PlAYTiME.
BY DOROTHY DIX
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman
Writer.

ROBABLY there is no other one
u subject over which there is more
] acrimonious debate in the family
circle than there is over the amuse'
ment question.
The average woman wants to doll
herself UP in her best evening clothes
and 20 about to dinners, parties,
theaters and restaurants at night. The
average man wants to put on his slip
pers and dressing gown and stay at
home.
The average woman, when she tells
you of the fly in the ointment OF her
happy married life, and. points to the
one defect in her good, kind, loving
husband, complains that she has to
stick at home evenings, that her hus'
band hardly ever takes her out any
where and that when he does he
goes with such grooming and bias
pheming and wears so much the look
of an Early Christian Martyr that 1t
takes all of the pleasure away.
And when the average woman
speaks with unconcealed envy of an
other woman's husband, she invari-
ably relates the number Of times a
week he takes his wife out to dine at
restaurants, and that they both take
dancing lessons and never miss a first
night at the theater.
The average man doesn't say much,
but probably his ideal of perfect
wife is woman who has lost both
legs in a railroad accident sc, she is
content to stay put in her own home.
1t is not without significance that men
novelists invariably depict their per-
feet female characters sas fireside
angels.
The thing that furnishes zip and
pep to this domestic spat about play
time is that both husband and wife can
make out a perfectly good case in
their own behalf, and that each OF
them is perfectly right from his or
her own point Of view.
The man says that when he comes
home at night, exhausted from his
days labor, it is as much cruelty TO
dumb brutes to expect him to put on
his soup.and-fishes and fare forth to

War Has Brought About Most
Unusual Conditions Which
Demand Special Study

The Y. NJ. c.. A. World Fellowship
meetings which are scheduled for all
this week are bringing together every
day a representative gathering OF
members of the local organization, all
of whom are earnest participants IN
the discussions. -.
Mrs. Frank Doane was the leader at
yesterdays noon meeting, and Miss
Mabel Schaefer sang There Is a Green
Hill Far Away" which was greatly
enjoyed by her audience. This after
neon at $3.50 Mrs. Norman Schenek is
addressing the Honolulu Girls Bust
ness club on the subject OF world fel-
lowship. 4 r.. .."":s,...:,
With reference to the particular
consideration given the needs and
problems of the women. of the United
States, Canada and South America.
which was the subject at yesterday
meeting, Miss Margaret Hearsey, or
the Y. W. G. A., said: - s..
The Address -
"The war has brought about in the
United States as well as in other
countries certain conditions which de.
mand especial study and attention at
this time. .~..@~. :--=..@
There are employed in munition
plants and at important ports thous-
ands of girls and women totally unfa.
miliar with the conditions and dan.
gers of such employment: There are
certain immediate and essential needs
which must be met to safeguard the
working conditions, the health and the
character standards Of these women,
and to this end special workers have
already been stationed at the Boston,
Washington and Philadelphia land
Brooklyn navy yards, and at indus.
trial centers in New Jersey and South
Carolina.
"At army camps about hundred
trained and experienced women are
divided among thirty-tWo mobilization
centers striving to provide adequate
recreational and social opportunities
for men and women together; to
maintain high standard OF social
morality; and to supplement where.
ever possible what is lacking in the
preparation of the girls to meet the
unusual situations into which they
have been thrown. -
Enthusiastic cooperation with the
Red Cross is evidenced in every one
Of the nearly three hundred cities In
which the Y w. G. A. has branches.
Courses giving instruction in specific
service, such as canteen driving, auto
mobile repair, telegraphy and wireless
are provided by the Y. w. G. A..
wherever it is represented.
Typical of the patriotic work that
the Y. W. C. A. is doing throughout
the states to meet the conditions
brought on by the war is the fact that
at Johnston. Pennsylvania, Y. w. G. A..
girls in the Red Cross chapter secured
5000 memberships. a third of the total
of the entire city.
The million dollar national budget
planned in July has been increased to
q four million dollar budget to be rails
ed by the 10th of December.
Most commendable of all. however,
is the fact that In spite of the greatly
increased home wefk this organize
ton is continuing steadily and sanely
its regular work in Oriental countries
and South America. The physical,
educationals social and spiritual needs
at young women are being cared for

AID RED CROSS WORK

Monday evening at 1880 the Filipino
club of Palama Settlement held their
regular weekly meeting. Many of the
members we're absent owing to the
enoampment of the National Guard,

cahpna, and Honorato Morada. The
regular business Of the club was

ton of the secretary, President Du.
mancas appointed L. A. SeQuito to fill
the unexpired term. After much dis.
cussion it was decided to give, an en-.
tertainment in the near future, the
proceeds of which are to go to the
benefit of. the Red Cross. The presi.
dent appointed the following commit
tee on arrangements: Francisco Tu-
billiha, G. Estante, Juannario Lopez,

Love Their Alrnlanas.

