Red Cross Activities.

1t is very gratifying to the women
in charge of the work rooms, and to
our Director of woman's work, that
we are having so many auxiliaries
forming. We have now eight, and
every afternoon is taken up.
It would do any ones heart good
to have peeped into the rooms on
Tuesday afternoon. Fully twenty
girls from the Junior Auxiliary were
at work on property bags, two hum
dred of which have been allotted to
them. Besides these were some eight
or ten girls clipping scraps for the
pillows. After the Juniors left a COM
mittee from the D. A. R. Auxiliary
took possession of the machines and
turned out quite a creditable amount
of work.
The Y. w. A. of the Baptist
Church is one of our newest AuXll-
~iaries, and they are fine workers.
They meet on Mondays, and so far
all of their work has been passed by
the inspectors.
It takes an immense amount OF
cutting, and on n afternoon TWEEN
ty-six garments were cut out by four
ladies, this being the largest amount
ever cut in one afternoon.
The ". c.. T. u. have the credit
for this.
The Episcopal women have the
palm, though for the greatest num-
Der of finished garments to date,
and the regularity with which their
members CONE to the rooms on Fri
day afternoons. On Friday night OF
this week they r putting on NOV
ing pictures, and will show "The Spi-
rit of the Red Cross" 1t is earnestly
hoped that they will have a crowded
house as the money is to be given
to the Red Cross.
Our newest Auxiliary was formed
bv the colored people last Saturday
at the Methodist church. Several OF
us we're invited over to hear two
MAGNIFICENT addresses, one by Prof.
Thomas, on Food Conservation and
health, and the other a most delight
ful talk on the work of the Red Cross
and the need for a Sa~nitarium In
this district for Tubercular patients
bv the Chairman of this work for
the negroes, a finely educated color
ed girl. She is the wife of DR.. R. ii,
Walton, a prominent colored physl-
clan of Columbia. She. stressed the
necessity of keeping the body heal
thv. In her talk she brought tears to
many eyes. She spoke as if she were
inspired, and she held the audience
spell-bound by her descriptions. A
larger number of our white people
should have heard her. Their Auxil-
iary has as it's Chairman, Charlotte
Ramey and they have been given a
room in the colored Methodist par
sonage for their meetings. They are
to meet in the Red Cross work room
on Saturday afternoon to find out
about the work to be given out to

VELVET is REPLACING SATIN
Only Material That Can Be Safely
Worn Against Face Without Re-
lief After Twenty.

More and more we notice velvet re-
placing satin. There Is no fabric on
earth which softens and beauties like
velvet. 1t Is the kindest material In
the world when 1t Is placed next a
woman's face and it is about the only
material that is safely worn against
the face without relief after one Is
over twenty.
One Of the loveliest OF velvet models
is shown in black (good black velvet
always looks like million dollars)
The waist has deep V in front which
extends at least nine inches below the
waist. This is filed in with Ma
donna blue georgette. The top of the
georgette at the neck is cut square
across. The V Is then outlined with
fur and the fur, Of course, goes around
the back of the neck.
The skirt is made with two TUNES
which open at the front. Both are out
lined with this fur edge. the fur going
around the bottom and then up to the
waist. The sleeves are quite long over
the hand, smooth-fitting and without a
bit of trimming. There Is not touch
Of embroidery or braiding of any kind
on this frock and it Is quite handsome
and distinctive.

featured the wool side being often
used as trimming for the garment.
That Is, suit of the fabric may have
the satin side turned out, and bands
OF the other side trim the skirt and
be used for cuffs and collar. Heavy
silk crepes are also much used in the
development of suits.
An interesting suit of broadcloth re-
Gently seen had the coat skirt round
ed at the back lit was full knee
lengthy and trimmed with several
rows of two-inch-wide velvet ribbon
In contrasting color. The front Of the
coat was Of the cutaway type.
Detachable fur cuffs, collars that
may be snapped, fastened down to
form shawl collars or revers or wrap
ped around the throat scarf style, de-
tachable vests and panels that fold
up to form muffs are special suit fea-
lures.
The straight silhouette is the pre-
vailing one.

SHAWL SCARF, NEW FEATURE
Finished With Fringe and So Ar
ranged That 1t Can Be Left
Off Entirely.

