ON PEACOCK ALLEY
BY LUCILLE CAMERON.

Never have the corridors Of the
big hotels been quite SO interesting
as they are now. In a short ten
minutes one may see French avia-
tors decorated with the War Cross
and Legion of Honor, stout gentle
men who are suspected of being
food SPECTATORS, slim gentlemen
who are known to be in the Secret
Service, debonair movie actors,
Scotsmen in kills. and handsome
English officers who really can un-
derstand American jokes. But,
after all, the feminine element is
the most vivid part Of the parade.
The tallest and best-looking OF re-
serve officers can only be a back
ground for a fresh, flushed, clear
eyed beauty clad in an authentic
Paquin or Cheruit frock. One fair
miss who approximated this descrip-
tion wore a unique tailfeur of black
duvetyne trimmed with a very long
fringe Of black and white fur sewn
to the edge Of her knee-length coat.

buttonhole stitching OF wool.

A THANKSGIVING THEME
FOR THE NATION
+ + J. + i i j. J. J. j. !. 1. !. .

In deepest reverence and with con-
trite hearts the people of this nation
should assemble on Thanksgiving
Day and render unto Almighty God
their gratitude that in His Divine
Providence we were, by the sacri-
fees of England and France and Bel
GUM and Italy and Serbia and Rou-
maia, for three years, saved from de-
struction.
AS the nation bows in reverent
thanksgiving on Thursday next and
contemplates the horrors from which
these nations have saved us, and how,
by the shedding of their blood, the
women and the children of this land
have been saved, there should go up,
in endless gratitude to them and
Thanksgiving, praise to God for His
mercies and His blessings.
AS we review the fact that for
three years we hid behind the battle
fleets of England and France. that
for three years the heroic soldiers OF
the Allies made fertile the fields of
France and Belgium and other coun-
tries with their life blood in our de-
tense, as we'll as in their own, our
hearts should be bowed with real
ization of our unworthiness and our
| lips should give forth unstinted
praise for the men through whose
death we have been saved. From ev-
cry church in America--indeed, from
every home in America-there should

preston of our profound apprecia'
ton of what they have done in saving
us from the sufferings which they
have endured.

be an expression of thanksgiving un-
to God and to our Allies that we have
been saved from the awful horrors OF

BUREAU o FMINES EMPLOYS WO.
MEN TO REPLACE MEN

The Federal Bureau of Mines is
opening its services to women as
never before. Since the beginning of
the war it has more than quadrupled
its clerical force of women employed
in the Department of the Interior at
Washington.
In addition to its regular force of
stenographers, typists, fling clerks,
etc., who work during the day, the
Bureau has been compelled to EN-
ploy night force, and this includes
about twenty-five women. These
night workers are employed at the
rate Of fifty cents an hour. The Bu-
reau of Mines is endeavoring to make
this work helpful to women who are
out of work or awaiting employment
or require this extra help. No wo-
man employed by the Government
during the day is permitted to join
this night force.
At the new Pittsburg Experiment
Station, which has Just been COM
pleted by the Government at cost of
half million dollars, w&men are be-
ing employed as fast as male vacan-
cies require and permit the substitu-
ton of female service. In the Bureau
Of Mines former force of two hun
dred employees at this station, which
occupied the old Arsenal grounds,
not single woman was employed.
They are now being employed as rap
idly as vacancies occur which they
car fill.
