Do not judge from mere appearances.
for the light laughter that bubbles on
the lip often nantes over the depth
Of sadness, and the serious look may
be the sober veil that covers a divine
peace and Joy. The bosom may ache
beneath diamond brooches, and many
a blithe heart dances under coarse
wool.
Assuming the above to be true, we

That New Suit.
what am | going to do about that
new suit l must have?" said Martha
Weaver TO her husband as he came in
from work one evening.
why is there any question about
that? Go to Hopkins & Co and get
what you need. If you need a suit get
it," answered her husband.

Martha, but they haven't anything
that | want. just need simple suit,
but want good material. and 1t must
be neatly and well made, one that l
could use for almost any occasion.

answered Martha.
Msrtha's Heart Sank.
Martha had little difficulty in look
ing up" the catalogue. as the house
seemed full OF them. aud after critical
y examining the suit pictures simple
blue took her fancy. The description
correspondent with her idea Of what she
wanted; the trimming looked neat and
Of good quality. The price was salts
factory. so after debating for some lit
tie time she decided to send for II. A
draft was forwarded. and the long vigil
pending the arrival OF the suit was as
depressing upon John as upon Martha.
At last II came-express bill and all
and eagerly the box was opened and
the suit laid on the bed for inspection
IL did not quite measure up to the pro-
portions Of the picture In the cata.
logue. The color was not good. There
was too much coat and not enough
skirt. and. besides. the skirt was not
1raped as the advertisement said. It
Just hung. and hung uneven at that.
The work was not neat: the trimming
and inferior. Marthas heart sank to
zero. She knew she would be asham-
I'd to wear that suit mt home. much
less among her well dressed friends.
What was she to do? She needed a
suit badly. but she realized that to
attempt ar exchange would result as
dlsastrOusly as in the first place. and
she could Ill afford another new one.
Defects More Pronounced.
The longer Martha had the suit the
more numerous and pronounced be-
came its defects. until at last her pride
rebelled. and she refused longer 70

she would much prefer TO wear
"gOud" old suit than poor new one
For with the poor new one 'She was
conscious and ashamed when she felt
any one looking at her or her suit
Mr. and Mrs. Weaver held a CON
sultatiOn. after which Mrs Weaver de-
clared that never again in her life
would she buy anything from a pic
ture or from a catalogue house.
Amen" said John. I'VE have had
cur lesson. Had you bought that gar
ment from any Of our local merchants
md it proved unsatisfactory he would
have insisted on your exchanging it or

MACHINE is INVENTED

Daily Output Is 10000 Discs, War
ranted Good for Year.
A machine, reported to have been
invented by two Iowa men, according
TO claims made will turn out 100000
small individual pie crusts in a day.
This invention, it is believed, will add
a new industry in many large com
munities and another article to the
long list of "ready-made" supplies that
have become acceptable to the great
majority of consumers OF prepared
foods.
All the cooks will have to do when
pies are needed, its promoters claim,
is take a number CT c,usts for small
individual pies from the carton, spread
the pumpkin. lemon cream, custard,
or other filing, and place in the oven
and lake. The crusts turned out by
the machine are warranted to remain
good for year.
At present only lower crusts are
produced, but just why the upper
crust is ignored is not explained. Min
neapolis reports the presence of pro
moters in that city who are looking
about for likely location in which to
start pie crust factory.
Opportunity is now suggested for
some quick.acting geniul to devise
means Of producing and marketing pie
filters in tubes.

The Hotel Rochambeau, on Twenty
Second Street, is an old brown-stone
building that at one time was large
and very handsome private residence.
Having been turned into a hotel,
the basement dining-room naturally
became the cafe, while the Office was
to be found on the first floor along
with the main dining-room and the
smoking and reading-rooms. This
aoor was reached by means of wide
flight of brownstone steps leading up

 To Search Out Resources. The first effort is to find out the re- sources of each community and then the state. We are prepared not only l to register individuals, but clubs and their objects. The National League
 for Woman's Service is working in
 close cooperation with the Red Cross and all registrations for medical nursing and hospital work are refer lred immediately to that organization When the registration work is started the women will be c1assed in various departments such as home economies heauth, agriculture, industry, medical nursing, motor driving, signalling,

 The question arises when the men
 are called out to service and the wom- en take their places in the factory,
 what are you going to do with the children Someone must take care of the children and there must be tho establishment of a nursery.
 Miss Christie urged that the nucleus Of the organization be formed this af- ternoon and briefly outlined the meth ods of obtaining registrations. It is hoped by the local ladies to secure ganization work will be done through these headquarters. The first step in organizing the local work Should. be the registration of volunteers as men adopted and under the emergency plan there are no charter fees and no membership dues. In communities where mothers are employed during o at fsllT ant and welfare division should ascertain what facilities, if any, are provided in the community for the care of babies and school children. while the mothers are at work. Day nurseries could be established, clubs provided for the re- creation and the care of school chill dren between the time school closes and the time the mother gets home from her work could also be estab- lished. Tn case telegraph, telephone or railway communication should be broken at any time in any community detachments of motor drivers should be prepared to establish communica- tion service for the army. should this be necessary and also for civilian in terests. Members of this detachment should be required to pass a test as knowledge of the mechanism of the motor and to secure certificate of efficiency from a motor school, or a recognized motor expert

Tn this country We have the wonderful advan- tage of being able to benefit by the two and half years of experience of the wonien in Europe and to profit by their mistakes, as we'll as by the mag nificent work which they have accom- plished and through the fact that Bn- gland and France were so little pre- pared at the outbreak of the war, the National League for Woman's Ser vice was organized.

 To standardize Work.
 The object of the organization as stated in it's constitution is to coordi-. nate and standardize the work of the women of America along lines of con- structive patriotism; to develop the resources and to promote the effi- ciency of women in meeting their ev- cry day responsibilities to home, to state, to nation and to humanity; to provide organized trained groups ir every community prepared to co-oper- ate with the Red Cross and other agencies in dealing with any calamity, fire, food, famine, economic disorder, etc, and in time of war to supple meut the work Of the Red Cross, the army and navy, and to deal with oues- tions of womens welfare. The slogan of the organization is For God, tor country. for home"
