I RECREATION PROVIDED
FOR RED CROSS NURSES.
To give army and navy nurses a
comfortable place in which to spend
their hours off duty, the American
Red Cross will provide special
Nurse’s Recreation Houses at all large
base hospitals to cost about $350,000,
Contracts have been let for forty, sev
eral of which are completed and some
more are under contract. The build
ing, similar in architecture to the
Coi'valescent Houses for soldiers,
though smaller provides a large and
comtorfable lounging room attractive
ly furnished and a dining room, kit
chen t’ n d laundry. The large room
will be supplied with easy chairs
and couches, tables, writing desks,
piano or phonograph and special li
brary. A complete equipment of
dishes. I nen. sewing machines, and
utensils will be installed in the ser
vice end of the house so that the
nurses may prepare special dishes or
serve meals for themselves and their
friends or make or laundry garments
when necessary.
These houses were provided as soon
as it was learned that the nurses had
no attractive rest rooms and were
obliged either to stay in their bed
rooms or to sit in a narrow corridor- 1
like space set aside for them. In some
of the camps, the Red Cross not only
has provided these houses but has
secured Cottages nearby in the moun
tains or at the sea shore, where
nurses especially in need of rest, can
go for a recuperative week-end. The
nurses keep house for themselves. At
hospitals inaccessible by trolley the
Camp Service people put Red Cross
| cars at the disposal of nurses who
wish to get away for an hour or two
from scenes of sickness. The plans
are carried out with the approval of
the military authorities who report
that these ecreation measues play an
important part in keeping the nurses
happy and efficient.

The following from the Monroe Ad
vertiser. Forsyth, Ga.. will be read
with interest and pleasure by the
many friends of Rev. Robert L. Bivins,
former pastor of Central Baptist
church here and greatly beloved
among hundreds of Americus people:
‘‘The pastor, Rev. Robt.. L. Bivins,
has, returned from a brief vacation
spent at Lifsey Springs and will
preach Sunday at both services. Sun
day will mark the beginning of the
second year of Mr. Bivins’ pastorate
and a sermon appropriate to the oc
casion will be delivered.
“The record of progress made by
the church in the past year is most
gratifying. It shows eighty-eight
members added to the membership,
fifty-two of whom joined by profes

Slip-Over and Other Styles in Blouses

—
The slip-over blouse and others that
have the appearance of slip-overs but
fasten on the shoulder, have been
steadily increasing in popularity and
their chances for becoming a feature
in fall styles are excellent. So far the
slip-overs have been developed in
georgette crepe almost to the exclu
sion of other materials, but it is cer
tain that they will be made in more
substantial silks for fall. Some of
them have a short peplum and are
belted down with narrow belts of silk
or patent leather, but these are few
in comparison with the number that
are made regulation blouse length —
that is, disappearing under the skirt
at the waistline.
For georgette slip-overs, small pat
terns in brilliant bead embroidery are
so effective that nothing has supplant
ed them for decorative purposes.
Bright colors, as emerald green, blue,
gold and rose, are chosen for many of
the blouses with peplums. They bang
fairly straight and are belted in. Their
lines and beadwork are reminiscent of
American Indian art and they continue
to be at once simple and very dressy.
With a blouse of this kind and a silk
or satin skirt, one may dress up to the
requirements of almost any wartime
function.
The blouse shown in the picture is
one of those that has the appearance
of a slip-over, but open on one shoul
der to allow it to slip over the head.
It hardly needs description, since it is
plain, except for three single box
plaits in the georgette at the front
and back. Between the plains at the

Embroidery Now the Thing.
That beaded trimming is rapidly giv
ing way to embroidery seems to be a
fashion tendency beyond dispute. It
is said that one reason why the metal
lic bead effect became so popular in
Faris and later in America a season or
so ago was because it was possible to
make use of metal filings and scrapings
from munitions works for much of this
trimming. But for some reason very
little metal trimming is coming into
lids country now and beads are scarce.
Embroidery is entirely within the
bounds of things available. Hence the
new dresses will show embroidery
rather than beads. It has been said
that there is an end to so-called
Oriental and ecclesiastical embroider
ies, that is, bright colors have been
overdone, and most of the smart
dresses showing embroidery will be
worked in threads of the same color or
in some simple one-tone contrast.
