WINTER HOBBIES.

In a New York newspaper a few
days ago there appeared letter
from a Belgian' refugee in Holland
where he is confined until the end Of
the war. He asked for postage stamps
for he and his SON are collecting post
age stamps during their captivity.
A hobby Is tremendously interest
ing. and it Is easy to imagine how
much plea sure any postage stamps
which kind-hearted Americans send to
this Belgian refugee may cause-not
only to the man and his son, but to
others as we'll For other people en-
joy our hobbies.
Winter. with its long evenings. and
it's necessary hours when We are
for entertainment, is good time to
start riding a hobby. If you haven't
a hobby ready made make one to
order. If you like the outdoors, there
are all sorts of hobbies that NAV ap-
peal to you-gardening. If you live
out of the city, birds. in or out of
cities. moths and butterflies, trees.
walking. Book collecting is a good in
door hobby, but ii requires the ex-
penditure of a good deal of money.
Then there are various other collec
furniture, old
costumes, or anything else that strikes
your fancy. These require the expendi-
ture of money, too. But for very lit
tie money you can develop a good
hobby, one that will prove quite sat-
isfying. For instance, you can make
hobby of games of solitaire. If you
like cards. See how many kinds you
can learn to play and make list of
them. Buy the books on solitaire play
ing and learn the games your friends
can teach you.
Or, if you are interested in them.
collect magazine and newspaper pic
lures of the royal families of tho
world and in collecting them you will
post yourself on current history.
The outdoor hobbies. if you start to
follow them in the winter, ought to
prove most interesting, and by spring
time you will doubtless find yourself
impatient to follow them out-of-doors.
For instance, If you take up garden
ing. buy a couple of good garden
books and send for some seed and
plant catalogues. Then plan your gar
den on paper. and if you can sketch.
work out the color schemes with COL
ored pencils. The fun of an indoor gar
den is that you can plan it over half
a dozen times and change it and
work over it to your hearts content.
And IL you take up moths at this
time of year, and butterflies. buy the
few standard books on the subject,
or one of them at any rate. Read it
and everything else you can get on
the subject, and search for cocoons
out-of-doors. Keep them until spring,
when ,hey ought to hatch. If you find
them hanging on a leaf or twig, keep
them out-of- of-doors, for they would die
il kept in the heat of the house. But
confine them. Of course. in a net cage.
Begin to buy your outdoors outfit
make a net, buy some drying frames
and some mounting pins and frames.
And when spring comes you will have
ready-made hobby with which to
greet the returning outdoors life.

The fluffy and vulgar gowns worn
by the chorus girls in New York"
says Nine. Petrova, ARE immodest
and will never be anything but fads
Dress is the most important thing
in a womans life whether she be as
sociated with the stage or not. She
should always dress attractively and
becomingly, making herself beautiful
and sweet, even if she does not stick
exactly to the prevailing style. There
are so many different pretty styles
that she will never be far from proper
People without means cannot dress
SO well as wealthy ones. but they

any one else if they but use a little

was easy.
Enthusiasm, for one thing; and an
ability to get out of herself, the abil-
ity-which is sometimes said to be
left out of the makeup Of women-of
looking at facts impersonally. the
ability to forget the eternal ego.
1t is a fact that the reporter girl

HOW IMPORTANT IS DRESS?

