new SPRING STYLE
Coat and Skirt, an Evidence of
Grace and Simplicity.
Clever Women, With Aid of Their
Dressmakers Can Easily Copy
Many of Seasons Fashions.

Women-all women-still want TO
look attractive and to make the best
of themselves, but there is to be no
extravaganza, either in actual expendi-
ture or in general style. And just here,
observes a prominent fashion author
ity, the good sense of our Partisan
d~ressmakers makes itself felt. The
new spring styles are models of grace
and simple charm, in fact, many of
them are so very simple in outline that
any clever girl could copy them, per-
fectly, with the aid of a needlewom-
an or "the little dressmaker round the
corner"
For example, take the charming
model Of this spring coat and skirt.
1t is a Worth model made of dull blue
oatmeal cloth with many row of ma
chine-stitching done in thick cherry
red silk on the hem of the skirt and
also on the coat. At the waist there
is a smart girdle made of cherry-red
silk cord, finished off with long tas-
sells. This was a simple little costume
intended for morning wear, and it
could De copied In any color ana any
soft material. If desired the machine
stitching could match the dress mate
rial, the girdle, of course, following
suit. A particularly smart spring suit
might be made from this model, in
navy monks cloth with a machine
stitching in bordeaux-red, with girdle
to match. Or the costume would look
very elegant and attractive in black
camel's hair cloth, with black silk
stitchings and a printed silk lining for
the coat.
The sleeves of this model are wider
at the wrist than at the elbow. This
is one of the new ideas. These sleeves
are not at all exaggerated in outline,
but the wide opening at the wrist is

had a notably large crown and quite

THE SCARLET CROSS
BY
Margaret Widdemer
OF the VigiIantes.

What is it that you do today, who lift the Scarlet Cross?
For all the withered world is down in ruin and in loss,
And all the world hears clashing sword, and hears no sound less plain
What can you do who lift the Cross, but heal to fight again?
We guard the women left alone, heartbroken for their dead,
We save the children wandering where all save Fear has fled,
We raise again the broken towns swept down by shot and shell,
We heal again the broken souls hopeless from learning He'll
Oh, they who saw but Grief and Hate see now u red sign plain
We save the sad worlds soul alive that War had nearly slainl

than English soldiers. With the
latter, the first verse of Annie
Laurie (the greatest favorite of alD,
or 'Suwahee River or 'Clementine'
(revived in compliment to American
comrades), is apt to go well enough;
but is almost sure to be followed by
a gradual dwindling of sound, until
at the end, perhaps, no more than
half-a-dozen are really singing, the
others being reduced to absolute
silence or a hesitating bumbling as
of a bluebottle in n window-p pane.
The song-book required should
therefore contain. to begin with, the
words of twenty or thirty favorite
old songs-it would be easy enough
to make a suitable list. Then would
follow a few of the. good music-hall
songs (words only which have sur

Considered Alright, their grim silence
is that of some tremendous machine
which is running smoothly and
achieving it's purpose without any
fuss at ALL"
The defect might be remedied, Mr..
Osborn points out. and since "sing-
ing breeds cheerfulness," it is sug-
gested that the men of the new
armies be provided with suitable
song-books:
The book which would be most
useful to them would contain, in the
first place. the words of the old
familiar tunes that have survived
so many of the wildly popular music
hall ditties. The British working
man turned soldier is curiously con-
scientious in this matter, and quite
unlike the concert-singers, who
think more of tune and tone than of
the human significance of a song;
he will not open his mouth If he
has not the words by heart. If he
comes from Scotland or Wales, he
almost always knows the words
time has welded to his inherited
melodies. That is why Scottish and
Welsh regiments are so much better

Honeysuckle and the Bee (the lat

headquarters here of the conviction of
William F.. Martin in the federal court

containing three counts which charged
him with slandering the Red Cross,

trial on all grounds except that Of in
sanity and postponed final disposition
of the case ten days to enable the at

ground that the Red Cross is not a
