The most popular Easter Sunday
dress in Serbia is a cast-off American
ball gown, vintage 1914-17.
"The clothes we buy and the clothes
we give away-what contrast"
said Miss Helen Losanitch, daughter
of a member of the Serbian ministry,
who recently arrived in America to aid
the work of the National Birthday
Committee, Serbian Child Welfare As
sociation, No. West Eighth street,
New York.
While in New York women glide into
their Fifth avenue pews gowned in the
heighth of fashion many of them will
not know that far off in Serbia women
of smaller stature, grown weak and
emacipated from war conditions, will
solemnly seek the throne Of grace clad
in the ball gowns American women
have sent over to them in their hour of
reed. The serbian women will worship
for the most part in the little Greek
orthodox churches remaining in that
country, in the Mohammedan temple
or the Roman Catholic churches still
standing.

Where a Prehistoric
Niagara Flowed

In the course of excavation and the
building of the new Welland Ship
Canal near Thorold, in the southern
section of Ontario, Canada, a buried
Niagara, its laundering waters stilled
countless ages ago, once perhaps as
great in height and volume as the
present falls, has been unearthed. No
record or memories of this long buried
falls remains even in aboriginal ira
dition. When it existed or when it
ceased to exist has not even been
supposed. 1t may have Numbered ir
primeval times before the age of man.
The engineers who partly uncovered
it believe it was the original Niagara
marking the course of paleolithic
river that connected Lake Erie and
Lake Ontario A mighty prehistoric
flood, it is thought, diverted the
course of the stream and buried the
falls and the old river bed level with
the surrounding country
The cataracts edge, so far uncov-
cred. begins at the eastern abutment
of the Niagara, st. Catharines and
Toronto Railways new bridge near
Thorold and extends in southwest
ern direction for 400 feet. The ledge
continues under the earth for an un-
known distance beyond the point at
which the excavation ends. What is
thought to have been the first fall
is in the form of steps, with a total
drop of twenty-five feet. Below it the
excavation has revealed a precipice,
but as to the depth which this wall of
perpendicular rock sinks into the earth
has not yet been determined.
The grave of this buried Niagara
is half a mile from the precipitous
slope of the present Canadian falls.
A deep canyon-like valley, through
which the ship canal passes where
Eighty Mile Greek once flowed in its
way to Lake Ontario, is believed 20
have been the bed of the prehistoric
river which furnished the waters o.
the giant falls their outlet to the sea-.

But despite the material distress,
said Miss Losanitch, "the minds and
hearts of the people are buoyed up
by the prospect of greater national
expansion in the new State of Jugo
Slavia"
| So much indeed is this a fact that
Miss Losanitch reports the changing
of the national independence day of
Serbia, formerly Palm Sunday, to De-
cember list, the day of liberation,
when the advancing Serbian army en-
tered Belgrade in 1919. So great was
the emotion felt ON this occasion, she
says, that the soldiers knelt in the
streets of the city and gave thanks tc
God.
Palm Sunday is still a very i'm
portant day in Serbia. Many national
customs cluster around this date Be-
fore the war it was the custom for
children to go to the river bank and
gather willows, which they carried in
their hands together with church flags
and paraded through the streets.
Now times are changed to such an
extent that there is very little enthu-
siasm for the national formalities.
The daughter of every Serb family
always had complete new outfits on
Palm Sunday, as Americans have usu-
ally on Easter. Today there is such
privation in that country that the
children are compelled to go naked,
wandering in the woods, suffering
cold, hunger and fatigue.
Upon the reoccupation of Belgrade,
and as a celebration of the event,
great ball was held in the Prince Re
gents Palace. The women made q
pitiful picture dressed in the clothes
they had before the war. There were
so few dishes remaining in the palace
that refreshments had to be served
in relays. The old dresses, the scar
city of men, for Serbia lost more than
100000, or one-fourth of her popula-
ton, in the war, the battered furniture
that showed signs of the enemy's oc-
cupation of the city, the faces of the
women-tragic, old, almost crushed
yet trying to be gait was sad
sight"
With Mrs Oliver Hartman, ma
tional chairman of godmothers, the
birthday committee of the Serbian
Child Welfare Association is receiving
the cooperation of many women of
New York City and in fact of the cour-
try, who are uniting not only to send
Serbias women something more sub
stantial in the way of help than ball
gowns, but to adopt" an orphan for
each hour of the day, each day in the
week, each month in the year and so
on-in a cycle plan worked out by Mrs.
Hartman and her committee.

