good when he has gone under than among so-called ladies" As a result of this loss of respect for women of his own class many a man who ought to have made good husband becomes de- moralized.
 The lady of the middle ages who girded on her knights armor before the battle has given place to the modern women, who during the thick of lifes battle de- prives the modern man of life's armor which she alone can provide. Most men are, and must always be, what women make them. So far this lamentable fail- ure of an increasing number of women to contribute to the good of the com munity is admittedly most apparent among the upper and middle classes, and mainly In London. But what the London woman does today the would-be up-to- date provincial woman six months later regards as the Latest thing" and adopts It in her own sphere. Happily, however, there are still many women and girls from the nobleman's to the country doc- tors or tradesman's wife or daughter, who prefer to live up to the old ideal of womanhood and girlhood, but they are decreasing.
 In the twentieth century something more than "the hand that rocks the cradle is needed of the sex that rules the world"-or ought to be- Not only must conscientious mothers educate their daughters to be. independent--in the best sense of the word-and at the same time sensible of their power for good, but the daughter whose mother has not done this must, in striking out a line of independ- ence for herself, realize her opportunities and possibilities and her duty toward mankind, in making brute mem and men, if not quite divine" at any rate, something better than they would be without the influence of a good women

 Princess in Difficult Position
 or all the British women married to foreigners there Is none who finds her position at present so trying as Prin- Cess Pless. the elder sister of the Duchess of Westminster I was priv lleged to see a letter she wrote to a friend the other day and among her remarks which one may repeat without breaking trust was the following: How l wish I had carried out my threat and gone to the United States the hrst week of the war Life here Is hateful" It is only of late years that Princess Pless has been induced To live for even a few months at q time in the fatherland. But now with her husband fighting with the Kaiser s army 1t was impossible for her to re- side in England-her family do not really want her and she thinks the next best place is New York
 It is. impossible, of course. to give you any idea of the number of people who have lost either near or distant relatives in the war. Although we have been fighting for only little more than month really almost all of ones fl tends have been bereaved And de- spite the fact that several influential appeals to avoid the wearing of black have been made. the sombre color is to be found on every side.
 This prevalence of black is sure to heo neither lost relatives nor who have any in the two services are adopting black simply ito be in the fashion," While this state of affairs means brisk business. temporarily. for the shops It means big drop in trade in the near future. One has very little idea of the economy of wearing black until one has tried.
 I hear a a.rather good story about the King and the floral buttonhole hich he invariably wears. It appears that one of the most important duties of his valet is to see that a constant supply of his majesty's favorite flower the white rose, is at hand to permit of frequent change. Under ordinary conditions the King wears three changes of flowers day, all of which are specially grown and brought from Windsor and Sandringham.
 During his recent visit in Scotland these blooms arrived regularly until one day. due to the movement of troops and the consequent interruption in the ordinary train schedule. the supply ran dry The Kings host made frantic ef- forts to assist the valet in discovering a new source of supply close at hand. but in vain. Finally the horrible news was broken to his majesty and several choices were put before him. Ultimate ly after much experimenting, he de- cided to don an orchid of which a par ticularly rare and valuable bloom was to be had at a neighboring castle. Evi- dently, however, the change was not entirely satisfactory to the King. for since his return to London he has switched back to his beloved white rose.

SCHOOL TEACHERS
 OF LONDON ENLISTING

London, October 17.-Over 1000 London teachers have volunteered for active service, and it is being found necessary to fill their places in the boys school with women. This is policy which up to the present has been steadily resisted in London, but circumstances have com- pelled relaxation of the usual rule.
 The board of education and local au- thorities generally have made it easy for teachers to volunteer, but this vol unteering has naturally accentuated the dearth of teachers which has already been felt. The board of education is now turning blind eye on some of their most stringent staffing rules. There is, however, big reserve of women certifi- scated teachers who have married. Many of these would be quite willing to go back to the school for the period of the

London October 3.-(Special. )-There is One publisher in London, very enter prising man. who, realizing that the only literature likely to appeal to big sec tion of the British public for sometime so come are books intimately associated with the Kaiser and his family, has been worrying every society woman con nected with Germany to write and sign her "reminiscences. He has made a spe- cial appeal to Princess Hatzfeldt and re- ceived an unmerciful snub.

 Mrs. Palmer in London
 Mrs. Potter Palmer has spent very little of her time in London of late years and her present visit is due to the fact that things are so uncomfortable in Paris For like all good Americans, she adores her Paris and her lovely quarters there. Heaps and heaps of her works or art and bric-a-brac have been brought to London and are carefully housed and insured against calamity of every de- scription. But she means to dispatch the lot in time to the United States.
 Mrs. Potter Palmer gives big luncheon parties at the Ritz and when she is en- tertaining she takes up all the attention of the rooms. For her lovely hair is winter than ever and her jewels are the envy of many queens. I noticed the other day she was wearing an ornament of black and white pearls with a sap- phire in the center. The combination was extraordinarily effective, especially as Mrs Potter Palmer had dressed up 10 it and was arrayed in black and white gown with a touch of sapphire blue on the bodice.

WEEDS USED TO CUT DOWN
 THE HIGH COST OF LIVING

As remedy for the soaring prices of foodstuffs. Mrs. w. K. Jaques of 4316 Greenwood avenue, urges housewives to use weeds on their tables. says Chicago specialize the New York Sun.
 There are 10 weeds, all edible that can be used for food,,' Mrs Jaques said. These are the dock, nettle. sorrel. purs- lane. milkweed dandelion. pigweed. lambs quarter. marsh marigold and brake fern. They make excellent greens and are nourishing. Purslane, commonly called puss-sly.' which stands for the original sin to most people. is edible. Chinese are fond of it. and it is found. in well culti- vated gardens. Purslane will not grow any place else and it can't stand com petition.
 "As this Is planting time for the weeds. when the seeds are ripening and blos- soming and each weed Is trying to get seeds in the ground for next year. peo- pie should decide whether or not these aggressive plants are to decorate the va- cant lots over the city. Improvement as- sociations make the mistake of attack ing weeds just because they are weeds. They sometimes forget that these plants can be utilized for their beauty. On one vacant lot wild carrot grew riotously. All though wild carrot is a weed. which is called Queen Anne g. lace, 1t made love- ly spot of the vacant lot with it's pretty white blossoms. The neighbors enjoyed the white weeds across the way, but one day a man from the Improvement associa- ton como to hoe them down.
 Ma am, them's weeds, he said when the neighbor protested,"
 At her farm. the Terrace near South Haven Mrs. Jaques encourages all the weeds to grow. She has made study of each weeds utility and beauty through many months of watchfulness. She cham pions the cause of the weeds for their economic value to the poof and the many designs they offer to the artist for 'sketchss. she said. But most of ell for food.

-------------.s'-------------- COMPLAIN OF HIGH CANAL INSURANCE

London. October 24.-(Special.) )-British ship owners are complaining abou the high rate of 2 per cent which under writers are charging for insuring the risk of passing through the Panama canal. even although steamers drawing up to 30 feet have been going through the ca nal for sometime without mishap of any kind.
 At present, however. both Lloyd's and the marine insurance companies are conn pelled to exercise good deal of caution, for the fear of landslides Is very real, while the slight earthquake it is believed, might easily disocate the lock gates The question of the premiums will be reconsidered shortly, and with a better knowledge of the waterway, it Is consid- cred that concessions will be made.
