JEWISH RELIEF
DRIVE IN OCTOBER
=
All Are Urged to Contribute

Cause
NEEDS ARE INCREASED
Funds Will Be Used In Saving Rem
nants of Their Race From Utter
Destruction.

Norfolk, Va, Sept. lO.-Tha huge
ness of the task that confronts them
in saving the remnants of their race
abroad from utter destruction makes
it necessary for the Jews of this state
to turn to the citizens of the state
IF ether faiths for help in the com;Eg
Jewish relief drive. Heretofore the
funds necessary to finance Jewish re-
lief efforts abroad have been contri-
buted largely by Jews, but with the
larger responsibilities now devolvin2
upon them, it is imperative hat an
outside appeal be made. Thus Nice
Levy of Norfolk, State Chairman Of
;he Virginia Drive summed up the re.
sons for the non-sectarian appeal fol
Jewish relief funds to be staged
through the state in October.
In the past American Jews have
gladly answered call after cal! TO enc

.evy, Red Cross, Y. NJ. c. A, Sal
lation Army, War Camp Commun;t!

"The same is being done all dowr

To Freshen Black silk Waist

To the Editor Of tho WomdnS Page:
Dear Madam-Will you please tell
me through your columns how to fresh
on up n black silk waist?
MRS. j. II.
Water in which potatoes have been
boiled is said to be very satisfactory
for freshcnng up silk. Spread the
waist on the ironing board and sponge
it with the potato water. letting it
dry before you iron it. Washing it in
gasoline will also make it clean and
fresh Pour a small amount of gaso-
line in a basin and rub the waist in it
for few minutes. Then pour off the
gasoline and rinse the waist in clear
gasoline and hang it out in the air to
dry and throw off tho odOr. BE sure
10 do this very carefully and away from
any light or heat. as gasoline is in
fammablc. Press the waist after il
is entirely dry.

beauty aud charm of manner often
underneath this manner there is a way

TT Is easy for all of MS to remember
L the trying times Of our youthful
days. when our mothers took us 20 the
shops to be fitted out. In those days
there was It'll" or no attention given
to the fitting ont of the little folks and
they were looked upon by the people
in the shops rs Il considerable nuiS
ance. If thOS" days were hardship
for the little ones. they were dOubly
so for the mother. However, with the
progression in Nhopkocping the younger
generation more than gets its share of
the improvements. and it is II peculiar
child indeed who does not look forward
to the trip to the shop for new duds.
While the shops are doing this the
people who make the ready to- wear for
children are Keeping up their part by
turning out garments for the little
ones which certainly are n JOY. Two
Of the newest dresses ar" shown today
and each. as You soc. is entirely diff
f"ront in its type. These are what
might he called dress up frorks.
At the left is model made on the
lines of the chpmse frock. so popular
lust now with the older generation
This dress has a blouse of black velvet
embroidered around the neck. The
lower part of the blouse and the cuffs
are in white to match the plated skirt
which is of white serge
At the right is n short wasted frock
of taffcta. A velvet ribbon is run
through the Sits at the lower part OF
the bodice and forms the sash which
ties at the back. The ncrkline. til,
