry
out the idea of the highlander.

Braid Much. Used.

Braid is going to be very much used
this autumn. There is real wartime
reason for this, as braid is something
that covereth multitude of sins and
makes quick work of giving a smart
and neat finish to all sorts of tailored
frocks, coats and suits. There is
kind of double, folded braid that may
easily be applied to the edge Of
sleeves, tunics or skirts, giving them
a complete finish with the minimum of
work. The home dressmaker will do
well to make use of this new vogue
for braid. OF course, .braid is not al
ways used as a labor-saving device,
for in many of the new and smart
suits very elaborate system of braid
trimming is carried out, often more
than one sort of braid being combined
in one design,

In the Dark.

A cOlored minister was about to lead
his congregation in prayer when sud-
denly the floor Of the church sank a
foot, causing commotion among the
parishioners. The preacher was equal
to the occasion and quickly quoted
his flock by solemrly saying:
"Stay just whar yo' all is, my peO-
pie, de Lawd is wifi YOU"
Immediately big Nose Peters

Many women have become addicted
to the pajama habit, and pajamas are
beginning to crowd nightdresses in
the good graces of the up-to-date young
woman. Already manufacturers are
turning out variety of them in cot
ton and in silk fabrics. They are
made in two pieces with more or less
plain original model borrowed FROM
the masculine garment. But the tend
ency is away from the severe type to
the more feminine and frivolous styles.
In the picture a one-piece model of
flesh-cOlored wash satin is shown. 1t
appeared at the Style Show recently
held at Chicago, and its lure caused
many a good dollar to pass from buy
ers of apparel to the manufacturer of
this particular garment. These buyers
know its lure will coax more dollars
out of the purses of dainty and luxury
loving women.
Wash satin lingerie seems an eX-
travagance, but in the long run it can
not be considered so. The satin
proves to be very durable and the ma
ture of this material precludes the use
of a lot of fragile but useless trim
mings. Hemstitching, fine tucks,
French knots, and durable lace edg-
ings prove the best choice for trim
ming satin lingerie, and they last as
long as the things they decorate.
The pajamas pictured are cut with
a kimono body joined to very full PAN
falcons held by fiat elastic band to

work, for it surely is not. Emergen-
cies may arise which will make it
necessary to call upon the workers for
duties not on the program; for it is
now an established rule of the Red
Cross that all those accepting service
abroad must hold themselves in readi-
ness to accept any duty which is as
signed to them. Only those who have
strong constitutions, and do not tire
easily-and who still possess that
never-to-be-forgotten cheerful .dispO-
sition"-are fitted for enrolment in
the hospital hut service. Application
should be made to the Bureau of Per-

Summer Smock.

1t would be impossible to create a
more artistic garment for summer
wear than the smock. Young girls and
slender women find it exceptionally
becoming. The loose and straight but
pliable lines Of the smock conceal and
even beautify defects, Stimulating a
pleasant roundness of figure. The ma
terials used for them range from cal
leo to georgette crepe. One very prac-
teal smock is very much like a large
allover apron, for it buttons on the
shoulders, is very long and shows
huge pockets capable of holding any
necessary articles, from knitting to
farming implements.

Record Dive Almost Caused Death.
A new worlds record for high diving
was made at Sydney, Australia, during
water carnival for the purpose of
raising war relief funds, when n Solo
mon islander, Alick Wickham, dived
from a height of 205 feet. The man
was able to retain both consciousness
and equilibrium for the first $50 feet,
after which all became blank. Wick
hom struck the water in semi-prone
position with such force that he was
completely knocked out for more than
ten minutes. When taken from the
water he was bleeding from a dozen
places about the body.
