HOW many of us have had the ex.
perlcnce of carefully embroidering
a centerpiece or dolly, very enthusiastic
about It, until the end, when we were
so glad It was actually finished at last,
we put It nslde In sewing bag or basket,

pattern lace I found today. It Is of
uncommon quality, and can be secured
for the surprising price of ten cents per
yard.
Warm days and nights are hard for
us grown-ups, It Is true, but they seem
to us Infinitely harder for the little
people. How often have you glanced at
your young son's damp tousled curli as
he lies In his little bed, and wished that
you could alt up all night and fan him,
or at least And a cooler spot for him.
Of course, you want to leave his bed

price Is 1.!6.
The well-dressed woman never over
looks the little accessories to her cos

perfectly groomed woman and merely
her with pretty clothea. And she chooses
wisely the little "extras," knows just
where to find the best and the most
distinctive additions to her gowns. In
tho matter of ties, for Instnnce, they
ran, of course, be purchased nnywhere.
But for shimmering crepe do chine, for
gay, Roman stripes, or richer, more sub
dued colors, none can touch the lovely
ties I saw today. They are fifty cents,
which Is the usual price for the usual tie,
but fifty cents for these ties Is unusual,
because they are of superior quality and
exceptional design. How nbout purchas

The Misses Francis, of Trinidad, Trained in Bellevue Hospital,
New York, Will Help Allied Cause
DOItOTIIY and Maude Francis, young
Chinese women of means who came
all the way from Trinidad to study
nursing In an American training school,
have offered their services to the Amer
ican Red Cross to nurse Americans in
France. Anxious to do their best for
the Allied cause, these young women
overcame the traditional Chinese oppo
sition to women leaving home and came
to America to become trained nurses.
"Every one, the British bb well as the
American doctors nnd merchants and
business men of all countries," said
Dorothy Francis, "told me that the
American trained nurse was the most
efficient of her profession ; that the
hospitals, the training schools, the op
portunities for experience for trained
nurses, as found in America, were
equaled In no other country."
Miss Francis has Just completed the
three-year course In nurses' training
at Bellevue Hospital, New York, and,
after a trip to Trinidad to visit her
mother, will enroll with the Bed Cross
nursing service. Her younger sister
has two years of training still ahead
of her, but 'says if the war lasts that
long she, too, will enter upon Red Cross
work.
Mls'a Francis sailed for New York
three years ago without knowing any
one, only the address of a' training

Dear Cynthia I am a alrl of sixteen and
met a fellow a year ago. At first, when I
met him I liked him. I went with him
about four weeks. Then one of my girl
friends told me that he aald something about
me. I then asked him and he aald he never
said It. 1 then stopped going with him.
I went to a party last week and he was
there. 1 did not even look at him and he
did not aav anything to me. either. He sat
alone as did I. I love him very much. How
can I tell him. as I would like to go with
hlmf I know many of hla boy friends. Can
I tell them or should I wrlto to htm
BLONDE.
My dear, you must not tell this boy
you love him. I think you treated him
very ehabblly if he said he had not said
the unkind thing of which you accused
him. You could write him a little note
now saying that you feel you have been
very unjust and you hope he will fpr
glve you.
But do not ask him to call. Let any
advance come from him. Any other way
of doing would be forward and bold. If
he Is big enough to forgive the affront
and wants to be friends let him call on
you and be very cordial when he cornea
And dear, take this little lesson. Do
not listen to mean things which are re
peated to you bv other girls and boys.
Discourage It the m'nute they 'start.
Often things are said under circum
stances which would make them not at
all offensive but If repeated.they become
an Insult. It's a hard lesion but it la

establishing her right to enter and her
perseverance resulted In her being ad
mitted. She became so enthusiastic
about the work nnd the opportunity for
"doing enc's best for humanity," that
she wrote for her sister. At the end of
the war the two sisters Intend going to
China to establish a nurses' training
school In Pekln to encourage young
Chinese girls to take up nursing.
They are tho daughters of a pros
perous proprietor of a cocoa estate In
tho West Indies, who came there ns a
boy and was adopted by an English
family. The father was married to a
girl of his own race and settled down
In Trinidad, where four daughters were
born to them, all of whom speak Kngllsh
fluently.
The coming enrollment of these two
Chinese nurses Is one of the direct ef
fects of the nation-wide campaign the
American Red Cross Is conducting to
enroll every graduate nurse either for
assignment to the army and navy nurse
corps or for duty in public health
nursing and aa home defense nurses.
The army and the navy have called for
enough additional nurses to bring' their
nurse corps up to approximately 25,000
by the first of the year.

First Steps
Like a desert vast and cheerless
Stretch the nursery lands.
Who could gaze with vision fearless
O'er those trackless sands?
Though there waits a shelter peer,

Eyes alight with exultation.
Lips that shape a shout;
Just a flutt'rlng hesitation,
Just a sigh of doubt.
Dare and launch a generation
Sturdy legs step out.

TTtOR the moment foulard Is having
everything Its own way. There are
a few of us who do not cherish, way
down In our memory, the recollection of
springs that wouldn't have seemed quite
right without a foulard grown, and the.
very first opportunity to bring back this
foulard frock we have grasped with
eager hands. At least one foulard gown
Is In the wardrobe or will be of nine
out of ten women this summer. And there
Is much to rriake the welcome to foulard
so enthusiastic. It Is exceedingly good
to look upon, wears well at least It
did at Its earlier Incarnation and comes
In a large assortment ' designs and
colorings.
At the word foulard the mind naturally
sees a vision of blue and white, which
Is the case of the Illustration today, and
It Is what most women call the polka
dotted fculard, a design that somehow
never really seems to go out of fashion.
However, this season the splashy sort of
designs in foulard are considered very
much smarter, but that Is not, aa you
understand, saying that the "dot la
passe."
I really believe that one of the chief
reasons why wtmen have always adored
foulard Is because this material demands
little or no trimming. This frock today
Indorses this argument, as It Is virtually
unadorned with the exceptions of the
vest and cuffs, which are hemstitched
white georgette crepe.
There Is a straight and narrow foun
dation skirt, over which hanga a rather
full tunic that falli very unevenly. The
sleeves are long and Inclined to 'snug
ness. Of course, there Is a girdle, There
seems to be no frock these days that Is
ungirdledi This girdle Is of the foulard
and alma to give a lowered effect to
the waist line.