How, in your scheme of things, do
you value the importance of dress
that is, personal appearances that re-
suit from careful grooming as well
as actual dressing?
Do you look upon pretty and be-
coming clothes as mere frivolities and
pleasures, or as legitimate part of
your daily equipment? And do you
feel that to look we'll is your duty
quite as much as it is source of per-
sonal satisfaction?
When a celebrated actress and
great stage beauty comes out with
the statement that to women dress
is one of the all-important things in
life-as Nine. Petrova has in her
most recent interview-you are in
clined to think that she spoke merely
from the actress point of view.
But when the late Father Phelan
the fearless priest, reformer and
editor, whose death ST. Louis folk
are still mourning-is quoted as hav-
ing said that it "is the duty of girls
to look as pretty as possible" we
need not hesitate in admitting that a
readiness to keep up personal ap-
pearances is surely one of the FEM
mime virtues.
1t is a heritage from our stern
soulcd Colonial ancestors that in
clines us to discount the virtue of
wishing to appear we'll? We are al
ways little afraid to admit that we
want to look our best; always ready
with excuses lest some one might
accuse US of having given the subject
more than the most casual attention.
Every true daughter of Eve really
takes pleasure in planning and think
ing about the adornment of her own
person, yet how often we are ready
with the statement that eve really
hate to have to think about Clothes"
or that CLOTHES are such an inter
Ininable nuisance" Whereas if we
but spoke with perfect frankness we
would have to admit that one of the
pleasant things about changing sea-
sons is the pleasure we derive from
decking ourselves out in new ap-
parel, and one of the joys of our sys-
tenn of an ever-varying fashion is
that we feel in each change the pos
sibility of a style that will be more
becoming to our own face and figure.
If you have ever noticed it, the girl
who does look pretty-who looks as
pretty as her natural endowments
will permits almost always happy.
She is usually healthy, too. Prettiness
and happiness and health seem to go
hand in hand. And it is not only that
healthiness leads one to be happy and
pretty, but that the satisfaction OF
presenting pleasing appearance
makes one incline toward happiness
and health.
Yes, it is perfectly normal,
wholly commendable instinct for
young girls to wish to look their best,
and we admire the good old Father
Phelan for his statement, even
though he did shock a number of
Puritanic dominis when he made it.

SCRIMMAGES FOR ARMY.
Cadets Will Have Three Strenuous
Drills on Successive DAYS.

WEST POINT, N. Y, November 22-
The excellent physical condition of the
Army men will permit of heavy work
for the next three days and the coaches
announce that the cadets will get hard
scrimmages today, tomorrow and We'd
nesday as part of the preparation for
the Navy game in New York next Sat
urday. Although no definite announce
rent 10 that effect was forthcoming it
is felt that Jones, the 200 pound line
man, has been chosen to face the Navy
at right tackle. An injury to Parker,
the veteran in the Springfield game,
caused his early retirement and Jones'
work as a relief man stamped him as
aggressive and fast. He is the heaviest
and one of the speediest of the Army
forwards and undoubtedly has come to
stay.
Gerhardt's work at quarter was only
fair and the pilot position as well as
one guard job is still to be definitely
determined. Murrill may get the call
to play quarter after all. He has shown
considerable improvement of late He

contests which can possibly have d

So far this season the Army seems to
have had the edge on the Navy. The
Sailors cannot boast of as good a year
as the Soldiers in any particular, and
they are banking their hopes on the
final contest to round out what will be
to them all that is necessary to insure
pleasure over the season as a whole.
But more of this contest later.
Georgetown's team takes the longest
trip that has ever been the lot of any
Blue and Gray eleven, being booked to
meet St. Louis University in st. Louis
Thursday. The contest partakes Of the
nature of an intersectional affair, and
should give the Hilltoppers chance
for comparison with several western
elevens. Georgetown expects to win,
and should do so, as there seems to be
no question about it's being represented
by one of the strongest combinations
in the country. That the Blue and
Gray would compare well in game
with any team that might be placed
against it none can doubt In the
packdeld, in the line and in each de-
partment of play the Blue and Gray Is
well capable of taking care of itself,
and it should feel no worries over the
outcome of the battle Thursday.
The only contest scheduled Tor
washington is that to take place on
GEORGETOWN Field between Catholic
University and Gallaudet. The Ken
dali Greeners have not made near the
showing this year that the Brookland-
ersr have, and are not possessed of as
strong combination. They are hop
ing however, to make their last con-
test a sufficiently brilliant victory to
| make up for the loss of several of
their others.
The Cornell eleven must win from Penn
/ syIyania in order to uphold the status it
already has attained. A victory for the
| Ithacans by decisive margin over the
! Ouakers undoubtedly will cause them to
| be ranked at the top of the foot ball pile,

their record and probably turn the tide
