of the sacrifices and obligations that
IL may demand of us, 1t is expedl-

the women of this country fully to
realize how indispensable part they
can play, what valuable factors they
must be. Even the most insignifcant

an important cog in the big ma

I can perhaps make this clearer
by quoting from an article by Edith

when France was called on by her
five thousand million francs in or

enemy, she raised that huge sum
and paid 1t off eighteen months
sooner than the date agreed upon
to the amazement and admiration
of the world.

FEMININE DRONE
IS FAST PASSING
Now Being Recognized as
Weed; No Place For
Her
BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW

The day of the feminine drone is
passing-is passed.
She never had very deep root in
our soil, but now she is being recog-
nized as weed and uprooted from
our gardens. There is no place for
her in this big, different world which
has changed so fast and so entirely.
Only a few years ago it was not
good form to be serious. Socially,
your business was to add to the
gayety of nations. Now it shows the
worst possible taste to be flippant
and frivolous.
To-day in every country on the
globe your business, socially and
economically and humanity, is to
conserve the material resources of
your land and maintain it's spiritual
ideals.
We Americans possess a splendid
heritage, the most lofty ideal that
the mind of a race has ever con-
ceived-democracy. The determina-
ton that Government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the peo-
pie shall not perish from the earth
is born in us, a part not only of our
souls but of our blood and bone and
flesh.
AS women we are not of the type
to permit our men to stand the
whole brunt of the service which
war demands. In the sphere of mill
tary defense, or of joining in the
actual warfare of our Allies, we, of
, course, have no part; but there are
dozens of different organizations
which offer us an opportunity to fit
ourselves for skilled and necessary
service, if the need should arise. In
the big work before the country no
one will have time to bother with
9ny inefficient and unskilled person,
no matter how great may be that
persons anxiety to help.
Still these organizations will claim
only a small part of the feminine
population; but every woman in the
or ties, can yet join in spirit a great
unorganized army. And, by holding
herself strictly to the letter of its re-
quirements, she can be doing "her
bit" as tellingly as any soldier at
the front.
A little group of women in the
| highest official circles, including the
wife of the President. have set an
example of frugality and simplicity
which all women should feel it obli-
gatory to follow. They have pledged
themselves to give no elaborate en-
tertainments; only plain food will
be served at their tables; and their
clothes will be marked by an eX-
treme simplicity.
Now it must be obvious to every
| one that there are even deeper rea-
sons for this than the fact that the
hour has come for us to husband
our vast national resources. We as
[ n country have not so far suffered
because of the war except in a COM
paratively few individual cases; but
since millions of people are living
through the greatest horror possible,
| it shows a coarseness of fibre, a
callous insensibility to that mighty
agony for us to fiount the purple and
pride of our wealth and eXtrava-
gance.
With half the world a house OF
mourning, we should at least show
our sympathy and respect for the
war-scarred souls of millions by
lowering the lights and subduing our
voices, in q measure at least.
And now that we are definitely
in the war and will have to meet all

THEIR MARRIED LIFE"

to go a bit"
"Of course you don't. said War
rem testify. You've forgotten al
ready, however, that / did something
I didn't want to do bit the other
day when you asked it as favor"
Helen flushed. She had forgotten
what a dear Warren had been when
he had filled in at her card party
And she said then that she would
remember his goodness forever.
"Oh. dear, 1 had forgotten for a
moment" she said penitently, for
give me, won't you. and let me make
it up to you?"
NO, / don't know as I want you
to be martyr. If | thought you
would go and act like an injured

The argument had arisen concern

delighted in a musical comedy. II

he had a desire to go nothing that
Helen could say to the contrary

Helen disliked light opera intensely
She endured 1t once in while, but
she considered the money thrown
away.
Warren had come home filled to
the brim with the idea that the new
est one was a peach and had sug-
gested that they take 1t in. Helen
was so fond of the theater that she
hated to have Warren spend money
on a performance she considered
worthless when there were SO many
good plays she wanted to see. Con-
sequently she had suggested, as she
thought tactfully, that they see the
newest melodrama.
Talk about clap-trap stuff" War
rem had said scornfully. Its not fiji
for a decent woman to witness.
Now, Warren, you know that's
not true"

suggested, it has all kinds of bal

take me I'll promise to be good al
evening.
Warren was really too anxious tC
go himself not to taken Helen at hel
word and they proceeded to make
ready. Helen had heard nothing al
all about the play. She cared moth
ing at all about it anyway, as she
was simply going to please Warren
and she was almost certain of what
it would consist.

all came back. But he had yet to
trace through the confusion of the
wind and the binding snow the di-
rection of the answering reports.
Hither and thither he rode, this
way and that, testing out the loca-
ton of the slowly repeated shots, and
signaling at intervals in return. Slow
ly and doggedly he kept on, shooting,
listening. wheeling and advancing
until, as he raised his revolver to fire
ii again, a cry close at hand came out
of the storm. 1t was a woman's voice
borne on the wind. Riding swiftly to
the left. a horses outline revealed
itself at moments in the driving snow
ahead.
De Spain cried out, and from be-
hind the furious curtain heard his
name, loudly called. He pushed his
stumbling horse on. The dim outline
of a second horse, the background of
a wagon, a storm-beaten man-all
this passed his eyes unheeded. They
were bent on girlish figure running
toward his as he slid sty from
the saddle. The next instant Nan
was in his arms.
