For Kinu and Country

For King and Country
Captain Redmond was the first to
break the ensuing silence.
"Good God! Then it's come at lasty'
he cried in ringing voice.
"And the fleet! What of the English
feetY Ethel Willoughby exclaimed, as
her quick mind turned inevitably to
that most vital factor of Britain's de-
fense. It was pure patriotism that
prompted her question. For the mo-
ment all thought of Henry Streetman
and his constant importuning vanished
completely from her reckoning.
Sir George swept the little company
with a rapid glance.
"You are all practically members of
my family-at least regard you as
such," he said. Redmond, you are an
officer In his majesty's service-what
say is in absolute confidence"
Larry stood stiff1y at attention.
"Of course, Sir Georgew he an
swered.
Then Sir George told them what
Henry Streerman would have given
his soul to know.
winston Churchill went to Ports
mouth this morning. The British feet
sailed this afternoon under sealed or
ders and Churchill has offered his
resignation as first lord Of the admi-
rally"
At that terse statement Ethel VIII
loughby sank slowly upon chair. In
their excitement the others did not mo-
tice her agitation. Nor could they have
interpreted it had they OWNED it.
Something in the manner of an inspira-
ton bad come to her-a scheme, plot,
stroke of genius perhaps. At all
events, she saw in a flash how she
might yet serve her country in a man
ner that Is granted to few women or
even men.
Meanwhile Captain Redmond pom
dered upon Winston Churchill's pc
Guitar action.
"But why. Sir George -why?" he
asked.
Because he had no authority from
parliament to give such orders. If

Women are just learning how many
pretty things for the house can be
made of paper rope. They are weav-
ing baskets and trays, vases, lamps
and lamp shades. jardeniers, and
other things of this easily handled
and inexpensive material. 1t is sold
at the paper dealers and is nearly al
ways chosen in brown or green or
white. The white can be painted any
color to match decorations or wood
work.
All these things that are fashioned
from paper rope are made over wire
foundations. After a basket or any
other object has been finished, it is
vanished with shellac. This gives it
a good finish and adds to its durabil-
ity.
The basket for toilette articles
(Which might be used for almost any
other purpose) which is shown in the
picture, is made of white paper rope
and is woven with proper space on
the foundation left uncovered.
This space is meant to accommO-
date the narrow satin ribbon in rose
color that is strung through it. After
the weaving of the basket is finished 1T
is painted with white paint, or white
and another color. When the paint
is dry the whole surface is vanished
with shellac.

Crepe de Chine NegIisee.

If you are accustomed to receiving
your family and girl friends in your
bedroom, you will want dainty neg
ligee. The handsomest of these are
expensive when bought ready-made,
but you can make one of these for
few dollars and in a few hours from
crepe de chine, china silk, lowered
silk, MULE, albatrOss or cashmere. You
can make it empire in style, with a
bolero made of the same material or
of lace. A slightly large armhole adds
to the comfort. A negligee requires
about five yards of material and
little more than a yard of lace.

rosettes of gauze ribbon with a
length of ribbon extending between
them. Such a dainty and refreshing
object might be used for serving cakes
at five-o'clOck tea.
The bottom of the basket is cir

"Oh, it's everything everythingw
she told him with dry sob.
81 should never have gone away; or
having gone, should never have come
back-to make you suffer like this" he
said with bitter self-reproach. 1t hurt
him terribly to see her SO torn by her
emotions. "There, there, my dear!
Don't cryv' he said, patting her arm
with the tenderness Of a woman.
"Oh, let me! Let mel" Ethel cried.
FOR the blessed vent Of tears had come
to her at last. "Oh, Larry, why
couldn't 1t have been differently"
"Faith, don't know, my dearl But
now with you and me It's only dream
Of what might have been-and we
must forget" he comforted her
bravely.
"ForgetT she repeated brokenly.
"Well, we must try to-" he said.
I'VE must be friends-the best friends
In the world"
"We can't be just-friends," she told
him. She knew that their deep love
for each other would never let them be
merely that.
"We must bep' he persisted with the
conviction Of man who would always
do right. "We love each other too
much to be more-or less-than the
best of friends"
From the hall outside, voices came
to their ears And Ethel had scarcely
dried her tears before their friends
had returned to claim them for the din
ner party.
"Great Scottw Guy Falconer ex-
claimed as he came upon them. "StilI
chinning, you two? You never talk to
me as long as thatp' he told Georgy
Wagstaff with mild reproach.
you're not so interesting as Cap
tain Redmond" she retorted with the
cruelty of insolent eighteen.
''Well, admitting that" Guy said, for
he never plunged voluntarily into an
argument with Georgy, Admitting
that, I've seats for the Palace and
we've telephoned to Richmond for a
table. So let's hurry"
II don't think can go, after ALL"
Ethel told them then. She knew that
she was in no condition for the banter
Ing give and take of dinner-table con-
versation.
"Oh, Ethelw Georgy cried in obvious
disappointment. And "Oh, Ethel! Don't
spoil the partyv' Mrs. Falconer urged.
"Come on, Larry!' said Guy. "By
George, you do look glum-just the
same as did when Georgy first re-
fused me. Now I've got used to It."
While they were trying to persuade
Ethel to join them, Sir George Wag
STAFF entered the room. He bad heard
their voices as he was passing through
the hall on his return from his hurried
visit TO the admiralty. And since he
had news that he knew would prove
of great interest to them he had
stopped on his way to his own quar-
ters.
by Jove, Redmond! I'm glad to see
youl" he cried as soon as he caught
sight Of the returned wanderer.
THANK you, Sir George! It's good
to be back" Larry replied.
"As Britisher. you've come home
at the right moment" Sir George told
him gravely as he shook the captains
hand.
You mean that there's news OF the
Nar-had Dews3" Ethel exclaimed.

The Habit of Taking Cold

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that IS
easily broken. Take a cold sponge

get out of bed-not ice cold, but a
temperature of about 90 F. Also
sleep with your window up. Do this
and you will seldom take cold. When
you do take cold take Chamberlain S

quickly as possible. Obtainable ev-
erywhere.

Let Labor of Nation Be Warned
By Nelu York's Militia Program

While President Wilson is disclaiming
that there is no enemy in sight, and
while some very plain signs OF approach
ing world peace are manifesting them
selves, the great state OF New York, heart
OF the system and seat of the nations
money power, quietly slips over the
hardest jolt that has yet come to the
workers in this country.
Five laws have Just been signed in
that state that would seem incompre.
hensible if they were not SO self-evident.
These laws provide the following al
most unbelievable things;
Beginning August l this year, every
male in the state will be enrolled as a
member of the reserve militia
The governor has power to draft from
the reserve militia for the following pur-
poses:
To bring the active militia up to
strength.
To quell riots, uprisings, or almost
anything else that he may take notion
to quell,
1t is believed that the law gives the
governor and the military commission
power to select the individuals to be
drafted.
Any person who refuses to obey the
draft summons will be treated as de-
serter in accordance with the war code.
All children over eight years of age
must undergo military training in school.
