FINISH ON CHILDREN'S DRESSES
I HAVE been wander
ing through tho
shops looking at tho
newest creations for
little girls. Thcro aro
plenty of varied styles,
so that It Is possible lo
suit every imaginable
typo tho thin young
ster, the chubby child
or tho happy medium.
Following tho rather
alarming oxamplo set
by tho styles 'this sea
son, skirts aro very
much shorter than Jn
former years. All lace
models aro fashionable,
tho finest of shadow or
Valenciennes bolns
joined together by hem
stitching or hand work.
Another notable point
Is tho absence of cm
broidery, It is used, of
course, but. not half so
widely na last summer.
Medallions of embroid
ery are Inserted In tho
fine organdie or batiste
dresses, but solid work,
such as we were used
to seeing In Buch pro

past.
A pretty habit of us

baby Or del blues, and
flesh pinks especially
for a child's party gown
has copie over to this
side straight from tho
forcniost designers of

Mr. Garden Toad thought that a good
suggestion, so he promptly kept a watch
out for Billy Robin. By good luck, at
that very minute Billy Robin flew down
the garden path and stopped near Mr.
Garden Toad,
"Oh, friend Billy," called the toad,
'can you tell how to get a hose BhowerT"
Billy cocked his head to one side and
thought. "That's a pretty big question
you have asked me." ho snJrt m in.)
"You know those hose Bhowers are oper

Is never any telling what they will do!
But there ought to be a way. Walt a

Tommy Sparrow -was glad to come
down to the garden path and talk the
matter over. "Why, of course, there Is a
way," he said the first thing. "We are
entirely too polite about our thlrstlness.
We ought to make a Breat ' f uss. then
we might get some water You, Mr.

They all thought that was worth try

mournful croaking you never heard!)
and Billy and Tommy Sparrow fluttered
and scolded and stormed in tho dust of
tho garden-till would you believe It?
That queer Mr. Man-ln-the-house heard
them and came out to see what they
wanted! It was not hard to guess that
they were thirsty and the hose was turned
on at once.
"What bliss!" muttered Mr. Toad from
the depths of th first puddle. "Next

CATERPILLAR RAVAGES
TREES OF THE CITY
Tussock Moth Destroying Foli
age of Public Squares and
Fairmount Park.
Thousands of ticcs In nil pnrls of the
city aic being denuded of their leaves
by the ravages of tho "Tussock Moth"
caterpillar. The many whlto cocoons ob
servable on trees during tho last month
havo produced nrmles of Insects which
havo wrought havoc with follago every
where. Magnificent trees In largo public
nreas, such as Rlttcnhouso and Logan
nnd In Fairmount Park, bear leaves fair
ly riddled with holes eaten by tho rap
Idly multiplying parasites.
Tho "Tussock Moth" caterpillar, easily
recognized by Its yellow nnd black mark
ings, Is tho most voracious leaf-cater of
Its species. Two crops of tho moths
aro hatched, ono before tho end of April
and the other In tho middle of July. The
eggs may bo recognized as a flat patch
of crisp whlto matter about one-half Inch
across, which has been deposited on an
empty cocoon. Thcso masses may bo
removed from tho treo bark either with
tho lingers or by scraping it off with a
small hoc. A treo Infested twice In a
year becomes weakened nnd Is In danger
of dying as a result of tho drains made
upon It to produco new leaves.
City Forester Pond announced that
preparations aro being made to spray
noes in puono parks and squares with
arscnato of lead, which coats tho leaves
and kills tho Insects eating It.
"The Bureau of City Property will not
bo ablo to deal with tho situation in tho
way it likes," said Mr. Pondr "There will
bo a largo area needing our attention
and few men aro at our disposal. Wo
havo at present only ono man to every
10 acres of ground under our care, al
though wo need three times as many.
For some years Councils has been asked
for a greater appropriation, but the
yearly appropriation remains tho same,
while year after year tho property placed
under our charge becomes more anj
moro extensive."
WAR HORRORS TOLD
ELLEN ADAIR BY 'TOMMY'
Continued from I'UKe One
condition of the bullet-riddled uniform,
tho Invitation was a terribly solemn and
ominous one.
The station at Liverpool was crowded
with soldleis. Tho railway carriages are
divided Into small compartments, each
quite separate, and these hold six per
sons comfortably. AVhcn I boarded the
Edinburgh express a soldier was seated
opposite me. lie was of middle age and
I could tell by the badges on his uni
form thnt he was a private In the Cum
berland Fusiliers. Ho told me that his
name wan James Wilson.
When we reached tho wild and lonely
tracts of Cumberland, ho looked wistfully
out of the window at the flying land
scape. It Is a hilly country and tho hills
and glens, the lonely farmhouses, perched
on the edges of deep ravines and curious
stone dykes, shone In the summer sun
light. But the .soldier's hands shook
nervously all the time. Then, quite sud
denly, ho pitched oer sideways and
fainted. His khaki cap fell to tho floor
and thero across rho side of his forehead
was a terrible scar! We did what we
could to revive htm, and In a minute or
two he slit up.
"My head!" he Bald, breathing heavily.
"March 2i Ypres!"
"That's a terrible scar!" I said. "How
did you over live through It all?"
His hands were twitching nervously
again,
"My God!" ho Bald. "Ypres-heU let
loose,!"
"Won't, you tell me a little about U7"
I asked.
Tho soldier shook his head,
"You're a -woman," said he. "I can't teR
you tortures unspeakable horrors
sights that drove men. raving Insane I
only want-to forget-"
STANDING ON CORPSES,
AVe sat quite silent for a tlrfie. Private
Wilson with his head burled In his hands.
Then suddenly he boson to speak.
"This Isn't war." said he. "It's hell let
loosel I've seen things that would make
your blood run oold, I've stood for dayu
and day up to the waist in ley water In

