Dressed to XIII In "sheII-cIoth."

Shell-c1oth is the name of a new
fabric being manufactured In Eng.
land. The stuff is a fine serge and an
essential part of ~projectiles.
And now that the war is over the
stuff Is going into the making OF
clothes instead of shells, says the
Philadelphia North American. II
ought to make "staggeringly" good
looking clothes, don't you think? One
woman might say quite truly to an
other: ooh, my dear. she was dressed
to kill, all in shellcloth."
Or, on the other hand, what clever
opportunity for the feminine cat tt
say that her dear enemy has "shock'
ing taste in the matter Of clothes!"

The stars are most promising for

HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY. JUNE II, 1919.

THIS is a fortunate day, according to
l astrclogy. Uranus and Venus
rule strongly for good.
Nhe stars smile on romance during
this sway and all love affairs are
believed to be happily directed while
1t prevails.
It is a lucky time to meet new
friends or to renew association with
old ones.
Weddings are subject to the best
possible planetary government under
this rule, which makes for congenial
companionship. constancy and long
life.
Engagements made today should be
exceptionally lucky. since the stars
forecast prosperity, congeniality and
general good fortune.
The planetary rule seems to presage
a clearing of doubts and misgivings
from the human mind and the gradual
acceptance Of new conditions of life.
Hotels should benefit greatly from
conditions as they. are foreseen today.

THE THREE CROSSES

The iron cross is black as death and
hard as human hate;
The wooden cross is white ana sun
and whispers US, TOO Late,
But the Red Cross sings of life and
love and hearts regenerate.
The iron cross is a boastful cross and
marks the warmad slave;
The wooden cross is dumb deaa
cross and marks shallow grave
But the Red Cross reaches out its
arms to solace and to save.
The iron cross is a kaiser's cross and
narrow is its clan;
The wooden cross is soldiers cross
and mourns its partisan,
But the Red Cross is the Cross OF one
who served his fellowman.

The appreciation of the soldiers for
the manner in which the "Y" treated
them during their stay, was expressed
graphically by one soldier, who said:
~ take off nv hat to the Red Cross
and the Y. M. C. A. / don't know
how we could get along without
them"
