So many of our mothers write to say

of this animal is to try to understand it.
The first thing / always say to a
mother who seeks my advice on the Sub

might say, spare him the reams of good

WOMEN FARMERS.

The French harvest of 1918. gath
cred by women, will be sufficient fo
the needs OF the modified men anc
the civil poulation for the coming
year. This fact has been officially
made known in Paris.
And this triumph OF agriculture
was not accomplished under the IA
yorable conditions enjoyed in previ
ous years. Not only have there
been no men but there have been too
few women. What three men have
done other years two women had to
do this year. And there have been
practically no horses left on the
farm, since every available beast was
rcquisitioned for the war, and last
but not least it has been impossible
to secure fertilizer.
This success of women in agricul-
ture in France ought to be an inspira-
ton to the women of America. If
lllC "OlllCh vi ant, duk Cl sc
conditions, have reaped a harvest big
enough to support the country, what
could not the women of America do
under the ideal conditions that pre-
vail here: AS yet women have not
made much headway as agriculturists.
But agriculture is fascinating field,
and the few American women that
have entered it have become fascinat-
ed with it. Without the dread slim
ulus of wartime needs it is quite pos
sible that American women in agri-
culture will some day be real force
The Fashion ArNLeague of Amer
ica in Chicago complains that there
are not enough good looking blonds.
We have heard many times that as
our intermarrying civilization con-
tinues the pure blond type would
gradually disappear. But why, in
this matter OF blonds, does Chicago
prove resourcelcss? The blond may
be vanishing type-science attests
this fact But TO look at the choruses
of our popular musical shows, to look
about us in restaurants, other places
where women foregathcr, science
would seem for once TO be wrong.
In the East, at least, it does not
seem to be very difficult thing to
convert a brunette into blond. Why
is Chicago so far behind her Eastern
sisters in swelling the ranks of the
ranishine blond?
Fort thousand more seals have

Correct Footgear Is Now
Fashions First Demand
Women Think More About Quality and
Style of Their Shoes and Fret Less
About heir Cost Than Ever.

Has the war brought abo,t the pre-
dicted increase in shoe prices" I asked
Mr.. Joseph Berberich Saturday afternoon.
No. but women pay mora for their
shoes than ever before. 1t isn't the war
it's short skirts. Somehow manufsc-
turers have managed to keep down the
prices for standard goods and charge no
more. But women must have attractive
footgear nowadays, and they are realiz-
Ils this autumn that it doesn't pay to
buy fancy shoes unless they are of the
very best quality
The newest thing in shoes. according to
Mr.. Berberich. is really very old-fash-
ioned. 1t is modelled after the "gipsy
bal" those easy shoes that old lacies
used to wear, with an extended patent
leather tip and no seams on the sides.
OF course, the new version of II is exceed
ingly smart. but it Is just as comfortable
as the shoes that grandmother used to
wear. They are made of bronze kid or
blue kid with an extended black patent
leather tip that runs all the WAY up to
the top Of the shoe. They are nov. H..

No one Is surprised nowadays II blue

Probably more children suffer from
TOO much clothing than from too little.

not keep a flannel shirt on him in sum-

HOROSCOPE.
THE stars incline. but do not compel

Monday, September 70. 1918.
This is rather a lucky day. Mercury
rules strongly for good and Jupiter is
in a mildly benefic aspect.
Editors and publishers are subject
to sway read as encouraging. News
papers will profit by improved busi-
ness conditions. it is foretold.
Advertising again is we'll directed
Publicity will be sought more widely
than ever before. the 'seers declare(
duties.
This should be fairly fortunate
time for business initiative. Great
gains and big losses. however. will
balance in trade activities during the
next few weeks.
Stock breeders will benefit under
this confirmation. Those of the Middle
West will reap immense profits.
Arizona is under a rule presaging
sensational events. Its mines are sub
ject to a sway that promises eXtraor-
dinary prosperity.
Railway interests are likely to suf-
fer in the next few weeks. if the stars
are interpreted Alright. Rate wars and
strikes are indicated.
The head of a transcontinental sys-
tenn of transportation will figure
largely in the public prints. He will
meet serious problems wisely. it is
foretold.
Again the need of economy is en-
phasized. Women are warned against
extravaganza.
Distinguished visitors to the United
States may cause an embarrassing in
ternational episode. according to the
astrologers.
China continues under a baleful in
fluence. A widespread epidemic. fam
inc and fires are indicated.
Trouble for a man high in political
life is presaged. He is probably Fed
eral appointee. whose career has been
conspicuous on account of the Euro
pean war.
Persons whose birthdate IL is have
a happy augury for the year. With
care business will prosper.
Children born on this day are likely to
be unusually clever. They are on the
cusp and may partake of Libra as well as
Virgo characteristics. Idealism mingled
with practical proclivities are common
among these subjects Of two signs.
