OF course everyone knows that it is really
most too warm to even think about ones ward
robe for fall, and yet to keep feminine
reputation we must at least once mention those
clothes which the stores are already showing.
1t seems that duvetyn is to be one of the

dark blue duvetyn trimmed with Roman striped
ribbon and tiny covered buttons.

Spurred on by the monster rally
that was held Saturday, December g.

the sixty troops in the District are
working at top speed in their endeavor
to enlarge their forces and set a mark
for membership that will be hard to
equal in any section of the country.
Tentative plans are now under way
for a grand rally to be staged in
Washington on January 3, when the
sixty seasoned troops and thirty more
now undergoing a course of training.
will give an exhibition such as hat;
never before been attempted in the
east. Each troop will center its ef-
