There are some matter-of-fact, high
ly practical ways in which women can
manifest their patriotism. They are
not at all spectacular-just plain, ev-
eryday, commonplace services-but
they leave no room for doubt as to the
sincerity that prompts them. First of
these is the conservation of food for
future use. 1t appears that an abun-
dance of vegetables and fruits will be
grown this year and it is up to the
housewives to see to it that much
greater" quantities are canned, dried
and otherwise preserved than in nor
NAL times. Then, in case of shortage
in any quarter, there will be reserve
to call on in other localities.
About the next most useful thing to
do is to gather up all old materials
that can be used to make surgical
dressing, and have them thoroughly
washed. These materials may be
shipped to the National Surgical Dress
ings Committee, at 200 Fifth avenue,
New York city. In old materials the
committee asks for linen and cotton,
blankets and spreads, sheets and pill
low cases, tablecloths and napkins,
towels and underclothing. This COM
mittee is thoroughly organized for war
relief and is engaged in making a va
riety of surgical dressings out of old
and new materials. Many cities and
towns have subcommittee who gather
ond forward donations to hpodou1r-
ters. Over 1000 hospitals are served
on the continent and over 100000
dressings have been shipped to them.
Women who have the leisure, may
organize subcommittee in communi-
ties that have none. The national
committee welcomes the names of peo-
pie who might be interested in form
ing subcommittee. Volunteer work
ers make up old and new materials
into surgical dressings and all other
work is donated, so that the real spir-

Some women contrive to do their
own housework in neat housedresseS
that bespeak them the mistresSes of
their occupation. They never look
driven and overwhelmed by work, or
as if they were left with no time to
consider the matter of personal ap-
pearance They look capable-aS they
are-of meeting the obligations of life,
that are of all, most important, and
their housedresses tell their whole
some story.
The house dress, like the tailored
suit, is here-was here and is always
going to be here, like bread and but
ter. Its business is to be strong, con-
venient, plain and shapely and to
stand wear and tear with little change
of aspect. 1t must be put to the test
of the washtub and emerge therefrom
fresh and whole. Because it is plain
Is no reason why it should be unattrac-
tive.

SINGING CALLED LOST ART
1t Is Now Confined Chiefly to Profess
sionaIs, Drunkards and Phono-
graphs, Says Writer.

Singing, as far as most people are
concerned, Is a lost art. Thousands
attend operas, recitals and musical
comedies, tens of thousands wind up
monographs; but as for singing them
selves informally at their work or play
they have forgotten how. In times
past people of all ranks sang together
as q matter of course. Sailors sang at
their work, peasants, shepherds, cow
boys-all had their favorite and ap-
propriate songs. The songs of chill
dren at games, the lullabies of moth
ers are in the collected ballads and
folklore Of many peoples, says the In
dianapolis News.
1.-THE pastimes and the labors of the
husbandman and. the shepherd" says
Andrew Lang, "were long ago a kind
of natural opera. Each task had its
own song; plowing, seeding, harvest,
burial-all had their appropriate bal
lads or dirges. The whole soul of the
peasant class breathes in their bur-
dens as the great sea resounds in the
shell cast up on the shore"
Nowadays the whirl of machinery
makes all the noise. The workers in
mills might find it unsatisfying to sing
at their work, but it is doubtful if they
would sing even if their voices could
be heard; while singing in an office or
store would pretty surely be stopped
by the "boss' or the police. Thou
sands congregate every night in the
silence of moving picture theaters, and
even in the churches where singing by
the congregation used to be customary
the attendants now usually listen in
silence to paid singer.
Singing in this age is largely con-
fined to the professional performer,
drunken men and gramophones.

it of service is maintained throughout
the organization.
A great work Is to be done for the
American Red Cross. Its membership
must be brought up to the strength
required by the war and that is the
first business in hand. Individual men,
berships for one year, cost only one
dollar and two dollars will pay for a
years membership and subscription to
the Red Cross magazine, which is is
sued monthly. Nearly all communities
have chapter or other representation
of the Red Cross, but where there Is
none anyone may send in an applica-
tion for membership addressed to the
American Red Cross, Washington, D.
c.. We must look to the Red Cross to
save the lives of wounded soldiers
and every American woman will want
to help in this matter.
There are many activities in the
work of the Red Cross that are in the
hands of women. The making of hos
pital supplies, comfort kits and many
other things for the soldiers will keep
big army of women busy for some
time. This part of the work is done
under the supervision committee on
hospital supplies and workers in each
community must be trained in order
to make and pack these supplies up
to the standards required by the o. S.
army. Hospitals, churches, schools,
clubs and organizations of all kinds
are assisting in this work. Glasses for
instruction are being formed every
where. Pupils in these classes are be-
ing taught how to make bandages,
hospital garments and everything
needed, how to pack them in the right
way. and fitted to teach others to do
this work. Unemployed and especial
ly unmarried women, can give much
of their time to this work and every
woman will want to have some part in
it.

