I'M The side of the Spaniards) every
shssse5 one of US who is counted good
e,r,, is making over her old clothes, dis
.s.--.ng her maid, utilizing the upper
,.,sz-sjd. trimming her own hats, wear
40 leaned gloves and doing all those hor-
,bls ra!ngs that really are self denying
=, women. Our hearts go out TO the brave
to,.s Who are trying to get killed, and we

sounded by going to a cheap dressmaker
or drinking cheap coffee.
The other day I wrote to Jack that when
: ,o.rbt nv summer hat I tried so nearly
,o.57 what was right that was reminded
nj the story of the Frenchwoman who
wanted very quiet hat, one that was
nat roo large and not too small, not too
brisht and not TOO dun, not expensive
looking and yet not of common material
10 her the bright milliner said, with
Glance that was suggestive of wicked
ness. All. madame, understand! You
wish a hat that you can wear when you
60 out with your husband!'
Reaily, though, that story does recall
eone of the monstrosities forced on the
iovejv woman who has no maternal back
hone and who going TO seek hat,is forced
nv tbe over-complimentary milliner to
lake a combination of royal purple, mauve
and pale blue. 1t is even too much for
French lady of the lake. Frou F'rou
wouldn't have looked at it, and yet there
are American women who are fools enough
10 believe that such things are worn by
French ladies'. Why, ladies' maids would
not look at them. The bourgeois would
seorn them, and they are usually assumed
I,v the FrcnchWoman who never wears a
hat AT home, but who, coming up to visit
city cousin, carries enough goose teath-
ers to fill a couple Of pillow cases, and just
before she reaches town takes off her be-
coming alsatian bow and assumes this
monstrocity for which the feathers have
paid
Even Molly has INDUCED IN a beautiful
hit of economy but I don't think she saved
much money by it. She said, as does the
dearest baby in the world, that she had her
picture Token in il" to send to Jack to
show him that all the money was used
fof buying paper novels and medicine
chests for the soldier lads. You want to
know what il looks like? The skirt is of
pink lawn, which cost only 10 cents a yard,
and d Is trimmed with three narrow ruffies
each edged in the Frenchy way with black
satin ribbon a fifth of an inch wide,
Everybody is using velvet ribbon It's
only those who absolutely know that use
the satin. Then the bodice is made of
ecru guipure, and around the neck, which
is cut with that discreet line which shows
Mistress Moily's beautiful throat and
shoulders 10 advantage is a band of pink
Ia he s1a
the arms closely, are also of puipure and
finished with a frill of chiffon There's a
crush belt and rosette of pale green vel
Vet and Molly wears one big pink rose
In her h9ir l never knew a cheaper
frock. This is the way we counted it up;
Ten yards of pink lawn at 10 cents, 81;
ten yards of silk for lining at 50 cents,
s. (for Molly SAIL "What self-respecting
woman would line a lawn dress with any
tang but silk?'O five yards of ecru gui-
pure al 50 cents, $3.50; velvet for belt, 81 80
(7ecaUse, as Molly says, why buy silk
velvet when velveteen would look as
well?" and we all agreed with herr; for
making dress $45; total S55. Nine. Fuss
end-Feathers said she wouldn't have made
this as cheap for anybody except Molly,
who had "un brave garcon' fighting for
la jberte"
OF course, Molly could have got a cheap
et Cressmaker; but, as she said, when
. rNH+ nave OOuS44l N44CdP 4EAdkSA-A4S wv
must have somebody who can give them
az arr I forgot 10 mention 81 for the
roses 10 be worn in her hair, but that
vas i hiJ Of sentiment. She said Jack
never felt she was wen dressed for even
~ unless there was q flower in her hair,
and size wouldn't wear anybodys flowers
but his. She thought il best though, to
g., a good imitation ln4tead Of fresh
onf every day Tor the bodice.
Aiter seeirS the picture 81 sweet Molly
m her cheap frock Jack thought she must
looN TOO sweet for anything and that's
WHAT Molly thinks, because she had to give
no an the nice Things that she was used
90 60 pay her dressmaker.
There's no doubt about it, women do
C'ny themselves a great many things. By
me bye, during this last week when l
haven't been Cheering for the brave boys
OF the southland, who have been showing
what we can 40 when we are brothers and
SISTERS together, 1 have been thinking
a'out poar Mrs. Gladstone. 1 never saw
A"f pui Hlce, and thar was when the man
no was AL the world to her made one
Ol ms great speeches. She was not
"tauty She was not a great wit, but she
loved This man with all the intensity of
l'r NE ana, more than that, she be-
HtFed IN him. Any man is going TO sue
coed m life if the woman nearest his
he4rr has absolute faith in him.
Inc story may he a bit Old but a wo-
man who was there who absolutely heard
j, 'old II to me- If il is old to you, skip
''ls Paragraph. Mr.. Gladstone had been
lUaNn2 a great speech in a small town
7l' ad during this speech he touched
Il'e upon religious matters. Now, if ever
''Ie lived man whose life was pure
ans GOOD, 1t was that of William Ewart
''stone. As usual. during the speech.
N.S Gladstone was an the front row of
talts, and after it was over some ladies
~'.'ei1 about her and began to talk The
l~loas point was taken up. A very
o''e imonious looking person said: after
mere is one above who Will decide
,g an al us" Yes" cheerily answered
Gladstone, William has gone up
.iI- but he will be down in a minute.
l l2en he will make il clear to all OF
Why any man could be great If wo-
"5I peheVed in him SO thoroughly. 1t is
u.ue odd that the two great rivals. Bea-
