pale gold. More than one of the town
boys thought regretfully that il she
didn't loll around quite SO much and
was a shade less selfish, what a wife
she would make. So they loved Mabel
when the moonlight was specially
white and her cheeks were specially
tempting, but they proposed to the
other girls.
Mabel didn't seem to care. She

may have to be seriously considered
if the conflict is prolonged through the

1870.
In December, 1870. German soldiers
might have been seen plodding through
the miry roads in the depth OF winter
barefoot, while many had only wooden
shoes and linen trousers. When the

in January scarcely soldier was
clothed in the regulation manner. CT.

Made in America strong est en-
to Be the Slogan. The principal Of
one of the leading domestic science in
stitutions In the country has announced
that this year the courses of twentieth
century homemaking will be based en-
tirely upon the utilization Of American
products. The classes in housefurnish-
ing and decorating will consider furni-
ture, wall paper. draperies and uphol-
facture The classes in cooking and
food preparation will use no foreign
food product. 1t is believed that the
menus prepared this year will not suner
either In quality or variety by com
parison with those of former years.
In the dressmaking and sewing classes
nothing but American cloths and trim
ming will be used. These will all be
made up from American designs.
The work of the Department of Agri-
culture in adding to the number Of
American food products will be espe-
cially recognized during this crusade
in favor Of home products. Few per-
sons realize how many articles sup
posed to come from foreign countries
are really being supplied in the United
States. Olives. nuts and fruits of
every kind, cheeses, caviar and other
delicacies are being SO freely produced
here that no retrenchment in variety
is involved. although prices must go
up on account of the smaller American
production. In fact, some of the Amer
lean products are found superior in
quality and flavor to those which have
been imported.
large proportion Of so-called i'm
ported cheeses are manufactured here.
The dealer cannot forego the extra profit
he makes on the foreign label. When
the American goods are given the pref
erence to which their quality entities
them the housewife will no longer pay
20 cents more a pound for cheese said
to be imported-at least. until she has
personally tested and compared it with
a similar article Of home production.

HoV the War Affects Us.
xxxVII.-Women and
American Products.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Made in America" is a popular slo-
gan among American women nova
days. A wonderful patriotic senti-
ment in favor of the use of American
goods has arisen in this country as
result of the European difficulties. 1t
is gaining strength daily and fnnuenc-
ing all classes of people who feel that
this is the time for the American ma
tion to demonstrate its absolute tnde-
pendence of all kinds Of foreign prod
ucts and manufacturers
J The women of the nation are espe-
cially enthusiastic in this matter. The
Daughters Of the American Revolution,
who are recognized as composing the
strongest and richest patriotic organ
ization of the world, have been among
the first to realize the Importance or
the Made in America" movement. In
dividual chapters have already had 1t
before them. The national BODY VIII
take action at its first board meeting
to be held in Continental Memorial
Hall in Washington on october Z. The
subject will be brought forward by
Mrs. G. 7. Smallwood, the vice presi-
dent general. resident in Washington:
and therefore the ranking officer OF
the D. A. r. in the National Capital
the greater part of the year.
Our organization must stand ior
the use of American products at this
time," said Mrs Smallwood. During
the war of the revolution our ances-
tors drank raspberry leaf tea ana wore
homespun clothing and refused all
foreign luxuries We will not be call
ed upon to make such sacrifices as
American trade in the need which has
suddenly arisen.

cotton to be disposed Of in this country.
The women must help to solve the
problem of using it advantageously.
American textile manufacturers are pro-
ducing exquisite mercerized cotton,
which If properly used may be made as
effective as silk.
A number Of the official women of
Washington are now planning an ex-
hibition of really handsome clothing in
which cotton is to take the place Of silk
as the chief material employed Some Of
the leading modistes of the country have
been enl sted, and the garments are to
be elegant in design and finish. Their
cost will be equal to that ordinarily
paid for handsome clothing made after
special models. yet the price will not be
exorbitant in consideration Of the value
renresented.
Women of moderate means will be in
vited to Join in this effort to help the
cotton market. Few women are not able
to afford to purchase a dollars worth
Of cotton cloth. A special feature of the
proposed exhibition will include cou-
ple of dresses each made of cotton ma
terial costing a dollar or less. Prizes
will be offered for the most artistic and
pleasing design.

