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.

Slip-Over and Other Styles in Blouses a a /\ y.-Tr ■■ n is**- ml v ** \ wSfffcrfyL.l # I WV IriF z.H — 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.

The second blouse is a model that has proved successful made of silk and of the sheer cottons, as voile, batiste, organdie, with a shirt front, collar and cuffs of cross-tucked white organdie set in. In the picture it is made of cross-bar voile in china blue with white organdie. 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.
