BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES

diligently till the little wren house
was all cluttered up with nuts, and
then the man who made the bird
house came home.
He saw the squirrels scampcring
down the pole. He saw the large
gnawed door and he suspected the
clutter of nuts inside.
81 built that house for birds, not
squirrels" he said Grossly. And what
do you suppose he did?
He got piece of tin, cut a tiny
hole the size of quarter and nailed
it across the front of the bird house.
There" he exclaimed as he climb
ed down his ladder. 81 guess those
squirrels won't get in my bird house
nowl'
And they didn't.
Poor little Bushy tried his best, he
nearly broke his sharp white teeth /!
But he couldn't gnaw tin, so he had
to give up both his nuts and his new
pantry"

PRETTY PRINCESS PAT

Princess Patricia occupies quite a
unique position in the hearts of the Cana
dian people, and 1t was foregone con-
clusioa that sooner or later one of the
regiments of tho Canadian army would
seek permission to carry the name of
Her Royal Highness. The European war
and the formation of new regiments have
afforded the necessary opportunity, and
q few days ago the Princess had the
pleasure of presenting to her regiment a
set of colors worked by her own hands

special significance in the eyes of the
regiment. Princess Patricia, in presenting
the colors, said she hoped that they
would be associated with what she be-
lieved would be distinguished corps. She
would follow the fortunes of all with deep
interest, and she wished her regiment
good luck.

is YOUR HOME CoMMIssARIAr FAILING DOWN?
By MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK,
Author of The New Housekeeping

Dispatches from across the seas tell
us that one reason for the poor fighting
in some of the engagements was the
fact that the commissariat fell down
and prevented the soldiers from making
sufficient headway. Here was case
where every outside stimulus to valiant
effort vas given, the finest equipment
the right weapons, the best plan of ac-
tion-but the soldiers failed because they
were hungry!
Is our home commissariat falling
down? We are m such an era of soar
ing prices that the tendency on every
hand seems to be TO decrease our eN-
penses for food. 1t seems timely, there
fore, to give a word of warning so that
We may make sure that in our effort to
economize we are not running the risk
of lowering the family resistance to dis
ease and lessening its powers FOR work.
In order to keep in perfect health, and
also to have sufficient energy to put into
our various positions or jobs, whether
home or business or school, the body
must have certain amount OF the right
kinds OF food. If it cannot get muscle
making qualities from meat some other
food that yields the same qualities must
be substituted If sugar is too expensive,
or if eggs are high" we must still feed
the body foods which will give the sugar
or egg values and strength. If the house
wifes pocketbook will not permit her to
buy the usual food which gives certain
nutritive values then it Is "up to her."
in colloquial language to learn about
other foods which can replace them.
It is neither wise nor possible to cut
down the amount or quality of nutriment
that the body needs, because then our
home commissariat will fail and the re-
cult will be a still more tired business

TWO wide-awake little squirrels
hunted so many nuts that they
could hardly find places enough
in which to put them all

Don't ask me-" replied White Spot,
II have troubles of my own! Every

mo use going up your tree to look
then, is there?" asked Bushy.
None at ALL" replied White Spot,
and he took one last squint around
to see if he couldn't possibly get a
bright idea about some other storing
place.
Whats that up there?" he asked
Whats UP where?" said Bushy,
craning his neck.
"Si1lyp exclaimed White Spot in
disgust, cant you see?"
Bushy craned his neck and looked
around the yard. Yes, there was
something new up there. Some thing
that looked like a tiny little brown
house perched UP on a big tall pole.
Bushy and White Spot don't know,
as you do, that the queer new some
thing was a very handsome brand new
wren house! And, not knowing, they
were much puzzled.
81 think that is new since this morn
ing" said White Spot (and it was).
81 don't care wag about when it
came" said Bushy. "I mean to in
vestigate and see what it is.
So he looked all around to be sure
the coast was clear, then scampcred
over, as fast as he could go, to the
foot of the big pole.
There he stopped and cautiously ex-
amined the pole. You see Bushy was
very brave; but he didn't believe in
running into trouble-not he. He al
ways inquired into new things very
carefully. This time he nibbled at the
pole and then called to White Spot:
ut seems like a very common wooden
pole, I'm going to climb it"-and up
he went.
At the top he found the cunningest
little bird house you ever saw. II
was brown weathered oak and had a
porch, some windows and tiny, tiny
door. Bushy admired and explored
and then called down to White Spot:
This is the finest place for storing
nuts we have found. The only trouble
is the door. It's too small, but I'll
soon gnaw my way in, never fear"
And he set to work
In a very short while he made an
opening plenty big and then he went
down to the ground for nuts.
Both he and White Spot worked

MODTSH NECKWEAR
IMPORTANT ITEM IN
UP-TO-DATE ATTIRE
Bewildering Array of Col
lars, With Accent on Those
That Resemble the Old
fashioned Stock in Design,

The accessories of dress are always i'm
portant, but It is impossible to be
smartly garbed at the present day with
out modish neckwear
There is bewildering array Of collars
from which to choose. The collar Of stiff
linen or pdue, the hand-embroidered col
lar of fine linen or null or batiste and
the sheer organdie collar are all pre-
scnted in new forms.
Aud they are all so attractive that the
average woman would like to make
clean sweep and purchase them all.
Ono of the forms that tho new collars
have taken is strongly reminiscent of the
old-fashioncd stock. 1t turns down over
high ncck5and and fits closely at the
back.
In front, however, Il departs from the
original stock and opens above V. Re-
vers that tlare are attached to the collar
and a row of ornamental buttons holds
them together.
A collar that encloses the throat but
flares outward in sharp points in front, Is
hcmstitchcd, but otherwise untrlmmde.
the appearance of this collar, too, and
1umor has 1t that throats are to be tight
ly swathed again.
II is one OF the fashion notes that will
apparently fail 10 strike home, for new
forms of the collar with the open ap-
pear on every side, and it Is only at the
back that the majority of them are high.
French embroidery and eyelet work are
used OH the null and fine linen collars,
and the bit of handwork gives the inde-
Unable something, the "je ne sails quoi,"
that spells the refinement of style.
Plating is used to develop several OF
the collars that have pleased the pub
lie. There is the one that stands quite
erect and the one that turns down over
a neck band.
In both instances the plating makes
a ruffe that is graceful and that also
gives soft line, much more becoming
to many faces than the straight and
severe outline of straight edge.
Thc distinctive note of the standing
collar that flares widely is the very be-
background for the head that 1t
makes.
The open V neck is much more becom-
ing as a rule than either the high COL
lar or the round neck.
IF one really stops to think. II would
seem that we are in bondage to the
French only up to a certain point.
The point of departure Is inclination,
one would Judge, preference for some
thing opposed to the French mandate.
Tn the matter of the V-neck blouse at
least the majority OF American women
are living up TO their convictions.

GIRLS OF CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Oct 5.-A few years aso,
when a girl left school she Immediately
began to hunt a husband, Getting mar
ried was her only outlook and the best
chance she had OF getting a home.
It's different now. When a Chicago
girl leaves school these days she I'M

has demonstrated her ability to support
herself and perhaps, contribute largely
toward the upkeep of divers, brothers
and sisters, she leisurely looks over the
male OF ths species and selects one 10

All Of this is indicated by the new
