"Do you believe in Petticoats?
Aye. and aye and ever did.
Tis Petticoats that rule the world
As seen, or erstwhile hid."
.-r-and speaking of Petticoats! Have
!ou seen the newest ones displayed
in the shops? Well, then, you sure-,
ly have something pleasant to look
forward to; for never have Petticoat
styles been so varied and interest
ing. When I was in one of our stores,
the other day, I was led down a ver
itable Petticoat Lane there were pet
ticoats to the right of me 1 petticoats
to left of me! such a bewildering
array of petticoats, that my brain
fairly reeled with the flashes of gay
color and bewildering not only from
the standpoint of color, but from that
of design also. For though Madame
La Mode has decreed that suits and
dresses for fall must be of sombre
hues, and simple lines, she simply
couldn't resist being frivolous when
it came to petticoats.
Fringe is the latest adornment to
these underthings, and when you sec
how fascinatingly decorative it is.
we cannot fail to know why Hiawatha
fell for the charms of Minnehaha
his heart simply got -all tangled up
in that fringe trimming on her leath
er gown.
Some of the "petties" I saw were
finished With round, or pointed scal
lops, edged with fringe trimming.
On a very beautiful one an embroi
dered flower embellished the centre
of each scallop.
Changeable silk has been used to
produce some very lovely petticoats;
one noted in blended shades of blue
and gold reminded me of a sunset
on a summer evening.
Wool embroidered posies; huge
roses, and conventionalized daisies
added a charming effect to some pet
ticoats of silk jersey, taffeta and sat
in. Petticoats such as these are not
"born to blush unseen." It was really
intended that they should flaunt their
prettiness at the breakfast table ac
companied by a dainty negligee jacket
Large coin dots of shamrock green,
added a note of gayety to a petti
coat of navy blue satin. Accordion
pleated ruffles with insets of bright
Roman striped silk are a new idea
in the petticoat world.
In fact if that old poet who sang
about the "winning wave, the deserv
ing note in the petticoat," could have
observed these "beauties." he might
have written a poem really worth
reading.

- THE BIG DRAMA.
By Dick Willi.
They are going In their numbers from the
- Movie and the Stage,
And very loon the leads will alL be sixty
years of age;
They're putting on a drama, quits a big one,
over there.
And the Stage and Movie actors have gone
... off to do their share.
No Tragedy just like it has been produced
before;
-No off-stage cans and drums make up tbls
battle's awful roar;
They're all male leads and juveniles, these
days they're all the style,
Old men and leading ladles now are
"resting" for awhile.
There are heroes by the doien and each one
Is a star,
For extras and director! over there are
on a par;
The scenery and settings are realistic
quite,
And every act's a thriller, with a rough
... and tumble fight
They are going in their numbers from the
Movies and the Stage,
And to dramatic history are adding a new
- page;
They will play their parts tn costmue till
the Tragefy la done.
And they've rescued Mistress World
Peace from the clutches of the Hun.
Girls of the Lafayette club, one of the patriotic organizations, have estab
lished a cooky jar at the Khaki club, which they have asked the other girls'
patriotic clubs to help them keep filled with home-made cookies. C. B. Liver
company gave a five-gallon jar and the girls filled it up with delicious, flaky
sugar confections Thursday afternoon. Privates McEvila, Lynch and Mc
Gillicudy of the signal corps at Fort Omaha were digging into them with very
evident enjoyment when The Bee photogiapher arrived on the scene.
Side Remarks on Red
Cross Work Among the
Refugees in France
One of the American Red Cross
workers has found time to sketch a
few of the scenes and experiences that
sre part of her everyday conscious
ness in France. She writes:
"I went from Paris to Troyes
where there are great numbers of
refugees about 7,000 and it was
there that I had my first experience
with them. There was a young Amer
ican there with whom I served my
apprenticeship. He was doing his
monthly collecting for furniture, etc.,
which is sold on the installment plan,
and regular collections are made for
the money. I thought it was going to
be a horrid job and that people
wouldn't want to let us in. but I found
myself quite .mistaken. We were re
ceived everywhere with smiles of joy
the money was practically always
forthcoming and the visits were not
at all affairs of business but pleasant
social meetings.
