WRITES ABOUT
Passing of the Vampire
Copyright, 1918, by Newspaper Feature Service, Inc.
f J 1
She was always dressed in one of two colors Jet black or bright red. If
she was a blonde, she wore black, cut very low, oh, amazingly low, and
she had Jet ear-rings and Jet beads in her fair hair and Jet on her slippers
that glistened so alluringly, and all her bracelets and rings flashed and
sparkled like the eyes of so many "dangerous", serpents.
She was sinuous and tall, and she draped herself over the couch and
hung herself on the arms of chairs and whispered and mads large eyes
and plotted and tried to take the hero away from the heroine and almost
succeeded. It made you gasp to see how close she came to getting him,
and, although the heroine triumphed in the end and the dangerous woman
slunk away nnd tried to laugh behind her ostrich feather fan, we all knew
she wasn't laughing at all, but was really doing whatever a woman does
when she curses.
But she was always a great deal more interesting to us than te heroine.
We always confessed to each other quite confidentially, after we had gone
home and had dinner and were in our rooms with our hair hanging down
our backs, that there was something about the dangerous woman that
simply fascinated us.
Which More Dangerous, Ked or Black?
If
If she was a dark woman, she
ings and. scarlet satin .slippers. We used to have great arguments as to
which was the most dangerous looking scarlet or Jet black. We never
settled the question. I was always for the black because I am inclined
to be blonde mysel(, but all my brunette friends thought that red was a
good deal more startling and more daring, and the dangerous woman
must always be daring whatever else she was.
Then the next time there was a party we all tried to wear either
black or scarlet, and we all turned the necks of our prim little frocks down
in farther than the dressmaker was allowed to make them, and we gwt
hold of big fans, somehow, or other, and made eyes, and did our best
; to glide and slither and slide, and somehow the nice boys who took us
to the parties never seemed, to know quite what to make of us, which
annoyed us terribly.
I remember once my partner asked me very sympathetically if the
ice cream had been too cold for me Just as I thought he was going to
succumb to my fatal charms.
These late years the vampire persons has confined most of her opera
tions to the movie theatre, but, oh, how awfully busy she has been there!
What homes she has wrecked, what lives she has shattered, what cruel
heartrending laughs she has laughed, and how she has slithered and glided
and made eyes, and how the girls you see In the streets have been trying to
imitate her.
That is all over now and it is going to be all over while this war is
On, too, I believe. The fashion is health and round, honest e3S and rosy
cheeks, and strong, ' confident hands, and straightforward, snple ways
the girl we know is imitating the Red Cross nurse. If she isn't sensible
and practical and kind, she is trying to look as if she were, and that is
something, isn't It?
Red Cross Type vs. Vampire
Hurrah! I'm glad of it. I believe the next generation will be better
eff for this bit of imitation. Here's to the Red Cross and white coif, and
the clear ,eyes and the straightforward, honest look. Somehow I like the
fiO. Cross type a great deal better than I do this vampire person, don't you';
i And the .best of it is, the men seem to like it better, too. And that,
after all, is what really counts.
We women are strange folk we do like to please the men, and we
would dress anA look and act Just as much like the one being who seems
to attract them as we can, even if we hate and loathe the sight of that
sought-after being ourselves, and if that isn't unselfish, and perfectly fem
inine I should like to know what is.

Fabrics in hat making continue to be of supreme importance; Georgette,
!s used as facings on many of the new hats, generally in a contrasting color.
Large black velvet droopy shapes are stitched for several rows about the
brim edge and faced in pastel Georgette; flowers made of chrysanthemum
braid in many colors are sewn on the crown with the stems of green em
broidered directly on the velvet. These large droopy shapes have decided
' preference over all others. Some made of pastel satin have the brims en
tirely stitched, the facing In this case being of tobacco color felt, while
the Cat flowers cut from pastel color felt are plaoed arP'd th crown base.
When I was Bweet sixteen I wanted to be a" vam

we knew what they were oh, dear, yes.
We read about them in the family story paper
and once in a while when we girls had a half-holiday
we slipped away to the matinee by ourselves and
there was always some kind of a vampire in the
play if we had our way.

When the D. A. R. census of war
relief resources was taken in 1917,
individual members of Connecticut
chapters subscribed to a fund by
which board and tuition of students
from this state at the Woman's Na
tional Service schools and campr
might be paid. Three women have
taken the course; one, a daughter, at
her own expense, the other two, ap
pointed by the state regent by means
of this fund. They are Miss Julia
Kernan, instructor and stenographer
in French at Carnegie institute, and
Miss Ruby Jeneks, for three years
national organizer of Boy Scouts.
The state regent, Mrs. John Laid
law Buel, has recently appointed a
Committee to select candidates to be
sent to the training schools and
camps. The cost of a student's
uniform is approximately $11. Any
one who desires to take advantage of
this fund should make application to

