The large dining rooms of the McKenzie and Grand Pacific were the settings for two of the most success: ful affairs ever held here to mark the birth of the New Year. At both hostelries the national colors were used in the decorative schemes. Al the stroke of 12 the national anthem was played while the dancers stood in reverence. Fancy decorated hal- loons floated through the rooms as the strains of the national anthem ceased, giving the ball rooms the appearance of government aviation camps. Fancy headgears were worn by both the men and women guests adding much to the gaieties of the parties. The cabaret dancing party at the McKenzie last evening following the Anna Held attraction at the Auditor- ium gave the finishing touches to the elaborate social activities of the New Year season.

HOW TO KNIT WRISTLETS. There are two ways of knitting wristlets. One method makes a 124nch flat strip of knitting, fold it together and sews up one scam, leaving 2 inches open space for the thumb, 2 inches from the edge. The better way is to allow an open space at the end so there will be no trouble by getting them on up side The other method uses three needles making the round wristlets in one piece like tubing. Here are directions for the firs: method. h requires one-half yank of yarn. 2 needles are used for the flat wristlets and two pairs of ‘No. 1 needles for the wristlets made like a tube.

Early in the war the music halls rang with “Sister Susie's Sewing Shirts for Soldiers.” People laughed and the figurative Sister Susie may have’ had to bite her lips. But three years later with. America facing her war problems and thous- ands of devoted American women asking “What can I do,” I can say, “Sew.” Many thousands of women will be called on to work in factories which do just that—“sew shirts for soldiers.” But many more thousands will be called on to sew sheets and pillows and bandages, and make hos- pital robes and pajamas. The Ameri- can Red Cross chapters, city and country, have an enormous jo» before them. ‘Whr teaches us many things and © not the least of these is that service is like a chain, no stronger than its weakest link. The Red Cross nurse at the base hospital in France depends on the Friday sewing circle back in Iowa that makes its bandages with infinite care and’ patience. The mem- bers of the sewing circle may wear no becoming coifs. They are not g9- ing to have tales to tell of bursting bom»s and the death words of heroes.

Some of the very largest musical productions carry adequate orchestras. A considerable number, however, rely upon the loca house orchestras, carrying only a di- rector and, perhaps, a master of ef- fects.
