In an official announcement issued to the 3,S54 chapters and 22000,00O members, MT Davison says:
 We must labor in cooperation with the National Red Cross and relief so- cteties of other nations to the end that not alone the heart of America. hnt the heart of all mankind, may be- come mobilized on behalf of suffering humanity.
 While, therefore, the plans of the American Red Cross in this direction cannot be formulated specifically in advance of the general relief program of the allied governments. the Ameri- can Red Cross is nevertheless planning to develop is permanent organization in this country upon a scaIe never be fore contemplated in time of peace.
 Study is being given by the na'- tional organization, not alone to prob lens of international relief but to plans in this country for enlarged home service. the promotion of public health education, development of nurs- ing, the care and prevention of acci- dents and other correlated lines which may contribute to the health and hap pnesS of men, women and children

The very next thing that every one thought about. as soon as the noise of the peace jubilee died down, was something new to wear. There was an immediate reaction in the matter of dress, from the ec0nemiziHg that the war inspired, from the rather se- date colors and plain styleS-from do- ing without-to just the other things. Dressmakers are overwhelmed with work and all women with one accord want some new and pretty clothes. This is the most natural feeling in the world since clothes are our uni verSal means of expression and we must dress up to the joyousness of having our victorious soldiers home again.
 Wraps and coats of cloth or fur, or both combined, have been made in q great variety of styles this season Originality in design has been fea- ture of the styles so that new conner among them must be of su- perior quality and very unusual de- sign to meet the high standards al- ready set. Here's a new wrap, a unique combination of coat and cape that invites comparisons. 1t appears to be of | heavy jersey cloth but one can visualize 1t in other soft coatings as veloars or pompon cloth.

Petrarch and Laura.
