Knitting for Soldiers Is the Thing Really the most noticeable thing bout the drest of smart young maid tns nowaday ii the knitting bag. iou have een these gay adjuncts, surely, for all the society girls are :arrying them wherever they go. If rou see one sitting in her car before lome place of business, you see her jusily plying long knitting needles ith purple or some other gay-colored tarn which Hows from a huge crc onne bag at her side. Miss Claire Helene Woodard sat knitting on the :orner of Sixteenth and Howard the iavs that she was on duty during the t.M Cross membership campaign. Sometimes you see the pretty girls akig cars at down town intersec ions with these gay cretonne bags 3ii their arm. You know that they nust contain fascinating sweaters, or sweaters, not aocks for soldiers, ire the usual contents. Mrs, A. L. Seed won a pretty cretonne bag at he Creche bridge party not long ago. t first she was inclined to regard it is i darning bag. Then she had the inspiration that her daughter, Miss Elizabeth Reed, would find it just the ihing to carry her sweater and her quitting in. Little Miss Eleanor Austin was leen with a pretty knitting bag the other day. It carried a sweater, not locks for soldiers. The story goes that soldiers in Europe have become so proficient at knitting that they take great delight in unraveling the woman-made aocks to reknit them lighter and warmer. Miss Ruth Fitzgerald carried a pretty cretonne bag which conceals some knitting needles and yarn. Hers is almost like the clever knitting bags which women carry on the end of their swagger sticks. One of the prizes t the Franchise card party it she Country club Monday was not I knitting bag, but a fancy work bag in melon shape. Perhaps you have leen them, made with three sides that :ome together at the pointed ends ind open on top. Nobody could it :empt to lose crochet or knitting needles out of such a bag. Another unusual bag was that given by Mrs. Arthur Pinto, who had seen the model in Chicago. It was crocheted in Ro man stripes around and around in dark colors, deep reds, greens, blues, yellows and the like with the narrow itriped ribbon to match for a draw itring. It would have made ai very tttractive knitting bag, but was not arge enough to hold a sweater. Mrs. George Doane was the fortunate per son who won it. For Buenos Ayres Guests.

(Correspondence of The Aeeoclaled Preee.) London, May 25. The war will cause a greater stimulus in women's activities in the United Stales than it has done among the women of Eu rope, in tne opinion oi miss cnrisia- bel Pankhurst, daughter of Mrs. Em meline Pankharst, the leader of the British militant suffragettes. Miss Pankhurst has recently re turned to England after two years of self-imposed exile in h ranee witn tne execution of some months spent cam paigning in the United States. She left Entrland when the notice obiect- ed to her too' strenuous methods of suffrage propaganda, which brought her into prison on several occasions. Praise for Women. "American women." she said, "will take men's places to an even larger extent than they have in England and France. The result will be that the women of America, who already en joy more privileges than their sisters on this side ot tne -Atlantic, win nave a still larger measure of freedom after the war, when I believe women who want the vote can nave it. l tmnk I know the women of America," she went on, "and I can just see how they will throw themselves into the spirit of these days of strife. "The women of the United States are quick witted and adaptable. For this reason they will replace men in a larger variety of industries than even the French and British women have done. At the same time their work will spell efficiency which will prove i good argument for their re tention in many places after the war is over. . Bouquet for Men. The chivalrous American man will not overlook the sacrifices of the woman in war time and he will recog nize the same as men in England arc doing that women are bound to show the same wisdom and patriotism In the use of the ballot. However, as re gards votes for women in England, which nearly every one believes is sure to come after the war, if not before, all I care to say is that we will believe it only when we see it." One Week More and the ' -Public Schools Close Public schools will be closed for the summer on Friday of next week. On the following Monday vacation schools will be opened at South High, Farnam and Lothrop schools for a period of six weeks.

The fresh, smart appearance obtained is put of all proportion to the slight amount of labor expended. Yet many women who count them selves fairry good dressmakers pay far too little attention to the impor tant matter of pressing, which fin ishes and renders perfect their work with scissors and sewing machine. The completed frock, perhaps, is car ried down tc the kitchen thrown over the ironing board and slicked over with a flatiron that may be too hot for the material under it, or too cold to obliterate pin and basting marks snd creases. There is the danger, also, that the dainty frock may come in contact with grease on kitchen ta ble or floor, or that some liquid may be spattered on it. Have a little one-burner gas plate end tube upstairs m the sewing room where one may heat a flatiron any time it is needed without the trouble of going downstairs. Have two boards, one for skirts and one for sleeves, collars and other small nieces. and keep both boards immaculately covered with clean, unbleached mus lin. Have, if possible, two natirons. a five or six-pound iron for the smaller pieces and eight or nine- pound iron tor coats, skirts and other heavy pressing purposes. Press every part of the costume as needed as you go along; do not wait until many seams and cross-stltchings complicate matters. Press out old pieces of silk or trim ming that are to be used over again they may be applied much more easily if flatly pressed. Silk requires rather a cool iron, and lace must not be pressed with too hot an iron, either. Wool materials need a very hot iron, but a piece of thin muslin 7, 1917. for Summer should be laid between iron and ma terial. In pressing chiffon, go very slowly and take great care to keep the chiffon straight on the pressing board. It it pulls askew under the iron, the texture may be ruined. Vel vet should be steamed, not pressed. Lay a wet cloth over the iron (which stands up on its end) and draw the wrong side of the velvet back and forth over the steaming cloth till the pile rises and creases disappear. Never press ribbon directly with the hot iron; lay a strip of damp muslin between iron and ribbon. When pressing out very handsome material "try" the iron first on a snip ping of the fabric. Be sure the iron is not hot enough to scorch or change the color as a very hot iron will sometimes do if applied to delicate colors, i In pressing open long seams, stretch the seam a bit and it will open more easily under the nose of the iron. Place the nose heavily on one end of the opened seam, grasp the op posite end firmly snd as the iron ad vances keen the seam taut. It is al ways best to stitch seams with silk, which "gives" more when the seam is stretched in the pressing. And silk is less apt to change color under a hot iron than cheap thread. Nor will silk shrink when a tailored garment is dampened and pressed heavily. Brooklyn Eagle. , I" AT sift -T-'"-. "yL ..abiT MIAKUNI KADI FIOM TBI HIGHEST GUIDE tUMM WHEAT COOKS IN It MIHUTES.
