C. von Tresckow was appoint ed Treasurer pro tern. The members Qf the Chapter made a contribution of -one dollar each to the next Liberty Loan, for wliicb the National Society will give $100,000.00. They also made a contribution of 50 cents i>er mem!>er toward tlie $50,000.00 to be given by the National Society to restore a vil lage in France. This last is not a matter of sentiment to restore the lost beauty and buildings of historic inter est in tihris stricken French village, but to give shelter, furnish farm im plements, and moke life possible for the wretched inhabitants who have lost every thing by, this cruel war. The Daughters of the American Revolution are responding nobly to every call of their "country, and to every cry of dis tressed humanity. Tfaey are proving themselves worthy of the glorious his tory made by their sires, though they are not "ancestral worshipers" as same one. has said for 'They that on glorious ancestors enlarge, Produce their debt instead of their .discharge.''

Then4 are so many ways \se oan save material, even in the mere elaborate afternoon costume. Navy braid is l>elng used a groat deal to bind the edges of the beige sorgo & Mr Caul Where Bordered Material Acts as Trimming or gaiibadlne suit, thus .saving t I*o material that would otherwise have to he turned under and hemmed. Sur prising, isn't It, the little things that count? And yet, when * one sees ? suit braid bound, all one thinks is, "Oh, how very smart." It is only the very few who realize the hidden motive of this fashion. Deep hems are fast being put into the discard. They are unnecessary, so why have them? The big pocket, has almost van ished from the separate coat. Then- are two sides to the question of the suit veraus the coat and dress. The coat may be worn with many dif ferent dresses, silk or cotton, but the suit. does not take as much wool in the first place as the coat and sepcrate dress of wool. There is one absolutely certain thing; styles arc very, very simple. And they are practical too. What could be more fetching than the ljttlc dress illustrat ed here? And It certainly is simple and practical. There are two mater ials used, (plflfin and bordered, and when one says that, it. is the last word in fashions. Of course there is no trimming ? where would one put it? The waist has one of those smart bo leros. with a straight lower edge, mak ing it practical for the. bordered gi>ods. The crushed girdle -is cut in one with the front, panel, and can be tied in a bow in the back, or .fastened with buttons. The lower <Mlgc of the tunic is also straight, so here again the bordered material may be used very nicely. ( , The latest hows from Paris says that the crowns of the Spring hats will bo much lower, tiluit the poke tyi>e is to 1h> much feaured, and that dowers and feathers will he much used. The Eas ter linnet will bo a most deceiving tiling. At first glance, It appears un t rimmed, and then you discover a tiny huncli of flowers here or a wing there, until you come ? to the conclu sion that it is a much-trimmed affair! The colors, too. will Iks gay and Spring like. There is not the donning of straw hats this year that there usually is, though of course there are many to be seen. These warm days are bring ing thnm out overnight, like mush rooms. The Chain of Prayer. 1 cast the stitches on with care, I purl, and every purl a prayer For my brave lad across the sea, Oh bring him back, dear LDord to me! The thread around my Angers twine . So, like tiie tendrils of a vine My heart clings round a stalwart form O, keep him safe dear J?rd from harm ! The coals glow red within the grate ? And through the bars I see as through a sate_ Our l?oy? come up "over tho top" And forward go to meet the foe! Through veil of liquid Are' and burst ing shell They pass as through the gates of hell ! I close my eyes in awful agony, ^ Who. now, can save, O I,ord but Thee? The knitting needles fall from out my grasp My trembling, helpless hands I clasp. O. God, whatever be his lot "I^et me be still ondt.'m^.rmer not !" 4 Thus day by day my work of love goes on, From morning light until the day is gone, i And ever, for our soklier boys so dear With cveiy stitch I weave a chain of [" . prayer. -JC.