CAROLINE NEUBER.
Caroline Neuber was born in 1692,
the daughter of a German lawyer,
who was very strict with her. In
her fifteenth year she ran away with
a student, Neuber, whom she later
married. They organized a strolling
group of actors, with the young wo
man at their head. She made laws
for the troup and intr'oduced better
morals among its members. In 1726
she received royal permission to per
form in Dresden and Lelpslc where
she revived ancient German plays.
After the death of King Augustus, in
1733, she went to Hamburg, but re
turned to Leipsic again in 1737, to
reform the stage in conjunction with
the celebrated author Gottsched. Her
fame spread all over the continent.
After that she traveled for several
years and on returning to Leipsic
quarrelled with rer benefactor, Gott
sched, going so far as to burlesque
him on the stage. From that time
fortune forsook her; she was com
pelled to disband the troup, and died
In great poverty near Dresden in 1760.
HAS THE CHURCH FAILED?
At the United church, Sunday morn
ing, Dr. . William Horace Day is to
discuss the important theme "Is the
Church Responsible for the Wreck
of Civilization 7" At the beginning
of the war, men said "Christianity has
failed." They discovered that was
not true. Bernard Shaw, Chesterton
and a host of others corrected the first
accusation by saying Christianity has
not failed because Christianity has not
been tried. The blame for the col
lapse of civilization was then placed
at the door bf the Church. Men
said, "It is not the fault of the Chris
tian spirit, it is the fault of religious
organization."
After the morning sermon, the
holy communion will be celebrated.
"O Saving Victim," by Tours, will be
sung.
The Community Forum sessions
have been suspended for the summer
months, subject to special . announce
ment by the president, Mr. Shaw. It
is now planned to open the regular
sessions of the Forum for the winter
the first Sunday in November.
ATTRACTIVE NOVELTY.
There is one especial novelty re
cently launched by the milliners. It
comes by way of Paris, and it has
been worn over there by strikingly
dressed women, for, bad as the war
situation . Is, there is no gainsaying
the fact that the French women are
now dressing more brilliantly than
they have since June, 1914.
This novelty consists of earrings,
Jong, pendant ones, attached to the
inner edge of the brim of the hat.
They dangle over the neck. They
are made of crystals, of filigree gold,
of colored gems, set in silver, and
sometimes of precious stones.
' Caprice cannot be eliminated, even
by threatening disaster.
To protect the hair, nostrils and
mouth from dirt while sweeping, tie
the head up in a long veil (an old au
tomobile veil is good for the purpose),
arranging It after the fashion of the
TurkiBh and Persian women leaving
only the eyes exposed.
To make geraniums bloom well in
winter they require to be kept In
small pots all summer. When you
take them Into the house In the fan
do not repot them. Raise the win
dows every day for a little, while if not
too cool and do not keep them open
too long.
GARMENT MAKING
BY THE RED
CROSS
The garment cutting department of
the Atlantic division of the Red Cross
has its own little trials. Its particu
lar job is to supply with garments
cut out and assembled all the Red
Cross chapters in New Jersey, New
York and Connecticut as fast as those
chapters send in calls for materials.
And that is no easy task.
The amount of work required to
keep up with the demand is, enormous.
Recently, in one week, more than 65,-
000 yards of material were cut into
1,600 dozen garments. To accom
plish this' the Red Cross Jias turned it
self into a factory, and highly trained
workers manipulating the most effi
cient kinds of machines make that out-
ptit possible.
Between the workroom partitions
are tables 90 feet long over which on
trolleys suspended from the celling run
various electric machines, explains
the Electrical Experimenter. One of
them is for spreading the material,
one for making stencils as long as the
table and another for actual cutting.
This last has to be guided with tire
less care. It is fitted with a revolv
ing knife razor so sharp that it will
cut through 260 layers of heavy ma
terial as easily as through one. A
single slip therefore, on the worker's
part, an instant's inattention, would
be a costly thing.
The stenciling machines, which
have little wheels with red hot points
for burning holes in paper, are time
savers. In order that there shall be
the least possible waste of material
the patterns have to be fitted into
each other with the intricacy of a clev
er picture puzzle. To do this down
the length of a 90-foot table takes an
expert worker over four hours; where
once a stencil has been cut and un
trained person can mark the same
amount of material in 15 minutes.
The department, which has been in
operation only a short time, has un
til lately confined itself to cutting hos
pital garments. Recently for the
first time it undertook refugee gar
ments as well. After devoting its
energies exclusively to these for six
days it had on -hand a sufficient stock
of garments of 19 varieties and 47
sizes to meet any orders which the
chapters may send in.