you'll have to wait till he'sthrough

you'll have to wait till he's through
rehearsing." said the young man, and
then he came over to Rose.
The vestiges of the smile the duch-
ess had provoked were still visible
about her mouth when he came up.
MAY wait and see Mr.. Galbraith
after the rehearsal?" she asked. "If
I won't be in the way2"
Sure" said the young man. "He
won't be long now. He's been rehears-
ing since two" Then. rather explo-
sively, "Have a chair.''
He struck Rose as being q little
fiustered and uncertain somehow.
1t was a long hour that Rose sat
there in little folding chair-an hour
that, in spite Of all her will could do,
took some of the crispness out Of her
courage.
O'Clock, Galbraith said: "Quarter to
eight, everybody" and dismissed them
with nod for scurry to what were
evidently dressing rooms at the other
side of the hall, the. ship of Roses
hopes had utterly gone to pieces. She
had plank to keep herself afloat on.
It was the determination to stay there
until he should tell her in so many
words that he hadn't any use for her.
The deprecatory young man was
talking to him now, about her and the
duchess evidently, for he peered out
into the hall, then vaulted down from
the stage and came toward them.
The duchess got up, and, with
good deal of manner, went over to
meet him. Rose didn't hear what the
duchess said. But when John Gal
braith answered her, his voice easily
filled the room; "You tell Mr.. Pike,
if that's his name, we haven't any
vacancies in the chorus at present. If
we find we need you, we can let you
know"
He said it not unkindly, but he ex-
ercised some power of making it evil
dent that as he finished speaking
the duchess, for him, simply ceased to
exist. Then, with disconcerting sud
denness, he looked straight at Rose
and said: "What do you want?"
She'd thought him tall, but he
wasn't. He was looking on perfect
level into her eyes.
II want a job in the chorus" said
Rose.
"You heard what I said to that 9TH
er woman, / suppose?"
"Yes," said Rose, 'but :"
"But you thought you'd let me say
it to you again"
"Yes," she said. And, queerly
enough, she felt her courage coming
back.

lowed porter to carry her bag into
the waiting room. There she tipped
the porter, picked up the bag herself,
and walked out the other door; crossed
over to Clark street and took a street
car. At Chicago avenue she got off,
and walked north, keeping her eyes
open for placards advertising rooms
to let. 1t was at the end of about half
a mile that she found the hatchet-
faced landlady, paid her three dollars,
and locked her door, as symbol, per-
haps. of the bigger, heavier door that
she had locked upon her past life.
Strongest among all the welter OF
emotions boiling up within her, was
perfectly enormous relief. The thing
which, when she had first faced it as
the only thoroughfare to the real life
she so passioRately wanted, had
seemed such a veritable nightmare,
was an accomplished fact. The week
of acute agony she had lived through
while she was forcing her sudden res
olution upon Rodney had been all but
uncomfortable with the enforced con-
temptation of the moment of partin.

nearer. There had been terror, too.
lest when the moment actually came,
she couldn't do it. Well, and now it
had come and gone! The surgery of
the thing was over.
Rose busted the mirror with towel
"a reckless act, as she saw for her
self, when she discovered she was go
ing to have to use that towel for
week-and took an appraising look at
herself. Then she nodded confidently
there was nothing the matter with her
looks-and resumed her ulster, her
rubbers, and her umbrella, for 1t was
the kind of December day which called
for all three. Then, glowingly con-
scious that she was saving nickel by
so doing, she set off downtown afoot
to get a job. She meant to get it
that very afternoon. And, partly be-
cause she meant to SO very definitely,
she did.
On the last Sunday before Rose went
away she had studied the dramatic
section of the morning paper with
q good deal of care, and was rewarded
by finding among the news notes

rare and cotton fabrics are the best
for them. The heavy ginghams, galatea

Plaid gingham, in white and green, is
used for a sailor collar and for a belt

for the cuffs. The belt buttons in

side with bone buttons. This allows
it to be spread flat for ironing and
adds to its trim finish.

that if this vessel were steaming