"Four little refugee children whom
I stumbled upon by accident yesterday
are peering in at the open window. I
found them in an ancient chateau.
The place was a den of dirt with no
mattresses on the iron cot where a
young baby lay asleep. The room
contained two such cots, covered with
rags, a tiny stove, a broken chair, an
old wardrobe, and a small table. I
saw one blanket. The children slept
on the floor. How did they ever get
through the winter? They came from
Rheims and underwent 31 bombard
ments before coming here, and think
of the little girl running after me to
give me a flowering wall-flower in a tin
can, the only pretty thing she had.
These children are sitting by me as
I write eating chocolate.
"I must tell you of another tragic
family I came upon two days ago.
They were in a squalid stone hut by
the roadside. The woman, who told
me she had no other clothes than
those she wore, had varicose veins
which she showed me. in deference to
the Red Cross I wear. I'm afraid I
do not often correct this misconcep
tion, as I find myself listened to very
respectfully when I suggest air and
sunshine, and I have actually had peo-
L pie get up and open a window at my
suggestion a great achievement in
France. The woman told me that her
husband was mobilized and her eldest
son a prisoner. One of the boys, a
little chap of 4 or 5, was going blind,
and held his head down all the time.
Another little fellow of 11, I think,
looking 8, scarcely had strength to
stand upright, and lay across a bicycle
which stood against the- wall. He
looked decidedly ill. And a little girl
whom I did not see never stopped
coughing, her mother told me. I saw
another boy with staring eyes, under
nourished and ill like the rest of them
Now is the time for pickling and
preserving. Various kinds of fruits
and vegetables for these purposes
are on the local markets. Jelly grapes
sell from $1.00 to $1.25 a market bas
ket. Crab apples cost about the same.
Tomatoes of very nice quality cost
from 60 to 75 cents a market basket.
"Quite a difference from three years
ago when we were selling them at
10 cents a basket this time of year."
remarked a market man.
Picking gherkins, small pickles, sell
at about $2.00 for a market basket.
Little onions for pickling purposes
cost 50 to 60 cents for an ordinary
grape basketful. Large cucumbers
sell at 5 and 10 cents each.
The turnip, long considered a most
plebeian vegetable, has mounted to
aristocratic heights in price, at least,
selling around 10 cents a "bunch"
weighing about three-fourths of a
pound. The dry, hot weather is said
to have worked havoc with the tur
nip crop.
Sweet potatoes are of very good
quality and sell at 8 to 10 cents a
pound. The ordinary potatoes sell
from 40 to 50 cents a peck.
One of the most economical fruits
nowadays is the California grape,
which sells at 10 to 12 cents a pound
But the market men say there is lit
tle demand for them, though they are
sweet, succulent and nutritious. Con
cord grapes are fairly plentiful around
25 to 30 cents a basket. Plums, pears
and peaches are all of splendid quali
ty now. Oranges are away "out of
sight," medium sized ones costing
about 80 cents a dozen. Grape fruit
of good size and quality sells at
20 cents. Lemons are 40 and 50 cents.
Watermelons are about gone for
the family diseased through and
through. The woman hid 14 children
and seven of them are there in the
hut where I saw her. Theirs is the
most painful case I have seen; the
poor little chateau children are, by
some miracle, strong and well."
the season, though a few are coming
in from some scattered nearby
patches. Rocky Ford cantaloupes of
prime quality sell at 10 and 15 cents
each.
One of the luxuries on the market
now is green figs, which command
50 cents a dozen, from those who
care for them.

Food News Notes.
SUGAR.
Great need for conservation. The food administration expects
the nation as a whole to reduce its consumption of sugar to the low
est possible amount. Sugar will be supplied to those who wish to
can and preserve.
MEAT.
Beef is the meat now most needed for export. There is at present
enough pork to justify its wise and economical use in this country.
There are also the little-used parts of meat which should be known
and used. Tongue, sweetbreads, brains, pork sausages, liver and pic
nic ham are some of the things that are not being shipped to Europe.
WHEAT.
Strict conservation of wheat should not be relaxed. Wheat will
continue to be needed abroad, and we must lay up reserves for emer
gencies on both sides of the Atlantic.
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
Use more of them, so that the more concentrated and staple
foods may be released.
