Carrying a gospel of mercy and

I der of St Vincent and St. Paul,
better known as Sisters of Charity,
will sail soon for Italy, where, as
Red Cross nurses, they wifl pursue
the mission for which the order
was founded, that of comforting
and caring for the sick and the
wounded.
The sisters, who are from Base

are a part of a unit to be known
as the Loyola unit, which Is firutnc

It was at the suggestion of Dr. J.
A.. Danna of New Orleans, who Is
to be In charge of the unit, that
Mrs. IMbert donated $100,000 to the
Red Cross to be twed In financing
the entire expedition. Sister

of the unit.
All Registered Nurses.
When the unit arrives In Itaty It
win be divided Into groups of ten,
each group to be In charge of one
of the sisters as a chief nurse.
Speaking for the sisters. Sister
Chrysostotn said:
We are all registered nurses
and are anxious to go across and
get to work."
When asked If they were Tolun
teers she replied:
"All Sisters f Charity are ani
ons to go, so It was necessary to
select ns. We will .have charge of
the operating room nd hope to do
our full duty la bringing the Amer

Chrysostotn. as she was a Red

the Army Hospital, Fort Thomas.

HINTS FOR CHILDREN'S
CLOTHES.
Children's garments should be
simple, substantial, comfortable and
attractive. The simple clothes cost
less, wear longer, look better and
are more easily kept In order than
the fussy articles of dress.
All garments should allow for free
dom of motion as It Is child nature
to be alive. A garment which binds
interferes with the proper develop
ment ot the child and makes him Ir
ritable. Skirt should be attached to
waists, as a band which ia tight
enough to hold the skirt la position
la likely to Interfere with the circu
lation.
Dull uninteresting colors should
not be used for children's Creases.
Even If a color does fade It Is better
to have the dress bright and attrac
tive for a time rather than to have It
always ugly. It colored material Is
soaked la salt water, washed care
fully and dried la the shade, the
color will usually bold for some time.
The proper fit of a garment has
much to do with Its attractiveness,
therefore. It Is unwise to make a
dress too large even if children do
grow rapidly. With the loose-fit ling
garments ot the present day an ex
tra tack will be all the provlaloa
needed for growth, Charlotte E.
Carpenter, Colorado Agricultural
College.
