RUSK
Are Coming In
by Florehcc Rose.
Blit'K has been so much to the fore
these last few months, that there Is
a determined effort being made to
popularize some of the other colors.
Oreen or brown, for Instance, Is regard
ed as a fashionable shade, also certain
of the red tones, usually designated as
mahogany. Brown" Is such ft thoroughly
practical color, so universally becoming,
that I am surprised It Is not selected
many times when navy blue Is evidently
preferred.
I am snre that If you saw the soft
hrown tints that are shown In some of
the shops you could easily be persuaded'
to become an admirer of brown. Ucsldes,
r firmly believe that -brown gives far
hettcr service than navy blue, because It
docs not show either dust or spot, as we
nil know from bitter experience Is n
falling ot navy blue.
At present It would seem that the sea
son for which all the makers are prepar
ing the fall Is without question to be
notable for the great prominence given
tn xelours. One sets velours used for
etery sort of wearing apparel, from hats
to spats.
It Is one of the new velour suits that
Is shown today. You can readily see a
difference In the length of this Jacket
from thnt which was shown a year ago,
or even this last spring, and it Is ru
mored that the Jackets of smart sutt
for the fall are to be about knee-length;
Also, It Is Interesting to know that
checks and plaids are being featured for
the models that the Paris designers are
now preparing for the American trade.
This suit smacks of the military, with
the snug shoulder line, the high straight
collar and the silk braid trim. It Is
lvplcally a young woman's suit and for
a' slender figure only. 'This fact Is etl
ilent'from the lines of the upper part of
the Jacket and the tendency toward a
shortened waistline. The skirt Is straight.
The hat worn with this suit Is of tan
telour trimmed with a narrow ribbon
which ties in a small bow at the front
and center back, and Is enhanced at the
right side with a bunch of purple
grapes.

Types of Women Needed
for War Service in Europe
t
Miss Mabel Boardman, the only
woman on the executive board of the
American lied Cross, who has Just re
turned from A visit nf Insnfctlon
abroad, answers the Question. "What
sort of women workers should go to
Huropet" Miss Boardman ssys:
''Those who are absolutely representa
tive ot the best American womanhood
should be sent abroad. Our women
over thero In relief work represent the
whole United States to our allies and
to out own soldiers. They must be
women of strong character, who are
able to face abnormal conditions, who
possess perfect health and an Infinite
amount or tact, "Shis is no aaveniure,
hut the hardest nf hard work. The can
teen "workers, for Instance, must be
ready at any time during the day or
night to be on duty when troop trains
are routed through.
"When a woman says to me, T want
to go to France to do executive work,'
T 'feel doubtful of her success. But
when a woman says, 'I want to go to
France to do any sort of work that
may te expected of me i am. wining
to do anything,' I feel then that she
Is the material out of which a possible
executive may be made The woman
workers must be able to obey orders
and to work under rigid discipline.
"Many persons hax-e wondered xvhy4
we naxe sent American women for can
teen work instead of American men
who are nor In the army, or Kngllsh
and French women who are already oxer
there. In the first place, the rolling
canteens near the front are conaucten
by men. The canteens on the lines ot
communication ar conducted by women
because it has been felt that their pres
ence Is an encouragement to the sol
diers. In the second place, French
women would not be able to understand
IhCfoldlers, and neither they nor the
tgllsh women would represent 'home'
to ourTnen. which is the most essential
thlmr. Aaaln and airaln canteen work
ers told me that soldiers entering the
canteen stopped In the doorway with
amazement at the sight of them, and
seemed deeply touched and strengthened
by finding mat American women had
come so far to help.
