The needs of the refugees and the
French wounded still keep the workers
of the American Fund for French
Wounded busy, even though the war is
at an end Layettes, pajamas. hos
pital garments of all kinds will be
gratefully received by the American
Fund for French Wounded, and they
will supply patterns. These should be
secured from their headquarters at go
East Washington street, Chicago.
Among the things most needed are
surgical shirts of twilled muslin.
These shirts open in the back. The
left sleeve is left open from wrist to
neck, the edges hemmed. 1t is fas-
tened by short strips of tape sewn
on in pairs, five inches apart. The
back is fastened in the same way.
Many handkerchiefs are needed. They
are made of new material 10 by 10
inches when cut out, and hemmed on
the sewing machine, measuring Is by

recovered patients are allowed to take
with them, and they like to avail them
selves of this privilege.

Canada for many years will r6ss the
great burden of feeding the world.
With free interchange of travel, diff
culties of crossing and recrossing re-
moved, Canada may look for a speedy
resumption Of the large influx of set
tiers from the United States which
prevailed previous to the war. Dur
ing the war period there was a dread
of something, no one seemed to know
what. If the American went to Can
ada he might be conscripted, put in
prison, or in his attempt to cross
the border he would meet with innu-
merable difficulties, most of which,
of course, was untrue. These I'M
truths were circulated for purpose
by an element, which, 1t was discov-
cred, had an interest In fomenting
and creating trouble and distrust be-
tween two peoples whose language
and aims in life should be anything
but of an unfriendly character. The
draft law Of the United States, adopt
ed for the carrying out Of the high
purposes had in view by the United
States, kept many from going to Can
ada during the period Of the war. The
citizen army of the United States
was quickly modified, and contained
a large percentage of the young men
from the farms. In this way many
were prevented from going to Can
ada.
That is all over now. There are
no real or imaginary restrictions;
there is no draft law to interfere.
On the contrary, there is an I'M
fashionable depth of good feeling, and
the long-existing friendship is strong
er than ever. This has been brought
about by the knowledge of what has
been done in the recent great strug-
gle, each vying with the other in
giving credit for what was accom-
plished. In thought and feeling, in
language, in aims in life, in work, in
desire to build up new world, there
has been bred kinship which is as
indissoluble as time itself.-Adver-
tiSement.

A Cheerful Bedroom.

Bedrooms, of all the rooms in the
house, should be gay and cheerful,
and the short cut to an effect of cheer
and sunshine is yellow wall paper. In
working out scheme for yellow
bedroom blue and yellow chintz
could be used at the windows,
with the same chintz on some of the
furniture, and a plain blue linen on
the rest. Lamps made of powder blue
vases with yellow lacquer shades done
in Chinese design would emphasize
the blue note delightfully."- and work
out the lighting problem in an inter
esting way. The furniture might be
painted gray, and two-toned gray
rug would be very good on the floor.

Whether sport clothes inspired the
weavers of silk to make their splen-
did new products, or these heavy,
creepy silks inspired the elegance of
sport clothes, is an unanSwerable
question, but the two things are meant
for one another. A name is needed to
fit the hats and skirts, made of fine
materials in sport styles that are at
once very smart and altogether in
formal Some one has called hats OF
this character "veranda hats" since
they are quite at home on the club
house veranda, but hardly sturdy
enough for the links. 1t is an ade-
ouate description of them and might
also serve for skirts and coats.
The skirt in the picture above is
an example of elegance in sport
clothes. 1t is made of a heavy silk
with large checker-board pattern
woven in by alternating squares OF
plain silk in the others having crepe
surface. The bold checker-board de-
sign compels plain skirt, and this one
hangs straight, with its fullness gath-
cred in at the waist and is finished
with a straight belt of the silk. fas-
tening with a large button having
white center in black ring. Five OF
these big buttons are set down the
side, and a pocket, pointed at the bot
tom, finishes the brief but snappy story
of this classy garment.
If any doubts of the informal char
acter of so rich a skirt lie in the mind,
its fair wearer has taken pains to dis
pei them by wearing blouse of fine
white batiste with it. There is not
much to be told of this, except that it
depends On the always dependable va
Tenderness lace in insertions and edg-
ings for its dainty and spare decora-
ton. Both the batiste and lace are as

Miss Julia Stimson of Worcester,
Mass, chief nurse of the American
Red Cross in France since last April,
has been appointed chief nurse of the
American expeditionary forces, accord
ing to a cable message received at Red
Cross headquarters. For ten months
previous to entering the Red Cross
service Miss Stimson, graduate OF
Vassar, was attached to one of the IL
American hospital units assigned
to the British forces shortly after
this country entered the war. She
enlisted for the work before the United
States declared war.
Paris showed it's appreciation Of
the work done by the American Reo
Cross in France at celebration plan
ned by the municipal council to
take place on November IA. An
nouncement to this effect was made by
ChaSSaigne Guyot, vice president Oh Inc
council, at a reception rendered to
Henry P. Dawson, chairman OF the
war council of the American Red
Cross, at the Hotel de Vile. Mr..
Guyot said the city of Paris owed the
Red Cross debt which was growing
every day and that it showed its graft

call, the largest tax measure in the
worlds history. 1t is designed to raise
$4,000, 100000 in 1919 and 000,000,0O0
in 1920. Among the amendments ac-
copied was one making the District of
Columbia "bone dry" and another levy

contributions in excess Of $500. The
latter, it is supposed, will weaken the

with the voters as we'll as with the boss.
It is with daily life that the voter is
concerned. Whoever can convince the
people that their causes are actually
linked up with his own vital interests
will get plenty Of support-even If he is
a "reformer." If it can be shown, for
instance, that sincere opponents of boss
ism are willing and eager to enforce a
sort of policy that will insure a little
more Of comfort in trolley cars, a little
more happiness for children, better health
and better schools, an elimination Of
slums and the preservation of life by the
simple method of cleaning the streets,
bosses of the present type would quake
soon enough.
There is no doubt that all people want
to see the city made clean, and that any
methods likely to relieve the oppression
of life in the crowded sections of the city
would rouse their enthusiasm.
They want happiness. They feel they
have done "a days work when they quit
their jobs in the evening, and they do not
want to toll and fight for another addi-
tional hour in a mere effort to get home.
They would like to feel that their chill
dren could breathe clean air and play
with safety in the open, and that when
these children get a little bigger and go
to work they will not be crowded and
sweated and overdriven. Leaders who
come along with that sort of thing in
mind will not need to worry for support.
A small Council will greatly help to
clear the way for a better vision of the
city's responsibility to its people. But
until a better public policy can reawaken
interest in the voters a new charter will
not automatically accomplish much else.
