These are the women whom everybody wanted tol see. The formation of the parade was in platoons, the women marching sixteen abreast.” The only mounted persons were the police who cleared the way and the Grand Marshall, and those who drove the ambulances, the women and children on the two floats, and the delegation . from the Atlantic City chapter who rode on boardwalk chairs pushed by negroes. This was a novel sight and was the first procession of rolling chairs that ever traversed Fifth Avenue. Nearly all the wrmen in each unit were dressed alike, fully equipped for service, with white dresses. whito aprons and a head dress. One unit wore the grey of the field service. Others _wore the blue travelinz uni- form. _Occasional units hid their white dresses under the Red Cross coat of nmavy blue with brilliant red lining, which made a striking con- trast among the billows of ivhite. Among them were units wearing rough and ready slickers and heavy boots, the garments they will wear in emergency work in caring for the wounded of our army ‘in Europe. There were units from all the hos- pitals made up of - graduate nurses ready for the call. and I wish to say that no unit received more generous applause than that from.the German hospital.

I do not think it too early to thifk what may be the most acceptable gifts for our friends or family. If you have a friend who has been visiting you and you took her to dif- ferent places you could send her a little book of scenes of yow:r home- town and she would be pleased with them. Pretty embroidered underwear or crocheted yokes are other acceptable sifts. There are pads for the bottom of the dressing table made of pretty flowered material. A bag of Persian silk to hang on a dressing table. The bag is about 1-2 yara long and is made of quite wide Tibbon, the end of which was drawn through a buttonhole in the bottom of the bag. A Bodkin was slipped upon the end of the ribbon, so bodkin and ribhon are easily convenlent, and it holds a rofl of lacing ribbon and this is most acceptable. The lover of pretty linen would be rpleased with a dofly cage, They are made of double circles of cardboard with ribbon ties holding them to- gether. They may be made of any iind ‘of goods. I think they are pretty made of fancy. cretonne. A very acceptable sift for some is a labor saving article for the kitchen, or something for the dining room. There are table mats, tea cosles, and jelly dish covers. Then there are coaster sets and quite a number of necessities that one does not buy themselves that would make acceptable gifts. Crocheted - slippers 1if you have friends away to school or if you have a soldler in the family that is sleep- ing outside, make him a pair of knit- ted shoes. 'Thesé are comfortable to wear nights.

Dear Social Cornerites: Growing dahlias from seeds grows from a sim- ple experiment to a masterly science and the sclentific seed selector has to follow a blind lead from ignorance to bliss. : The greatest dahlia growers say that a half-dozen prize dahlias from 10,- 000 seedling plants is about the ave- rage.

Her rewards are for those who work, and she hands out so many disappointments tq one prize that the prize winner is not to blame if he into the air and shouts for (.1 have grown seedling dahlias for it above proportions. should HOW HEZ FEELS.

Slice a firm, white cabbaze, divide the flowerets of the caulifiower, sprinkle salt over them in a large dish, or wooden tub, and set aside for 48 hours: then dry and put them into a large jar, with the Zarlic and other seasonings In the Bpil the vinegar. and pour over them: the vinegar cover the vegetables well. When cold, cover the jar. As the vegetables ripen in season, they may be added'to the jar. They must_first be washed in cold vinegar, wiped, and then simply added to the other ingredients jn the jar, only tak- ing care that they are covered by the vinegar. If more vinegar should be required, do not fail to bell it before adding fo the rest. etables are collected, turn the con- ‘When all the veg- tents of Picki the jar into a large tub. Nasturtiums—Have jars partly filled “with 'salted vinegar, as the nasturtiums are gathered, wash. and dry them and throw them into the. day# of ours, when for the first time, we too, began our school life. I think these pictures of childhood are indel- ibly impressed upon our minds, not to Dbe easily forgotten. Although the methods of instruction in our young days were not:as attrac- tive as at the present time, yet we enjoyed it, and our interest increased as_the months and years passed along. None of us can say it was all a sunny-side, for often we made our mistakes, and perhaps, were often misjudged by our teachers, yhich we endured with silence, vet they were valuable lessons to us, for later years. We like to recall, how we used to stand in_line, and “toe the chalk- mark,” either for the reading lesson or the spelling class, and as we enum- erate in our mind, the list of our early schoolmates, we ask ourselves “where are they ali today?" “I believe it is even a pleasure for us to visit the old schoolhouse, and if the room with its same desks and seats remain unchanged, we do like to see them. T repeat again, we the mothers, who have sent our children to school, and they having passed their days of ed- ucation, we think of them, as of our- selves, the first morning they trudged off to school. It is ever a pleasure to think how they come home eager to tell ‘us, some little thing, the teacher had told them which was new to them; but only an old story, with its £00d ‘moral, renewed to us. As we hear, in imagination. the 1t- tle songs they learned to sing at school. and the little poems they re- peated with childish pride, we cherish them as sweet memories. . Sad is the heart of a mother today, as she thinks of her boy, not as he stood in school, nof the flnal day, when he receivéd the diploma from high school, but-as he stands with many others. in a much longer line, all clad in the same uniform, in the service of hid; country. JENNIE. THE RED CROSS PARADE. Dear Sisers of the Social Corner: —These are the days of parades and enthusiasm. ~In previous lctters I have endeavored to make my pen pic- tures of these various demonstrations as expressive as possible, but to rev- erently describe in words the strange and noble spectacle of the enthusiastic band of thirty thousand Red Cross workers which honored Fifth Avenue on Thursday last, is beyond expres- sion in word: As 1 glanced up Fifth Avenue from Forty-second street, the lines that met my eyes were not those of khakl uni- forms, but dazzling blocks of white robed nurses—unarmed soldiers of hu- manity—each band carrying instead of a bayonet, an emblem of restora- tion, the Red Cross flag. Fifth Avenue has been decorated for many processions in the last few months, and to the Stars and Stripes and the flags of our Allies was added another, that of the Red Cross. The Avenue’ was a mass of Red Crosses. Red Cross banners were everywhere. They flew from hundreds of stafls is_rosy lllac with a yellow stripe. I would state the pot amaryllis, of which the most common is Johnsonii, is a dark scarlet with white stripes: vittata s beautifully striped, flaked and feathered. This month I shall plant narcissus, tulips and lilies: the latter must be planted six to eight inches deep. With best wishes to you all. PRUDY. STORING CABBAGE FOR WINTER.

Cut stalks and outer leaves off, leaving a layer of light green leaves. Wrap each head in paper, pack in a box and set in cellar. This way it keeps fresh all winter.
