n TlSS Pcnny-Wise-and- Pound
IV Foolish walked twenty blocks
the other day to save car
fare and wore out dollars worth
OF shoe leather! Incidentally she
provoked such an alarming appetite
that it made quite a dent in her
pocketbook to pay the check at the
end of her luncheon feast. But Miss
Penny-Wise was very pleased because
she had saved five cents in car fare,
so she informed me. And do you
know that when l laughed at her she
was really quite disturbed and told
me that l was unappreciativc of her
efforts TO lay foundation for her
future fortunes?
OF course, what she lost by being
Penny-Wisc she gained in health, as
there is nothing better than walking,
but l doubt if this serious young lady
would ever have tsen eonstitu-
tional but for the idea that her bank
was waiting for that nickel!
Bargain seekers often face the
greatest disappointments, but it has
become a fad or a hobby for some
women to style themselves econo-
mists and pursue the phantom of 1919
less. Sometimes it is 1919 more, as
they exhaust their vitality, which
might have proved itself creative if
it were directed in broader and more
profitable channels. How triumphant
woman is when she comes home
from bargain day, exhausted! But
| she has the assurance that she has
saved a penny or two upon little pull
| chases even at the expense of neg
lected home and children, who have
watched and waited in vain for
mother, as she leads veritable army
of scrambling femininity in their
march upon the long counters OF
Haunting reductions.
The girls around the studios who
do not spend their earnings upon
foolish trinkcts and the latest fadS,
but make it business to save each
week, can afford sensible and finished
wardrobcs, which are great boost
and boon to them when they are
called upon for roles demanding
well-gowned types.
Some women are like some gar
mcnts-thcir interest is only in the
exterior and they care little about the
seams, which may be ragged and
uncertain, threatening at any moment
to unravcl and destroy the ensemble
1t is as if they view themselves be-
fore a mirror and preen themselves
like the peacock, who does not wish
to see his ugly feet. These are the
women who buy cheap, dowdy clothes
in the hope they will fool the public
but unhappily they only fool them
selves because our eyes become
trained to see the real through the
false, even to jewels and fabrics.
One scrviceablc suit of the very
best material is much more economi.

which may be more effective or chic
to the eye, but at the end of few
weeks is faded and distorted in shape

necessarily carry itself to the girls
who can afford many suits, but my
heart is always with the working

Governor Mcdonald, in the event Gov

Republican attorneys, it is stated,
are now seeking legal means to pre-.
vent Governor Mcdonald holding over,

Governor Mcdonald cannot legally be
prevented from continuing in the ex-

THE WAR TODAY

FIGHTING is continuing on the

est In the operations Is ~oyershad-
owed by the pending peace pro-
posals Of Germany and her al
lies. The proposals are vclurn-
inously commented upon by the
press Of both the entente and
Teutonlc allies, but with the
handicap Of lack Of definite
knowledge Of the terms upon
which Germany and the powers
allied with her are willing to dis
cuss peace. In general the tone
Of the entente press comment Is
not optimistic as to the probable
success Of the overtures. Ger
man newspapers lay emphasis
on the offer as a sign Of strength
rather than weakness. Great
Britain's attitude, according to
London dispatches, may be made
known In the house of commons

cient for her to consult with her
allies.

TREACHEROUS AND CLUMSY TRAP,
VIEW OF FRENCH NEWSPAPERS
(By Leased Wire to New Mexican)

LONDON, Dec. 13.-The German peace proposal is re-
jected by the "Times," which says:
sGermany's proposal bears no relation whatever to the
objects for which we are fighting. She has been trying by all
the means at her disposal to induce us to make the suggestion
of mediation. The attempt has l~amentably and conspcuously
failed. AS she does not judge that any neutral power could
proffer mediation with much advantage, she falls back on this
indirect offer to the beligerents. 1t is above all things a
symptom Of her conscious weakness.
ssThe allies must absolutely reject any idea Of mediation
in any shape and from any quarter as long as the basis pro-
posed is the triumph Of might and not right. They must re-
fuse with equal frmness to even talk about an armistice unit.
the lands which the enemy have oyerrun are restored and com
pensation made. They must renew the enunciation of their
peace terms, laid down once for all in Mr.. Asquiths guild hall
speech and must redouble their efforts to force these terms
upon Germany and her accomplices.'

President Wilson Undecided

WASHINGTON. D. c. Dec 1s--President Wilson's course of action IN
connection with Germanys peace proposals remained undecided today while
he awaited the official proner which the central powers have asked the
United States to transmit to their enemies.
The impression grew that while the presidents first consideration was
to safeguard his usefulness as a peace maker by emitting any comment
which might possibly be coupled with a rejection by the entente powers,
there was a disposition to find some way. however delicate and informal to
intimate the sincere wishes of the United States that some basis for discus
sion at least might be reached. Et
The probability Of the entente allies themselves making some announce
|ment of the terms which they would make peace Is regarded here as
having tremendous possibilities for effect upon the German people them
selves. H
Among the entente diplomats no attempt was made to disguise their
apprehension that President Wilson, in transmitting the German proposal
might make some move toward mediation. At all the embassies, it was
said such an offer would interfere seriously with the plans Of the allies.
Its effect upon the peace movements in the allied countries also was taken
into consideration in that connection. So

Reichstag Shows Confidence

BERLIN, via London, Dec. 13-Tne speech OF Chancellor Won Bethmann-
HoIwegg before the Reichstag in which he declared that Germany was willing
to make peace was not marked by a single expression of dissent while the
significant passages were greeted with hearty braves and cheers. It was
noticeable, however, that Count Friedrich Won Westarp the conservative
leader, and others of his following, sat silent and unmoved, even when the
galleries and newspaper men joined demonsrativeIy in the applause.
When the chancellor had concluded his speech al attempt was made to
force al immediate debate, under Major Erbst Bassermann, leader Of the
National Liberals, and Count Westarp, supported by the extreme Socialists.
This move as firmly resisted by the leaders OF the moderate parties, who
agreed with the chancellor, that a general discussion Of possible peace
conditions before the attitude Of the enemy powers was made known could
only iniure the cause of peace and place Germany a a diplomatic dsadyan-
tage. Their attitude was that II the central powers exposed all their cards
before peace negotiations began they would be placed at a disadvantage.
Indefinite adjournment Of the Rechstag by its own decision leaves the
government a free hand to conduct further negotiations and is regarded as
tantamount to a vote of confidence.
