There is in New York what is known as the Scarlet Band which is likened to white slavery. Margaret Holt and her brother, Victor, have set out to save young girls and it is at one of those meetings that the girl kills a man more in self defense than for any other particular course. She escapes but her brother is cap- tured by the bhand and one of her aims in after life is to obtain freedom. She obtains employment with Clavering, a criminalologist, and also makes the acquaintance of Jack Howel, a newspaperman, to whom she | makes known her troubles and he | | Murray cast assists in bringing about the freedom of her brother and the capture of the entire band.

He followed the line of-action in the murder so close- ly that she realizes that it is her own story that is being told and before the narrative is completed she breaks down and admits all. There is no punishment for her and the acquaint- ance with Howel is ripened into strong affection the audience left to think of a coming weddin Mr.’ Birch played Clavering which is the best part of the piece.

Miss Callaway had the part of Margaret Holt which she played with the proper degree of care and emotion, and Mr. Cross who was the newspaperman was witty and thorough in his work.

It can be made appropriately from wool or from cotton or Eom linen. It is per- | fectly simple, can be laundered with ease, | and it is well adapted both to school and to | general wear. On the figure, the material | 1s a very beautiful plaid cotton éponge, | with trimming of linen in plain_color. | In the back view, white linen is trimmed with rose color, and it would be quite possible to use plaid wool material with plain colored silk to give one color effect and a plain challis or cashmere trimmed with some plaid ‘or striped material to | give the other effect. The body portion | 1s just comfortably full. The skirt 1s made in three sections. The pockets are ar- ranged over the fronts and the front edges are buttoned together for their entire length. For the 8 year size wil be needed 4 yds. of material 27, 27¢ yds. 36, 234 yds. 44 in. with 1% yd. 27 in. for collar nld cuffs, or 3{ yd. for collar, cuffs and t. The pattern 8525 is cut in sizes for girls from 6 to 10 years of age. It will be fnailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of cents. | SN 8526 Two-Piece Tunic Skirt, i 24 to 30 waist. | Undoubtedly the long, full tunic over thy narrow foundation makes a favorite skir: of the Winter. Here is one that can b treated in two such different ways a really to mean two different patterns, With the closed front and the straight lower edge it gives one effect; with the open fronts and the pointed lower edge it _is practically transformed, yet the difference in cut is so slight that the one attern provides for both. In the largest illustration the skirt is of white silk faced with black velvet and the tunic is of net trimmed with 1ibbon, but if crépe de chine or silk, or any other material that is not transparent is used for the tunic, the skirt can be made of a lining ma- terial, faced either with material that matches the tunic or with a contrasting material. The skirt itself is in two pieces; the "tunic is straight and gath- ered, consequently, the skirt while an exceedingly smart one 13 very simple and easy to make. It can be finished at either the high or at the natural waist line. For the medium size the skirt will re- quire 3 yds. of matenial 27, 25§ yds. 36 or 44 in. wide, and the tunic is yds. of ma- terial 27, 334 yds. 36 or 214 yds. 44 in. wide. To face the skirt and trim the tunic will be needed 9% yds. of velvet ribbon. The pattern 8526 is cut in sizes from 24 to 30 inches waist measure. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashicn Department of thi:, paper, on receipt of ten cents. Between one military suit and another military suit the real differ- ence lies in the coats. iTor while the skirt. may be a flaring affair pro- duced by a circular cut, pleating scheme or a mingling of circular and pleated sections, the eye is promptly attracted by the coat. Something hauntingly familiar there is about a new little cutaway jacket which surely is not being worn by the soldiery now in conflict. Yet you have seen it before, and when you accidentally open one of the children’s schoolbooks you realize that a general named Washington wore something like it. But where his coat was a frivolously colored af- fair in pale buff and light blue, the one which goes with a box-pleated a & Makes Stubborn Coughs : Vanish in a Hurry Surprising;ly Good Cough Syrup Easily and Cheaply Made at Home 1f some one in your family has an ob- | stinate cough or ‘a bad throat or chest * cold that has been hanging on and refuses to yield to treatment, get from any drug store 2% ounces of Pinex and make it into a pint of cough syrup, and watch | that cough vanish. i Pour the 215 ounces of Pinex (50 i cents worth) into a pint bottle and fill i the bottle with plain granulated sugar syrup.

They have a remarkable act and the “fl.rst ! nighters” enjoyed it immensely. The performers are dressed as gladlators. They exhibit wonderful strength and do a number of novel stunts while | perched on the ladders. !
