American Nurses Ignore PerIls

faIfa-American Commission for
Relief Is Doing Great Work
in the Near East.

Constantinople, Turkey. Two
American nurses, Miss Margaret Mack
of Hillburn, N. Y, and Miss Ruth
Stuart of New York city, working for
the American commission for relief in
the near East, declined to abandon the
sick and wounded at Shusha, Armenia,
after having themselves survived a
massacre by Tartars of 700 of the
Christian inhabitants of the town, ac-
cording to letter just received here
by Mai. David G.. Arnold of Provi-
dence, r. l., director of the commits
sion.
"Our doctor and nurses were in the
midst of the fight, but were unharm-
ed" says the letter. ION advice from
General Beach I recalled the two
nurses. They came reluctantly as
there was an urgent need for them
among the survivors. The spirit Miss
Mack and Miss Sturant have shown
has been splendid and felt that they
should be allowed to return If they
went as volunteers. They signed pa
pers to the effect that they knew the
danger and that they were returning
to their work at their own request"
Mendine Magnetos With Thread.
A humorous touch to an otherwise
tragic situation is related by relief
worker at Oulou Kishla, who writes:
1.-THE men working out from Oulou
Kishla are covering a large territory
and obtaining large experience. Their
chief outdoor sport is lodging camel
trains and leaping culverts. Coaxing
the missing spark plug from its hiding
place vies with mending magnetos with
thread as the chief form of recreation.
1t is a rule that after the explosion of
the twelfth tire each day the flivver
knocks off and its riders camp for the
night, sharing their pillows with any
rowing dromedary in the vicinity, and
giving a treat to the predatory mos
quitoes. There is warm box car in

The commission has lost three menu
bers by death, Paul D. Pelter of New
York city, the Rev. r. S. NJ. Emerich
and Miss Edith NJ. Winchester of Phil

Starving Children Die Daily.
Just before her death Miss Winches-
ter in letter from Tiflis wrote: 1.-The
sights about us are heartrending. A
refuge two blocks from our Office yes
terday fed 1900 starving children. We
are feeding them once day. And
once a day the cart goes around TO
collect the eight or ten little corpses
that have accumulated. Refugees are
eating grass and alfalfa. The alfalfa
they eat raw; one can always see
children nibbling it."
From Batoum comes word that
there are 10000 Greek refugees
back of the city who are gradually
being pushed out by the Russians.
Thousands are fed at an American
soup kitchen. Adana has 1900 refu-
gees and $4,000 more are in nearby

But bags and purses account for
more yards of magnificent ribbon than
other accessories. Between now and
Christmas there viii be lively BUSH
ness at the ribbon counter where
mountings for bags are sold along
with the ribbon to make them. In
the picture above purse and bag
are shown. The long purse is black
satin brocaded in silver. And the Bag
is in brilliant eolors striped with
black, mounted on a black celluloid
frame.
The story of plain satin ribbons, for
little bags and numberless other
trides that women love, is much long
er than that of the splendid brocades.
There are innumerable trinkets made
Of ribbon. A little face powder bag
of satin ribbon is shown in the picture
1t has small round mirror in the bot
tom and narrow satin ribbon handles
that draw up and close the top. It
serves to carry small box Of powder
and convenient puff.
Hair ribbons for little girls are
shown in many pretty striped vari-
cites and taffeta remains the favorite
for hair bows, which with bags, keep
gay stream of ribbons flowing over
the ribbon counter.

The goddess of the looms must have
fingered about American silk mills

seasons ribbons. And she was In a
happy and opulent mood, for the ut
most in weaving has blossomed in
ribbons that are all the way from gny
to gorgeous. The richness of au-
tumn's colorful days, with sunshine
and moonshine, all are reflected in
brocaded ribbons heavy with gold and
silver threads and very brilliant in
sheen and color. So much beauty
lures one away from the considera-
ton of its price which is very high
But only small quantities OF the
most gorgeous ribbons appear in any
apparel or dress accessories, except
for evening dresses In these wide
metal-braided ribbons are used with
some generosity. Mostly the wide and
brilliant ribbons are used for making
shopping bags and purses, in the
crowns of hats or in sashes on hats
and for vests in dresses and suits. In
evening dresses of tulle or crepe or
lace they make brilliant panels or
girdles and occasionally a handsome
afternoon frock looks to them for
a touch of splendor in the girdle.

