''Oh, don't mind what 1 say; got
to bed at three o'clock this morning,
and I'm dead" The speaker smiled
in distractingly pretty way, way
that had never failed to charm the
lucky person upon whom it was. be-
slowed.
If the person in question had been
any one of a number of girl friends,
she might have smiled back and said
something light. But this person
was not one of Nellies intimates,
neither did she think it at all neces-
sary to let an impertinent remark
slip by without comment, so she said
dryly:
MY dear, what makes you allow
yourself to speak that way? Do you
know that it absolutely changes you,
and that nine-tenths of your pecu-
liar charm lies in your expression"
Nellie stared. She was not accus-
toned to being corrected by anyone.
Possessed of weak mother and an
adoring father-one deploring the
run over her, while the other was
sure that no matter what either of
the boys did. Nellie could do no
harm-the girl had never known
what 1t was to receive adverse crit-
cism.

speaker.

But the woman was not stupid and
she decided to try bluffing.

Fashions of To-Day BY May Manton

There are two quite different
ways in which you can make
this blouse, as it is here with a
complete under-bodice and a
separate over-portion, or with
the over-bodice attached to the
under-arm pieces and the un-
der-bodice omitted. In the
illustration, the under-bodice
is made of Georgette crepe and
the over-bodice is made of satin.
That combination is liked for
the separate blouses as we'll as
for the gown, and the char
meuse shows a little braiding
design that is worked in worsted
couched on, that treatment
being a new and q smart one.
For the medium size will be
needed, IA yards of material
44 inches wide for the under
bodice, yard "a for the over
portion to make of two ma
terials.

Life'sProblems
Are Discussed
By Mrs. Wilson Woodrow


If anyone would have told us three
years ago that patriotism would
again become a national sentiment,
an individual creed, instead of being
the sole monopoly of George Cohan.
we would probably have replied with
AN expressive "Fiddlesticks!" or
whatever was its slang synonym OF
the moment.
Would anyone have believed
three years. ago that the old-sound-
ing periods of the Fourth of July
orator, to which we used to listen
If not exactly with tongues in cheek
still with a slightly amused tolerance,
could once more stir us to mad en-
thusiasm; that the first strains of the
Star Spangled Banner would bring
us all to our feet and proud to be
there; that every sight of the passing
colors bring a lump to our throats
and tears to our eyes?
Three years ago, in the pre-
war period, we congratulated our
selves on being civilized. And be-
ing civilized meant to us to regard
the primitive emotions with a super
clious detachment. The Importance
of being earnest weighed as nothing
with the importance of appearing
frivolous. Big enthusiasms big pas
sions. a big devotion to any ideal was
distinctly bad form. 1t savored of
melodrama; and melodrama ap-
pealed to the child mind, not to the
sophisticated intellect.
Three years ago, if anyone had
asked us, Are you a good Ameri-
can?" the chances are that we would
have answered a little hesitatingly,

have seen the lines of fun about that

true that little Essie Croft was max

the game. She had been sorry after

had lost her temper suddenly and
had not troubled to disguise the fact.
John Manning had been present
then.
1t was true that Esther Croft had
the evenest of temperaments, and
the sweetest of ways. Was it posi-
