YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and Women
Who Have Shared II.
July 24-Moll Pitcher and John Hays.
By MARY MARSHALL,


1t was one hundred and forty-seven
years ago today that Mary Ludwig,
known to song and story as Moll Pitcher
became the wife of John Hays. Mary
was a servant-twenty-hve years old and
neither pretty nor clever-in the employ
Of General William Irvine, at Carlisle,
Pennsylvania, and William, her lover,
was barber of the same town. Had
any one told them at the time that their
names would become famous through the
heroism OF the plucky young wife they
would have been as incredulous as any
OF their neighbors.
Being humble folk, the marriage was
doubtless a very simple matter and II
seems evident that Mary did not give
up her situation just because she had be-
come the BARRIERS wife. Before many
years had passed the Revolution broke
out and the barber was one OF the first
from his town to go to the front Mary,
with true wifely devotion. went, too
not as an idle camp follower but in the
capacity Of field laundress and nurse.
Apparently Mary was much devoted to
this simple husband OF hers, whom she
followed in this humble capacity.
The story Of John Hays service at the
battle Of Monmouth Is too we'll known to
need repetition. John was a gunner in
Proctor's First Pennsylvania Artillery
and no soldier was braver or more eager
TO do his share Of the fighting. Suddenly
as he was ramming the gun assigned to
him, he was shot and severely wounded
Mary, who was doing her woman's part
by supplying the soldiers with water
from a nearby well, sprang forward.
Brave woman that she was. she spent no
time wailing over the calamity that had
befallen her husband, but SELLING his
ramming rod, took the place he had va
Gated before the gun.
The battle was raging too fercely for
explanations, but every soldier was in
spired by the fact that the plucky woma n
had taken her husbands place in order
to be avenged for his injury.
The next morning. still wearing the
battle-eoiled and tattered dress in which
she had worked the day before, she was
led to the great Washington, who made
her sergeant, a position which she nom
inally held for eight years.
After the death Of Hays, Moll Pitcher
as she is always known, was married
again, this time to Sergeant McCauley-

WOMEN'S PREPAREDNESS.
By FRANCES Marshall:

Whatever the immediate future Of this
country may be, there is sure to be an
added interest in the preparedness propa-
ganda~ And whether or not We believe
in militiarism, In national military pre-
paredness, We must all of US believe in
the sort OF preparedness with which wonn-
en- have most to do.
| That is economic preparedness
We are an extravagant nation. Nobody
denies that. not even the most extravs-
sant Of US, Nobody denies, either, that
women spend by far the most Of our
money. OF course. women spend most OF
the money for household expenses-ex-
penses which are incurred by the men of
the family as well as by the women
themselves. But, nevertheless. the actual
spending is done by women and 1t lies in
their power. If they are wise, to reduce
expenditure by eliminating waste.
So much has been said and written.
lectured and preached about waste, that
| 1t seems as II there were nothing more TO
say. But such a subject cannot be too
often thought about
| There are two kinds of waste. One
Is what we usually call waste-fruit
allowed to decay because it is not
| eaten when fresh. left overs thrown
away because it is too much trouble
| to prepare them temptingly. furniture
and furnishings discarded because 1t
| is too much trouble to put them in
order. payment made for short nSas-
ure or unsatisfactory service of some
other kind. The other kind of waste
Is extravaganza: this includes money
spent for non-essentials and things
not properly used. One woman will
make photography an extravaganza
She will buy reels OF films which
spoil before she thinks to use them
She will snapshot places and people
without focusing the camera prop
erly. She will. in other words, take
pictures just for the fun of taking
them.
| Now 1t rests with the women of the
United States to curtau useless or
| foolish expenditures They should
not. perhaps, hoard their money. but
they should spend it wisely. so that
there will always be on hand a sur
plus for the necessary expenditures.
The women of Europe have showed
themselves real heroes in the trou-
blous times through which their home
lands have gone. One of their ac-
complishments is the practice of wise
economy. Each nation practices econ
omy in a different manner from any
other nation. But in each of the Eu-
ropean nations at war the women
have harbored the national resources
and have helped to make them 60 as
far as possible.
The American women, naturally,
perhaps, more extravagant than any
of her European sisters. can yet bring
to bear on the subject of economy
a thoroughly western determination
and an up-to-date knowledge of
economics. Each household econom-
'cally run means Just SO much more
preparedness of the right kind-the
preparedness that makes for peace.
