UTHE midin ..t Of Paris need ,,'i our
help. The women of America
in fact, fashionable women
Of the whole world owe these little
people a great deal" says Mrs. Edna
Woolman Chase, who is doubtless one
of the best informed authorities on
fashions in this country.
Right here it may be explained who
the midnettes are. "They are that
gay, chattering flock Of little sewing
girls who used to emerge from the sub
way in the morning and dart down the
Rue de Ia Paix with the swift graceful
movements Of the swallow and the joy
Gus laughter of irrepressible youth"
to use Mrs. Chase's own words. "And
they have recently been turned into a
pale, silent army with faces distorted
by restitution and DESPAIR"
These girls were the first to lose en-
ployment when the war broke out, and
obviously they will be the last to re-
gain employment, inasmuch as the max
ing Of gowns is an industry de luxe
After the strain of enforced idleness,
the heart-breaking losses Of husbands,
brothers and fathers, these girls now
find themselves confronting the most
awful predicament that can befall an
Garner Of small wages, namely, the OBJ
legation of supporting the older women
and the children Of the family when
not earning even sufficient to support
themselves.
A fund known as THE Sewing Girls
of Paris" or lie Loyer de lOuvriere,"
has been organized, Of which Paul
Escuder, former president of the NUM-
cipal Council Of Paris, is president, and
Condo Mast chairman Of the fund in
America. The objects of the fund are
TO pay the rent Of the unfortunate
working girls; aid sewing women who
are soon to become mothers; establish
w-priced and healthful living quar-
ters for the sewing girls and give the
girls moral support, medical aid, food
and outside interests.

ter before spreading IT, 1t is good
plan to butter each slice of bread on

For the sandwiches all sorts OF
savory filings are used in combination
with mayonnaise, or with cream cheese.
Fresh green peppers, chopped fine,
make an appetizine sandwich, as well
as celery, olives and anchovy or sar-
dine paste.
To make the sardine paste, remove
the bones AMI mash the sardines
smoothly with a spoon, mixing in a
little olive oil. A delicious sandwich
is made as follows:
Half cup of cream, half cup of grated
Parmesan cheese, two tablespoons OF
anchoyy or sardine paste, one teaspoon

Some Earn % Cents a Day.

'In France the daughter or sister
of n soldier is entitled to no financial
aid from the government. Some of the
couturieres are, it is true, making
clothes for the soldiers. For this they
are paying their sewing girls 25 cents
a day. Out of the 25 cents the girls
in price to about cents a spooD, pay
Their fares to and from their homes,
and perhaps support a mother or
sister as well. Some or the girls have
been nourished entirely by the charity
soup kitchen, which sprang into being
as a result of the war.
Bear in mind that tho very coun-
tries for which Paris produced the
most outside Of America are actually
engaged in the war. Russia offers no
market for Paris creations, and the
Austrian women, than whom there are
no better dressed women in the world,
do not think of gowns now. No class
Of workers is quite as essential to the
happiness of women as those who labor
with great pride TO produce beautiful
gowns-and the little midinettes do
take pride in their work. They are
quite different from many OF the girls
who work on gowns in this country.
The woman who has ever possessed APP
parel from Paris, whether a gown or
wrap, or merely bit Of lingerie, knows
that nothing else gives her that pecu-
Ii ., subtle feeling of satisfaction and
the assurance of looking her best, but
even the woman who has never worn an
original Paris model is indebted to the
midinette, since the dresses OF women
the world over reflect her genius and
good taste.

the other the marketing of the pro-

time prove to be an important addi-
