PERSONAL CANVASS MADE DURING WEEK

Every Effort to Be Made to Sell All Local Red Cross Seals.

A personal canvass of busness firms und individuals, w'll be the feature of the final utage of the 1911

holiday campaign against tuberculosis, according to the plans announced today by Dr. S. Edgar bond, aecretary of the county anti tuberculosis bo :iety. The white plague fightera have met with auccesn bo far in their attempt to mine funds for the work through a sale of Red Cross Christmas &ou1h, and at the beginning of the final week before the holidays, expect to break their past record and make a big stride forward toward the latilshlng of consumption from Wayne county. Profound ignorance among many prominent business men regarding the the purpose of the present campaign has been one of the startling discoveries of the seal venders. Th head of one local business establishment today doubled his already large order Vhen he was told that 75 per cent of all the money received from the sale of seals was to be applied directly and Immediately to combating the disease in Wayne county, only 25 per cent being given over to the natonal organization. In illustrating the need for a special place in Wayne county where consumptives may be segregated and given proper treatment the secretary of the county society today told the circumstances surrounding a few of the many plague victims who are slowly dying because of lack of projher care. He tells of one young shop worker, supporting a wife and two children, who is Just contracting the disease through confining work In a Richmond factory. This bread-winner s rapidly losing flesh and becoming discouraged, his only hope now being relief from the county society. However, the county society has not any money to spend toward curing this man. but hopea to toelp him If enough Red Cross stamps are sold. There Is a tuberculosis sufferer quartered in the kitchen, and a typhoid patient in the nly other apartment of a poor Richmond borne. It Is a' sad fact, says Dr. Bond, that a large majority of the white plague victims here are bread-winners. "Isn't it cheaper," says Dr. Bond, "to spend a small amount curing these people than to' have the expense of burying them and raising their children fall on the public?" As the Initial step in Its final seven days' campaign before Christmas, the society Is placing today 10,000 Christmas seals in the local post office. Main street merchants who are vending the stamps have promised to make a special effort to Interest throe Indifferent and slow-moving public, and It is expected that practically the entire supply of 45,000 seals will be exhausted soon.

FADS AND FASHIONS

Plain and striped velvets are being featured prominently among the emitallored and tailored costumes. Two piece suits and the favorite one piece afternoon frock of velvet will have a place In every fashionable woman's wardrobe. Buits of plain one-tone velvet, or striped velvets showing two tones, trimmed with fur or elaborately braided, are very much in evidence. Some of the smartest of these have high collars that close about the throat la military effect, and these are often finished with a big revers on one side of the front. The very large shops carry large assortments of separate blouses in all the popular shades and colors that are found In high-grade suitings and It is comapratlvely easy to find a blouse matching in color and material either coat or skirt. The designs are admirable, even In the cheaper waists. Simplicity is the keynote of the smartest blouses. Many are cut with kimono sleeves, although the newer fashions show long sleeves, fitting the arm very snugly at the wrist and frequently showing a frill of lace or net falling over the hand. Large collars of lace and net are worn over the plainer blouses. These are square or pointed in the back and have the fichu effect in front, crossing Just below the bust and fastening under the girdle. Hand-tucked blouses showing touches of fine embroidery are the very acme of refinement and good taste. Chiffon or marquisette, embroidered

and tucked by hand and mounted over a contrasting color, makes the most

beautiful of all the costume blouses. Black and white is a great feature

in gowns, especially when combined with a coral tone or coral Jewelry. Most fashionable materials are rich and heavy. Tailored costumes are made up of thick wooly goods, and for its and dresses even plush is used with heavy chenille fringe as trimming. While skirts are taking on a wrapped drapery which really cuts their length, coats are growing perceptibly longer. The winter hats fit more closely about the face, the trimming is higher, and black velvet seems to be the most popular material. The skirts to the evening dresses are long, most of the mhave trains and the trains are usually made in the long court length. Double-faced materials are used a great deal for coats and skirta

IS GREAT FUN. It is such fun to disburse, and Christmas gives the most economically inclined a splendid excuse for exhausting the exchequer. Whole families of fathers, brothers, sisters, aunts, grandmothers and kiddies are having the jolliest sort of times these days hunting just the right gifts for each other. If they only knew it, the Joys of untying the dainty packages on Christmas morning will not be half the fun that will come with the tying-up parcels for other people's stockings.
