ISABELLA
ANOTHER YOUNG MAIDEN.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 Is it wrong for a school girl to have an escort-a beau-if it does not in- terfere with her home work? Is there any reason forbidding their exchang- ing rings? Is it wise to correspond, providing a girls mother knows of it?
 H. .B. H. ! Girls should not think of the oppo- site sex until their 4chool days are over. Having a beau would certainly interfere with your studies. A mas culi4e face would be peeping out from betweeh the leaves of every book Your reading would resolve into con- ming over his letters, your spelling on deciphering them, your geography in locating where he was living, you, music in listening to his musical voice A girl in her early teens has no busi- ness playing at love.

CORNER FOR COOKS
WHEAT FLOWER.

In using the wheat flour the damH , fine flour will be found to make the best pastry, while the dry, coarser variety makes the best bread In place of using the compressed yeast in dough raising there is a new pro- duct brought out by the same makers in the form of a dry yeast cake. It may also be had in a coarse yeast powder, which the professional cooks who are experimenting with 1t find just as good work and is always at hand for city or country use, so one need not depend upon delivery of the fresh yeast cakes.

FOR YOUNG GIRLS.


 Chuddah- cloth. one of the materials to which we are indebted to American manufacturers as a result of the war is used to fashion this very stylish coat for young girls. It closes at the side and the open neck is finished with a fiat collar of velvet edged with a mar row band of fur. This combination of trimmings fsEused also forftheB cuffs of the two piece sleeves. The coat may be made with or without the two-pfece belt, but for smart effect the velvet buttons can hardly be omitted
 In medium size the coat requires 17S yards 54-inch material. The back and collar, it will be noticed by the s.1lide are laid on a lengthwise fold of the goods when cutting out the coat. This means that these sections will be seamless. & fact which all home dress makers appreciate. There are two belt, sections. the pointed and straight. and these, with the cuff and upper sleeve sec ton. are placed over a lengthw1se thread of the material opposite the back. To tha right of the collar the lower sleeve ser ton is put into position and opposite this the front If preferred the belt may be laid on erosswise fold of the goods By following these directions no dimculty will be had in cutting the coat. and the cutting is of utmost inn portance. %
 About 1 F yards of fur and E ward 40-inch velvet will be needed for the collar and cuffs
 Chuddah cloth is lovely glossy ma terial. made of pure vicuna wool. bl1t it has the same silky sheen as kittens ear. sharks skin and similar cloths. In African brown it is unusually attrac- tive

WHAT A WIDOW
 WOULD KNOW
Dear Miss Libbey;-

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 am a widow-have been for four years. Am living with my people. I earnestly desire to secure work at some genteel employment. In the meantime-that is, until I secure such position-would it be proper to ac- cept money from a first cousin when in need of it?
 There are two different gentlemen who have asked me to correspond with them. Would there be any harm in requesting them to pay for the pos tage stamps at least? Last, but not least, should one have more than one caller at time3
 ALICE If the cousin will advance the mon ey on the basis of a 1oan--if very needy, you might accept it as such, remembering it must be paid in full later on. In regard to the postage stamps, you could not very well ask reimbursement for them. You might

HEY! COME ACROSS Watch
it grow is always the slogan when
anybody is running a fund. In The
Day Books Strikers Fund, however,
we think a better slogan would be:
Watch Who Is Helping It Grow"
1t has been right interesting to
note that the working man has been
helping the working man, or the
working woman has been helping the
working woman.
Before going any further, we want
to say, however, that there has been
one big exception, so big, in fact, that
this particular woman's . Ise is well
worth note all by itself. Need we
say that we refer to Frances Crane
Lille? She is one Chicago woman
who has plenty of money in her own
right who can see farther than the
eagles silver tail or the Goddess of
Liberty's silver nose.
Frances Crane Lille is really the
one who started the Strikers Fund in
The Day Book. She had offered
practically every other newspaper in
town $3.50 a week for five weeks, if
a fund for the striking garment
workers was started. Nothing doing
was the word from them ALL Then
she took it up with The Day Book.
The fund was started the next day.
1t has already run up over $1,400.
Mrs. Lilies total contribution; at the
end of the fund will amount to
$3.50. Much credit is due Frances
Crane Lille.

The balance of the money has
come from Fellow Workers, Union
Men, Union Bodies, Church Organ
izations, Teachers Organizations,
Socialist Organizations, Newsboys,
Friends, etc. They are all the work
ing class. They know the game of
the bosses.
We have not yet heard from ]. Og
Armour of meat fame, John Shedd of
Marshall Fields, Vic Lawson of The
Daily News, John Eastman of the
Journal, Hearst of the American and
Examiner, any of the other publish
ers, Louie Swift of beef fame, the
Appropriateness of clothing fame,
Morris Rosenwald of clothing fame,
the department store heads, the rich
Chicago bankers, the big theater
heads, or any of the other folks who
have some coin in their jeans.
It is never too late to come through.
This is merely to call their atten-
ton.
The striking garment workers,
when they are getting fair pay, buy
newspapers, meat, clothing, articles
from department stores, and, once in
a while, might get chance to go to
theater or bank dollar or two.
Fifty-fifty is fair game. By help
ing the striker win they will get
enough pay t olive right, and the
butcher, the banker and the clothing
maker will get their trade. That's
better than fifty-ffty.
Come across!