The narrow shoulder cape is seen
on many of the newest and smartest
wraps. 1t hangs only from the back
however, and does not come over the
shoulders.
The shawl scarf, which can be
thrown over one shoulder, Is also a
new feature. 1t is finished with a
fringe and is so arranged that it can
be left off entirely.
Some of these heavy velours and
duyetyn wraps have beautiful en-
broidery In heavy wooden threads Of
contrasting color. This Is not unp1eas-
ing, as such trimming is new and I'M
usual enough to be welcome for its
novelty. For instance, dark brown
coat Of military cut shows trailing
sprays of flowers, done in this heavy
wool and outlined with black threads,
to give them tone. For the most part
the newest wraps are made for service
and utility and have nothing frivolous
about them.
Not so, however, are the dressy, de-
lightful brocades and velvets. These
have claimed all of the foolish, perish.
able, beautiful notions that the stern
winter coats forego, and reveal them
selves In fabrics as soft and transpar-
ent as possible, such as georgette
crepe de chine and rare velvets and
brocades. Fur bands them from hem
to collar.

LONG COAT SUITS
Outer Garment Serves Well Over
Sheer Afternoon Frocks.
Knee Length and Longer Is the Rule
Followed by Many Of the Lead
ing Designers.

Many Of the high-grade. expensive
suits now being shown for winten
have coats that are so long that they
may. If desired, serve as separate
dressy coats over sheer afternoon
frocks, especially if the color of suit
and dress blend satisfactorily. Knee
length and longer is the rule fol-
lowed by many of the suit designers
who are regarded as style authorities
OF course, these very long coats are
used only with the suits made Of
handsome rich materials. Suits for
general and sports wear are equipped
with coats that average "a to 38
inches.
The suit shown in the sketch Is an
example of the type that will be Of
fered In velvet, velveteen and many
of the handsome, soft pile fabrics.
Fur trimming is featured. Touches
of handsome, heavy embroidery add
to the beauty of the garment.
Satin suits are playing an impor-
tGnt role In the showing Of winter
models. Some of these are made Of
regular, heavyweight satin; but q

satin on the other Is being very much

CANARY RISES TO PROTEST
Declares Increase In Cost of Living
Has Been Excessive, and Gives
Figures to Prove It.

Among the latest to protest against
the habit of raising prices, simply be-
cause the raised price can be secured,
there was heard, recently new voice.
1t was that OF canary. Neing bird
whose motto had ever been: "Strict
application to business" 1t had been
his custom, when the rest of the fam
lily left the city during the summer
and shut up the house, to board him
self cut. Two years ago, he could, he
says, get good accommodation, an airy
room with a sunny aspect, good seed,
water, bath, and unrestricted oppor-
tunity for vocal exercise for thirty
cents week. Last year, however, the
charge for the same accommodation
was raised to forty cents, and this year
1t appears he has been obliged to pay
fifty cents. He is willing, he declares,
to sustain his share of the burden OF
the war, but he regards 66 per cent
rise as unduly hard on bird Of mod
crate means.

BROWNS AND WHO WEAR THEM
ePopuIar Shades for Blondes and Bru-
nettes of Any Type-Supply 10
Adequate for All.

If more women had a finer appreci-
alton Of the part that color plays In
making them attractive or unattrac-
tive, and in affecting their feelings,
there would be noticeable decrease
in the list of the popular shades So
called, declares fashion writer Take
for example the craze for tango color
that possessed the feminine world not
SC very long ago. From lily white
tlonde to florid brunette everybody,
or nearly everybody, managed to in
troduce tango somewhere on her per-
son. The result? Well, that Is best
judged now that the craze is over.
However. there is still plenty of
of room for color crimes, for another
season of brown is being prophesed.
Now there are as many shades and
fues and tints of brown as there are
ladies to wear them. But somebody
whispers that the red browns are de-
cidedly TO be the thing. Which means
that all types and ages of women
from the blondy blonde of tender
years to the sallow woman well past
her first youth is going to go '1n' for
led brown, confident that she has
Dame Fashion for a sponsor.
Now all types and all ages of wom-
ELI can find some one brown to suit,

but she also has brown. unhealthy

Paris.-In the very heart Of a

Whenever a military policeman had

They were grim faces of serious-mind-

Then they underwent a change. The

The frown of Impotence at delay was
gone and, in contrast to the silence in
which they had received the homage

war songs, laughed and cracked jokes
and replied with Yankee roar to the
