It would seem aa though there wa
any amount of knitting being done for
personal adornment besides tluit which
tht women are doing for the soldiers.
It la bard to understand, write a
fashion correspondent, Judging from
tba amount of work that the women
are turning out for patriotic purposes,
where they find the time to work for
themselves, but there arc, nimVthe
Imm, all kind of new designs 'and
stitches bflug talked about tlmt have
no place In the knitting outfit of the
soldiers' kit.
Sou have doubtless seen or heard of
the sweater made of narrow ribbon
and If, perchance, you have not awn
them you may bo interested In know
lug that wlill" the Million la narrow
and of tile width usually referred tc
a baby ribbon the texture of the rib
bon does not lit the least resemble
the nuUii baby ribbon, but U of a
Ioono weave aud crinkled In appear
an re,
I tmve been told by those who make
thine sweater that It requires from
600 to 1,CH)0 yard to make one of
the sleeveless ribbon sweaters; thus
Dnt roust draw the conclusion that
thete are not inexpensive affutr. Any
way, they are lovely to look at and
many of ua will have to be broadmlud
ed enough to be content with looking,
It 1 very aelilora that one sees one
of these rlblMin aweatera that Is made
entirely of the plain knitting stitch;
while part of the sweater nmy be
plain, the design Is varied by a bor
der done In plain and purl at the
shoulders aud the lower part or at the
waistline. There Is one of these
which bus been very popular with the
entire sweater made by knitting four
and purling four. This rule of vary
ing the design of the sweater also
holds good for thou mude of wool.

Parisian Bedroom Negligee, Brought
Over by War Workers, Finds Fa
vor In America.
The bouse of I'aquln Invented a
bedroom negligee that waa cut like
a medieval garment with square
I sleeves. It was made of satin, trim
mod with lace and fur, and slipped
, on over the head after the fashion of
I a OIiIiicho tunic. It was far more
! modest and becoming than the usual
; negligee which is open In front, and
far more protective against chill airs.
The war workers, who brought It
over from Paris as a novelty have
found that It is already copied In our
shops and sold at one-third the prlco
paid for It at the house of i'aquln.
It Is the new successor to the room
robe that has existed for over a cen
tury, and It promises to become the
popular garment of tho moment.

"Oh, are youT Are you?" cried I1U
da, sprightly. "How glad your folks
v. Ill be to see you!"
"Father Is dead," said Bart, "but
mother Is living, and I've 8rt of spied
out the fund before I ventured to let
her know I was around. As I said, I
was a reckless one until a year ago.
I had gone to prospecting. Bad as
ever, I trained with a hard crowd. One
day I took a drop too much, and a tum
ble, I went Into a pit It must have
been over fifty feet How I escaped
being killed I couldn't reckon out.
When I landed It was on a soft bed of
sand on my knees."
He spoke the last words solemnly.
A strange, spiritual expression came
Into bis eyes and Illumined his face,
until llildu was fascinated la an In
tense, hypnotic way..
"Yes, on my knees," repeated Bart.
"There I was naved by the Almighty.
I wus. as I had been at mv mother's
side way back In childhood. All my
bad life flashed upon me. The words
of 'Now I lay me down to sleep' drift
ed dreamily through my mind. I
couldn't stir for over an hour. All the
time some new spirit seemed to come
over me. Young lady, I crawled out
of that pit weuk and broken a new
man."
"Oh, how glad your dear old mother
will be when you tell her all this i"
cried Hilda.
"With good oehavlor came good
luck," went on Bart tersely. "I struck
a rich mine. I saved. Instead of
squandering. I'm going home a pretty
rich tnun, und my money will do some
good, for I found my mother poor and
neglected. Pin still queer In my no
tions, young ludy. I know what moth
er will say when she sees me coming
back."
"What?" urged Hilda breathlessly,
as absorbed as though listening to
some entrunclug fairy story.
"Well, mother Is biblical, and it
would be Just like her to say, In her
gentle, kindly, forgiving way: 'Prodi
gal son, you are welcome, and for you
shall be killed the fatted calf.' But,
you see, poor old soul; she has no
fatted calf. And your Whltey struck
my funcy. And I thought I'd buy her,
lead her to the old home it's only
ten miles across the country and say,
'Mother, I've brought the fatted calf,
and a bag of gold, and my worthless
self, all at once back home.' "
"Oh, she won't think you worth
less ! And what a grand man you have
been to stop stop being rough and
careless, and all that, and thinking so
much of your dear old mother ! And
what a blessing you will be to her, and
I'm so glad I met you, for you can take
Whltey, and you're welcome to her,
and it's all like some beautiful story,"
and, overcome by her emotions, Hilda
broke down In tears.
It was with a pretty ribbon tied
around her neck that Whltey was led
away from her devoted young mis
tress. Hilda hud urjfcd him to tell her the
end of tho charming story he, she, the
old mother and Whltey were acting
out. "Mother snys she nlst see you,"
reported Bnrt two days Inter, "Hilda,
we haven't known each other very
long, but long enough for nie to know
that I love you, and want you to help
me inuTse mother happy."

that same afternoon I took a car ride

winds in and around the hills and
through the rice paddies, which show

BEST LOVED ENGLISH POET
Thomas Hood Made HI Reputation at
Humorist Wrote Clever ,
Verse.
Thomas Hood was probably one of
the best loved of the English poets and
humorists, though often classed among
the "minor English poets." But every
one knows his "Song of the Shirt,"
which brought out forcibly, though
poetically, the wasted life and early
death of the overworked women, the
unfortunates of the poorer classes. His
"Bridge of Sighs' is equally effective.
These are named as his best works,
yet his reputation was made as a hu
morist He was the son of a book
seller, born In London. His father died
when he was young and his mother
moved to .Islington, where Thomas
studied under a delightful old vicar.
He tried to become a clerk, but such
work disagreed with him so much so,
Indeed, that he had to go to the conn
try to recuperate. While away he be
gan contributing light humorous
sketches to magazines and papers, and
after his return to his beloved Ldhdon
he was made subeditor of the London
Magazine.
This position brought him in contact
vith all the brilliant men of his time.
DeQuincy, Charles Lamb and others.
Later he started the Comic Annual, In
which he caricatured the people and
events of the day satire done so deli
cately and cleverly that the events he
made fun of will live solely because he
made them of Importance.
The last of his life wis spent on a
sick bed, and it was during this period
that he wrote his two famous serious
poems above mentioned.
