One Of the most interesting
volunteer activities to come to
this writer's attention Is the work
Of pretty young Henrietta Sharon.
Miss sharon. who likes to Illus
trate ana mas q rev books to her
credit, had the idea late In the
summer that she would like to
60 to the naval hospitals in the
New York area and entertain the
boys by sketching their photo
graphs. Her idea met with slight
encouragement until she finally
contacted the Navy directly
through its once Of welfare and
recreation for the Sd Naval Dis
trict.
Being known personally to one
of the officers there. she found
him willing to cooperate and to
get the necessary permission to
give the idea q trial, and so ac-
cording to her diary, she invited
two other well-known illustrators
to cooperate with her. They ac-
cepted and the three under tina
escort OF 1t. Robert Heininger,
U. s. N. R., went to the Brooklyn
Naval Hospital.
The two Observation-Disclosures
Hirschfield of the New York
Times and Barney Toby, a
free lance-werc not known per-
sonally to Miss Sharon. She
merely wanted good artists with
whom to develop the idea, and it
took only a single telephone con-
versation to get the enthusiastic
acceptance OF these men.
That first visit was to be a trial,
but it proved so successful that

frequency of her visits have

grown until now each week she
takes with her a staff Of six or
seven artists and goes not only to
the Brooklyn Naval Hospital but
to the st. Adams Hospital on
Long Island. The work they are
doing has proved Of unimagined
therapeutic value.
Two of Miss Sharon's most
faithful assistants have been the
well-known illustrators Wallace
Morgan. who was an official ar
tist with the AEF In the last war,
and Willard Fairchild. The
sketches made OF the boys are
given to them to send home to
their sweethearts and mothers.
In an evening the artists are able
to sketch about so men. Always
there Is an eager line waiting for
the next week.
The value Of the work this vol
unteer group is doing is best il
lustrated in a few poignant par
agraphs in the diary of Miss
Sharon. On September 8 she
wrote: Last Thursday night was
my third visit to the hospital. !. {.
That night I sketched in the psy-
copathic ward, where they have
the war neurosis cases. The re-
ception was not quite as warm
as in the other wards. Some
boys were sitting staring into
space, some were making belts on
little hand looms. some were ly-
ing with their arms across their
faces. They regarded me with
Indifferent eyes.
THE boy I sketched first was
passive. He didn't care whether
I drew him or not. I learned
later that he was from Tennessee,

In my opinion the double
visiting card is an extra ca I'd
rather than one of necessity.
This is in answer to the Army
bride who asks: do you think
my husband "a captain and
must have double visiting cards?
Or will his own cards and my
new ones be enough?"
In further answer, a double
card is useful only on the rare
occasions of making formal
calls" or of sending with wedding
presents, or making birth an
nouncement. BY and by-in
peacetime - the double cards
might perhaps be convenient for
invitations to teas, or buffet par
ties given by you both. The point
to make is that your husband
must have cards of his own, and
you also will usually use your
card. 1t would be absurd to have
to cross off Captain and every
time you leave or send or write
message of your own.

Caring for Gift Blooms

3 SO you did receive some lovely
flowers and plants this Christ
mas from perhaps daughter, hub
by or a close friend! We were
certain you would, for the Sc
lection has been lovely, and then,
too, there was less congestion in
the florist shops than around the
cosmetic and lingerie counters in
the large stores and specially
shops. Now the problem of keep
ing the blooms throughout the
holiday week is facing you, and
few pointers on this subject is
mighty timely.
We hope when you were ar
ranging your cut flowers yester-
day that you did not submerge
any more leaves than was abso-
lutely necessary. II so, please
remedy this Immediately, for they
soon will decay, and that induces
willing. Also the water should
not be too cold. A few friends
OF ours seem to think that unless
the water is about freezing fow-
ers will die quickly, but this GER
tainly is a mistaken idea, for the
water, for most blooms, should
be about room temperature.
Magazine and newspaper ar
ticles, along with the grape
vine" have from time to time
suggested the use of aspirin, salt,
sugar and various mild chem
icals to prolong the life of the
flowers. This information is use
less and unnecessary to practice.
However. each day, the ends Of
the flower stalks should be cut,
as the old end heals and prevents
the intake OF water.
When cutting, use a very sharp
knife and slice the stem diagon-
ally. Do not use scissors that
squeeze the stem and shorten
the life of the flower. Imme-
diately after cutting, plunge each
stem into water. Another thing,
add water from time to time as
needed to allow for evaporation.
When changing the water try
not to expose the stem end to
the air longer than necessary, for

Of this type plant, for it Is very
bad for them.
Ferns and foliage plants need
a cooler atmosphere and not
much sunlight. Their habits are
quite different from the blossom
ing plants. They like to be
sprayed with water. as they drink
through the leaves as well as the
roots.
Poinsettias, the outstanding
Christmas selection, need special
care. You should never permit
water to touch the leaves or the
blossoms and they should be
placed where they cannot be
brushed or bumped, Every other
day, place the pot In bucket of

soughly soaked. The soil should
. be moist at all times.

II am going TO q formal dance
next week where would like
to look my best. Since shall
probably have no need for
long dinner dress until next sum-
mer, I hate to spent money on
a new long dress. Would be
out of place at formal dance
in a short dress-or is there any
kind OF evening dress that
could wear both winter and
summer?"-Miss H. A. 8.
Answering your last question
first. you'd be much happier at
formal dance in a long dress than
a short one. Aside from the fact
that a formal dance calls for a
long skirt, most gals definitely
look better dancing in long
dresses. A rayon chiffon dress
would be the prettiest answer to
your problem that we can think
of-and 1t has the added advan-
tage of being right the year
round. Chiffon has a Way Of
molding into the most fiattering
bodice-and the fluidity of a
chiffon skirt makes every girl
look like a goddess. So we'd sug-
gest that you buy yourself the
prettiest chiffon dress you can
find, wear it for your Big Party
next week and then have it in
readiness for next summers cal
endar.
There's been lot of talk about
evening sweaters. Would you
mind telling me whether you
think they're really suitable for
evening wear?"-Mrs. r. H. B.
Ever since Mainbocher launched
the glittering evening sweater,
they've been favorites of
ours. This year-with houses not
so warm-they're Fighter" than
ever. Don't let the word Sweat
er" fool you; these evening top
pers can pack a hard glamour
punch. Some of them have
flashes of glitter, while the newer
versions have deep drawstring
necklines. Either way, an eve
ming sweater and dinner skirt is
one of the smartest versions Of
the "two-piece look"

quested to wear formal clothes.
{ ! have a very pretty dark green

thermore, I don't feel that I can

"outs" for your particular predic-
ament. First is to substitute q
top for the one already on your
dress-perhaps a soft rayon jer-
sey either matching or contrast
ing, However, If it were our
dress, we'd cut off the offending
top, put the skirt on a band and
have a fine separate dinner skirt
to team with various blouses.
Nicest with your skirt would be a
perfectly plain pull-on you
know, the round-necked, un-
adorned variety Of rayon jersey

Cutlery.
There are also very nice fitted
evening jackets that give a smart
tiny top to your velveteen stand
out skirt. Some of these are
made dressy with gold braid;
others have sequins or beads.
When it comes to color, be very
conservative-or else have a fling.
There is no middle of the road
on color. In other words, match
your top to your dark green
skirt-or else go wild with Won
derful shade of pink or gold;
chartreuse would be good, too,
for giving the stag line a jolt.
