A PATRIOTIC CREED FOR
LOYAL AMERICANS

The following patriotic creed has
been promulgated by the national
patriotic instructor of the G. A. R.:
l am an American, and love my
country.
| love my country because it is op-
posed to tyranny and unjust privilege.
love my country because it is a
democracy in fact, where the people
govern themselves.
| love my country because it is
governed by laws, and not by Official
favor.
l love my country because it stands
for honorable peace and has no desire
to annex other lands or territory by
conquest
| love my country because it asks
for itself nothing that it would not
ask for all humanity.
| love my country because it is the
land of opportunity for all, regardless
of birth or circumstances.
| love my country because women
are honored and respected.
| love my country because it re-
spects labor and holds the drone in
disfavor.
| love my country because of its
free public schools and because it ex-
tends the rights and privileges of
native citizens to all who obey the
laws, and interferes with no mans re-
ligion.
love my country because can live
my own life, and where no man is
good enough TO govern another man
without that other mans consent.
love my country because it reveres
he memory Of those who sacrificed
INTO death that she might live, and
loes not forget TO honor those who
urdyed the carnage Of war in de-
ensc of my country and her flag,
which I also stand ready TO defend ;
With my life If need be. Is

who have enlisted in reserve forces

better to allow women to choose theirs
own costumes. In SO doing they appearl
to far better advantage and stimulate,

ton, a fashion expert said that in a

| matron who usually has her own way
| in clothes and who consequently at
tracts attention to herself and has many
followers.
| The introduction Of the 1erkin of
| Robin Hoods day, made in colored
| leather. belted with the material. and
fastened with a great silver medieval
buckle. was advanced on the golf fields
| Of this country and has become FAR
more fashionable garment than the
sweater.
| The Introduction of a Chinese sleeve
less jacket made Of dull-colored satin.
, worn over frock OF white. black or
| beige wolfe. was the experiment of a
| woman who Is too well dressed not to
| show that much of her activities are
| IN the direction of choosing clothes.
| For the same axiom that Alexander the
Great used toward his son when he
said that the ability to play the flute
perfectly argued a misspent life is ap-
| plicable to the woman who dresses to
perfection on all occasions. Her life may
not be miSSpent from her own point Of
| view or from that of the dressmakers
and dress reporters. but in the last
analysis the public will think 1t Is.
Another experiment Of the American
! woman. which could not have its source
in Paris, is the universal use Of i'm
mense garden hats trimmed with brill
liantly colored flowers as a part of city
apparel. The American world is quite
used to the great hat Of straw in coun-
try gardens. beaches and on the
benches Of athletic fields. but this is
/ the first summer that women in great
centers of activity have worn the So
restaurants and for all manner of social
life.
Their popularity has kept back the
usual wave of black velvet hats which
rushes over us the middle of July. Paris
may launch its velvet hats on August
/. according to tradition, but the beaches
of Deauville will not see much of a
fashion parade this year, and the French
world will be more interested in the
type Of dressing gown that is comfort
able for its wounded soldiers taking
the sunshine at that once ultrafashion-
able and expensive resort.
All the world has been in the habit
of gathering there the first of August
to see the races. This season the cables
say that few smart groups will go
down as usual. and the dressmaker will
exploit some new clothes, but there is
no chance for the supreme display that
took place when France was at its
height of pleasure making.
Another individuality which has been
brought out Is the Waistcoat of checked
silk or cotton with round yoke collar
of itself, also a cravat finished in a
sailors loop with two ends.
Time was when we always considered
it necessary to wear an entire shirt
waist under a coat Today. since good
taste demands that we do not sit in
public in our shirts!eevee. the neckwear
people have reaped A harvest through
the various kinds Of sleeveless bodices
which they have invented to go under
a coat substitute for a blouse. Or
CANDY, chiffon and white muslin in
various weaves are conventional fabrics
to for these fronts that allow the
coat to be unbuttoned, If not removed.
But the new note IS the departure
from the white to the checked fabrics.

simple. The early French models which
dominated fashions were sold out in a
hysterical wave Of bargains early in
the spring. Nothing has taken their
place. Our designers have not risen to
the occasion in mass. as many of the
clothes critics in America thought they
would, If given a chance.
