Children, ? story you want to hear?
Well, sit by file tire and get near my
chair. .
This story my deaTtfT is sad to>relate,
Is about a i>oor soldier boy, who was
not heli>ed by fate.
This boy, a young brown eyed fellow
was he '
And was as happy as happy could
be.
Sitting so quietly in a store down
town
When here comes some ladles to take
him down.
Up the street this young lad had to
go.
Whether he really wanted or no. ?
Now. children what do you think?
To bed this lad was put in a wink
Ajid dont you know he was now at
a loss -- -
To see standing near, a nurse with a
Red Cross.
His head was all bandaged you see
And his leg was removed as far as
the knee
His arm was broken aud put in a
sling
Now, was not that a pitiful thing?
But worst of all my dears to hear
Is that near this lad and right on the
chair
A box was placed to help him out
Jly putting in money ? for he was a
good scout
And after a whole night had passed
The box was opened but my alas!
Out came one dollar and cents forty
Are.
H??w -eottW a poor s*4dier on -wttCb a
pittance thrive.
Oh, children don't you think It an
awful blow
To treat such a sweet helpless lad so?
So let us aU give regardless of cost
And give mighty liberally to our
dear Red Cross.

Edith Evans of Humter, and Mrs. W.
II. Zelgler, of Newbery. spent the week

The "Lit lit* Drws" for .Morning or Af

Now York. Nov. I'd.-? Somehow the
picture of 1'aris, wartime 1'arin, is Just
an fascinating an It wan in times of
l>eaoe. The spirit of the French peo
ple Is a* groat as over; gaiety, and the
determination to l>c ??>'. In In the very
air. They are still designing wonder
ful things "over there" and we are get
ting the I km i WW of them as of old.
The latest news contains much talk
of "the little dress." The term is quite
descriptive, too, of this type of frock
Simplicity, drummed into our ears for
so long that we are fairly sick of the
word, lurks in every fold. Cunningly
designed these frocks are. for they
make a little material and trimming go
a long way. Some are one-piece, others
simulate tlw one-piece dress; and still
others belong to the tunic family, ever
growing in popularity. A simple collar
nnd cuff set. a touch of embroidery in
? McCall
Dignity- in the "Little Dress"
(lie same or a contrasting shade, bul
toiiH or a bit of fur. any of thes?; ma.v
net as trimming. It is impossible to
way where the line is to I ??? drawn, say
ing. "this is for morning. and 1 1 1 i for
afternoon," *
One hears a great deal about the
panel* dress; it is particularly good for
combinations of materials and colors;
though made of one material, it is
very smart indeed. The dress has a
panel front and back, with straight
pleated side sections, ami the natural
waistline may l>e defined by a belt, two
In'lts or a girdle. The one illustrated
he?e is of brown wool-mixture, with a
novel collar of chamois and a yellow
kid Iwlt. An odd conceit df a well
known designer is to leave the pleats
impressed, thus giving a softer appear
ance than would otherwise he |>ossihlc-.
There is an unusual fact about ma
terials that very few women realize or
take into account when planning a new
costume, and this is that the style
changes in regard to dress goods. It
is absolutely impossible to make a
stift' perky bustle out of soft crepe de
Chine or Georgette crej>e (unless some
stiffening l>e used) and the straight
silhoutte drcHses must he made of soft
material : and full skirts that stand
out, puffed sleeves, bustles, and so
fprth, require taffeta, tulle or some
other material with "body" to it.
Styles do change materials. The first
value of a material is it* wearing
quality ; for, after all, the material
that wears well Is always hamlsomer
and makes up .better than any other.
Serge is ever a stand-by. gabardine,
broadcloth and wool mixtures rarely go
"out of Style." The silk goods styles
change more quickly, and one year ev
erything must be made of taffeta, and
the next of charmeuse or soft satin.
Study the silhoutte of the mode with
intelligence, and', you cannot go far
wrong as to the material to he used.
