American Fashions for Women

One good result of the war has al
ready been announced. 1t is that
American dressmakers are ready to
declare their independence of Paris
dressmakers and strike out on new
lines in fashion for American women.
If this shall be, and the result shall
bring us sensible, Attractive, hygienic,
and modest apparel, men will not
have died in vain. For not few men
have killed themselves dressing their
wives in abominable fashions from
Paris. 1t has been killing the women
too and destroying modesty and good
taste. Give us American fashions for
American women; and let them lie
pretty as the American woman is
pretty, modest as the American wo-
man is modest. Let them be designed
with a view to utility, beauty, reas-
enable economy, and simple good
taste. Maybe in the future the his
torian will look back and say: THE
war of 1914 was a blessing to the
world for it liberated women of
Christendom from the tyranny and
indecency of the Paris fashions. =

JOYS OF COUNTRY LIVING.

There are certain primeval joys IN
life that we are worse than fools ii

the joy of muscles well attuned and
the joy of friendships with we'll

All these simple values belong es-
pecially to the country living and
there are many more of them of like
character, like the feel Of a good
horse between ones legs, the push of
ones muscle against some congenial
task and the watching of the develop

WAR

War sat on a high place near the
city named Earth, where all who
passed along the highwayEcalled Life
could see him as they went on their
journeys. Among those who took
their eyes from the ground was King.
When he saw War, he stopped. who
are you that sits beside the highway
of Life?" asked King.
War answered: i am Power and
Dominion and Pride. l am the MAX
er and unmaker of dynasties. l set
up and pull down the rulers of Earth,
the great city in which you dwell. By
me wealth and strength are appor-
toned, dishonor is redeemed, right is
made plain, and justice is done"
So King went his way thinking:
War is good"
Soon there came Young Man, and
he too asked who War was.
War said; 81 am Adventure and
Daring, Boldness and Hardihood. l
bestow renown and distinction on
men. Those who follow me grow
brave of spirit and hard of body.
They learn the happiness that comes
from ardent toll; the joy that is born
of struggle. The people of Earth look
with greatest favor on those who en-
roll themselves in my record book
and reward them with the first con-
sideration"
Young man whistled as he followed
the highway called Life and cried
aloud: "War is noble"
Next Old Man, weak of sight and
hard of hearing, peered at War and
said: "Who are you up there?"
To Old Man War replied: 81 am
Memory and Thoughts of yesterday.
1t was I who filled your heart with
friends and clothed your mind with
the good memorials of a glorious
past. took from you your arm, but
in its place l gave you something
far better-the service of a devoted
friend. By me you were made poor in
pocket, to beg your bread as you
walked the highway called Life, but
in exchange 1 gave you the great days
of your manhood to comfort and
sustain you"
Old Mans face was lighted by his
thoughts of the brave days when he
knew War; and as he set one foot be-
fore the other he chuckled and struck
his thigh with his hand and mumbled
in his beard: Il mind now that War
is the great thing"
But then there came on the high
way called Life Woman, who had
borne sons that War had destroyed
and daughters who had wept upon
her skirts for their husbands that
War had torn from them; Woman,
who had dried the tears of orphans
War had made and staunched the
blood Of wounds that War had given;
Woman, who had incurred Wars
dead and starved that War might eat
And Woman saw War and asked him
nothing, but fled, shrieking, away
from him on the highway called Life.
and as Woman fled from him War
was silent, for he had no words to
speak.-New York Sun.
