Hadrcpor1 is going TO do its bit in trr Italian Orphans Relief drive next week to heal the wounds nor only in the physical beings of those all but starved little children, but to heal their torn hearts and souls This is the genuine belief of Dr. William Horace Day. pastor of the United church who has just returned from four months oEerscas-

 ''We are all going to do our bit for the Italian orDhans,- Dr. Day stated today. "and there are three reasons why we should. First because every true American loves the child and is bound to do everything for him when in need Second. every American should give because he honors valor and sacrifice. Certainly the Italian soldier was va1orous The Italian ma ton was far poorer than all other European nations. She was without the great financial resources of Great Britain and France, without coal. with no steel and still with insudiciqnt food for her needs. she naintaine d her line against the mixed hordes thrown against ner.

REVIVAL OF SEPARATE SKIRT
Garment for Dressy Wear Promises to
Hold Favor According TO FASH
lon Correspondent.

The season is marked by the revival
Of the separate skirt for dressy wear.
Some novel forms Of drapery and loop
ed panels promise to play a prOminentE
part in the autumn skirts, observes a
prominent fashion writer. Lines Of
distinction characterize the models Of
recent importation, and the soft silks
and satins lend themselves gracefully
to the vOluminOus drapery.
The newest skirts are long enough
to cover the boot tops and quite wide
enough for comfort. The widths at
the bottom will vary from a yard and
a quarter to a yard and three-quarters,
with all widths between. Silk and
satin models are inclined to be a bit
wider.
One smart skirt interpreting the
autumn vogue was shown in supple
black satin and pale gray crepe. II
was draped low about the hips, but
in great cascades at the sides. These
Grapes were turned inside out and
faced with the gray crepe. A wide
crushed girdle Of the material
wrapped itself snugIy about the waist.
To complete this skirt, one wears a
lovely blouse Of pale gray geOrgette
embroidered with sparkling Jet beads.
For a pleasing change one might also
choose a bodice Of black satin with
gray trimmings, to harmonic with the
skirt.

FAD FOR KNITTED SWEATERS
Hip-RuffIinq Warmers, the Exclusive
Of Yesterday, Become the Com
monpIaee Of Today.

Only a very few weeks ago there
was a prediction on the part Of those
who were in the vanguard Of fashion
for knitted sweaters that rufiied just
below the waist and showed a sleeve
that was baggy Just above the wrist.
They were worn by the most exclu-
siye, it was said; and at the resorts
you might see them worn by those
who haunted the most expensive no
tells or who dwelt in the most palatial
Of cottages. But nOw-these hip-ruf-
fling sweaters are as common and as
usual as enormous ear horns. Every
other young girl that leaves shop or
Office for her little two weeks yaca-
ton either takes that sort Of sweater
with heE or knits one while she Is
away. And so II is. The exclusive or
yesterday becomes the commonplace
Of today and the commonplace OF to-
day finds its place in the mission box
Of tomorrow.

FASHION CALL FOR PAJAMAS
Garment Gaining Favor for House
Wear Instead Of Room Robes;
Got Over Footlights.

The French fashion for wearing or
nates and brilliantly OlOred pajamas
in the house instead Of room robes
has been taken up in America. The
fashion was exploited by the Stage
and got over the fOOtlights to the,
public.
American women, however, are
adopting the Chinese costume, which
they call by the name Of pajamas.
The loose trousers are laced In to fit
the ankles, and the feet are slipped
into gay Chinese slippers. There IS
short tunic in the Chinese manner,
worn over he full trousers and often
there is a sash in brilliantly-cOlOred
Chinese crepe.
There's not a gulf Of difference fixed
between the modern skirt, with its
vide hips and tight hem, apd the
pajamas with their fullness at the.
hips and their laced ankles. These!
costumes are made in taffeta, crepe
georgette, and heavy white Chinese

FASHIoN NOTES

Many little children aT'ear charm
ing IN pure yellow frOckS.
An oilcloth motor coat in white and
red has three buckled belts.
LCng-haired furs, like monkey and
grny hare, are preferred for trimming.
This trimming is usually applied to
wide-brimnfe,i .rEas and no other or
nament IS employed.
Bead frogs are a novelty that forms
an interesting trimming for chiffon
and other sheer fabrics. They are
frogs Of the regulation shape, formed
OF beads strung and sewed into place.
More and more use Of lace. both as
n trilmlng and in combination as a
fabric, Is noted. The all-lace dress,
blouse and hat are here, but the big
gest acceptance is Of models Of lace
and georgette, or Of lace and net OF
lace and wolfe.

ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL
ASSOCIATION.

New York,-School children all over
the country will take an active part
in the memorial campaign to Theodore
Roosevelt, which Will he held during
the week Of October 2O-27, and which
Will have its elimination on the last
mentioned date, October %. Under
the auspices of the Roosevelt Memoir
ial Association, commemorative exer-
cises are to be held in schools in all
the states, in several of which October
p has already been named by the ed
vocational authorities as Roosevelt
Day."
Roosevelt was particularly the adyO-
cate and friend of children. 1t was
but natural that his lifelong interest
and zest in games and outdoor sports
of all kinds, his fame in great hunt
ing exploits, his active participation
in one of our foreign wars, and his
picturesque and foreeful personality
should have made him a appealing fig
ure to American youth. To millions
of boys and girls in this country he
was a hero.
In arranging for the commemorative
exercises in the schoOls-puble, Pri-
vate and paroehial-it is particularly
the purpose of the Roosevelt Memorial
Association TO perpetuate the insPira-
ton and stimulus of his life upon the
lives of the boys and girls of the
United States, to impress on them the
example of his characteristic fearless
ness, sense Of humOr and fair play,
his aggressive righteousness, and his
intense love of country, and to inspire
in them the desire to emulate his
standards of life and conduct.
To further this aim, copies Of a
booklet containing a biographical
sketch of Colonel Roosevelt, together
with a number of brief excerpts from
his writings and addresses, will be dis
tributed to the pupils. Chapters from
dis books, characteristic stories Of him
and addresses of his having speeia.
appeal to children will be read b!
teachers and pupils in the eOnlmemOr
alive exercises.
Those pupils who wish may eOntri
butte to the fund for the permanent
memorials which is being raised BY
the Association. To every school max
ing a contribution to the fund, NJ
matter how large or small the amount
