Luxury In Puritan DAYS.

Walter E. Weyl in Harper's Magazine.
At no time, of course, was luxury COM
pletely absent from America. Men spend
when the purse is full, even though the
purse be small. Not all the sumptuary
laws of the Seventeenth century Massa-
chusetts could prevent sober Puritans
from launching into extravaganza; from
purchasing apparel-"wollen, sligo, or lyn-
men, with lace on it, silver. golde, silke or
threed." Even the pious slid back into
embroidered doublets with slashed sleeves,
into gold or silver girdles, hatt-bands,
belts, ruffs, beav hats" while women of
no particular rank appeared in forbidden
silk and tiffany hoods. A century later
we encounter disapproval Of John Han
cocks show and extravaganza In living,
of his French and English furniture, his
dances, dinners, carriages, wine cellars,
and fine clothes. Washington starved
with his soldiers at Valley Forge but lived
like an English gentleman In his home at
Mount Vernon. Luxury, pomp, ceremonial
were not absent In the Eighteenth century,
and even ardent democrats, who cheered
Citizen Genet and the glorious principles
Of SO, and who dearly hated all aristo-
Gratis, were not beyond the temptation Of
an occasional Venial luxury.

Serbian Women National Heroines.
THE Serbian People in War Time" b,
Stanley Naylor in Scribners.

1.-THE Serbian People in War Time" by
Stanley Naylor in Scribners.
"Our peasant women are national
heroines. Serbia is under an eternal
debt of gratitude to them she can new
er repay" M. Pashich, the Serbian
prime minister, told me, as he talked
of the astonishing fertility we saw ev-
erywhere around us.
Thus, last years crops were raised
in Serbia, and since. with the pitifully
primitive agricultural implements he
still uses, it takes the average Serbian
laborer two weeks to do what would
be q mere half days work in the Uni
ted States, this wartime task, left to
his wife and daughters, seemed all the
more incredible. Mercifully, the brave,
toiling women had no vision of the
wrath to come. A short time after the
Bulgarian bombshell burst, one Of them
was found wandering in the hills near
the Greek frontier. many miles from
her native village. Together with her
FIVE children she had escaped from the
little homestead she had worked with
might and main to keep together Just
before the Bulgarians laid 1t waste.
And now the poor mother was roaming
disconsolate and distraught. A doctor
pronounced her to be hopelessly insane.
So much, then, for Serbia's women
harVesters and that second harvest of
war!

GLOVE HINTS.

paper Syndicate.)
Nowadays washable gloves have been
so highly perfected that almost all Of
rs wear them.
There are many good kinds of wash
able gloves-chamois and doeskin, fab
rio and wash dress kid.
The first hint toward gaining econ
omy i'll wash gloves concerns their
washing. They must be washed ac-
eording to directions. Each sort needs
different treatment. Sometimes, di-
rections printed on slip Of paper come
inside the gloves. If they do. they
should be carefully read and needed.
For chamois gloves soapy water that
Is just warm enough not to be chilly
should be used. The gloves should be
thoroughly washed in 1t and then
wrung softly in the hands, then rinsed
In a second lukewarm, soapy water The
same method should be used for doe
skin. For washable dressed kid gloves
water that Is almost cool should be
used, with pure soap, and then clear
rinsing water.
A good way to wash dressed kid
gloves Is to put them on the hands and
wash them with soft flesh or nail
brush. All dirt can be removed in
this way.
This year. when long sleeves are in
fashion, we don't need so many pairs
of long white gloves as we have need
ed for several years.
One woman, with an economical turn
Of mind, who needed many pairs Of
short white kid gloves, cut off her long
gloves above the wrist, turned them in
and hemmed them by machine-and.
behold, she had the needed short gloves.
To be sure, the long gloves may be in
fashion again for day time wear in a
year or so, but in the meantime they
might have rotted out or grown yellow.
She sniped the raw edge, after cutting
1t, into smalk scallops, and then turned
1t under only once, to avoid bulkipess.
One of the troubles about channels
and doeskin gloves is that the snaps
pull out, often Of almost new gloves.
II this happens, the gloves seem quite
useless. One way to make them useful
again Is to pull the clasps out entirely,
70 buttonhole the hole left on one side
as neatly as possible, to pull the other
one together, or put a piece Of cloth
under 1t, and to fasten button there

Boys Add to ohio's Wealth.

In the American Magazine Stanley
Johnson begins a series of articles en-
titled. Youth Leads the Way" in which
he will report many new and wonder
full facts about the developments in
agriculture recently made in this coun-
Of the tremendous contribution made
by the youth Of America Is to be found
in the following brief extract taken
from Mr.. Johnson's article:
Twelve hundred boys in the summer
Of 1914 added $40. 000, 900 to the produc-
tice wealth Of the state of Ohio. This
was their response to the call for help.

age yield of corn per acre from 35
bushels to 81, a gain Of $20,000,000 a
year to the state says A. p. Sandles,
president Of the Ohio agricultural COM
mission.
II have chosen this instance because
it illustrates the need of help. the
awakening, and the way the people of
Ohio showed their appreciation. The
business men Of the state went deep
into their pockets and sent the entire
1900 boys to Washington, to New
York City, and later gave them a
trip to the big Panama show at San
Francisco. Young Arnett Rose of Lima

acre in 1913, and 1853 bushels in 1914.
But the Ohio people understood that
1t was the entire 1900 boys who de-
served their gratitude.
There was real need for this help.
The corn crop Of Ohio diminished, 49,
100000 bushels between 1912 and 1918.
That Is a very grave loss. Ohio's
greater population still lives in the
country-and her rural population en-
braces one twentieth Of that Of the re-
public.
But Ohio is not alone in this eco
nomic affliction; It is nation wide. And

royal marriages, always a lively topic
Of gossip, has been increased since the

Of marriage between the princes or

the throne, the duke of Clarence, did

That there are five boys in the royal
family here is a fact that widens the
field of speculation. A weekly paper
in its last issue, for example, pub
lished the portrait Of the two beau
tiful Rumanian princesses with the
hint that they might later be better
known in Britain, a safe and indefinite
suggestion in the circumstances.
Similarly it Is equally vague to
make suggestions with regard to the
large royal family in Petrograd, but
all the gossip selects no mate either
for the prince Of Wales or Princess
Mary. The cleverness, of the Hohenzol-
Terms in placing their children in so
many of the royal families Of Europe
has been the subject of many articles
in the British press during the war,
and it has been pointed out how this
has affected the diplomatic situation
