menagerie, acrobats and clowns, but
house hundreds of cots, wounded SOL
diers and Red Cross nurses.
All that reminds one of the circus
days of old are the methods and or
ganizatiOn of the people connected
with this tent city. For they, like the
circus people ut home, are here today
and gone tomorrow. And every vestige
OF their equipment is gone with them.
On an hours notice they strike their
tents, and within twenty-four hours
they are putting them up again--prob-
ably twenty miles away.
Carry Complete Equipment.
Their equipment and methods are
interesting. They carry every sort Of
sanitary, surgical and electrical phara-
phernalia to be found in the most mod
ern of hospitals. They have x-ray
outfits, sterilizing outfits, radiators
with steam heat, several operating ta-
bles with full equipment, electric light
plant and accommodations for the
care of more than two hundred and
fifty wounded-and all with person
mel Of less than one hundred men and
women. T..
But where they have the advantage
over the modern circuses is that they
supply their own transportation Three
huge motortrucks are the keystone of
the outfit. One is used as sterilizing
machine and electric light plant. An
other carries an emergency light plant
and central system for supplying steam
heat in the operating tents. The third
serves as a laundry and surgical in
struments carriage.
The tents, cots, bedclothing and 9TH
er equipment are slowed in three or
four trucks which are requisitioned
from the transportation department of
the army
Like regular circus, this mobile
hospital organization back of the lines
In France operates when the order
comes to move. The patients are evac.
uated first by ambulance. Then the
tents are struck and packed. Each
member of the hospital staff has spe-
Gifted duty to perform.
The personnel, nurses, army sur
geons and Orderlies are the last to
leave the ground, riding in ambulances
and trucks. When they mount to
their places the grounds are cleared Of
everything, just like the abandoned
circus grounds in America.
The commanding officer, with his
staff, jumps into touring car and
moves to the head of the column which
has formed in a road near by. The or
der is given to move and the hospital
is gone-where no one knows except

There is so much variety In the
styles Of fur garments that every shop
per may so forth to buy with the hap
py assurance of being pleased. There
are short coats and coates, scarf and
ruff sets, some long coats and several
capes that are part scarf and scarfs
that are part girdle. The short fur
coat shows signs of being the best
liked Of all the assortment, by women
who expect to spend the winter in the
North, but 1t must admit rivals when
there is likelihood of a southern So
jOurn. There are several fetching gar
ments that intrigue the favor of those
who have an eye for novelty and grace.
Especially when furs are to be worn
more for their beauty and becoming
ness than for actual warmth.
Some of the new capes are extended
at the front, suggesting the union of
q cape and scarf, and these betray
pockets when you least expect them
in the scarf ends. They will keep the
hands warm. The cape shown in two
views in the picture has a collar form
ed Of band of martin which decides
to be generous and to perform the duty
Of girdle. This Is just one more ex-
ample of the two-in-One-garment idea
which fur designers have enjoyed
working with this season. The cape

georgette is simple In design with a
silk embroidery in color and a cape
collar to redeem 1t from plainness.
But one looks at it twice because Of
little eccentricity in this collar. 1t is
slashed In a "V" at each side and the
edge Of the 'V" Joined by little straps
Of georgette. This simple little deco
ration proved so good in the collar
that 1t was introduced in the cuffs.
There are some very trim high
necked blouses among new arrivals
with deeper shoulder yokes than those
of the past season. They have long
sleeves and hint of mannish styles
just mere whisper of the mannish
line In cut and flnish-and they are
made Of the same sheer materials a.

went into this war game, and he al
ways delivered the goods" That's
what he's doing now.
He delivers the goods" under a
Y. NJ. @. A. sign that is dented and
pierced by shrapnel. Sometimes he
delivers the goods" by carrying his
stock up and down the crooked line
of the trenches, themselves. The
shells may whistle over his head, but
Tom Barber is perfectly matter-of-fact,
as he doles out sweet chocolate, and
Paris papers, and friendly grins to
the men who are so glad to see him.
He's just holding down his job.
The Y. M. G. A. hut that is his job
Is right up near the line of action.
The soldiers In 1t wear their gas
masks always at alert. Gas alarms
are frequent, and shells explode night
ly in the ruins of the village. Within
an hours walk are the trenches that
stretch across France.
There are many graves, both French
and German, along the road that leads
to the hut. Some Of the crosses are
already gray and weather-beaten. BY
day you may not pass along the road,
for the enemy might see, and then
there would only be another grave to
dig.

frame just large enough for a soldier
to stick his head and shoulders
through comfortably. ! Next to the
counter are rows Of shelves, divided
into compartments, and reaching to

canned peaches to the latest maga-

weeks old, most Of them.
On the side of the room where the
light is best, are empty packing boxes,
which serve as chairs, where the boys
sit, while they eat their cakes Of
chocolate, and read the latest news
from home. Upstairs is a little room,
dim Of light, but austerely clean,
where the men gather for Sunday
services-when there's preacher to
be had-and for whatever entertain

get for them. It's part of his job

thinks. .-......