Bandboxes have always been a nee
essary part of woman's wardrobe in
pedimenta From those of long ago,
those that were neatly covered with
wall paper, generally selected from
that used on the guest room wall, to
those of modern days, rejoicing in
coverings of brocaded silk finished
with gold braid and cords, or EN-
broidered velvet, bandboxes have al

Household Hints

A pretty bag of cFetonne in a soft,
misty blue effect is long, rather than
broad, like so many knitting bags.
The curious part of it is the top is
attached to the frame like that of
a purse, fastening with clasp. The
bag is made of two good-sized squares
of the cretonne and the frame, which
is rather larger than that of most
purses, is fastened to the bag across
one corner. Or, rather, one corner
of the bag is cut so that it will fit
when shirred upon the frame Per
haps that is better way of describing
it. 1t is very easily made, and this
top frame, accomplishes one excellent
thing-it prevents needles from stray
ing away, as they do sometimes when
really is a relief to know that ones
needles are right with ones work
when they are needed.
If you do not like the odor of boil
ing cabbage, burn ground cinnamon
on the top of the stove and you will
have an agreeable aroma in the room
If you have a garden, try cooking
Swiss chard, beet tops and onion tops
together and serving them as spinach.
The onion tops give the cooked greens
a delicious flavor.
An easy way to put the required
hole in the machine strap is to heat a
long pima hatpin will answer the
purpose nicely-until it is red hot.
You will then have no difficulty in
piercing the strap.

Serbian Women Glad to
Get Cast Off Finery

There is no god of fashion in Serbia
today Ball gowns, Irrespective of
vintage, have been received in that
country with rejoicing.
Il have seen little children coming
to our clinics and institute for medical
help dressed in the blue chiffoned,
beribboned and befurbelowed bali
gowns they received from America, "

cold weather-snow on the ground.
For the most part the chiIdren's feet
were bare and they trailed the faded
fnery behind them coming to the
clinics.
Chiffon is not very warm for the
Serbian winter weather, which cor
responds fairly well with Boston'a
winter, but even chiffon is welcome
in country where war has crippled
all the industries and where the wo-
men are wearing today the clothes
they had seven years ago They have
had none since, for you must remem.
Der that Serbia entered into the world
war after two years of fighting in the
Balkans.

NEW HAT PROBLEM

boxes when closed, the locks being
placed on the moulding over the cen
ter boxes at either side. When in
position this arrangement locked the
six hatboxes securely.
On the heater below the shelves
were two two-inch tall brass standards
with padded tops such as miliners use,
which were fastened securely to the
radiator. These hat rests were de-
signed to use to dry wet feathers
or for general emergency use.
In addition to this complete ar
rangement, two separate boxes were
made of very light wood in regula-
ton sizes, having hinged tops with
brass side handles and cover locks.

the owners initials stencilled in white

Anyone may have a convenience of
this kind The expense is not large.

and painted the closets herself, which

Each woman may plan her closet

The comfort and pleasure derived from
such a bandbox closet is well worth
the outlay The closet is also a dis
tinct economy as the hats are kept
dust free and in shapely way.

A New Way to Embroider
Outline and chainstitch embroidery
is used on heavy and thin dress ma
terial. The latter invariably has 4
puckered appearance if done in the
usual way. To prevent this, crochet
a chain from the silk or wool en-
broidery thread and sew it on the &c
sign with a fine needle, being care
full not to draw the sewing thread.
Thismethod can be used on silk or
wool. 1t is effective and can be done
in one-half the time.
Uses for Adhesive Tape
A good way to keep rubbers from
splitting down the side is to put d
piece of adhesive plaster on inside.
This makes them stronger You can
also mend a tear in your silk dress
by pressing edges together and putting
adhesive plaster on underside

filing, l take four or five strong
toothpicks and fasten the skin to-

trouble than the old way of sewing
and holds together just the same.
Separate Collars and Cuffs
When making wash dresses for the
children, make all the white collars
and cuffs detachable, fastening them
on with snaps. They can be easily
removed and Numbered several times
before the dress needs to be washed
This plan also prevents the color run
ming from the dress into the collar and
cuffs.
