There is a new kind of bread pud ding at least I-have become acquaint ed with it-in a1 new guise. ' And it is : delicious and at the same time easy to make. So it is altogether worth while. " More than that, it has little suggestion of the usual bread pudding. The one that. I first ate was made Of i. huckleberries, and bread and but ter.; Thin slices of bread were but tered and a buttered deep baking dish .was lined with them, sides and bot tom. Then the- dish was almost filled, with , stewed and sweetened huckleberries, cooked, of course, with out the addition of any .water. Then ' pieces of '- buttered bread, ; still very thin, were laid over, tbe top pf the huckleberries, and" the- whole was i placed in the; refrigerator for four or 1 five hours Atthe end of that -time the dry bread had absorbed the juice 'of the huckleberries, : and.; the whole Hibernian hall on " the evening of Monday' October - 1, at; S:30 - o'clock. Regular dances will .be held' twicea week on Tuesdays and . Saturdays at 8:30 o'clock, beginning October 7. This school Lhas quite ah - enviable reputa tion among the disciples of the Terp sichorean art, and its sessions will no doubt be well attended during the coming season..-- ir. - RED CROSS SIDE LIGHTS Another active day was recorded in the history of the Red Cross, when on Tuesday morning a large number of workers were present to resume their alloted tasks. During the v morning Mrs. Martin paid a fine tribute to the work and the workers of the -Wrightsville ; Beach unit. The Beach Unit was composed of members, from the Wilmington chap ter who banded themselves together to continue their activities in behalf of the Red Cross and were self support ing. With the advent of the fall they will again join forces with the Wil mington ' chapter. Beginning with the first of -October there will be a sys tematic plan of raising money for. the Red Cross through entertainments of various nature. Each ' month there will be held regular bridge tourna ments to which the interest of the public is invited. Funds are neces sary to "carry on the work and so far the work has been financed by the gifts of generous friends,-but it must continue and ways and means must be devised whereby it can .bo kept up on the. gigantic scale that it has been kept since the beginning of the war ana for the reason that it is more needed than ever and will be more in need when the U. S. soldiers get into active service. One hundred jars of . preserves, jams and. jellies, 6 pairs of pajamas, 6 hos pital bed shirts, 6 hot water bottle covers, were packed and shipped .to the southeastern headquarters of the Red Cross in Atlanta. This Was Wil mington's apportionment asked for the cantonments. One dozen comfort kits, literature . and electric fans will fol io w shortly; Eight jars of preserves given to Mrs. Toon for the regulars "; and twenty seven jars given for-. the W. I I. will be packed together with literature and sent to the fort on Friday. Prominent space has been given to the Red Cross at the Corn Show, and demonstrations will be given daily by the various committees. Every per son who. is asked, to. work in the. Corn Show, is requested to salute the lead er and receive- orders and carry them out to the best advantage for the Red Cross interests. A complete report of the . Red Cross and the valuation of the supplies sent off will be reported. A new series will be started after pctober, following this report. Mrs. Martin will visit Elizabethtown today to organize a Red Cross chap ter. WILMINGTONIAKS AT SEVIER EXJOYING LIFE TO UTMOST Mr. J. F. Mann Talks Interestingly of Trip to Cantonment. Mr. James F. Mann, who has returned to the city after spending two days at Camp Sevier, Greenville, S. C, with his son, Mr. Kenneth Mann, who Is a mem ber of Co. C. 115th Machine Gun Bat talion, formerly .Troop C-North Caro lina Cavalry. talKS Interestingly of the camp life and of the many '.Wilmington boys who are there. The camp site, says Mr." Mann. Is beautifully located at the foot of Paris Mountain, and -in area is larger, than the entire city of .Wilmington. All the boys seem to be enjoying- camp life to the utmost, and all are being trans formed into hale, robust fellows as a result of the daily drills and exercises. Mr. Mann says that Lieutenant-Oscar Peck, of the machine gunners, Is in his element now, and getting all there is coming to him. Lieutenant Wilbur R. Doscher, who went away as an infan try officer, has been transferred to this unit as a lieutenant and seems to have a superabundance of "pep." The members of Company C are very proud of their commander, Captain Thomas J.- Gause .add every one of them swear by him. Mr. Mann was greatly impressed with the camp and Its varied activities. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS Mr. Jackson Johnson of Brunswick county was a business "vlgltor In the city yesterday. . ' Mr. Whitney Smith, of New York City, is a guest at the . home of Mr. W. A.

