What tools do you use in prun-

The special pruning saws with
short and long handles are best but
occasionally we use pruning shears
because they will cut small branches

To slay their foes and lift them

Thou cam'st, little baby thing
That made woman cry.

Yet on the road Thy wheels are not,
Nor on the sea Thy sail!

LOSS AND GAIN

Out of tE' waste and woe of war

OF gain. -. do not have most in
mind the gain in trade-that Is as
sured. The immediate effect is
loss OF our export trade, but gradu
ally our manufacturers and merch-
ants are seeing that this war means
Americas opportunity. 1t will be
Tor us largely to feed and clothe
starving and shivering Europe.
Many of the things We have de-
pended upon Europe for we will now
make for ourselves. ChemiCa 5, dyes,
perfumes, and a multitude Of toilet
and household articles, fairies and
textiles, we will find way to make,
and in the making we will evolve men
and women, and therein will lie our
chief gain
For as a boy grows when tn own

gan that is swelling into chorus,
aud will pass into the current coin

Why should we ook to Europe for
our fashions, when often these rash
ions symbol ineptitude, inconyeni-
ence, inelhciency and immortality?
American fashions will mirror the
mind of its honest American women,
rather than the lisping. limping, tor
tn ed creature of the pave of foreign
capitals. Why must We look to "Eu-
ropean Culture" chow ironical, now,
the phraseD for our art and our ar
lists? Haven't we the soil, the sun
shine, the summer showers, and the
winters snow, that produce people
OF quality and character? Not only
will we now see America FIRST but
we will hear America. And this dis
position to discover America and
what America offers will develop and
bring to the fore the things for whi:h
we search. Seek and ye shall find,
is a saying freighted with meaning
wide as the world.
But the great gain from this war
Ia in the heroic attitude or mind
which forgets to complain and de-
clines to whimper. The weather has
ceased to be a topic for conversation
We have discovered that all weather
Is good, and stormy weather glorious

The play is written IN rather elemen-
tary style and its fun. sometimes effec-
tive. is on crude lines. but In its entirety
the performance has rather a naive
charm. This is due largely to the nat
ural acting of the two boys who are the
real heroes and the judicious casting Of

tition it is dificult to predict the future
Of such a play. but there are lots of peo-

cess, "A Pair of Silk Stockings" comes

The cast has been considerably changed,

quite as much to do with the long run as
the merits Of the piece itself.
The farce Is SO very English In itself
and the company playing it SO thorough
ly London that a good many of the
points are lost on American audiences.
All the characters speak the British dia-
lect of the London drawing rooms, which
makes some OF the lines fail to penetrate
American ears as being in our own
tongue. Played by an American COM
pany. the speeches might be better un-
derstood. but the principal charm Of the
performance would be gone. The action
goes on in an English country home with
all the characters belonging to a rather
rakish set. Some of the speeches and sit
uations are decidedly risky, but they are
carried of with the refinement and poise
of the English actor reproducing upper
class English life They lose their Of
fensiveness because they are free from
any touch Of the rowdyish suggestion