Wo had this cutting barbed wire to go
through:
COMRADE BLOWN TO PIECES.
"I was talking to my comrado beside
mo when a hlgh-cxploslvo shell burst,
and ho went Into a million pieces thero
wasn't u traeo of him left. It gavo mo
n queer, sick sort of feeling to look at
tho place whero ho'd been, I remember
staring at it a long time; then I turned
round to the other side nnd thero lay
a human head and, further nway, nn nrm.
It wasn't my comrndo's, but a man I'd
always liked, and It made mo feel sicker
and moro dazed than ever. Then camo
a. tcirlblo whirring above me, und I
looked up nnd saw another shell. 'It's
mo this time,' I said. And I was right,
But I was so torn up by tho barbed wlro
and so sick nt heart by tho horrors of
the last few hours that I didn't care.
And then I remember no more until I
woke up In a tcrrlblo dark cart, where
I was lying with n lot of other men.
Komo of them wcro sobbing and some
wcro screaming, but tho man next mo
was laughing nnd singing. Ho had gone
mad. And, after that, I don't remember
any moro till hospltnl. They took this
plcco of shell out of my head, and Prl
vato James Wilson hnnded me a bit of
lead tho size of a largo lump of sugar.
LEAD IN HIS SKULL,
"They couldn't get It all out," he con
tinued. "They tell mo a pleco of It Is
still in my skull. And, though I'm con
valescent now, I get faint and dizzy
often. You must excuso me.
"Tho Germans always tire on the
wounded," ho continued later. "I heard
that they fired on me alt the time I was
being carried off. I've seen them with
my own eyes killing tho wounded on the
battlefield."
Prlvnto Wilson gazed out of the window
and tho look on his' face was ono of
some terrible memory, too tcrrlblo to
relate.
"Can you picture a battlefield whero
tho dead have been lying for months
and months?" said he. "That's where
I fought. When wo get a chanco wo bury
tho dead In tho trenched beneath us. But
tho rain washes the earth away, and then
we're standing right on them. It's
ghastly."
"Do these gicat shells work terrible
havoo?' somo one asked.
Private Wilson smiled.
"When a SO-pound shell falls. It blows
a hole In tho ground that a team of horses
could bo drawn through. I saw one fall
amidst a group of my pals and thcro was
no traco of them left. We call these
shells 'coalboxes' and wo Joko about them.
'Duck your head, old fellow,' said a man
to me, 'hero's n coalbox coming.' The
words were hardly out of his mouth when
his head nnd right arm were taken clean
off by n flying frogm'ent, leaving the rest
of his body propped up close to me. I got
away with a slight wound In the thigh
but my time came later."
"But you will be all right again In a
few months?" Iasked.
Private Wilson shook his head, as the
train slowed down to the platform at
which he was to alight.
"Not In this world," said he. "When
your skull has been torn by a high ex
plosive, when your days and nights for
months havo been spent up to the arms
in ley water till tho pains made you long
to dlo, when you've had a touch of
asphyxiating gas that tears your lungs

