"Perhaps it may not be quite clear to
:-.e people of Pensacola that the work
f the latriotic League has been carried
n here without any cost whatever to the
own. The work is national in its scope,
nd was launched by the Toung Women's
hristian Association, to meet the need
f girls during the war, when they needed
ie helpful encouragement- of older wom

"The Rirls, through the Patirotic

would it be desirable that It should do bo.
But the expenses will be held at the min
imum, as In other camps conducted by
the national Y. W. C. A. The limit or
the number which can bo cared for at
the Sea-Breeze camp is from twenty to
twenty-five, and reservaton must be ror
from one to two weeks. . ...
"Already the demand for reservations
is being made, and in order that all may
be taken care of. we ask that girls ap
ply to the Patirotic League rooms as
early as possible, and register. The cost
will be nominal, and the advantages will
be unusual for a summer camp.
Sea-Breeze is fitted out with every con
venience. "There are two furnished cottages, with
running hot and cold water, two large
porches, where the girls may sleep out-of-doors
on cots if they so desire, there is
fine surf -bathing, and opportunities fr
every sort of out-door diversion.- As Se
Breeze is only ten miles from town, and
easily accessible, we feel that the f ir3t
summer camp for girls, near Pensacola
will be a wonderful success. But It can
not be. without the co-operation of the
girls. We want to make that very clear.
Mr. Keyser has given us Sea-Breeze for
the month of June, and it will rest with
the girls themselves, as to whether we
shall be able to keep the camp open for
the month of July. We are going to
make the rates just as reasonable as pos
sible. Already there is so much interest
In the camp that a number of prominent
men and women, who are, expecting to
leave Pensacola for their vacations, have
sent us checks to make this work possi
be. The national T. W. C. A. is payins
the salaries of Miss Hamilton and myself,
and are allowing us to use a small sum
we have on hand, for some of the ex
penses of the camp. This fund of course
Is not enough to meet all expense of t'.ie
camp, and even if It were, we understand
that the girls of Pensacola are indepen
dent enough to want to pay their own
expenses. This Is always most satisfac
tory. So we shal make the rate as low
as consistently possible, and then try to
give the girls the best of times such a
vacation as seems possible only, here in
Ftnsacola, where there are, so many ad
vantages for recreation. ,
"We shal have at the camp as our
guest, at all times, a trained nurse, and
we shall wish every mother to feel that
her daughter will be perfectly safe with
u. In every way, and that we shall be
constantly alert to her every vacation
nee'l, not only of wholesome pleasure but
in every other way." ;'-.;
heaviest pieces. Be sure to wipe off the
superfluous oil, as it wll -not only catch
dust, but it may also stain the carpet.
Tea and coffee stains may be taken
from white goods by soaking in glycerine
and letting stand several hours untouched
afterward washing in soap and water.
There are Innumerable uses for lirne
water, and so no home-u should ever be
without it- It is used to keep milk vessels
wholesome, to make the milk digestible,
t soften water, to sweeten drains, etc.
By beating lime water wel into olive or
linseed oil there results one of the best
Known remedies for burns and scalds.
To make lin water, put a 'lump f
quicklime as big as the two fists into a
clean - earthen pitcher, pouring over
enough clea'n drinking water to cover it
six inches deep. Stir well with a wooden
spoon, let stand half a day, and then pour
off the clear liquid without disturbing
the lime at the bottom of the pitcher.

No summer girl's wardrobe can hope
for completetness this season unless It

described in words it sould fearfully
complicated, so we took a picture for yo3.
Try -it with any old long muffler then
go right out and buy the most heavenly
shades of pink, green, blue and lavender
with which to create a declectable jacket
to -slip -over the new organdy frock!
The scarf itself is Infthe plain knitting
stitch thirty stitches wide, and-knit two
yards long, with as many variations of
stripes and borders as imagination and
taste permit. Alternate stripes of black
end white, ( or of some brililant color and
white achieves a striking effect and. Is
faulted for wear with any frock.
The scarfs are so simple and Inexpensive-
to make that one might Indulge
oneself In several to match the hues uf
different frocks.
Likewise, they are Just the thing to
put under the loose cape or raincoat to
rA a bit of extra warmth. They look
cl.arming and' an never uncomfortable
cr "bulgy" like a licavy sweater.
- But the real, art' is -in making the
tweater out of the scarf.
Look hard at the picture Fig. 1.
Begin by holding the scarf In the mid
dle right acros the breast under the
aims.
Pass the ends . under the arms, , cross
in the back (see Fig. 2 ( and bring the
crossed ends up over the shoulders.
Tuck the two long scarf ends under the
band in the front (Fig. 3). pull them down
them down even and there your are!
Chic and simple. Isn't It?
Kvorybody kn'.ws how easy It Is to knit
scarf and we have demonstrated how
easy it is to make a scarf Into a sweater
so we expect to read of a big boom in

