Trained nurses are urged by the Red
Cross to enroll for service In European
lospltals. Nurses who enn leave this
jountry at any time, for forelRn serv
ice, are needed or will be, and It Is very
accessary that they should enroll at
nce.
The woman's bureau of the Red
Dross has published u leaflet which
(nay be bad by applying at any chap
cr, describing layettes for French or
Belgian mothers who may need them.
SVltl'i regard to these simple outfits of
warm buby clothes the lied Cross has
issued the following:
"The articles nnd garments In the
iayette have been chosen upon the ad
flce of the woman's bureau representa
tives who have returned from a two
nonths' Investigation of allied needs In
France. The Ited Cross Is anxious
.that these baby clothes be made by
rvomen working at home Instead of In
the chapter workrooms.
"The garments are very simple.
iJrcat emphasis Is laid on the purchase
f extremely durable materials, since
wlng to the coal shortage In France,
iot water Is available In most villages
jnly twice a week, while the greater
part of the laundry work Is done In Icy
streams. The method of cleansing Is by
pounding with stones. Warm baby
:lothes will save many a child who
jtherwlse might perish this year.
Attending to
There Is no prospect now of a respite
.from the necessity to knit and If such
tt respite were In sight there are many
women who would not take advantage
of It. This knitting for the soldiers
turns out to bo a fascinating occupa
tion that quiets the nerves nnd satls-
.(los the henrt's desire to do something
worth while.
There Is no end to the demnnd for
warm sox, for scarfs and sweaters nnd
helmets, nnd there Is uo limitation to
the willingness of women to make
them; so we are destined to go on
' knitting. Even the end of the war will
hardly see the end of our devotion to
the good, old-fashioned art. Ry that
" time we shall have become addicted to
It and also to the necessity of being
useful.
.The knitting bag Is the outward nnd
vfslble sign of our patriotic Industry
nnd every day brings out now ones.
The last arrivals arc somewhat smaller
than tho sweater bags that wore so
numerous In the summer nnd fall fol
lowed by knitting bags patterned after
them. Satin and ribbon are used for
making many of these new bags, In
plain nnd printed weaves and In bro
caded and embroidered patterns, They
nro designed so thnt they can be eas
ily carried on tho nrm nad to make
the knitting so accessible that every
where their wearers sit down for a
quarter of an hour, or even less time,
the knitting goes faithfully on. Three
ribbon bags are shown In the group
illustrated. The largest bag Is made
of roso-colored ribbon In five strips,
herrlngbuno-fitltched together. The end
strips aro (rimmed In u curvo and the
.edgos nro finished with a narrow plait
ing of inch-wide satin ribbon matching
the bag. Small rings with cover of
crocheted silk floss suspend the bag
"The layette will. It' necessary, servo
also for civilian relief here in America.
"Patterns, described in the. leaflet
can be obtained at Red Cross chapterst
and at practically every retail dry
goods store with a pattern counter.'
The outfit calls for:
"Two daisy-cloth or outing flannel
dresses, one Annuel or knitted or
crocheted jacket, three bleached mus
lin jackets, three thin white flannel
brassieres, one flannel or dalsy-clotb
hood, two pairs of fiootees, two swad
dling cloths or woolen blankets, three
flannel binders, twelve diapers, three
undershirts, one bonnet and a bag tilled
with sundries for the little ncwcoinci
Into a warring world. AVherever pos.
slble the Red Cross urges that the
layette be completed before It Is turned
over to the chapters for shipping,
Where this Is not posnible, single ar
ticles will be acceptable.
"Members of the Junior Red Cross,
little girls In the grammar grade sew
ing classes, have offered to help with
the baby clothes ; nnd many women In
rural districts will find these simple
contributions' to the winning of the
great war and the comforting of French
motherhood, easier to make than cut
ting hospital garments for men or,
struggling with the wool scarcity when
they have volunteered to knit."
