Red Cross Gets Young
Charles R. Davis' New
Victor Song Just Out
Omaha and the Red Cross are in
terested in the new Victory song
composed by Charles R. Davis, son
of Mr. and Mrs. V. E. Davis, 4203
Grant street. The young composer is
considered one of Omaha's best
cornetists and has dedicated his
I song, "Yanks' Victory" to Corp.
i Kussel G. Hughes, the first Omaha
I soldier to lose his life in battle, and
! liis very close friend. i
' Charles K. Davis is captain of the j
Central High school band and is!
! well known in musical circles for his)
; composition and cornet solos. I
i "Yanks' Victory" song has been
i given to the Red Cross and will re
l main their property until 250 copies
have been sold.
The words of the song follow:
When tht) buKle rail was sounded
And our bng had rnnrrhed away,
It was then we r.iis.sod th-Mr music
i And their laURhter. yminff and Kay;
They have sailed heyoinl our vision
1 To the land far o'er the sra.
I Dut their words come baek to me.
j REFRAIN'.
Wa fought and bled and died for Uncle
1 Sam,
' To give our all .were ready to a man.
1 We'll shout for victory, for masters are
we
Of land and air and sea.
I To safeguard home and loved ones In the
I fiKht,
Our battle for democracy was rlnht.
Victory, victory, shout for victory.
Soon aKaln we hope to see them
I In their uniforms so trim,
Shoutinft out In Joyous rupture
Strains from every battle hymn.
They have won the world's Kreat battle,
Through their bit for you and me,
And their song will ever be
(Refrain.)'

Dress Your
Letters
Distinctively
Your letters should reflect your personality and stationery should
become you and be chosen with as great care as your frocks. There
should be that air of refinement and correctness in shapes, quality, col
ors and sizes which distinguishes the choice inevitably made by the
fastidious and which carries a note of subtle charm.
One of the local stationers has a wonderfully complete line. Truly
a paper for every personality. In accord with the dignity of old-time
rugs, furniture yes, and clothes is a mottled paper like vellum made
by a process used in the day of George Washington. There are
quaintly rounded corners on the envelopes and it is shown in azure
and gray. The so-called kid finish is coming into vogue once more.
Smooth and heavy, it is altogether smart when folded to tit large
square envelopes. This conies in oddly attractive tints. "The
Raveledge," which you have probably seen, is very distinctive in vel
lum (large envelopes, $1.25 a box). "The National Hero" paper,
with gold star on white ground, is a charmingly unobtrusive way
to perpetuate the memory of a loved one who has sacrificed his life
for the sacred cause.
This shop takes particular pride in the "suitableness" of its papers
for men. The most popular of the papers they show is the "Old
Hampshire Bond" with heavy long sheets which fold three times to
slip into exceedingly masculine-appearing envelopes. This is $1.25 a
box.
Large gift boxes, of wood, daintily decorated, hold correspond
ence cards, gold edged, and a generous quantity of paper with en
velopes to match, a lovely gift for $5. The same amount in a paste
board box is $4,
All of these papers are of a well known
standard make, so you may be sure of quality as
well as infinite good taste. The same department
does exquisite work in monogramming, also en
graving. The rich gorgeousness of the gift may
be limited only by one's desire.

YOU have made many
pictures during these
war times, which, from
now on, will be historic.
Perhaps it's the boy
proudly marching away

home on leave; or patri

pressed you, or it may be
the "pictures from home"

The old standby blue serge
finds an interesting incarnation in
this serviceable dress. A deep U
shaped vest of white broadcloth is
embroidered in a chain-stitch design
of red silk. Small silver buttons are
used on one side of the vest and red
soutache braid loops on the other.
Around this U opening run two
rows of black silk braid. A leather
belt holds the fullness at the waist
line, where the bodice is cut in one
with the long tunic. Two pockets
which follow the outline of the vest
are trimmed with braid. These
pockets are faced with red char
meuse. The skirt beneath this tunic
is scantly gathered and may be
mounted on a sham skirt of silk or
mousseline de soie. A hat of dark
blue velvet its trimmed with a band
of fur which crosses the front.
Christmas Baskets.
The Settlement House association
will take care of needy families and
