THE GIRLS SHAMED THEM.
Connecticut Company Reconsider,
Its First Decision

Danbury Conn, April S0.-Shamed by
the outspoken criticism and haunting
words of the young women in this city
and some of the older ones. the members
of Company G, Connecticut National
Guard. have changed their minds about
volunteering to serve their country. and
instead of meeting the call with refusal
will turn out to man. The indignation
among the young women, including the
fifteen hundred employed in the hat fac
tories here, as well as those who move
in the best society. was caused by the
action of the company at meeting held
in the armory on Monday night
AT this meeting Capt. Vincent King.

the company that they wouls probably be

luctance to place themselves at their
country's service arose the moment the
question was asked, and. when a vote
was taken, only twenty men signified
their willingness to go wherever their
services might be needed.
All the others declared their readiness
to defend the country, but said they

ThoughtfuI Criticisms.

Every year one realizes more and more
the enormous influence for good possessed
by the restful, gentle woman. whose vO-
cation in life seems more to be than to
do who has the time to understand and
sympathize with the needs of others.
whose work in life seems hardly to be
beyond her own gate. and yet who seems
to leave the unmistakabie stamp of her
own individuality on everything and
every one she comes near.
The ancient practice or looking on mar
riage as the sole aim and end of a girl S
existence has OF necessity been given up
and it is therefore. essential to the com
fort of the dowerless young women that
they should be fitted to make their own
way in the world The need for prOtita-
BILE employment has long been recognized
but the stumbling block to obtaining it
inefficiency-is quite overlooked by those
who impetuously long to rush with a
cheap smattering of knowledge into an
already overcrowded market.
Home is sphere that requires more
saintliness more seIf-discipline, than the
easy task of any definite outside work
such as a profession; the latter may be
hard work. but it Will still be. in a sense
self-indulgence, because 1T gives free
scope to our secondary nature, to the love

Nurses in the Army.

England does not agree with this coun-
try that men are better nurses than wo-
men," says a member of one of the re-
lief corps. "A body of trained nurses
would indeed be valuable aid to the
medical and surgical departments of our
Army and Navy.
''In England the government established
a training-school where women were to
be educated for the army nearly twenty
years ago. The Queen founded Netley
Hospital after Florence Nightingales
work in the Crimea.
Nurses have TO spend five or six years
in training. which is exceedingly severe
and when they are graduated they wear
a uniform and are part of the British
army. They must respond at a moment :
notice and with little baggage, TO go to
any part of the world where they are
needed. They take the sufferers home
from plague-stricken lands and from bat
tlefields. and perform all the arduous du-
ties of an army nurses life.

Troubles for TailOrs.

Tailors who enjoy feminine patronage
find there are many drawbacks to affect
the increase in prices over those they can
charge for mems suits. Not only are
the women more exacting. but they are
said to change their minds and their or
ders with distressing frequency.
"A woman will come here" said
Michigan avenue tailor land after much
hesitation will decide upon certain goods
and special mode, only TO remark in
the course of the first fitting. oh. do

doesn't matter. az upon thinking Ii over
I've come to the conclusion that I'd
rather have green after all. It's a good
thing you've only cut it out, isn't it? Ii
would be an awful nuisance were it all
lined and sewed.'
Another difficulty that the tailor has to
face in dealing with women is the desire
to take home samples to show their hus-
bands This practice is sure to give rise
to all sorts of trouble. During such
process, too "A woman's order concerning
her prospective suit has a way Of cool
ing or of becoming transferred to an
other maker.
Ten to one" said the tailor. IF a wo-
man takes home a lot of samples and
designs to show her husband ii means
that she will either give up the idea OF
the silt or that she will give the order
to someone else. Well. it's the fortune
OF war. and we've learned to put up with

Making Their own Clothes.

Society girls In surprisingly large num-
beers are taking UP home dressmaking
this season, and ii is said that many
young women are now busy on their
Summer frocks. They are young wom-
en- too whose fathers are well able to
pay modistes' charges. OF course. they
cannot make all the fripperies that fash
ion is demanding this year. but there is
nevertheless, a lo1 that a girl, clever
with her needle. can do in the way of
fashioning a portion Of her Summer
wardrobe. For evening wear there will
be dainty. soft fTOcks loaded down with

United States. 1t might be their duty
TO protect their country and their homes
they declared, but they thought no one
ought to expect them to go to Cuba TO
fight.
Hardly had the decision of the men
who preferred to be home guards been
reached than the news spread about the
town. 1t was talked about on street cor
ners and in hotels. but few hard words
were said on the subject until yesterday
when the young wonderland this town
is noted for the number and good looks
of its girls-began talking.
In the hat factories the fifteen hundred
young women talked about nothing else.
and on all sides the Guardsmen met with
sharpest criticism. Informal indigna ton
meetings were held in many places, and
many of the girls tainted the soldier
boys by asking them for their uniforms.
''If you are afraid tG fight for your
country give us your guns and uniforms, ="
some of the girls said, land we will show
you that we are no towards" Such SEN
fences as these, plentifully sprinkled
with the word coward" met the young
men on all sides, and altogether the day
was not a pleasant one for the members
of. Company G.. urs
They tried to show they were not cow
ards and were not afraid to fight but
the young women would not listen to
any explanations Sixty5four of them
had refused to be ready to go wherever
the President wished to send them. and
that, in the eyes of many of the towns
people, was evidence, enough that they
were afraid .
Before night the men became very tired
of hearing taunts on all Sides, and when
Capt. King called them to the armory
last night every member was present
And more than that, every man recon-
sidered his decision of the night before,
and with a brave show of patriotism the
company voted to volunteer as a body

Ii has become the fashion of late
years to cultivate wild flower gardens.
When this is done intelligently it helps
to preserve some valuable native plants
that are in danger of extinction. Tn
less the soil of the bed in which the
wild flowers are grown is carefully pre-
pared, and the same conditions are OBJ
served In cultivation that surround the
flowers in their native habitat, the eff
fort, however, will be worse than vast
ed. A great many, if not all, the best
of rare wild flowers which are suitable
for cultivation may now be obtained
from florists, who find no troute in
raising rare orchids. The most delight
full way to start a wild flower garden
is to gather the specimens in country
tramps to the meadows or woodlands.

the only one of the ordinary April wild
flowers that looks well planted in mass
