SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 27.—"Mak
ers of Morale."
T hat is what the workers in the
war camp community recreation fund
have set out to become. A $50,000
campaign for the fund is under way
here.
'A million soldiers can retreat with
out a fight if they lack the fighting
spirit," a recent bulletin issued by the
fund workers stated.
Another bulletin said, "Let the boys
return with no scars other than the
honorable scars cf war.”
The principal effort of the fund is
to show that the country as a whole
is appreciative of the fighter’s sacri
fices. The workers take the stand
that a soldier who is left "sulking in
his tent” because of “nowhere to go
and nothing to do" will not "go over
the top” with the same zest as the
man who has been properly taken care
of at home.
The idea is to make the morale of
the American fighting man bomb
proof, gas proof, fire proof and bul
let proof. The fund workers figure
that plenty of clean recreation will
take care of this morale.
It is hoped to have the plan work
ing so well in the near future that a
soldier off duty may step into a dance
or a football game, watch a “movie,”
or take a spin about the nearest town
in an automobile, instead of being
forced to do “bunk fatigue,” with no
one apparently seeming to care what
he does.
The movement is intended to take
the place of commercialized amuse
ments that some times weaken the
fighting man in every way. On this
account it is being strongly backed
by President Wilson and all of the
( other forces of the administration.
Each person is asked to give $3 or
more. It is figured that this first
amount will keep an enlisted man en
tertained for some time under the
fund plan.
"Appreciate the fighters and they
will appreciate us.” is the theory the
fund workers constantly employ.

Bustle Frocks of Today
— - —.— --— ■ —" - - — 1
The frocks of today that have an ar
rangement of drapery at the back
placed a little below the waistline are
called “bustle” dresses. This is merely
by way of identifying their style. In
stead of drapery several rows of ruf
fles across the back, In the right posi
tion, entitle a frock to he classed in
the distinguished group of bustle
dresses. They bear about as much re
semblance to the bustle dress of the
seventies ns an automobile does to a
spring wagon. In nearly all of them
an overdress is draped und worn over
an underskirt made of the same ma
terial or of a lining goods faced up with
cloth like Hie overdress. This seems
to be the easiest way of managing the
drapery. Some beautiful models in
velvet are shown in which the ton
neau skirt and bustle back have been
combined in once-piece frocks that are
marvels of chic style.
A quaint two-piece frock made of a
wool twill brings the bustle to mind
with a deep, double fold in the goods
across the hack of the overdress and
tlie material gathered in under the sec
ond fold. A tit ted bodice, with basque
at the back, Is n suggestion from the
same era as the bustle-back. At each
side a wide belt buttons on and ex
tends about the waist. The plaitt
sleeves are narrowed along the fore
arm and ftt. snugly. They fasten with'
four button*; and buttonholes. Plain
bone buttons are in keeping with the
practical character of this dress, ami a
detachable collar of crepe de chine
finishes the neck that Is higli at the
back and has a short v-shnped opening
at the front.
“Bustle-back" has quite a wide ap
plication and covers almost any sort of
fullness or drapery arranged across
the buck of the dress or coat. Vel
veteen suits with fitted coats art* very
smart with the short coat portions cov
ered with narrow ruffles. These are
seant across the front and sides and
fall at the back, set on In rows with
Hues lifting toward the back, so that
the suit has the same effect as a bustle
frock, when the coat Is on. The ten
dency Is townrd narrow, plain under
skirts and draped tunics rather than iD
the direction of one-piece frocks, when
the style featured is the bustle-back,
but in view of the success of tills new
departure we may expect many devel
opments of It. I