THE thing. '
In keeping with its standard of high
efficiency, tne Pensacola Business Wom
an's Club made a further Btep forward,
when at the weekly meeting of .the club
the movement for a National Federation
-l Business and Professional Women was
endorsed. -. '
After a delicious supper, the culinary
perfection of which was due to Mrs. John
Hall, the report of Dr. Mary Noyes was
received. Dr. Noyes represented the Pen
sacola Business Woman's Club ' at the
convention In Mobile, when Mrs. Nina B.
Price, of Atlanta, delivered an address on
the federation of business and profes
sional women. . ' '
Dr. Noyes told in - a general way of
the many advantages resulting from such
a federation and of the Increase in effi
ciency and strength to be obtained from
such an association. At the close of her
report, after some discussion. - the club
unanimously declared Itself in favor of
the federation and prepared to fill out
the questlonairesto be "sent to Atlanta.
Dr. Noyes 'talked- veryJ interestingly rf
the plans of the federation, as presentea
at the convention In Mobile. .
"Mrs. Price. r herself," said Dr. Noes.
"Is a most interesting woman. Bom
India, educated In England, and the wife
of an American-soldier, who fought for
the flag, she has high ideals and has
bad a -wide experience, and seems imbued
wit hthe desire to serve and, most of a.11,
to srve efficiently.
"The object of the federation, as out
lined by Mrs. Price, is a national asso
ciation, inspired and conducted by busi
ness women who are proving by their own
careers the possession of executive abil
ity and force, . of a. standard that quali
fies them to be ; leaders ' of women.
"The federation would make its first
obligation the securing for women equal
opportunities of work and equal wage for
equal work, and would have for its pur
pose the promotion and support of every
movement looking to the advancement of
the interest's, individual and general, ot
business and professional women.
"It is believed that such an associa
tion would encourage among business and
professional women the deepenig sense of
responsibility to their work, to their em
ployers, and to their own business repu
tation, with a , consequent Increase in
efficiency. "" : :
. "It is also believed that, the federation
of1 business and professional "women.-will
stimulate the desire off wemen to train
themselves for better woTk or .more suit
able work than she could of her unaided
effort attain 'to.-
"An object to the federation will be to
supply vocational guidance and assist
ance; suggest methods of broadening of
opportunity and advancement in the bus
iness in which women may be engaged,
and to - secure and - supply information
concernig new openings for women all
over the world. :
"Through the association, from year o
year, federated force will be behind the
solution of whatever problems are in
that year the urgent problems."
The federation of the business and pro
fessional women's clubs of America is
being pushed from five different centers,
their combined territory , covering the
whole country. -;
Only clubs having 75. per cent or more
business membership are eligible to the
federation, although the individual bu3l- J
nessc woman not affiliated with any or- J
ganlzatlon may come in or the individual i
woman not in business, but in sympathy
with the movement. - '
The committee in charge of the federa
tion plan is composed of twenty-five out
standing business women of every creed
and business interest, chosen from all
over the United States.
- A meeting of professional and business
women of the state will be held in Jack
sonville, June 13-14 and the national fed
eration will meet in St. Louis some time
In July. - - '
Dr. Noyes said that one of the most
Interesting talks made at the conference
in Mobile, was that of Dr. Ellen B. Ligon,
of Alabama, who said that the women
of Alabama did not take pride in the
fact that their state stood third in illiter
acy for the United States, but that, wh!l
she felt a sense of shame for this illiter
acy she would feel' a deeper shame did
the women of Alabama fall-to support
the Federation of" Business and Profes
sional Women, for she belleve-d that this
movement was the most Important to
women which had ever been launched In
this country.
Dr. Noyes, in her brief talk, stressed
the Importance of this work. In Its rela
tion to the problems of young girls. Dr.
Ligon . ad Dr. Noyes both, rank high in
their profession, and. are agreed in their
belief that one of. the most important
phases of the work which the federation
of business and professional women would
accomplish, would be In its protection of
the young girl in her Interests.
Dr. Noyes said: "We women who meet
professionaly ;the young girl who ha
made one false step, know that that girl
Is not necessarily a bad girl. One of the
wonderful things that the federation -f
professional and business women would
do. would be to .give their aid to the
young girls of this country, who need that
aid. Through the strength, grace and
wisdom engendered by a federation of
women whose standards are high and
whose alms are for . betterment, a help
ing hand would be held out to those who
so sorely need the help of older women,"
Dr. Noyes, in discussion of the mo
tives of the federation of women's clubs,
and. the work it is designed to do, said:
"I believe that the time has come for
the . women of this country to reallza
their , responsibilities in many ways, not
only through suffrage, but by federating
the - business and professional women of
this country, in order that they may find
themselves equipped to meet the issues
that are arising, and the problems that
must be met.
A very interesting talk was also made
before the business women's club by
Mrs. J. F. Huddleston, wife of Lieutenant
Kuddleston. U. S. N., of the Pensacola
naval air station, who has only recently
returned from overseas service, where
she served as a member of the Tubercu
losis commission, which Investigated th
realth conditions of the people of war
rtrlclcen Italy and rendered such remedial
and preventive assistance as was possi
ble, in connection with the public health
education. She was Introduced by the
president of the club. Miss Frances Wanl
berg, and held the close attention of her
hearers as she told in a most interesting
manner of her experlencs while abroad.

Very Interesting to Pensacolians is this
notice, from the Louisville Courier-Jour-ral,
of recent date:

-'Under leadership of Miss , Elizabeth
Winters, for a year connected with the

several years, the service has established
many community centers in schools of the

Miss Spencer has many relatives and
friends in Pensacola. who have followed

gree , of ' interest. A Pensacola girl. at
one time a member of the faculty of the
public schools of this city, like many
other teachers of Escambia county, she
left Florida for another state, where a
teacher's remuneration is more adequate.
Becoming interested in playground worit,
for many years she has devoted much ot
her time to that and social work, m
bcth of which she has been extremely
successful, and her friends here will bo
glad of any recognition that may come t0
her. The story in the Courier-Journal,
is illustrated with interesting pictures ot
playground and school work. ;
Exclusive of other agencies, centers
have been established in many Louis

In addition, several branch : libraries
are used as meeting places for the girls"

During the war activity of the War

toward stimulating work of existing or
ganizations in the camp cities of the
United States. Girls were organized for
patriotic and war service. Problems deal
ing with the care of soldiers, taken fur
from their homes and needing eocial
work, were solved.
Following the progress of demobiliza