' . - Our old friends, Mutt - and;. Jeff, of the' daily cartoons -appeared , in .person at the Academy of ." Music yesterday afternoon and - last night, .forming the main battery of "Mutt . and Jeff : Di vorced," a rip-roaring musical com edy, featuring" a, laugh producing plot, and a bevy of shapely" and languorous maidens. They were greeted with al most capacity houses at both perfor mances. . ' - " , -; The audience was too well-educated by the pencil comics of our well known friends, not to take them with approval. A ludricous Mutt and a ridiculous Jeff capering on a sheet of print paper is almost t always a side splitter, but they are not a circum stance when compared with a . real Muttand a sure enough Jeff talking audibly and performing all of their characteristic stunts right before the eyes of the audience. The audience realized that fact .too, and was? Sot long Trt yletting' the actfors know about it either. Lajighter and beauty were the tWo main ' features of the show, which undoubtedly drew the biggest houses of the season thus far. Aside from, the leading characters, who would draw a laugh on their rep utation, even if they possessed but little histrionic ability, and they cer tainly did. Miss Marjorie Manville as Mrs. Mutt was perhaps he favorite with the Wilmington audiences. This young lady in - addition to her other charms displayed as much lack of backbone - as a contortionist, as she did simon-pure backbone in shaping the policies of her better half. Of the male ensemble the palm went tofeMr. George Betts as Harry Van Al len, although the entire company gave a good account of itself. : The next Academy attraction will be Mitzi in "Pom-Pom," which is bill ed for Saturday matinee and night. FASHION SHOW ATTENDED BY MANY AT BON MARCHE Hundreds of Wilmington Ladles See Unique Demonstration. The demonstration of new styles in ladies 'apparel at the Bon Marche yes terday morning and afternoon by rep resentatives and professional models from Peck & Co., of New York, was attended by hundreds of Wilmington ladies who evinced the liveliest inter est in the showing of coats and suits and dresses ,and admired the; lovely young" ladies who daintily paraded - up and down the long aisle uetween rows of eager spectators, swinging tolhe lilt of music furnished by the Whit-lock-West orchestra, and capturing the audience as much by their winning ways as by the gorgeous raiment they were showing. . They, were generously applauded. In the party demonstrating Bon Marche fashions were Mrs. Dunlop, Miss Minick, Miss May Kernan and Miss Peg gy Doland. The two latter have been movie stars,' Miss Kernan having been with Pathe and Miss Doland with the Universal. Both have been prize win ners in beauty shows and would have been, yesterday If the Bon Marche event had carried prizes. It was such an utter feminine affair that no mere man is expected, to write properly ofthe entrancing scene soft lights, decorations hundreds "of pretty faces, music that set feet to tapping, beautiful garments beautifully dis played It's too much for. this type writer, accustomed as it is to pound out prosalcly the prosaic news events of a day. Mr. Louis Lipinsky, in his greetings,- said, "Ladies and Gentle men " and then half whispered to him self that there was & decided absence of men. The latter were so pitiably few they had to look In the big mir rors to kfil themselves into believing that they had company, and - felt com fortable and at home. Coming .from . the world's greatest center of fashion, displaying both Parisian and American products, and understanding to the nth degree the are of presenting the beauties of a beautiful costume ,the ladies giving the unique demonstration admirably succeeded in their mission to empha size the fact that the Bon Marche. has a wealth of the latest fashions in wo men's wear, that its offerings combine authentic r styles with superb work manship and fabric into "creations" in feminine - raiment that are tailored poems. - - "SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE." Lleuts. Parmele, Solomon and Latimer Reach Other Shore All Right. Lieut. Charles B. Parmele, of this city, a recent graduate of the officers' training. school at Fort Oglethorpe, has written relatives here that he has safely arrived on the other . side and appears well satisfied with the life "Somewhere in. France." It will be recalled that soon after the completion of his training at Fort Oglethorpe, he and Lieutenants Empie Latimer and H. M. Solomon, also . of Wilmington, chose to go at once to the scene of action in the fight for world democracy, and they .were as signed to a concentration camp in the North. . - Little was heard from them for sev eral weeks and now a letter reaches this side that Lieut. Parmele has ar rived and an undated vlelegram to Mr. Ike Solomon from Lieutenant Solomon gave the good news that the latter had safely landed, and it is presumed,-, of course, that Lieutenant Latimer like wise reached LaBelle France in safety, though military news is so closely guarded by the government that it is impossible to speak,mote than in gen eral terms of what" Is oing on. Wil mington is proud of - her first -off icers to reach the other side and wishes them well in their work of swatting the kaiser. COMMITTEE 19 -NAMED V ...... BY W, L., I.

FRENCH WAR STORIES MAKE BLOOD OF BOYS BOIL. Scraps a Letter From a Wilmington Yonnc: Man "SOmewtere." A letter from a Wilmington young man at a training camp carries var ious Items, of interest. .Speaking of the value5"' of previous military exper ience, he says that men who have had experience say it is of little or no value to them because modern warfare has changed the character of everything. "Of course, they are more disciplined," he writes, "than we who have had no experience up to this time." He writes that men are being sent home each week because they fail in some particular to measure up to the standards set for them as prospective officers. And no reason is vouchsafed unto them why they are not desirable. For three days recently the boys dug trenches from 7 A. M. to 4:30 P. M. "It would be a revelation to you how complete they are," he says. "Ex perts sent here pronounced them the best "n America." Three other days there was a sham battle.