Child Federation Supervising
Practical Demonstrations to
Classes in Hygiene.
More than 2000 '"little mothers" n thl
city, tho majority of them less than 12
cars old, aro learning how to care for
their baby brothers and sisters through
tho hot summer months by witnessing
practical demonstrations In "baby hy
giene" on a llfo-slzo baby doll.
The work of Instruction Is being carried
on by tho Child Federation, under the
supervision of Mrs. William N. Bradloy.
She has organized a now branch of tho
"Llttlo Mother's L,onguo" in an effort to
reach tho thousands of homes In tho
poorer sections of the city, where the
sweltering heat brings tho infant mortal
ity rate to an appalling high figure.
Tho baby-saving classes aro Intensely
popular. They aro conducted every Tues
day afternoon, tho majority of them out
doors, in 32 wcll-choscn locations, such ns
school play grounds, recreation ccnties,
settlements, hospjtnl dispensaries and vo
cational schools. Each class it under tho
direction of two teachers, who follow a
plan of Instruction outlined by physicians
connected with tho Child Federation, and
detailed methods of practical Instruction
given them each Tuesday at a teachers
class conducted at the School for Social
Service, 423 South 16th street.
"LITTLE MOTHERS" PUPILS IN PAST
Tho "llttlo mothers" were not unac
quainted with work dono by tho Child
Federation In bettering conditions In their
neighborhoods. Thoy had attended
classes In which general sanitation was
tauglit'durlng the winter, nnd when It
was announced that the Llttlo Mothers'
League would convenp for Its flrst sum
mer session July 6 the news spread rap
idly. On that day girls trudged for miles
over the hot city streets to attend the
demonstrations.
They were not disappointed. On tho
contrary, they wcro astonished to find
their Instructors equipped with a baby
doll, "Just llko It was real," baby clothes,
sleeping basket, bath tub ond all other
paraphernalia necessary for the thorough
caret of the baby. The flrst lesson was on
lifting nnd handling the baby, tho noxt
on dressing, and Tuesday of next week
tho "llttlo mothers" will bo Instructed
In tho sanitation of the baby's home.
Tho league will contlnuo Its summer
course until early In September, and In
the meantime the lessons are becoming
moro and more popular and thcro Is an
ever Increasing demand for Instruction In
loralltlcs not touched at present. But the
cost of establishing such classes Is an
Important Item. Tho Child Federation
this week opened a "Little Mothers'
League" branch at the Southern Homo
for Destitute Children, and tho equip
ment, costing JM, Is the last at Its dis
posal. . TAKE PRIDE IN ORGANIZATION.
The children take great pride In their
organization. Each wears a blue nnd
gold button encircled with the words,
"Child Federation," and enclosing tho
legend, "Little Mothers' League." At
tendance Is recorded and at tho end of
the summer each of tho pupils will re
ceive a "sure-nuff certlf-cate" signed by
Albert Cross, managing director of the
federation, and Mrs. William N. Bradley,
their .supervisor.
When the girls havo been "graduated"
they will havo learned to look for pins
when tho baby cries; they will know that
to lift child by the arms may disjoint
tho shoulder blades; that to kiss a child
on the mouth Is to endanger Its health,
and that the fly Is a deadly enemy, to be
"swatted" on every occasion. They will
recognize the "Whoop" of whooping
cough and the spots denoting measles.
The "little mother" will be competent to
care for the babies' feeding bottles, baths
and clothing, and will know that paci
fiers are to be regarded with suspicion.
They will not "spoil" tho baby by picking
it up wnenever u cries, nor win they per
mit the sucking of thumbs or other bad
baby habits.
Mrs. Bradley pronounces tho "Little
Mothers' League" a "terrific success,"
and asserts that there aro no longer any
doubts us to the permanency of the work,
"The mothers of these little girls are
hard to reach," she said, "Many of
them do not even speak English, but by
following out our plan of prevention
rather than cure, a work Is being ac
complished which will have a telling ef
fect on future generations, when these
girls themselves have become mothers."

