When In the course OF June events
1t becomes necessary for the bride to
proceed to the altar. she is wise
woman who makes the most OF her
maid of honor. Let the girls who pre-
cede her stateliness be arranged like
the May in costumes that befit their
youth and the dignity Of their mission
and let the dress Of the maid of honor
be varied just enough to accent her
presence and add another interest to
the spectacle.
Those who take upon themselves the
delightful task of designing COSTUMES
for the wedding procession, have been
prOdigal of Ideas this year. But as
one mind they seem to have settled on
pale pink for the garb of maids and
flower girl. The pink Is mere blush
Of color through net or lace, or in love
ly georgette crepe, and it seems that
nothing else could be quite so pretty.

found the answer. The question
Is: "What can I do, now that
my country is Mt war, to help? What
shall be my part and how shall | play
1t with credit to myself and to the adj
vantage of my community" Probably
the answer lies closer home than most
OF us imagine. The first thing we
women must learn is-to not be terri
fed. Some Of those who are dear to
us-dearer than life, perhaps-must
follow the flag. We must school our
selves to be willing to see them go and
acquit ourselves as beseems first-class
women. There is no use shaking hands
with trouble until we meet it. but If
we must meet it, let us meet 1T bravely.
The women of France have made a

Then Warren rushed through the front

surprised his pretty daughter, Lois, and

An unwelcome visitor stole into Po-

out shortly afterward with much coin,
says the Los Angeles Express. The
caller was a revenue agent who coll

churches, clubs and other organiza-

similar articles were taxed. Two of

"Good-day Mr.. Warren" said Adrian,
with martyr-like air. II know that

Adrian moved away. The ireful War

he reflected and caught the echo of
sob from Lois on the front porch and
noted the waving of a limp, tear-stained
handkerchief after the lost lover, his
face softened.

the New York Bureau of Municipal
Research and to a number of engi-

whose supervision the collection work

FORECAST OF BAD
WEATHER UPHELD
Now His Rule Is Ended and
Spring May Be Expected
to Come Forward

To-day the rule of the grounding
ends.
Just six weeks ago Bre'r Grounding
turned in his long winter sleep, rubbed
his eyes and glanced at his perpetual
calendar. Finding it to be February 2,
| he ambled slowly out of his hole for
the first look at the landscape since
late last fall.
Bre'r Grounding didn't need to go
very far that morning to know it was
neither the time nor the place for an
animal that loved the balmy days. He
! had not ventured ten feet away until
the degrees above zero began to bite
| his tender nose.
Possibilities for the breakfast to his
liking seemed very, very slight. When
| he turned around to obtain a better
view of the cheerless landscape, re-
! t1ected on the surface of the snow was
another grounding strikingly similar
to himself That was the last drop of
aff1iction for the morning. To be
dogged by a phantom brother on the
day of his first annual walk was an
insult and a disgrace. None of his
ancestors would stand for it., neither
would he. Turning tail he streaked
for the friendly shelter of his hole as
fast as his short legs would permit.
Six Weeks of Bad Weather
True to the power that the ancient
superstition gave him, he has sent the
six weeks of bad weather. Variety Is
the spice of life and Mr.. Groundhog
exhausted every means at his disposal
to give a collection of bad weather.
This morning when he awoke from
the six weeks rest and walked to the
front porch of his dugout he found a
sunshiny spring day that would de-
| light the heart of a more confirmed
pessimist than the grounding. The
| old superstition limits his power to
the sending of six weeks of good or
| bad weather to follow the six weeks
| of bad, but every other sign points
/ strongly for the early approach of
spring. Besides it is JGst as easy to
| blame those six weeks on the weather
man as on the grounding, but it is
much kinder to blame Bre'r Ground
hog. Despite the fact that he was
much maligned during his winter va
cation he slept on just as peacefully
as ever.
| The old-timers who warm their
| hearts with the tales of ancient folk
lore believe strongly in the forecast
of the grounding, To doubt his power
in many sections of the state and
| country is considered blasphemous.
Many an old-timer whose work is con-
fined to 'raisin' garden sass" this
morning took down the rake to pre-
pare the ground for the early onions.

SAVING LIVES OF SOLDIERS
Suggestion That Women Make Sac
rifices by Contributing Blood in
Cases of Emergency.

The. suggestion that women make
the heroic sacrifice of contributing
blood to be used in transfusions to
save the lives of wounded soldiers has
been made by Capt. William B. Orear,
examining medical officer attached
to the army station at Savannah, Ga.
''This," stated Captain Orear, "is
the most practical sacrifice that the
women Of the country can make at
the present time. In the emergencies
of military surgery, the direct trans
fusion Of blood often acts as life
saving procedure, even in desperate
cases apparently doomed to death
from exsanguination. Largely on ac-
count of certain difficulties in the
practical application of the method,
it has not been generally adopted, al
though operating surgeons are agreed
as to its value and efficiency.
"The inestimable advantage of the
TRANSMISSION Of human blood, in the
cases Of profuse hemorrhage, which
are unfortunately so common in the
experience of all war surgeons, has
recently again been emphasized by
Primrose and Ryerson, in England.
The three great virtues which this
method combines are, briefly, in
creased coagulability of the patients
blood, improved local resistance of his
tissues to infection, probable survival
and continued function of the trans
fused (properly se'ected corpuscles.
TRANSMISSION of blood from a tested
donor, during or directly after an alb
dominal operation for bullet wound,
acts not only as an auxiliary to the
surgeons efforts, but may turn the
scale in favor of the patients life"
