Most schools for girls issue catalogues
and In these you will usually find list of
clothes needed for the school life OF course
your wardrobe will depend somewhat on the
nnancial standing of your parents, but more
on the school itself. for no well-bred girl
should be permitted to take such an
elaborate array of clothes with her to school
as Will arouse envy in the other students
Many schools have regulation uniform for
the girls, usually consisting of navy blue
serge dresses or navy blue serge skirts with
white MILDLY bouses. You will also need
serge bloomers for gymnasium, tennis shoes
high-laced tan walking boots, black shoes or
black pumps with spats for dress, and a
pair OF evening slippers. A number of
sets of underwear, a heavy bathrobe, bed
room slippers, "a one-piece dress a tailored
SUIT, topcoat, one or two simple dinner
gowns, dress hat. sports hat, several
pairs OF white kid gloves. heavy tan gloves
and a sweater or two will see YOU through
nicely. One or two simple dance frocks will
also be quite useful.

The Code of Health

THERE is a right way and wrong way
l. Of living, just as there is a right and
wrong way of doing everything.
The wrong way Is to live carelessly, TAX
Ing no thought for consequences, eating or
drinking whatever fancy dictates or con-
venience suggests and following every va.

The right way is to study the laws of
health as revealed by scientific research
and to find and follow the biologic or
scientific way.
After careful study Of the subject for
many years the writer has ventured to
formulate the following simple health ak
IONS as embodying the principles essential
for long, vigorous and efficient life:
Health Axiom No. Live out of doors
as much as possible day and night.
Health Axiom No. 2-Eat biologically-

Millions of yards of cloth will be saved
in this way, the master modistes calculate.
There isn't bit of use to grouse about
1t. The decree has been issued. and that's
all there is to it, The news came by cable
yesterday, and, with cable tolls what they
are, it's an awful certtude that the news
Is only too true.
Philadelphia dressmakers and ladies'
tailors are iGclined to give a brace of
rousing pooh-poohs at the idea that Paris
can put anything over on American fash
ions at this late date They hold that the
American woman has set her own styles
since the beginning of the war and will
continue to do so. SO much for fashion.
But when you come to the question of
patriotism. there's something else again.
Paris has been using five and one-half yards
of goods with which to make skirt and
now proposes to get along on four and
one-half yards. Is such patriotism to be
the exclusive property of Paris? Newer
This dauntless assertion was what set
young male hearts bounding along the city's
shopping thoroughfares yesterday. They
are wearing 'em virtually up to the knee
now, it was whispered eagerly, and if an
other yard goes off
August has been delightfully."- cool hasn't
it?
You can't always depend on early re-
ports from the Dressmakers' Syndicate in
Paris" said =. J. Walsh, an authority on
such subjects And, anyway, the Ameri-
can woman adopts fashions to suit herself.
II they are going to use only four and a
half yards Of goods for a skirt over there,
they'll have nothing on the American
styles. We used only that much last year.
The autumn and winter styles we will show
are made up with three and one-half yards
There was time when seven and ne-half
yards We're used for a suit, but not now
Five yards were enough last year.
HOOVERIZING PETTICOATs
But as for the length, skirts will be a
little longer, il anything. They couldn't be
much shorter could they?"
Among the more thoughtful element vari-
Gus replies were made to this question
Philadelphia department store buyers
were equally reticent. At one, however,
the opinion was freely expressed that skirts
material would be scanty to a degree. Only
from two and one-half yards to three yards
OF material would be used for single
skirt, entering no exemption claims, II was
said. In contradistincton from the skirt
of last season, known the barrel skirt"
In which the lines widened noticeably along
the eastern and western salients and then
converged under a heavy barrage, the next
big drive would be carried on without
any flare between hip and hem, the goods
dropping austerely from the hips to a point
considerably north of the pavement.
So. all considered. 1t seems probable that
considerable portion of the $50 OOO. 900
worth of woolen or worsted used annually

can gather in the harvest. Nothing
worth while ever sprang up over night.
THIS lesson Of patient cheerful waiting
L is going to be very forcibly impressed
on us during the war. The women OF
Europe have already learned It and have
bravely held on from day to day, waiting
in agony for news of those they love,
waiting in suspense and fear, waiting In
privation and toll, but waiting strongly,
because they realize that impatience
weakens their powers of work and their
ability to be really helpful.
There is no reason to doubt that we.
too. must face the same trials or to fear
that we will be less admirable, but 1t is
well for us to acquire the habit in little
things now so that when the need arises
We too can go up and stand beneath the
cross" just as bravely as the women who
have gone before us from the beginning
of history. Patience is sometimes found
In women, though the old adage says it
is seldom" but then we can pat ourselves
on the back, for "it is NEVER in man!

LEARNING TO WAIT HARDEST
LESSON TO LEARN FROM LIFE
Impatience Is Weakness of Character Which
Fritters Away Both Mental and
Physical Energy

only In the breach. but in the observance.
One of the returned soldiers. asked what
he had found most trying in all his war
experience, which had extended over
more than two years, answered: wait
Ing; standing in the trenches waiting for
the command. Actual privation is some.
thing one can tackle; the charge, the
feht are thrilling, exhilarating; but the
waiting! 1t is then that you feel fear
creeping UP from your very toes to grip
your heart 1t is then that you realize
what you are about to face"
1t is not difficult to see the truth OF
this under those circumstances, but even
when we are under no particular strain
there are few things more exasperating
TO normal, healthy individual than wait
Ing. though it may only be for a train
or the late conner at an appointment.
Mahomet declared that Patience is the
key to contentment" the old proverb says,
"All things come to him who will but
wait; and one of the most encouraging
and inspiring quotations ever made is,
Never think that Gods delays are Gods |
denials; hold on; hold fast; hold out"
1MPAT1ENCE is futile thing it ex-
Ahausts, wears out the energy and really |
gets nowhere. The woman who is always |
