MISS GREEN SHOWS HOW TO MAKE
 HATS AT HOME

Two millinery demonstrations were the Food Hut on State street. The women of Bridgeport are most enthu- siastic over the work and judging from the hats which they have made after attending a demonstration, the work is proving to be as practical as it is popular.
 At yesterdays meetings Miss Gladys B. Green demonstrated first the mak- ing of the very simplest hat, and then showed the women how to design the buckram frames, on which larger hats are made. Two ways of covering the brims were demonstrated and two styles of crowns were shown. The varia tions make a wide range of styles possible from the one lesson.
 This afternoon. Miss Green is giv- ing a demonstration on cold pack canning, showing the method of can ming fruits and vegeta bles.
 On Wednesday each week there will be a demonstration on some phase of the work in clothing, such as dyeing, millinery, stain, removing etc. On next Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 there will be a demonstration on The Use of the Home Dyes"
 Thursday will be the regular de monstration day each week for worl in food. On next Thursday at 23' D. m. there v|1l be a demonstration l. on the making of jams and jehies.

ASK YOUR NEIGHBOR

It has been said that there Is now hardly city town or village in this couptry wherein some woman does not reside who has found health in that good, old fashioned remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound. Therefore. if you are suffer- ing from some ailment, and hardly know what to do for it, and have tried other remedies without help, ask your neighbor if she has ever us- ed Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If she herself has never had the need for 1t, undoubtedly she knows others who were just in your condition and who have been restored to health by it's use.-Adv.

Birthday Bio-Briefs
 Famous Women

Grace Darling was born in 1915, of William Darling, keeper of the Light house on the Longstone, one of the Farne Islands, off the coast of Northumberland. She was describ ed as being remarkable for a retir- ing and somewhat reserved disposi- ton, gentle in aspect and mild and benevolent in character On the 9th of September, 1898, the Forfarshire a steamer of about 300 tons, was on her way from Hull to Dundee. She had a valuable cargo, and sixty-three passengers. A slight leak, patched up before her departure, broke out afresh when off Flamoorough Head, and rendered it difficult to maintain the fire in the engines. Soon she began to encounter a strong north wind and a high sea. The leak in creasing, the engine fires gradually went out, and although the sails were then used, they could not prevent the vessel from being driven south ward. Wind, rain, fog and a heavy sea all beset the hapless vessel. About 4 o'clock In the morning of the 9th, she struck on one of the precipitous part of the rocky islands. At day break William Darling deserted the ship about a mile distant; it soon be-
 came known at Bamborough that a ship had been wrecked, but so fear fully did the waves beat, that the boatman at Bamborough refused to push off. Grace could see, by the l aid of a glass, the sufferers clingine to the wreck; the father and daughter | put out in a boat, each taking ar | oar. They rowed the fearful mile

But the child of France is child who can appreciate; none of them is too young to appreciate, for gratitude and courtesy are parallels fin the ed- ucation of the French tot. Thou sands there arc in France who are today without fathers or without mothers; thousands of children there arc in France who have no homes and no friends. or relatives to look up to for protection and encourage ment.
 And yet only today spoke the sweet voices of two homeless, orphaned children of that splendid land: they spoke their little heart and they spoke with the sincerity that children only can. On paper they spoke their feelings and thanked him who had been SO kind and considerate of man kind-and more. of those innocent little ones who. after all, are the real victims and sufferers of barbarous warfare.
 So it was with no wonder that T. q. Kingsbury of 22O9 North avenue, smiled as he accepted a French post marked letter from q courteous post man the other day. He had receiv- ed other letters like that, but none sounded so sweet. so pathetic and appreciative as this one-from Mar NH kind American godfather.
 With charming simplicity, childish and modest enthusiasm that would win the heart of anyone rang out the words in the letter. Marcelle is only nine years old and her letters, for she sent many. are not only interest ing. but toughtful intellectual and convincinE-as convincing a child best can be. Her father was killed tD Af hn Ma, nd her mother, died from a broken heart. Sinco the demise of her moth CT little Marcelle has been in the care of her aunt. with whom also lives her younger sister.
 Narcotics sweet little sister. with the smile of Madonna. is also a god-daughter to a local family and appears with her sister in the pie ture. In one of her letters. Marcelle speaks of the probable visit of Mir. and Mrs. Kingsbury to France and one can almost imagine the child ish anticipation and the thrilling in- terest in meeting her new American guardians. who have been a source of pleasure and comfort to her dur ing the saddest part of her young life when she became an orphan.
 Just like tale of fiction is the story one can weave around the two younssters. dreaming about their rod-parents far away across the wide ocean. The kind remembrances and generous interest of their American friends, no doubt, tend to urge the presence of sunshine and encourage ment of happiness in their cloudy and saddened lives. The letters are full of happiness and appreciation and bear an irresistible charm fl their theme.
 Following arc tho two letters re ceived this week:

Dear GOdfather:-
 am very glad to send you at last a photograph of myself and my sister Yvonne (Jeanne Celine). I am the taller, being the oldest. It is due to your generosity that I have this pleasure. I renew to you my sincere thanks. You told me in your letter that you had been searching on map of France for our town of Vii enne and which you believed was about 20 miles from Lyons, which is 30 kilometers from here. I also have I also have looked for Bridgeport on a map of America and saw that it was on the coast north of New
 York. It is a large city, whereas Vienne has only 25,000 to 28,000 i'm habitants. Perhaps you would like to get some ideas of the town where I live. It certainly does not in the least resemble the large and beauti- full cities of America; it has nothing modern. It was celebrated in olden times under the Romans who left many remembrances such as monu- ments. acqueducts. and stone sculp- lures. Today it is again one of the ! principal cities of the Department of the Isere. situated in this beautiful valley of the Rhone which the Boches (the Germans) wanted to take from us. Happily the Americans | camo to our aid. Vienna Is built like | an ampitheatre surrounded by green and well cultivated hills, bathed by

ETIQUETTE

Bridal Jewels - "If a bride-to-be receives presents of jewels should she wear them during the wedding cere- mony?"
 Answer-It's partly a matter of taste and party a question of who presented the jewels. It is not con sidered good taste for a bride to wear conspicuous jewelry during the we'd Sng ceremony. Such jewels as are worn are usually the gift of the bridegroom or of very near and dear friends.
 Ending Letter. How should a lady conclude very friendly, chatty letter to a gentleman friend, but whom she is not sufficiently intimate with to call by his first name? It seems awfu1ly formal to write Yours truly in such a case; or even Yours sincerely.''
 Answer.-One, high authority on so- cia1 usage suggests in such a case that the woman end her letter somewhat after this fashion:
 Believe me, dear MT. B., sin cerely yours," and then your sigma ture.
