the midst Of war. Perhaps we have
no time for bridge and five hun
bred" but that doesn't mean that
the card club to which we did be-
long should be disbanded. A very
good idea is 10 turn it into a mend
ing club. Nowadays people are
proud of their patches and darns.
and no one need hesitate at bring
ing the oldest garment TO be mend
ed. This is always largely handwork
anyway. and work that requires no
very close application. If your
nc;ghborhood club makes a pleasant
afternoon affair out of the mending
: Of its members, it does seem as if
you had done something wei worth
while
A party is not a party without
some sort of refreshments. If il were
only salt crackers and hot water, if
l. were daintily served with just
touch Of ceremony, I thing wOm-
en- would prefer it TO nothing at all.
But there is nothing to prevent the
serving of tea, for as yet tea has not
been put on the list of commodities
that we should use sparingly and it
is not much advanced i'm price. Waf-
ers or some simple sandwiches may
be served with the tea, and that is
all you will need. In fact, more is
not considered even fashionable
these days.
The members OF the mending
club all gather with a LARGE mend
ing bag. in which they have tuck
ed all the garments and linen that
has come up from the wash IN need
of repair. Even garments too badly
worn 10 he saved should he tucked
in with the rest. The mending club
should make a point of mending old
Things 10 send to those who are in
need Of them. It is always poor aims
10 send old, ragged things to the
poor, for the poor are usually less
disposed TO mend things than We
are, and if we send them things in
a ragged condition the result usual
~ is, that they are not mended at
ALL
The mending club does actually
prove Of much mutual benefit. for
som etimes members receive aid
from each other on ways and means

spot. Moreover. If the members
know that others are wearing mend

Daily Talks By Mary Pick ford
A DAYS OUTING.

Did you every try a novel expert
nent in making an outing? I did
and it was so successful that / want
all my Daily Talk" readers TO hear
about it, because they might want
to have the same enjoyment, them
selves.
The whole thing came up in one
Of those accidental ways that are so
delightful. Mother took me TO visit
a sick washwOman who had worked
for US in New York. If 1 could
just get a rest from the children
over Sunday" complained the wom-
an, I'D be all right for work Mon
day morning"
There were three small children.
just the noisy, troublesome age, and
all three had 10 be dressed and
cooked for and cared for. The poor
mother was in no condition 10 do
this and improve her own condi-
ton
MARY can take the children to
Bronx park, suggested mother.
They Will love to see the animals.
and Mary loves to see the wonderful
birds in that~park Everybody will
be happy"
We started out on Sunday morn
ing, carrying a well filled basket of
lunch, and all Of us full of excited
interest / have never seen such
wildly happy children in my life.
They never had been to see the ami
mails and birds in Bronx park IN
deed, nobody had ever had time TO
take them TO any park for an out
ing. Their joyous comments were
worth the trip, even if we had heard
nothing else.
There vas only one disappoint-
ment in the days excursion, and
that was when the guard at the en-
trance relieved us of our bags of
nuts. We could not feed nuts 90
the animals in that park, he told
us. This loss was more than com
pensated for when we witnessed the
wild rush Of boys leaving the park.
Each boy grabbed for a bag of nuts
as he tumbled out of the gate, the
laughing guard watching the scram
BILE, and off rushed the urchins, like
So many happy squirrels, 20 devour

their booty. SO YOU see that the
nuts were not wasted Every dag
there is ii scramble for conGscated
bags of goodies, because no child
may bring food into the park eN-
cept that intended for its own con
sumption
If you have ever seen children
shrek with delight at the gorgeous
wonders of an aviary filled with
birds of radiant plumage, and stand
in excited interest outside the bars
that cOnfine bears 10 their boulders
and ice-ponds, then YOU know what
IL means 10 have a good time. One
has an idea that IL means some
trouble and fatigue 10 care Tor
young children on an outing o. this
sort, but nothing could compensate
for the loss OF such an experience.
The fun. the laughter, the uneNpect-
ed comments that make the COM
panionship of the little ones so dee
ughtful. are things 20 make one
smile for many "a day afterwards.
Just try it and see what wonder
full happiness YOU can confer. I've
seen children carried 10 the horti-
cultural halls, where their delight
over the flowers is scarcely less inn
: tense than their JOY over the sight
OF animals from far countries, play
ing in their pens at the 100.
Children's minds are so original
and their observation SO keen that
they say the most startling and
amusing things i'm the world. A
grown-up mind never could imagine
the funny things they say. And
their comments open mp wider
vision to the grown-up. One who
had not spent much time among
birds and animals learns how many
points of view there are about the
works of nature. and what strange
ideas are suggested by many OF
them.
I'd love to think that some Of my
Daily Talk" friends Will tr5 the
experiment of giving some poor
working woman a days rest, while
taking her children 10 some park.
or garden. for "a holiday outing. The
pleasure you derive will be even
greater than the pleasure YOU con
fer.

To ignore NEUTRALS
in GREAT OFFENSIVE
Berlin Plans Great Spring Drive by
Land and Sea. Dispatches Say.
IBy the international News Service

1By the international News Service
London, Feb. H-GeTman public opin-
ion is rapidly being cTystalized toward a
new and powerful offensive on land and
sea, which will entirely disregard neutral
rights OF the restriction Of international
law, according to dispatches reaching
London today. The unrestricted subma'
rine warfare can now be put into full
swing, the period Of grace for neutral
vessels to get out Of the war zone hsv-
ing expired.
Troop movements in Germany in prep
aration for the spring campaign have
been in progress for several weeks
Everything in Germany is being subju-
gated to meet military emergencies. Train
schedules have been restricted and in
some Instances abolished altogether.
The prompt disavowal by the Berlin
government of the suggestion made to the
United States by the Swiss Minister that
a "parley'' be held to avert actual hos.
tilities is believed here to indicate that
the war party is in full control.
