Blouses of Chiffon The sketch illustrates a blouse of chiifonniade to the worn out- side the skirt; a style which in- p creases in popularity as 'l time goes on. The neckline, going straight `across the front and'v back from shoulder to shoulder, is also proving very popular. This line is not so hard when the material is softly shirred and an additional piece of plain chiffon is placed over the shoulder. Shirred pockets at the edge of the peplum, and the ribbon de- coration ending in loops below. the belt, which is nished with a prim, tailored bow directly in front,_are special style features worthy of consideration, or they appear in many of the new mod- els, .vary.ing according to the na- . ture `of the design which is qIji'tenew ad promises to, be very much. favored.

Another thing they do is to supply home news to the men in the hospitals as far as l.he_v can, and Mrs. Plumpti-es said the home news- paper is one of the greatest` joys] to {he men -tlmt. it is possible to give them. ` The fourth square is the In- formation Bureau. They collect the names of all wounded and immediately send `them a card asking them if there is anything they need. This has been found in many cases to be a great heart balm. One touching. little story was of a soldier who was wound.-- ed and fast wasting away be- cause lie had notheard from his wife in many weeks. She had inoveda couple of times and when found by arepre_sentat.ive of this Bureau was in extremely poor health because she knew her husband was wounded but could get no reply to her letters. Dohbtless the cables that crossed the waters that night cheered both these on to a new" life. Some very funny requests are _1nade to the question Is there any- thing you v need? One man wrote that. he wanted some Wor- cester Sauce, and the la.dy who got his answer thought. he at least needed no sauce. They do a great work in nding men who are missing`, and in many cases secure pictures of the graves of} men who have fallen, which is at great consolation to many griev- ed ones. `.1`liey do the sort of things for the men that their mothers tlfllfl sisters do for them at home, for no matter how good - 9 hnonitnl -in ll.n.... :.. ...,.-.;__1l_:_.-.

In London we have as aceu1'ate a list of these as pose- sihle, and each gets a weekly parcel ol' food--6 lbs. a. tweak from Switzerland and 2 lbs. from Holland. Also clothing. The Red Llross sends what is called a "capture parcel" for war prison- ers immediatelyafter they are This is the only way food and clothing can be got l.l1roug'h, by .the Red Cross. The British Govt. had to make this regula- tion for they found that one of the greatest leaks of informa- tion getting through to Germany was through the Prisoners of War. Uakesthat. looked like cakes _were stuffed with docu. ments and even tins `of meat were found to be false and con- traband. Too, it was found that in some cases enoughfood was being sent to one prisoner` by private parties to feed two Ger- man faniilies surely popular prisoners. It is hard for the mothers, wives, sisters and swlrctllearts who are del_ia1'1`ed from sending private parcels but it is easily seen that it is un- avoidable. Some, too, who had adopted prisoners would for- get one or twoweeks, and this, of course could not go on, for the prisoners are actually dependant upon food we s_end and this has to beef the mostnutritious kind, _as only certain amounts can be "sent. It takes $400,000 a year to feed Canadian prisoners in Ger-` many. But there is.no fund more popular than thePrisoners of War fund. [ :1NwMNs BALM 2 and 5 lb.'Cutona- 10, 20, 50 and 10015".