MISS MARIANA SHREVE
OUT nt tho Homo for Aged Couples, at
1723 Francis street, such a wonderfully
homelike atmosphero provalU as to make
ono entirely forget It Is an Institution.
In fact, bringing it up to this standard
is Just what Miss Mariana Shrove, matron
of the home, has been striving for ever
slnco she took charge of It 23 years ago.
Thero hep days are spent mothering
thcso gentle aged folk, who whllo away
their hours doing tho things thoy most
enjoy or chatting remlnlsccntly about tho
things that happened In tho dear old
dr.ys.
A peep around tho placo will disclose
somo few things suggestive of the fixed
Ideas of tho long ago. Ideas which havo
been rules of good old-fashioned homes
for generations; the parlor shades are
severely drawn, for whoever heard of
our beloved grandmothers exposing to tho
unkind rays of tho sun that sacred bit
of cxtraagance, the parlor carpet?
Patchwork quilts, representing tho labor
of months, are neatly folded and laid
ucross tho foot of the 'bed, for whoever
heard of a home which was complete
without a goodly number of these splen
dorous polychromatic gems?
"Men and women are too young at CO
nowadays," said Miss Shreve with an en
gaging smile, "tcj be content in a home.
Thoy lovo tho pretty things nnd excite
ment of active life Just as much os .the
younger generation, and are not satisfied
to pass away their declining years In Idle,
ness. So we have changed tho ago of ad
mittance to 65 years."
Just as your mother and mlno was ever
mindful of our many needs, of our long
ings for the pretty gewgaws of dress, of
our love for a bright, attractive homo; of
tho multitudinous details which must be
attended to In tho management of a house,
hold; of the dollar which must be
stretched Just as far as careful planning
and Judicious buying would permit, Just
bo does this loyal executive exercise her
Judgment and devote her time nnd ener
gies In tho dlschargo of her duties as ma
tron, that these dear, aged charges, many
of whom have passed their three-score
years and ten, may have a homo In tho
truest, fullest sense of the word.
"I buy tho very best which the home
can afford," continued Miss Shreve, the
veracity of which statement was 'attested
by a trip to the dining room, where two
loner tables fairly groaned under tho
weight of goodies, and by the delicious
odqr that was wafted Inward from the
cook's domain,
'i)V?uhava " stat8 or c'ty support,"
said the matron In answer to a question
of maintenance. The Inmates pay J500
life fee, and the other moneys are re
celved by special contributions or legacies.
We have no endowment fund, and many
times It Is a matter of deep corfcern Just
where or how to turn to meet tho current
expenses, owing to lack of funds."

WOMEN OF OLD EGYPT
SEEK EMANCIPATION!
i
Movement in Land of EastR1
juoorqng to xneir jn-eeaomj
Steadily Progresses.
a
CAIRO, July 16. A great movement
on foot In Egypt for tho emancipation of
woman. Notwithstanding tho roar of
battle within measurable distance of Jh
capital tho movement Is steadily taking
shape. AVlthotit doubt It will bring aboul
a great radical change In this tlme-bounJi
land nnd effect a great step toward thi
modernization of tho country.
A stumbling-block exists at the moment
In the religious aspect of the case, as n
Moslem will never abate ono Jot of tlttl
of his faith. But tho dlfliculty is nJ
Insuperable. Tho conservative hold thai
thcro Is nothing In tho Koran whlci
shames a woman to display her feature)
It rests with tho Rector of El Azher Mi
tho Grand Mufti, tho highest exponenti
of Moslem law, to settle this difference
If they can be, persuaded to do so.
Many of tho older members of the co;
munlty aro raising the cry that the ne
departure will tend to greater Immoral;
Ity. but this Is refuted by pointing ti
tho Coptic Catholics, who are as -well
able to take cdro ,of themselves as Um
any other women in tho country.
The one great point of agreement I)
that all favor the higher cducatloaij
women, ond agree that woman Is immi
to be nmn'n helnmeet. nnd not his t!lf(.!
Tho Egyptian newspapers aro warmlyiW
cussing the pros nnd cons of the mot!
ment. In which many women are talstas!
part. Every sympathizer has the rUMl
to be gratified at the present outlook all
the discussion, as It augurs wellfor tM
ruture of the Moslem woman, ,

Tho Lullaby
Low Is the note In the sweep of life.
Lost in the whir of Incessant strife,
Yet Is heard the SUimber Sons!
Plaintive and sweet are the notes th
ueui,
Deep In the well of noise and heat,
Still wo hear the Slumber Sqng!
Itoar of tho cobbles and clang of cars,
Mighty the sound of the city's wars'
In their midst, the Slumber Songl
And all for the caln of a golden crown.
Trylpg wim-clamor the song to drowp-iS
And the while, the Slumber song:
