When the talk is of richness and lux¬ ury In winter apparel, the terms nro usually velvet nnd fur. They have Joined forces in tho outer garments of jvomen and do their luxurious purt for her7 whether to provide warmth or to suggest prosperity. I'resaes, suits and coats are triiiinied with furs, and hnts borrow of nn opulent world, furs for their decoration.
One of the handsomest little acces¬ sories of dress which the season has presented appears in a cape of velvet bordered with fur nnd a hat made to always keep It company. The cnpe fulfills the mission of those beautiful scarfs which women cafry to protect themselves from drafts and to "dress up" the costume. It does not promise much warmth, but It has other virtues to commend It. This set Is useful for wear nt the afternoon concert or club meeting, or wherever one may have any need for It.
The cape pictured is made of blnck silk velvet, scalloped about the edges, and Is lined nnd piped with blue silk. A fringe of skunk fur set In between the velvet and silk lining extends till round the cape. It Is gathered with several rows of shlrrlngs at the neck, to form a narrow standing collar, and
It ties at the front with long ties of narrow black grosgraln ribbon. This
is finished nt the eiid.s with balls of the fur cnpiu'd by shirred blue ribbon

(Jrosgrnin ribbon, like the ties, Is fash¬ ioned Into a little bow with two loops und two ends and placed at the front of the hat. Small bnlls of fur, made just like those on the ties, nre sewed to the ends of the bow, and flnlsh the trimming.

.Mr. Frank L. Crocker Is chairman of the Home I)efen.4e League Com¬ mittee, and has It worked to havp all of the 2300 members of tho rnmmit- ,tee work to make this drive a great snccesB. The Hoy Scouts, thr Camp Fire Olrls, the Nassau County Wo¬ men's I'aity are al.so Important ..arts of this org-nnlzatlon work. Cnlonrl Roosevelt has promised to make onr address on the eve of the beginning of this great drive. Dr. Allen Mac¬ Rossie, nnp of tbe foremost speakers of to-day, has promised to appear on the same night with Colonel Roose- relf. The plan is to have a great general meeting for all of the work¬ ers, probably in the armory at Hemp¬ stead, whore it will be pos.slble to tnke care of the workers who will, of course, want to be a pnrt of .inch a great gatherinK. Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett promisea to give two or three reading during the cam¬ paign.
In order to get an organization of this kind under way as quickly as possible, a meeting was held In Now York and very largely attended by workers of Nassau Tounty. A sec¬ ond meeting was held in the library of Doubleday, Pake & To.'s plant at r.fird(>n City, the headquarters of this drive. A third meeting was held on .Siiiifi.-iy afternoon at .Mr. Houston's house In Manhasset; and a fourth meeting is to be held, composed of the chairtn«>n of all of the committee teams and their jirnininpnt woi-kors, including newspaper men, at the lieaflquarters in Garden ("ity, at 3 o'clo''i( Thunsday afternoon, Decem¬ ber 6th.
M '..; v(>rv plain that the people of Nassau County do not yet appreciate the importance of membership in the ran Htri Cross. There are over 120,000 inhabitants In Nassau Coun¬ ty, I'ljiioii ol' tlieso are aliens. I.,o.^s than 7 per cent of the population are now members of the Red Cross. In other counties in the State, and in otlH>r .States throughout America, the Red Cross membership Is from 15 por cent and 25 per cent up as high as 40 pr cent and 50 per cent of the inhabitants. Everybody kiiows that .N.'i.^sau County is not a "slacker county" in any good work; she mere¬ ly lias not taken membership In the Red Cross Society seriously. The Red Ci-oss members are the Army of .Mercy at home. This army is doing as valaable work as is the army in the camps or the army at the front. The Red Cros's Society has served :i-t2.'? military hospitals; it is supply¬ ing and distrlbutina: 15,000 tons of hospital and general relief supplies
mottthly. Tt h«« organlied forty-flve anrbulance companies, 5.'>S0 person* of these amhiiliince comp«nles have heen taken into the Army Medical Corps. It has nearly 14.000 Red i Crn!«s nurses, of whom 2otni are al- i ready serving in France. A million | American women are working at sur- j glcal dressings, hospital garments,! refugee clothing .ind knitted gar- m<^nts. The v«liie of their work for' the next twelve months is estimated at |40,noo.noo.
Kvery membership In the Red (Tross means more money, which means more rell«"f work, more com¬ fort, more help for the brothers, fathers, sons and dear ones now in the army or navy camps or at the fighting front on sea or land.

Get In the habit of drinking a
glaaa of hot water before

We're not hero lonK, so let's mako our stay agreeable. Let us llva well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, nnd look well, what a glorious condition to attain, and yet, how very easy It la if one will only adopt tho morning inside bath.
FoIkB who are acrnstnmed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, apilt- ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, ran. Instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening tho sluices of the syatem each morning and flushing out the- whole of the Internal poisonous stag- nant matter.
% Everyone, whether ailing, alck or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drluk a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in It to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previous day's Indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying tho entire' alimentary canal before putting more food Into the stomach. "The action of hot water and limestone phosphate oa an empty stomach Is wonderfully in¬ vigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermen'atlons, gases, waste and nclility and gives ono a splendid appetite for breakfast. A\TilIe you are enjoying your breakfast the water nud phosphate ia quietly extracting a largo volume of water from the hlood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all tlie Inside organs.
The millions of people who are bothered with constijiation. bilious spells, stomach trouble; others who bave sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complfxioiis nro urged to get a quarter pouna of limestone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost j very little, hut Is sufllclent to make I anyone a yiron.'^unced crank on the subject of iTir'do-l.at^^trv^ before break- fi-t

This black satin frock will provoke a hinging to possess It in the hcnrts of womeu who love simplicity und distinc¬ tion In their clothes. These two at¬ tributes belong to It nnd they con¬ tribute as much as richness of nuite- rlul, or more, towurd making nny dress elegant. This particular model, made up in the season's darker colors, would remain as chic and aristocratic looking as it Is lu bluck.
It is cut on long, almost straight lines, with a little hint of severity In them and it is intensely modern look¬ ing—a fashion of today for the woman of today. A straight-line loug-waisted bodice supports a long tunic with three close-set rows of shirring at the top where it la Joined to the bottom of the bodice. The tunic ia faced up about the bottooi und embellished witb 18 parallel rowa of machine stitching put In with a perfection ot workmanship that le beautiful. The bodice fastens down tha front with satin-covered "acorn" buttons and tbe aaiue kind of bnttooa, p«udent on heavy silk twist, Aolah the lung, cloae-flttlug sleeves.