D. A. r. to Work the matter of
for American Goods. Now shall
insist upon having American products
Of every kind, because 1t is our duty
to assist our own dealers and manu-
facturers. The most practical form
of patriotism at this time is to thor
oughly establish the supremacy of
American products"
While the patriotic women would
probably make any sacrifice necessary
to promote the prosperity of their
country. most of them will be sur
prised to find how little self-denial Is
involved in confning themselves to
American goods. At the style shows
now in progress in New York city and
other large centers American models
of women's clothing are shown side by
side with creations of Poiret. Paquin
and other foreign artists. Many OF
the American styles are the smartest
shown. Last week a speaker before
the convention of dressmakers and
designers held in New York announc..
ed that there would be no lack OF
French creations for the next three
months After that we will be COM
PEELED to depend upon the American
designers.
American women are recognized as
the best dressed women in the world.
When they insist upon having Ameri-
can styles which will be distinct from
those of other nations, they will make
New York. rather than Paris. the fash
ion center of the world. They will
bring to this country the wealth which
has formerly gone to encourage the
manufacturers of the other nations.
During the next three months American
designers will take especial pains not
only to supply designs especially suited
to American women, but also to utilize
the products of American factories to
the best possible advantage. Because
some of these have less delicacy than
imported goods. extra skill will be re-
quired to produce the best effects. With
the encouragement of greater demand
for their goods, manufacturers will be
able to improve their quality and de-
sign. American women must give this
encouragement.

Berlin UNEASY
REGARDING WAR;
CITY IN DARKNESS
ALL news IS SUPPRESSED
The City is Now Completely
Isolated

London, Aug. 1S.-The Daily Mails
Copenhagen correspondent sends the
following under date of Aug. 10:
"a traveller from Berlin says the
city is completely isolated from the
outside world. No mail has arrived in
fortnight from England, Russia,
France, or Belgium. Newspapers
from Austria are received only once a
week. The Scandinavian mails arriv-
ed last Friday with the latest newspa-
pers and the greatest surprise was
caused by reports of German defeats
in Belgium, especially at the Belgians'
victories at the Liege forts.
"A mark was gladly paid for half
penny newspaper to get independent
reports of what was happening.
Berlin was unusually quiet, the
traveller said. mo visitors were visi-
Bile and foreign languages were not
heard. Night revels had ceased and
dancing halls were closed. The city
at night was in darkness. No lights
or reflections from advertisements
were allowed on the roofs and only in
Friedrich-Strasse was an electric light
permitted. Restaurants and cafes
We're paying half their profits as a
contribution to Red Cross work.
"a war map exhibited in a shop
on Friendrichstrass was marked with
flags to indicate German successes,
but the police instantly ordered its re-
noval.
The Berlin papers, which for
time FIRMLY insisted that the Liege
iortS we're IN German hands, finally
admitted that this was not correct.
1t was pointed out that several forts
were still withstanding the attack, but
it Vas the Emperor's wish that no
more lives than necessary should be
sacrificed and that the fact that the
Brl?ians still hold the forts would not
embarrass the German operations.
"The German Emperor had started
a journalistic enterprise, declaring war
news and war articles which he wish
ed published in the Lokal Anzeiger.
Leipzig had been transformed into
hospital town and all the wounded
from Liege were being conveyed
there.
"The people, the traveller added,
were showing uneasiness and depres-
sion"

few moments the streets were empty

in two parts, the southern or Alsatian
frontier and border of Lorraine. The
Alsatian border is formed by the
Vosges mountain range, so miles long,
crossed by seven roads passing
through defiles, but the narrow nature
of these passes makes their defense
comparatively easy. That is the reas-
on why both Germany and France
rushed their armies into Alsace as
soon as mobilization was begun and
war declared.
To the vest of the valley of the Mo-
selle and separated from it by the
massive mountain formation of the
Eiffel, is the River Meuse, coming
from France, and entering Belgian ter
ritory at Sedan. 1t flows through Liege
and the Dutch province of Limburg.
Natural Lines Of Entry.
Thus there are three natural lines
for any advancing army from Germany
into France or from France into Ger
many, through the Troue de Belfort,
the Mcselle valley near Metz or the
valley of the Meuse through Holland
and Belgium. All these passages are
naturally well guarded by the rivers
and mountains and easily defended. It
is where the natural defenses are
weakest that the rival nations have
erected their chains Of Notifications.
