LYING ABOUT the RED CROSS.

A lie travels with sever league boots.
Nothing is fast enough to catch and
hogtie the lies that are peddled from
lip to lip Of the Red Cross work. Moth
ing seems too ridiculous for some per-
sons to accept and retail. So the ut
terly unfounded and scandalous stor-
les of the oma who recognized the
sWeater she had knitted worn by a
citizen and demanding to know where
he got it discovered that he had bought
it at a certain store, the other equally
ridiculous lie of the woman who knit
ted a pocket in the sweater in which
she put a IS bill and by some sort of
Sherlock Holmes investigation found
that the sweater and the money had
been stolen by officials, it and all the
other tales of similar import and char
by persons who know no better and
often by persons who do no better. The

Y. NJ. G. A. derelictions circulated by
calculation and accepted and distrib-
uted by the ignorant and those who
seek excuse to refuse contributions to
the funds. They are part of a pro-Ger-
man campaign in this country and
those who repeat those lies lend Them
selves to the enemy.
Those stories are in the mouths VI
reputable citizens-to the shame of
those citizens be 1t said and said plain
ly. 1t should be said to their faces by
those to whom they relate the I'M
truth.
1t is a shameful SANDER for any man
or woman to circulate. That il makes
conversation and satisfies a craving for
cheap Se"l1SdtlOnallSGn Is not al excuse
but further cause for swift condemna-
ton of those who crave and those who
satisfy 1t. The scandal monge and the
scandal seeker are on a par with one
another.
That huge expenditure is being made

should have beeing doing for the past
decade, getting ready to defend our

time for even more foolish purposes.
The chief value Of good clothes
Is their internal, as wen as their
external effect. The girl in q new
suit, hat and furs, who Is conscious
that she looks very stylish and
smart, walks better and feels hap
pier, and generally Is more success
full, than the woman in shabby shoes
and year-before-las suit. I've told
before the story Of the young girl
hunting work, who had Just seven
dollars to her name, no job in sight,
and her feet were on the ground.
She spent the whole seven dollars
for good pair Of boots that made
her look smart instead Of shabby,
that redeemed her old suit and hat.
Then she went after the most prom.

I'm not going to teach my daughter
how to cook. ThereT be time enough
for them to learn that after they get
married" Or I'm going to indulge
my daughters In everything I can. 1t
will be time enough for them to do
without things after they are mar
ried." and the mothers dump these
selfish, undisciplined, incompetent
girls on unsuspecting men without a
pang Of remotse for the misery they
are inflicting on the poor husbands.
Among my acQuaintances is splen
did young fellow full of ambition and
energy and talent, who would go far
except for the handicap he carries in
the shape of a wife, whose mad ex
travagance keeps him continually in
debt. Whenever his wife is denied
anything she bowls and shrieks, and
makes such scenes that the poor hus'
band gives in at last through sheer ex-
haustion. And her mother backs her
up In her tantTums by saying, "Of
course, Tom, know you can't afford
1t, but you'll have to get it for Gladys,
because she has never been denied any
thing In her life, or forced to do any
thing she didn't want to do"
What a way to bring up a wife for
a man! What a crime Murder would
be a less cruel thing to do than TO
raise a girl to make some man misera-
BILE for life, or boy to be the kind Of
a husband that makes a woman wish
that her bridal veil had been her
shroud.
And here is the anonymous thing
about it all: The very mothers who
are raising up the sort of husbands
and wives. who will be a curse to
some other woman's children, are
praying that their >own children viii
get exactly the other kind Of matTi-
monial partners.
Is II not time that women tried to
be just in this matter, and that every
mother had 1t on her conscience, to
make her boy and girl such a husband
and wife as she would be willing to
see them marry?
When that time comes we shall
have the, domestic millennium, and
marriage win cease to be a. failure

, quires no marvellous gifts nor super
nal qualifications. Nobody wants TO
be married to an angel. The most that
any Of US ask in our helpmeets is just
a reasonable amount Of self control
| and unselfishness and justice and CON-
mon fair play. And IL added to this
We could get some real sympathy and
| tenderness and appreciation, we
should consider. ourselves among the
most blessed Of all mortals.
Suppose, for instance, a mother
started out with the benevolent in.
tention of raising her son up to be a
good husband for some unknown little
girl. She should teach him the ele.
mental moralities, and that a man is
q bastard who deliberately wrecks a
woman's life by marrying her If he is
drunken or diseased.
She could teach her son the chival-
roGs attitude towards women. She
could teach him to be generous and
unseltish to his wife. She could
teach him all the little things, the
little attentions and courtesies thpt
women love, and she could make him
such husband as would make his
wife's heart sing for JOY.
But does she DO this? She does not.
Nobody ever even heard a mother
talking TO her son about being a good
husband, or considering his wife in
any way. The mother lets her bog
grow up selfish and surly and filled
with contempt for women and their
ways, and Ne marries to be just as
tyrannical and inconsiderate q hus-
band as his father has been before
him. - -. ?,
Nor Is the mother any more con-
cerned about providing some hapless
young man with.a good wife than she
! Is some unfortunate young woman
with good husband. She raises her
daughter up to be spoiled and extrava-
CANT and lazy and .shIftless, with no
consideration for any other human
being on earth but herself.
She doesnteyen leach her daughter
how to cook or to manage q house, SO
that her husband will be sure Of a
comfortable home. She doesn't teach
her daughter how to sew or how to
save, or even how to spend money so
as to get the best out OF It, so that she
may be q real helpmeet to her hus-
band. Il
On the contrary, nothing is more
common than to hear mothers say,
