they did not sacrifice anything but their
opinion. Far over hundred thousand
yards of wool were saved by this meas
ure alone. and the small samples were
as productive of orders as the large
ones.
1t has also been found unnecessary to
have such a vast variety of designs and
weaves. A few standard worsted ma
terials serve the purpose of this con-
tinent. and so, through the conservation
OF designs, man power will be saved
and vast sums of money and huge
masses of wool conserved.
Women need not fear for their ap-
pearance under the prohibition of wool
They can bark back to the days of the
directoire when the women created
fashions that have ruled generations
since then. out of the odds and ends OF
material which they were able to pro-
cure. They made striped silk skirts the
fashion, skirts SO narrow and slim that
only their length redeemed them from
ugIiness, and yet, when they added the
velvet coat with it's position back, the
splendid waistcoat with its great frills

reached over the wrist with their dan

It may be prophesied right here that
there will be more novelty shown in

there has been for several years or,
possibly, ever before. 1t may not be

this one measure alone, introduced by
the American manufacturers, thousands
of yards of wool which could have been

of clothing in this country were not

the economy board persuaded the manu-

TOMORROW MORNING.: A Chronicle
Of the New Eve and the Same Old
Adam. BY Edith Barnard Delano.
author of June" etc. Boston:
Houghton MifIin Company.
A genial and entertaining story, In
which the same old Adam sets the
same old sources of domestic trouble
The woman part of the world persists
in taking Adam seriously. She is re-
luctant to acknowledge his prodigious
vanity, even to herself. She Is equally
backward in recognizing his ceaseless
craving for novelty. So. the woman
part of the world goes on trying to live
with a man who does not exist at all,
one who is the mere creation OF man
own swollen notion of himself. Trouble
is the outcome. SO it is in this story.
Adam fell to the lure of the new girl in
the house-and 1t must be admitted that
the girl was some lure-but she was
hardly conscious of Adam, except as
bait for other angling that she had in
mind The story goes on, in very
fresh and diverting manner, over the
same old road of alienation, with some
real. and good deal of imaginary,
grievances. The wife is the newest
kind of new woman. and some will con-
tend that if she had stayed at home,
minding her own business there would
have been no trouble. But the waywise
know better than this. Adam was sim

managed and amusing little story ends

DAUGHTER OF THE MORNING. By
IONA Gale, author of when I Was
Little Girl" etc. Illustrations by
w. b. King. Indianapolis The
Bobbs-Merrill Company.
{ A fresh, whole hearted story about a
girl who took hold of life in the right
sort of fashion, getting out Of life in
return that which it always yields
when 1t has to. 1t is story of cour-
age, and tho quick wit, of determine
ton, and a homely philosophy that saw
things pretty much as they are and set
down a course Of conduct in harmony
with this shrewd seeing. 1t is a TO
nance, too--a good love story, whose
foundation is more stable than the ma
tority of these. Upon the whole. 1T is
! a freshly captivating bit of fiction that
/ is calculated to make Its author one OF

Fine House From Soapbox.

From commonplace soapbox to a
fine house is the wonderful transfer
nation accomplished by a few of the
older boys. One of these boys also
made neat little ambulance from a
cigar box.
The children of Garfield Park have
made scrapbooks and tiny stockings
filled with popcorn, an orange and a
little toy. These will be taken to the
children's ward of Providence Hospital.
Other stockings are filled with animal
crackers. fruit and toys. to be taken
to other hospitals. while the orphans
will receive less easily digested good
les with their toy.
All of the time has not been devoted
to making the children happy. how
ever. One side of the playground

chiefs. wash cloths, bandages and COM
fort bags for the soldiers, and will be
sent to Walter Reed Hospital for COL

CHEERFUL CHRISTMAS
IS PROMISED CHILDREN

A bright and CHEEKY Christmas is
promised the little children in hos
pitfalls and orphanges as a result of
the efforts of the children of Washing
toms Fairgrounds. The fifteen play
grounds have been turned into Christ
mas workshops during the past month
and thousands of toys have been made
from construction paper, cardboard,
cigar and soap boxes. This work has
been done during the kindergarten and
rest periods by children from four to
eighteen years old.
Scrap books started in the middle of
the summer have been finished in
bright colors. Tiny sweaters were fash
toned for coatless dolls; furniture was
made in suites and packed with COM
plete family of fashionable paper dolls
that light housekeeping might be set
up at short notice.
Numerous disabled dolls have been
mended, given new heads and clothes.
When one old rock horse was given a
new skin his former master said: Gee
| bet he feels good. He's looked aw-
fully cold lately" And no wonder with
the city in the grip Of a cold spell it
recently experienced.

combine the governmental measure of
wool with another material.
Coming, as the reform does, at the
hour when spring and summer fashions
are being conceived, the necessity for
being careful with worsted material
brings less hardship than il the reform
had been launched last July. 1t Is true
that the great mass Of people who do
not live in the south or southwest buy
vast quantity of lightweight worsted
clothes for February, March and April:
but they are quite willing to have the
worsted enlivened by chiffon, satin, silk
or georgette crepe.
If the women of this country under
stand what is behind the new fashions
they will enter into the spirit of con-
servation with as much eagerness and
jealous desire to do right as they have
in the saving of meat, wheat, sugar and
cereals.
These men on the commercial economy
board need have no fear of obstinacy
or rebellion against their decree. The
women of other days and other coun-
tries entered into the spirit of economy
in clothes Wit. as much eagerness as
they entered into the extravaganza of
apparel The whole thing is In giving
women an emotional idea which they
are to work out to completion and sue
