THE FLOWER SALE.

Once upon a time Tessie Tabby de-
Cided that she wanted TO make some
money. She knew that she did not
have cent with which to start any
thing big. But she did know that
there were lots of ways of selling
things which did not cost money in
the first place.

The Daily

For Women
Constructive Patriotism. Of American
Women.
Ru RETH IEERPIES

At the scent Of q forest fire whole
sight Of the blood of their fellow-coun-
trynen. nations have risen up IN a
frenzy OF revenge which could have
been stimulated r. no. other means. It
is the process OF the transmission Of a
sensation which imbues men and even
animals with the same hope, fear, Or
horror.
Just now European women, in pas
sion of patriotism which has brought
them the respect OF the entire world,
are entering into fields Of activities
which have actually been denied them
in times past. They are needed, thoy
forgive and they labor
Little wonder that this spirit has
come across to America and that the
women Of this country are busy with
plans which will break deadlocks Of
trade and save Our industries ard la
borers from failure. We are improv-
ing Oh the patriotism which has fired
us, however.
The active manifestation of construc-
tive patriotism lies in the power + the
women Of this country. Each and
every women who buys the smallest
commodity shares part in this move
ment.
The statement has been made more
than oTce Of lat. that women could
prevent war If they would, and that il
lies in their power to unite and take
steps which would prohibit the warfare
which they so 1bfoI. Surely they hold
the key. for they bear the men WHO
flight.
But instead OF cly revolt. any direct
effort against war itself how much more
intelligent is a deliberate and construc-
tive campaign for bettering the re-
sources of the country prior to any
war. Patriotism in time of war is
thrown to. waste-constructive patriot
ism such as the women Of America arc
sowing, is the conservation of energy.

SONS which looked as If they had
gardens. But Tessie was too excited
and too lazy to even notice. She
fixed them up, and then she sat down
in her best dress 70 wait for pur-
chasers.
Tommy and Teddy disappeared
shortly after, for they seemed to be
afraid of meeting the guests. THAT
might have warned Tcssie, but it
didn't. She chased her kitty sister,
Tottie, away with many Kisses and
sharp words. for she wanted to be
the whole show.
She was. At first no one came. but
soon she could see creatures coming
down the road. They seem TO be all
coming at once" she said to herself.
They did seem to be IN a hurry, and
all poured into the front gate in a
body. Dollies. and bunnics. and dog
people and cat people pushed and
crowded to get in. Tessic drew back
little frightened, and her eyes grew
big. Mother" she cried, come

Mrs. Tabby ran out. and she was
just in time. For with a roar the
creatures ran at Tessie, crying:
There she sits: those are my flow
ers,'' And mine" And mine" they
all yelled. Someone picked Tcssie
up and gave her a spanking. and they
were about TO pass ner on. when
Mrs. Tabby took her. "If you will
tell me what the trouble is / will
spank her myself" she said. The
creatures crowded about all speaking
at once.
"She stole all of our flowers" they
cried land robbed our gardens.

Comfort, Common Sense, and
Style Go Hand in Hand This
Season, in This Sand-CoI-
ored Costume.
Dresses Open Down the Front.
Skirts Are Wider, and Arm
holes Fit-GeneraI Cut Is
Severe.

"Comfort, common sense, and
style all the same BREATH? II can't
be done"
That might have been the per-
dict last year, but it is not true of
the present fall season-ushered
in NTH such confusion and doubt.
This broddcloth costume is typi-
cal of the street gowns for fall
wear. The skirt is ample at the
bottom, and short. The sleeves
are made to fit the arm hole, and
WiH not pull the waist out of the
band. The fasteHings, heaven bless
them, are many nice big handy
buttons all of the may down the
front of the dress.
At the neck the throat is e1-
posed, and a sheer, White collar
turns tetchingly back. A wide
girdle of black satin is draped
softly about the waist, and falls in
two long loops decorated Nth balls
at the side front.
What more could q woman ask,
or man either for that matter, for
it takes no stretch of the in1agina-
tion to state that the male SEX Mill
welcome the departure of millions
of hooks and eyes closing dresses
at the back. But the buttons are
only one of the items which make
for the general poise and comfort
OF the WeareT.
There is actually nothing more
to describe about this costume un-
less it be the bell-cufs which
either turn back, for work, or hang
loosely oper the hand in the street.
Many fall costumes will be built
on these same lines.

From inheritance, disuse, or inhibi-
ton. masculine tears are fewer and far
ther between than those Of the gentler
sex Many additional reasons may ac-
count for this.
Men drink less water and milk. and
much more alcohol than women. Water
and milk have a tendency to create
tears; alcoholic beverages tend to check
them and injure the tear bags. More
over. men work and use their muscles
more vigorously than women. Again.
they perspire extensively and thus leave
little fluid to be wasted in tears

shows that the tear gland in the upper
manufactures tears, but also. like the
thyroid gland, generates an internal
juice for the blood and other tissues.
In fine, the tear sponges which inundate
the eyes. also have fiery, sanguinarv
hormone. or chemical with which liter
ternal juice. in contrast to the external
weeping. creates definite emotions, just
as the various other viscera of your
fabric have been found to do.
The tear glands of sheep. calves and
other brutes are already being gathered
and made into dry powder to be ad-
to the certain types Of indi-
viduals that lack healthful emotions Of

subdued eyes. when given the effects Of
administered tear bags. albeit unused to
the melting mood. will drop tears as fast
as Arabian trees are said to drop their
medicinal gum.
