August % the following article APP

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 443
is the number estimated as necessary
to be supplied before the first of Jan
uary, 1910. 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 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 1t 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 ut least u 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

Interest In PIaids.

Perhaps 1t 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 ouI
interest in plaids. Perhaps It Is just
because bright colors are In vogue as
a counteractive against the grimness
of war, or perhaps 1t 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 ia pleated designs to carry
out the idea of the highlander.

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 q variety Of them In cot
ton and In silk fabrics. They are
made In two pieces with more or less
fancy coats and jackets and In the
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
fesh-cOlOred wash satin Is shown. 1t
appeared at the Style Show recently
held ut Chicago, and Its lure caused
many good dollar to pass from buy
ers Of apparel to the manufacturer OF
this particular garment, These buyers
know It's lure will coax more dollars
out of the purses of dainty and luxury
loving women.
Wash satin lingerie seems an ex-
trayagance, but In the long run 1t can
not be considered so. The satin
proves to be very durable and the ma
ture of this material precludes the use
of n lot of fragile but useless trim
mings. Hemstitchlng, 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.

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 n multitude of sins and
makes quick work Of giving smart
and neat finish to all sorts of tailored
frocks, coats and suits. There Is a
kind of double, folded braid that may
easily be applied to the edge of
sleeves, tunics or skirts, giving them
n 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 rs Il 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.

Old Style Football Tame
Compared to PushbaII

There was a time when sport re-
formers lamented tearfully and loud
the roughness of football and other
sports. Wonder what those '-pessi.
mistic Petes" would say if they hap
pened into any Army or Navy camp
and saw some of the games the SOL
diers and sailors are playing in order
to ut themselves for the great game
over Tehre."
Football, ven the old football of
the flying n revolving wedge, has
become a parlor game to some of the
games these lads are playing. The
new games are virile, they demand
strength n they annot be played by
men with yellow streaks. And after
ward. when these boys go over the top
they will realize the benefit Of these
games.
There Is nothing of the parlor game
about pushball. In the first place a
elbows got to be pretty husky to do
much juggling with the monster ball
which is more tina six feet in dame
ter and weighs about $50 pounds.
h huge ball Is placed In the CEN
ter Of the field. On either side ten
or fifteen yards away are equal sides
lined up. At the referees signal both
teams charge on the ball.
It's quite likely the big ball will
knock down a couple OF fellows and
plaster them into the mud before II
gets up IN the air.
Then. outside of what thu ball is
likely to do, every one has to be pre-
pared for the rushing teams which
have any football rush ever seen
backed off the boards.
