r r f , ... - v i. V The Salvation Army Lass" One of the Photographic Poses of Miss Fairchild Used in the Salvation Army's 1510,000,000 Drive. By Barbara Cravdon THE Kreat war induced many acts of sacri tico. It w,n jrlvc, pive, pive. The poM star mother, the man with the eloquent crutch er empty sleeve, the broken spirits that strew the path of statesmen poignantly recall the immolation sweetly made. Yet, even beside these who pave their all is one who has won her plnce In the circle of the gracious because she, too, pave all she had to pive her beauty. Mis3 Julian Fairchild, daughter of Mrs. John C. Fairchild of Sevr York city and Southampton, L. I., is 3 much a veteran of the prcat encounter, even though she be unscarred, as the vcrie.-t hero who limped oway from or remained behind at the Marne. Money, in those days of stress and strain, when civilization was backed against the wall by & ruflim cabal of nations, had its equivalent in puns and ammunition and medical supplies and food. Europe, when Uncle Sam took ofT his coat nd pot bu$y, was well nigh drained. Dut here, welled by the los in nations across the Atlantic, were fat stores, rich purses that must be opened. To accomplish this great barriers had to be broken down, principally the psychological wall built up by three years' reading of the carnage in Europe, rendering many otherwise soft heart damant to appeal. A 'Super Model Needed The directing heads of the government forces realized the inestimable value of feminine appeal. Propaganda mere powerful, more artistic than that ued in Europe must be carried on. A woman's face va? ne ded to personify the spirit of the Red Cross, to illustrate the sweet face of the Salvation Army lassie of the mud and blood and doughnuts, to depict the very soul of Liberty as fhe stands, a welcoming goddess, in the harbor of New York. There were thousands of models, jrirls with perfect forms and beautiful faces. But none quite fitted the bill. The girl with the 'charity" face, wan and sad, appealing and orerpewerirg, was needed. In the course of the hunt for the girl they came upon Miss Fairchild, a society damsel who had pved, strikir.ply, for various pageants and r.ad captured many a prize at society's most elaborate affairs. She had every attribute necfssary to the model. Dut, more than symmetry of form and beauty of face was the look of charity which sweetly subdued her pleasing features. No Van Dyck could have painted a more idcallic conception cf what was needed. Miss Fairchild was the very woman who must carry to the millions the appeal for Liberty bonds and lied Cross stumpf ad fui;l tu carry on the rct

At the Beaux Arts Uall She Appeared Dressed as the Marquise de Tcncin. contest. Without a moment's hesitation she volunteered. She gave her beauty to charity. And soon, in every city, town and hamlet of the United States, and even in Uncle Sam'i far insular possessions, her compelling features looked ct tha millions and opened up fat purses again and again until they were lean and the war had been Won. How many persons among the countless throngs who saw and answered to the appeal in Mis3 Fairchüd's face, as It appeared on Liberty Bond poster and flaring billboarch of other drives for money, men and munitions, knew that the model was not what they might have imagined, but a society girl, way up in the social vim. How many of them knew that she is of such account that her every movement is watched and noted in the journals of fashion and the elite. For instance, this from Town Topics of Oct. 14, 1920: "Frances Fairchild, wearing a turban piled high with glistening coq plumage, looked conspicuously smart and handsome when she came in." At this time she was a guest at the exclusive wedding of Miss Katherine Porter, daughter of the lato H. Hobart Porter, to Robert Hammil at Trinity Church. If she had the dash and mannerisms of her charming mother, wrote another society editor, Miss Fairchild would have an army of suitors ever camped on her trail. But the has always been reticent, diffident, and, because of this, her meekness seems to be reflected on her face and renders her features exactly what ü needed for the work such as she was called on to do for her country. Posters Reminiscent of 1918 "Liberty Points the Way," a powerful Liberty Lean poster, was one cf the pictures for which Miss Fairchild posed. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this or.e photograph of her, reproduced natio.-.-wide on the big posters, elicited a response of millions of dollars. It wa3 a mov. ing picture. And, because of the way she held her head, she imparted o her meek features on this occasion a grandeur that seemed to vivify the poster. It is reproduced on this page and wilJ be recognized by thousands. Besides this work Miss Fairchild was a lieutenant in the Woman's Motor Corps. While in this capacity she was asked to pose fcr a picture. "Srvicf," which represented the work of th

Incidentally, phe is still active in this body and when tho terrible explosion occurred in Wall street. New York city, was on the scene, driving an ambulance, a few minutes after. She also posed a.s "The Star of Hope" in the J 10,000,PUO Salvation Army drive and in r.or.e of her pictures did her feature.? exert a greater influence on the hearts of contributors. Those who studied it declared it to be one of tho only perfect posters ever made. It seemed to fairly exude tha spirit of the Salvation Army lass, the spirit that made this organizaticn so popular with all ra:e3 and creeds who fought with the allies across the ocean. Her society career i3 a3 bright as the flight of a butterfly. No ball or pageant to which the elite turn their step3 is successful without Misi Fairchild's presence. Sometimes it is for charity, such as the drive for the hospital at Southampton, L.

She posed as a Red Cross r.ure and greatly helped the campaign. Ono of the most striking costumes she ever appeared in was that of the Marquise de Tencin at the Beaux Art3 ball. It depicted the glories cf the regency and it a smashing hit. She was the cynosure of ail eyes. At the Blue Bird ball she was "Lumicre" and critics selected her as one of the prize winners. That was at th Waldorf at New York city Jan. 4 last. She also attracie- i much attention in tho IIere Show in 191'J when she r7d Rxd Cro-3 stani?3 to tl-j Trii.ce of Wales.
