Patriotism Orders Us to Beware of Buying up
 Useless Things Which We do Not Need Just
 Because They are Bargains and Che

NhM OMEN the world over realize
 NWW that we are now at war and
 therefore patriotism demands economy so it is well worth remembering the time-worn saying of one Benjamin Franklin who said that I've must not pay too much for the whistle" or, at least, make quite sure that the whistle is worth buying at any price.
 There is an old English Proverb which says:
 What we don't want is dear at farthing'
 To the reckless, spendthrift woman who goes a-bargain hunting these days, this IS good advice, for even though any par ticular article is very allurng and appar- entity very cheap, unless we really do need it we ought to realize that it is very dear at any price.
 How much better it is to put your money in the bank and get the interest on it than to put it into some fabric or material and lay the same away in tissue paper carefully folded in the family pack ing trunkl
 I speak feelingly on this subject, re- calling a wonderful piece of chiffon Tn pale pink with gorgeous roses embroid- cred on it, which sold for, oh! I'd hate to say how many dollars yard and which on bargain table one day was marked down" until it was within my reach and 1 fell for it.
 The material is no earthly good to me. I've kept putting off having it made up for some two years now and I've never had the time or the inclination or the most important part of it all-the money to buy the other materials to go with 1t and have it made into a frock. So my ambition, that living up to Lizzie effect, you know, will probably die a natural death and my handsome embroidered chiffon be eaten up by the moths or else rot, when l might have been drawing the interest on my perfectly good $25 or $50 which never brought me in a penny.
 The only consolation any of us can pos- sibIy get from such experiences Is that there is hardly a natural, normal woman in the wide world who has not at some time yielded to the same subtle tempta- tion, but it is a very good lesson to fel- low sinners who may be saved much money and more anxiety if they will only profit by it.
 With wartime prices and war time ne- eessities for economy, every woman in this fair land of ours should practice saw ing, as we do not know what is coming after the war. We do not know to what straights we may be put During the civil war our mothers and grandmothers scarcely had clothes to their backs. They had almost next to nothing to eat. Children were lucky if they had pair of shoes and altogether conditions were ap- palling. Is there any reason why such conditions should not obtain after the present great world war?
 Nobody knows, not even the President himself, nor the high financial moguls of the world when this terrible strife will come to an end. It may last for years, and if it does, the condition of the wom- en and children of Belgium, Poland and other grief-stricken, sorrow-ridden coun- tries abroad will be duplicated by the con- dition of American women, so it behooves

 The Anniston Star of recent date con tained the following news of former Bir- mingham people who have many friends here:
 "A most interesting evening was en- joyed Saturday by numbers of soldiers at the rest room recently fitted up for their use by the First Methodist church:
 Mrs. K. N. Matthews had charge of the musical programme, and the audi ence showed it's enjoyment by encoring each number Rev. K. N. Matthews spoke a few words of welcome to the sol diers, and MT. Heating spoke, commend ing this movement for the soldiers. One of the soldiers arose and expressed, on behalf of the soldiers, appreciation from the depths of the heart of a home sick boy.
 Mrs. A. W. Smith has charge of the rest room, which is open every evening from to 10 o'clock.
 Tables containing games, writing ma terials, victrolas and smoking room have been placed at the disposal of the soldiers. Members of other denomina- tions may aid the Methodists in this worthy project by sending newspapers and late numbers of magazines to use in the reading room.
 '"The rooms were beautifully decor ated Saturday evening with pink asters. Each soldier registered as he came in"

need things, and find them ma down" We ought to be shot for not bosl4 ing them. Lots of us can't buy things at all until they are marked down." but what Is particularly deplorable just at present is an inclination to buy things which are not needed. just because they are cheap
 There are some things that are partic- ularly desirable during this our first year of the war, which if we can get cheap should be scooped up like hot cakes. Silks are one thing, shoes are another, velvets and plushes are going to be almost prohibitively dear, their price in France now, we are told, being almost double. Few things are being imported, so that woolen goods cannot be expected to be bought at very moderate prices. Gloves are going up every day, and if there is ever sale don't fail to lay in a supply.
 You may think I'm "butting in,' as the saying goes, by airing my views on this subject, and of course, you don't have to heed the advice so gratuitously given. but keeping these few hints before youl and remembering that it is war times ' you may safely go a-bargain hunting with a certain amount of confidence that youV can really buy sensibly and economically with an eye to the coming lean and hun gry days.

 I don't think there is anything in the world more fascinating than a bargain sale" I've walked into them with my eyes wide open knowing that I had no business on earth buying certain things, but I couldn't resist the temptation to save my life Something just seemed to push me on to make me buy, and I've heard other women say the same thing.
