The durable blue serge dress holds our affection 'through all the vicissitudes of fashion. Never was this type of gown in more demand. The Red Cross - apron may be slipped over its scant lines.- The addition of a topcoat makes sucty a dress ideal for street and general wear. This model of blueserge de pends for, distinction on bandsNf black silk soutache braid. Large black bone buttons fasten the dress from the neck to a depth on the tunic, so that it can be quickly put on and adjusted. The tunic is bor dered with rows of black, silk braid. The same silk braid in wider width ties the waistline. The bell sleeves are outlined with .bands of braid. Like a sailor's 'trousers,, . these sleeves can be turned up, leaving the arms free for work. When in their normal position these sleeves are quite new and decidedly good looking. With this gown is worn a broad black velvet hat, trimmed with ostrich fringe.Nhough a close fitting turbatTts well adapted to the lines of this gown.

(Billy Belgium finds an Imagination Stona In the head of a flan. Peggy, ex perimenting with It, turns an Italian organ-grinder Into a monkey.) CHAPTER II Again Comes the Warning " PUGGY looked at the Imagina tion Stone with half-frightened eyes. It was startling the wav it had changed Judge Owl into a cat I and Sylvester, the organ-grinder, into a money. Billy Belgium was surprised, but it was the funny side of the situation that struck him the hardest. 'Now you ought to turn the real monkey into an organ-grinder so he can have his turn at being bss," he suggesteed. f ' That seemed a good idea. "I wish the monkey to become an organ-grinder," said Peggy. At once Tony, the monkey,, disappeared and in his place was a swarthy orv gan-grinder. . Totfy was -astonished. At first he seemed to go wild with joy. He danced and he sang. Then he grabbed up a stick and started after the shivering Sylvester to make up for all the beatings he had received. But now a" policeman came along. While Tony was dancing around slashing at Sylvester, and Sylvester was dancing around trying to dodge the stick, the policeman put a hand on Tony's shoulder. "Here, here, you're under arrest for cruelty to animals," he said. Tony, who hadn't been a man long enough to know how to treat a policeman, jerked away, ! hit the policeman on the nose, knocked off his hat, jerked up Sylvester, and darted away down the street. The policeman, with a bellow of rage, rushed after him at full speed. "Doesn't the policeman look like a bulldog?" laughed Billy Belgium. "Wouldn't it be funny if he were ?" "Oh. I wish he were a bulldog, cried Peggy, and then to her dismay she saw her wish was granted, for the policeman became- a big bulldog tearing" after Jony with snarling jaws. Tony ran like mad. The bulldog was gaining on him with every leap. Suddenly Tony saw a high board ferrce inclosing a garden. His monkey instincts caused him to go for that fence. Throwing Sylvester ahead of him he leaped high, caught the top. and drew himself tip. But he didn't draw up soon enough, for the bulldog launched himself into the air, his teeth fastened into Tony's coat tails, and there he hung. Tony struggled and yelled. With a mighty effort he threw himself ovr the top of the fence. But the bulldog still clung to the toat tails So there was Tony hanging on one side of the fence, and the bulldoR hanging on the other. They looked so comical, Peggy and Billy nearly split themselves laughing. To make matters wrose for Tony, the monkey picked up a stick and pounded him over the shoulders. ' Suddenly there was the sound of tearirfg cloth, the coattails tore off, the bulldog fc.l to the ground, and Tony disappeared in chase of Syl vester. The bulldog picked himself up and darted around the corner, seeking a way into the yard. "Judge Owl is right, youll get into trouble with that Imagination Stone screamed Reddy Woodeck cr to Peggy. "You croak like V a Raven," screamed Blue Jay. "Let Princess Peggy have her fun."' The idea poped into Peggy's head that she would like to see how Reddy Woodpecker would look if he were really a raven. On the instant a big, black, crow like bird aws sitting in the tree where Reddy Woodpecker had perched. "Croak! Croak!" said the big, crow-like bird. "I'll show you what a Raven would do to a Blue Jay." With that he went after Blue Jay fiervely, and Blue Jay fled for his life. - . , I "Gracious," said Peggy, "I'd bet ter turn Blue Jay into a Hawkcso he can defend himself." Instantly Blue Jay became a hawk, but instead of going after the raven lie made straight for Judge Owl. 1 "I'm hungry," he screamed. "I want an owl fomy supper." Peggy waS1 frightened for Judge Owl's sake. "Make me an eagle," hooted the Judge. "Eagle! Eagle' cried Peggy, and RECUPERATION of the, vital forces of the body, depleted in the struggle with acute disease, depends not upon super ficial stimulation but upon ade quate nourishment? The body needs to be nourished back to strength and power.

Scott & Bowse, 81oomfie!d, IT. J. 18-ie "YOU CROAK LIKE A RAVEN," CRIED BLUE JAY. Judge Owl was transformed into the fiercest-looking bird Peggy had ever en. He made after the hawk and the hawk made after the raven. Away they flew into the distance, but there floated back a warning from the raven. v "Trouble! Trouble! Look out for the Itfiagin'ation Stone 1" Soon Peggy was to realize there was real cause for the warning. (In tomorrow's chapter It will be told how Peggy and Billy Belgium are changed Into animals.) That Love Interest "Give me r book on how to write letters," demanded a dreamy-eyed youth in a ,war camp library of the American Library association. Then he added shyly, "I want it half for a lady and half for a gentleman." There was not much trouble in diag nosing his case, which is a common one, the librarians say. "Love stories are very popular with the soldiers," reports the libra rian at Camp Travis, Tex., "especial ly those with a happy ending. The soldier, far from home and the only girl doesn't want to read anything that will lower his spirits or make him imagine things when letters are delayed." Some of the younger soldiers, oddly enough, profess to scorn the tender passion. They like adven ture, sea stories and Indian tales. One such in a New Mexico camp selected a book, walked out with it, looked at the frontispiece in which a charming young woman was the central figure, and came hurrjedly back. "Nothin' doin'," he remarked bitterly to the librarian. "I have to have live stuff." "Give me the bad stuff," said an other of these youngsters, meaning the wild west variety of literature. "These soldiers here are very young," writes the librarian. "Most of them are 16, 17 and 18 years old. They all enlisted, and are as undis ciplined as jack-rabbits." Jewish, Welfare Board . - . OverseasWorkers Thirty-six Jewish Welfare Board workers, both men and women, will I Si. ' . 1 oe ovetseas wunin a monin, accora itig to an announcement made -today by Col.
