There will be rustling through the front line

heaven ladened Secretary will make his way

In his hands will be great stcamirg pots: in

From one man to another he will go, passing
cup sull of hot coffee to hands that tremble with
the cold; bringing the comfort of bit of sweet
and smoke.
Men will hail him chcerily, slapping him on
the back; and when he has gone things will be
little easier in that trench because he has passed
that way.
How much will it cost to make that :rip-do

DRESSING CHRISTMAS DOLLS
~so Sure the Clothes Come On and Off," Is Advice of Woman Who
 Has Had Much Experience.

Be sure the clothes come on and off" This is the injunction that one :. woman has to make every year when she gets to work at her usual Christ mas task of getting 50 dolls dressed for 50 little orphans who live in an in- stitution in which she is interested. She buys the dolls at wholesale prices and then gets good folk she knows to dress them, but always with the re- quest goes this injunction-"be sure and don't sew the clothes on."
 The reason fer this is the fact that these 50 little girls are like all other little girls in liking dolls that can be dressed and undressed, and the first thing they do on receiving their Christ mas doll is to see how readily it may be dressed and put to bed and then dressed again.
 In dressing dolls it is possible to buy paper patterns for doll clothes One set sold by leading pattern concern, contains a cape with a hood, jumper dress and guimps, a bathrobe and a petticoat and drawers-all for ten cents. The only trouble with this sort of pattern is that it doesn't always it the doll you choose: in fact, it IS by tha merest accident that the paper pat tern would fit the doll. Although the

The first of the new blouses, the ad- vance guard and forerunners of spring styles, are appearing over the horizon of the apparel world. They are here because January is not far off and those fashionables, who turn their backs upon winter and journey south when it's nipping cold arrives demand them. Some of these new styles will establish themselves and become fash ionable, others will perish of neglect, and some may be shot to pieces by ad- verse criticism.
 It is not difficult to select those that are sure to survive. Among them there are dainty, handmade lingerie blouses, of fine cottons, with needlework and lace decorations. Always welcomed by the far-sighted stay-at-homes, who take advantage of January white sales and long winter evenings to do much work for themselves, they are come with as- surance of success. There are both high necked and open throat models among them and they are prettier than ever-or they seem so--new lingerie blouses always do.
 The two blouses shown above are of crepe georgette. This lovely, fragile looking material proves to be as dur able as cotton and as practical, be- .ause ie is washable. At the right he model is made of georgette in Il

The materials used for the hand SOmest winter coats are the softest and richest that the looms have ever woven. They have scared in price, and increased in fascination, until the average woman can hardly afford to get nearer to them than the outside of a show window The coats made of them, usually fur trimmed, have both comfort and distinction, and are alto gether irresistible; they have another saving grace-they are very durable. Velours and duvetyn, in the heavier qualities and similar weaves that are christened with new names each sea- son, are used for the dressy coats; these fabrics are the best vehicles for soft, rich colors, and have made it possible to use lively shades in coats instead of the usual neutral ones.
 At the left of the picture above coat in taupe colored velours is shown. It is an ample, enveloping affair that
Cleveland County herald., 1918-12-05

looks equal to the most frigid weather. A belt which does not extend over the side body, makes up for 1t by being double across the front and back. Very handsome bone buttons furnish a practical fastening and a seal turn over collar adds Its luxurious touch as a finish.
 The dark coat of duvetyn at the right has the popular panel back and the unusually long waistIine. The wide belt is an extension of the back panel. The inconspicuous slit pockets are de- fined by a row of small cloth-covered buttons. Opossum fur makes the deep shawl collar and big cuffs that look so warm. Both the coats are shoe-top length and have roomy sleeves, and both are satin lined. Except for few novelties in new designs for tourists wear they are the last word in win ter coats and nothing better may be ex- pected.

pattern is cut in various sizes for dolls ranging from II to 30 inches in length, the proportions of your doll may be quite different from the doll used in cutting the original pattern. If the clothes do not fit it is not very difi- cult matter to make alterations in the patterns.
 You never need to allow any outlay for materials for dolls clothes, for there are always enough pieces in your work box, or a friends work box, to make all sorts of dainty garments. There are sure to be odds and ends of lace and insertion to use on the little underwear and pieces of ribbon with which the dresses can be trimmed.

In his more serious strain he says:

In his more serious strain he says: t"Theys a kind O feel in the air to me. When the Chris mas times sets in, That's about as much of a mystery AS ever Ive run ag'ini Fer instunce, now, whilse I gain in weight And general health I swear They's a goneness somers. I can't quite state A kind O feel in the air. Is it the racket the children raise? Wy, no!-God bles 'em!-no!- Is it the eyes and cheeks abaze Like my own wuz, long ago? Is it the bleat O the whistle and beat O the little toy drum and blare O the horn? No! no! It is jest the sweet The sad, sweet feel in the air"
 Paul Laurence Dunbar, in his char acteristic dialect, says of Christmas: ''Step wid de banjo an glide wid de
 fiddle, Dis ain no time fu' to pottah an piddle; Flu Christmas is comin', it's right on the
 way, An dey's houahs to dance fo' de break
 O de day. What if de win is talkin' an whistlin'? Look at dat fiah how hits spittin' an
 bristlin'i Heat in de ashes an heat in de cindah,
 
 dah."
 To return to the real spirit of Christ mas, as it commentaries the birth of Christ, Margaret E. Sangster says: "We love to think of Bethlehem, That little mountain town, To which on earth's first Christmas day Our blessed Lord came down; A lowly manager for his bed, The cattle near in stall There, cradled close in Mary's arms, He slept, the Lord of all Now breaks the latest Christmas morni Again the angels sing, And far and near the children throng Their happy hymns to bring. All heaven is stirred! All earth Is glad! For down the shining way The Lord who came to Bethlehem Comes yet on Christmas day"