Do You Know the Beauty
Way to Brush Your Hair?
By Lncrezia Bori
" 4 ' (The Famous Spanish Prima Donne)' '
Why should the hair je brushed?
There seem to be some conflicting
opinions on the subject, so it's worth
while giving a little attention. For
unless the hair is properly brushed,
woman's crowning glory soon loses its
wealth and lustre.
Some women use the brush as
though they expected it to smooth
the hair and untangle it. This is by
no means its function. The comb is
used for the purpose of untangling
the strands and to get the hair ready
ror tne treatment of the brush.
The comb should never be used
with a swing from the roots to the
ends of the hair. That, method of
combing pulls the hair out and
needlessly Irritates the scalp. Begin
at the tips of the hair, combing a
few Inches at a time, until gradually
reaching the scalp. Then It is easy
to comb through the hair from scalp
to ends, without breaking or remov?
ing any hairs by force.
Having untangled the hair, it is
now ready for the brush. The pur
pose of brushing is simply to distri
bute evenly throughout the whole
whole length of the hair the natural
oils. Healthy, beautiful hair Is the
hair that has a lustre given by its
own oils.
Each individual hair of the head is
lubricated by the secretion of one or
more small oil glands which open
nto the channel through which it
'passes to the surface of the skin.
Now, It is the oil which gives bril
liancy to the hair, but in order that
all the hair of the head not simply
that which is nearest the oil glands
receive this lustre, it is necessary to
spread the lubricant throughout the
entire hair.
The Proper Way.
This is the function of brushing.
The brush also helps to sweep out of
the hair any bits of dust and dirt
that adhere to it. But if you would

They are wearing velvet waistcoats of brilliant colors, with white or

WHITE SAUCE.
Two tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 pint milk, 1-2 teaspoon
salt. Melt butter; when bubbling add flour, cool, add milk; cook until it

BAKED CORN
Will some one try this baked corn when green corn is in the market T
One cup cold boiled corn, cut from the cob; 1 cup milk, 1 egg, salt and pep
per to taste. Bake 1-2 hour, or till set like a custard. Serve hot!

Take 1 1-2 pounds lean pork chops, trim off all fat and put aside. Take
plates; in one put corn flour, in the second put cracker meal, and in the
third 2 eggs well beaten. Add a little salt to the eggs, cracker meal and
flour. Then take chops and dip first in flour, then ni eggs and lastly in meal.
Try out fat, and after it is good and hot fry chops until they are good and
brown.
FRICASSEED LAMB
9 .A cheap dish that is very nice: Get 3 pounds of lamb (small pieces will
do and are cheaper), boil them till tender, set away to cool; remove all the
fat and cut in small pieces; fry 2 or 3 slices of salt pork till fat is all out,
then put in the lamb and broth; add a piece of butter, salt and pepper to
taste; let it boil and then take out meat. Thicken the gravy and pour
over meat.
THE HOME COMFORTABLE
Libraries and living rooms should
have angles and niches, or as many
out of the way places as possible.
Where the plan of the room interferes
.sofas, bookcases and tables should be
so arranged to produce them.
Recesses are the charm of a li
brary; they give that seclusion that
the reader desires to enjoy when en
gaged in a good book.. They pre
vent the necessity of joining the fam
ily group around a table or a fire
place. When financial conditions
permit, care should be taken of the
mantlepiece. This shouia te or dig

ornamentation, except, perhaps, by
the way of carvings. j

WARNING! You Must Fill Out These Blanks!
get full benefit from the natural hair
oils which are tn all healthy hair,
then you must follow a regular
method of brushing;
Begin with one side of the brush,
holding the back toward the direc
tion in which the hair Is being brush
ed. In other words; if the hair on
the right side of the head la being
dressed, first hold the brush with Its
back toward the right In this way
the scalp will not be Irritated by the
bristles. When the brush is a little
distance from the head, spread it
flat down on the hair and finally
draw the hair ends through the other
side of the brush.
Some Hair Aids.
By continuing this regularly, the
whole length of the hair is adequately
brushed, and thus all parts receive
the same even spread of il that Im
parts a complete lustre to the hair.
If the hair hasn't sufficient natural
oil, some preparation for the purpose
may be applied and brushed into the
hair. Here is one:
1 dram essence cologne
2 drams odorless castor OH
1 ounce rectified spirit. - .
These should be well mixef'jOttlea

mond oil and lime water, and add
five drops of oil of lemon to
each ounce for scent. If oil of 1
lemon iBn't a favorite scent, use
oil of orange flower or oil of rer-
bena.
A good way to spread these creams
into the hair is to pour a few drops
into the palm of the hand, to dip the
end of the brush into it, and then to
brush the hair well. Don't pour the
oils directly on the hair as the oil
will soak into one spot excessively
and make it impossible to spread adequately.

Over this again a green vine has been
trained, and the bowls which hold the
roots from which they sprang are of

built into the windows are also green
and filled with bright coloring flow
ering plants.
BLOUSES REMODELED.
Wihen lingerie blouses have become
worn and faded use val lace inser
tions and i edgings which are low
priced and dainty. Cut away all
worn pieces and seams beneath the
trimming. They can be made Iarg- '
er by adding lace to front, line and
under arms, or lengthened at the
waistline by sewing lace across the
bottom, then gather on string. A
peplum of lace can be added.