A thrilling story is being told which
illustrates the attachment of our fly
ing men to their machines. A young
pilot, not yet cut of his teens, was fly
ing high over the enemy lines when a
hail Of bullets suddenly overlook the
machine. One struck him in the face,
putting out his left eye, another shat
tered his leg, and the airplane was
riddled. To descend among the enemy
and receive medical attention would
have been easy, but with the numb
ness of death upon him he still re-
tanned consciousness enough to make
out our own lines and steer steadily
towards that goal. Amid tumultuous
cheering the machine at last came
down on friendly soil. The young avi-
ator died that night. His last words
we're: doctor, I'm sorry couldn't
bring the old bus home intact."-Lon'

SAVES MONEY FOR THE ARMY
Indiana Mess Sergeant Feeds His Men
for Less Than Twenty-Five
Cents Each a Day.

How an inexperienced man can feed
government troops and save money on
the job is being demonstrated at Camp
Taylor by Lucas Lincoln of this city,
says the Indianapolis News. Lincoln
is mess sergeant of the FOrty-secOnd
company, Eleventh battalion. He was
one of the first drafted men to go from
here, having volunteered out of his
regular order of obligation. He is a
son of a furniture manufacturer here,
and is married.
In letter home, Lincoln tells how
he is feeding 145 men for less than 25
cents each day. He says the food is
well cooked and that the men have
plenty. A sample menu, inclosed in
the letter, shows how Lincoln made a
saving of $17.38 on the governments
food allowance for the three meals
scheduled.
For breakfast the men had ham,
burger steak, biscuits and syrup,
hashed brown potatoes and coffee. The
dinner menu was vegetable soup, mac
arOni and cheese, bread and hot tea,
and peach cobbler. For supper the
men had boiled ham, mashed potatoes
bread and syrup, tea and stewed
prunes.

No eIadness Among Them.

Nearly a thousand years had passed
since the birth Of Christ before the
Russian Slavs were converted to Chris
tianity. Already the English, the
Franks and the Germans had been
Christians for some centuries, when,
in 987, Prince Vladimir sent ENJOYS to
study the religions of the various
neighboring nations whose represent
atives had been urging him to en-
brace their respective faiths. Nestor
describes their report in amusing
terms. OF the Mussulmans they re-
ported, "There is no gladness among
them, only sorrow and a great stencil
their religion is not good one." AT
Constantinople they said, I'VE no
longer knew whether we were in heav-
en- or on earth, nor such beauty, and
we know not how to tell of it."

FOUR HUNDRED TO ONE SHOT
Estimate of UnsentimentaI Brokers
That Lord Kitchener Is Not
Among the Living.

Legends once well rooted die hard,
Many people believe that Earl Kitch-
ener survived the sinking of the
Hampshire, and is either a prisoner of
war or, escaping in a small boat, has
reached some remote part of the
world and is living in anonymous re-
tirement.
The romance gained a fresh lease
OF life when Mrs. Parker, a sister of
the great general, publicly announced
at Hastings not long ago her firm be-
lief that her brother was alive and
would one day return.
1t Is impossible to argue the matter,
One can only believe or disbelieve. A
measure of credence which business
men attach to the story is to be found
IN letter printed in the Liverpool
Echo, Messrs. A. LettOn, Percival &
Co., insurance brokers of that city, say
that client of theirs wanted to know
what rate could be quoted to cover the
following risk:
That Lord Kitchener was alive on Au.
gust 81, 1917, the onus Of proof to be on
the assured, and to be furnished withir
three months from peace being signed.
LlOyd's underwriters were prepared
to accept ten thousand pounds at five
shillings per cent, and the insurance
If that is the right word for it, ha:
been completed.
The chances of Lord Kitchener be
Ing alive are, therefore, regarded b!
