And the difference Is just as noticeable at these popular prices as it is at the higher prices. In a word, they have something which clothes made by any other process have not got. It, is noticeable in their appearance—in a certain propriety of line that tells the tailoring. It is noticeable in the fit—in the friendly Masonic grip they have on the figure. And it is still more noticeable in a way they have of hanging more like an original belonging than a fatuous addition.

The Red Cross nurses are like mothers | ‘Tell dear mother to go broke giving a! her money to the Red Cross. ‘There's no red tape about them. They just take ¢are of you and take ‘care of you right. They have tho re- pct and regard of every soldier in France.” oa Corpl, Turner was wounded by the | second shell cropped into Paris by the German long range kun on Good Frid He had jiyat returned from |the front, where he had been acting }as a sniper, and was back in his old place with the Chief Paymaster of hi corps. With every other available American he was rushed to the de- Molished church to give first ald to the wounded and to care for the desd. His work was finished when the second shed fell within fifteen feet of him, Eight persona were killed outright end more than a score wounded. Corp. Turner was struck in the right breast by a fragment, of the shell und hurled unconsgious twenty feet or more. He awoke in a French base hospital, The frag- ment had pierced his Overcoat, inner cont, sweater, cigarette case, pocket- book, flannel shirt and an under- shirt, and penetrated through the floating and adjoining rib, and lodged directly under the right lung. As soon as it was learned that an American was in the hospital the Red Cross officials removed him to their hospital, and the Red Cross nurse into whose eyes he looked was his former school teacher from Cleveland, O., where the family formerly lived Corpl, Turner enlisted with the ma- tines when trouble was expected with Mexico, and went with them to Vera Cruz. He went to France with the first American Expeditionary Force. Ho is twenty-three years old. He wrote that the doctors wanted to send him hom but that he was going to stay to the end of the war. He sent to his mother his cigarette case and pocketbook, which he says undoubtedly saved his life, and the plece of shell, which is about the sizo of two 45-calibre bullets, to his father. And his father went down to the Allied Theatrical House management this morning and told them his theatre would turn over to the Red Cross the entire receipts to-morrow without de- ducting an nse SIGHER FACTORY GOES | 100 PER GENT.
