From Red Cross Briefs, published
In Atlanta the following Inspiring &C.
count of Red Cross work In France is
taken:
The national headquarters of the
American Red Gross in Washington
has just received report from Major
Perkins, Red Cross commissioner to
France, on the work of civil relief
and restoration done in France during
the month Of February.
During this one month, substantial
aid was given to over hundred thou
sand French refugees, repatriates and
other war sufferers. This number in
cluded about twenty thousand persons
In the devastated areas, seven thou
sand five hundred repatriates in prov
fnces and nearly six thousand under
nourished Paris school children. More
than twenty-five thousand people were
given hospital care during this one
month, including thousands of repatri-
ate children at Evian, and about a
thousand tuberculosis patients in Paris
who were given supplementary ra-
tons daily.
Work is now being conducted by
the Red Cross in SO French cities and
villages, not including the Friends
unit which has 81 relief stations, or
the Smith College unit which works
in IL villages. Nine civilian hospitals
with total capacity Of more than a
thousand beds and 46 dispensaries give
care to children, tuberculosis patients
and refugees.
Grants Of money to French organ
izations during the month totaled
more than half million francs, and,
in addition, large quantities Of cloth
ing, food and household goods were
distributed.
The Red Cross now has a staff of
400 workers in France, 66 having been
added during February.

of experts in every particular. The
skirt has panel at the front and back
formed by plaits. that are not pressed
in and is cut to ankle length. 1t is sim
pie enough; but there is nothing simple
about the coat. 1t is the creation of a
master designer who was able to carry
out an elaborate inspiration. Its skirt
lis made in pointed panels of uneven
length and large and small covered
buttons serve to ornament it. The
print and button ideas appear again
in the cuffs. A suit like this gives its
wearer the assurance of being well
enough dressed whatever the demands
may be.

General Pershing has just called
on the army medical department to
accept 100000 convalescent uniforms
made by American women and offered
to the army. The general points out
that the medical department Is buy
ing in the open market pajamas, oper-
ating gowns, bath robes and GONZALES
cent suits while the Red Cross stands
ready to supply them. He tells the
surgeon general at Washington that
the work of the Red Cross is Of i'm
mense value in keeping up the morale
of the army, and that it also releases
labor for use elsewhere.

A Vogue for White.-

Quantities of delightful models,
both imported and domestic, are de-
veloped in white-white wool, white
silk, white linen and white cotton
and both the oyster white and ivory
white are featured as well as the clear
whites. In heavy creepy tissor of oys-
ter white there are some admirable
frocks and three-piece costumes, and
the deep ivory whites are combined
in especially felicitous ways with old
blue and Chinese blue.

CHAPTER XII.
Over the Top.

On my second trip to the trenches
our officer was making his rounds of
inspection, and we received the cheer
full news that at four in the morning
we were to go over the top and take
the German front-linc trench. My heart
turned to lead. Then the officer car
ried on with his instructions. To the
best of my memory ! recall them as
follows: "At eleven wiring party will
go out in front and cut lanes through
our barbed wire for the passage of
troops in The morning. At two o'clock
our artillery will open up with an in
tense bombardment, which will last I'M
til four. Upon the lifting of the bar
rage the first of the three waves will

Tommies. first getting permission from
the sergeant. went into the machine