water. Make a sirup of four pounds
of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of ground
cinnamon, one teaspoonful of ground
cloves and two quarts of vinegar. Tie
the spices in bag. Pour the hot strip
over the drained melon rind let stand
"a hours. Reheat the strip four morn
ings, then cover for winter use.
Tomatoes canned.-Take one gallon
of water, one cupful of salt, and bring
to the boiling point, then drop in whole
tomatoes, previously peeled, and cook
until we'll scalded through. Place In
cans, using a skinner to drain off the
brine. The juice of the tomatoes will
make liquid enough to cover them, and
the brine may be used for any number
of tomatoes.
Nut conserve-Take two pints of
grape juice, two pounds of sugar, four
oranges sliced thin, the juice and graf
ed rind of a lemon, one and one-third
pounds of chopped raisins, two-thirds
of a pound of chopped walnuts. one
fourth of a pound of chopped filberts.
Dissolve the sugar in the juice, add
the other ingredients and simmer for
one hour, or until d thick marmalade
is formed.
Picked Onions.-Select small silver
skinseSs onions; put them in a brine,
after peeling carefully. Let stand
three days in a brine that will float an
egg. Drain and place in a Jar, first a
layer of onions three inches deep, then
a layer of horseradish, sprinkling of
cinnamon, cloves and cayenne or, bet
ter, chopped red pepper; repeat until
the jar is full. Cover with vinegar,
brought to the boiling point; add one
cupful of brown sugar to quart Of
the vinegar. Pour hot over the onions,
and seal.

IN WILD FRENZY
TO GET SHOES


shoes several hours before the sched-
uled time arrived.
Impotence on the part of the
crowds caused, in most cases, the sum-
mary seizure of goods and the resort
to ransacking. Food stores were
treated first in this way. but the law
lessness soon spread to clothing and
>shoeshops. Stores ransacked would
be depleted of every eommodity-eat
able, wearable or portable. There
were examples in Spezia of carrying
out all the commodities, loading them
in a motor truck and taking them
some four or five miles outside the
city for distribution. Whole hogs
heads of wine were rolled out of the
city in this way and distributed.
1t seemed as if the mob had desig-
mated for them the stores to be loot
ed. There was apparently the most
systematic pillaging of those accused
of war profiteering. Merchants
known to have violated government
tai regulations by selling prohibited
articles during the war were treated
in the same way.
Soldiers sent to restore order in
some cases were charged with accept
ing gifts from the rioters and at other
times filling their pockets with eat
ables, including biscuits, fruit. nuts
and chocolate.

arbitrary communicating and fixing

A stroll through establishments,
whose styles we know to be authorita-
tive soon verifies the assertion made
by manufacturers that tailored suits
are growing fancier. That is the first
Impression to be gathered from almost
any display. But one must not draw
conclusions too quickly. 1t has come
to the place where there are several
distinct types of the tailored suit, in
Guiding the knock-about suit, the walk
ing suit and the promenade suit (Which
must be another name for what we
have known as the formal suit) The
knock-about and walking suits will
please those who are welded to severe
tailor-made, while promenade and
formal suits are for those who like
departures from this type.
Probably the influence of French
ideas has promoted the success of the
fancier tailored suits, for the severe
type has never been favorite with
Paris. Where there is no place for q
CAV or frivolous or dainty touch to APP
parel. French designers seem to feel
hampered; they do not like the type
of suit that attends strictly TO the
business of being practical and well
made. They delight in unexpected lit
tie decorative touches that have no
reason for existing. except TO be in
teresting and good looking.
All the new glove finish fabrics-and
their name is legion-=promote the
cause of fancier suits. Duvetyn,
velours, duvet and their like, are very
soft with surfaces that vary, but are
never hard. Close behind them trico-

A rubber plant should be washed
with milk once or twice a month. This
will keep the leaves glossy and hand
some.
Save the discarded tooth-brushes
and old underwear for cleaning and
polishing silver. A clean, dry brush Is
the best kind of cleaner to brush the
whiting from chased silver. Use the
soft underwear for the hard rubbing,
and finish the polishing with cham
Dis skin.
If silver is rubbed after soapy bath
with chamois skin, once a week, the
hard cleaning will not need to be done
SO often.
The French way Of making tough
meat tender is one worth remember
Ing: Lay the steak In a marinade of
three tablespoonful of olive oil and
one and one-half of vinegar; let stand
four hours ON ice, turning frequently
to be sure that both sides are treated
then broil as usual.
When cooking a pudding either by
steam or in boiling water, take care
to replenish the water by boiling water,
or the pudding will fall or be soggy.
A cut lemon dipped in salt or bath
brick makes a fine cleaner for copper
or brass. 1t is also good to remove
stains from the coffee and tea pots.
A nice laundry bag may be made of
two bordered towels, using a draw
string at the top. For holding scraps
and pieces, circular bag, which may
be laid out fiat on the floor will be
found convenient, as then any bundle
can be quickly found.
A good tonic which may be brewed
at home is sassafras tea. This is an
| old remedy used by our grandmothers,
and one which is perfectly reliable.
Steep a small handful of sassafras
root by covering with quart Of boil
ing water. Strain and drink half a
cupful night and morning. 1t purifies
the blood and acts as tonic.

