VELVETEEN IS NEW FOR STREET WEAR

SMALL RUSSIAN IS PROTEGE OF YANKS

Two letters from L. Sprouse of Co. F, 339th Infantry, with the American Expeditionary Forces in Archangel, Russia, have been received by his Bister, Miss Bessie Sprouse, of 21 South Fifth street. .

I Sprouse wrote on -November 10 that

his company had been ordered to the front, but owing to some guajd duty he had been performing he had been ordered to remain, behind. Later that day he said the Bolsheviks had ordered them from the place, but "I think we wilf stay here, however, until peace is declared." "We have a little Russian kid here with us," he said. "He came into camp one day half frozen no stockings and very hungry. It is about all the whole company can do to keep him supplied with cigaretts and he is only eight years old; smokes like an old man. We have drilled him and he is better than some of us. He tells us English is 'nit dobra,' meaning no good ; but that we Americans are .'dobra' (good). But when we showed him some pictures of the buildings In New York he assured us that he was going back home1 with us. as Russia was 'nit dobra.' I see where he is right. The kid stays around with us all the time. Harry Sauer got him stockings, and we are trying to have a suit made for him. "My best to all." An excited postscript is added to the letter saying that word has just been received of the signing of the armistice. "We have the word that Germany has laid down. Hurrah! Hurrah!"

On November 17 he wrote: "We have some hope of getting home one of these days since the fighting is over in France, but we are still fighting here. They may however, put the Regulars in here, and they can

Just as soon as they want to, so far as I am concerned. I do not want to stay in this country a minute longer than is necessary, and we are all waiting for the day when we can pull into New York harbor. "Am sending you a few pieces of Russian money, but do not mistake them for stamps, which they look like."

WOMEN- WORKERS ARE URGED TO REGISTER

Nearly four times as many positions were open as there were registrants at the Women's Division of the United States Employment Service, in the month of December. Calls are made every day for women workers, and few women register. Miss Fisher, head of the department, said Friday that she thought the reason for this is that women do not sm to realise

I that any aid that they might get at

this office or through It is free-of charge. There Is no fee of nay kind attached. Women who may quit working in the factories are asked to register. Domestic help is needed very much. Other kinds of work can be obtained for women also if they wi anly call at the office in the Com3tock building or telephone 1477. The average positions given out a month during the time that the Wom-

i s Division has been created is rat cut thirty.

Such Women Just Have to "Give Up" "Man may work from sun to sun, but woman's work is never done." That's why women are overworked, nervous, all run down, no appetite, and can " hardly drag around." Vinol creates a hearty appetite, strengthens the digestive organs, induces sound sleep, invigorates the nerves, and in this natural manner creates working strength.

Narragansett Pier, R-I. I was all run-down, back ached, and tired all the time. I keep house for my husband and four children and "could hardly keep around. Finally I tried Vinol and It has restored my health and helped me wonderfully, so I recommend it to others who are in

this condition." Mrs.HannahKandall.

Jacksonville, IIL "I keep house for my little family, bat got into a weak, nervous, rundown condition, tired all the time and no ambition. My doctor told me tc try Vinol, and in a week I felt like a new person. I am now strong again, look after my baby, and do all my housework." Mrs. G. H. Loroson.

For all inn-down, nerroui, nerolc condition, wask women, overworked men, feeble old people and delicate children, there is no remedy like Inol.

Velveteen is fast coming to the front as the fabric for street and tailleur wear. Here it fashions a trotteur frock with rather new lines. The skirt is draped a little fuller over the hips than at the ankle and falls in rich folds, thus producing the egg-shaped silhouette. The blouse is made with a" high collar which may be worn low. Metal buttons from the waist to the chin give a military air.

which sells at both wholesale and retail, "and we will never live to see

prices what they were before the war.

They were really too low in 1912,

1913 and 1914. Thev will Drobablv

could not begin to buy anything now

to retail at our present prices. We probably have not a thine in the nin.-e

that was not bought over a year ago. To get new goods we must wait for the flax to be grown before the goods can be manufactured. Most of the flax comes from Belgium and we don't know the condition of their fields. Wc hope they will get a good crop. We have just cabled a big order for goods, without price, to a Belgium firm to help put them on their feet, and we don't know the condition of their factories. We will know, but so far we have only their cabled acknowledgement."