dressing; then a simple dessert, like
musk melon, peaches and cream with
cooky, or small sponge cake with
dish of sliced bananas.
A good dish which will make a main
dish and is very filling is:
Goldfish ChoWder.-Cut in dice q
quarter of a pound of salt pork fry
until brown, then add three to six
sliced onions; stir and cook until light
colored; add twice the amount of
sliced potatoes, and water to cover ;
cook until the vegetables are soft, then
add a haif-pound of shredded and par
boiled Goldfish, half-dozen milk crack
ers which have been softened by pour
Ing boiling water over them, q quart
of milk and salt and pepper to taste.
Serve in bowls, very hot, with a
cracker on top of each. Fresh fish may
be used in this chowder. Add the fish,
cooked until tender, or it may be add
ed about twenty minutes before the
dish is ready to serve. Too long cook
ing of the fish will make it tasteless.
Corn and Rice Muffins.-Take two
cupfuls of buttermilk. one cupful of
cornmeal, one teaspoonful of soda, a
pinch of salt, half cupful of cream
and half a cupful of boiled rice. Mash
the rice; add a pinch of salt, and the
cream, an egg well beaten and the but
termilk mixed with the soda, then the
neal. Bake in buttered muffin tins in
a quick oven.
Banana Puffs.-Take one cupful of
sugar, a tablespoonful of butter, one
cupful of flour. teaspoonful of bak-
ing powder, three well beaten eggs
and milk to make drop batter-about
O quarter of cupful. Mix and stir in
three sliced bananas and fill buttered
custard cups; steam one hour and
serve with a lemon sauce.
Lemon Sauce.-Take half a cupful
Of sugar, the juice and rind Of lemon,
q tablespoonful of butter and a quar-
ter of a cupful of water; cook until
soft, adding an egg, well beaten, by
pouring the cooked mixture over the
egg, stirring constantly. Serve hot.

tine and gabardine lend themselves to
promenade suits by their texture A
fine example in a tricotine model for
fall and winter wear is shown in the
accompanying picture. 1t shows al
legiance to the last DEGREES for longer
skirts and coats and presents odd en-
placements of material on the skirt
and coat, with braid, buttons, and but
tonholes cleverly managed to elaborate
both. The collar is unusual with
straight revers that extend over the
shoulder and widen at the back into
a small square cape. The coat is open
TO the waistline at the front, making
plenty of opportunity for fancy
blouse or vestee. The choker of fur is
a separate affair The choker collar
is everywhere present, but is often
convertible and is either of fur or fur
fabric or of the material in the suit.
Belts are narrow and may be taken
off so that the suit is worn with or
without them. Occasionally a suit is
shown with two belts, one of the fab
ric and one of leather. Not all coats
are long. There are those OF the short
ripple variety that seem TO be liked
best in the dressier suits. Their bodies
are semiftted. Sleeves are long and
plain with occasional narrow turned
back cuffs for small pointed fare.
and skirts are ankle length and only
moderately narrow, the hobble variety
never having achieved success among
smartly-dressed women.

Florence, Italy.-If Dante Alighieri
lived in Florence today he might be
inspired to write another Inferno"
with shoes as the prime cause of evil.
Nothing has been so evident during
these postwar days as the need of
Italians for footwear.
The recent public demonstrations
backed by the Camera del Lavoro, or
chambers of labor" where stocks of
goods of all descriptions in the hands
of profiteers in many cities were COM
mandeered and ordered sold at reduced
prices, precipitated unusual somer-
saults of trade, but the widest scram-
bles were in the shoe stores. Here
the demand for shoes produced scenes
of the widest disorder.
Frenzy Over Footwear.
In Rome, Milan, Forli, Bologna and
Naples the search for shoes continued
many days. The struggles in each
city were so great that few law
abiding persons tried to secure shoes.
There appeared to be no attempt at
fitting anyone. Shoes were handed
out in boxes and the buyers took
them, seemingly not caring whether
they fitted or not just so they were
on the basis of 80 per cent re-
duction in price. 1t was common
sight to see a man loaded up with
shoes for his entire family.

fish that will be improved in flavor by
stuffing, or the addition Of many sea
sonings. The charm of any dish Is to
keep its characteristic flavor, accen-
tuating it, not covering it with season
ings. The old-fashioned method of
stuffing all kinds of fowl and game is
no longer considered desirable by the
best diners.
Duck may be improved by the addi-
ton of an onion, bunch of celery or,
as some Southern cooks do, put an
oyster in small bird before broiling
or baking.
Wild game that lacks fat is some
times wrapped in slices of bacon,
fastening them with toothpicks if the
bird is small, or placing slice over
the breast of a large bird.
For the small birds a nicely toasted
square of bread Is the best pedestal
on which to place the tiny morseI of
righteousness. The toast should al
ways be well buttered and soft, with
the crusts removed. Water cress is
one of the incest of garnishes, and a
salad of sliced oranges on water cress
served with French dressing is the
salad par excellence to serve with
duck.
Those acquainted with only the cul-
tivated mushroom do not realize the
rare flavor of the field variety. They
are found in abundance until the frost

them in the market, gathered by some
